"Why should I forgive you?" I asked, my voice barely above a whisper. "You've broken my trust, Claire. You've shattered everything we had together. Why wouldn’t you do something like that”Claire fell to her knees, still begging for my forgiveness. I could feel her presence behind me, her body shaking with sobs. I wanted to comfort her, to hold her close and tell her that everything would be alright. But I couldn't bring myself to do it."I need time to think," I finally said, my voice cold and distant. "I need some space. Please, Claire. Just go."As Claire's sobs grew louder, I could feel my heartache. I wanted to comfort her, to take her in my arms and tell her that everything would be alright. But the betrayal I felt was too much to bear. I turned around to face her, my expression hard and unforgiving."Claire, I can't even look at you right now," I said, my voice cold and distant. "I trusted you with everything, and you went behind my back and betrayed me. I don't even know who yo
I felt the blood rushing to her cheeks as I remembered the kiss with Harrison. It was a mistake, a moment of weakness, and I knew that it was something I should never have allowed to happen. But now, it was too late.I was on her way back to her room when I heard footsteps approaching her. I turned around and saw alpha Nathan standing there, his eyes filled with anger and hurt. Before I could say anything, he had already grabbed her arm, pulling her towards him."Explain to me what you were doing with Harrison," he growled, his grip tightening on her arm. my heart sank as I realized that Nathan had caught them kissing."I-I was just talking to him," I stammered, trying to free herself from his grasp. "It was nothing, I swear."But Nathan wasn't convinced. His eyes bore into hers, and I could see the anger in them."Don't lie to me, Claire," he spat. "I saw you kissing him. How could you do this to me? After all we've been through?"I felt like the world had come crashing d

Reader discretion is advised.Claire's body trembled as Nathan's hand wrapped tightly around her wrist, dragging her into a dark room she had never seen before. Fear coursed through her veins as he locked the door behind them, his eyes filled with anger and betrayal."Take your clothes off," he demanded, his voice cold and calculated. Claire's heart sank as she realized what was about to happen. She tried to protest, to tell him that this was not what she wanted, but the look on his face made it clear that he didn't care.With shaking hands, she began to unbutton her blouse, tears streaming down her face as she slowly stripped off her clothes. But Nathan was not content to wait. He grabbed hold of her blouse and ripped it from her body, exposing her to the cold, dark room.Claire tried to cover herself, but Nathan wouldn't allow it. He pushed her to the ground, his hands roug
Nathan's POVNathan walked with a heavy stride as he made his way back to his room. His mind was a mess, consumed by conflicting emotions that left him feeling lost and confused. The anger and hurt that had fueled his actions earlier were still simmering beneath the surface, but they were now joined by a gnawing sense of guilt and shame.He knew that he had crossed a line, that what he had done to Claire was unforgivable. He had used her body for his own pleasure, without any regard for her well-being or her feelings. He had treated her like a mere object, a plaything to be used and discarded as he saw fit. It was a despicable act, one that went against everything he had ever believed in.But even as he acknowledged the wrongness of his actions, Nathan couldn't help but feel a twisted sense of satisfaction. A dark part of him had taken over, a primal, animalistic urge that had driven him to dominate and control Claire. It was a part of him that he had always tried to suppress, but now
Nathan leaned back in his chair, a sly grin spreading across his lips as he watched Harrison's expression change. The other man's eyes narrowed, his fists clenched at his sides as if he were struggling to keep his anger in check."Is that so?" Harrison finally spat out, his voice dripping with contempt. "You think you can just use these girls for your own pleasure and not give a damn about what happens to them?"Nathan shrugged, his grin widening. "Why not? It's not like they have any say in the matter. Besides, it's not like you have any right to judge me. I know damn well what you've been up to with some of the servant girls."Harrison's face turned bright red, his nostrils flaring with anger. "That's none of your business," he growled.Nathan chuckled. "I suppose not. But let's get one thing straight, Harrison. I am the prince of this kingdom. I can do whatever I damn well please, and nobody is going to stop me. So if I want to sleep with every girl in this palace, that's my prerog
Nathan's PovAs I walked away from the punishment room, I couldn't help but feel a sense of unease. The image of Claire's tear-streaked face kept flashing before my eyes. I knew deep down that what I did was wrong, but I couldn't bring myself to admit it. I felt like I had to punish her, to teach her a lesson, but at the same time, I couldn't shake the feeling that I was the one who needed to be taught.I tossed and turned in my bed that night, unable to get a peaceful sleep. My thoughts kept going back to Claire and the way she looked at me when I punished her. It was a mix of fear and confusion, and it tore at my heart. I knew I couldn't keep doing this to her, but I didn't know how to stop.The next morning, I made my way to the punishment room to see Claire. As soon as she saw me, she looked down at her feet, knowing what was coming next. I told her that there wasn't going to be any food for her until she accepted her wrongs, but she weakly tried to explain that it was Harrison wh
Claire POVI woke up feeling angry, frustrated, worried, and feeling horrible. The events of the previous day were still fresh in my mind. Nathan had punished me for something I didn't do. I couldn't understand why he would do that to me, especially after I had pledged my loyalty to him.I shivered as I hugged my knees to my chest, feeling completely alone and helpless. The cold, damp stone floor sent chills up my spine and I could feel my body trembling. I had been here for hours, maybe even a whole day, I wasn't sure anymore. Time seemed to stand still in this room.I couldn't believe Nathan had done this to me. He seemed like a different person. His eyes were cold and his voice was hard, he didn't even seem to care that I was suffering.I was in the punishment room, a small, windowless chamber that was no different from a cell. There was no bed, no light, and worst of all, there was no food. Nathan had said there would be no food for me until I accepted my wrong, but I knew I had d
Claire's POV:Claire heard the door creak open and her heart sank. She knew it was Nathan again. She quickly pulled her clothes to herself, trying to cover as much of her body as possible. She pushed herself to the wall at the end of the room, her eyes fixed on the door. Her mind was racing as she tried to come up with a plan, but she knew deep down that there was nothing she could do to stop him.But to her surprise, it wasn't Nathan who walked through the door. It was Harrison, the man who had brought her to this hellhole. She was shocked and confused. She had never seen him in this room before, and she couldn't understand why he was here now.Claire's voice was barely above a whisper as she pleaded with Harrison to leave. "Please, Harrison. You can't be here. Nathan will be furious if he finds out."Harrison's face twisted into a sneer. "Don't worry about Nathan. I can handle him. But right now, I'm here for you."Claire's heart raced in her chest. She had never felt more trapped t
