Imprisoned
When Lita finally ope
her eyes, they were stiff and grainy, her vi
vision clouded and spotty.
Ney? She called out to her wolf. Something had been wrong with her woll, Lita could remember that much, even
before something smashed into her and left her brain scrambled. But Lita’s wolf was dangerously quiet. She
couldn’t even see her pacing behind her mental fence. That wasnt good.
What the hell was going on? Where the hell was she? Passed out behind the bar? Lita tried to sit up but she could
barely move her neck. Pain linced back into her consciousness with viciousness, speckling her vision red. She
groaned, noting the sandpaper feel of her tongue, the thickening of her threat. She tried her shoulders, and they
sluggishly responded, sending fire to the back of her head. Who hit her in the head with a sledgehammer? Ar
least that’s what it felt like, heavy throbbing, and something broken. She could feel the crust of dried blood on
the back of her neck.
Lita tried to lift her hands and touch the damage, but her body resisted, shaking violently. Nausea washed over
her and the only managed to roll to her side before vomiting. Her face on the rough stone Boor had her eyes
trying to focus. Where the hell was she? The alleyway? No, there wasn’t nearly enough light to be the alleyway,
even if it was still nighttime. There had been a large overhead Ing light where she threw up, she remembered.
Stace and faz would never have left her there anyway. They'd have taken her home, especially once Cole got
there. Slowly her mind was coming back to her. Her vision swirled but began to clear too.
“Greg said she’s a nice piece of ass... Heard she’d pretty banged up. You know | like the ones that don’t fight,”
Lita heard a man’s voice she didn’t know, somewhere behind her and another voice she didn’t recognize was
answering him, “The bass would kill you, don’t even think about it. Let's just do what the hell we're here to do
and go. Did you ever send the doc in here to treat her bead?”
“The fuck would the point of that be? I'd rather see how long she can go before she screams. So far she made it
through the night, the violent one said. She shivered. Lita didn’t want that one anywhere near her.
“For fuck’s sake, ignoring the boss's orders are the fastest way to get your head permanently separated from
your shoulders man. Its your fucking funeral.
“Boss doesn’t give a flying fuck about bitches, the violent one spat, “His loss. All this ass around here and he
never gets his dick wet, Why the hell would he care if she’s a little banged up?”
Lita tensed, struggling to pull herself together enough to get into a defensive position. Two men she didn’t know
were coming for her. She needed to fight. She needed to scream. She needed to do something. But her body just
wouldn't cooperate. She was hurt bad, almost as bad as when Brian went crazy on her. Fuck. What if he'd been
the one to attack her?
Brian had never stopped texting her. Calling in the middle of the night while her phone was on silent. Stalking
her old school. Cole said he'd dropped out after Lita did and when she finally changed her number, she'd always
wondered what that would mean for Brian. Had he gone on to stalk whoever had her old number now? Had he
given up finally? Had he lost his mind? Was he lurking silently behind the bushes everywhere she went? She
often held that fear close to her chest, not even letting Cole know how truly terrified it made her sometimes.
Even with Nyx and her training every day, she would sometimes still get caught up in those old memories. Fear
was a hard thing to lose.
What if he'd finally found her? Finally gotten her back like he always said he would. What would he do? And if he
had gotten her isolated...
A beep and clicking sound was followed by a metal scraping as the door behind her was pushed open. She tried
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtand failed to raise her head, vomit still clinging to the side of her mouth.
“Ugh jesus, scratch my earlier comment, smells like old vomit and sweat in here,” the violent man stepped
closer to her, edging her back with his heavy boots. She felt him nudge her twice with the steel toe, “Wake up!”
When she didn’t move, another pair of boots walked around to her front, creasing as a man kneeled down to her
level and snorted, ‘Greg said a nice piece of ass huh? Looks like somebody lied. He looked her over with hard
eyes and let his lip curl up into a snarl.
Two sets of arms hefted her up, dragging her out of the room as her head exploded in agony. The men dragged
her down a run down hallway, merhead lights sparking and fixing as they passed the numerous metal doors.
Cells, they were all cells and Lita could bear the distant scratching noises mixing with whimpers and screams as
they continued to drag her. Each door had a number and a thin strip of metal that opened for food trays most
likely. She shuddered, this place was a prison of ssort and she prayed that all these cells didn’t all have
prisoners in them. What the hell kind of place was this? Brian was cruel but not... not whatever this place was.
The two men continued the walk until they reached a set of double swinging doors where they promptly threw
her inside and told her to wash. Her Iners scuffed the ground, twisting the ankle that still wore a shoe in the
process. Her hands smacked the ground to break her Lall as she heard the sound of bonts tording further away
from her. Head throbbing, ears ringing, Lita managed to look back and see they'd disappeared back behind the
swinging dours, no longer in any position to see her. She returned her attention to the room, no higger than a
gul’s locker room and full of shower head. Without stalls or curtains, she could see she was expected to wash out
in the open. There was no way in hell she was going to do that
Lit carefully got to her feet, being gentle with her twisted ankle, pushing into her mind for any signs of Nyx but
frustratingly found nothing. She stumbled over to a shower chair that held sfolded clothes and a pair of thin
slippers. She didn't trust it, but she also knew she couldn't stay in her club dress and half a pair of high heels
either. That wouldn’t do her any good when it cto fighting her
way out.
Tossing a glance back at the doors, she peeled off her dress and slipped into the scratchy cotton clothes and
shoes. Pressing the shower handle nearest her, she bent over and let the cool water rinse the blood from her
hair. The second the cool water hit the open area on her scalp she nearly screamed, biting it back into a hiss of
pain so searing she almost collapsed. She didn’t pull back though, letting the blinding pain sting through her
until it was only a hard ache. Scrubbing her face until it was clear of vomit and dried sweat, Lit felt a little more
like a person again, even if she had no idea whose prisoner she was. She used her old dress to towel her face,
noticing no one had the decency to leave her an actual towel and sat atop the plastic chair. She waited for the
two men to return, never taming off the water.
And just as she suspected, the man who made sexual innuendos about her cstorming in suddenly a minute
later, while he thought she was still showering. He was triumphantly holding the towel she'd no doubt be
searching for. The grin on his disgusting face slipped as he realized she was already dressed and waiting for him.
He growled, yelling for the other man as they promptly took one of her arms and forced her back into the hall.
“Why are you doing this?” Lita asked, her voice still sounding like rocks, “Who are you?”
disgusting man asked with a sneer, then leaned to her car to whisper, “I can show

exactly what | am.....”
“Don’t talk to her Chris,” the other snapped, shaking his curls out of his face. Chris only scoffed and made a
show of tracking his eyes over Lita’s body as he pulled away. The violent one was named Chris, she made a
mental note to stay as far the fuck away from him as she could. The other man barked, “Boss won't like you
getting close to her, keep it in your fucking pants.”
“I don’t fucking answer to you, Ren, Chris grinned violently, then shoved Lita harder, “Get moving bitch, the boss
doesn’t like to be kept waiting!”
Her head was splitting in half, she was pretty sure of it and as she was pushed forward, her ankle wobbled then
gave out. She couldn't bite back the yelp.

Chris grinned a smile full of teeth and she tucked her face closer to Ren’s shoulder blade. Lita didn’t trust Ren
either but dammit if she had to chose between the two, she'd rather have the one who was just doing his fucking
job, whatever that was.
Another hissing click and metal groaning as it pushed open and she was carried into an elegant kitchen. Marble
and glass and chrome. Two women hurried about the room, hunched user pots and chopping vegetable as Ren
carried her quickly through. She didn’t miss the way they avoided looking up at her and the men, though their
jaw muscles twitched as if that had been a hard trained habit. What the hell kind of place was this?
Through the kitchen, they passed into
a lounge of sorts then through
another door, this one wooden and
inlaid with gold. Lita saw it in detail as
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmthey passed it. The doorway opened
onto a room with pgairjecodling
palette She
noticed Chris stayed at the doorway,
not daring to step foot in the room.
After a few steps, Ren deposited her
in a soft velvet chair and stepped
away as if touching her for even a
moment longer than he had to was a
great sin. She saw the fireplace
ahead of her and the quaint table of
food set before it. It had been set for
two and her velvet seat was
obviously meant to push into it.
Though as she looked across to the
other setting, the seat was empty.
“As requested sir, she refused to shower but changed her clothes,” he said quickly and efficiently, bowing low
before turning to leave. Lita had a moment of pause, wondering if he'd scented her filth or if he'd assumed she
hadn’t showered when he saw her dressed so quickly. Either way it didn’t matter, she decided.

Leave us,” a man boomed from the
far corner, drawing her eye. Ren

of her mind was gutting as she
struggled to maintain a passive face.

It wasn’t a learned fear, like Brian, but an instinctual one. One that said he was every inch a predator and he had
enough blood on his hands for her to know he’d mince no words when dispatching her death, Maxim took several
