Rae

We just sat there. It's been probably a few days. No food. Just water. I laid against his chest as he leaned against the wall. He played with my hair a bit, twirling it in his fingers. Sometimes they would take him out. To the room. Ryder would never let me go that far into the dungeon but it existed. My breathe went shaky, feeling myself shiver in the cold atmosphere. Jace pulled me closer to him, warmth coming of from him.

"I-I'm fine Jace, save your energy" he growled at my response.

"No your not fine" he then sighed. "Look I'm sorry. I pulled us into this mess. I-I didn't mean to, if I wasn't a rouge everything would have been better, different, I-I" tears had glazed his eyes. It hurt me, my throat already tightening.

"This isn't your fault. It is not! Don't you dare say that!" I gritted my teeth, he looked down at me and then I wiped away a stray tear from his eye. "We are both going to get out of here alive, I can promise you that"

He gulped and then gently yet passionately, kissed me. I was a bit shocked at first and then responded, melting into the kiss. I felt my self sit on his lap, facing him, our lips never coming undone. Dominance. He gained it first, with in human speed we flipped and he pushed me up against the wall. My hand had found his hair, tangling in it as I heard him groan. Our lips came apart and his mouth found its way down my jaw and to my collarbone. He was gently sucking in my skin and I melted at the feeling, trying to hide a moan from coming out of my mouth.

He then stopped, looking at me, his eyes yellow. "Let me mark you" his wolf was out.

"But what happens if you die? What happens if we both die, I don't wa-"

"Listen. I don't care. Not any more. I don't care about Ryder. I don't care if he slashes me with a whip, I don't care if he sends a thousand men to torture me slowly. The only thing on my mind is you my love"

"Yes" a shaky whisper.

"Yes what?"

"You can mark me" my wolf has come out, my eyes stinging. He showed a bit of teeth, smiling and then nodded.

"I'm sorry if it hurts" he whispered, closer to my ear. He smashed his lips back to mine, savouring the moment. He released then went back to my neck, to the position where he would mark me.

I then felt his canines skim over the area. I  gasped and then held onto his shoulders as his teeth sunk in. I hissed, gasping at the pain. Then it was unexplainable. Desire filled me and my legs felt like they were swiped from under me.  He released and then I fell limp in his arms, my eyes drooping down.

"It's okay. I'll be better when you wake up" surrounded by his warmth I drowned into darkness.

Ryder

Cold hands on my skin . Gripping my arm, shaking me. Maybe trying to wake me up. My eyes blinked open and widen at the sight of her. "Em?" She started crying and I got up, feeling my strength come back, grabbing her and pulling into my chest. She was sobbing at this point.

"Im sorry..I'm sorry" she held onto me saying sorry over and over and over again.

"Emerald? Why are you sorry? I'm sorry I didn't see this coming, I should've had a guard with you or I should've stuck with you, it's my fault you were taken" she shook her head and started to hiccup.

"N-no..Ryder I did something, s-something bad..y-you will hate me if I-I told you" she lifted up, tears still pouring down. I wiped them away with my thumb, looking at her with concern.

"Emerald I could never hate you, did something happen to you? What did they do to you?" She shook her head again and getting out of my grip, backing away.

"H-he.." her arms seemed to be clutching her stomach, almost like it was hurting.

"Gem, you have to tell me what happened for me to understand. I won't hate you. I would never" I walked up and slowly pulled her arms away from her stomach.

"They all say that Ryder. But with this news I will be a burden. A burden to the pack. A burden to my family. A burden to you" I rested my arms on her hips and she seemed uncomfortable, getting away from my grip. My eyebrows knotted together.

She went back to clutching her stomach and turned away from me.

"Em, just tell me, please"

"I...I had to do things to get out of there. I didn't mean to. It was the only way. He said he would kill you" she spoke in desperation, her eyes pleading.

"Do things? What did you do?"

"We...we had.." she released her scent to me and all I could smell was him. I felt anger burning within me.

He's touched what is mine.

She broke down in tears unable to speak anymore to me. I couldn't speak, staring at her in shock.
