The Barter Novel Sierra and Xavier

I lean back against the wall to stare.

Chaos filled the infirmary.

Chloe was busy screamind orders, while 5 other doctors were injecting and pumping her with different medicines.

Transparent pipes were rooted in her nose, those pale lips were covered by an oxygen mask.

5 injections were injected into her frail arm in the past one minute and Chloe looked tensed staring at the machine with vitals.

The line was red, the digits were dropping.

“Her heart is weak.

It’s slowing down.

Proceed to artificial pump.

”

Next I know, the doctors rip apart the flimsy maid top covering her top.

Chloe places a hand held pump on her petite chest.

And on count of three.

Her lifeless body jolted with the electric current.

Her back arches and her entire body convulsed.

“Again!”

The procedure was repeated and I suddenly felt strange staring at her, struggling there for life and death.

“She doesn’t deserve it Xav.

It isn’t her fault.

She is innocent in

all this.

”

Dom’s earlier words repeat in my mind.

And that feeling in my chest worsens.

中

Innocent? She saw her father torture my Reb yet she did nothing? Seeing a sin and not stopping it, is a bigger sin.

She deserves this.

I shouldn’t give two fucks if she ends up dying the next second.

I am sure this is another trick to gain sympathy.

A few more minutes pass and Chloe sighs to clean the sweat on her forehead.

She orders her team and excuses herself to come closer to me.

“Alpha”

My silence permits her to continue.

“Traces of a heavy toxic substance was found in her blood stream.

It’s a case of serious poisoning.

“It could be an attempt to suicide.

But nothing could be confirmed until she admits.

”

My fists clench.

The little concern I felt for her earlier morphs into rage.

This little bitch! She did this herself.

Why am I not surprised.

A pathetic coward, indeed.All content is © N0velDrama.Org.

If she wanted to die, she would have better done it before showing up at our marriage.

Or was this the plan entirely? She knew if something happens to her on my lands, the council will blame me for it.

I will be stripped off my position and it would be easy for her father to bring down Red moon.

This shrewd woman!

Why didn’t I realise it earlier.

A growl escapes my lip and I see everyone stepping back from me in fear.

Clenching my fist, I stare at her serene face.

“Is she alive?”

“Y–yes Alpha.

We were able to save her but her heart is too

meek.

It’s a suggestion to take good care-*

“Ron!”

The Beta rushes in and I declare.

Stepping closer to her pale body on the hospital bed.

“Prepare the dark room.

”

A gasp echoes around as everyone stared at me.

They were seeing a monster, I know but who cared.

This girl just brings out the worst side on me.

“I said now!”

Ron knew better not to question.

Nodding he leaves while Chloe dares to question me.

“Your Highness, the patient is too weak.

You shouldn’t –”

“Everyone.

Out.

Now!”

No one dared.

Looking at the girl in pity, the staff leaves.

Leaving me alone with her.

My finger involuntarily trail her freezing cheek to press against

her lip, a smirk forms on my lip.

She wants to die huh?

She will be begging for it once I am done with her.

Wrapping my fingers around her pale wrists I lift up her hand to tie them with a bandage wrap.

Tugging on the tubes attached to her hand,I pick up her feather weighing body.

Proceeding towards my favourite room.

It’s been a while since I have been in the dark room.

I can bet it’s gonna be fun.

Sierra’s pov

“Help! Someone help! Pleaseeese! Nooooo!”

My ears were bleeding hearing a woman’s cries.

I hid behind a tree, staring at the little hut at the outskirts of our pack.

They torture her everyday.

The entire pack can hear her screams but no one does anything.

Tears trail my eyes and my hurt churns in her pains.

How… how can these people be so heartless?

I know Dad has given strict orders.

No one is to help her.

But he is wrong.

I will never stand with torturing an innocent.

And that too a woman?

What was her sin? Only this that she was married to him?

Half an hour passed and like every night, her screams die down.

The old wooden door is pushed open and out walk 3 men.

Arrogant smirks plastered on their faces.

“The bitch has got some nerve.

She is too arrogant to submit.

”

“She still thinks that pretentious bastard Alpha mate of hers will come to save her.

”

The third one rolls his eyes.

“As if? By the time he finds her? She will be nothing but a broken toy.

”

They lock the door behind and leave while I sneak in to reach one of the windows.

Patrol is everywhere.

escape, but the least I can do is help her.

Making sure no one is looking, I kick the window to roll in.

Sighing I look up and I wish I hadn’t.

She… she was tied and tortured brutally.

Her skin was peeled and her clothes stay torn.

Animals.

These people are nothing but animals.

How can they treat her like this? How can my own father order something like this?

Gulping, I reach her to pick up her head and place it in my lap.

Her beautiful blue eyes open and she looks at me blankly.

“Here.

Drink this.
