Macey POV 

The following morning, I woke to a pinch in my neck.I had hardly slept all night as I fought the urge, yet m y attempts to stay awake were unsuccessful, exhaustion eventually taking me.

"shh, my love, it is just a sedative," Carter murmured as he pulled the syringe from my neck.

My fingertips touched the spot.He had handcuffed me to him during the night.

I had tried to shift out of my restraints, yet he pounced on me before I even made i t a step from the bed.

Which earned me the handcuffs for my efforts.He had also drugged me the moment h e wrestled me back into the restraints.

I had cursed myself all night.I should have held out longer, earned his trust.

All night I had stared at the ceiling completely paralyzed.

Panic coursed through me as he stabbed me again, this time.

"It’s just precaution.This won’t paralyze you completely, just stop you from shifting mostly and is more of a muscle relaxant.My father’s invention, shitty man, but a smart one," he says.

There was so much I could say about his father’s intelligence, or lack thereof.

Yet I held my tongue.

Carter waited for the drug to start taking effect, watching me as he got changed as my limbs became heavy, yet I still had feeling in them.

He sets a bucket by the bed and my brows furrow.

"In case you need to use the bathroom.It should start to wear off just before I get back," he says.

I growled a t him, disgusted that he would even think I would use it.If that fucker thinks I am using that, he is surely mistaken.I would rather shit my pants and watch him clean me with no working water here.

Pay back for keeping me locked up like a dog.

"I know it isn’t ideal, but just in case.I won’t be long."

My tongue feels thick in my mouth, soI smile a t him, cursing him to the goddess.

He leans over the bed as if he sees nothing wrong with the entire scenario and pecks my lips.

I hate how the bond reacts to his affections.
