Chapter 7 Recreate That Scenerio

  • [Diego's POV]
  • I stare up at the large building in front of me while waiting to hear screams from inside, but when it continues to remain silent, I make my way inside and then up the winding stairs that lead to the single room in the whole thing.
  • When I arrive, I once again wait as the feel of electricity presses against my skin. Even from where I stood, it was unpleasant, so why was that woman able to endure it? Was this some type of ploy to go easy on her because she was so small and weak-looking?
  • Annoyance flaring, I push open the door and let my eyes come to rest on her. Her clothes are in tatters, and her skin is covered in burns from what is being done, making it clear that my assumption was wrong.
  • “What the hell?” I growl, moving forward, just as another wave of electricity erupts from the cords that are attached to the woman.
  • As it begins to travel through her, her body arches and her mouth clamps, but even when she is clearly in severe pain, she doesn't cry out.
  • When it ends, she slumps and takes heavy breaths while her mouth moves, speaking inaudible words. For a moment, I'm curious what it is she is saying, but that curiosity disappears just as quickly as it appears, and I'm left with frustration over the scene in front of me.
  • “Enjoying the show?”
  • Her words take me by surprise, but not as much as the clear, defiant gaze that is fixed on me.
  • “Do you enjoy pain?” I counter, narrowing my gaze. “All of this could be over if you simply bow to me.”
  • “You keep saying that,” she murmurs as another strong shock hits her. “But,” she gasps. “I refuse to bow to another man for as long as I live.”
  • “Which won't be long if you continue to be defiant.” I snap.
  • “So be it.”
  • Remaining silent, I move over to the controls for our shock system and prepare to turn them to their highest settings until I realize they are already there.
  • “How?” I growl, shooting the woman a look as she once again slumps forward, this time with her eyes closed. “She should have cracked.”
  • As the words leave my lips, a laugh sounds, and when I turn, I find the stubborn woman watching me.
  • “You're all the same,” she giggles, repeating my own thoughts of every woman that surrounds me. “You think if you beat and intimidate those who defy you, then you'll get what you want.”
  • “Am I wrong?” I challenge. “Back in the labyrinth, it was clear you were willing to do whatever I wanted to not be raped.”
  • "That..." she begins, but stops as another shock hits, this one clearly more painful than the others due to how hard she bites her lip and the blood that appears. “I can’t die.”
  • “Isn’t that more reason to cooperate with me?”
  • This woman wasn’t making any sense, and I was truly beginning to wonder if she was in her right frame of mind. Usually, if someone was determined to survive, they would do whatever it was that their master wanted, but she was different.
  • “I’m not a thing to be used,” she says slowly. “What you did back then in that room,” stopping, a shiver rips through her before she takes a few calming breaths. “I won’t be someone’s toy to use as they please again.”
  • “Toy?” I repeat, raising a brow. “Do you truly believe that I’m interested in fucking you?”
  • It was absurd. I made it clear back then that I didn’t have to force anyone to sleep with me. They willingly came to me. Did she truly think that all of this was so that she would be my sex slave?
  • “Sorry to burst your bubble, little criminal.” I smirk. “I wouldn’t touch you with a ten-foot pole.”
  • “Then what?” She begins, seeming genuinely confused. “What is it that you want from me?”
  • I’m unable to hold back the laugh that escapes at her words, and when it fills the room and echoes around us, the woman’s cheeks flush pink.
  • “Stop laughing!” She growls, growing even more bold. “Why did you buy me?”
  • Sobering up, I fix my gaze on hers. I was sure that she was more than aware of what it was that I was after since she knew her abilities better than anyone.
  • “I need you to help me resurrect someone,” I explain.
  • At my words, the woman’s eyes grow wide with shock, and her face fills with confusion.
  • “Resurrect?” She repeats in disbelief. “Have you lost your mind?”
  • “Don’t play dumb,” I warn, moving forward.
  • “I don’t…” She gasps but stops as another powerful shock hits, this one strong enough to cause her gaze to blur. “I don’t know…”
  • “Don’t know or refuse to admit?” I growl, grabbing her chin and making her look at me. “There is no fucking way you don’t know what you’re capable of.”
  • Growing quiet, I wait as her eyes clear and a slow smile begins to spread across her ripped and torn lips.
  • “Sorry to break it to you,” she beams. “You’ve got the wrong person.”
  • “BULLSHIT!” I roar, tightening my hold. “Do you truly think that your secret is still a secret? Everyone on the fucking planet knows what you are and what you’re capable of. Especially after what you did to your husband and his friends. If I wasn’t the one to buy you, then there would have been others who wished to possess you.”
  • “Then doesn’t that mean that I’m a liability?” She laughs, continuing to be defiant. “I’m sure as we speak, they’re all plotting to come here and take me. Too bad. Each and every one of you has been deceived. I’m nothing more than a lowly omega with no special abilities and no true purpose except to create an heir.”
  • At her words, more anger rushes through me due to her once again playing the victim card. If this wasn’t enough to break her, then I would simply have to take extreme measures.
  • Reaching out, I grab the collar that is fixed around her neck and snap it in two. As the pieces fall to the floor, I wrap a hand around her throat and then begin to squeeze.
  • “It was when you felt truly trapped and in danger that you used your abilities, correct?” I growl, tightening my hold so that her eyes widen in shock. “Then I’ll simply have to recreate that scenerio for you.”
  • Gasping, she attempts to stop me but is unable to due to the chains that are tightly wrapped around her wrists.
  • “Do…n’t…” she rasps. “I can’t…”
  • “Can’t what?” I snarl, digging my claws into her flesh. “You can’t use your abilities, or you can’t reveal your secrets?”
  • “Die,” she finishes. “No…t until…”
  • “Then show me what you can do!” I roar. “Only then will I release you!”
