The Rejected Phoenix novel Chapter 60

Chapter 60.

Subtitle: step down from the throne.

*** Melanie's  POV***

I was thrown roughly on a hard tree, my back collide with it and I heard a bone crack.

I winced in pain and yelped out loud, the pains were driving me crazy.

I was in a rollercoaster of pains, before I could even rest a bit a bucket of cold water was thrown right in my face.

"no please..  It freezing, what have I done to you? Please let me go please!! "

I begged in a frail voice, I was trying my best to keep up with the act of not being Melanie but it was hard.

"you still are not gonna admit it's you right? I guess you'll admit it when I give you a few strokes of flog! "

Cole said menacingly and without  any feelings attached to his voice and my eyes widened.

Was he gonna torture me into admitting it was me?

There was something off with his voice.

I felt like he was not the Cole I used to know and be friends with, he was someone different and cold that I couldn't even comprehend.

"please...  No, you can't just torture me. ... I was only lost and didn't know where else to go, please just let me go home!"

I begged but he just hissed and left with his arms folded behind his back.

I sobbed quietly and waited for the worst senerio to happen.

The guy that brought me in earlier came to me with a long whip in his hands.

My whole body jerked with fear on the sight of the whip that was in his hands.

"I have to do this miss.  It's the alpha's orders..."

He then drew me up from the floor before bounding my hands in a long thick rope.  I tried to refuse it and fight back but I only got two loud slaps in the face.

In a short while I was tied to a long tall tree and another bucket of cold freezing water was thrown one, my whole body and I was soaked,it was freezing.

..."aaaarghhh! "

I cried as the long thick cane collide with my wet back.

It was painful and I could swear I felt my back twirk and the bone that broke earlier hurt more.

But another cane landed on my back before the first one could fully subside.

And then another, and another, and another until I lost count of the number of canes that came in contact with my back.

I cried in pain as I gnashed my teeth

My cloths were torn and shredded in pieces and my whole body smelled of blood.

"miss, are you ready to admit that you're  the one my master is looking for now? As much as I love tormenting people I don't like beating up weak women..

So just speak up while you're still alive! "

The man snapped at me and I laughed and spit in his eyes.

I was really tempted to use my powers to snap him into pieces but I will immediately be discovered.

And I think that is what alpha Cole really wants from me when he asked his subbordinate  to torment me, he wanted me to use my powers.

Well I won't even if I have to die.

The man was furious that  I spit in his eyes as he looked at me coldly, grabbed a huge log of wood from his side and smashed it right in my head.

The pains were overbearing and it took all the guts and self control in me not to faint, the pains was just too much and my tears were nonstop also.

I didn't feel any pity for myself because I know that my phoenix self can bear the pains,but my human self can't.

Kendall  can't!

"you really have some guys don't you?  I am the delta of this pack and you dare to spit in my eyes.

You thank your stars that the boss really has something to do with you, if not you'll be dead by now! "

He snapped and I only cried my eyes out.

"I have told you countless times that I don't know of what your talking about and I have nothing to do with you, why do you take pleasure in tormenting me?  Just kill me like you said or I won't just spit in your eyes when I get the chance next time, I'll bite off your ears! "

I said with a gruffy voice and I saw shock in the man's voice.

He made to slap me again but was held down by a strong hand.

"I told you to find out from her If she's who I'm looking for and not kill her, are you out of your mind? "

I heard Cole snapped at his delta who bowed and apologised before stepping back with a cold look.

I sobbed quietly and didn't bother to look up at him, he began moving around me in circles.

I din't bother looking at him because I knew he won't hesitate to torment me, I could clearly tell that the Cole I was with now is not himself anymore.

He has changed and I fear that it was because of the witch who was dead,was he really the evil I was asked to eliminate?

Something in me kept telling me I had to sold a big problem with him.

"Melanie....  You don't have to hide from me anymore, you know that in this world I'm the only person who truly loved you for being you, I don't want to hurt or kill you, just come to me and stay by my side.

Together we can take back what was stolen from me by that bastard,we can both me the king and queen of all alpha's and Luna's.  Don't worry, you won't even feel any pain even if I kill that bastard, he never loved you anyways.. "

He said to me and I almost laughed.

I could tell it rjatvhw was not being genuine and was only forcing himself to say that to me just is I will give in to him, but I won't.

I was still in shock.

So what he wanted was the throne, and me.
