AdeaThe rooster crowing announced the start of a new day. My eyes flew open and the bed dipped as Ethan got up. I got a look at his backside and my mouth went dry. I stayed still in hopes that he would leave me alone. As his footsteps retreated I let out a quiet sigh of relief. There was a knock at the door and I watched in horror as he walked butt naked to open it. I pulled the sheets up to my chin to cover my body as two servants walked in with platters in hand.One warriors stood by the door and told them to get to it. The maids bowed to Ethan and when they looked up their eyes widened at seeing his nakedness. The room was a mess and I don’t think anyone should be walking through it, but what I thought didn’t matter here. It never did. The servants bowed their heads and kept their eyes on the floor as they walked through the carnage that was my room.I balled my hand into a fist as I watched them tiptoe and step over debris left over from Ethan’s show of force last night. I blocke
The silence in the room was suffocating. It felt as if I were in a room on fire and I was forced to sit still. I had to pretend I wasn’t afraid and play the game of survival with the man who claimed me as his. I was forced to ignore the way my heart cried out for the man he mentioned. I had to act as if I hadn’t thought about jumping to my death just a few moments before.“That’s not why I asked. I’ve never left the pack without my father and sister by my side. This agreement, this change is still new to me and will take some time for me to get used to,” I said.“You have all the time in the world to get used to it. This is your life now.”He reminded me as if I needed the reminder that I was his. It was if I hadn’t been told that for almost my entire life. Because I needed to be told after we announced it to the pack and all the packs in attendance. It was like I wasn’t there last night for the entire time he forced himself on me.“I know very well that this is my life now,” I said.
Fuck yes.“Fuck you and fuck your tiny little cock, Ethan!” I screamed as I jumped to my feet.I knew my actions would have consequences but fuck it felt good. I threw my head back and laughed hysterically. I probably looked insane but maybe I was. Ethan doesn’t know me or anything about me. He can say whatever he liked but he was a fool if he thought I would just lay down and take his abuse.“You’re going to regret this,” Ethan groaned.“Oh, baby. You’re wrong. You’re so fucking wrong. I’ll never regret that,” I laughed.He lifted his chin to glare up at me and I smiled down my nose at him. Goddess, I felt so strong. I stood here and soaked in the feeling of having him on his knees in front of me. I got a sick sense of satisfaction as I looked at the pain in his eyes.“You will,” Ethan promised.“I need you to hear me out. I will fight you tooth and nail every time you try and touch me. I won’t just take it. I will make your life a living hell. Whatever you do to me I’ll double it. I
The door opened with a creak and one of the warriors made his way in first. He completed ignored me but bowed low to Ethan. I wasn’t sure if I cared anymore about the lack of consideration anyone in this pack showed me. Once he stepped aside he motioned for someone else to come in. I waited anxiously as the guest stepped forward. A flowing long red dress led up to a trimmed waist, lifted breasts, and a long loose braid as my sister walked into the room. Her head was held high while she eyed the chaos that littered the floor. Her eyebrow arched in question as her gaze darted across the room, over the bed, and finally rested on the two of us seated by the window.What was she doing here?“Good morning, Alpha Ethan,” Ava said.She curtsied and bowed her head low. I looked back and forth between the two of them. The guard cleared his throat, bowed, and made his way back to his assigned post. When the door closed Ethan glanced at her before his focus returned to me. I shook my head and loo
The turning of wheels on gravel fill the air as three carriages pulled up in front of the pack house. My father stood by the front door with Ava by his side. Ethan stood to my Father’s let and I by his side. My clothes had been packed this morning and the servants had them ready to be loaded. The warriors lined stood in two parallel lines starting at the foot of the stairs and ending at the bottom of the lane where the carriage would stop. Dread filled me as the carriages came to a stop one by one.“Alpha Ethan, it has been an honor to have you. My daughter will serve you well. I hope to hear good news soon,” father said.Ava choked on air and rolled my eyes. I hated that the laws of man worked against my favor. My only use in this world was to spread my legs and bare children. I did find a small bit of satisfaction knowing my sister was hurt by this. It was the only thing I could hold onto.It was the only thing that could come close to distracting me from what was happening. I could
AdeaEthan led me into the castle the sound of my shoes echoes against the walls. The first room, if you could call it that, that we walked into was as large as my father’s meeting hall. It was maybe two or three stories tall, the walls went up, up, up and almost looked endless from where I stood. Twin stairways on opposite sides of the room with red velvet rugs that adorned the floors and lanterns that decorated the wall and led up to a corridor that seemed to hang in midair.We took the first right and walked down a hallway of stone and an arched ceiling. Large windows brought in natural light. I looked outside as we continued to walk and gasped at the sight. The view from the hallway alone was breathtaking. Trees on top of trees and wildlife as deer frolicked and birds flew.“Beautiful,” I whispered.Ethan didn’t say anything as we exited the hallway and entered a large room with chaise lounges and arched windows with stained glass. For the first time today I looked to him but he i
The look in his eyes isn’t hard to decipher. It’s one filled with lust and want. I already know what’s going to happen. I know what he wants before he says it. I can already feel his touch on my body and a shiver of fear runs over me. His eyes are locked on me as I stand with my hand on the shelf by my side. I lowered my hand and held it in front of me as I tried to come up with a way out of this.“I can see your little mind at work. Why don’t you leave the thinking to me and come over here. I won’t tell you again, Adealine,” Ethan said.His voice dripped with lust despite the warning. I looked over at the window as I considered throwing myself out of it. I already knew I wouldn’t but it didn’t mean I didn’t want to. It didn’t mean I didn’t long for a way to escape the new hell I just walked into.How long would it take for me to fall to my death in the river below?If I ran would I make it to the glass before Ethan caught up to me?Would I even be able to throw myself out before he d
“Fuck you, Ethan. I won’t cry for you and I’ll never stop fighting you,” I promised.“One day you’ll want me, crave me. One day you’ll love me,” Ethan murmured.“I’d put myself out of my own misery before I ever love you,” I cursed.“Have it your way,” Ethan said. “But I can be gentle. If not for my queen than for who? All you need to do is ask.”I ignored him as his hands pulled open the buckles on the front of his pants. I looked away, refusing to look at him. The last thing I wanted was to have that ingrained in my mind. I felt his hands on my waist next before they slid down my thighs. When he bunched the skirt of my dress in his hands and lifted I couldn’t stand still anymore.I lifted my head back and brought it forward. It crashed against his nose with a crack. I swayed left and right as blood gushed down his lips and dripped off of his chin. He cursed but didn’t stop moving. His fingers trailed up the back of my thigh and up to my backside. I tried to wriggle away but his hand
