Chapter 63 - Fifty Shades Of f****d Up.

Natalia's P.O.V.

"I Cole Demetrius Vasquez reject you, Natalia Isabella Vasquez, as my mate, my sister and my future Luna of The Dark Shadows pack, don't you dare f*****g tell anybody about this otherwise I'll f*****g kill you, not that anyone will believe you anyway since everyone already knows you're a habitual liar"

"I'm sorry, Natalia, I know you don't believe me but I am and I promise, I'm gonna do everything I can to prove to you just how sorry I am"

"That's my point, Natalia...I abused you, I bullied you, I f*****g rejected you, I had sex with other women knowing it would hurt you, I even threatened to take you to the torture room which I never would have done but I still threatened you with it and you've forgiven me for it all"

"I Cole Demetrius Vasquez accept you, Natalia Isabella Vasquez, as my mate and future Luna of the Dark Shadows pack"

"As king of the supernaturals, I would like to formally announce on behalf of myself, my wife Queen Tia and the entire royal family your princess Natalia and your new prince Cole, Mr and Mrs Vasquez"

"Then trust me ok, if not as your husband then as your alpha....Mason's gonna die and I'll be the one to f*****g kill him, nobody messes with my wife and gets away with it"

"You may be my strong little warrior, Nat but you're also currently pregnant with our pups and I'm not having you put in harm's way"

"We'll be back soon, ok, don't worry"

"Dalton"

"Cole's dead"

"AARRRRRRRRGGHHHHH!!, NOOOOOOOOOO!!"

I woke up with a loud gasp and panting like I'd been underwater for a really long time and I've just gotten my first taste of fresh air, I could barely breathe.

I looked around the room hoping to see the familiar whites, creams and golds of my bedroom as well as seeing Cole alive and well sleeping next to me showing me that all of this was nothing but a very bad dream but no, I'm still here in this dark, depressing room proving it was all very much real and not the nightmare that I'd hoped.

"Nice to see you awake, sleeping beauty"

"Urgh!!, you're still here"

I groaned in disgust as I sat up on the bed.

"It's my mansion, babe"

"Don't call me that"

I leaned against the headboard as I noticed my hands weren't shackled anymore but my wrists are all red and blistered, I really hope he hasn't been injecting me with silver or wolfsbane because that shit is bad for us and lethal for a fetus.

Wait, if I'm no longer shackled then that means....

"Don't even think about it"

"Think about what?"

I asked faking confusion.

"Using your powers to get out of here, not that you can anyway but it'll be fun to watch you try"

He said with a smirk.

"What do you mean I can't use my powers?"

I asked whilst eyeing up the dagger that Mason is currently playing with.

"Well, my love"

He said whilst standing up and coming over to the bed, he sat way to close for comfort and I tried to back up away from him but he stopped me by caging me in with his arm on one side of the bed and his body on the other.

"Don't try to get away from me sweetheart, it won't work because I'll always find you"

"Don't call me that"

I growled whilst moving my head when he tried to touch me.

"AAHHH!!, get off me"

Mason roughly grips my chin causing me a lot of pain.

"I'm letting you off with a lot right now Nattie because you're going through some shit but don't f*****g push me, ok"

"Then don't kill my f*****g husband next time...maybe then I'll be a little bit more co-operative, AAHHH!!"

My head snaps to the side when he backhands me.

"WHY DAMMIT?....WHY CAN'T YOU f*****g LET HIM GO?"

"Because he's my mate you f*****g imbecile...the mate bond is one of the strongest bonds a supernatural being can have...you'd know that if you even bothered to give Aubrey a chance"

"She told you about me?"

He said whilst looking at me with shock.

"Of course she did...she didn't have much of a choice with silver running down her back"

"You tortured her?"

I smirked at him, he actually looks hurt and pained.

"Yes...and I enjoyed every single second of it, you should have heard her screams, they were like music to my ears"

"Stop it"

"Why? is it painful listening to someone talk about how they hurt your soulmate?"

"Natalia"

"How they tortured her to the point she could barely breathe because of how much pain she's in?"

"Please...stop"

"Lucky for you though your skanky whore is alive whereas Cole...he's dead"

"EXACTLY HE'S DEAD, HE'S GONE, f*****g GET OVER IT!!"

"AND WHAT? LIVE HAPPILY EVER AFTER HERE WITH YOU AND THE ADDAMS FAMILY IN THIS CREEPY ASS PLACE, f**k YOU!!"

"Well, you've got no other choice princess, nobody is coming here to save you and as for you saving yourself....that'll never happen"

"Urgh!!, COULD YOU JUST STOP AND TELL ME WHY I CAN'T USE MY POW...oh my god"

"Are you ok?"

Mason tried to approach me but I pushed him away.

"Don't touch me...I'm fine, I just stood up a little too quick, that's all"

"Yer well, be careful next time, I can't have my wife fainting on me now, can I?"

I look up at Mason giving him an are you being serious? look, he's seriously f*****g delusional this one.

"I'm not your wife asshole, I'm Mrs Vasquez, not Mrs Creepy"

"Cute"

He pinched my chin whilst chuckling.

"That's very cute"

"Whatever"

I roll my eyes.

"You can't use your powers because I put a spell on you...and now your mine"

"Oh really Winifred and what spell is that then?"

He looks at me with a smug look as he crosses his arms over his chest.

"It's a spell to make your witch side dormant so you can't use it"

"And why would you do that?"

"Because the last time I had you in my grasp, you orbed out in the middle of me marking and mating you"

"Oh you mean the time you almost killed me because your stupid ass didn't realise that you can't mark somebody who is still bonded to their true mate?"

"You're really starting to piss me off, Nattie"

He growled through gritted teeth and I smirked.

Oh good, I love pissing people off.

"That's one of my many amazing traits, Mason"

"Really?"

"Mm-hmm, I'm really good at pissing people off especially men, I'm also really good at dancing, kickboxing, reading sappy love stories oh and kicking ass"

I kneed Mason in his family jewels before kicking him in the stomach twice when he keeled over, I then ran out of the room, I didn't have a clue where I was going or how to find my way out of this god awful place but I had to find a way.

"NATALIA!!"

Shit.

I turn around slightly and flinched when I saw Mason's shadow on the wall.

"NATALIA!!...GET BACK HERE, RIGHT NOW!!"

Pfft, as if.

I continued to run, trying to open any door I could but most were either locked or dead ends, I eventually found the front door but before I could get to it, I was picked up and flung across the room.

"AAHHHH!!"

I wrapped my arm around my stomach feeling the most intense pain shoot through my body.

"You f*****g bitch"

I screamed in pain when Mason roughly grabbed me by my hair and dragged me to my feet.

"Mason, let me f*****g go"

He intensified his grip causing me to scream in even more pain, he then brought his face closer to mine until we were literally nose to nose, eww!!, this is gross.

"Never"

He growled before dragging me all the way up the stairs and back to his bedroom where he threw me on the bed, I tried to get up several times but failed when he kept pushing me back down until he eventually straddled me and wrapped his hand around my neck as he searched through his top drawer for something.

"Wh..what a..are y..you d..doing?"

"You'll soon find out, baby"

Urgh!!, that word is so foul when it comes from someone like him.

CLICK!!...CLICK!!.

What the...I look up and see my hands being handcuffed to the headboard...again.

"What are you doing?"

"Oh, just keeping you under lock and key until you calm down and learn not to be abusive with me"

"Why, what's wrong? are you not man enough to handle a strong woman?"

I groaned when he gripped my chin tightly, what is with this dickhead and grabbing my f*****g chin?.

"You'll soon find out what type of man I am, Nattie, actually these cuffs should be a pretty good give away"

"You're sick"

"Says the girl who loves Fifty Shades Of Grey"

"What? no, I don't"

"Whatever you say, Nattie"

He chuckles as he gets off me and walks over to the walk-in wardrobe.

"What do you know about BDSM and DDLG, Nat?"

"Only that Christian Grey is a huge fan of one of them"

"So, you do like Fifty Shades?"

He asks with a smirk and I look away disgusted.

"I'll take that as a yes"

Whatever shithead.

"What's that?"

I ask feeling confused when I see Mason push what looks like a black leather trunk on wheels into the room.

"There's something you should know about me Natalia since we're gonna be a married couple soon"

Whatever you say, you delusional bitch.

"I heard that"

He growled at me as I roll my eyes.

"Stay out of my head, Mason"

"Only if I can get into your knickers, Nattie"

He said in what I assume to be a seductive voice as he crawled on top of me.

"Eww, do you have too?"

"What's wrong, sweetheart?..."

"Don't call me that"

I growled really wanting to punch his perfect white teeth down his throat but as you know, I can't.

"Why what's wrong with me calling you that?"

I didn't answer because I didn't want him knowing about Brody, it's bad enough that he's killed my mate and ruined my life, I can't have him killing Brody too, he doesn't deserve to have his life ruined and or ended because of his affiliation with me.

"I just don't want you calling me it, it sounds gross coming from you"

"Really?...or is it because your ex-boyfriend calls you it?"

My eyes narrowed to his as I tried not to look so panicked or afraid.

"I haven't got an ex-boyfriend"

Mason chuckled as he cupped my face with both of his hands.

"Oh really?...then tell me about Brody"

Oh no.

"Because my research has shown me that you've been just as much of a whore with him then you were with Cole"

"And...what business is it of yours, huh?...so what if I had a boyfriend before Cole, he's got nothing to do with this"

"Actually...it does because I wanted my queen to be pure and untouched not a whore"

Is he for real?.

"Aww, what a shitty pity, come on Mason it's 2020, not the 1800's, women can do whatever and whoever they want"

He chuckled slightly.

"I know, I just never had you pegged as a whore, that's all Nattie"

"I'm not a whore"

I growled hating that he keeps calling me that word, I bet he never called Aubrey it.

"Of course you are"

He said whilst burying his face into my neck and sniffing my scent.

I groaned in disgust wanting him off me but there's no way that's gonna happen any time soon.

A shiver of disgust ran down my spine when Mason started kissing my neck but it didn't compare to the shiver of fear that ran throughout my whole body when he spoke again.

"You've been a very naughty girl Nattie dropping your knickers like a common streetwalker...if I'm gonna change this about you then I need to be rid of both Cole and Brody"

What? oh please moon goddess, no.

"Cole's rotting away in some freezer somewhere, so that means there's only one left to kill"

"What? no, no, please...please leave Brody alone, he's innocent"

"Sshhh!! princess, it's ok...Brody has to die"

He said whilst caressing my face with his thumbs.

"No, he doesn't, please Mason"

"He took your innocence Natalia, that was supposed to be my job so now I have to kill him"

Mason gets off me and I start to panic.

"Mason, please don't do this, I beg of you"

"Sorry sweetheart, as much as I love to hear you beg me, I've gotta go...I've got a man I need to kill"

"MASON!!"

I screamed his name several times whilst trying to break free of the handcuffs which look flimsy but are anything but.

"MASON!!, DON'T YOU DARE f*****g TOUCH HIM!!...MASON!!"

Dalton's P.O.V.

"MASON, YOU STUPID SON OF A WHORE!!, COME BACK HERE!!"

This is f*****g torture, I wanna help her but I can't, I don't know how.

"Make a phone call, D"

"To who, Damien?"

"You know who, he's the only one who can help us now...he's the only one who can help us save Natalia"

He's right.

I stand up from where I was sitting and grab my phone from my pocket, I immediately dialled my friend's number and anxiously wait for him to answer me.

"Hello"

I instantly smiled hearing the familiar voice.

"Hello brother, long time no speak"

"Dalton, i..is that you?"

"Yer it is...look I...I need your help"

"What is it?"

"Natalia Vasquez"

"Natalia"

His voice was stiff and filled with emotions but I couldn't make any of them out.

"She's been kidnapped by Prince Mason, he plans on marking, mating and marrying her before the next full moon"

"He can't do that"

"I know that and you know that but Mason doesn't, he's been swimming in the delusional pond for far too long, he actually believes that he can marry Natalia and become king"

"Well, he needs to kill Cole along with her entire immediate family for that to happen"

"Yer well, he's one down four to go"

He's silent for a minute before speaking again.

"What do you need me to do?"

"Natalia's heartbroken over Cole's death ok, she's not coping....Mason's threatened to kill one of her best friends and I need you to stop him before he does"

"Which one?"

"Brody Mitchell"

"Consider it done"

Phew!!.

"Thanks, brother"

"You're welcome, Dalton"

He hangs up and I sigh in relief, although I won't be totally and completely relieved until I know that Brody is safe and sound and Nattie doesn't have to grieve over another loved one.

One Hour Later...

It's been an hour since Mason left and forty minutes since Natalia finally stopped screaming and fell asleep.

"Chamomile tea? are you coming down with something Dalton?"

"No, it's for Natalia"

"That screaming bitch, don't tell me she's...AAHHHH!!, what are you doing?"

I pick the bastard up by his throat and slam him against the wall.

"Dalton, what the fu..."

"SHUT UP!!, just shut up ok...if I ever and I mean ever hear you or anyone else in this shit hole speak a foul word towards Natalia then I'll rip your throats out and feed them to your families, do you understand me?"

He rapidly nods his head.

"Words, dickhead"

"YES!!"

"Good...don't f*****g mess with me, you won't like the consequences if you do"

I push him to the floor before going over to the kitchen counter to grab the tea and I leave the kitchen.

I use my werewolf speed to get up to the room were Natalia is, I wanna speak to her before Mason comes back home.

As soon as I enter, I see her lying in the fetal position and she's once again handcuffed to the f*****g bed, this f*****g man and his sick sadistic ways.

I go over to the bed placing the tea on the bedside table and I sit next to Natalia pushing a strand of her hair behind her ear, this poor girl, even in her sleep she doesn't get any peace, her beautiful face is all scrunched up like she's having a nightmare and it's filled with so much sadness and pain as well as dried tear stains.

I remember the day that she was 'born', it was a huge shock to the pack because nobody knew of Luna Maria being pregnant and although werewolf pregnancies are very fast and even faster when you're an alpha, it doesn't mean that she-wolves are any different to regular humans, they still grow a bump, they still get cravings and everything else that goes with being pregnant the only difference is time.

Anyway, when Natalia was brought home, the entire pack was suspicious but Luna Maria managed to convince the pack that it was a special pregnancy that's why she never looked pregnant, it was a few years later when I learned of her adoption and not long later I found out that she was a royal wolf.

I was hiding out in the woods when Natalia first shifted, I was completely shocked when I saw the colour of her wolf along with the royal mark on her forehead glowing like a beautiful star in the sky, it doesn't exactly take a rocket scientist to put two and two together and come up with a beautiful royal baby, even if I was just a kid at the time.

"Dalty"

Natalia's broken voice breaks me from my thoughts.

I look down at her and my heart broke seeing how depressed and pained she looked.

"Hey Nattie, are you ok? I brought you some Chamomile tea, it'll help with your throat"

"It's my fault"

"What do you mean?"

I asked her confused.

"Everythings my fault Dalton....people are dying because of me, Mason kidnapped two babies because of me...h..he's killed my h..husband and now h..he wants to k..kill B..Brody"

"Hey, calm down"

I move so I'm sitting next to her head and I hold her close to me.

I tried to reassure her that everything's gonna be ok and make sure that she knows it's not her fault but nothing was working.

"Please don't be upset Natalia, it's not good for the babies"

I lean down and kiss her head whilst stroking my fingers up and down her arm, I was hoping to comfort her but she was too wound up to accept it.

"They're better off dead Dalton, Mason will find a way to kill them too when he finds out I'm pregnant"

"Don't say that Nattie, you just need to stay calm and relaxed until I can figure out a way to get you out of here"

"What's the point, Dalton?...I'm all alone now"

"No, you're not, Natalia, you've got your friends, your family, your kids..."

"But no Cole"

My eyes close tightly as I wrap my arms around Natalia hugging her and gently stroking her hair.

"Don't worry Nattie, I'm gonna make sure everything is ok...I promise you"

I will protect you my Luna even if that means I have to die to succeed...I'll make sure you're safe, Nattie, you and your babies.
