Henry's POV.- It stuns me to meet her door open as I cautiously open the door to slide a tray of food inside before quickly shutting it. I return to my room where I deal with my naughty boner and roll up on my side on the bed. I feel so disgusted about myself. What sort of irrational behavior did I exhibit back there? Fuck! I wanna kill myself this instant. I fight with myself as I slap my palms on my face, groaning endlessly as the foul scene reiterates in my mind. I’ve messed up once again. The next day comes and none of us talk to the other. Not like I was expecting her to. Especially with the shuddering fear she regards me with when our eyes meet accidentally. I fear I might’ve done something worse on a psychological level to her I will regret for a long time. She outright refuses my offer to drive her back to her place, so I assign a chauffeur to do the task while I watch them drive off with forlorn, anger, and guilt alternating in my heart. Drew and Steven will be arriving s

Yumi's POV.- “It’s not your fault, Mom. You did what any mother would, and I don’t blame you. Henry is to blame for this and him alone. So please…don’t say that”. “Does Nyx know yet?” Adams cuts in. “No…no one. Just you all…I didn’t want to get the girls involved. It won’t go down nicely,” I reply solemnly and he stands up. “I have to leave. I’ll be back later, do take care.” He bids and takes his leave. This won’t be good, I know my brother. He’s going to call his Alpha friends and Henry won’t like what’s coming. “I’m sorry, but there’s nothing we can do to ease her pain. Unless her mate, the one inflicting this on her, quits what he’s doing…there’s nothing that can be done”. There goes the dreadful news from the doctor, and I know my end is near. If it were an ordinary wolf, it wouldn’t hurt this much. I will live through it, but…it’s an Alpha. And one out to punish and torment me. “It’s fine…thanks, doctor. I’ll…” My voice breaks and I know what’s following next. My cries su

Henry's POV.- Up all night once more, I’m so dim and dead right now as I remain sulking gloomily over my desk and groaning in pangs of hunger. Not until two people come storming into my cave and snatching my arms from beneath me. In alarm, I raise my head as my two best friends grin unpleasantly at me and pick me off the desk. They hurl me into my seat and Drew nods at Steven before letting go of my arm. Steven grabs it and they strap me to the chair while I struggle weakly in defiance. “H-hey!” They don’t pay attention to me and next I know, a whole bucket of lukewarm water comes drenching me from head to toe along with the chair. I cough out, underneath the continuous pour of water as I continue to struggle against the restraints holding me back, making them begin to snap. I lift my voice to shout at them but my head suddenly jerks back by a brute yank of my hair. “Steve, don’t pull so hard. He’s already beaten up much enough,” I hear Drew groan and Steven mutters a quick sorry

Yumi's POV.- ‘You will come to me…crawling on the floor and begging me to accept you, to take you over and over again till you can scream my name no more’. “AH!” I bolt up, off the bed with a scream, my hands flying to hold both sides of my head. I feel around it and notice there’s a bandage wrapped around it. “Ha…what h-happened?” I glance around and find no one. This is not my room, must be at the Pack doctor’s. I push the blankets off my body and tap my feet carefully on the cold floor. I’m so hungry and thirsty. Standing up, the door knob twists open and in walks a familiar figure. “I’ll just quickly check on her and I’ll come back. I’ve missed this baby for so long, you know”. He’s talking to someone outside the door and I pout. “When will you acknowledge the fact that I’m no longer a kid, huh, Moses?” Freeze. That’s what happens to him as his eyes enlarge so wide and so does his mouth while his neck slowly twists to bring him to face me properly. I cross my arms over my c

Henry's POV.- “The girl in question, where is she? I heard she declared rejection on you. How are you coping? Locked in and bawling your eyes out all day and night?” Henry chuckles humourlessly and I meet his gaze and show him a rueful smile. “Seems you’ve finally hit rock bottom. Good thing I’m here. I was gonna have Hatori tag along, but he couldn’t. His fiancée had to leave for South Korea sometime back,” He begins to say, walking towards the porch with me by his side. “Something about the adaptation of her novel into a W*****n series, so he’s been there with her.” He frowns, trying to recollect something. “What was the title again? Paper Hearts, was it?” “Hatori’s fiancée…is Yue Sama?” I ask with surprise. This is crazy. Henry nods with a smile. “They’ve been together for over five months and he’s been hoping to propose to her. The series is almost done so, probably after that.” “That’s that,” He dismisses. “Now, I’m here for you so let’s drop that”. I recede into silence a
