Maya opened her eyes. She was feeling very groggy and her head hurt. She tried to touch her head,

but her hands were unable to move. Things started coming in focus a little and she realised that she

was not in her room. She was held in a dungeon like place. There was very little light coming in.

Maya tried to move, however she was unable to move even an inch. Panic began to set in as she

realised that she was tied up against the wall. She struggled against her bonds but to no avail. She let

herself rest against the wall and tried calling out to her family but Maya couldn't even hear her wolf.

Suddenly a laugh echoed in the darkness of the dungeon and Maya turned her head warily towards the

noise.

"I guess for a girl you are pretty smart. Most bitches don't realise that they have lost connection to their

wolves this early.", a man said. In the darkness, Maya was barely able to make out his silhouette.

"Who are you? Where am I?", Maya whimpered. Her head hurting with his voice.

"Me? I am Leandro, a rogue to the outside world. But for you my dear slave, you will call me Master.

And you my dear are in your new home. Do you like it?" Leandro asked with a tone of pure evil.

Maya was terrified but she was a Luna, she had Alpha blood in her. "Quiet." she hissed, "Let go of me

this instant."

Leandro simply chuckled and smacked Maya on her face. "You silly little bitch. I have suppressed your

wolf with silver. You will not be able to use your Alpha command on me. Now do as I say, for I am your

Master, your Lord and YOUR OWNER.", Leandro shouted at her while touching her breast. Maya

realised then that she was stripped of her clothes.

Maya quivered scared, "Stop this. Let me go. I don't belong here. I have a family. I have a mate."

"Some mate he must be if he auctioned you off in a bar" Leandro lied while running a hand up her

thighs. He had got that information from the other Alpha bitch. She seemed enthusiastic on giving out

details on how to torture her.

"No. No. You are lying." Maya denied.

"Am I? I guess.. You would know better.. Right?" Leandro asked his voice full of sarcasm. Maya

remembered Xander's words and realised that she was rejected.

A few tears made their way down her face. "Now, now my pet. Don't be sad. Who needs a true mate?

You have me. You will find that if you comply to my wishes, your life will be much easier. But if you

resist, then..." Leandro placed a silver knife against her skin and pushed on the blade, causing the

wound to sizzle. He burned a L shaped mark into the skin of her shoulder. Maya cried out in pain and

gritted her teeth.

Leandro leaned towards her to kiss her but she turned away and head butted him. Leandro stumbled

back, he looked at her with such loathing. He picked up a whip from the table laid nearby that was full

of different torture weapons.

"I tried to be lenient with you but you are not interested, are you? Well, let me try to convince you in a

different manner then." Leandro started hitting her with the whip in any which way. He was really angry

and that anger was giving way to rage. The whip bit into her thighs, her stomach, her hand. Once the

whip even hit her face leaving behind a long gash.

After 10 minutes of constant lashing, Maya's body was dripping with blood from different gashes. "Look

what you made me do." Leandro said in a petulant manner, "I wanted today to be a happy memory.

Now you reflect on your misdeeds and I will see you tomorrow. Good night my slave."

Maya understood that Leandro was a psychopath. She doubted that she would be able to escape here

alive. She thought of her family, of her pack. Maya sobbed for the mate that the Moon Goddess had

dealt her. 'Why Xander.. why did you betray me?', she lamented.

Maya tried calling to her wolf, only a weak whimper was heard from her. Maya prayed for help to the

Moon Goddess. Softly sobbing she fell asleep attached to the wall.

-------------------

Maya was woken up by the splash of cold water to her face. "You are awake my slave? Good. So what

have you thought about yesterday? Will you comply with me today?" Leandro asked.

"Not in a million years." Maya replied.

Leandro's face twitched, "Fine then bitch. Have your way." Leandro took out a carving knife and started

making cuts down her body. He would let the wounds heal and then he would start to retrace the

wounds. Maya tried holding back her cries, but she broke. She cried out in pain.

"Shut up." Leandro thundered "You asked for it. Now each day you will suffer. And trust me, I will find a

new way to make you suffer each day. Have to keep me from getting bored, haven't I?"

Maya just sobbed in response.

"What happened Mom?", asked Ken coming into the room with his father.

"Why don't you ask your murderer father?", taunted Xander.

"Xander", Ken said in warning.

"What are you talking about? Where is Maya?" Justin asked.

"Maya is fine... Till now... But she won't be for long.", Xander drawled as if bored.

"What have you done with her?" Justin asked angrily, "What kind of man are you? How could you say

such things about your mate?"

Xander replied with derision, "What kind of man are you? How could you kill your best friend? That's

what you said you were of my father. You had no problem killing him and his mate. You had no problem

attempting to kill his children. In comparison to you, at least I am letting your daughter stay alive."

"Who are you?" Justin asked warily. Nôvel(D)ra/ma.Org exclusive © material.

"I am Xander Wolfgang Lockhart, son of Marcus and Mary Lockhart." Xander announced.

Justin let go of his collar and stumbled back. He slumped down on the sofa.

"Dad...", Ken shouted. He rushed to Justin and kneeled before him, "What is he talking about? Please

tell me. Who is he? Dad what is wrong?"

"Speechless?", Xander smirked, pain in his eyes as he looked upon a murderer.

"Yes." Justin replied, "I am rendered speechless but not because of the reason you are thinking. We

tried to find the two of you so much. When there was no trace found, we thought you both had died.

Xander... Your parents are alive. They are here.. in this pack."

"What?" Xander asked. "You are lying.", he concluded.

"No. They are here. Let's go meet them."
