Blue Moon

Chapter 8

Struggle.

All she could do was struggle while lying on the car's surface being tied up like an animal. There was no hope left for her as the man in front squeezed out every single element of it. Her big doe-like eyes filled with tears could only plead at that moment. The journey was short-lived since she gained her consciousness back. After a certain minute, the car came to a halt. She understood the destination had arrived.

The door was opened by another man who bowed his head to show gratitude to Leonard. Placing his foot on the ground he fixed his suit. Iris was wondering for how long she was unconscious. As Alex and Leonard, both were back in their new expensive suit and none of them held any further features of a wolf.

"We have got a guest here. Hope she will like our treatment."

Leonard was the first person to speak while looking in front of the bunch of men standing there. Once they got a chance to speak, their face turned into something else. Most of them had lust in their eyes and some were having rage and hatred. All those different emotions were creating more turmoil in Iris's mind. Her breath became frantic looking at those beast-like structures.

"What are you waiting for? Get her out."

Leonard shouted and immediately two men came towards her. Knowing that her situation would be worse than death she tried to scoot back but the restraint wasn't doing good with her. She was yanked by her hair first and then thrown on the ground later after bringing out her petite from the car.

Rolling over to the feet of Leonard, she fell on her face wincing in pain.

"Ouch...." A painful hiss left her mouth when she felt how badly her body was hurt due to the harsh throw.

"Bring her to the basement." Leonard didn't even bother to spare a glance and walked away giving her a small wink.

Iris was contemplating the matter when she realized someone pulled the other end of the rope that was attached to her wrists.

"No... No...." She started crying hard just by imagining the situation but her words were replaced with her scream when one of the guards started pulling her to the ground. Those uneven surfaces made harsh contact with her skin, inflicting a large amount of pain. The soft skin of her back was getting ripped off each time the thin fabric ruptured because of the friction. There was no one to hear her scream let alone help her.

Her continuous cries died in the darkness. When she was finally dragged down to the basement, her back was already bleeding. Nothing but blood was dripping from various open wounds of her legs and back and arms. She was looking like a bloody mess.

Throwing her inside the basement they left her suffering while moving upwards. There was no source of light. The smelly small dark room was nothing but some spooky area from a horror film. Tears soaked her cheeks. Even lying on her back seemed painful and she chose to roll over to rest on her stomach.

"I have to find a way to escape." That was all Iris could think at that moment.

Barely a few minutes passed when the metal gate of the basement opened with a loud bang. All she could hear was menacing footsteps coming towards her. For a second she was trying to scoot back but the realization hit her hard when she noticed two shiny pairs of leather shoes near her face.

"Hello, Rogue. How are you?" The voice had taunt and threatening mixed with an awful proportion. She didn't understand why he called her Rogue or Rogue's daughter. All she knew about her father was good things. She had never heard such words or allegations against them. He pulled her up a little to make her sit on the ground. She was sweating and bleeding altogether. With such pain and disgusting allegations, her patience level just broke and she shouted on his face.

"I am not a Rogue. You are a monster... And sick......" Her words didn't get the opportunity to come out fully when her cheek met with a hard slap making her face turn in the opposite direction. What she felt afterward was a metallic taste in her mouth that indicated bleeding of her lips.

"You....." Leonard grabbed her jaw tightly making her lips protruded.

"You should call me Master from now on. You are a Rogue or rather a Rogue's daughter. The faster you accept that fact the lesser your tortures will be."

For a second Iris could only feel pain and humiliation. The amount of hatred he was carrying was more than anything she had ever seen in her life. Their eyes remained locked with each other for the next few seconds where nobody blinked.

"You won't look at my eyes or my face. Your head would always bow in front of me."

The next blow was more than that. Grabbing the jaw he thrashed her harshly on the floor after finishing his words. He didn't wait for her reply, rather just left her there in the dark with her hands and legs tied.

Hours passed, no one came and she wasn't even given a small portion of food or water. There was nothing left for her to do except crying her eyes out. Two days back her life was beautiful. Her dreams were all coming true with everything she had. Her father, her best friend, and along with that her boyfriend, everyone was perfectly knitted with her warmth of happiness. Just in a blink of an eye, everything was shattered. She didn't remember when her eyes got closed and she slept on the cold dirty floor with lots of pain.

The next moment she felt a gush of cold water on her body. Her already trembling form was not doing anything good and above all, l someone threw a bucket of ice-cold water on her. Jolting at her place she tried to sit upon the floor. Blinking her eyes few times she grabs the attention of those two men standing in front of her. They were looking quite similar more like twin brothers. One of them had a large tattoo on his left arm that was popping out from the shirt he was wearing.

"Get up b***h. Alpha has asked for your presence."

Iris tried to get up on her feet but the restraint on her wrists and legs were not supporting her much to perform the task. Looking at her struggling both the men started laughing, throwing some humiliating words at her. Even though she was in pain, their words didn't do any good with her mood. Seeing her failing a few times one of the men came towards her and yanked her by her hair. A painful hiss left her mouth followed by a harsh slap that landed on her cheek by another man.

"Stand still bitch." He growled and with a harsh pull, he removed those restraints from her feet and legs. She felt a little relieved knowing that the blood flow will be better in those body parts.

"Change your clothes and come quickly after getting freshen up. Alpha doesn't like dirty sluts."

They threw some things at her, including the clothes, while laughing at her helplessness. Even though she had enough insults, the word slut made her heart sink in the deepest pool of pain. Never in her life was she tagged like that. She was always respected by her friends, teachers, and others.

The man who was named Alpha or King Alpha Leonard was the first person who did such horrible things to her.

Crouching down a little she picked up those elements and looked for a place to take a shower. One of them understood her movements and also found that she was looking for a restroom.

Talking through their mind link one grabbed Iris's hand harshly and yanked her towards another direction. There was a small door present aside. Pushing herself inside the small restroom the man stood outside while passing her an ugly statement.

"If you take more than fifteen minutes, we won't mind dragging you out butt naked."

Iris shivered to hear such words while forcing herself lightning speed to finish her morning business. The moment her eyes landed on the mirror a silent gasp left her mouth seeing herself. There were eyebags, dark circles. Her eyes didn't have the glint that used to be. It took barely a day to drain out every single charm of her appearance turning her into a walking dead.

"Hurry up bitch." The second knock on the door broke her trance when she finished examining her state and stood under the shower. The cold water scratched her wounds more, making her wince and cry. She couldn't bear that pain anymore and sat on the floor hugging her knees to her chest.

"Dad....... Please....save me......" A silent cry left her mouth while taking her father's name. She was hurt and above all sh,e was shocked knowing the darkest truth of her family. Her father was not a mere human but the deadliest werewolf. What shocked her more was the existence of such a werewolf world. What she had read in books came out as a truthful event and she couldn't help but accept. Even though she was angry at her father for hiding such things, yet at that moment the only person she could think of was her father. She knew he would never allow someone to lay a finger on her but he was helpless yesterday. She shouldn't have returned to Seattle, no matter what.

"Are you coming out or do we need to come inside."

The growling was enough to push her up on her feet. She struggled a lot feeling enormous pain but decided to ignore that. All she needed to focus on was to run away from the situation and the monster's clutch. And she would do that by hook or crook.

Wearing the clothes given by them she came out from the restroom. She didn't even get the chance to dry her hair completely. As a result, little droplets of water were escaping her hair.

She gave a final look at her dress. It was more like a prisoner's cloth and the thin fabric made her body quite visible for the people watching her. Wrapping her hands around her petite she walked out with those two monsters. The moment their eyes landed on her, the beasts inside them growled ready to tear her apart. The only thing that was holding them was the Alpha's order of not touching her.

With every step, Iris felt the burning pain in her back and er places. Her body was severely aching but that order made her walk out of the dungeon. After spending a night in the dark when she finally came towards the main hall, the sunbeams of the day touched her. She felt the warmth that soothes her and also reduced some amount of her trembling. Though her inner self was screaming in fear, she tried to maintain a stoic expression in front of them. After a few minutes of walking, the, ey reached a big wooden door that had royalty on every single inch. Guards were standing beside the door making it look like something-security zone.

"Alpha Leonard, the rogue is here." One of those men who was bringing Iris up from the dungeon spoke with more hatred in his voice.

"Send her in."

A deep husky voice reached outside, making them push Iris through the door that was immediately opened after the Alpha's order. For a second Iris was about to turn around but the harsh push on her body made her slide through the door and fall on her knees.

Tears started breaking down her eyes as the pain shot through her body for the harsh fall. She dared not to look at the person sitting there or around the room where she was pushed. The sound of the closing door was the final alarm for her. Her form started trembling knowing that she was trapped in a place where the man held every single authority to do injustice with her.

She tried to stand up when a large growl rattled the room, making her stop at her action. She remained on her knees and brushed off the idea of getting up. She was thinking what would be coming next when his terrifying voice shattered her heart once more with those bitter words.

"Seth put the collar around her neck and bring the chain to me. I want my pet to crawl."
