    Chapter 0069


    | wake up, still handcuffed to the bed. This is the third time I’ve woken and each time, I’m getting weaker and weaker.


    I''ve only heard from Artemis once. She let me know that Eli is pumping us full of his venom each time he marks us. Apparently,


    he’s hoping that even though I’m not 18, with enough venom, he can push the mate bond on me. So far, it hasn’t worked. But


    that’s mostly because Artemis is saving her strength to burn off the venom each time he tries to mark us.


    | take inventory of my surroundings. I’m in yet another shirt. There is a water bottle and a te of food on the table beside me.


    My stomach grumbles. | haven’t caten much but | need the water more.


    My shoulders are aching from being in this position for what must be a week or more. | shift around, pushing myself toward the


    headboard trying to move my shoulders out of this strained position..


    I''m finally able to sit up and give my shoulders a much needed release from the pull of being over my head for so long. The ache


    is so strong it feels like | have no strength in my


    presence, she all. |


    try to reach out to Artemis and while | can feel her


    silent.


    The door opens and Elies in. He looks at his watch. “You are nothing if not prompt. Right on time. You’ve been out two days


    again.”


    “How long do you n to keep me a prisoner, Beta?”


    He snarls at me. “Alpha.”


    | make a point of sniffing the air. “Nope. | still don’t smell Alpha on you.


    He sneers as me. “Since | have no idea how long it will be until your birthday, I’ll just have to keep giving you my venom. I’ve


    heard that with enough venom andpleting the mating process, you can make an underage wolf ept the mate bond.”


    “You''re disgusting, you know that?”N?velDrama.Org owns all ? content.


    He begins walking over to me. “Am 1, mate?” He stresses the word again.


    He reaches down and takes the te of food. “Time to eat.” He picks up pieces of food and attempts to hand feed me.


    | turn my face away. “Not hungry.”

    He grabs my chin and pulls my face around to his. “Of course you are. You''ve barely eaten all week. Eat!” He barks it at me and


    attempts to put amand behind it.


    I snort at his feeble attempt as themand rolls off me like water over rocks. “I will ept nothing that you to give me. Or


    should | say, force on me.” | re at him as his hand squeezes my chin even tighter.


    “Fine! Then we''ll just keep doing it this way until you are too weak and your body final epts my mate mark.” In one quick


    movement, his hand grabs my hair and yanks my head to the side. He ms his canines into my neck, milking them into my


    body pushing more and more venom into my system.


    I scream as the pain bes overwhelming. He pulls his canines out, only to sink them in again and continues to milk the


    punctures like humans do to snakes to collect their venom. | feel Artemis push forward to try tobat the venom in our system


    as the world goes dark again.


    In my dazed state, | hear what sounds like a battle. Screams, crashing, things breaking. | can’t tell if it’s real or if I’m dreaming. |


    fade in and out until the sounds be so loud that | realize there really is a battle going on outside my


    room.


    | try to say something, anything, but my body will not work. My head feels full of cotton, and | can’t think clearly. My body feels


    paralyzed, or maybe | just can’t feel that it’s moving. I’m not sure.


    | hear a loud crash that sounds close. Snarling and fighting. It sounds like wolves. tearing each other apart. | should be in this


    fight. I''m a Guardian, that’s my job, my life. But | still can’t make myself get up. | can’t even open my eyes.
