They felt the van finally come to a stop after a long drive; with their eager ears and pounding chests, they heard the clattering sounds of the van chain coming off, and in the next seconds, the van door opened." Out everyone!", the guard standing outside the van ordered rigorously.Elora dragged herself up wearily alongside the others, and one after the other, they stepped out of the van. Elora's half-opened eyes adjusted to the environment's light. Now fully opened, she looked around the huge environment, standing before the gate that was beside a modern castle. She looked up at the huge mansion that was so breathtaking." Is this where we're coming to?" she asked herself in surprise, looking at the house of a blending of gothic and modern architecture painted in sparkling black.After the guards made sure there was no one left in the van, they turned towards the handcuffed werewolves." Follow me", one of the guards ordered and led them through the black gate, leading them to a ne
Every slave immediately jumped towards the gate to collect their meal, a single bunned fried meat. The moment Elora collected hers, she sat down immediately on the floor and devoured the meat aggressively. Libby sat opposite her smiling, watching her struggle to chew the one in her mouth and swallow." Take it slow", she said, smiling at her, but Elora ignored her, hungrily concentrating on her meal.' she must have been starved', Libby said in her mind.Before any of them could eat half of their potion, Elora had finished eating hers." What a hungry wolf we have here", Bree said, and they all burst into laughter, except Elora, who was looking unsatisfied." Here", Libby extended some potion of hers to her.She looked at her hesitating." Don't worry, I don't eat much, so here, take it," she said to her, smiling so sweetly.Feeling so grateful, she snatched the meat from her and shoved it down her throat hungrily before wiping her mouth clean with the back of her hand. Feeling more
' how dare he talk about my feelings like that when he knows nothing about me!', she fumed in her mind.Larsen furrowed his brow for a second when he noticed that he couldn't sense her wolf.' what's wrong? Why isn't there a wolf presence in her? 'he raised a brow at her." How dare you!" she uttered, taking Larsen by surprise, " how dare you talk about my feelings like that?".He has never seen such boldness or courage ever directed at him, especially from someone inferior." I don't care about your feelings", he said and dragged her by the chest of her cloth, pulling her closer and staring at her angry face before rudely exposing the top of her left breast causing her to gasp." Anger doesn't suit you; it's not going to bring anyone back or fix your mistakes", he said and placed the hot stamp on her left chest.Elora groaned painfully, clenching her fist tight as she closed her eyes with the pain diving into all of her veins.Larsen stared at her face for longer than he should, long
Elora looked at her sleeping roommate as the guard locked the cell behind her. She walked quietly to the corner of the room, sat on the floor, and wrapped her arms around her knees, burying her hand on the knee." What that guard did is uncalled for; how could he touch the vessel of the goddess?" Naya said in her head in disgust, " he deserves to have his hand cut off for that."Even though Elora doesn't want to admit it, this would be the first time Naya is saying something sensible and something she agrees with." But I don't think you should have taken that kind of approach about it".' oh yeah, who was she kidding? 'she said in her mind, rolling her eyes in her head." Your aggressive response has done nothing but bring more humiliation to us, put us in the spotlight, and now we've drawn some unnecessary attention. I know you're not as smart as I am and that's why I need you to listen to me. Right now, the most important thing is surviving, living quietly while we try to get ourse
( Warning: 18+: this chapter contains sensitive content and some readers might find it distressing)( The night Scarlett died)Moraine slapped her lap as she laughed out so hard, along with Ava and Zaira, overshadowing the whimpering sound of Scarlett beneath her. Moraine grabbed Scarlett's hair, causing her to yelp as she sat on her back; Scarlett, who was in a wolf position carrying Moraine on her back, felt pain seething through her veins. She felt a whip on her butt and yelped in pain." She looks like a dog," Zaira said, laughing.Scarlett had to bitterly accept that they were worse than Karine and her friends. She cried bitterly, with mucous finding its way out of her nose, and the corner of her eyes caught Damien staring from a distance, but the moment their eyes met, he walked away.With a shattered heart, she bit her lips and wept." No she looks like a cat", Ava added," Let's find out what she is exactly", Moraine said having so much fun. She whipped Scarlett again, "Hey, b
(Content warning: sensitive scenes)Just then, Jordan arrived at the scene and her chest hung on a tiny hope that he'd save her. " Holy shit!", Jordan exclaimed at the sight before him, his eyes fell on the bruised Scarlett and he gasped, " Scarlett?"," Please save me," she begged with tears in her eyes and quivering lips.Jordan looked at his hungry friends and smirked, their facial expressions told him all about their intentions. His silence was deafening for Scarlett, and what he said next broke down all hopes, burning them into ashes." I'm grateful you don't let me miss this," he said with a new spark of excitement showing in his tone, " why is she still on something?" he asked, turning into a wolf and back into a human." Fastest way to strip naked", Hort said, and they all burst into laughter while Mathew aggressively tore her panties.Her screams were nothing to their brutality; her cries echoed through the woods, the sky witnessing her dignity being snatched away, and immed
The aggressive banging of iron against the cells harshly jolted the slaves out of their slumber. Their loud groans and moans filled the hallway as the guards kept banging." Can someone snap this guard's head for me?" Bree groaned angrily, wanting to catch her sleep back, but the continuous banging of the cell pierced through their earlobes heavily." Ahh", Elora groaned as she sat up, grabbing her forehead and frowning her face from the headache." You slept well?", Libby asked her standing to her feet," Not at all. Can someone pounce on this guard?" she said as she stood to her feet.Noely, who was standing at the side of the room, says nothing to anyone and waits for the cell's door to be unlocked." What are we doing this morning?","Routine, do the beddings of the pack's warriors, watch their clothes and dishes, make some products that are to be exported and many others that you'll find out soon", Libby's hoarse voice said turning to the cell gate that was being unlocked by a gu
Left alone in Larsen's office, the silence in the room scares the poor Magnus who stood behind the closed door outside. He heard no movement inside nor any sound, and he feared that the two brothers might have brutally killed each other.He'll not be surprised nor shocked to see that Larsen has murdered his brother without a sound, he has a reputation as an assassin, he's not just a Mafia alpha, but known as a silence god whose beauty would weaken your knees into submission, his rigid footsteps that echo can suddenly go lifeless like no legs were moving only to have your head out of your neck the next minute. Larsen is known for killing in the most brutal and gruesome way and yet in the cleanest, quiet, and smoothest way. This reputation of his feared Magnus to the core.Inside the room is Larsen standing by the window and staring out into nothingness while his brother, Elia, who reeks of alcohol, sits on the sofa.The two brothers had nothing in common; Elia is 5'6, shorter unlike th
" my beautiful pup, hmm muah! You're so adorable," her giggling voice said as she rubbed her face against his chubby, cute face.Larsen chuckled, his face full of smiles, " I miss you so much mum," his excited voice telling her exactly how much he had missed her. He hugged her, wrapping his little arms around her.Larsen clenched his fist hard as the next memory he had of her was her hand dripping with blood, and the look on her face. The memories he couldn't shove away, the memories that couldn't be buried but just live with it. The feelings he felt that day were still raw and fresh; the anger, the disappointment, the fear, they flashed across his eyes, brewing another wave of anger in him as he angrily gulped down the seventh bottle of alcohol and yet didn't feel any ounce of tipsiness.His heart feels so heavy that anger radiates through his veins as he keeps remembering his mother's bloody hands and Damien's hand holding Elora's. If he sees Damien right this moment, he wouldn't he
Without giving room for a response, he turned around and grabbed Elora's wrist before dragging her along with him back to their suite while Damien stood still, with his blood boiling and he gave out a loud growl and grunt of anger and frustration. His breath rose and fell erratically.Amie watched from the corner, smirking in satisfaction, knowing she'd gotten into trouble; her wince confirmed it as Larsen dragged her with him. The fear on Elora's face gave Amie so much joy that her eyes flickered with so much relief and lifted her mood that made her want to hum a song.Elora winced in pain from Larsen's tight grip, but he was so furious that it sent shivers down her spine; his fury terrified her that she couldn't tell him that his grip hurt. How dare her! How dare her!!His mind was in an unrelenting turmoil. It was so unbelievable when Amie showed him the picture she took, but when she took him to the spot and had to see for himself, a fire was ignited in him.He clenched his fist
Elora was surprised as her eyes fell on him." Alpha Damien?" the call was almost a whisper," Elora," he called with a smile nudging in. He was pissed about how today went; the smiley look on Elora's face after the meeting ended taunted him that he made plans to have dinner with the Alpha, hoping to see her, but his anger even surged higher when his request was turned down.He was standing by the glassy wall, gazing out of the window and sipping his red wine after giving feedback on their plan to Elia when he saw her taking a walk.This is heaven presenting to him a chance and he wouldn't for anything let it pass." Taking a walk?" he asked, looking as she folded her arms beneath her breast.Without responding, she turned to walk away but he immediately blocked the way with his body." Are you avoiding me?"" Isn't that obvious?."His heart skipped and ached at the same time. She glared up at him.When would she ever look at him the same way he looks at her." For how long would you
" why are you bleeding?" his serious voice icy and firm. She hid it behind her, making him step closer, and roughly pulled her closer, grabbing her hand. He took a look at her palm and shot her a frown, " You did this?" " It's none of your business," " Everything about you is my business," he flared up looking at the palm, " you did this to yourself?." She swallowed, feeling uncomfortable with how close they were, and her body felt his touch on her hand even though his eyes were blazing. " That's how much anger I was suppressing, his presence irritates me, every word he uttered makes my blood boil, I wish I could punish him, make him suffer, but when you give him the power and privilege, it angers me more," ' and it hurts.' She completed it in her mind. Larsen felt a strike of guilt hit his chest; how much must she have been suppressing to have pierced her delicate palm? His grip tightened for a second. " I wasn't giving him power," he said and dragged her to the pr
She made to punch his lips hard, but she couldn't; rather, she returned it with a brief cheeky smile and dropped the file on the table before walking to the other side, beside Jordan, hating every step she took towards him.She reached out to the water and gently poured the contents into the cup." A drop of it falls, and you'll crawl under his legs," She heard Larsen's warning that sent waves of anger through her.It's like he saw through her; that devil; she wanted to spill the water on Jordan, but after the threat, she couldn't. It was a message, an unspoken twist of dominance he had over her; even though she hated him and would love to defile him in every way she could, she couldn't risk having to crawl under Jordan's legs.Over her dead body. That disgusting traitor, that murderer." She's so clumsy, I'm sure she'd spill it and then crawl between my legs," Jordan taunted.Elora gritted her teeth as she slowly handed over the water to him, but the cunny Jordan made her spill it by
She felt her heart skip a little and tightened her fist against the black file she was still holding, brushing the memories to the back of her mind as she hastened her steps to meet up with Larsen's pace.The day could only get busier for Elora as she was given a quick tour through the building, from the massive warehouses, and underground storage vaults where she gets to see some rare earth minerals and exotic materials, then tour to other departments like the logistics and contribution firm, a high-security distribution center where the minerals, obsidian, silver and artifacts are processed." Sir," Elora saw Austin said to Larsen, " it's time for the meeting."' what meeting again? Am I not supposed to at least know my purpose of being here, or is it to just be carrying this annoying black file around with you like a slave?' she yelled in her mind that soon cooled down, ' oh yeah, I'm a slave.'Her face dropped, and without saying anything, she followed both Larsen and Austin to th
" like I said, we are not your citizens, we answer to our own law, not yours," Larsen glared at the senator, " we have our own security watching our kinds, no wolf would be a threat to you if you ain't a threat," " We're only trying to co-exist here, which is your only option."Larsen scoffed, "The werewolves here ain't even up to two hundred and they are only here for business."Half of the two hundred werewolves work in Larsen's hotel in the human world, while others maintain the importing, exporting, and distribution of minerals." Still,"" No still, we'll take care of our own kind, it's you who should be watchful of your people, we'll punish any wolf who goes against the law ourselves, just keep to your part of the deal and we'd be fine,"" We're upholding our end of the deal.."" Then there's nothing more to discuss; let's maintain our barter arrangement."The governor cleared his throat awkwardly, not liking how the conversation was not in any way going how they'd want, but th
Elora sat with other guards in a big van, dressed in a black pencil skirt and a white satin blouse with a knot. Her hair was packed in a bun, and the footwear she was on was a flat shoe. She glanced down at herself again.' why did he dress me up like I'm going for some official meeting,' she asked in her mind frowning. She looked like she was going to the office if not that she was thrown with the guards in a black van.He wouldn't even let her ride with him to wherever they were going; the distance between them made him seem invisible to her, and for some unknown reason, it made her mad.' there's no way I'd ever understand him or know him,' she said in her mind. He is like a brick wall, one she can't break or see through.Soon, the van came to a brupt stop, and everyone alighted. Elora gasped at the building before her; it was like nothing of the building was made of bricks and clay; everything was of aluminum." Wow, hailing to constructors," she uttered, staring at the building,
Elora moaned in her sleep and stirred to the other side which she regretted immediately as the ray of light shone into her eyes. She groaned and quickly tossed back.With her eyes closed but her consciousness awake, she let her body feel the softness of the queen-sized bed, enjoying the coziness. Everything feels normal, the scent lingering in the air, and the atmosphere around her feels like nothing tragic ever happened in her life, and it makes her wish everything that has happened so far were just a nightmare. But even if they happened to just be a nightmare, the way her hatred boils for Jordan in her heart, she doesn't think she'd ever love him again. And her mother. She would still be alive, and she wouldn't have a stained memory of her family anymore.The thought made her pleased facial expression turned sour and with her heart aching so much, she slowly pulled herself up from the bed. She sat up looking around." It's not a nightmare," she mumbled and an exhale escaped from he
