ADAIRA~"You don't even know what punishment I intend for her, yet you say you will take her place. What if it's more than you can handle? What happens then?" Gavrael asked me with a bored expression."I'm sure I've already proved to you that I can handle anything you throw at me. I don't care what it is as long as she's free from it. I will not allow her to be punished in her condition. I don't expect you to understand how precious new life is because you have no regard for the ones already living. Just give me your word that no harm will come to her." I replied to him."As long as you serve in her stead, she will remain unharmed. But if you decide to quit for any reason, she will serve her original punishment. She will be stripped and publicly whipped by the sister of the rogue she killed. Then she will stay in a cell till the day she delivers." He said.Over my dead body would I let that happen."I won't quit." I said to him and he smirked."We'll see." He simply replied. I had e
GAVRAEL ~ Adaira had a way of driving me crazy without even expending much effort. Just when I thought we were getting along, she decides to be stubborn. What would come of disobeying me and sitting on the floor? Sure, I locked her up in the room, and I knew she wasn’t comfortable with what I had the girl dress her in. But she’s unharmed, staying in the room is better than the cell, is it not? And does she not see how fucking breathtaking she looks in that dress. I was hard from the second I set my eyes on her. I loved seeing every male in the vicinity look at her, lust after her and want her while also knowing that she would never be theirs, that she was mine alone. It made me so damn horny, even if it was messed up, but I never claimed to be sane. In fact, sanity seems to leave immediately I’m in Adaira’s presence. It was so easy to lose control where she was concerned, she riled me so easily it was annoying. I should have better control over my emotions but she knew just how to
ADAIRA~My duties began the next morning. The sun was not even up yet when I was woken up rudely by the male I was fated to. He grabbed the blanket that was wrapped around me and tugged on it till I rolled off the bed and landed with a thud on the floor.“Get your ass up.”I groaned as I sat up and rubbed the arm I landed on, then I glared at him from my position on the floor.“Wht the fuck is wrong with you?”“I should be asking you that, Adaira. What slave do you know that is allowed to sleep in when they should be working?” He asked as he tossed the blanket on the bed.Last night, after making our bargain, he had drunk from me and the pleasure was so intense that it was nearly impossible to resist fucking him as well, but somehow I found the herculean strength to do so. He was annoyed that I didn’t let him have me, but he was too sated after drinking my blood to actually get angry, so he just left my room.Now he was back to pester me. It wasn’t like it was actually too early, I w
ADAIRA~I shouldn’t have spoken too soon. I should have known that Gavrael really had something gruesome planned for me today. I was ecstatic to meet my grandmother, and I wanted us to have a little chat before I started working, but she said I had a lot to do and we would talk later. I don’t know if she was just stalling for time because she knew what I wanted to talk about and she didn’t want to have the conversation, or if she was really telling the truth. There were other females apart from me already up and dressed, ready to work, and I thought that meant she was wrong about me having too much to do. I assumed that the workload would go faster since it was being shared between us all but the bulk of the chores were assigned to me according to Gavrael’s instructions.Because of how busy I was throughout the day, I hadn’t been able to find time to talk to my grandmother about telling me what she knew about Gavrael. We spoke sometimes when we were working in proximity, but it was n
ADAIRA~Even after asking him what he wanted, he still didn’t speak. Was he trying to pretend that he wasn’t here? I could feel him so it was impossible for me not to know he was here, he must know that.“Just say what you want to say and go. As you can see, I don’t have the strength to argue with you, I can barely lift my head or any of my limbs, thanks to you. So what do you want?” I said to him.He was silent for a few more minutes before he finally spoke.“I just want to talk.” He said and I scoffed.“You want to talk? Or you came here to gloat? To rub it in my face that you warned me that this punishment wouldn’t be easy and you proved yourself right by wearing me out. Thanks but no thanks, just leave me alone.” I replied to him.“You’re the one who was so eager to talk to me, and now you’re chasing me away now that I’m here, yet you say I’m the confusing one. It’s me, Gav.”I managed to turn my head just as he stepped out of the shadows and the dim illumination from the moonlig
ADAIRA~The next day, Gavrael was back to being his prickly self. My first task today was to join him and his rogues while they trained and hand them towels and water where needed. So I was basically an errand girl. My wolf was restless within me as she watched them spar and train, because she wanted to join in. It had been so long since I let out my aggression by physically exerting myself till my limbs were weak. I missed feeling the adrenaline coursing through my veins while I fought, missed the rush of endorphins after a successful workout session, missed the sweat and grime and the cold shower afterwards followed by a hearty breakfast to stave the hunger and appetite I must have worked up. I wasn’t allowed to join them while they trained and it irked me.Or maybe what really annoyed me was seeing Midi all over Gavrael as usual. Seriously, the girl was like a leech and he didn’t do anything to discourage her. She was dressed in a pair of tiny cutoff shorts that barely covered her
ADAIRA~“What do you think you’re doing?” She scoffed.“Know your place, slave.” She said as she eyed me with disdain.She thought being close to Gavrael would save her somehow, that I would be too scared of him to actually attack her. And if I wasn’t so angry. I would have held back, but right now, there was no backing down till someone’s blood spills. I shoved her and she stumbled backwards with a look of surprise in her eyes.“This is the second time you’re trying to imprint my face on the sand, and it better be the last time. I don’t know what your problem is but I’m not dealing with it so be warned.” My voice was guttural because my wolf was close to the surface.Midi snarled and moved towards me.“How dare you lay your hands on me, you filthy mutt!” She yelled.“Between the both of us, who’s the mutt, rogue?” I said sarcastically“Better a rogue than a lowly slave. I could make you lick my feet right now and you would have no choice but to do it.” She said to me with a sneer.“
ADAIRA~Her claws sliced my face and nearly took out my eye. The wound was superficial and would heal soon, but I was so stunned that she tricked me so I tripped over my feet, fell and rolled over three times before my body stopped. Midi was on me in the next second and I yelled as her claws dug into my shoulders from behind. Now, my wolf was pissed. I rolled over to get her claws out of me. I knew it would really hurt and my flesh would get torn, but I did it anyway and then I let my wolf take over. I growled angrily as my paws hit the ground. I still felt the lingering pain in my shoulders from Midi’s claws digging into them, but it had mostly healed because of my shift from human to wolf.It was no secret that I was a better fighter in wolf form and not just because of the enhanced senses of a wolf. My wolf just had this special connection with nature that seemed to be more than regular wolves. Sometimes, it was like I could feel every particle of air that got into my lungs, feel
