The Delta's Daughter Chapter 116

KELLEN

The pull of the boat had my guts sloshing around again as I felt it come to a slow and begin to turn. The heavy creaking sound of the metal and the crash of shallow waves made the large transport sway, and in turn, my body was tugged left and right, making my restraints rub harder on my sore joints and dug into the bleeding wrists more, as I attempted to stay upright and on my feet.

Darrius unlocked my cage and, wearing a thick pair of gloves, produced two pairs of silver, thick cuffs with spikes on the inside of them.

I immediately recognized what they were. Lamia and Mike had given me detailed descriptions of the spiked cuff things they used to restrain Lamia and keep her wolf subdued.

He clamped them first around my ankles, making sure they were tight. The heavy chain connecting the two cuffs rattled as he placed them.

The spikes pierced through my skin and the silver burned. He tightened them more until I could feel those sharp points digging into my bone. I bit back the hiss that threatened to leave my lungs as the foreign objects made pain radiate from my ankles.

He then released my arms from the hook that the metal chains were shackled to.

Pulling my arms behind my back and securely fastened similar spiked restraints on my wrists. My already raw skin began itching and burning from the contact with the silver. The prongs, penetrate through the bone like hot skewers.

No sooner did Darrius have the new restraints fastened tightly on me, than he then brought out a needle ready to inject me with a liquid that held a slight green tinge to it, otherwise clear.

I bucked my body and swiveled around, trying to avoid being pricked by it. My movements were still limited and he overpowered me easily. I threw a head butt at him when he grabbed my arms, managing to bust his nose, but he recovered quickly and stuck the needle into my neck.

I dropped to the floor like my body had suddenly been weighted down. the heaviness of my limbs growing by the second and my head began to pound and my sight dazed.

I wasn’t knocked out but I felt like a zombie-like I was jacked up on copious amounts of belladonna and alcohol.

“Fucking ranked wolves,” I heard Darrius groan viciously, hand over his nose, retreating from the cage and mumbling something about not being paid enough.

I slumped into the corner, drained of energy, with a depleted life force. I was utterly screwed and I was losing hope.

My thoughts again, go back to Lamia, and the time when she had been kidnapped by Silas. Recollecting how long it took us to find her and the fact that we only found her due to a lucky break. They had to find me, right I mean how does a King go missing and no one notices Someone had to see or know how I got on this boat.

I just hoped Mike would figure out where I was soon before it was too late. Because Goddess knows, I have no clue where I am or even what continent we will be docking at.

I couldn’t make sense of any of this.

A little while later, after the boat had been still for a while and I could see the beam of light begin to fade, the sound of heavy clanking footsteps reached my ears again and the dim lighting from the single bulb began to give out a low yellow glow.

“Get the cage open Darrius, the sooner this wolf fuck is off my boat, the better.” The man with the stained shirt and stale breath huffed to my tormentor.

“Aye Pete, with pleasure.” Darrius crowed.

So that was his name, Pete. I thought, finally learning the name of the other grotesque piece of shit. If I live through whatever the fuck this shit is, I promised myself right there, that I would come back for Pete and Darrius.

Darrius unlocked the cage, coming in with his thick gloves, and grabbed the metal chain that linked the two cuffs on my wrists. Yanking me harshly to my feet, after a few stumbles and dragging me out of the cage I had been in for the past few days, I managed to find my footing.

He pulled me out of the hull and into a long corridor; he then pushed me towards the metal set of stairs that sat in the middle of it. “Up” he gave the command, pushing me again to walk up the steps.

At the top stood two men, holding what looked to be; long cattle prods. Ready to corral or tase my naked ass if I thought of stepping out of line or fighting back. I highly assumed these prods carried a much higher voltage than that of the ones I have known of and would most definitely put me on my ass in an instant without the presence of my wolf.

I was led up and out through a gangway and onto a metal walkway that connected to the docks. The fresh air was heaven to my senses and I gulped it up. Briefly letting my eyes close before, I was prodded in the back and shoved forward.

My skin relished the warm night air, the slight breeze made me acutely aware of my open wounds, but I didn’t care, I was happy to be out of that cage.

The docks were quiet this time of night, the usual hustle and bustle of cargo loaders and workers, I assumed had gone home for the night. I had only visited a port once when my father took me with him on a business trip. We had gone to a large harbor city to oversee some export goods that were being shipped out and my father had some business to take care of with one of our import/export companies.

Darrius pulled me along until I was standing next to four other men and a group of around eight women, who were huddled together, equally as naked. I lifted my nose and scented them discretely. They were a mixed group; at least 3 wolves, 2 cats, and a bear. The other two held the scent of humans.

The four men smelled like wolves but were weak, so I assumed they were Omega’s, lesser-ranking wolves.

I bit my cheek in anger, wanting to lash out at the fuckers who had kidnapped these women and men. Without Conri, it was no use, I would just be putting myself and the other captives in harm’s way if I tried anything. Despite not being able to punish these fuckers, I was still seething. It made my blood boil.

If I ever, no… when I got out of this mess I would personally see to having this type of bullshit stop. I would shut it the fuck down. I was honestly not just bat shit angry but disgusted that this type of thing, trafficking, was happening in my kingdom.
