Fated To Three Betrayed By All Until She Rose (Leilani) by Ahvahh novel Chapter 71

Chapter 71: The kidnapping.

Leilani.

My eyes snapped open suddenly but thinned when I noticed that I was in a room that was not mine; and I instantly knew this because while my room decoration was upscale and minimalist, this place was dark and gothic. 𝕗𝚛𝚎𝚎𝐰𝗲𝗯𝗻𝚘𝚟𝚎𝗹.𝕔𝐨𝕞

And reeked of bad intentions.

I was lying on a gothic queen sized bed with dark red bedsheets, a duvet that looked like it’s seen better days and silk black curtains draping from every corner of the bed until it gave it a majestic 1900s look.

I sat up quickly, intending to check my surroundings only to cry out when heavy metals pressed into my skin.

My eyes widened then, not because I was scared— oh, yes I was scared— but also because I realized then and there that there were heavy metal cuffs clasped around my wrists... and ankles, now that I think of it.

The whole setting looked like something out of a shrine... like a bondage ritual. I tensed up just as my heart dropped into my stomach, and tears, incessant tears leaked out of my eyes like water on a fountain.

"Help!" I cried out in a shaky voice, my body violently trembling with each passing second that I spent locked up in here and chained to the bed. "Somebody help!" I tried again, but when no one responded, I began to fear for my life.

Panic crept up my heart, making my skin tingle, and I knew that naturally, I should’ve prayed. Like any normal werewolf, this was the perfect opportunity to pray to the moon goddess. But for some reason, I couldn’t bring myself to utter the words, not when it was the same moon goddess that had watched me get abused all my life. Not when she watched silently after everything I’ve been through.

My head whipped to the side when I heard the sound of approaching footsteps, and just then, the door creaked open, only to reveal...

"Caelum?" My voice was hoarse, partly because I was dehydrated... and partly because I’d been screaming for the past few minutes.

I was stunned. Stunned out of my mind and worried. Worried because out of the triplets, I knew that he hated me the most. He was the one most wrapped around Chalice’s fingers and would do anything, no matter how crazy it is, to see her happy.

Which includes kidnapping me.

"Caelum what is this? Let me go... release me!"

"Isn’t this what you’ve always wanted, Leilani?" He drawled softly, but I couldn’t help but notice how different he sounded... and how maniacal he looked in that low rise trouser and an exposed toned chest. Tattoos lined his skin so beautifully but from here, I couldn’t see what it was exactly— not like I cared.

I shook my head at his question.

"Haven’t you always wanted to be in my bed? In our bed? Isn’t that why you kissed Frostclaw last night? To make us jealous and force us to react? Now we’re reacting!"

"Let me go!" I spat through gritted teeth, only to clamp my mouth shut when he began to laugh.

"Oh no, you kitten, we wouldn’t... we’re here to play your games. You’ve hurt Chalice in the worst possible way, and so we’ll hurt you too. We’ll break you, ruin you... until you’re too damaged for anyone else..."

"And until the only names you have your fucking lips are ours!"

My head spun as more voices sounded around us, and it wasn’t until then that I noticed Zevran and Kael leaning on opposite walls of the room, both looking as half naked as Caelum, and both sporting that maniacal look on their faces plus almost matching tattoos.

My heart raced in my chest, and sweat, sweat borne out of panic dripped from my skin, making me clammy and sticky. I spat; "What is happening?"

How did I get here when only moments ago, I’d been in my house?

With my heart beating wildly against my chest and my skin slick with sweat, I squeezed my eyes shut and dropped my voice, whilst hoping that if I sounded pitiful enough, they’d let me go.

Get your fucking self together!
