Rose Bailey: My Mate, My Flower Chapter 53

Rose's POV

"Where am I?" I thought as I looked around the strange room. I'm lying in bed in a king-sized bed. 

"You're awake," a man said. 

I sat on the bed and noticed a large man in his mid-twenties. His right eye was scarred. He approached me, and I moved away from him. 

"Stay away from me," I said, but he kept approaching. 

"You are mine," he said before attacking me. 

"Wake up, Flower." 

I jump out of bed in shock. When I looked over, I was relieved to see Derek looking at me with concern in his eyes. 

"Derek," I said, sitting back on the bed.

"It's me, baby. Are you okay?" he asked. 

"Yes! It was just a bad dream," I replied. 

We sat quietly for a moment, neither of us knowing what to say. 

"Flower, would you like to talk about what happened?" 

I looked over at him, wondering if it would be a good idea to talk to him about it. Finally, I decided to because he deserved to know everything. 

I started at the beginning. 

Rose's kidnapping 

I tried to run away when I got first kidnapped. That is when I noticed Vivian and Jacob. I had passed out because they injected me with something. I was in a room I had never seen when I woke up.

"You said you'd give me the witch," Jacob said. 

"Everything has changed. I plan on keeping her," I heard a man saying 

"Choe, you and I made a deal," Jacob grumbled. 

"He already told you that things had changed," Chloe said  

"You're not going to get the girl. I will kill you and your daughter if you do not leave." The man growled 

I knew Jacob had left when I heard the door slam shut. 

Chloe and the man entered my room, and I pretended to be unconscious. 

"Kitten, I know you're awake. Come on, let's go," A man said, and I looked up to see a man with a scarred eye and Chloe staring at me.

I stood up and thought about running, but then he spoke. 

"Don't try to run away. I'll catch you, and you don't want to see my dark side," he said. 

As he spoke, his eyes became red. 

"Let's go," Chloe said, and they led me to the front door. 

We formed a circle and held hands. Then, Chloe and the man started speaking in a different language. We were soon in another world. Now I understand it was an evil realm. 

We walked in silence for a while until we arrived at the big mansion. Chloe and the man led me to a room and locked the door. 

Chloe entered the room a little later. She sat on the bed, staring me in the eye.

"Do you know why I took you?"

I shook my head no. 

"It's because of your mother. Do you know how bad my life was before I left the Thunder Moon Pack? They treated me like an animal. They would starve and beat me whenever they wanted. Because I was a witch, I wasn't even allowed to go to school or play outside," She said. 

I looked at her, confused. 

"What does that have to do with my mother?" I asked. 

Before replying, she let out an evil laugh. 

"My parents wouldn't have sent me there if your mother hadn't been born. So instead, I would have been sent to Blood Moon Pack and lived the life she had," She said. 

I was still confused because I couldn't figure out how my mother was the cause of her bad luck. She then said some words in another language and changed into someone else. 

Her skin was caramel, her hair was black and curly, and her eyes were hazel. 

I couldn't hide the surprised look on my face. 

"I'm sure you're wondering how I changed my appearance. This is how I truly appear. When I left Thunder Moon, I disguised myself so no one would notice me. I went to Blood Moon Pack to find your mother. I was shocked to see that she had a good life. So I decided to make her pay because it should have been mine. If you still don't understand, I am your mother's sister," She said, and I couldn't help the gasp that escaped my mouth.

That's when she told me about drugging my father at a party and then returning three years later to drug him again and make my father feel a mate bond with her.

She soon left, and the man with the scar on his eye entered the room. 

"I'm sure you're wondering what I want with you," he asked. 

"Why did you kidnap me?" I asked. 

He came over to the bed and sat beside me. I flinched as he moved a strand of my hair away from my face. His touch sent chills through my body. I didn't like it when he touched me. 

"You are very powerful. More powerful than anyone in the world," he said. 

I looked up at him, confused. 

"I believe you have me confused with someone else. I can't even control my powers," I admitted. 

"Not yet, but I will teach you," he said,

"I want to go home," I said. 

He seemed irritated when I said that. 

"What do you want to go home to?" That worthless Alpha you have. He is not worthy of your time. I'm the person you're supposed to be with. You're mine," He attacked me, ripping my shirt.

End of Kidnapping

"That's when you entered the room and stabbed him. You rescued me." I said as I hugged Derek. 

I didn't want him to let me go. He made me feel secure and at ease. 

"Don't worry, Flower. Nobody will ever take you away from me," Derek said while holding me close to him. 

"I have something to tell you, Flower. We should have the other in here when I tell you. Let's get ready, and then I'll call the others so we can talk," Derek said.

"All right," I said as I walked to the bathroom to take a shower. 

I knew whatever he wanted to talk to me about was important.
