Reclaimed By My Alpha (Natalia and Andrei) novel Chapter 517

Natalia’s POV

My eyes cracked open. For a moment, my head spun, but soon my vision came back into focus.

The ceiling above me was wooden beams and shadows. I was still in the cabin, still Isaac’s captive. He must have used the ruby to knock me out.

I tried to move my arms, but they wouldn’t budge. Something was wrapped around them, which I quickly realized to be rough ropes when I moved and felt the fibers rub painfully against my wrists.

I began to panic and tug frantically at the bindings. My wolf felt far away—the last time I’d felt this way had been when I’d been in the Winter King’s clutches. My head was fuzzy, but I knew I needed to get the fuck away from that ruby and the fuck away from that feeling.

No. No, no, no, not again!

My heart pounded wildly.

Have to get out have to get out have to get out!

“I wouldn’t do that if I were you.”

Isaac’s voice came from somewhere to my left. I whipped my head around so hard it made my neck twinge. He was sitting in a chair with the ruby resting on a table beside him. It was still glowing faintly, pulsing in the darkness and turning the underside of his chin red.

“Let me go,” I demanded.

“I’m afraid I can’t do that.” He stood and walked over to me. I was lying on the floor of the small room with my hands tied above my head to something I couldn’t see. My ankles were bound too.

I felt truly vulnerable for the first time in months. The last time I had felt like this… I didn’t even want to remember what it was like. The agony. The helplessness. The horror.
