The Thing POV
I felt another cut on my skin and the pain simply added to all the others, to all the cuts I've already received today because of these lashes... There was a time when I cared that begging them to stop would help me at all, but all I got was even worse humiliation.
At one point I thought it was all unfair, but I quickly learned that it doesn't matter, not to me... If it was someone else, then others would try to defend it, but me? I don't have any support.
How many times have I thought I was going to die and wished it were true, but in the end, I just passed out and woke up after a while... Not even Death wants me. Instinctively my lips curved into a brief smile before another lash hit my back.
I don't know how many more lashes there were before they released my wrists, which were bound in chains wrapped around a hook. I fell to my knees, only to hear the laughter of those around me and it wasn't long before I felt my back burning. A cold and very painful liquid poured down my back, a liquid mixed with various healing herbs, but also silver particles, added just to make it hurt more...
"There, it's stopped bleeding! Now get up and finish cleaning the warriors' toilets!" Alpha Julian's voice echoed.
When I'd stopped shouting, they'd gotten angry and their torture had only increased, but I'd adapted and now it doesn't matter what they do, I just don't scream anymore... I've even stopped talking.
I nodded and went to the corner, picked up the old blouse, put it on and walked towards the place indicated. The shed where most of the warriors without companions stayed. It was a disgusting place. They had no idea what hygiene was, but they always wanted everything clean and I was usually the one who cleaned it, or some Omega who was being punished was also sent there.
I went to the place where the buckets, clean water and other cleaning products were and dragged my body until I reached the restroom area as always as they were filthy, there was dirt on all the walls, including the ceiling.
It will take me a few hours to finish cleaning everything and in the meantime the pain is constant, but at least the back pain outweighs the hunger pain. My stomach has become accustomed to receiving little food and I usually drink more water. I heard somewhere that without food the body can live longer, but not without water... Of course, nobody knows that, let alone that I usually eat the leftovers they throw away. When I'm sweeping and see that there's something that can be used, I hide it to eat later.
I don't even know why I do it, after all, without doing these things I would die, well... It's not like that, I told you before, that even when I didn't eat or drink anything, I still woke up after a few days... Alpha had ordered me to eat enough so that I wouldn't die.
I think a part of me still wants a little pain relief because I no longer have any hope. I'm just a slave, a voiceless one, I can't even remember my name...
Pathetic, isn't it? But they've managed to take everything from me, the only thing they haven't taken is my life, but that's just so they can keep torturing me.
I heard the sound of the bathroom door being opened. I already knew who it was, Bryan, the future Gamma, one of the people who loved tormenting my life the most, I was already finishing the job...
"Look at this... The thing..." His voice made the hairs on the back of my neck stand on end. I'd never liked him, ever since I was a child, I'd always thought there was something wrong...
But I mean, there must be something wrong with everyone for them to enjoy torturing someone... Or I'm probably wrong and it's normal for them to do this kind of thing.
I continue wiping the floor, a little closer to the sinks, the sound of his footsteps goes to one of the places, and I hear the sound of liquid hitting the marble... I realize he's not doing it in the toilet but on the floor.
I took the washcloth to the sink that I was going to leave last, turned on the water and started to wash the fabric, already knowing that I was going to use it to clean the dirty floor where Bryan was. I heard the sound of the zipper being closed and then his heavy footsteps coming towards me, I felt him grab my hair by the ends, hard, and the next second I'm lying on the floor, my face in his piss. My body was already reacting automatically, so I didn't bother complaining, I'd expected something like this, and it's a good thing I had the cloth in my hands.
"Come on, clean up! That's all you're good for, thing."
I adjusted my kneeling position and began to wipe the floor, running the cloth over the floor first, leaving just one end unsoiled, and soon I heard his laugh and he left. I took a deep breath as soon as I was alone again, got up and went to the sink, wiping my face and also the ends of my hair that had gotten dirty.
I shouldn't care too much about my appearance or my smell, well the first one I don't care about, the uglier I look the better it is... But at least I try to keep myself clean, as best I can.
I looked in the mirror and saw my reflection, my black hair unbrushed, my face now a little cleaner, my green eyes reflecting the brightness of the light and it's something I can't hide, they're beautiful, even behind my expressionless, neutral expression.
When I turned 16, it was my undoing, because my eyes became even clearer, more beautiful and shone like two stones... Which means they cleaned me up, put some nice clothes on me and then held an auction.
My first time was exactly like the rest of my life, with a lot of pain and then a lot of laughter... One more thing for me to get used to, every time they came to dress me up I already knew it was for a situation like this.
I touched my reflection and for the first time, I wondered if it would be better if I were blind... That way they wouldn't be able to take advantage of it and there would be nothing left for them to find beautiful about me.
I closed my fingers tightly and turned away from the mirror, trying to control the urge to scratch my face and disfigure my expression. I finished cleaning the bathroom, left it sparkling and left.
Using the shadows, I simply walked past everyone without being noticed, until I reached the kitchen, where I could already smell the food being prepared, I went to the back, left the cleaning products there, cleaned my face and my hands and went to the back of the kitchen, looking at the pile of dishes to be washed.
This part was separate from the rest of the place, and they just threw things through the holes and I had to wash everything and put it in the right place. This way there weren't many leftovers that I could save.
I hear my stomach rumbling, but I ignore it and get on with my work... After all, I don't want another beating before the night is over, after all, I have to get up very early the next day.
Usually, in these cases I simply try not to pay attention to the conversation in the kitchen, but the people are speaking too loudly.
"Will I find my partner?" Jasmine asked in her high-pitched voice.
"Yes, you will! You're one of our most beautiful Omegas! Even a Beta would be happy to have you as a companion!" Rebeca soon replied.
"I can't believe the pack has been chosen to host the Grand Ball." Jasmine was really happy with this news.
I've heard something about this ball, apparently, it's a party that happens every year... Lots of people who don't have mates go to them to try and find their destined ones...
It's just one more thing I'm not going to take part in, and that's a good thing, I just want to disappear... I took a deep breath, a little tired... I just hope Alpha doesn't decide to hold his auctions at a party like this.
I shuddered, this is one of the few things I still care about... I hate it when people touch me like this, I hate feeling this kind of sensation, it's one of the worst there is.
"Several packs are coming! Ahhhh!" Jasmine shouted sharply. "I heard that even the Lycans and some vampires were going to show up!"
A few other shrieks were heard, and the whole kitchen was in an uproar. They really were happy...
Well, I'm relieved too. With all this mess the number of dishes to wash has decreased, but I continued to make a fuss as if I still had plenty of things. After all, I'm not stupid, I just don't care about many things.
The Thing POV"It's going to be the best event ever!" Jasmine said. "I can't believe our pack is hosting such an event!""We deserve it! We sure do! Look how much the warriors have done and also our Alpha, it's wonderful!" Rebeca was also excited."Yes, gee, you're absolutely right!" Jasmine agreed."Girls!" Mrs. Smith's voice echoed more sternly. "I know this is very good news, but we need to finish delivering dinner to the warriors and the rest of the house!"The conversation then died down to a few whispers and the number of dishes increased again.I simply began to wander around inside my mind, after all my work is manual and repetitive, so I don't really need to pay attention, not when I'm alone on this side and so far I haven't been argued with, asked to be quicker.People get excited about fates, mates... That's something that's not for me, I've known that since I can remember because I've always been told that... It's simple, a slave has no rights... If I happen to have a mate
Warning: This chapter contains detailed rap** scenes.The thing POV"Come on, thing!" Miss Smith said, pulling me up by the arm.My reaction is a little slower than usual, after all, I now know that Alpha Julius' words are true.I'm quickly pulled into one of the farthest rooms, and she opens the door, pushing me inside and I see Bernard there, he's wearing very few clothes, just a white shirt and shorts, his smell is stronger and I shudder as I see him approaching."My father said you were beautiful... That healing potion worked a miracle..." His voice is full of excitement. "And the best thing is that it lasts a while in the body... Which means I'll be able to play for a long time."I shivered and took a step back when Bernard approached, Her laughter penetrated my ears and I closed my eyes tightly."Ahaha! That expression! It's so nice to see something on your face." Bernard then grabbed my arms and threw me onto the bed.It was very soft, which made my body bounce, but soon he was
The POV thingThe door is opened, and I immediately smell something very different from all the others. It's the smell of a floor covered in leaves, leaves that are wet, but the liquid is blood. The smell is so intense that I can even see the floor, and I try to take another step back, but they hold me by the shoulders and push me into the room.As soon as I enter, I realize that the smell is intense, but it's more directed to my left. Alpha Julian and two strangers and the smell is coming from one of them.If I were a religious person, I would be praying right now for all this to end, but I'm not, after all, the Gods would never listen to me... When I was a child, I tried, but I wasn't heard to... So now I just try to accept my fate."Ahhh! There's the thing." Alpha Julian speaks.I heard the door being closed. Mrs. Smith had left."Lord Hoff always had good eyes." I heard a deep voice and shuddered...This voice reminds me of that of a great hunter. I'm not talking about someone hum
The Thing POVI take courage and leave the bathroom and immediately that smell of leaves wet with blood invades me, I focus my gaze in the direction of the smell and meet those eyes that make me tremble, I feel my legs become weaker and my breathing becomes more altered, my heart is beating so loudly that I can hear it in my ears."Yeah, that's it." His voice is lighter, showing his satisfaction with my posture and clothes.Once again I feel my face getting hotter, such a strange thing, but ever since I met him everything is different.That man approaches and his aura is so intense and I open my lips for air, feeling his presence in front of me, his touch on my face and those brief sparks that warm me up even more.I'd heard about what it was like to find your fated mate, but I never thought it would happen to me, it all seemed like a dream... Even more so someone who is accepting of me, who didn't reject me at first glance."Do you know who I am?" He asks me, and I make a gigantic ef
The Thing POV I woke up feeling pain all over my body, but it's good pain, because the memories of why I'm like this are wonderful, I've learned what pleasure is and I think I'm addicted. It's just a wonderful feeling.Now I understand why so many seek to satisfy themselves, without caring about the rest and I was used to that so that others would be happy, but I don't think that's going to happen anymore.The smell of him is still very strong, and I honestly don't want to get up, I just want to stay in this bed, smelling our mixed scents and feeling so good about it, until I feel my stomach make a noise, and I make an effort to move. As soon as I put my feet on the floor, I raise my head to hear the sound of a door opening and see him coming out of the bathroom, drops of water still running down his muscular chest, a towel around his waist and one in his hands wiping his hair. I can feel my mouth getting wet and my body getting hotter."Hmm... You've barely woken up, and you're alre
Warning: The next few chapters will contain torture scenes in detail, so if you have problems with needles, you'd better read carefully.The Thing POVAfter that my Master finished feeding and stood up, I follow up when he permitted me and went back a step behind him, I didn't dare to fix my dress, because nothing had been said to that effect, so as we walk part of my ass is exposed, but I keep my gaze on my Master's back.What I notice is that another man soon approaches him, standing next to him. He has spiky black hair, wears a black suit, his skin is darker and his aura is somewhat frightening, but it doesn't even come close to my Master's aura.The two of them walk in silence or talk via mental message, then we stop in front of a different room from my Master's, I see the man opening the door, my Master passes by and I follow him, the temperature is lower and I feel a cold shiver, moreover the hair on the back of my neck stands up, it's my instinct telling me that something is wr
Note: The chapter continues with the torture session, including needles, shock and acid.The POV thingIt wasn't long before each breast had six needles, they made a circle around the nipple and drops of blood oozed out, he had placed the needles deeper. Yes, it hurts, it stings and I want to rip it out, but I can't even close my hands, because the needles on my fingertips remind me of and scratch my palm, so it hurts me in two ways, because I feel the needles go in a bit more and the other end cuts my palm.My breathing is more rapid and somewhat irregular, after all, I'm suffering a lot of information and I'm starting to be grateful for all the years I've suffered at the hands of the pack I live in; if it weren't for that, I'd certainly be begging for clemency.I notice that Lord Hoff moves away a little, probably to appreciate what he's already done."Tough to break... Many would have begged off at the first needles." Lord Hoff speaks, his voice is a little strange, he sounds proud
The Thing POVLooking down, I see on my body the marks left by what happened, they are not completely closed and should leave scars... These will be the marks so that I don't forget that I am nothing but an object even for my destined Mate.So I just stare at the ground, waiting for the next command, saying nothing, making no sound except my breathing. Then I noticed him coming closer. His hand enters my field of vision. He touches my chin and lifts my face, I can't resist.I met his eyes, which had always been my security. His expression is a mixture of feelings: guilt, pain, resentment, anger, hatred, and many others. All of them he can afford to feel and I don't dare to try anything else than what I've already learned."I let things go too far." My Master spoke, lightly stroking my cheek with his thumb.I could feel the warm sparks, but just like the pain, I fought the reactions it caused and just looked at him with a passive expression."But you made me proud because even though I
Ayla POVEvery step I take away from the imperial bedroom, my heart races, this is a dream come true, and I still can't believe it's really happening. A part of me is afraid that it's all just a dream and that I'll end up waking up on the cold floor of Julian's pack.The aisles are full of flowers that are typical of spring, as this was the first thing I decided, that the theme of the wedding would be the season when most flowers bloom.In addition, of course, to having the flowers from each of the houses, even those that bloom at specific times... Ishtar had already helped me with this, making sure they were all bright and at their peak.I stop at the window to see how happy everyone is, with the music echoing even as high as I am. Most of them are my subj
Ayla POVThe days passed in the blink of an eye, even though I felt weaker with each passing day, as the amount of auras weighed heavily on my shoulders.The potions that fairies give me are very strong and every time I take them I end up sleeping for the whole period, so I started taking them every morning, as soon as I woke up, because it added to the strength that Ghost was feeding me.It was only because of this that I was able to spend the afternoon and part of the evening with my guests and so many races had arrived, the Castle was lit up with so much happiness and so much diversity.Gradually, everyone got on board with the theme of the wedding, "Spring". The flowers have been hand-picked because they symbolize what we are, there are all the flowers
Victor POVSeeing Ayla interact with the rulers of the Faerie Kingdom is history in the making, and I'm sure the other Kingdoms will be more afraid of how gigantic our Kingdom is becoming.The alliance with the Kingdom of the Fairies is something very unexpected, as well as important because their magic is just as powerful as that of the Kingdom of the Wizards and the Witches. It means that in this war we are taking several more steps towards victory.These revelations add to what Ghost has told us. Of course, we're not happy to know that others can see how our bond is doing and that worries me because when the Kingdom of the Wizards and the Witches arrive, it will be very clear and that will make us targets for attacks.My mate's sadness resonates in my ch
Ayla POVI could feel something different as I approached the Hall of Thrones and when we entered it became clearer why there was music in the air, something like what I've heard in some Soul stones, but this one is different.There are so many different voices and I don't understand what they're saying, but I don't need to, because I can feel the emotions they want to convey and as I looked at the Rulers it became clearer that the music came from them and was made for them.The pain is hidden behind happy, fast notes, with a lively beat that the other fairies follow instinctively, and it's almost impossible to perceive the undertones of sadness and melancholy.The voices want to cheer up their Rulers after a sad event, and I can connect with that because I
Victor POVI let my aura flow towards Soren so that he calms down because Ghost is right and Soren hates it when he's challenged. No matter who it was."You're right, Ghost," I said before Soren could say anything. "We really need to decide on the next in command. A lot of decisions have been put on the back burner by all the situations we've been through."Ayla is feeling guilty because she knows that Ghost only did what we asked, and she thinks she could have done more to help him."But this isn't the place for something like that. I'll arrange a meeting in the afternoon with the Heads of Houses and also with the leaders of the strongest Packs in your Kingdom." I continued speaking.Ghost looked at Ayla intens
Ayla POVI wake up and realize immediately that I'm not in the imperial bedroom and the smell of Ghost is everywhere, enveloping me and my heart squeezes because I had hoped this wouldn't have to happen and I couldn't hold back the silent tears that started to flow.I'm feeling so miserable, simply because I'm not strong enough to regenerate on my own. Then I feel a blanket being placed over me, the smell of Soren and Victor is there, and at the same moment, I feel better.It's as if I had betrayed my mates before, but now it's as if they are embracing me and understanding the situation. In parts, I can't believe I have such good and understanding mates.I lay there for a few more minutes before getting up and looking around; the room has a medieval style a
Ayla POVThe days have passed and more and more I feel my body aching and hurting when I take the potions, but at least I'm managing to withstand the auras of the various types of creatures and beings that are arriving to take part in the wedding.Of course, I don't meet all of them, just the most important ones for now and always in the Hall of Thrones, because there I feel much stronger, and I'm not so affected by the auras.Of course, I'm sleeping more and so the surrounding security has doubled. I always have a few soldiers around me when Victor and Soren aren't around. Even with Ghost present, everyone agreed that this extra security would be better.I didn't pass out in any of the encounters, but I was always drained at the end of them. This shows how
Ayla POVThe meeting to choose the flowers was kind of fun, as there are many types and many ways to create bouquets, and it was a bit difficult to choose the ones that made the most sense for the wedding.Of course, there can't be too many magical flowers, as that would add more weight to my aura and probably hurt me more, so I decided on just two flowers around the Castle that mean many things, the Smeraldo and Selene's Tears, even though we have few Tears, it's still an important flower.The two flowers will even make up part of my bouquet, and it's going to be beautiful, I never thought my life would change so much. After all, I was a mere slave, with no prospect of anything but dying.Living only to serve others, without ever uttering a sound or a word
Soren POVThe meeting with the Heads of House was extremely boring, one of the few things I hate about being Emperor, as these meetings can often go on for days, as each one wants to be better than the other and have the upper hand.Although each House had its function within the Kingdom, the Heads always wanted to have a greater influence. Even more so with Skyler's problem, I need to put someone else in charge of the House of Poppies, but the person I choose will be my third-in-command.For a while now, I've been thinking about putting Ghost as my third-in-command and choosing another leader for the House of Poppies, but the problem is that this is going to cause some strife among my subjects, whether they're Heads of House or not.I know the Lycan race w
