Bride of the Cursed Alpha (Auren and Lucien)

Chapter 214

Summer POV

My dad had sold me once earlier, and I should have run away that time. But that night when I woke up after a terrible nightmare in a strange house, I was scared and shaking. I wondered if I was still in the cult building. The cultist had made me drink something after which he brought me to a large table. I wanted to protest, but the effect of the medicine he gave me was fast. He had said that it would help me, and that I won't feel the pain when they dissected me. He meant that they would dissect me alive. Petrified, I resisted in whatever way I could, but the medicine had consumed me completely.

After that, I didn't know what happened, but I sensed that someone picked me up and carried me out safely. I really wanted to wake up, but I couldn't. If only I knew who saved me, just so I could thank him.

I don't know for how long I was unconscious, but my sleep was riddled with nightmares. And when I woke up, I was delirious. Often, I would hear people talking in garbled voices. A gentle touch would, a whisper, a soft breeze...

When I finally woke up, my body was shaking. It felt like I would be blown away by a strong gust of wind. Why was I so weak? It was the middle of the night. I got out of bed and scanned the room. It was a cozy, luxurious room, which made me feel comfy. However, my thoughts returned to my father and anger slammed in my chest. How could he sell me for such a heinous crime? I tiptoed out of the room to see if anyone was awake. But the house was shrouded in darkness and quiet. I went down the stairs, clutching my shirt, and my eyes fell on a landline phone. Without thinking much, I dialed the number.

"You sold me!" I hissed at my father.

"Oh, you're alive?" he deadpanned.

"Did you know that they were going to kill me?" Tears stung in my eyes.

He sighed. "Where are you?"

"Somewhere you can never reach!" I replied. "Don't ever try to find me, dad." Saying that I slammed the receiver down. I was shaking so hard that I grabbed the back of a sofa and sat down. It was impossible to stop my tears, and so I sobbed and sobbed. If only mom was alive... Finally, after what seemed like hours, I decided to thank the person who saved me and then leave.

The phone beside me rang, taking me by surprise. Afraid that it would disturb the residents, I picked it up. "Hello?"

"I know where you are, Summer," father's irritated voice came. "I won't come in back, else I will kill the guy inside. And you know it!"

A chill ran down my spine. "You won't! How did you-"

He scoffed. "You know I will. So be a good girl, and come back."

"Just leave me," I cried. "I hate you! You hate me."
