Chapter 4:

I open my eyes to blinding light. I sit up and pains shoots through my chest.I gasp and Danarius appears at my side, helping me sit up. My mind races as to why I'm hear. The ice and the wolves, my eyes franticly search for a certain snow-haired elf. I spot him in the corner with an expressionless mask on his face, but when my eyes meet his emotion flashes on his face. Was he worried about me?

"Are you ok? What do you remember dear?" Danarius's voice interrupts my thoughts.

"I'm fine, but I don't really remember anything. What happened?"

"You fell into the ice, but I got to you just in time."

I couldn't believe he was lying to my face to make himself look good. Ugh.

"Oh, thanks."

I sneak at glance at Fenris to see him livid, I knew he was the one who saved my life. I could only imagine how pissed he was.

Somehow I convinced Danarius to let me have some time alone. So I prepared a nice relaxing bubble bath. I slip in and hiss as the soap hits the gashes on my back.

3rd person POV:

Relief flooded Fenris when Roxanne looked into his eyes after she woke up, was she looking for him?

He wanted to rip the man's throat out when he claimed to rescue her, but she looked annoyed. Almost like she knew he was just making himself look good. She dismissed herself to her room and so he stayed in his corner, thinking about what had happened.

*Start of Flashback*

Fenris feels Roxanne let go of his hand. A wolf comes out of the water and climbs on land. He dives into the water and grabs Roxanne's limp, lifeless body. He gets her up on land and pumps her chest.

Pump. Pump. Pump.

He puts his lips on hers and breathes into her mouth. He is surprised to feel tingles where their skin touches.

Breathe. Breathe. Breathe. The tingles are starting to become overwhelming.

Fenris's mind is racing, but one word keeps popping up. Mate.

She coughed up the water and gasped for air before blacking out again. He turned toward the pack of wolves and he let an inhuman growl escape his lips. The wolves' ears went back, hearing the authority behind the growl. One wolf stepped forward and looked Fenris in the eyes. Fenris glared back, silently daring the wolf to attack.

'Go ahead, and try to attack me and my mate. See what happens.' He thought.

The wolf seemed to bow in respect and barked to make the pack leave, as if it had heard Fenris's thoughts.

*End of Flashback*

Roxanne's POV:

I felt better after my bath and was pleasantly surprised to see Fenris in a corner of my room. He just watched silently, but his presence comforted me. I was bored out of my mind so I started talking at Fenris again, glad he was silently listening. I turned to him and joked, "Sorry, I guess I like to hear the sound of my voice." I was answered with a chuckle that warmed my bones, it was like music to my ears. I was sky high, and completely at peace.

My high crashed as the door opened to reveal Danarius. Fenris was ordered out. Danarius walked in and shut the door behind him. I wanted to turn and run when the lock clicked, but my feet stayed firmly planted to the floor as my head screamed at me.

In a blur, Danarius crossed the room and stood chest to chest with me. How did he get here that fast? My thoughts were interrupted when he kissed me roughly and shoved me against the wall. My head was screaming at me to do something, but my body was shocked and remained still. He licked my lip for permission to enter and I kept my lips firmly pressed together.

He bit down hard on my lip and I gasped, letting him force his tongue into my mouth. My body finally reacted, shoving Danarius hard. He grabbed my wrists and forced them above my head. Panic and fear coursed through me. Adrenaline surged through my veins as I kissed him back and he moved closer. I kicked him in the balls, successfully sending him to the ground.

I ran to the door and start to open it only to have it slammed in my face. I felt the gashes in my back reopen as I hit the wall. All of the air rushed out of my lungs. He stood over me and lifted me up to my feet. I leaned against the wall and he ripped my shirt open, making buttons fly everywhere. I thrashed around to no avail, he dug his nails into my hips, making me scream.
