Mikayla's P.O.V

He picked me up and set me down in the back of an unknown vehicle. I could smell the strong scent of gasoline. I could hear the loud roar of the engine. To my displeasure, he put locked me into chains that weren't every restricting, but still kept me from running away, then shut the door and walked over to the front seat.

"What's your name, jackass," I snapped.

He didn't seem fazed by my tiny outburst, "I'm Cade. But you can think of me as a new and improved Xavier."

I rolled my eyes at that. Xavier was much more hot than this guy.

After a few minutes of driving through the forest, my body started to rebel against the rough terrain.

I was starting to feel nauseous from the bumpy ride.

"Hey, jackass. Are we almost to my grave?" I rudely snap. This was almost like when Xavier kidnapped me, but I didn't like this dude even the tiniest bit.

"Actually, yes. But I'm not going to kill you. You're my precious mate. Now, just sit back and relax, we'll be there in five minutes."

I groan. I start feeling really bloated. It was getting harder to breathe. I stretched the arms as far as they could and leaned toward the from seat. I tossed my cookies all over the passenger seat.

"What the heck? Why didn't you just puke back there?" Cade stopped the van and turned around.

"If I had to sit back here with my own vomit, I would puke even more," I felt much better now that it was out of my body.

As soon as he sat down, I pulled the bag off my head, which was drenched in vomit, and wrapped it around both my hands so there was a long piece between my two hands. I lunged toward Cade and tried to wrap the bag around his neck. But he swiftly grabbed the bag and pulled it out of my hands, turning around in the process. I fell onto my back and Cade was on his knees, still towering over me.

"You shouldn't have down that, baby. Now I have to punish you," he grinned evilly.

Tears sprung from my eyes as he moved closer toward my weak body.

He punched me square in the face, knocking my head into the floor of the car. He then unlaced his belt from his pants and held it up in the air. By now, I was full-on crying. He brought the whip down onto my skin, sending a burn throughout that small area of my body.

I curled up into a weak fetal position. My whole body was burning from the the repetitive hits on my skin. After he covered what seemed like my whole body, he put his belt back on and climbed back into the driver's seat.

"Think twice before doing ANYTHING like that again," he gritted out. I whimpered in submission, but something inside me told me to stand up for myself.

My body was covered in blood, sweat, and salty tears. I lulled myself to sleep, thinking of Xavier.

I woke up on a damp concrete floor. The disgusting smell of feces and blood made it way up into my stinging nose. The room was dimly lit with a flickering light bulb. My hand was supporting me in a sticky substance.

"Oh look, the princess has awoken," Cade maliciously narrates. I whipped my head in his direction and fear filled my tear-crusted eyes.

"Don't worry, I won't hurt you. Well, I may do a few things that may hurt, but it won't be the main purpose. I'll only do that if you pull another one of your risky stunts," he warns.

I bring my knees up to my sweat-covered chest.

"I'm sorry, Cade. What do you want from me?" I whimpered.

"I want you. Along with the suffering of Xavier, your precious mate," he spit.

"Why are you doing this? Why do you want these things?"

"Because if I mate you, it will ruin my idiotic brother. His pack will fall apart without an Alpha. So, I will have to take over."

"Xavier is your brother," I asked, dumbfounded.

"Of course he is," he spit onto the musty floor, "the perfect twin. He had the best grades, hair, styles, personality. Everyone loved him. Except me. I hated that jerk. He stole my life. He even became the Alpha of the pack that was supposed to be mine," he took a swig of beer that was lying beside him.

He let out an anger-filled groan and continued, "This is my revenge on my brother. The better twin. The major catch. The High School heartthrob. I've waited too many years for this to happen. I've spent the last year building up my loyalty to King Vladimir just to I could capture you." My mouth opened agape at the information.

Cade was Xavier's twin?

"Why do you want me? I'm a nobody."

"Baby, you're the total opposite. You're the only one who Xavier would do anything for. The person who he has dreamt about for his whole life. The only person that he loves with all his cold heart. It would ruin him if his mate had sex with another man. If I'm lucky, he may even commit suicide," he moved his face closer to me so his putrid breath hit my cheek.

I gagged on his onion-smelling breath.

He knocked me onto my back and caged my with his arms. He forced his cracked lips onto my salty ones. His lips forced mine to open. I tried my hardest to push my tongue away from his invading one, but his sloppy kiss was too forceful. He continued to leave slobbery kisses down my jaw and down to my chest. I tried to smack his head away, but he grabbed my wrists tightly, causing me to wince.

He made his way back up to my neck. He found my beautiful mark and bit it, causing pain to pulsate up and down my shaking body. I cried out in devastating pain.

He kissed the mark before elongating his canines and sinking them into my mark. I screamed as loud as I could in agony. My shriek bounced off the metal walls and faded away. Blood poured out of the teeth marks and onto the floor, adding another smell to the mixture.

I started to cry again.

"Fuck, baby. The mark isn't doing anything!" He angrily punched the ground right next to my face. I shielded myself from his fury.

"I'm sorry, baby. I didn't mean to scare you," he cooed tenderly. It made me want to fûcking throw up. He grabbed my face with his grimy hands and caressed my cheek. It felt like he was rubbing sandpaper on me.

"Get off me!" I tried to push his fat body off me, but he was too heavy.

"Never, baby. You're mine now."
