Chapter 55 A full moon.

Doris stood her ground and didn’t move an inch towards him. She glanced at her surroundings, but didn’t see another person near enough to see them. How had she strayed so far from the path? Would anyone even help her if they were near? “Can’t you hear? I said to get over here!” He shouted, the sound made her flinch when it echoed around them. Doris curled her hands into fists at her sides. She was tired of people screaming at her and telling her what to do. “No. I’m going to my room for the evening, good day.” Doris turned to continue down the path. She regretted turning her back on him the instant she heard his footsteps smack against the snow. He grabbed her arm and forced her to turn and look at him. His breath smelled like alcohol and death, she blinked away the flashbacks of the night she was attacked and pushed him away from her. The movement knocked the hat off his bald head, he angrily picked it up and shoved it back on his

I heard you liked listening to orders at the palace.” He hissed, Doris pushed on his chest to get away from him. “Let me go, you animal! You’re hurting me!” Doris started hitting his hand that gripped her, he laughed as if she was acting like this for his own entertainment. It infuriated her. “Listen here,” he grabbed her shoulders and shook her harshly like a rag doll. “I don’t trust you in this camp. I know you’re more than you claim and I won’t let them feed you information that’ll get us all killed.” He leaned closer to her, Doris stomped on his foot as hard as she could but he didn’t seem to feel it. She wondered if his feet were frozen from the cold, or if he was simply too drunk for it to phase him. “I’m not-” “Save it, little one. Jules and Darrell knew exactly what was best for this pack and I’m going to finish what they started.” He picked her up off the ground as if she

could hear his steps close behind her. He grabbed the back of her sweater and yanked her back, she fell to the ground and grabbed at anything she could reach before he lifted her up again. “You have some fight in you, don’t ya?” He laughed like a madman. It was as if he got some sort of sick thrill from watching her fight for her life. The joke was on him, Doris was tired of being the victim. He straddled her and went to wrap his hands around her throat. Doris tightened her grip on a sharp rock and smashed it

he was. He pinned her face to the ground and straddled her back. She could hear the sound of his belt buckle being fumbled with and her stomach twisted with pure fear. “You stupid bitch, you deserve this,” Suddenly he was off her as if he was never there. Doris took a deep breath and slowly turned to see Enzo holding him by his throat off to the side. A group formed around them quickly, Elena helped Doris stand and they both stepped away from the men. “What do you think you’re doing, Stephen?” Enzo asked the man with a voice dipped in poison. He held him as if he weighed nothing off the

me? Have you paid a visit to them lately?” Enzo said through his teeth. She could tell he was tightening his grip with every word he spoke. A sick part of Doris was glad to see the man suffer. “I don’t suppose you have, otherwise you wouldn’t be going against my direct order not to harm our visitor.” Enzo put him down and allowed Stephen to breath. The man gulped in air and stumbled back until he fell on his ass. Enzo placed his hands behind his back and walked towards him. “What do you have to say for yourself, Stephen? I

I think your wife would like to know what you were trying to do to our guest out here in the snow.” “I–I was drunk, I wasn’t thinking.” Stephen stuttered. He still hadn’t stood from where he fell, he cowered away from Enzo. It made Doris realize that they loved him as much as they feared him. “We were just talking, weren’t we?” He asked Doris desperately. Enzo glanced at Doris. “No. We weren’t.” Doris said with her chin raised. No more would she be silent about what happened to her. Enzo nodded his head in approval

on the floor. “You heard the lady, she says you’re lying.” Enzo pulled a small knife from his pocket and leaned over to grip Stephen’s head. “You know what I do to liars and to those who disobey me.” “No, please! I just wanted to talk, I’m sorry she got scared!” Enzo gripped his tongue and cut off half of it without a hesitation. Doris gasped a little with the crowd around her. No
