PLEASE READ!!

Hey Guys. So I just quickly have to preface this chapter by warning you that in this chapter, Acacia gets raped. It's not too graphic and I've chosen to leave it in the book as it is important to the story. You can skip ahead if you wish to.

Thanks,

- Allamy xx

I scream out in pain as Zane's fist connects with my face, squaring me straight in the jaw. I begin to sob again, so badly wanting to hold my jaw in my hands but they stay locked in the silver handcuffs, the metal burning my skin as I writhe in pain. 

"HE'S YOUR FUCKING MATE?!" Zane screams at me before punching me in the stomach. 

Winded, I gasp for air, gagging slightly, dizziness making itself present in my head. I groan in pain and suddenly I am being lifted up by my throat. 

Zane's hand squeezes tighter and tighter around my neck, tears pouring from my eyes as his gaze burns into me. I finally make eye contact with him as my vision starts to swim and I am dropped back onto the ground, my arms barely holding me up as I stay stuck in the handcuffs. 

My cheek stings suddenly and it is then that I realised that Zane has slapped me. I look up at him and see he is shaking, trying hard not to shift. I drop my head forward as my legs give out and I hang limply from the chains. 

"Grayson" I try mind-linking, even though I know there's no use as the wolfsbane has probably already taken effect.

Nothing.

God, I wish he was here to rip Zane apart. I hope he finds me soon. Suddenly, I am being held up against the wall by a surprisingly now calm Zane. He gives me a sick smile before moving his lips to my ear. 

"Just because you're not mine anymore, doesn't mean I can't have any fun," he says in a low voice, loud enough for me to hear him. I shiver and my stomach drops. 

"Plus, this will cause Grayson a hell of a lot of pain and that's what he deserves for taking you away from me" he continues before chuckling. I feel more tears run down my cheeks and my bottom lip trembles. He moves away from me for a moment before smiling again. 

"You won't be needing these anymore either," he says before ripping my hearing aids out of my ears, dropping them on the ground and crushing them in one swift stomp. 

"N-noooo!" I cry out before looking away as he then proceeds to finish what he started. 

His hands find their way back onto my body and I stop myself from gagging. I hate this. Soon his pants are off and a condom goes on. 

Grayson, please hurry. 

Tears roll down my cheeks as Zane inserts himself into me and pain rips through me. I scream out and his hand flies over my mouth as he begins to thrust, the pain worsening. 

My heart feels like it's breaking and even though my wolf side has been dulled with wolfsbane, I know Grayson is feeling this too. I sob and my vision begins to swim again as his grip on me tightens and he speeds up. 

I gag again but this time I can't hold it in. 

Zane removes his hand quickly and my head drops to the side as I begin to vomit. Out of the corner of my eye, I see Zane roll his eyes before continuing. I vomit once again, my body becoming limper and limper, the pain taking full effect. 

Black spots appear in my vision and I feel myself begin to sway as Zane's tight grip keeps me upright so he can finish his business. My knees buckle underneath me as Zane gives one final thrust before stepping away, leaving me to hang naked from the silver chains. 

I watch, barely conscious, as he puts his pants back on and grabs a key out of his pocket and proceeds to unlock my hands from the metal cuffs. I crumple to the ground, smacking my head on the ground in the process as I am too weak to hold it up anymore. 

The last thing I see before I blackout is Zane's smirking face as he turns and walks out of my cell. 

Grayson, my love, please hurry.

I groan, my body aching as I slowly wake up. I slowly sit up and inspect myself. Oh, it's bad. 

Bruises and cuts decorate my skin like brush strokes on a canvas, dark and violent on my pale skin. I lightly trace some of the bruises before turning my attention to the cell. Empty, as usual, except for a small pile of ratty clothes. Looks like I'm not getting fed today. I quickly pull on the dirty clothes in an effort to cover my damaged body and retain some warmth.

I look up at the small window and see that a small ray of sun is starting to shine through. Dawn. Someone will be in here soon to give me my wolfsbane, I assume. 

God, I hate it here. I need to find a way out, or a way to a least communicate with Grayson so that he can get me out. I need to find a way to get out of having the wolfsbane shots. 

I notice something shine out of the corner of my eye. More light is spilling into my small cell at this point and it is then that I see something glistening under the ray of sunshine. I slowly crawl over to the object and excitement bubbles within me when I realise what it is. 

They used wolfsbane syringes. Zane must've left it in here from yesterday. 

My attention suddenly snaps towards the door as the vibration of footsteps begin to come closer and keys jangle as they begin to unlock the cell door. 

Panicking, I quickly stab the needle into the side of my neck, biting my lip to stop myself from screaming before tucking the syringe into the band of my underwear and crawling back over to the spot I was originally in. 

The door swings open and a guard walks in, holding a full syringe of wolfsbane. I watch nervously as he grins wickedly before walking over to me. 

God, I hope this works. 

He stands me up and goes to plunge the new needle into my neck when he notices the new puncture wound, blood oozing from it. Confused, he shrugs and puts me down before walking out of my cell and locking it again without any questioning. 

Yes! Oh my god, I can't believe that worked. These rogues are more stupid than I remember.

I do a little dance, happy that my plan worked. Now, to keep doing that until I can mind-link again. I sigh and sit back down and lean against the wall, closing my eyes. 

"Grayson?" I mind-link nervously, testing to see if I can mind-link at all yet. No reply. However, my heart warms slightly. 

Smiling, I know it will only take a day or so till I can talk to him again. Just have to stay alive till then. 

Hang in there, Grayson.
