Natala (Emerald) POV:\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cNatala Natala break the barr\u2026.\u201d I heard a voice call out to me.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Claim\u00a0<\/p>\n
It seemed so far away, but before I could respond, everything went blank; static rang loudly that I jolted up, my eyes popping open. Looking around, was confused; this wasn\u2019t my room when the realization of what had happened came rushing back to me. I jumped out of the huge black\u00a0<\/p>\n
canopy bed, ignoring everything around and rushed to the door. Edward had taken me, he had\u00a0<\/p>\n
taken Leah, and she wasn\u2019t here with me. Where was she? Was she safe? Question after question\u00a0<\/p>\n
popped into my mind.\u00a0<\/p>\n
The image of my mates flashed in my mind over and over again. I had never seen them so scared\u00a0<\/p>\n
and helpless. I tried reaching out to them, but all I felt was emptiness. Both my hands went to the\u00a0<\/p>\n
side of my neck, cupping my marks as tears fell down my cheeks.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Were Hannah and Ela fine?\u00a0<\/p>\n
Where were we?\u00a0<\/p>\n
What would happen now, and would my mates and brothers be able to find us?\u00a0<\/p>\n
Question after question rang in my mind, answers to none as the fear of not seeing my mate or\u00a0<\/p>\n
family ever again dawned on me. I tried reaching out to my wolf and Lycan, but all I got was static.\u00a0<\/p>\n
I slid down the large brown mahogany doors, clutching my legs to my chest as I cried my heart\u00a0<\/p>\n
out.\u00a0<\/p>\n
I was scared; I wanted to go home. I didn\u2019t want my bond with the quads suppressed and forced to\u00a0<\/p>\n
mate with that psychopath of an uncle I had. My soul cried out to our mates in the hope they\u00a0<\/p>\n
would find us, but I knew it was a long shot. As long as Khole stood by Edward, it would be difficult\u00a0<\/p>\n
to do anything. How and when she got Ela, Leah and Hannah in my room and successfully enchanted the doors back in the packhouse was proof of how powerful she was. Clara had put\u00a0<\/p>\n
wards around the pack and, from what I knew, even enchanted my room to keep me safe. Despite\u00a0<\/p>\n
all of that, Khole managed to break through every ward put up.\u00a0<\/p>\n
I don\u2019t know how long I sat there drowning myself in my tears till, eventually, darkness succumbed\u00a0<\/p>\n
to me again.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cMiss, wake up! It\u2019s time to eat.\u201d I felt someone nudge me.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Slowly opening my eyes, I see a worried-looking redhead with brown eyes looking down at me.\u00a0<\/p>\n
<\u00a0<\/p>\n

Chapter Eighty-Five You\u2019re Mine\u00a0<\/p>\n
Clam\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cMiss, you\u2019ve been asleep for more than thirteen hours now. Please eat something before you faint\u00a0<\/p>\n
again.\u201d Said the girl.\u00a0<\/p>\n
I looked over at the tray of food. Even though the spaghetti bolognese looked delicious and smelled even better, I couldn\u2019t trust anyone here. What if they had added something in the food for the spell or any other reason. I needed to stay alive and find a way to rescue Leah and get out of here. Sitting up, I looked at the girl; she couldn\u2019t have been any older than me. Without my wolf or lycan, I couldn\u2019t tell if she was a witch or wolf.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cWhat\u2019s your name, and where are we?\u201d I asked\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cI\u2019m Rayla. As for where we are, I\u2019m sorry I can\u2019t tell you. It will get me killed and you into some\u00a0<\/p>\n
serious trouble.\u201d Rayla said, whispering the last part\u00a0<\/p>\n
As much as I wanted to argue and get an answer, I wasn\u2019t going to put her life at risk.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cDo you know where my friend is?\u201d I asked\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cShe\u2019s fine! She\u2019s being kept downstairs in the guest wing. She has an attendant for herself. Don\u2019t worry; I sensed she was pregnant and ensured she was kept far away from Master and Mistress.\u201d Said Rayla\u00a0<\/p>\n
Her words had calmed me down a bit. As much as should\u2019ve doubted her, I had a feeling that I\u00a0<\/p>\n
could trust her.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cI\u2019m Natala.\u201d I said\u00a0<\/p>\n
Rayla smiled\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cI know, the lost princess of the wolf multiverse. One of the three hybrids to exist.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
I was shocked she knew I was a hybrid: that information had been kept a secret for security reasons. All the more Rayla talked, it became clear she wasn\u2019t a wolf but more a witch. Just as I was about to ask her, she spoke up.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cI\u2019m a witch. I was taken away by a mistress from my coven when I was a child. I\u2019ve been severing her ever since. I can read auras and see the future, not like an oracle but a recent glimpse.\u201d Rayla\u00a0<\/p>\n
said\u00a0<\/p>\n
Before I could ask her anything else, Rayla spoke up\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cYou need to eat!\u201d She said, pushing the plate in front of me.\u00a0<\/p>\n
My stomach growled at the smell of food, but I was scared to eat it; what if it was poisoned or had any drug in it. I needed to stay awake to make sure could at least fight them off when they tried doing the spell.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cLook, I know what you\u2019re planning, but for that, you need energy, and you won\u2019t get any if you don\u2019t\u00a0<\/p>\n
<\u00a0<\/p>\n
< Chapter Eighty-Five You\u2019re Mine\u00a0<\/p>\n
Clam\u00a0<\/p>\n
eat anything. I can assure you the food has nothing in it. I personally made it.\u201d Said Rayla, as she\u00a0<\/p>\n
took a fork full of spaghetti and ate it.\u00a0<\/p>\n
When nothing happened after a few minutes, she smiled again and pushed the plate towards me. I\u00a0<\/p>\n
didn\u2019t waste a second and took it and started eating. Even though I thought Rayla was nice, I was a\u00a0<\/p>\n
little scared; what if she told Edward or Khole what was planning. I knew she didn\u2019t know the plan\u00a0<\/p>\n
because, honestly, I didn\u2019t have one, but I didn\u2019t need her telling them that I was trying to escape.\u00a0<\/p>\n
They had Leah hostage for this very reason, to keep me in check, and I was sure Edward would not\u00a0<\/p>\n
think twice about acting on his threat toward Leah\u2019s life.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cUm, you\u2019re not going to\u2026\u201d before I could complete my sentence, Rayla grabbed my hands and\u00a0<\/p>\n
smiled at me.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cI may work for them, but that doesn\u2019t mean I like them. I\u2019m helpless in the situation, but you aren\u2019t. I would never tell them anything, plus even if they ask, it\u2019s not like I know what you\u2019re planning.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Said Rayla, winking at me.\u00a0<\/p>\n
I gave her a genuine smile this time, and just as I was about to hug her, the door opened, and\u00a0<\/p>\n
Edward walked in.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cWell, good morning, my darling mate. How are you feeling?\u201d Said, Edward\u00a0<\/p>\n
I ignored him and went back to eating as Rayla got off the bed and left the room. I heard his shoes smack the wooden floor coming closer and closer to my direction, but I didn\u2019t look his way. I didn\u2019t wanna look at the abomination of a man. Just as I was about to take another fork full of spaghetti, the back of my hair was pulled back, and my arched outwards as Edward sneered down at me.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cWhat did I say about disrespect, darling. Do you really wish for me to beat you?\u201d He said.\u00a0<\/p>\n
I didn\u2019t say anything and just closed my eyes, thinking about my mates and their warm embrace. However, the sociopath had to fulfill his urges; he pulled harder on my hair, no doubt ripping them\u00a0<\/p>\n
out of my skull.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cWell, since you love to be an annoying b***h how about I bring that little friend of yours and play\u00a0<\/p>\n
around,\u201d Edward said\u00a0<\/p>\n
That had my eyes open instantly as I gave him a hard glare.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cLeave Leah out of this! Are you that curl of a person to attack a pregnant she-wolf, have you no\u00a0<\/p>\n
honour?\u201d I sneered\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cOh, I do have honour, darling. It\u2019s just that my mate is being a stubborn b***h and the only way to get her into submission is by torturing her little friends. Like I said, darling, everything is in your hands. You cause problems, and that she-wolf will suffer.\u201d Said, Edward\u00a0<\/p>\n
I don\u2019t know what came over me or where I found the strength, but I spat on him and then slapped him hard across the face with the plate I had in my hand. The plate shattered, and his blood mixed\u00a0<\/p>\n
<\u00a0<\/p>\n

with bolognese sauce. The scene was quite an amusing sight, but I didn\u2019t dare to laugh. The look in his eyes was that of a killer; if I wasn\u2019t the so-called hybrid to give him extreme power, I would\u2019ve\u00a0<\/p>\n
no doubt been six feet under by now.\u00a0<\/p>\n
I screamed out in pain as Edward pulled me off the bed by my hair and dragged me by my hair on\u00a0<\/p>\n
the floor, out of the room and down the stairs. Every bump of the stairs bruised my body as we went down; my back was on the verge of breaking. gripped Edward\u2019s hand, hoping to lessen the pressure, but he just kicked me, which had me grunting. As we passed the living room, Khole\u2019s\u00a0<\/p>\n
annoying voice rang out.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cNice look, Edward, loving it.\u201d She said and then looked down at me with a cruel smirk.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cWell, that didn\u2019t take long. So much like her mother always causing problems.\u201d Said Khole, filing her nails as she walked out of the room as Edward continued to drag me across the hall and down a set of dark stairs. Tears ran down my face, but I didn\u2019t beg him; I would never beg him! I would never stoop so low to beg him, he wasn\u2019t going to listen, and I wasn\u2019t going to put my self-respect\u00a0<\/p>\n
on the line.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Without my wolf or lycan, I was practically blinded down here. But I didn\u2019t need my enhanced senses to smell the stench of feces, piss and rotten flesh. The smell had me dry heaving, and the thought of being left alone here made me shiver in fear. Edward had finally stopped and instructed someone to open the cell door. I shivered in fear; apart from us three, I could also feel other people around; I wasn\u2019t sure how many, but I could tell there were a few.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Before Edward threw me in, he slapped me and grabbed my jaw, making my lips pucker out. His hold was so tight that I believed it would crack if he didn\u2019t let go soon.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cYou like misbehaving, right! You\u2019ll stay here until I think you\u2019re ready to be let out. Plus, since we need those quadruplets mutts\u2019 blood for the spell, we have some time on our hands to kill.\u201d Said Edward as he pushed me back into the cold hard rock floor; I heard the cell door shut and locked in\u00a0<\/p>\n
place.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cI could\u2019ve given you the world till the spell was completed, Wine and dine you, but you had to ruin it! No matter! A little time here will show you how serious I was about everything, and it\u2019s only a matter of time; your bond with me will make you do my every bidding.\u201d Said Edward.\u00a0<\/p>\n
His words gave me shudders. I heard him turn and walk away just before he left, he told the guard.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cMove all prisoners to the east wing. Leave her alone here and give her only one meal and one glass of water daily.\u201d Said Edward as he left.\u00a0<\/p>\n
His words awoke a new fear in me. I was not a fan of the dark, and being alone with no food or water scared me. How was I supposed to escape? Tears fell from my eyes as craddled my bruised legs to my chest.\u00a0<\/p>\n
