(Acacia)
I woke up from my sleep, which seems to be the only thing I have been doing lately. Nashton slammed the cell gate open which resulted in a loud bang which frightened me but I tried my best to not show it.
"Seems as if you're lucky, Alpha Elio wants you out of here." My eyes became wide at the thought of leaving my prison.
"Don't celebrate too early, I'm still being placed on guard duty and so is Chase. We will make sure you won't escape if that's what you're thinking." It did cross my mind yes, but he wasn't going to know that. I was just happy that I would leave here. I glanced at my buckets and shivered from disgust as I thought about what I did in them. It's not like I had any other choice, but it's still disgusting.
"You are in desperate need of a good shower, you smell like s**t and piss." Nashton growled, I wanted to lower my head from shame, but I didn't.
"If you hadn't kidnapped me, you wouldn't have to deal with the smell. It's a punishment for you, pretty boy." He growled and pushed me against the wall, just as we walked out.
"Be thankful that you're with pup because I wouldn't hesitate to kill you.'" he didn't scare me and it seems as if he knew it. Something flashed in his eyes as he continued to glare at me. For a moment I thought I saw them softened a bit, but I must be mistaken.
"I'd like to see you try." I know that I shouldn't be pushing his buttons because of the way he is, but that didn't stop me. I wanted him to see that I wasn't a coward as they thought of me.
"Get a move on, Alpha Elio is waiting for you at the top of the stairs. He didn't want to come down here and faint." I groaned, getting annoyed that he wouldn't stop talking. Forget about me saying that he and I could be good friends, I'd rather be friends with the devil than him at any given time.
Once we arrived at the top of the stairs, I saw Elio and another man standing there. The man was so intimidating, that I couldn't stop myself from baring my neck. I heard a tsking sound coming from him, but I didn't say anything.
"She's still so skinny despite you feeding her. What the hell is your problem Elio!?" The man shouted, making me tremble. Why did it sound as if he cared about me? I shook away that thought as fast as it came. No one in this place cared about me so there was no sense in hoping right now.
"She doesn't get fat, but she eats like a pig. I'm still surprised though, because I thought that she would be Miss. Piggy by now." I couldn't stop myself from raising my head and glared at Elio which had him smirking. My eyes immediately went to the man standing next to him, making my mouth water just from his looks alone. I thought that Elio was handsome, but by goddess this man could out rank anyone at any time. I didn't realize that I was staring at him for so long, until I heard Elio clearing his throat while glaring at me.
I would have sworn that I saw jealousy written all over his face, but I must be mistaken. He hated me, so why would he be jealous that I was looking at another man?
"You are a lost cause Elio, that much I can guarantee. Come on darling, let's get you out of here." The man offered his hand and I took it, hesitating a bit because Elio's glare turned deadly. It seems as if these two are friends given their interaction with each other, so I didn't want to be the cause of their arguments. Maybe it was best if I stayed away from this man.
They took me to a room and I was shocked to see that it was a decent size with its own bathroom. Elio would have definitely given me a broom closet to sleep in if the man wasn't here to drill some sense into him.
I scoffed, making them turn to look at me. I felt my face getting hot as I wished I could dig a hole and bury myself into it. Way to go Acacia.
"This will be your room from now on. I'm not sure if Nashton told you this, but he and Chase will still be guarding your door just so you won't try to escape. Leah will continue serving you your meals and she will be getting you whatever you want. Dr. Andrew will be checking on you from time to time." I nodded my head at what Elio was saying. I wish that they could leave now so that I can take a decent shower and get some good rest. It seems like years since I've had any of those two.
"I'm Austin by the way." I smiled at Austin, happy that I got to know his name. He smiled back and damn I have literally died and went to heaven because of the dimples that I saw, Elio please don't kill me for gawking at another man when I know that you're my mate. It's not my fault that he doesn't feel our bond for him to know, so I can get away with eye f*****g anyone I want to for now at least.
"I'm Acacia, nice to meet you." I replied nervously. Austin smiled at me and nodded his head.
"Acacia? That's a nice and unique name." Austin said, making me blush. I looked at Elio and saw his fists clenched, as if he was getting ready to punch the lights out of Austin. If he wants to fight every guy who talks to me, then that's his problem not mine. By all means, go right ahead. That's a fight that I'd definitely pay to see.
