I adjust the curtains held in my hands on my shoulder, to look back at Sally.
"Yes ma'am. Coming!"
Moving towards her, I see her offering me a bunch of flowers. I hold them with great difficulty.
Looking up at her, waiting for her next order.
"Seperate them into bunches of 3 and fix them at equal distance...on the stand up there."
I nod, looking up at the stand. It was an arch entrance under which the couple will enter.
It has to be decorated with different colours of flowers and leaves.Sighing,I just nod.
There was so much work to do with the ball being tomorrow. No one cared if my wound was still healing, I was alloted duties and trust me...they were a long list of them.
"What are you thinking girl! Hurry up! We don't have time!"
"The Alpha will be here any second to inspect our work!"
I gulp nodding.
The Alpha. I haven't seen him since last 1 and a half day. I wante
It was dawn time almost and I was beyond tired.I wasn't allowed to even clean the sweat on my forehead as everyone kept screaming orders.They was intentionally giving me the work of their share.As a part of this stupid punishment.And I couldn't say no, in the fear of another punishment.My legs were literally wobbling and my stomach protesting.The acid was building up and I can feel a sharp pain in the corner of my stomach. Ignoring it, I sigh.Picking up the rose petals basket.To only hear snickering behind me."Aww is the slu* preparing the room for the king and Queen's consummation? So sad. ""Being used and throw out like garbage."I look back to see Bailey, and take a deep breath. Ignore her Thora. She is plain stupid and is trying to get on your nerves."Look at her face girls. I really pity her mate. To be mated to a whor* like her...a used and ugly girl ."I clench my fists, not
"Ummmhhh"Her lips get sealed by his dominant ones. Pinning her down with one hand holding her wrists above her head, he moves his other hand under her shirt.Making sparks to trail and directly hit her core.An uncontrollable moan leaving her lips."You love it. Don't you. Little mate"He says,in between the kiss. Moving his lips in the crook of her neck, kissing the sweet sensitive spot."You want me to mark you.""Ummm y...e...s"She nearly pleads. His touch igniting the heat in her. Her body more of a puppet of his.Biting on the mark, he teases her. Making her back to arch and hands to thrash. But he pins her down, his grip on her tight.Not letting her move an inch and ruin his fun.He continues to kiss her lower, lining kisses down her shoulder."Even after knowing I will be mated to another women tomorrow?"His question makes her go still.Rejection after mating is the wor
She walks down the halls, holding the walls. Unable to walk properly.Her body frail and tired. Hunger aggravating her condition further.She sees the celebrations going on in full swing downstairs, with staff running around decorating and preparing.Today was the day.Her mate was going to select someone else, rejecting her.When just last night he has mated her.Opening her hair, tied in a bun above her head. She uses it to cover her neck and shoulders, hiding the evidence of her being claimed by the King.A shaky breath leaving her lips as she feels her vision going hazy. She was too weak.But if someone is to notice her and see her like this. They will point more fingers at her.No ..she can't let that happen.Gulping, she looks down at her attire. Before leaving his room, she managed to get his white shirt. It al
Thora povI wake up to see myself in a guest room. My body feeling weak ,as I immediately shoot up.Feeling dizzy all of a sudden.Where...who brought me here?I feel something on my forehead and I lift my hand to see a wet cloth placed on my head. Removing it, I take a deep breath.To only still.It was the ceremony today...no..no...I couldn't have missed it.Volkan ...no... please you can't select someone else.Pushing aside the comforter,I get up. Again feeling dizzy. Not caring about anything, I stumble forward.Rushing towards the door.My footsteps staggering, as I run down the halls. The clapping sounds reverberating.I see the large croud gathered downstairs and my heart drops in the pit of my stomach.Volkan... please!I beg in my mind, rushing down the stairs. Tripping over my foot to only hold the railing, almost balancing myself. 
A warmness hits my core, strong enough to make me close my legs. The emotions I felt last night resurfacing.But tonight, he will not come to quench them and take me to ecstasy. Tonight he will fill her and claim her instead.Another wave hits going up my backbone, and I almost slide down. Wringling my hands in the chains.Shi*It was intensifying. A sharp pain roots in my abdomen and my eyes almost roll back, tears streaming down.It doesn't stop, one after the other. The sharp pains keep hitting my stomach, making my legs to tremble and mind to numb.The moon looking hazy as my tears block my vision.The pain hits in shocks, to only intensify with every blow. I barely get a second to breathe when another waves hits.It's fine Thora...we can survive this.We have survived worseIf only I knew this was just the starting, th
It was almost afternoon when she gained consciousness. Removing her bounds and going towards her room.As soon as the cold water hits her wounds on her wrists, she flinches. Biting her lip.Staring in the mirror she stares at the marks on her body with dead eyes.Her abdomen was covered in bruises and so were her inner thighs, her neck having the biggest one.The place where his mark was, now was discolored in hues of red and blue.Lowering her gaze, she lifts up her head. The cold shower water, soothing her pain.Getting dressed in a full sleeve shirt and joggers, she walks down the halls.Proceeding towards the kitchen.To only see everyone going still on looking at her .She lowers her eyes immediately, walking towards her counter."Damn! See the bruises on her neck!""I bet she had a rough night""What a slu*""Head mistress is not going to leave her."She was halfway in cutti
Volkan's povI stare at the closed door in shock. How dare she talk like that with me?Darn it!Is this girl insane. Why isn't she accepting the rejection. She can relieve herself of all the pain she is going through right now.The image of her bruises flashes in front of my eyes and I punch the wall.They looked so bad....how much pain did she suffered while I was consummating with Charlotte.Why didn't she take the medicines.Is this how much she hates me.Oh course stupid! Why won't she hate you. You are the reason of her sufferings.How desperately I wanted her to accept this rejection... atleast I will feel less guilty then. But she is adamant beyond her wellness."Your Majesty!"My thoughts are interrupted by Jason entering. And I turn around to look at him."What's it?"He looked worried and I knew this was urgent."The central
Volkan's pov"They are cowards. Running away like this on hearing that the Royal army was approaching"Jason says,while we were driving back from the central province.I merely nod, sighing."They will strike back again and the next time Jason."" I don't want any lapses."He nods." Understood Alpha. Rest assured."I lean my head back on the seat. Staring outside at the raging storm.Something didn't feel right, I don't know what it was.But I can feel it."It's.... it's weird. The snow storm in this weather.... it's quite unusual."Jason says looking out."The fall doesn't arrive till 1 month atleast."I couldn't help agree with his statement. The feeling of uneasiness inside me worsening."Unusual indeed."Was all I say as we drive through the raging storm,back towards the pack house. &
