Chapter 3 ~ Next morning

Olivia's P.O.V

My eyes fluttered open and I slowly sat up, confused, as I didn't recognise my surroundings. I'm sat in a huge fluffy bed, nowhere near as comfortable as mine and my head is throbbing in pain.

Then it hit me. Yesterday's events replayed in my mind and I instantly felt sick. How could he do that?

My mate! The one person in the world who is supposed to love me, protect me, cherish me, and instead he raped me!

That wasn't even the worst part. He forcefully marked me! Marking someone is meant to be a symbol of your love for a person as you claim them as yours forever.

If my mate doesn't even want me, why would anyone else? After my family died, I knew that I would be all right because somehow out there was a man who would love and take care of me for the rest of my life. Now I don't even have that. 

I quickly pulled the satin sheets off my bruised body and climbed out of the huge bed, instantly regretting the sudden movement, as a jolt of pain shot through my body.

I limped over to the main door, but obviously it was locked. I tried to channel Aria to increase my strength but she was still weak and hurt from last night.

My eyes flicker to the right and I notice a huge glass door. I moved closer towards it and figure out that it leads to a beautiful balcony, showcasing the amazing view.

I wondered if that could be my escape route, but then remember that the room was located on the fifth or sixth floor and even in wolf form there was no way I could land the jump. I would very much rather be trapped with my psychotic mate, than paralysed for the rest of my life.

I walked across the room to a door I assumed to be the bathroom. I opened it and observed the beautiful features. I never thought a bathroom could look so good, but this proves me wrong.

There was a large jacuzzi tub in the corner of the room and a huge glass shower in the middle, big enough to fit ten people. There were two sinks one on either side of the shower and a toilet to the right when you walk in.

I looked into the mirror and could hardly recognise myself.

My once beautiful silky hair has turned greasy and flat, my eyes were tear stained and had black mascara smudged underneath my eyes.

My neck was forever scarred, with a mark the shape of a large wolf and the name Lex scribed underneath. The writing was in black making it look like a ink tattoo whilst the wolf was bright red and stained with blood, probably from the fact that it was forced and not consensual.   

Lex. I guess that was his name and it seemed like a fitting name for him. The name of the man who was destined for me, the man who abused me. I slowly trace the outline of the wolf and continue to stare at my inhuman appearance. My thoughts were interrupted by a sudden knock on the door.

I froze, thinking it may be Lex, but then I realise that he would probably storm in and the knock sounded so soft and fragile. I opened it cautiously, and it revealed a girl around my age carrying clothes, a towel and some toiletries.

She had bleach blonde hair that fell to her shoulders and light blue eyes. She was quite small, around my size, and had a huge bright smile across her face.  

"Hi! I'm Kylie. The alpha asked me to bring you these and tell you that after you get ready, to meet him in his office which is just down the hall, last door at the end." She spoke in such a peppy tone that it reminded me of Casey and I instantly felt at a pang of sadness as I remembered her. I noticed how her smile faded as she took in my appearance, her eyes lingering on the big red mark, on my neck.
