Chapter 12 “

No, no, no,” I shriek while kicking my legs. Darius pins them to the bed before crawling on it and straddling my waist. My eyes frantically search the room before my eyes fall on Kalen. Lycus looked away beside him like he couldn’t handle watching as Darius and Tobias pinned me to the bed.

“I was trying. I was trying, Darius,” I scream as Darius takes the bowl from my hands, and Tobias shoves my shoulders down flat on the bed. Tears streamed down my cheeks as I thrashed. I was doing what they wanted.

“Darius, what are you doing?” Kalen says, sounding outraged, his eyes going to me, and I look at him frantically, wanting him to stop them as he rushed over to the bed.

“She did it to herself; we warned her. Lycus, get Kalen out of here,” Darius snaps. Lycus grabs Kalen’s arm. Kalen shoves him off and steps closer to Darius.

“She was eating for fuck sake,” Kalen tells him, grabbing his arm as Darius moved higher, straddling my chest.

“No, she was deliberately spilling it.” Darius snarls.

“No, I wasn’t… I wasn’t, please,” I begged. Tobias pins my hands in one of his before pinching my nose, so I have to breathe through my mouth.

“She is starving, Darius. For fuck sake, you try holding a spoon steady when you haven’t eaten in days; I told Tobias to put it i n a cup for her,” Kalen snaps at him before glaring at Tobias, who growls at him.

“You dare go against us. You just saw her tip it back in the bowl “Darius turns to glare over his shoulder at him, but Kalen doesn’t flinch away from his gaze. Lycus touches his shoulder, and Kalen shrugs him off. I don’t know what look he had on his face, but it was enough that Lycus took a step back from.

“You haven’t gone hungry; you have no idea how hard it is to eat when you have gone days without food. I will feed her. Just let her go and move. She wasn’t spilling it; her hands are shaking,” Kalen tells Darius, who scoffs. Embarrassment hits me, making a hiccuped sob escape me. This was so humiliating.

“Please, Darius,” Kalen pleads, touching his arm and making Darius glance at him over his shoulder. Darius glares at him before his features soften like he couldn’t bear to see Kalen upset before he sighs and looks down at me beneath him. Tobias lets go of my nose and wrists. Darius nods before climbing off me, and I scramble upright, tugging the shirt down and bringing my knees to my chest. It horrified me that h e was about to force a tube down my throat, not a care in the world that he would be hurting me.
