The Hexed Sex

The Scars She Hid From The World

REGINA MCBRIDE

The heavy iron gates of the Wilderness Correction Camp groaned as they released me after three years of state-sponsored hell. I stood on the dirt road, clutching a plastic bag that held my entire life, waiting for the family that claimed they sent me there for "rehab." My brother, Brady, picked me up in a luxury SUV only to throw me out onto a deserted highway in the middle of a brewing storm. He told me I was a "public relations nightmare" and that the rain might finally wash the "stink" of the camp off me. He drove away, leaving me to limp miles through the mud on a snapped ankle. When I finally dragged myself to our family estate, my mother didn't offer a hug; she gasped in horror because my muddy clothes were ruining her Italian marble. They didn't give me my old room back. Instead, they banished me to a moldy gardener’s shack and hired a "babysitter" to make sure I didn't embarrass them further. My sister, Kaleigh, stood there in white cashmere, pretending to cry while clinging to her fiancé, Ambrose—the man who had once been mine. They all treated me like a volatile junkie, refusing to acknowledge that Kaleigh was the one who planted the drugs in my bag three years ago. They wanted to believe I was broken so they wouldn't have to feel guilty about the "wellness retreat" that was actually a torture chamber. I sat in the dark of that shed, feeling the cooling gel on the cigarette burns that covered my arms, and realized they had made a fatal mistake. They thought they had erased me, but I had returned with a roadmap of scars and a hidden satellite phone. At dinner, I didn't beg for their love. I simply rolled up my sleeves and showed them the price of their silence. As the wine spilled and the lies crumbled, I sent a single text to the only person I trusted: "I'm in. Let them simmer." The hunt was finally on.

Chapter 1. Becky.

Becky's POV.

"What are you looking at?" I asked, looking up from the book I was reading and to a pair of silver-gray eyes staring sharply at me.

" Why are you so stubborn? You weren't like this when we first met."

" I was a 17-year-old wolfless teenager when we first met, and mind you, you brutally rejected a teenager who believed in love, completely shattering any hopes of her believing in love ever again. And guess what... Now I'm a 21-year-old lady who spent the last 4 years of her life avoiding any form of love and still isn't about to transform! I said sarcastically while glaring at him, not caring if he was the Alpha King.

" I apologize for that, but you were too young for me to claim you as mine," Hunter said, his voice a hint of emotion.

"Oh, you have got to be kidding me. No one has ever made me this angry before." I said, turning my eyes back to the book in my hand. "If you don't mind, I really don't care, could you leave? I need to work."

The room fell silent for a while, neither of us saying any word or moving.

I could still feel Haunter, the Alpha king's gaze on me, but I wasn't going to give him what he wanted that easily. And to hell with the stupid mate bond, I'll resist that thing for as long as I can.

"You have three days to pack your things and come live with me." The Alpha King said, not breaking his gaze from me, his voice was filled with authority and command.

I snapped my eyes to look up at him. Not this again. "Excuse me?" I asked, my brows knotted together.

He didn't respond and kept staring at me, his gaze sharp and intense. I could feel my heart starting to speed up against my will.

Curse this mate bond.

Jiggle...jiggle...

Knock...knock...knock

The silence between us was disrupted by a sudden Jiggle and knock on the door. I had forgotten we were in my office at work. I just got back from the human world a few days ago.

Jimmy's voice was heard from the other side of the door. " What the...girl, why's your door locked?"

Haunter and I both turned to look at the door at the same time, a frown appeared on his face.

"Your attention is needed in the meeting room, and it's urgent; Mr. Zach is yelling at everyone for a mistake Mira made except her. Why do we have to get punished for a mistake she did and she's not even getting punished for it because she's the Alpha king's adopted sister? Seriously, I wanna quit and start my own company; I'm tired of the way he treats us." Jimmy whined, his voice sounding like he was about to cry while leaning on the door.

I turned to look at Haunter who was now staring at me, his face unreadable.
