After Sarah and Alexis retrieved the key from Damon's drawer, Sarah began to move towards the basement, taking one baby step at a time. Within five minutes time, she was standing in front of the basement door with the key wrapped up tightly in her hand. She was dreading meeting Damon at the moment. It was funny how a few moments back, she was gushing about how he was interested in her and now, she was scared shitless to even approach him. Things had changed in that short length of time after one single revelation

"You're his mate, he's bound to listen to whatever you say. You just need to convince him! Tell him you'll never forgive him if he hurts me!" Those were the words Alexis had left with her but Sarah wasn't sure she could pull it off. It wasn't as easy as she said.

Right now, her whole body was trembling and even her legs were threatening to take off in the other direction. But the only thing that was keeping her standing by the door... was Alexis. This was all for Alexis. If Sarah turned back now, then her life would be in danger.

Gulping thickly, Sarah stuffed the key into the designated keyhole and twisted before lightly pushing the door open. According to Alexis, Damon was supposed to arrive here in a few minutes and when he does, he would be expecting to see Alexis lying wait for her next punishment. The plan was for Sarah to go there instead of her and try to convince him but in the case that she doesn't manage to do so, Alexis would flee elsewhere. That was the plan and Sarah was sadly the core of it. Sarah took a long glance down the staircase below her then wrapped a hand around herself as she begun to descend whilst her eyes casted from one direction to the next. There was barely any light in the room, so Sarah could hardly even see. How did Damon plan to punish Alexis in such a dark place? Then again, he was a werewolf, his eyesight might still be perfect even in the dark.

But just as Sarah stepped down the last stair, a deep rumble pulled her from her thoughts.

"You are the one...the one who's mated to the alpha King." Out from the darkness, there came a man, a feral-looking, red-eyed man who's appearance and aura screamed 'ROGUE'. This man wasn't Damon, this was a rogue.

Rogues...They were feral werewolves who had lost most of their sanity. All they did was kill, kill and kill. That's all. Werewolves have been trying to wipe them all out for a while now, but haven't succeeded. This man was one of them, one of those feral creatures who could kill her without even blinking.

This was bad, really bad.

Sarah took a step back, the sound of her heart beat reaching her ears loud and clear. Budump...Budump...one heartbeat after another, hitting her chest with such intense pain.

"I'm sure you were expecting to see your mate..." He grinned devilishly. Sarah could hear the mockery in his voice at the mention of the word mate. "But I've been asked to keep you company. Hopefully, I won't bore you to death.”

“I've been asked to keep you company'...After those word reached her ears, Sarah realized that this wasn't just some mere coincidence. This was a setup...something planned by none other than Alexis. But what was her goal? To get her killed?

Sarah's terror grew impossibly higher, so much so that she could hardly even breath. The man looked over her terrified figure in a very unsettling way and his eyes threw her that look that Mr. Knack usually gave her whenever he was about to punish her.

Sarah's feet chose that's time to feel heavy, but she would have it. She forced her feet backwards inch by inch, sweat rolling down the sides of her face due to how anxious she was becoming. As she moved backwards, she kept her eyes trained on him cautiously.

His ribs were jutting out disgustingly, giving the idea that he hadn't eaten in a long while. His cheeks were hollow, his lips were dried and chapped and there was a bloody chain connecting his hands to the wall. Sarah's eyes happened to have trailed along his shackles...that was when she found that it had been severed somewhere in the centre. There was nothing keeping him from hurting her..nothing that was restraining him from rushing forward and slitting her throat with his claws...nothing at all.

Sarah dropped her stare. Now wasn't the time to look around...now was the time to run...run for her life! At that point, the heaviness in her feat was long forgotten. Now there was only adrenaline coursing through her. She turned on her feet and made a dash for the stairs. Her right foot was about to land on the first stair when fingers grabbed unto her hair and yanked her backwards, causing her to stumble back and collide with his chest.

She was too late...or rather too slow.

The feeling of his hard, calloused skin on hers, made her completely drain of colour. His fingers grazed her neck as he reached around and gathered her hair in both hands from behind, so he could rest his chin atop her shoulder.

His breath fanned the skin of her cheeks, tensing her muscles and stopping her breaths. The feeling was repulsive as it was terrifying.

"You're one stupid woman." He cackled, yellow teeth on full display. One of his hands released her hair and travelled around her waist then up her chest, running over her breast. He had already taken out his claws judging by the slight sting that she felt as his fingers ran over her. "It's kinda hard to believe that you're the Alpha King's mate.”

The feeling of helplessness that suddenly overwhelmed Sarah, caused tears to leave her eyes in abundance. She couldn't do anything in that moment, nothing at all except to stand and take whatever he had in store for her.

Pain...she didn't want to feel it, but if she stayed in this position or if she tried to escape his clutches, pain would be exactly what she would feel.

One thing was for sure...she was doomed.

Sarah gathered the last of her courage and tightened her hold on the key as she began to stutter, "please don't hurt me.” She knew she sounded and looked pitiful, but she didn't care. Her life was at stake. She had to atleast beg for mercy.

"Oh, I won't hurt you..." He assured, sliding his fingers between her breast then encircling it's outline through her clothes. "Your mate is the one who'll deal with you..."

Before Sarah could even try to figure out what he meant, the rogue removed his hands from her body and slammed his palms down on both sides of her head. Pain immediately engulfed her, even her ears stopped functioning as normal.

Little by little, black dots started to cloud her vision until all she could see was complete

darkness. AMMAANAAANANAAA
