Chapter 0069
| wake up, still handcuffed to the bed. This is the third tI've woken and each time, I'm getting weaker and
weaker.
I've only heard from Artemis once. She letknow that Eli is pumping us full of his venom each the marks
us. Apparently, he’s hoping that even though I'm not 18, with enough venom, he can push the mate bond on me.
So far, it hasn't worked. But that’s mostly because Artemis is saving her strength to burn off the venom each
the tries to mark us.
| take inventory of my surroundings. I'm in yet another shirt. There is a water bottle and a plate of food on the
table beside me. My stomach grumbles. | haven't caten much but | need the water more.
My shoulders are aching from being in this position for what must be a week or more. | shift around, pushing
myself toward the headboard trying to move my shoulders out of this strained position..
I'm finally able to sit up and give my shoulders a much needed release from the pull of being over my head for

silent.
The door opens and Eli comes in. He looks at his watch. “You are nothing if not prompt. Right on time. You've
been out two days again.”
“How long do you plan to keepa prisoner, Beta?”
He snarls at me. “Alpha.”
| make a point of sniffing the air. “Nope. | still don’t smell Alpha on you.
He sneers as me. “Since | have no idea how long it will be until your birthday, I'll just have to keep giving you my
venom. I've heard that with enough venom and completing the mating process, you can make an underage wolf
accept the mate bond.”
“You're disgusting, you know that?”
He begins walking over to me. “Am 1, mate?” He stresses the word again.
He reaches down and takes the plate of food. “Tto eat.” He picks up pieces of food and attempts to hand
feed me.
| turn my face away. “Not hungry.”

He grabs my chin and pulls my face around to his. “Of course you are. You've barely eaten all week. Eat!” He
barks it atand attempts to put a command behind it.
| snort at his feeble attempt as the command rolls offlike water over rocks. “I will accept nothing that you to
give me. Or should | say, force on me.” | glare at him as his hand squeezes my chin even tighter.
“Fine! Then we'll just keep doing it this way until you are too weak and your body final accepts my mate mark.”
In one quick movement, his hand grabs my hair and yanks my head to the side. He slams his canines into my

combat the venom in our system as the world goes dark again.
In my dazed state, | hear what sounds like a battle. Screams, crashing, things breaking. | can’t tell if it's real or if
