Chapter thirty-eight ( The physical pain)

Third Person's Pov:

Holding her gown a bit high, Mira kept running. She needed to run far away from Derrick, she needed to keep her sanity with a throbbing heart she kept running with no direction or destination. Her plan tonight was to avoid Derrick and Nicholas but looks like luck wasn't on her side, meeting Derrick at the river bank she concluded on rejecting her but ended up almost kissing him. And now here she is running to no way, how was she supposed to cope with this whole thing? She knew that her life was about to take a turn, it was about to take another path, and this path fucking scares the shit out of her because it is going to be her destruction if care is not taken. With faint breathing, she kept running till she bumps into something. Her heading hits a hard surface.

"Ouch…..!!" She groans in pain when running on the spot.

"What the…….!!" A male voice growls in anger, that's when it dawns on her. She even thought that she bumped into something without knowing that it was indeed someone and something, the voice looks familiar and from the person's tone, he sounds angry.

"Are you dumb or mute……?" The voice snarled at her, causing her to shrink back in fear. She realized the owner of the voice and her whole was seeing trembling and shuddering in fear. She refuses to lift her hand as she knows the outcome.

"So…….for…… her lips quiver as the words refuse to come out in fear, she is panicking and she looks afraid.

"So…..what?" Have you lost it?" He snapped at her, she suddenly flinched back with her head still cast down.

"Just let it slide……" Another voice said. She also knew that voice was Lucien, telling Nicholas to let it slide and she knew that Nicholas was not going to let that slide but she prayed he would let it go before he found out who she was.

"Slide……!! ARE YOU JOKING RIGHT NOW?" He asked in utter disbelief.

"Yes, I know that you are angry but he has to let it go before someone walks onto us, and besides I am sure that she is just an omega," Lucien muttered, he thought that I am an omega. I just thank the moon goddess that they didn't notice my aura.

"Even if she was an omega that doesn't justify what she did…….. She just bumps into her Alpha without apologizing," Nicholas with anger visible in his tone declares.

"I…. I… am sorry," She sputtered, she just hoped that he wouldn't notice her voice. Still shaking like a chicken wing, she fidgets with her nails when casting her head down to avoid him noticing her. Her hair was covering half of her face, it loosened during her run which she was grateful for because if not he will know that it was her. She took a step back. She just prays that the mate bond doesn't implicate me.

"You can now go….." Lucien said, taking her by surprise, she thanked the moon goddess.

"Thanks….." She mumbled before turning to leave but she was yanked back with force. Her body felt electric sparkles twinkle on her skin where the hand was roughly holding her.

"You think that I am stupid that I can't recognize you…….right?" He snarled as he roughly lifted her chin, Lucien staggered back in surprise. With Nicholas's eyes glaring dangerously at her. She was twitching and shaking in panic and terror.

"Luna……." Lucien mumbled with his head cast down in submission, Mira had no time to acknowledge him as she was struggling to free herself from Nicholas's rough grip on her chin.

"How dare you bump into me……?" He growled hazardously, Mira jerked up suddenly as tears got stuck in the corner of her eyes, she feared the outcome. She seriously fears this monster in front of her, this demon is her worst nightmare.

"Nicholas, please you are hurting me," she pleaded as a drop of tears trailed down her cheeks.

"Haha…..!!" He laughs out dangerously, tightening his grip on her chin and letting out an evil smile. Gritting her teeth in pain, Mira pleaded to Nicholas as raw hurt flickered in her eyes. She knew that the place could be sore and full of bruises once Nicholas lets go of her because of the way that it hurts her.

"What did you do this time? Where are you coming out, running?" He suspiciously asked her with a narrowed eyebrow. She couldn't tell him that she was with his brother, that would be the worst. Her head ran in different directions for a possible excuse but none was found as she felt worthless and unsettled.

"I am talking to you, idiot……!!" He angrily snapped at her.

"Ye….yes….. I mean…" with a troubled look and fear, Mira stuttered.

"Are you stupid? I asked you a question, you moron," Nicholas lashed out at her.

"Who even made you my wife, you weak thing," he madly glared at her. Mira opened her mouth to speak but a sob escaped her throat, her heart twisted at Nicholas with each word no matter how much she tried to fight back the tears kept streaming down her face.

"Remember that I asked you a question," He groans in frustration.

"You are wasting my time……" he yelled, pushing her down her cheeks and colliding with a stinging slap from Nicholas.

"Haa…..!!" She cried out as she lost her balance and fell to the floor. Lucien tries rushing toward her but Nicholas's angry gaze stops him and makes him stand in one spot.

"Where did you go…..?" Taking a predator step towards her he asked.

"I was afraid of staying in the dark…." The words slipped out of her lips before she knew it, Ouch, is this the only lie that she could come up with? She is sure that they will notice that she was lying because Lucien looked at her like **what the hell was that***kind of look. She hates herself for being this weak and vulnerable in front of Nicholas, it makes her feel worthless and shameful.

"Haha……. How can a wolf be afraid of the dark, you are indeed a misfortune," he surprisingly muttered. The word sharply pierced her heart more than his physical abuses on her, she fought back the tears but they kept flowing down. Starting at Nicholas she kept biting her lower lips to know if she could control her sobs for she noticed that her pain and agony gives Nicholas pleasure and satisfaction and she wanted to stop that but no matter how much she tries, she couldn't control her emotions. She wanted Nicholas to see her for who she was, she wanted him to acknowledge her but hell no she was a piece of trash in front of him. A mistake that the moon goddess made, a misfortune before she knew she was sobbing on the floor.

"I still don't know how you were able to charm my family into loving you…." He let out a wicked laugh. What does he mean? That his family loves me, doesn't that even mean Derrick?" she asked herself but her moment was interrupted by Nicholas's words.

Leaning a bit down Nicholas whispered into her ear "I will make your stay a living hell, I will make all your loved ones including my family members dislike you….. I will torment you till you couldn't take it anymore and die,"

"Nicholas, the Alpha wants to see you…..is important," Lucien instantly announced like he wanted to drag him out of this place as he glances at me with pity and **I am sorry ***kind of look. Straightening himself, he forcefully and strongly hits my ribs before leaving the place.

"Haa…..!!! Oh! My God," I cried out as I heard a bone crack.
