CHAPTER 1

VANESSA'S POV

I fought for a year.

After the first week, I realized I couldn't physically fight him as his skin felt like stone against my weak skin and bone fist, but I would refuse to eat and drink but he would just withhold any food and drink to see how long I could hold out before I broke and asked for food and drink and he would readily provide it. I would refuse to speak to him or acknowledge his presence so he would leave me locked up in a house by myself with no access to the outside world until I was on the verge of going crazy, then he would show up, being my only source of contact.

Soon I started to enjoy when he would show up and cry when he would leave, after that, I started to eagerly give my affection and after two years I gave him my body for the first time. After the first time I gave him my body, he held me to his cold chest as I whispered words of love to him, and this time, I meant them. I did love him, he was the only one who could protect me and take care of me.

ALEC'S POV

I knew it was wrong but I didn't have any other plan. I couldn't let my very human mate walk around unguarded so I took her. It wasn't hard, I simply used my gift to subdue her and transport her to the house I had built on the land where my village stood when my sister and I were still human. I put looks on the doors and even added a chain around my mate's neck, the chain was long enough she could move around the house comfortably but she couldn't leave the house. It was a slow process but my beautiful Vanessa soon came around and now she was the perfect mate. She gave me whatever I wanted, calming me when I showed up angry, I even enjoyed her tears when I told her I was leaving to go back to work.

I enjoyed the thought of her waiting for me to return.

My little human had turned out to be the perfect mate for me and I did not wish to share her with anyone.
