My Second Chance novel Chapter 7

Sapphire's P.O.V

His minty and chocolaty smell hit me like a wave.

My face faced the ground, allowing my hair to shield my face from him to avoid eye contact.

"Why is one of her chains snapped?" His sexy voice vibrated. Oh my God, I could just listen to him speak forever and ever and ever. "She snapped it." Alec growled. Oh... being brave now that the Alpha is here huh? "Snapped?" I could hear the curiosity in his voice.

Look up and show him that you're not afraid of, Drew ordered. Drew,there are times where you need to draw a line between power, you know, I reminded her. Drew grumbled.

"You... Look up." My mate ordered. I squeezed my eyes shut tighter,my head still facing down. "Look up." He growled with a harder note on his words. I still disobeyed, not willing to see mate just yet. Mates hurt us,I thought to myself. Does he not know that we are his mate? Gwen whimpered. I could feel her hurt coursing through my body. I did my best to ignore it. Look up if you want to live Sapph, Drew snapped. No! Never! I screamed at her. The cell's locked door swung open. His footsteps and heartbeat becoming louder and louder. I whimpered a little as Gwen pranced around in excitement.

Just look up into his eyes, Sapph. We all know you want to... Those gorgeous eyes of his, Drew tried to smoothtalk me. His footsteps soon stopped and I could feel him standing right in front of me. I could feel his gaze burning and his warm breath that was fanning my hair.

"Leave." His voice echoed in the cell. "Yes Alpha." Alec replied respectfully as his footsteps got quieter and quieter. Soon, the sound of a metal door being closed rang through the cells.

My heartbeat went faster. My blood started rushing through my veins in a higher speed. Fear crept through my body.

It seriously scared me. I haven't felt fear for so long, that it gave me an unfamiliar feeling.

"Look up." He said again, this time more softly. Tears of fear rolled down my cheeks. I'm so pathetic right now. I could kill him right now easily and escape. I could destroy the existence of his pack. But I wasn't going to do that. I'm not going to do that. I won't do that.
