3: Caged By The New Master

last update Last Updated: 2023-05-21 18:04:04

I watched my world get destroyed by Jane, and there was nothing I could do. It was my word against hers. But when the man who hid his eyes underneath a hat walked in, I realised the truth. 

The man I had called Master Kaine from the start was only his son. Now, the real Master was dead, and everyone believed I had killed him, just so I could escape.

"Sir, I walked in and saw her stab him with a knife. It was so gruesome." Jane mumbled her words like she was truly shaken up by my actions. 

Actions that never even happened. I didn't know what to do. If I dared speak, no one would listen to the breeder who just got here. 

The new master ignored Jane and walked to his father's side. He closed the man's eyes, saying a prayer to the moon goddess for his safe passage to the afterlife. 

Then, he focused his eyes on me. I had the chance to finally see what his body looked like, but fear had me lowering my head. I had experienced his cruelty firsthand to know he wouldn't let me off the hook that easy.

I might even be sentenced to death. His black boots stopped right in front of me. I watched the peak of them from where I glued my eyes to the floor.

"Why did you kill the Lycan King of Eastmoon and the master of this household?"

"I–I didn't kill him." 

"You dare lie?" He stepped on my palm on the floor, causing me to groan in pain.

"Master, please. Jane is the only one lying. I didn't—"

"Take her to the chair and jog her memory of how she killed my father!"

They jostled me to my feet after fitting me in clothes and discarding the towel. Guards of the household dragged me to this chair. It was something I had never heard of, but dread pooled in my stomach at the sound of it. 

The chair was located in a dark torture room, meant to get the truth out of people. I was locked in here for hours, electrocuted, and beaten until I couldn't take it any longer. 

"Wait!" I screamed, pushing at the chains binding my wrist to the arm of the chair. "I killed him! It was me. I did it..."

The torturing stopped, but I had just sold my freedom again to save my life. The guards unchained me and threw me inside a cage, like I was a wild animal. Yes, I would remain the Kain household's breeder, but there was no end to this life of suffering, fat or not.

That half loaf of bread would become my daily meal. Tears rolled down my cheeks at the thought of living inside a cage for the rest of my life. 

The second they dropped me inside the cage, I fainted. My entire body ached, and I bled, but they were unconcerned because they hoped I would heal. Only I knew I wouldn't.

When I regained consciousness, I was still inside the cage. Morning had come, and my fate hadn't changed. But something else was different. I felt no pain. There weren't even scars from last night on my body, but my bloodied clothes were the evidence my doubt needed.

It obviously wasn't me, but the man who had helped me in the bathroom had done it again. I wondered why. I was accused of murdering their king. 

Suddenly, a bucket of chilled water was dunked on me. I shrieked, gasping at the sight of Jane and that sinister smile plastered on her face. 

"Good morning, Cara. How was your first night as a prisoner?"

"I will kill you with my own hands!" I screamed, gunning for the rails and fisting them fiercely in my hands.

"You can't because you will be caged in here forever." She stands so close to the rails of the cage, daring me to do something. "Master Kaine doesn't care about what you look like anymore. He wants to discard you as fast as possible." 

I gulped. "What do you mean?" 

She didn't answer. A guard turned the lock of the cage and brought me out. Apparently, that bucket water was the only shower I was allowed. Jane tore my clothes and fit me into a silk robe.

The leash on my neck was the last piece to my morning attire. I couldn't believe it, but despite my protests, the guard tugged me forward like I was some pet dog.

They brought me to a room with a big black door. His voice gave us access inside as soon as he felt our presence. Jane opened the door, only to find the Master standing right behind it.

"Leave her here!"

Jane grew red all over. She didn't expect his sudden dismal, but she turned and left with the guard.

I walked forward on my own, watching him closely. He still hadn't lost the hat, and I was met with his back once inside.

"Sit down, Cara."

I did as he ordered because within these walls and with his father now dead, he was the law. 

"What do you want from me, Master? This body isn't to your taste yet." 

"Word has spread. I need to get rid of you as we speak, but first, you must carry my pups as planned." 

Scared, I shouted. "I will never have anything to do with you!" 

He faced me with a smirk, swiftly undoing his belt.

    I arrived at the Eastmoon palace a while later. The cab dropped me off and I wouldn’t be surprised if Miles was tailing me with how abruptly I had left the pack house. The guards at the entrance immediately recognized my face. “I have a message for the Lycan King from Xora, the moon goddess.”The moment they heard the moon goddess, they figured that I was here on important business and they let me into the palace. I didn’t walk, I ran for where I knew Kaloyan would be, his study.But just when I was about to climb up the stairs, the twins shouted my name, “Cara!”They screamed, rushing over to me and I hugged them back, ruffling their hairs although this loud welcome was not what I needed at all. “Where’s Shirley?” I whispered but it was too late.“Right here.” She surfaced at the top of the first landing on the grand staircase. “What are you doing here? Last I checked, the Lycan King had commanded you never to return.”“My business is not with Kaloyan. It is with you.” I glared at

    “When is she going to get here?” I huffed and Miles rubbed a hand over my back, placating my impatient pregnant ass.We were receiving Ingrid at the airport. She had travelled to the North pack again and knew nothing about Xander’s arrest. “Just a little more. I know she’d come out next—“Miles hadn’t even finished talking when Ingrid surfaced with her many bags from the airport. I rushed for her, pulling her into a warm hug. “Ingrid!” I shrieked, “how are you, my darling?!”She hugged me tightly like we hadn’t seen each other in years which wasn’t exactly the fact. We helped her put her bags in the trunk, while we were in the car and she rode shotgun, she kept going on and on about her trip. “I can’t wait to see Xander. The last time I left things were pretty tense around here. Miles even had you locked up.” Ingrid’s eyes bulged as she realised she was touching a delicate subject.“It’s fine. He knows he made a grave mistake and is currently paying for it.”“Where’s Xander, Miles

    I stopped breathing. He had run out and it was my fault because I had put that dagger in Joseph Kaine’s heart. I worried my bottom lip with my teeth, distraught.“You need to rest, Kal.” I held his arm, begging him to not dare leave me behind. He had to fight whatever this was, but I had seen what lacking Joseph’s blood did to him. I knew deep down that he was in grave danger. We had to do something fast. “I won’t die today.” He kissed my cheek tenderly. “Promise me you’ll show up for breakfast.”I thought about it for a second. Being at a table with Shirley made poop more inviting. Though I was eager to see Kal’s next move. Would he fight for whatever we have that we couldn’t seem to get over?“I promise.”He smiled at me, taking his time to let go of my hand until our fingertips parted. I smiled back and offered a tiny wave, wary of the hope I felt inside my heart. Kaloyan would choose me this time around. He had just made a mistake the last time. He just needed to see Shirley’s

    I snatched the amulet from his neck while he fell lifeless on the ground. The mask wore off and Miles began to understand what was happening.“What were you thinking, Cara?! That was too dangerous—“I wore the amulet and breathed in power. It coursed through me. Miles stopped in his tracks because he could see it too, what was currently happening. I was becoming one with the gods item. And this had not happened before. “Cara,” he muttered.And I smiled, chest rising and falling hard as I declared, “It’s finally mine, Miles. I’m the rightful Queen of Arzdith Valley and Salems power flows through me!”“No!” Our head snapped to the piercing scream we heard. Reagan bounded over. She slid to the ground at Joseph’s side, shaky hands holding him close. It was weird seeing her this way.I didn’t know evil was capable of loving someone, but I guess it was true. In their own twisted way, they had loved each other. The rest of the protectors and the black guards and Dax’s army dashed over, so

    The moon goddess was right. I was in the wrong place. The back of the line was not meant for me. I should be looking for Joseph Kaine and cutting deep into his throat. If it was Reagan I found first, even better. I grabbed a sun sword from the ground. The black guard that had been carrying it was dead on the floor. His green eyes were open and lifeless. I said a prayer for his soul as I stepped over him.“Argh!” I screamed, fighting with all my might and casting the fire spell which consumed the blade of my sword. I was slashing through demons at a rate of knots. The fire was destabilising them, giving me the advantage of speed when it should have been the other way around. At the back of my mind, I knew there was something I had to do. Who led the demon army? That question was yet to be answered. I had seen Joseph, Xander and Reagan conniving at the Silver Eye pack, but it seemed I had missed out on the last piece in the band of evils. Two demons came at me. I used my eyes to con

    Kaloyan and Miles got down, followed by Sky. I stayed in the backseat, holding the twins close as they approached the cloaked figure. The streets were dark and lonely. There was mist floating in the path ahead of us. A chill coursed through my spine. I didn’t want any more danger. I needed a breather. A moment with my family again—even though, technically, they were no longer mine. When I saw the three of them bowing to the cloaked figure, curiosity had me getting down from the car. I put Jared in charge. He was more mischievous than his brother, but Jardran could never control Jared.“Kal, what’s going on?”I gasped and lost a step when I saw the face underneath the hood. She was as magnificent as Reagan was back in the Silver Eye pack. I gaped at her glittering pale skin and blue eyes. There was no doubt who this was. The one whom only the six protectors were given the luxury of speaking to face-to-face.“Oh my God, you’re Xora. The moon…the moon goddess.” I bowed my head so low
