Sierra’s pov
I look at myself in the broken mirror of the store room and tears sting my eyes.
My neck, chest, arms and legs were all covered in bruises.
I couldn’t sleep a second last night.
The feel of those creatures walking on my skin, haunted me like my worst nightmare.
Sometimes it still feels they are still crawling on me.
Tugging on my shirts arm, I walk towards his room.
I knock and a low comes in grunts from the inside.
I step in and there he stood in his suit and pants, his fingers busy adjusting his hair.
He looks at me through the mirror to groan.
“You are not wearing that.
”
I look down at the loose pants and long shirt to say nothing.
He mind links someone and the next minute Martha steps in with

“Go and change.
”
I pick up the boxes to leave to my room when he stops me.
“Where are you going?”
“To my bathroom.
”
“Just change them in mine.
We don’t have time.
”
I walk into his lavish bathroom to strip down my clothes and change.
It was a yellow sundress, reaching below my knees.
It had long sleeves and I was thankful for it.
But the neck? It showed the bruises on my neck clearly.
Walking out I open the second box to find nude sneakers in it, stepping my feet into it, I cringe as my bruises feet brush against the leather.
My fingers struggle with tying the shoe lace and I am taken.
down the memory lane.
Mom always did that for me.
I wonder how she is, or if she misses me.
Why no one from home, called?

It’s been more than weeks,
Are they really happy to get rid of me?
Lost in thoughts I didn’t realise when cold fingers wrap around my ankle and next I know, my feet are tugged up to rest on a speckless suit pant.
I look down in horror to find him kneeling in front of me, his strong fingers tie my shoe lace effortlessly.

“You are really useless.
”
He whispers and I was going to pull back my foot when his grip tightens on my ankle.
He repeats for my second shoe and I just sit there awkwardly.
Staring at his fingers of all things in the room.
He stares at me from top to bottom and then turns around to pull out something from his drawer.
“Move aside your hair.
”
I abide,
My body shivered as suddenly something cold touched my neck.
And my eyes snap up to look at him in horror.
He stood just inches away.
A strange tube held in his hand.
“It’s an antiseptic doll.
Stop moving.
”
Once he is done, I get up to hurry away from him.
Picking up a silk scarf, I was going to wrap it around my neck when he stops
me.
“You are not covering them, doll.
Remove it.
”
Is he crazy!
“They will see it and come to know you have hurt me.
”
He smirks stepping closer to me and I clench my fists.
“Aren’t you too naive, doll.
Bruises are not always a symbol of pain.
Sometimes….
”
He stands behind me and sniffs my hair strand to run his cold.

“They also represent pleasure.

He whispers in my ear and I go stiff.
A shiver travels down my spine and I spat his hand to move away.
An arrogant smirk lingers on his lips.
“Don’t you think the council should know how much love we shared last night? After all, you are now my wife.
”
He laced the word wife with so much hate that I couldn’t match the intensity of his eyes.
I looked away and he offers me his hand almost gentlemanly.
“Shall we?”
We enter the drawing room and my heart thuds seeing 3 of the most elders sitting there, waiting!
“Good Afternoon, Elders.
”
Xavier wishes them while I remain silent, my eyes too fascinated with my own feet.
I was suddenly feeling too.
conscious, how am I going to lie.

I have never done it before.
What if the elders see through it?
My thudding heart becomes audible in my ears.
My hands turn shaky.
Breathing suddenly became difficult and I had this urge to just turn away and run.

When suddenly, warm fingers sneak into my freezing ones and a strong hold grasps my clammy palms.
My eyes snap up to meet Xaviers eyes.
“Relax doll, I am here.
”
He was smiling brilliantly.
And for an unknown reason my stupid heart adhered to his words.
His hand moves down to rest on my waist and I am pulled closer to him.
He rubs circles on my waist and I find it extremely relaxing.
“Mrs Sierra.
It’s a pleasure to meet you.
”
One of the elders say and I look up to find him softly smiling at
me.
“Li… like wise elders.
Hello.

I nod to everyone and they all reply to my greetings.
Xavier tugs me along and we settle down on a sofa.
I have never sat this close to him.
Our thighs were touching.
But he looked least bothered by it.
His hands refuse to o mine
“How are you feeling now, Mrs Sierra? We heard the news and came to check upon you.
”
“I am fine.
Thank you for…asking.
”
“Mrs Sierra.
If you don’t mind me asking, what happened exactly?”
Shoot.
Here goes nothing.
I feel Xavier go stiff beside me and my mouth opens and closes.
“… …”
I…
I look up to find the elders staring at Xavier rather than me.
“Alpha.
If you don’t mind, we would like to talk to Mrs Sierra in private.
”
Xavier’s jaw hardens, he was resisting.
But then he nods and

It’s sick, I know but I felt empty with the lack of his contact.
He gets up to leave and I don’t know what possessed me.
Before I know my hand latches to clasp around his.

He looks back at me surprised.
And I gulp.
“Sta…y.
”
A strange emotion clouds in his eyes.
He looks back at the elders and they held similar expression.
They were shocked.
“As you wish.
”
He lifts up our intervened hands and presses a kiss on my knuckles.
It felt strange, this loving side of him was even more scary than his hatred one.ConTEent bel0ngs to Nôv(e)lD/rama(.)Org .
I never know what may come my way.
He is very much unpredictable.

He settles beside me and with a strong tug, he pulls me to his chest.
Lifting me up effortlessly, he places me in his lap.
“I can hear your thudding heart, calm it down.
”
He whispers and I snuggle my face in his chest, the elders could.
read face expressions.
I hate their eyes on me.
Xavier moves aside my hair from my neck and the elders gasp.
Their eyes fixed on my neck where the bruises stand.
“It seems you both have grown too close in barely few days.
It’s unexpected you know.
”
Shit!
We were overdoing it.
Of course they would know.
Xavier plays with my hair strand to whisper softly.
His eyes look at me in so much sincerity that I struggle telling my heart it’s a lie.
“I have come to the realisation that hate only causes bloodshed and chaos.
Sierra here is as much as a victim to what has happened, as was my late wife.
”
“I don’t blame her for her father’s wrongdoings.
And if you ask me genuinely?”
