Eleanor's pov
The sunlight hit my eyes the moment I threw the bedcovers away from my face and I closed them immediately. With a low wince, I gently opened them again, looking around me. Where was I? How did I even end up here?
The last thing I remembered before everything went out was Sebastian twirling his wine in his glass while smirking at me. Now, it all came back to me. I had eaten a walnut. Sebastian had tried to poison me! He knew I was allergic and tried to kill me. That bastard!
I tried to get up but a force jerked me back in bed. I turned to see a chain tied to the bedpost and around my wrist. He even had the effrontery to chain me up.
"Sebastian!" I yelled his name as loud as I could but got no reply.
"Sebastian!" I yelled again. It was still the same. No one answered me.
I gritted my teeth and turned to rip off the chains but the more I tried to, the more they cut into my wrist.
Just then, heat pooled in between my legs. A moan escaped my lips and I gripped the sheets with my free hand, trying to fight the heat building up in me. I let out a sharp wince when an invisible weight pressed down on me and I bit down on my lower lip. Sebastian, that bastard.
Tears filled my eyes but I hit back a sob. No, I wouldn't give in. I wouldn't let Sebastian win this time.
The passion became intense and I cried out.
"Sebastian, you bastard." A quiet sob escaped my lips and I buried my face in the darkness of my knees. Sebastian was with one of his mistresses and because of our mating mark, I felt whatever he felt. He took another woman to bed when he was married.
A giggle tore through the air from the next door and I began to sob.
Why was I the one suffering and not Loretta?
I was perfectly fine on my own before I met that devil called Sebastian but no, father wouldn't let me be.
"Lycan King Sebastian is a powerful man." He said.
"He is powerful enough to protect you and wealthy enough to make you happy." He said.
But look at me, chained up in my own bedroom while my own husband was sleeping with another woman on our matrimonial bed.
The door burst open and Sebastian staggers inside, his hand hooked around a dark haired woman's waist. From the way she was thinly dressed, it was clear they just concluded their pillow talk.
I tried to move but the chains held back my right arm. "You bastard!"
"Look at her all chained up like a dog." His mistress snickered and Sebastian joined her.
I sneered at the woman who looked a bit older than me.
"Come closer let me show you what a real dog looks like, bitch!"
The next thing I knew, Sebastian made a beeline for the bed and smacked me across the face.
Then he grabbed my chin, pressing his shape nails into my face.
"How dare you speak to Alessia that way, you wench!"
"Let go of me, you womanizer!" I yelled back and got another slap for my troubles.
"The only reason I'm keeping you alive is because of the deal your father and I made otherwise I would've killed you already." He sneered.
"Why don't you kill me already!" I screamed in his face and he tightened his grip.
"That will ruin the fun, won't it?" His red lips curved into a smile and he leaned his face closer for me to smell his cool breath. "I want you to suffer a slow and agonizing death, Eleanor. Killing you immediately will be boring."
Tears streamed down my face and I said with a low hiss.
"Go to hell."
"I'll put in a good word for you with the devil. Maybe he'll give you a mansion with a nice view of the lake of fire." Sebastian smirked.
"I hate you." I screamed at him again.
He barked a laugh and his stupid mistress joined him.
"The feeling is mutual, love."
Sebastian shoved me backwards and I fell on my back on the bed.
