Protected By The Dark King Theodore Knight

Cecilia's POV :

"Aahh! Get away from me. " I screamed angrily, as the slave master continued to hit me with the silver whip even after I had started bleeding profusely.

Since the last three months, I was served food twice in four days and only one glass of water was allowed per day. On top of that, they would make me clean the toilets for hours without any day off.

"How many times will you try to escape? Are you not scared of me, little wolf? " He shouted, the saliva from his mouth getting all over my face.

I could snap his neck but without Riley I was nothing. My wolf had gone into complete hibernation since the time the pack mark was snatched away from her.

"Let me go… " I managed to speak by gathering all the energy left in my body.

He gritted his teeth, " Beta Jonathan is going to have so much fun taming a wild wolf like you. Do you know what he does to his sweet little slaves? Huh? "

My heart skipped a few beats at the mention of Beta Jonathan. He was a merciless predator, notoriously known for torturing his slaves to death.

No, I couldn't let him buy me. Being a slave to Beta Jonathan meant signing your death will.

"Master, please forgive me… " I bowed down at his feet, pretending to submit.

I winced as my broken ribs came into contact with each other as I begged him.

" Your apologies are too late now. Beta Jonathan is on his way to take you to his pack. It's time to get ready for your departure, little wolf. "

He kicked me hard before walking away out of my sight. Through my hazy eyes, I saw a young omega squatting down to help me get up.

"Please, get up… Master commanded me to get you ready for Beta Jonathan. we need to be in the make-up room within five minutes… "

I pushed the floor with my hands to stand up. The makeup room was the only chance I would get to escape and I had to trick the omega by knocking her down.

As she asked me to sit and bent to take the makeup box out of the shelf, I punched the back of her head.

"Oouchh! That was a really bad attempt… " She gave me a sad smile.

I sighed feeling my weak hands and the reality hitting my senses. The lack of food and water had made me so pathetic that I couldn't take out another person with my bare hands.

"I’m sorry. I just want to escape. I don't want to be Beta Jonathan's slave… "

Finally, I let go of my mask of pretending to be strong and hugged her.

"I can still see the spark in those green eyes of yours. I lost it years ago. " She wiped my tears.

Hurriedly, she gave me a key. "I stole it from a master. It will take you to the woods and you can escape to any pack from there. "With that being said, she pretended to faint.

I gripped it tightly in my palm, making it bleed to feel the touch of freedom in my skin, “I'll come back again and save you.”

I didn't waste any single second as I rushed to my feet, ignoring the burning pain in my muscles. Luckily, there weren't any guards here and I was able to kick open the door. The cold air slapped against my face as the scent of woods and mud called out to me.

I could almost smell the freedom in the air.

But before I could put my foot out, someone dragged me back by gripping my hair. I cried out in pain as the sound of hundreds of hair uprooting from my scalp echoed in my ears.

"My little bitch was running away… " A man with a dangerous scent whispered in my ear.

Fear crippled me as he kept my throat in a chokehold and it made breathing impossible.

Beta Jonathan… It was him! My eyes widened with fear as I saw my death standing right in front of me.

No, No…he was going to kill me. I couldn't let him own me. I had to escape this monster. So, I tried to bite his hand to losen his grip but he was quick and his fists felt like sharp a sword making my insides get on fire.

"I am going to make you regret trying that stunt on me, bitch… " He screamed like a maniac.

He yanked me to the ground so hard, my back hit against the cold tiles making the pain rush through my backbone. With his fist,he grabbed my hair and forced me to look up at his ugly face.

"Anyone wants to see a pair of young breasts? " Beta Jonathan announced to the buyers who were the same monsters as him.

The crowd of those perverts jumped with excitement as they waited for him to rip off my clothes.

No… no… I couldn't just give in like this. Beta Jonathan would abuse me to death. And these perverts, they could do anything!

But before I could react, he ripped my clothes off. I heard those guys screaming even more excitedly. Their bidding rates followed the very next second as the piece of cloth was snatched away from my body.

Despair almost consumed me, but I reminded myself that I had to fight and defend myself. I snarled and attacked his neck. My teeth pierced deep into his flesh and he instantly got away from me. The taste of his dirty blood satisfied my desire for revenge.

"How dare you? " The master quickly stood between us and slapped me.

"No, leave her alone. She's my prey. Get me that whip. I want to take out her willpower and she will give each one of us a blow job after I am done with her… " Jonathan roared as he kicked me in the belly and raised his hand to strike me.

I didn't have any strength left to fight back. I curled up into a ball, letting him do whatever he wanted to do with my body, feeling desperate.

But before the silver whip could touch me, he was knocked to the floor by a huge magnificent wolf who threw his body meters away without much effort. Several fierce wolves accompanied the black wolf who took down the other buyers.

Jonathan's eyes shifted to yellow but he didn't shift to wolf. Instead, everyone present there, fell on their knees when a tall, dominating man walked in.

The man's aura must be powerful because I could see everyone's eyes were stuck to the floor in submission. His sharp jawline moved as he commanded his soldiers while his eyes fell on me.

I couldn't feel his pheromone since my wolf was gone. So I just looked at him, looking into those eyes. I didn't know why, but I couldn't take my eyes off them. They were mysterious yet held an ocean of emotions in them.

But the months of the beating had taught me to trust no one. So, when he walked towards me with his piercing grey eyes only on me, I crawled back into a corner. With my eyes closed, I waited for a blow on my face. Instead, I felt a warm coat draped all over my naked self.

"Free the slaves and put this slave house to fire. I don't even want to see its ruins… " I bit my lip as his deep angry voice echoed in the room.

"And who the hell are you? Do you think we are going to listen to you? " The buyers opposed him.

His jaw clenched in anger and his fangs showed up making them take a few steps back.

"How dare you disrespect the Dark Alpha King Theodore Knight? " One of his men roared, taking out a sword to threaten the men.

Their eyes widened in shock and they quickly lowered their gaze. During these months, I had heard of a crazy Alpha taking over every pack to form a kingdom and get the werewolf world under his rule.

But to see him here, freeing the slaves and watching me like I was a dessert he wanted to eat so bad, it was a bit strange.

It was as if he didn't seem to care about anyone except me. He stretched his arm for me, his eyes turning soft.

"Shall we leave now? " He asked, waiting for me to hold his hand.
