Preface

Rough fabric of the ropes rubbed against my hands, creating what would be red burns along my wrist. The blind fold that covered my eyes felt silky but tight, making sure that I couldn't see a thing. I could feel the cold hard tile beneath me, going straight through my thin pajama pants, giving me goose bumps. I could hear the distress mumbles of my friends beside me, and I all so wanted to tell her it'll be alright. The tick duck tape placed over my mouth made that impossible. Not only that, but even though I wanted to comfort my friend, I couldn't…I couldn't because I was scared. I had let my friends down for I had told them that everything was going to be alright. And yet…I don't even know anymore.

Tears pored from my eyes and soaked up into the blind fold, sobs erupted inside me making my shoulder shake and my body trembled. I gave a loud scream, rolling onto my side and screamed over and over. Anger surged through my vines, pumping energy into my heart. I struggled with my restraints, hoping and praying for at least one hand to slip out. My right hand was so close! It was only half way out, so close, almost. I got it! It's out!

My hand immediately went to my blind fold, and I ripped it off; my eyes only met black darkness. I tugged off the duck tape, making me cry out a little. Ignoring the burning pain on my lips, I untied my feet. The rough ropes were now off and I could feel my whole body give a sigh. But—it was not over—I still needed to help my friends.

Listening carefully for where my friends could be, I crawled on the cold tile, searching for them. Suddenly my hand touched something soft, it felt like skin, and the screams that came from it told me it was Lexie.

"Shh! It's me Lexie, its Alyne," I whispered to her. She only whimpered and started to struggle with her ropes. "No! Don't move I'll get you out!" I cried, fearing that the ropes will burn into her skin.

Quickly, I undid the knot that tied the ropes together. Once her hands were free then took her blind fold off and duck tape. "Alyne," she whispered with fright. "I'm so scared!" she cried.

"Shh, I know lex, I know," I tried calming her without success. I placed my hand on her shoulder, "Where are the others?"

Her body begins to shake, so I'm guessing she was shaking her head. "They are not in the same room, but I think they are next door—I can hear them."

Straining my ears, I could faintly hear the cries of Bianka and Jasmine to my right. "Your right," I mumbled. "We need to get out of here, get into there and then get the hell out of this hell whole!"

But before we could stand, the dark, smooth and maculae voice I feared for years came from a corner in this dark room. "Oh my heart, don't even try, for you belong to me now." He was right by me now, giving shivers down my spine.

"I don't belong to anyone!" I spat into the darkness.

His dark chuckle echoed through out the room, "We'll see about that after I'm done with you. Now, let join together in our room."

His huge hand grasped mine and he pulled me into him. I gave a cry of protest as I felt him pull me along with him. "Alyne!" Lexie screamed, trying to get to me. But it was no use; we were already out of the room and zipping down the hall into another room in inhuman speed.

He laid my shaking body on a silky bed, and then covered his cold stone body with mine. "Tonight you'll fall in love," he cooed, sending shivers throughout my body.

"Not to you," I hissed.

"We'll see."

He began to kiss my neck softly, making his way up to my cheek. I wanted to yell stop, but it seemed my lips were sealed tight shut. I settled with a whimper instead.

"Shh, my heart it'll be alright."

Then I felt him bite down gently, braking the skin too aloud him to lap at the blood that pored from the wound.

All I could do was let him feed, my whole body was under a trance, not allowing to move as he used me.

Me and my friends were kidnapped at the age of 18 and were to be the mates of four powerful rulers.

There was nothing we could do for we were four powerless humans.

And it all started with my math homework.
