Helanie:
After a while, I started to panic and struggle against the restraints. But I was trapped in silver chains, and with me being pregnant and my wolf asleep inside me, there was no way I could break free.
"HELLO!" I screamed, and he finally responded. I watched him step into the room and stare at me. For a moment, I couldn’t ask him anything because I remembered how he had reacted in the car, and it honestly scared me. I didn’t want him to say something that would break me deep inside. Being pregnant made me overly emotional, so there was a good chance I would react with my heart instead of my head.
"Why have you tied me up?" I asked again, tears stinging my eyes.
The moment he came out from the darkness to face me, I gasped. He didn’t even look like Kaye. His eyes were empty, no soul in them at all. They were completely black. That’s how I knew he was under a siren’s hypnotism spell. He didn’t answer me, just turned around and left again. His body language was stiff.
After fifteen minutes, he returned with a food tray in his hand.
"Kaye, I know you’re under her spell. You can break through. I trust you. I believe in you," I pleaded, trying to push myself up. But I was tied in a way that forced me to lie flat.
He kept his head down as he placed the food from the tray onto the small table. Two sofas stood in the other corner of the room where he set it up. Then he straightened his back and walked toward me. I sank deeper into the bed, afraid of him.
He didn’t look me in the eye but started to untie me. The moment he freed my right hand, I tried to get up, rolling over to free my left. I didn’t notice him trying to stop me, and that weirded me out. My movement slowed, and I turned to look at him. He stood beside my bed in the same spot as before, hands on his waist, staring at me with black eyes.
I slowly lay back down again. I realized he didn’t care for me. If I tried to run, he would use all his strength, and that was too much for me, a pregnant woman with four babies, to fight against. He would drag me back no matter what, and I was more afraid for my babies than myself. Besides, it’s not like I could kill him to escape. This was Kaye, my mate.
I watched him walk to the other side and start untying me. His silence was killing me. He grabbed my arm, and the way he yanked me off the bed scared me so much I placed my hand on his chest to stop my fall. But he instantly slapped my hand away, showing me he wasn’t affected by my touch at all.
I looked up at him, my neck bent all the way back just to see his face, while he briskly walked me to the sofa. He grabbed me from the back and sat me down. I waited for him to take the sofa across the table, and he did.
There were burritos in front of us, with salad and other food. He didn’t even glance at me. He just sat, tore into his burrito, and ate like a monster.
"Kaye, I want to know what you’re going to do to me," I whispered, hoping he would finally respond. His silence was too heavy for someone who had been abducted and had no clue what to expect. If he was under a siren’s spell, she would make him do things that would harm me until I was dead.
