VANESSA P.O.V

I screamed in pain and Derek growled rushing for him. I screamed at the excruciating pain I felt again, it was pulling my veins maybe this is my end.


'Oh no. You see I injected into her a substance that would hurt her if any wolf comes close to her. It's quite painful though and it can kill her since she's a mere weak human," he said and Derek moved back Immediately and I felt better. Damian was boiling with rage as he was glaring at Adam with intense hatred.


'Now Rhea, I want you to reject Axel as your mate." I snapped my head facing him in disbelief.


"No, I will not," I said angrily. I knew I was still angry with Axel, but I wasn't ready to let him go. Derek smiled looking at Adam with joy in his eyes.

'Oh really. Then you leave me no choice," he said, as he shot my lap, I fell to the ground crying as I held my lap trying to stop the bleeding but nothing was working. Derek slammed the wall with his hands creating a huge hole on it, and Adam laughed.


'Now don't let me say it again or reject me," I nodded.

"I, RHEA REJECT AXEL TO BE MY MATE!" I repeated as instructed by him and I felt a sharp pain across my heart. I pray Axel will reject my rejection so I can feel better.


'You should have done that earlier now look see what you made me do," he said like he meant it.

"Now leave young men. Tell you Alpha that he's not a match for me," Adam said as he sprayed a substance and we disappeared from there.

We appeared in a different house and he dropped me down on the ground carelessly.

He left me and started walking up the stairs, I couldn't believe someone would be so cruel. He just shot me and he didn't care if I die.

I pulled myself up and dragged myself into the kitchen, I took a bottle of alcohol and a pen knife and went out.

I sat down on the floor dropping the knife and bottle of alcohol down.

I pulled up my dress and I whimpered in pain when I saw how deep it was, I wiped the tears away.

I took my face towel and filled my mouth with it and opened the bottle and pour some quantity on my lap and I screamed out at the hotness. I never knew extreme pain like this existed before now.

But thanks to what I put in my mouth, I didn't make any noise and I took the knife to remove the bullet.

'Please stop, Rhea," Racheal cried as she rushed to me with Hilda. She was already crying and I smiled tightly to avoid my tears pouring down.

"Stop doing that Rhea, it won't work on me, I know you are just trying to do that to make me feel better when you are the one in pain," she scolded, as she collected the knife from me.

'And you shouldn't be doing that, did you remember to sterilize the knife?" She asked and I shook my head. She frowned.

'And you want to remove it yourself Rhea, I can't believe you don't care about your life," she said, while Hilda brought out her box abd started cleaning the wound with Methylated disinfectant. I screamed and Racheal held me in her arms soothing me.


After the surface, Hilda proceeded to use a tool I didn't know the name to pull out the bullet, it came out easily and a hole was imprinted in my lap with more blood gushing out.

'Don't worry you will be fine, and I'm sure of that, you have survived something like this before so this is nothing." I nodded.

Hilda tidied up the wounds, stopping the rapid bleeding and covering it with plaster and bandages, she gave me some suppressant pills for the pain and she left, going inside the kitchen after she and Racheal helped me to a couch.

'I'm sorry Rhea, If I had known Adam would do something like that today I wouldn't have gone anywhere," Racheal said, she was crying, holding my hands. I ignored her pulling my hand away from her and I turned my face away from her.

'Rhea, are you that mad at me? I'm sorry but it wasn't my fault." I kept quiet because I didn't have the strength to answer her and I slowly drifted in sleep.


When I woke up I was in a hospital room with Racheal sleeping with her head on the bed.

What was I doing here? I thought everything was alright with me so what was I doing here. I began going down the bed to leave when my actions woke Racheal, her eyes were swollen from crying and smeared with mascara. I laughed and she raised a brow.

'Rhea, are you already awake?" She asked, as she began touching my neck to check if my temperature was going high.

"I'm fine, why are you doing that and what am I doing here?" I asked, looking around the room filled with monitor.

"You fainted out of too much loss of blood and we had to rush you to the hospital, and you have been unconscious since four days ago." My eyes nearly popped out of their sockets. No way I have been out for that long, no wonder I feel so tired.

'Are you still angry with me Rhea? I was talking to you before you fainted and you weren't answering me," she asked, with anxiety and sleep filled in her eyes.


'Why would I be angry with you? I was too tired to talk and I pulled my hands because it was hurting as you have held it up for too long."


'Are you sure?"

'Yes, I am. Now I want to go home, I'm fine," I said, as I went down the hospital bed.

'Rhea, go back up. The doctor would have to check if you are okay to be discharged first."

'But I'm fine," I argued, why would I be held here till someone else says I'm fine when I'm already feeling fine.
