Chapter 70

Regan POV

I feel helpless. I had been forced to watch as they injected Xavier with wolfsbane before doing the same to me. Weakened, there wasn’t much I could do in order to help him, let alone myself. My body throbbed with pain and was littered with bruises. I could feel my lip swelling from where I had tried to fight as they restrained me. It had only resulted in more pain and a hard kick to my ribs, resulting in several possibly being broken. I could see Xavier standing there, his posture straight. his hands clenched into fists, and wondered whether he had the strength to fight at all, let alone in his human form. I knew that he was good at fighting, and was a phenomenal warrior, but weakened by wolfsbane? Not even an Alpha could hope to win in this sort of situation. I couldn’t see how Xavier could posibly hope to come out as the victor. He would be better off running and saving himself. My stomach chumed, however, at the thought of what was in store for me if Xavier didn’t win and did just that.

“Fight me and if you win, both of you will go free,” the man, or rogue called Jet said, his eyes fixed on Xavier.

I wanted to sob some more. It was my fault that we had gotten into this situation. Why hadn’t I been more careful when we had been trying to leave without giving ourselves away? How could I have been so careless, so clumsy? Another rogue knelt beside me and to my shock undid the ropes on my hands and les. It soon became evident why he was doing it as he roughly grabbed me by the hair, causing me to give a whimper ef pain Xavier’s head turned as he glanced over his shoulder at me. My hands clawed uselessly at the rogue’s hands, who forced me to kneel on my knees on the hard dirt.

“Watch as your mate dies a slow and painful death” the rogue holding me ordered, his breath disgustingly pungent, his teeth yellow and stained.

I struggled some more and ther was forced to accept defeat, my shoulders slumping in resignation while Xavier gritted his teeth, the expression on his face angrier than ever. I knew he didn’t like the fact that they were touching me, but there was nothing to be done about it at the present moment. Right now he needed to concentrate on jet and the threat he posed.

The disgusting rogue holding me trailed a finger down my check, and I gave a small sob as I cringed at the contact, his finger dirty and revolting. “Such a pretty little thing you are” he commented as Xavier listened, staring at Jet with malice in his eyes “I’m going to enjoy taking you” he added with glee.

Nausea overwhelms me and I gag, trying not to vomit, my stomach roiling. I’m at their mercy and they know it. My body is shaking violently as I try to keep myself from losing what little composure I have left

“You hear that” jet hissed with a grin on his face, standing there as Xavier’s jaw clenched harder. “They’re already to have her. Are you going to be a man or are you going to turn tail and run?” he taunted.

1 knew Xavier would never leave me. He wasn’t capable of it, even if I begged him to. Our mate bond was too strong and our relationship was continuing to grow even stronger. We loved each other too much, even if we hadn’t expressed it with words, we both knew. The rogue twisted his hand further in my hair, causing me more pain. Tears trailed down my cheeks. I heard Xavier suck in a breath. Before I could utter a word, he was lunging towards Jet who was taken aback by the speed that Xavier possessed even as weakened as he was. The other rogues remained in a circle, their red eyes gleaming, watching, waiting None of them made any moves to interfere, at least not yet. I wondered if they were waiting for Jet to issue instructions or if they were lying when it came to us leaving. There was no doubt in my mind that they would not let us go. Not when they had gone to so much trouble to catch us. My stomach roiled. I would rather die than face what they intended for me.I vowed to kill myself if it came down to it but trusted that Xavier knew what he was doing.

Smack. Xavier’s fist connected with Jet’s face, immediately blackening his eye. Instead of angering the rogue, it only made him look delighted.

I hoped that karma got them good for this. I hoped they all died miserably.
