Mated To The King’s Gamma By Jessica Hall

Chapter 50

Abbie

Two days had passed, and Kade had left me to rot in this brothel. He came to torment me every day, so I wasn’t surprised to see a woman walk in when the door opened. However, I was surprised to find it was the woman that used to park outside the cabin.

Her heels click on the floorboards. Today she wore a short black dress, and I could see the outline of her thong; it was that tight. I look away, back at the wall where I sat in the corner. She was here to inject me with more of the shit Kade had been using on me, or so I suspected. I will not cry. She did not deserve my tears. I kind of wished Blaire would come back. I wanted to know she was okay, and I hadn’t seen her since the night I was brought here.

The woman crouches next to me and grips my chin, forcing me to meet her gaze. She sneers, shoving my face away. “Kade is on his way, and you will be on your best behavior for my husband,” she says.

I gulp. Her words stung, but she could have him. I wanted nothing to do with the man, and I felt foolish for not believing Gannon. Felt stupid that I actually thought I would have some sort of happiness.

“Seems your little friend, that bitch of a Queen of yours has been asking about you, you do anything to jeopardize the life I have with Kade, and he won’t be the one you need to fear.I will order every pack warrior to run through you, treat you like the home-wrecking whore you are.” she says turning her chin up at me.

I can’t help but laugh. Of course, that piece of shit’s wife was just as depraved as he was. “Must have really sucked when you learned he had a mate.” I tell her, glaring at the woman.

She slaps me before gripping my hair and yanking my head back, making me grit my teeth.

“Accidents happen. Remember that. This is my pack. Kade is my mate. You will learn your place,” she says.

“My place isn’t here. And you should mind your own business. Ivy will come for me,” I snarl at her, and she laughs before gripping my throat.

“Why do you think Kade is coming? To see you?” she laughs, clicking her tongue.

“Your friend wan’t be an issue after today. Kade is only keeping you, so he doesn’t become weak. You do well to remember that you are nothing to him. Just a warm hole to fuck,” she says when the door opens again.

His scent wafts to me before I see him, the bond recognizing him instantly. I now despise the reaction he stirs. I want his blood, and I hate that he can easily influence me the way it does.

“Ah, there are my girls. Having a chat, I see,” Kade says, walking in wearing a tailored suit, and the woman lets me go and rises to her feet.

“Abbie dear, I see you have met my wife, Cassandra. Pretty, isn’t she?” he says, sweeping her hair off her shoulder before cupping her neck and jamming his filthy tongue down her throat. I avert my gaze, relishing the pain that is now coursing through my chest. When he had finished his disgusting display of affection, he spoke with venom in his voice.

“Now, the Queen has decided she wants to video chat with you today. She found out about Cassandra. And you love, will convince her everything is peachy, and that you are happy here,” Kade says, walking over to me and gripping my arm. He yanks me to my feet. Yet excitement bubbles within me. Nobody knew me better than Ivy. She knew my darkest secrets, my biggest shames. She would see through any facade Kade tried to put up.

Kade pushes me on the bed and grips my face and I try to pull away from his grip. When he kisses me, I am nearly tempted to bite his filthy tongue but learned last night not to do that after he knocked me out cold. My jaw still throbbed even this morning.

“It won’t work. Ivy will know something is wrong.” I spit at him when he stops.

“Now I had a funny feeling that you would say that, so I have a motivator for you,” he whistles, and I hear a struggle outside and a woman’s shrill cries and that of a baby. My heart leaps in my chest, and I get to my feet as a woman in lingerie is tossed on the floor on her knees, a baby clutched in her arms that was barely a few months old. I glared at the man who shoved her before turning my attention to Kade.

“Now you will put on your best performance. Abbie, meet Stacey. Stacey, this Abbie,” he says, and I swallow as he grips her hair, ripping her head back.

“Now Stacey, Abbie, over here is the one who decides if little Jacob here is going to get to live another day,” he says. Tears stream down her face. The baby was bundled up, clutched in her arm, and tucked to her chest. Her mascara runs down her cheeks as she looks at me pleadingly. Her bright red hair stuck to her face as tears smudged her makeup and lines trekked into her foundation.

Kade reaches for the boy in her arms, but I speak before he grabs him as she tries to fight him off.

“I’ll do it! You touch one hair on that baby or her head and I will refuse to do anything you ask. Leave her!” I snap at him, and he pauses his outstretched hand. He stands and clicks his tongue, letting her hair go, and she crawls quickly over to me, holding the baby with one hand,

stopping by my feet. Kade snarls at her and goes to grab her, but I step over her, putting myself between them.

“Seems you do have a backbone after all,” Kade says.

“It will do you no good here. You fuck this up, you watch them die,” he adds.

“You touch them, and you die,” I tell him. I was the only thing standing in the way of having Ivy get the king here. And I knew she would cause hell in the castle for me because if our roles were reversed, I would do the same.

Kade nods and looks at Cassandra, who smiles sweetly before tugging her handbag off her shoulder. She pulled a smaller bag out that was clear and contained makeup. I sat on the edge of the bed, knowing exactly what would happen next. Mrs. Daley was good at this facade, too. When she wanted sponsors and she would cover our scars, she had plenty of times. If I can survive that bitch, I could survive anything.

Stacey cringes away from her, and Cassandra raises her hand to hit her when Stacey accidentally bumps into her. Rage courses through me, and I grip her wrist. We stand off for a few seconds. Cassandra is clearly shocked I would grab her, especially in front of Kade, who she was expecting to jump to her rescue, but he only chuckles.

“Now, now, ladies, no fighting,” he says, sitting in the chair in the corner beside the bed.

“You don’t want to jeopardize that future you want so badly, do you?” I ask her, and she glares at me. Belongs to (N)ôvel/Drama.Org.

“You are asking for death, girlie!” she spits, yanking her arm away.

“Good thing I don’t fear death. But I bet you do,” I tell her, and she glares at me. I sit on the bed, and Kade clicks his fingers impatiently at her.

I shut down, letting her play dress-up, solely focused on keeping the woman at my feet and her baby safe from these monsters, Kade remained the entire time taunting me as she dressed me up.

If I tried to resist, which I never did, he just saw my flinching when Cassandra would poke and prod a little too hard, as me being defiant. Even when she poked me in the eyes with a mascara brush she’smacked me up the back of the head.

I glare at her and she sneers. “Stay still!” she snapped as she finished my makeup. When she is done, Kade does an assessment before nodding and waving her closer.

“You did good, my love,” he purrs, kissing her and I stare off at Stacey, refusing to show so much as a sliver of pain. When they were done with their affections, which was enough to make anyone sick with the way they sucked on each other’s faces, Kade dropped the phone in my lap before gripping my face. His fingers wrap around my throat tightly threateningly.

“You do a single thing that causes me trouble, I will not only kill Stacey’s baby, but I will drive all the way to your Tyson in Silver Creek pack, and bring him here before tying the little brat to a damn tree and making you watch as he burns alive,” he snarls.

I swallow not doubting he would do just that. After seeing so many atrocities in this place, I now saw the monster he truly was.

“Now you be a good girl, and do as I say. I may even reconsider letting my men have you for the night. They have been looking forward to having a go at the girl whose ass is so tight, it’s all the butcher could talk about when I visited Alpha Brock,” he sneered.

My blood ran cold at the mention of the butcher, tears prick my eyes and Stacey whimpered behind me. Cassandra laughed, and I felt the blood drain from my body at his words.

Kade laughs, a sickening cackle leaving him. “You think I didn’t know?” My face heats as shame fills me and I fight the memories that were trying to overwhelm me.

“Oh yes, Brock has quite a lot to say about you when I asked about that stupid brat for you. And to think I was willing to let you keep the boy until you betrayed me. He told me how Doyle wanted to keep you. Apparently, fought him real hard before your hearing trying to obtain you.” Kade says as he lets me go.

“I always wondered who he spoke of the few times I met him. I thought you were his mate with the wild fantasies he had of you,” kade taunts. Cassandra snorts a laugh at his words.

“I wonder if he wants another go at her? Maybe we could invite him to stay.” Cassandra sneers at me. Kade seems thoughtful for a second before his eye darken. “Shut up! No one asked for your input!” Kade snaps at her, making her fall quiet.

“Now, you will behave and sit through the phone call. If you try to alert your little friend and you will not only be responsible for Stacey and her baby’s death but also Tyson’s. Are we in agreement?” He asks, as if I had any choice whatsoever. Stacey looks at me pleadingly to do as he says.

I nod and Kade picks up the phone before hitting call and handing it to me. My hands shook as it rang, and Kade growled. Sucking in a few deep breaths, I calmed myself enough to pull myself together in time just as she answered. It took all my willpower not to break down at the sight of her face.

“Abbie!” Ivy shrieked.

“Hey! Kade said you wanted me to call. I dropped my phone in the sink. You know I am clumsy.” I chuckle, putting on the performance of my

damn life, knowing how many lives rely on me saying the right thing. Yet Ivy knew me so well, I knew she would be able to read me by actions. I hoped she paid attention. I knew if she could pick up on me, she would play along and alert someone.

Her brows furrow at my words, “Have you got makeup on?” She asked, staring at my face that looked different. That is Kades first mistake here. Ivy knows I never wear makeup, she also knows my facial expression better than I do.

“Yep, do you like it? Cassandra helped me,” I told her, turning my phone so she could see I wasn’t alone. Cassandra waves to her, putting on a sweet smile, and I turn the phone back.

“How have you been?” I ask, and my eyes go to kade standing in front of me mouthing for me to go introduce Cassandra, tapping his ring finger.

“Cassandra, that is …” Ivy asks, and T cut her off.

“Kade’s wife. They have three kids,” I tell her, smiling. Ivy falls quiet yet I could see the suspicion in her eyes as she peers at the background behind me.

“And you’re okay with that?” She asks. I flick my hair over my shoulder to the ear that held my scar, the same scar she shared with me when I tried to kill myself.

“Well, I can’t punish him for marrying before he found me,” I chuckled, as if it was no big deal and Cassandra was my new bestie. She appears confused, so I change the subject, telling her random crap, knowing Kade is watching me. Kyson comes up behind her and into the camera’s view.

“Hi Abbie, you look nice,” Kyson says, sending me a wave. I smile and wave, saying hello when Kade moves to stand behind me, his hand gripping my shoulders in a warning as he squeezes them.

“My King.” Kade says, giving him a nod and they chat about pack business for a few moments, and Kyson asks him a few questions about rogue sightings. Before telling Kade and me how they discovered Ivy was the missing Landeena baby. I had so many questions yet had more pressing matters than Ivy’s parentage, though I was glad everything was sorted out on their end. I was happy for her, happy she would get her happily ever after.

“Well, my King and Queen, Abbie and Cassandra are about to go shopping,” Kade eventually says when Kyson finishes speaking. Kade wanders out of the camera’s view and I stare at Ivy.

“Well, I will try to call you again soon,” I tell her and she smiles sadly, then she purses her lips before her eyes light up.

“I was going to ask if you wanted to come up on the weekend?” Ivy asks me. She knows! She knows something is wrong, I thought. My heart sputtered as hope bloomed in my veins. She has to know.

“That would be awesome. I have missed you.” I tell her.

“Not this weekend, Abbie. A driver won’t be available,” kade says behind me, where he stood by the bed.

“It’s fine. I will send Dustin to come and get her and your wife; it can be a girl’s weekend,” Ivy tells him.

“The kids have a soccer match, and it’s Abbie’s first one. She doesn’t want to miss it,” kade says, and I nod quickly in agreement as he walks over to me before rubbing behind my ear.

“Yes. I promised the kids I would go. I forgot, maybe the one after,” I tell her, giving her a smile, yet her focus was on my hand rubbing behind my left ear. Come on Ivy, put it together. I prayed she did and did

something quickly.

“Sounds great.” Ivy tells me. My smile waivers slightly with doubt as she smiles brightly, the sinking feeling returning.

“Well, I will let you go. Call me tomorrow night,” Ivy tells me as Kade pops back into view of her.

“I will make sure she does,” he says, kissing my cheek in a show of affection, and it took everything in me not to jerk away from him. I blow her some kisses.

“I love you,” I tell her. Ivy’s eyes narrow the slightest fraction.

“More than my life,” she says in reply.

“Yep. You know that,” I tell her, smiling, while my heart hammers in my chest. I reach up and rub the spot behind my ear. Ivy watched the movement and I saw her swallow and the look of panic in her eyes as her eyes went to mine.

“I love you. I will speak with you tomorrow,” she told me. I nodded before hanging up, praying she understood that wasn’t me.

The moment I hang up, Kade snatches the phone from me. I waited for the verdict of whether I did good enough in his eyes at convincing her nothing was wrong.
