I can’t believe my ears. My widened eyes blink at her, ensuring I am not trapped in a nightmare.
What is she planning on doing, kill him? Kill her own son? The one she carried for nine months.
And what does she an by triplets? Is Alnilam Natianu’s son? That can’t be. He can’t co from two of the most evil people alive.
Alnilam is too pure for that. With tears shining in my eyes, the ones I am trying to control but unable to, I ask.
"What do you an by triplets?" The agonising pain has now travelled up to my arm.
"You would think I let that filthy Orion fill up with his disgusting sen and not go to my real mate straight away? I took potions so if I beca pregnant with Orion’s child, I would be with Natianu too. A desperate asure that I could tolerate Orion’s child. Got lucky at Alnilam’s ti, not so with Alnitak and Mintaka."
This is fucked up. This shaless woman not only forced Queen Adrnia to have sex with her forr lover and have a double pregnancy, but she also did the sa to herself. She must have taken special potions to prepare her body for double pregnancies. The length this woman has gone to just fulfil her plans is insane.
Not only was she jealous of Queen Adrnia’s double pregnancy she was also disgusted by King Orion.
It also explains why Alnilam and B-Twins are of the sa age. They are half-siblings. This is going to break Alnilam. He hates them from his core and now to discover he is related to them, has shared a womb with them is going to be devastating for him.
"How can a mother differentiate between her children like that? Alnilam is your firstborn."
Her wrinkly nose reveals how much she dislikes him.
"They are a ans to an end for . Especially Alnilam. And I am so tired of pretending to care for him. I wanted to break him to an extent that he beca unfit to be the heir. Just like the firstborn over there, rely reduced to being my servant."
My grieved eyes lift towards my mate. He is watching . Only emotions flicker in his eyes, his face is a set mask. It terrifies to imagine what I will unfold once the mask shatters, revealing his true self.
I know nothing of the pure Saiph underneath: the horrors he must have been made to endure, the torture, the trauma he carries. The things he was made to do on her orders.
He only said he had no choice but to sleep with Bellatrix. It now makes sense why he had no choice. She is the beloved daughter of this evil being. The way they must have forced him into this shatters in ways I don’t think I will ever recover from.
"Saiph!" I softly and painfully call him again, trying to reach him. Our bond has to rise above whatever curse she has him under. We are stronger than this.
He doesn’t move, his eyes plead and the desperation makes every cell in my body ache.
"You can fight this, Saiph. Please," I beg.
Bond in my chest connecting him to painfully squirms and I see hints of emotions on his face. Dread is registered there, as I heave, my heart painfully beating for him, for his touch.
His elongated shadows behind him have this lancholic feel to them as if desperate to reach . I know Rigel’s shadow is hiding there with him, maybe holding onto so sanity, feeding into him.
"He can’t. I killed most of the sentints and emotions he had. Grood him since childhood and even killed his wolf spirit so no one will connect him to Orion. It’s his sickening magic I couldn’t get rid of..."
Her words alight my world on fire. My head snaps in her direction. Rage rising like a serpent from .
"You bitch!" My body strains painfully against the chains holding back. I want to rip my hand off the floor and strangle her.
It would be quite a sight to snuff out that light of hers.
Saiph had a wolf? She killed his wolf? It’s like killing the other half of you. No wonder he is always so empty and blank. Struggles with emotions. Struggles with feelings. Seeks out, sleeps on my chest.
Her head arrogantly tilts at , her gaze amusedly takes in.
"What are you going to do about it? There is nothing you can do but helplessly watch as I tear away the last of his dignity." The sinister grin she offers makes my soul tremble. She begins to walk towards where Saiph is standing right next to the closed door.
My spirit is shaken to its core.
"No, no. Hurt , let him go. Please." I don’t think I can survive seeing Saiph get tortured in front of . Part of my heart died when I saw Rigel go through that.
Not Saiph too.
But she doesn’t heed my words. Approaching the door she pulls it open and calls in a sweet sugary voice. Exactly the one she used with her sons in front of others. "Bella, dear. You can co in now."
What in the fresh hell now?
To my utter horror, Bellatrix walks in looking like a sin from hell. Long black heels. Wearing a silver dress so sheer that nothing has been left to imagination. There is nothing underneath. It’s like walking fully nude. Her long hair is open, waving behind her as she walks.
The way I hate this woman. She is a rapist and I detest rapists more than anything.
Her amused gaze finds .
She flicks her hair back with a wink. "Aww, if it isn’t the Omnifae. Not looking very Omni right now," she teases walking straight over to where a very stiff Saiph is standing.
"My Saiphy! How I have missed you." She places her filthy hands on his chest and evocatively slides it down.
"Get the fuxk away from my mate," I snarl at her. My whole body is taut against these chains but she pays no heed.
Instead, she is enjoying this.
Her mother on the other hand flicks her pointer finger at and the remains of Alnilam’s hair tightens against my throat, strangling again.
"Just shut up and watch." She takes a leisurely step forward while I try to pry away the choking cord. "If you try to close your eyes, I will hurt him until his throat gives way from screaming," she rcilessly says.
The bond between Saiph and agonisingly aches. The unbearable pain makes double over.
I struggle to breathe while my mate anguishedly watches . A patch of darkness I sense on his neck and rage descends on him. He turns his enraged eyes on Bellatrix and firmly says, "No." Pushing her away with an invisible force.
She staggers on the heels she has donned. That malevolent smile disappears from her face, taken by a surprised one.
"What did you just say to ?" She asks, lifting her hands, letting the air turn murky and dense around her.
Her powers are similar to her mother and Alnitak. Both of them can conjure mists which can choke people.
She hurls a vortex of darkened wind at him but Saiph has a barrier around him which sponges her powers off.
"What the hell?" She squeaks but I know it’s part of Rigel’s shadows which have protected him and taken the hit. How much of it has survived is beyond .
"Maybe he needs an incentive to be a good dog. Get on your knees or I will squeeze the life out of her," Eslda warns, tightening the coil around .
My air supply is totally cut off, I wheeze, my eyes refusing to move from Saiph.
"Amaia!" His voice bleeds with his anguish and tornt. I bleed with him.
Like a man reduced to ruins with shadows of helplessness clinging to his body, he drops to his knees in slow motion.
The room spins for . The light in this room feels tired of the atrocities that had happened and were about to happen.
The shadows bleed and darkness awakens, the one which eats away the light.
It’s haunting, it’s hungry. It feeds on the innocent, sponges off whatever hope is left.
Everything in this room bears witness to what follows. The bottles on the shelves. The books on the wall and the two demons who deliberately trampled on the sacred mate bond.
It eats away like termites in a log, hollowing out. Corrodes my soul like acid on skin.
They make witness my mate’s desecration, humiliation and my soul bleeds there on the floor with my hand and heart.
