FIONA'S POV“We should go back now; I think we've had enough fun.“ I said, thugging at arms, he had a smile on his lips.“Are you certain? We have more than enough time.” He responded with a question, I shook my head, nodding positively; it had something to do with his confession. I had said nothing when he made those utterances, and stared down at the city, watching the busy night and sparkling lights.Yet my heart had trailed off to the words he spoke; he was indeed a cousin to Marcellus, which meant he probably knew who I was, and if he didn't, it changed nothing; I had seen the sincerity in him and He had a look in his eyes when he confessed, hinting that it wasn't a joke, and I couldn't probe further.“Fine. A minute.” He asked, dashing into and emerging as a wolf; a smile stretched on my lips as I climbed onto his back. He wasn't as fast as when we approached the cliffs. He was steady, and a bit careful, the wind brushing past my skin with ease as the sound of the chirping of b
FIONA'S POV.“Why?” I whispered only to meet with his hardened gaze just as I had spoken, and I regretted my decision in a flash. Seeing him grin widely from ear to ear, he reached for a fancy belt, one I certainly had not placed there previously.And then, he had reached for a fabric, a scarf perhaps? I could tell just by how fast he had picked it up.“Get down, on all fours now, Fiona... Don't question me; I hate it.” He complained, something about his tone hinting at danger, yet a chill ran down my spine from excitement as I did just as he said, for a minute more, nothing else had happened.His gaze pierced through my skin as I glanced up at him, my hands and feet glued to the floor.“You look nervous taking this position.” He murmured, not exactly sure if he knew I heard, but his eyes had darkened now. And he was probably thinking to himself.“I wonder... How loud you'll scream kitten “ he mumbled in a husky tone,“I wonder how you will beg for more, and then beg for me to stop, i
MARCELLUS’ POV.Tossing from side to side, Light snores escaped her lips as she mumbled inaudible gibberish, smacking her lips. What was she dreaming about? A simple smile settled on my lips as I watched her sleep. I asked her to wake up after she gladly and graciously deep-throated me. She had fallen asleep quickly as soon as she had laid on the bed by my side.I feigned pretense, reading over a book in silence. At first, she was tense, but scarcely a few minutes after she had been snoring, I myself had dozed off only to wake up just now; it was dawn already, and I had barely slept at ease as I had done in a long time.I groaned from frustration, pulling myself off her bed. I didn't want to spread a baseless rumor amongst everyone about having a favorite amongst the mistresses, the only reason I'd been able to keep peace was by equal treatment. Besides I knew how harsh Lena could be, they would all probably dote on her like it had been her fault I barely slept in any of their rooms,
FIONA'S POV.I gritted my teeth, my body crawling with goosebumps feeling a sudden chill run down my spine, pushing open my eyes, I could see the woman over me, two of the ladies I had seen in the room with Marcellus the previous night. Lena was one of them. Lena was hovering above me with a bucket in her bandI panicked, standing from my bed, water dripping from my hair to my toe, my bed was soaking wet as my body was.“Why?” I managed to ask, holding back my tears brimming at the sides of my eye, I could see a wide smirk on Lena's Lips; she was having the best time of her life making my life a living hell, but I knew better than to give in; the bitch would have a splendid day if she knew she had hurt me and I broke down because of her.“Why?” The blonde amongst the two ladies mocked, yanking me by my hair.“You don't get to speak unless asked a question around here, little human.” Lena sneered, disgust evident in her words as she moved closer to me.“How dare you ruin their night?
FIONA'S POV.“Be like me? Be careful what you wish for, Fiona.” Darla whispered, approaching me. She helped me up against the couch. I watched in silence as she picked up the bucket, placed it in the bathroom, raised the Curtains, and changed the sheets, not because I didn't want to offer to help.But rather because I was too drained, too weak to even move an inch or say a word, Darla approached me, a smile on her face, settling right next to me.“I'm not the best person to wish for; I may be the first mistress, but that only goes so far. I'm not his favorite or anything, but I keep myself out of trouble, and Marcellus respects that.” I, in turn, respect her too; I've barely seen her apart from the first day, and she is right; she looked as though she wasn't interested in anything.“If you were the first mistress, why then did you allow more mistresses?” I wondered why she wasn't hurt; it was bad enough to have one co-wife, not to speak of ten or nine… the number went as fast as I co
MARCELLUS’ POV.Anger coursed through my veins as I turned over the file in my hands, irritably I tapped my finger against the desk, my mind somehow had managed to trail back to the previous night, and the annoying look Raphael had, also the courage he mustered this morning,He wanted Fiona. I understood her as lovable, sharp, and pretty, but I swear I would murder that bastard like I had promised if he laid his fingers on Fiona, or worse if I caught something as simple as his shadow lurking around her.I peered slowly, raising my glance in the direction of the door; a gentle knock was placed on the door, causing me to roll my eyes. Whoever it was would have to deal with my aggressions today, I was looking to blow off some steam anyway.What was it again? What more this time? Mumbling beneath my breath, I pushed off the file in my hands against the desk. Certainly, I ordered Trevor not to let anyone in or around my study today.“Come in,” I asked curtly, a frown on my face, which was
FIONA'S POVI jolted in bed from shock as continuous knocks were placed by the door, arching my eyebrows; I bit against my lower lip, worrying striking my nerves. Was it Lena? What more did she want from me?Cursing under my breath, I stuck to my feet, slowly approaching the door; the knock came again, steadier than the first. Bracing myself, I pushed open the doors.“Lady Fiona?” Instant relief coursed through my veins as a smile spread on Raphael’s lips, he tucked both hands together and leaned right by my door frame.“You don't look too excited,” he asserted, arching his eyebrow. I glanced around suspiciously, weary of the environment, before taking him by his arm and pulling him into the room in haste, I slammed the door, staring wide-eyed at him, wondering if he was indeed innocent or was fuckimg dumb.“Why are you here?!” I asked, glancing around the room, my tone hushed, worried that someone might hear and things would end up in a pretty bad way for him.“I promised to see you
LENA’S POV.“Lena!” The Alpha king’s cold voice had called, causing me to tremble.“Your Highness,” I responded, trying to act as calmly as I could as he approached me. He had a stiff frown on his face, and it worried me. It was not time for me to tend to his bed, but it didn't seem like he was here for such a thing as that.“I believe you are free right now?” He asked and I nodded, gesturing that he take his seat, my mind racing through a million of my thoughts as to why he was here.“Did I do anything wrong, my lord?” I asked; I didn't like Marcellus in a terrible mood; it made every nerve of mine set ablaze.“How is the training going along?” He asked, taking me by surprise, My eyes were boring into his.“What training?” I asked, trying to recall what he meant, yet nothing had popped up.“Fiona's, I made it clear to you that you began her lessons about pack duties, did I not?” He asked, tapping his fingers against his sides; he did that when he was often pissed. I swallowed a visi
FIONA'S POV.“Fine, get out, both of you. Lena needs to rest; besides, I could care less about what she does with her time or where she goes; she's probably going to put you in harm's way as well.” Marcekkus deadpanned, his gaze stiffened; our eyes locked for a moment, and all I could see was irritation in them; he must really loathe me.I swallowed a lump in my throat, trying back to hold my tears; he wasn't worth it; no one was. Rachel lowered his gaze to match mine, a reassuring smile on his lips as he locked his eyes into mine.“Common, let's go.” He whispered, drawing me closer to himself, neither of us saying a thing to the other as we walked out of the door, and down the corridor, we approached the garage, and he had the gesture that I settled into the seat as he held out the door for me. “I don't... Are you sure this is a good idea? I really don't want you getting in your arms or hurting out. I stuttered out, my voice thinning out as I spoke.“Just get in, Fiona! Don't make m
FIONA POV. My gut twisted hearing those words; it wasn't the physical pain he had caused me that bothered me; it was, in fact, I didn't like the manner in which he had spoken. I didn't like it; this act was going too far, but even so, I contemplated what to say or do; it wasn't seeming to be an act anymore.Yet he wouldn't do that to me, right?“Well, don't just stand there like a mute and come with me now! " he ordered sternly, not sparing me a glance. My body shook, as though there was friction in my feet. I dragged myself behind him, pain stabbing away at my sides.I feel myself briefly at a loss for words; he wasn't saying anything, his eyes were pinned ahead, and I could only walk in hisSomething was off; I wanted to reach out to him, to ask him if something had happened to piss him off. I wanted to do anything but imagine the worst, but it seemed as though there was a gap between us.“Come on, move faster, pipsqueak.”Pipsqueak? That had done it, broken me, he stopped by the d
FIONA'S POV.“They all call you a witch, you know?” Maya whispered, easing herself into the chair beside me. She looked uneasy; on her toes, she wasn't relaxed. I didn't like this progress. Maya would usually be bickering around now causing a fuss and filling me on whatever gossip the maids had to tender.“You can relax, Maya, I won't bite you, not you, maybe others, but please, I was poisoned, and then I was framed. You were there and saw it too; you know better. I have to act tough for a few days, or they'll all walk all over me." I exclaimed,Then the light came to her eye once again, I could see her countenance brighten up after listening to my words.“Finally I can breathe. I knew something was odd with their descriptions; it sounded like they were spinning lies off the web, but I couldn't say anything. I wasn't certain either; besides, I have it in bed; they'll hate me more than they do if I try defending you.” Maya complained with a pout. She looked adorable, escaping my lips a
FIONA'S POV.My heartbeat picked its pace as I pulled off my top, slowly I did the same with my panties, and; finally, I was bare before them, naked. They were women, but it was the first time in a long while since anyone had ever bathed me.“Lady Fiona.” The first of the three girls had spoken, stretching forth her hands toward the ub, although it was obvious they had stolen lots of cautious gazes at me, yet it still seemed as though they were careful of being caught. I doubt I had anything to do with it; it was probably because it all started with an order from Marcellus, and they had to be orderly and not screw up in any possible way.A loud whine coursed through my lips as soap eased down my body; it had stung harder than I thought. She was quick to wash away the lather of soap on my skin, now shivering as she begged continuously.“I'm sorry, my lady, I don't mean to hurt you; I... will be careful next time”. She pleaded, her head bowed. At first, I felt pity for her; usually, I w
MARCELLUS’ POVRaymond had approached as soon as I walked out of the room; three maids passed me with a bow before heading toward Fiona.“I'm sorry, Your Highness, I had fallen asleep as I got into the room, earlier on, I just got the wind of the news as I woke." Raymond apologized, closing in the space between us,I made a sharp turn towards my study; he walked in behind me, looking just as worried as I was. I punched against the table, seething with rage, those bastards, they had me cornered.“What will I do, Raymond?.I'm lost and confused, and I see no way out this time,” I admitted staring intently at him; a groan coursed through my lips; I had no idea what I was doing.“Who did it? I'm sure Miss Fiona didn't... or did she?” Raymond asked, staring wide-eyed at me. I shook my head, nodding negatively.“No, she didn't, although I'm uncertain why Lena had done something as horrible as that. I know she's goal-driven and gritty even, but that far? I had no idea she could drive herself
FIONA'S POV.A loud scream coursed through my lips on reflex, in sin to his orders; however, my body had not been lashed. The whip was simply still midway in the air.Isn't he here to punish me? To act out? To blame me“What are you doing?” I asked, his fingers hastily pressed gently against my lips.“Don't say a word. I need them to think I lashed you,” he blurted out. I corked my brows, too stunned to speak; now things were winding out of hand pretty fast, and judging from the glint in his eyes, I could tell he was having a blast at the moment.“What are you up to, Marcellus? Didn't Darla get to you already?” I asked, and he let go of the whip in his grasp leaning his back against the wall with a smirk strapped to the sides of his lips.“I did; she explained petty tricks to me, which is why you have to do just as I tell you.” He entrusted his chin to my hair now, causing me to immediately realize how tall and muscular this man was.We've had sex now. But I still couldn't get my head
MARCELLUS’’ POV.A groan escaped my lips as I reached out for my phone, highlighting from the car with Raymond by my side. It was a good day to go golfing. My best friend and I are against the world.“I need rest; I'll head on to my room now,” Raymond complained, stretching his back.“Rest? All you did was lose,” I teased my daughter.“and all you did was cheat.” He snapped right back, and we both burst into laughter. I made a mental reminder to go on a trip like this twice at least every month; we bonded over the golf, and small talks here and there; he even got himself a lover. One of the neighboring betas daughters, and I had no idea,Although I was no fool, I could tell her relationship had suffered due to his inability to spend time with her; I couldn't roll around in bed with all nine of my mistresses… ten, including Fiona, while he stood guard and did all my jobs. One of these days, after I've gotten rid of the council and their chastises, I would finally be able to give him a
FIONA'S POV“I didn't do it!” I screamed, thrashing my arms away from them, kicking, pulling, and screaming as loud as I could, yet no one had listened to me. I'm dragged out by both arms, my feet scratching against the floor. I wasn't scared. But I didn't want people to get wind of the news either,“My lady,” Maya screamed, rushing towards me; I could see sincere worry in her eyes.“I'll get Lady Darla for you now," she screamed as I was dragged away from her sight. Lena was a bitch, but doing this, hurting herself to pin her blame on me, was one of the wildest ideas anyone could ever have.I'm tossed into a dimly lit cell, the coldness of the tiles harshly biting my skin as I fall. Colliding with the floor with a heavy impact, a light wince coursed through my lips as I tried to get off the floor.“Don't beg for help. Don't ask for food. Eat what is given, and if you need to go. There's a bucket in there,” the guard snapped before marching away from me. I jolted backward, seeing a li
FIONA'S POV.He looked curious, antsy, and on edge, and I preferred that; perhaps seducing him wasn't as hard, or it might be just as Raphael had said: he'll get bored of me soon and take in a new mistress.Not that I believed a single thing that eased across his lips anyway; he lied to me; he knew I was poisoned and did nothing; then of course two could play the game just as well.Starting off from the basics, I needed to be his favorite, and gain as much power as I could; perhaps it wouldn't be as easy as I expected it to be, but not that I had anything else to do.It was either this or I'd end up dead one way or another, so I'd prefer trying than waiting for Lena or Darla to make a feast of my head.“Why do you glare at me like that, Fiona? You are scaring the fuck out of me, you know? He asked with a giggle, but he could tell something about me had changed; I snapped it was his fault after all.I grumbled in low tones, pulling myself away from his grasp.“Tonight, nine… be by my d
