Alex's POV

Hopeless.

That was the only word that could describe how I felt about my situation.

I was beaten and tired. I was weak beyond measure and all I could do was remain crouched on the cold hard ground whimpering and praying to whatever forces were out there to send someone my way because honestly, I didn't think Nicolai was alive. If he was he wouldnt have left me here to suffer this fate.

He wouldn't have allowed it get this far before he came barreling in here to save me. I wouldnt have had to have this excuse of a man touch me. I was disgusted and appalled....
