My face was slapped to the side, and I must say that slap was delivered with the viciousness of a betrayed woman.
It was so heavy that the swelling that hadn’t gone down yet puffed up again.
I turned my face slowly to face Innocent. I didn’t turn hysterical. That never helped. I didn’t shout. No one would co anyway.
Since Innocent was there, soone else must be at the door looking out for any intruders.
"I really don’t know what you are talking about. Mike and I never even had any alone ti together. What could I have going on with the future alpha as a slave?" I said this to let Innocent know that I knew my place in the pack and there was no need for her to be so calculative with .
I wanted her to understand that I was not a threat to her in any way. After all, the viciousness of this woman knew no boundaries.
However, that one statent seed to trigger her anger instead.
The next thing I knew, heavy blows were landing on my body and this ti, she didn’t hit my face, she was punching on my sides and stomach.
All this while I was still lying down on the small, narrow hospital bed.
When the third punch landed, I heard the crack of bones breaking. I could tell that my ribs had been broken.
The pain sent spasms throughout my body and I opened my mouth to scream. But the next second, a dirty rag was stuffed into my wide open mouth.
It seed that Innocent had co fully prepared.
"How dare you contradict ? How could you flaunt here calling Mike by his na, you slut? Today, I will teach you what happens when you covet what isn’t yours. You are lucky, killing directly is forbidden, otherwise it would be your cold corpse already lying on this bed." Innocent kept ranting while still delivering blow after blow.
I struggled to get up to a sitting position, but with my bones broken, even the smallest movent would trigger pain that went through every nerve in my body.
I was in so much pain that I couldn’t even utter a word in my defense anymore.
In fact, it looked like Innocent never intended to let defend myself. She simply wanted to vent her anger.
I struggled to lift my hand and took the dirty rag out of my mouth.
"I..have...not...thing...to...do...with...Mik....Alpha .....alpha Mike." I forced myself to finally get these few words out of my mouth with much difficulty, but they made no difference to Innocent.
"Whether there is sothing going on between you and Mikey or not isn’t for you to decide. If I say there is sothing going on then there is sothing going on. And if I ever see you within ten feet of him again, I swear to the moon goddess I will make you disappear. No matter what it takes." Innocent was seriously pissed this ti.
Yet, I had no idea what I had done. She claid that Mike was calling my na while making love to her, but what did that have to do with ?
I wasn’t the one calling out nas while in the throes of passion. Yet the bla fell on .
At that mont, I wanted so much to reject Mike. But I knew that I couldn’t. If I did that, he would find out that I knew about the mate bond. Then he could openly take advantage of .
But most importantly, admitting that I could feel the mate bond might expose the fact that I have awakened my wolf and then Lizzie wouldn’t be able to hide anymore.
I couldn’t take such a risk.
So I endured all the beating from Innocent like I was taking bitter dicine.
By now, I had been beaten so much that blood was flowing from the corner of my mouth. A clear indication of internal injuries, yet Innocent seed to be possessed and another punch landed on my side again. This one was so heavy that several cracks were heard and my body was lifted off the bed and flew towards the wall.
I was slamd against the wall, with my forehead hitting the concrete wall so hard that it split open.
My head buzzed and blood flowed even faster as my breathing slowed down.
My mind beca fuzzy and the sound of Innocent speaking beca distant. I knew I was losing consciousness and it wasn’t advisable but I couldn’t help myself.
I had several broken ribs, severe internal injuries, and a broken head.
The pain was not sothing I had experienced before. I thought that since it wasn’t the first ti I was getting such a beating and it wasn’t the first ti I was nursing broken bones, I should already be used to the pain.
But for so reason, the pain I was experiencing was multiplied. It should been the poison that was still in my blood.
It might have been activated to flow faster due to the bleeding.
Just as I was about to completely pass out, I heard a voice that sounded faint, but I knew it was actually louder than that saying, "The bird has landed."
As if a switch had been pressed, Innocent stopped raging. A punch that was following to the wall stopped midair and her palm opened.
She reached out to as if to help but I wanted to scoot a little further from that hand. Unfortunately, I was already pressed against the wall. Moreover, I couldn’t move an inch even if I had the space because of how much pain I was in.
Then the door was pushed open and two sets of footsteps walked into the room.
Through my blurry vision, I could barely make out the silhouettes of the two people, but I knew who they were imdiately.
One of them was of course, my fated mate and the other was my supposed friend.
It was easy to identify them because I could feel the tingling under my skin when Mike was close to .
As for Karl, I knew even though he was pretending, he was the only other person who would show concern towards .
