“I see you finally realize they are not coming for you. You deserve another reward” He toldas he unlocked

the chain from the bedpost. never releasing it from my

neck.

there is another layer. Yet another vile thing he has done. Leavingafraid of what he is going to do next. To

my surprise, he bringsto the table set for two. Where he chainsto the dining room table so that we can

have breakfast together.

| would have preferred to eat my breakfast on the floor like | did the other day. | have been out of it so much |

cannot remember how long ago. that was. Not that | am about to tell David, and | won't tell him | would have

preferred to eat away from him.

It’s funny how love however misguided it might be, can make you overlook certain things. The way this man eats

is disgusting, | honestly to goddess do not know how he can make so much sound while eating pancakes and

bacon. Glad to be getting smore food | just stare at my plate, quietly eating my food trying to drown out the

sounds of David's slurping and chewing.

Jason gives us both a mug of coffee, it's black and bitter, but since it

should help keepawake | gratefully accept it. Hannah would always just leave when she brought us over our

food. Givingthe chance to be alone whenever David would take a nap. And since he did that so often | felt

alone a lot. A fat better alternative than to be surrounded by wolves | hate.

Even though | knew | needed to get through to Jason, | was annoyed at the fact that he was still lingering here.

Especially now that the cramps. were back. Hindsight is twenty-twenty because, of course, it’s not a smart idea

to drink coffee when your stomach can hardly stand normal.

foods.

“David can you chainback to the bed again, | want to bathe myself,” | asked.

It was the truth for several reasons, | had more than my fill of being so close to both David and Jason. | had no

place to lay down but | had to deal with these stomach cramps to stop myself from vomiting. Because could not

afford to lose what little food he was giving me. And since decided to stick to my “compliant mate” behavior and

bathe and dress semi-cute. Now seemed like the perfect tto get said bath.

“It’s about tyou reek, and you should smell good for your mate,” David toldignoring the fact he always

reeked of old sweat..

Sometimes | dreamt of being able to tell him every single thing that has been on my mind for the past weeks.

Maybe I will get to when Griffin finally getsout of this joint. Because David was wrong, he figured the fact

that my rescue team had been so close toand yet did not find.

me, madelose all hope. He saw it as the reason for

reason for my better behavior now. Which suitedperfectly. It’s not like | could tell him | was earning meals, so

| could gain strength and help my only true mate getout of here. If | felt Griffin so close to me, he must have

felttoo. He would never give up on me, especially not when he could sense | was so close.

The best thing | could do was make up an excuse to go outside and leave another little hint. Closer to the

dungeon. | mean, | was not sure Griff had found the picture of us, but with how organized the search right above

us had seemed, it was very likely that he had. Even if they didn’t, it would still be a good idea forto leave

another hint. They had been close to us before, so the chance they would return was very likely.

Since | was still treading on thin ice, and I did not know if David actually had updated security, | needed to be a

little patient though: I should get in his good favor more. Find a way to hint at getting out more, instead of asking

him directly. Right now, | was doing a piss poor job of making David happy, as he loudly complained about the

fact that have been quiet. Not answering his question.

“I am sorry David and | know you have your reasons, but | am constantly hungry and feeling weak. And it makes

my mind feel like it is filled with cotton wool, | am hardly able to focus what did you ask?” | tried to keep my tone

light and submissive and not let the hatred seep through.

“I asked if you wanted to watch a movie withlike we used to, before you ran off and let sother wolf fill

your mind with lies. If you are so hungry, | will even get us a pizza to share. Like a date, since we're mates

| wanted to yell at him, that | did not run away, that he rejected me. How | would be eternally grateful to the

Moon Goddess that he did because it was because of him that | found Griffin. Who would never call a quiet night

in with fast food a date! Silent tears rolled down my cheek as | thought about the fact we never had our movie

night on the new couch we got for our living room.

Are you seriously crying because | asked you on a date” David growled as he yanked the chain pullingcloser

to him,

“N-n-n-no, of course not, | just go sad thinking about our past and everything that happened between us since

you rejected me. That being said, | love to watch a movie with you after | bathed” My lies, seemed to placate

David who muttered.

“If only you had given in that night, you would have givena reason to fight for you.”

At this point, it was comical to keep finding new lows in this man’s ability to be self-aware. All it did though was

help me, his utterly misplaced self-esteem made him so blind to the truth all around him that it was easy for me

to get away with a lot of shit. It was easier for him to believe | was on the brink of falling in love with him. That

even with him mistreating me, he would make a better mate than Griffin, that he never considered second

guessing what | was doing and the reasons. behind them.

“Ill cget you in an hour, so you better be ready by then” He warnedas he chainedback to the

bedpost.

His lazy ass was already getting tired of having to drag my chain around. Slowly an idea formed in my mind.

Cleaning clearly was the way to win his favor and with the current situation, | could never clean it all. And | was a

long way from him trustingenough to unchain me. Maybe | could just act like | understood his reasoning, all

while wearing him down.

As | was thinking this all over, | put in ssoap and turned on the taps to make myself a hot bath. The second

the water started pouring creating a noise, Jason and David started talking, seemingly unaware that I could

still hear them.

“I honestly do not get why you are taking this risk, using my sister as a puppet, you don’t know what the Prince

is going to do.“. The anger in Jason's voice was palpable.

I was a quiet as a mouse as | got in the tub because | needed to know what Hannah was going to do with Griffin
