Why the fuck didn’t he trust me?
Why, after everything, did he believe those filthy strangers?
My fingers tightened around the bottle, the cold glass a sharp contrast to the heat burning under my skin. The weight of betrayal pulsed like a fresh wound.
A part of me wanted to march back to that cell and make him repeat every single word he’d thrown at me.
The other part…
I just wanted to sink deeper into this oblivion.
And right now… it was the only thing that made sense.
The only thing keeping me from going there and doing something I might regret.
Maybe.
With tense muscles and a spinning head, I dropped into a random chair in the corner of the room, letting the emotional exhaustion crush down on me.
The dizziness hit fast, the mix of everything dulling my senses.
My vision blurred, everything around me shifting out of focus.
The bottle nearly slipped from my fingers, but I caught it, forcing another swig down my throat. The alcohol burned, but not enough to kill the fire eating me alive.
I tilted my head back, staring at the stained, filthy ceiling, searching for some scrap of peace in the empty space above.
But there was no peace.
F**k.
Everything had finally been falling into place.
Elijah was mine.
Body, mind, and soul.
And deep down… I was his too,
Even though I never planned on giving myself to anyone like this.

1 never wanted to love anyone.
I never thought I was even capable of it.
I just wanted to own him from the start.
Desire came before the feeling, but it didn’t take long for the two to tangle until they were impossible to separate.
I had so many plans.
I could already picture the day we’d leave this place behind.
Taste freedom together.
Where Elijah could finally be happy.
Where we’d both be happy.
But now …
The bitter taste of disappointment clouded everything.
After all we’d been through, he still doubted me.
Believed people who only wanted to ruin us.
And I didn’t know how to handle that.
The pain of seeing the distrust in his eyes cut deeper than any blade ever had.
I ran both hands through my hair, my nails scraping my scalp as my chest heaved with labored breaths.
Every muscle was tight, screaming for release from the suffocating pressure inside me.
And what pissed me off the most…
Was knowing that even after all this, I still wanted him.
And that’s what fucking killed me.
Because I’ve never needed anyone.
But Elijah was the exception.
A sudden touch landed on my shoulder, dragging me out of the haze.
I turned my head, trying to focus through the blur, but the figure beside me was still just a shapeless

outline.
Voices around me sounded muffled, too distant to make sense.
I shoved the hand away with a rough jerk, growling low.
“Get the fuck out of here,” I’m not in the mood p>
I brought the bottle back to my lips, ignoring whoever stood beside me, letting the alcohol pour down like liquid fire.
But then… something changed.
Lips brushed against my neck, a warm body settling onto my lap. The weight against me, the slow, provocative roll of their hips, triggered an instinctive alert.
I blinked hard, trying to focus past the thick fog in my mind.
And then, the figure sharpened.
Predator.
The bastard smiled, eyes dripping with filthy intent.
I’m here to help you, Ceifador.
His voice slid against my ear like a snake.
His hands ran down my chest as his hips kept grinding against me, desperate for a reaction.
“Don’t worry about the newbie…” he whispered, breath hot against my skin. “He’ll never know. We can have
our fun p>
My head spun, the drugs and liquor a deadly mix with my building rage.
My mind swayed between latent hate and the burning need to shut everything out.
My hands clamped down on his waist, pulling a pleased smile from him.
“Tell me…” My voice dragged low, dripping with something dark. “Was it you… who made my bunny doubt
me p>
Predator didn’t answer.
But the smug, wide grin on his face said everything.
I brought the bottle to my mouth, downing another heavy swig, feeling the burn slide into my gut.

A low, dangerous laugh rumbled from me as I stared him down.
“Oh… you’re so fucked p>
