2024-10-29 19:42:56EPISODE 5: Wishes and death
Ariel was back at the kitchen and this time, her hands were all red and her skin itched with irritation and irrationality.
Tears were dripping from her eyes and her nose dripped so much, it had further turned red. However, her tears weren’t for the pain she was feeling in her gut, due to the fact that she had not eaten for days, neither was it because of the pain and ache her chest and bones felt for laying on the cold, hard ground for days, it was not because of the thirst her throat felt that seemed like it was burning neither was it for the pathetic life she was living. It was because of the punishment she was serving. Rather than coming into the kitchen to work like every other slave was, she was being given a punishment for waking up late. Her eyes watered as she turned to the bag of chili pepper right before her. It had not gotten anyway yet. Her body was burning so much. How was she supposed to peel them all?
“How can I ever finish this?” her thoughts questioned, and she sniffed. Perhaps it was truly the best that she remained with the darkness where it was best. It was a perfect hiding place and in there, she wouldn’t have to feel all the pains of the world, neither would she be tortured and slaved away like that. It was truly the best, the very best, and the more she thought of it, the more her heart longed for it.
Her thoughts were interrupted when a slave ran into the kitchen, drenching in sweat and ecstasy. The other slaves present turned to her with both worry and annoyance in their gaze.
“What happened?” they asked, one after the other. Ariel’s heart ached even more at the care and concern they showed the other slave. It might be fake, unreal or not concern at all, but at least they were asking, at least, they could surround her, at least they were even talking to her.
“When was the last time I was asked that?” her spirit questioned silently. She dropped her head and allowed the pain she had gotten accustomed to spread through her body till it would no longer ache.
“Fifteen, sixteen, seventeen years, has it been?” she smiled bitterly at herself. She had never been asked if she had eaten, neither had she ever been asked if she was fine. No one spoke to her except they wanted to yell or punish her for something. No one even bothered to look at her twice. She was like a taint, an unpleasant sight, garbage that had no one’s time. Not even on the days she fainted, nor was it on the day she was beaten up. No one cared, no one showed concern, and no one moved out of the way to check on her. If she falls unconscious right there in the kitchen, she would wake up at the side of the garbage can tomorrow morning, or would wake up at the exact place she fell unconscious. If she was beaten to a pulp and needed help, no one gave her a listening ear, neither did anyone stretch a hand towards her. No one tended to her wounds and no one cared if she died or not. Perhaps that was what they wanted, her death.
“Alpha Damien just returned,” the maid who had rushed into the kitchen shrieked in excitement. Ariel pulled away from her trance and her ears perked up immediately.
Ariel's eyes widened in shock at the revelation.
Fear like death squeezed her heart and its deathly claw caressed her skin, feeling her with cold and trembling. The last time the alpha was there, she had borne the brunt of his hate and anger. Fear enveloped her as she recalled the countless nights and days spent on the bear ground till her wounds fully healed.
The other servant shrieked as well in excitement. He was their alpha after all and they all had love for him beyond human comprehension.
A bond the pack had with each other was stronger than anything else. Not to add that they were women and could as well dream of the handsome, sexy alpha too in ways any other woman would.
“And the best news,” the servant who had run in entered and they all went still and quiet as their ears itched to hear the other news, she brought with her.
“He is coming right here,” she yelled. Ariel shot up from where she sat in chagrin.
Her heart began beating very loud and fear settled at the pit of her heart as it slowly began to squeeze the life out of her. Suddenly a wave of dizziness slammed against her and her legs went numb. She turned to the girls screaming and shrieking and stretched her hand towards them, for help, a little touch, a little hand, anything. But coldness met her and while she fell into that familiar dark hole, no one dared pull her out. she was met with nothing but that familiar coldness. And right before she finally slipped, blue steel gaze penetrated her very being.
“Can’t you die too,” a stray tear fell down her eyes as her thought wished as she fell once again into an unconcious slumber.

Alpha Damien In his room
Ariel slowly opened her heavy eyelids. Peeling them open took such a tremendous effort from her, that she immediately felt the little energy left in her veins drained off like water in a basket. She groaned, only able to open her eyes to a tiny squint. Not only were her eyes swollen, and in pain, but they were also bloodshot, from crying so hard from all the suffering the Alpha inflicted on her last night.She had cried so hard that her eyes ran dry, with the salty residue of her pain, leaving nasty crusts in her eyes that only added to the extreme discomfort.Slowly, she moved her head to the side, blinking to clear her blurry vision. It felt so cold around her, that she could not even tell her surroundings apart. The cold was permeating her head from beneath, soaking into her brain and scattering her senses. She could not even tell left apart from right.Slowly, she recognized where she lay as the floor of the Alpha’s room. She was in the Alpha’s room.That realisation sent the cold
Alpha Damien Not again
Luckily for her, he walked past her like she didn't even exist. She was sure he had something to do in his room, if not, he would have stopped to hit her and for the first time, she was grateful for the fact that someone ignored her. Maybe he was storming into the room to look for her, her subconsciousness said. She quickly hurried to the kitchen.As she got back to the kitchen, the feeling of dread at what awaits her, befell upon her. She was still in pain over what he did to her, and she knew that there would be more work awaiting her as she got there.She was right, as she stepped into the kitchen, she saw the heap of plates awaiting her return, and the head maid was ever so kind to point it out."You have to finish up the dishes. I asked one of the girls to begin the work after your little fiasco," she said, sneering, as she obviously believed that she had no reason to have fainted upon hearing their great alpha's name."After you're done with them, let me know, so I can compile th
Alpha Damien Nice butt
It was going to be a huge party and a sophisticated one at that, the whole place was busy with maids going about making sure everything was set. They were not exactly doing anything, just monitoring what Ariel was doing.Ariel was in the dining room, cleaning the tables and chairs and setting them perfectly for the guests. She looked around the big dining room and wondered how she would be able to finish cleaning it and setting it up before the Alphas arrived.She wished somebody could come and help her with the chore at least because she was so worked out. As she may have had it, a little luck shone on her and a girl who was one of the servants, came to assist her.Ariel felt so happy, as she saw the girl come in. She couldn't remember her name, but she knew she had seen her often in the kitchen while she was doing the dishes.Ariel walked towards the girl to try to start up a conversation, at least she was her helper.“Hello, I'm Ariel,” she said, smiling, trying to stir up a convers
Alpha Damien For how long?
In tears, she walked into her room. She couldn’t help but think about how she’d cope with such treatment for the rest of her life. She sniffled, as she wiped her tears before shutting the door behind her. Ariel knew she had to get used to this sort of treatment, as there was no one to even help her.She knew there would be no one to stand up for her, but deep down, she wanted someone to. She wanted someone that would always take a stand for her, someone who would punish anyone who dared to say shameless things about her, but sadly, she had no one.Remembering all these, tears streamed down her cheeks. She remembered all the shameless words those alphas had spoken about her and worst of it all, they didn’t say it behind her, they’d said it right in front of her.Didn’t they think she’d have feelings? Did they not think she was a creature who had the right to feel bad whenever such things were sad about her? She slid to the ground in tears. All she wanted was to live a decent life, one,
Alpha Damien Mate
Alpha Damien stormed towards the person he hated most in the world—Ariel.He wanted to torture her, torture her so much that, she would feel pain that, even he, had never felt before. He wanted to punish and torture her to the extent that, she would beg him to kill her. Likewise, he wanted her to feel a pulsing type of pain never experienced before, so much that his heart ached, and he felt a blinding anger taking over him, consuming his whole body.His eyes blazed red with fury, as he looked at her. He was so close to her now that he could scent her fear. It permeated the surrounding air, cloying to the entire environment like a leech. The pathetic girl cowered before Alpha Damien, her head bowed down so much that it touched her chest and her body was trembling, trembling so much that it seemed as if she had been thrown into a magnetic field.He grinned to himself because of the effect he was having on her. He was very well aware of the sheer terror that was being presented to her. It
Alpha Damien Sin of a father
Getting out of the room, she was met by a huge gathering of the pack members. She stared forward to see why everyone gathered. It’s probably one of those impromptu meetings. The Alpha, Damien, walked down majestically from the stairs, his composure was grandly towering, as if he wasn’t the one that nearly strangled her minutes ago. He had some Beta wolves, who served as guards behind him. He glared around the room, as he suspiciously scrutinised everyone.Ariel could almost swear when his eyes met with hers in an unfriendly manner, he let out a scowl, and frowned. She sighed because she was the least happy person in that room, who craved his presence.“I would be leaving today for a trip,” he said rather briefly, catching everyone off-guard.Ariel was not aware when she let out a sigh, no it wasn't just a sigh, it was a breath of relief. She had let out an obvious breath of relief, causing everyone to ominously shift their gaze upon her for a second.She prayed instantly the ground wou
Alpha Damien What now?
Ariel caressed her cheeks that stung like hell. The metallic tang of blood filled her mouth, and she resisted the urge to spit it in the head cook's face. It would earn her another slap and while she prided in her perseverance, it was not an excellent idea.She stomped across the dark marbled floors of the mansion, thinking of several creative ways she could poison both Damien and the head maid. Though, it would be pretty obvious if she used poison. They would trace it back to her. She thought about grinding glass as an ingredient in their food and decided against it. They would definitely trace the deaths back to her.They already thought she was something she wasn't. It would not be hard to pin it all on her.Stupid mansion. Stupid head maid. Stupid Alpha. She thought.Her thoughts wandered to that night, that moment everything had gone to hell. That moment, something deep and powerful had taken a strong hold within her. A bond so strong, it had caused her knees to buckle. Her heart
Alpha Damien Elle
Ariel was a bit surprised, as to why they were being called into the corridor again because the head had told them three days ago that they would not be called to the corridor any more.They were always called into the corridor for only two things. One, to inspect them carefully for any form of sicknesses or if they were in any bad state, and the second one, was to make sure that all the slaves were still around and no one had run away.They had been doing this for a while, but Ariel didn't know why she felt weird today. She felt like going into the corridor was going to put her into some trouble or as if something bad was going to happen to her.The only time something bad had happened when they went to the corridor, was when one of her fellow slaves, Emma, was pregnant; she didn't know about it, until they went for their normal inspection.Ariel could still hear her screams as she was being dragged away. She shivered as the memory creeped back into her head.She looked around, and sh

Alpha Damien The end~
"Uggh!" William groaned as he arched his back. He loosened his grip on Damien and staggered backwards. Damien coughed and sat up tiredly. He finally noticed that an arrow had pierced the back of William's head. There was not healing or coming back from that!Damien sighed in relief and looked around for the person who shot it. From the balcony on the second floor, he saw Elle standing there with her bow drawn. She seemed to be shocked by what she had just done as she stared wide eyes at her bow.Damien diverted his gaze back to William, who had now collapsed on the floor. He seemed to stare longingly in a particular direction as the light faded from his eyes and he went on a journey to the underworld. He looked in the direction William was looking and saw that he was staring at Ariel!Annoying prick! He just didn't want to let her go, even in death? Damien stood and walked towards where William lay. He used his feet to turn William's head in a different direction. He knew that his acti
Alpha Damien Marking
After they both marked each other, they shared a really nice kiss and after so many hours of talking, imagining their futures together, they finally slept.The next morning, Ariel jolted from the bed and she opened her eyes instantly. She looked around and she saw Damien sleeping peacefully, with his hand lying lazily on her waist. She had thought that her mating with Damien was a really good dream that she badly wanted to come to pass.She touched her neck and she could still feel the heat from last night. She pushed her head into the pillow and smiled. It wasn't a dream at all. It really happened. She turned her head to face Damien . She didn't want to wake him up, but she couldn't help touching his face, nose, hair and literally everything her hand could touch at that moment. She was touching his hair, when her eyes went to his lips and she started using her index finger to trace the little line around his lips. She was really enjoying what she was doing and she started laughing to
Alpha Damien Mine
"Find him!" Damien 's voice boomed across the kitchen and Ariel flinched as well as the rest of the sentries who scampered out after his outburst. "Hey," He said softly, reaching for Ariel, but she flinched again, breathing hard and fast, staring at the direction in which Williams had gone, eyes wide with fear and despair. "Ar--" A whimper escaped her and he hated that he could smell her fear. He hated that she trembled so much. It hadn't been long since he had made her go through the same fear. He had made those tears drop from her eyes, broken her spirit, broken her heart, and...seeing her now, with the same fear in her eyes...he hated himself for everything he'd done to her. "Ariel," he said, barely able to hear his voice over his raging heart. Ariel didn't either as her sobs began in full earnest. It was like he didn't exist. She couldn't see him. Or hear him. She was scared out of her mind. "Ariel!" He roared, unable to keep his wolf at bay. Her gaze snapped to him and her so
Alpha Damien Feel him
When they were all done and once everybody had departed and gone to celebrate, Ariel walked up to Damien , Alex and Elle at the podium."Looks like someone's gonna get a beating" Alex snickered. Come on Elle. Let's leave them alone""Ariel , I can explain" Damien tried defending"Well I'm listening" she said as she put her hands on her waist and stood akimbo. She wasn't angry at all but it was very fun to see him fidget, this alone made her laugh"Why are you laughing??" He asked her clearly suspicious, someone who laughed when they were angry are psychotic people"Because it's funny. And just so you know" she poked him in his chest as she said "just because I'm laughing doesn't mean I'm not angry. You could have at least warned me. I was really worried"It was if as the days went on he fell for this wonderful woman standing right in front of him more and more"I'm sorry. We're sorry. It won't happen again" he said, giving her a hug which she deeply sank into. She had missed him and hi
Alpha Damien Long day
Damien 's legs finally remembered their functions and they ran to meet Ariel. He instantly hugged her as he saw her standing right in front of him. He felt really happy to see her, he really felt so good. Only Ariel could give him that type of happiness and satisfaction. He started beaming at her, forgetting about anything that didn't involve her. He even forgot about Alex, who was the one that even woke him up with the mindlink.Ariel ignored the burning sensation that she was feeling in her injury and she buried her face into his chest. She started crying and Damien raised her head up. "Hey, hey. Why are you crying?" Damien asked her. Ariel ignored the question and she buried her face into his chest again, while crying. Damien just rubbed the back of her head slowly, trying to make her stop crying. He could feel the wetness of her tears soaking his top. He raised her head and he told her to come into the room.The both of them went into the room, her hands in his hands, with his fing
Alpha Damien Alex
When Ariel saw Damien looking like he was half dead in Alex's hands, her heart skipped so many beats and she ran towards him. At the moment, she was just thinking one thing; Damien . Her eyes were so focused on him. When she was just a few steps away from him, Alex stretched his hand forward, to stop her from moving any closer to Damien. When he did that, she looked up at him with confusion written all over her face. She didn't know why Alex stopped her from hugging Damien when he clearly needed her hug more than ever. She ignored his stretched out hand and she tried moving closer to him, but this time, she continued pushing his hand. He was too strong of her and after a few more failed trials, Ariel finally gave up. She backed away from Alex and Damien and she left the way for Alex to bring Damien in.When Alex brought Damien in, Ariel seized the opportunity to ask him why he didn't want her to help him with carrying Damien inside. She folded her hands against her chest and she looked
Alpha Damien Hurting
After Alex mindlinked Jasmine to come to the hospital with Tobias so that they could find Damien, both of them quickly arrived at the hospital as fast as they could and together. They began the search for Damien. Three of them searched high and low for Damien, but they did not find him. They searched every nook and cranny of the hospital, but they still didn't find him. By that time, they were worried.How could Damien have left the hospital when Alex had specifically informed all the doctors and nurses not to allow him to leave there? They were certainly never going to hear the end of this if Damien was found. Alex couldn't let them go scot free after what they just did. He had clearly given them specific orders, but they had failed to carry them out, as he had asked them to. They had let the Alpha go out of the hospital and roam around on his own, without the protection of anyone when he wasn't feeling too well. Alex vowed to deal with them mercilessly after this, but they had to fin
Alpha Damien Tobias
The bright afternoon sun shone on Elle’s face, thus making her squint into the brightness. It was late afternoon, and she was in one of those moods where she only wanted to be with her bundle of joy.Her hair flew into her mouth when a wild air blew and she quickly chugged it out as she tried to talk, but ended up chuckling when her baby laughed at her.Everything She did was quite funny to him; even when she was at her lowest, he still always found something to laugh at or laugh with.Right now, she was sitting at a corner on the floor of the archery field, enjoying the view and the breezy atmosphere whilst watching her baby boy bounce ever so energetically around the open field chasing butterflies but frowning whenever they flew past him.With a smile on her face, she got up and began dancing around as her son cheered her on gleefully. To Elle, nothing else mattered aside from him and the fact that he was happy, not even her own life mattered.Just as they were busy dancing around ea
Alpha Damien Alpha
Damien returned to the room in the hospital where Ariel laid, her condition now worsening. He entered to see the doctor and nurses around her trying to examine her condition. The doctor there was checking the life machine they had placed Ariel on and the nurses all stood too watching him and awaiting his directives. Damien inside the room now became confused as to what they were doing there. He had left her side not long ago and she was perfectly okay so he wondered what the problem might be now as anger began to build within him. He began demanding from them what was wrong and what they were there doing to her. Restless and impatient for an answer, he began snapping at everyone there. They tried to calm him down but failed in the attempt. The doctor who was trying his best to keep Damien calm gave up as he saw the Alpha already raging after hearing the news that Ariel ’s pulse had slowed.“Get Alex here immediately!” the doctor ordered one of his nurses.Quickly, the nurse Mindlinked
