Alexia Eden (FairyTales Don't Exist)(56)

"Drake! Don't do this to me! Please … don't … . I love you, I do, I  swear … why are you doing this? Just let me go! Please!!" I beg him  through my cries trying to get my hand loose from the leather belt but  it won't budge and my wrists are becoming raw.

"I love you too Lexi, that is exactly why I'm doing this! You need to be  put in your place and the next time someone touches you, you will  remember this! You think you can leave me when you wish? I put a lot of  time and effort into our relationship and I'll be dammed if I have to  see you with another man. You think you can leave me? What will happen  to Ronny when you leave? Or that pathetic excuse for a human, Chloe?  Ronny is a strong wolf but not as strong as a beta, I can rip them to  shreds and make it look like a rogue. If you leave me that's exactly  what I will do! Then I will come looking for you and make everyone you  love pay for your stupidity. No more Alex. No more Johnny." he says  through gritted teeth as he climbs back on the bed, I see him bend the  thin belt so that he's holding both ends in one hand and I cry out and  thrash about.

After those final words I know my fate with him is sealed. I won't allow him to hurt anyone else.

His large rough hands are on my underwear as he rips them off, he puts  his hands roughly on either side of my hips pulling my lower body off  the bed, my naked body on display for him, he wants to humiliate me and  he's done just that. He pulls me with such force that I have no choice  but to submit as I continue to cry out for him to stop. With one quick  motion he lifts the belt and whips me, it's loud and sounds as  horrifying as it feels. I scream out in pain into the pillow that is  covered with the blood from my face.         

     



 

"Feels good..." Drake grunts from behind me as he lifts the belt again, I  hear it whistle through the air before it hits my flesh again, this  time harder and I can already feel the skin from where he's belted me  starting to welt.

He continues to beat me, breaking my heart with each whip. He's rough  and fast and it hurts like nothing I've experience before. I continue to  cry as I feel liquid slide down my back and down the back of my legs  but the fact that I'm bleeding doesn't faze him as he continues to lash  me roughly continuously grunting and growling out "you deserve this for  betraying me!" and I know it's the truth.

"You can't leave me! You disrespect me again and I will do so much worse and you know it!" he growls making my stomach turn.

"You love me Lexi you do!" he says in a softer voice.

"Tell me you love me?" he says softer but I say nothing.

"Tell me!" He barks as he whips me again.

"I love you, I love you." I cry out.

"Again!" he yells with another whip.

"I love you!" I cry out and my body shakes in sobs.

He continues this mantra for another six whippings. My body falls  dazedly down onto the mattress as I stare numbly at the blood that is  now trailing down my arm from my wrist being sliced open by the leather  belt that holds them together. The pain is still there but I'm no longer  crying or shaken with fear. I lay there emotionless as Drake continues  to break me apart; my body is battered and bruised just as the inside of  me is.

My body continues to move back and forth on the mattress by the harsh  force of the belt being slapped against my back and bare ass. I'm silent  now, the only sound apart from the belt hitting my flesh is the bed  squeaking beneath me and Drakes animalistic grunts.

I stare as the blood drips from my raised elbow onto the bare mattress  since the sheet has come loose due to my struggling, I watch as the  mattress absorbs the drop of blood, the drop is gone but the stain from  it is still there and will most probably be damaged forever, just how I  absorb all the pain Drake inflicts on me, although he's doing this to me  now … eventually the bruises and cuts will fade but he's ruined me,  forever.

I tune everything out as I lean on my elevated arm and continuously  stare at the dripping blood. I feel Drakes pace slow and my entire back  and ass is numb and stiff, I hear the belt drop to the floor. I should  probably feel happy or some sort of relief that he's done but I don't. I  don't feel anything. He leans over me and gives my shoulder a soft kiss  before he gets off the bed. I hear him as he puts his shirt on, he  doesn't say a word, he pulls the belt tightly trying to loosen my bloody  wrists causing more pain but I continue to lay there and take it  …  In  some sick way I'm relieved he only intended on beating me, he could've  done much worse.

The belt loosens and my wrists come loose, I can't feel my arms at this  point and they fall onto the bed sluggishly as I continue to lie there  still …  emotionless. I watch from beneath the hair that covers my face as  he pulls his blood covered belt away and walks from the bed putting his  belt back on his jeans. He moves to the other side of the bed as he  switches the light off leaving me in darkness as he walks towards the  door, I hear his footsteps stop as he looks at my battered naked body  then he walks out. I hear keys rattling then a door slam, a few seconds  later I hear a car skid off into the distance.

I continue to lay their frozen afraid the monster might return. I lay there unable to sleep or move in the darkness of the room.





CHAPTER 34:


CHLOE POV

It's lunch time and we're all sitting at the cafeteria, Jax has some  random girl hanging off his shoulder. Ever since Lexi went to stay at  the other pack house Jax has gone back to his old ways with the girls.  Drake has been weird all day, you would think he would be excited to see  Lexi since she's staying here this weekend but he's been quiet and  depressed looking. Ronny is happy that Lexi is here and we are all  excited to go out to dinner tonight with her.

"What's up with you bud?" Jax asks throwing a fry onto Drakes food tray trying to get his attention.

"Nothing just tired...." Drake replies.

"What? Long night with Lexi?" Ronny teases and I see Jax tense. I know what Ronny's mission is...make Jax jealous.

"Something like that." Drake mumbles as he gets up with his tray and walks out the lunch room, leaving Jax clenching his jaw.

I excuse myself to go to the bathroom but on my way there I feel my  phone vibrate in my pocket. I make my way into the stall before I answer  the phone seeing Lexi's name appear on the screen, she usually doesn't  call me.         

     



 

"Hello Lex! What's up?" I say happily into the phone but as soon as I  hear Lexi's muffled voice on the other end I i know something is wrong.

"I need your help but... if you help me....you have to keep whatever I  ask you and whatever you see between the two of us. You can't even tell  Ronny." she begs as I hear her start to cry. I'm grateful that she felt  she could trust me in helping her so I promise I will keep it between us  as she continues.

"Can you please come to the trailer, if you have any pain medicine it  would help, as well as some antiseptic or something that can clear  wounds? Don't tell anyone Chlo...please." She cry's into the speaker.

"I'm on my way." I don't ask questions, I leave the school telling them  I'm sick, I don't have the next three lessons with Ronny so she won't  notice me missing until last period which gives me time. I stop at the  pharmacy and buy the things Lexi asked for along with a few extra  supplies. I make my way over to where Lexi is and mentally prepare  myself for what I'm about to see.

As I walk into the dark house I panic, I could have never been prepared  for what I was seeing when I switched her bedroom light on. Lexi was  lying curled up in the middle of the bed clutching a blood stained  blanket. Her naked back facing me and I could see the bruises covering  her back and her bare arm. Her back is covered in welts and long slits  of dried blood. Someone whipped her, the marking is all too obvious. I  walk closer as I watch her lay there frozen staring at the curtains that  cover her window.

"What happened Lexi!" I cry out as I rush to her side, her one eye is  swollen shut and her face is covered in dry blood with a few scratches  on her face. I look at her wrists and I gasp, they are slit the whole  way around, the skin raw, I lift my hand to move the blooded piece of  hair stuck to her forehead and she flinches away from me wincing.

"Oh my God, who did this? What happened?" I ask her leaning my knees onto the floor in front of her so I'm at eye level.

She just stares numbly over my shoulder at the curtain as she mumbles distantly, "Drake..."

My eyes widen as the shock takes over, how could he do this to her? I  quickly pull the curtains opens trying to get more light into the room  so I can access the damage. I need to get her out of here.

"We need to tell Jax about this or his dad, Drake needs to be punished.  He can't get away with doing this to you!" I yell and notice her wince.
