Chapter 16 - Elena
The silver chains weakened Elena further and further by the minute. The biting, burning pain of it was excruciating. And soon, she could not hold her head up, for the aching in her neck from doing so was too much too bear.
Leaning back against the pillar, she breathed only a half-breath of relief. It took some of the agony away, barely.
What it didnât take away was the horrid feeling in her gut that something was about to go terribly, terribly wrongâthat somehow, though she hadnât realized she had it in the first place, she was going to lose everything. Again.
She couldnât go through that, not again, not now that she had felt the sheer heartbreaking agony of being ripped from not only her mate but also the very last threads she had to him.
Against her eyelids she saw all the horrid things that might happen. Might she open her eyes to find blood pooling beneath her, feeling the agony of losing yet another child, one she hadnât even realized she was carrying? Somehow, that made it even more difficult a thought. She hadnât even had the time to connect, to learn what their flutterings in her belly felt like or feel the way they kicked when she was trying to rest.
The images cut her deep, and she tried to open her eyes to keep them from her mind. But eventually they closed again. And then she saw yet more terrible things. She could practically hear Hansonâs dying screams as Christopher got his hands on him, dragging him before her just so that he could torture her with his death before doing whatever it was he wanted to do with her.
Then there was the rest of the pack. What was he going to do to them if she didnât somehow figure out a way of freeing herself to warn them? What would he do to Eddie, to Jack, to Bonnie? There were children in Nightstar, so many children. What would he do to them?
Christopher didnât seem like the kind of man to let another packâs children live just because they were children. He had already talked of killing the one in her belly. Killing living, breathing children would be even easier than that for him, though a well-aimed blow to her stomach might well do the job.
Bile rose in her throat just at the thought of it. She wriggled at the need to escape only to feel the fresh biting of the chains as they moved.
âFuck!â she growled through gritted teeth.
âPsst!â
Elena froze. What the fuck was that?
Her ears pricked.
âPsst!â
When it came again, she somehow managed to find the strength to move her head, swift as a snake, up to the hayloft.
There, clutching on with his hands, head hanging over the edge, was Eddie. Elena blinked, her eyes just as sore as the rest of her body, unable to believe what she was seeing.
âWhat the fuck are you playing at?â she hissed up at him, her eyes darting to the barn door, ears straining to listen for the guards outside.
