Berrilyl's POV

After my wounds fully healed, I resumed my duties, desperately hoping for a reprieve. As the sun dipped below the horizon, we were served a meagre ration of stale food and water.

The food we were given was so little compared to the backbreaking labour we endured, but at least there was enough water to quench our thirst. I opted to forgo the stale food, giving my portion to Liah instead since I didn't like it one bit and the fact that I couldn't eat even if I wanted to since my output was very little.

My stomach growled in protest as the sight of the unappetizing food passing me by was almost too much to bear.

The thought of succumbing to hunger and losing my dignity was revolting. Liah's words echoed in my mind: soon, I'd be so ravenous that I'd disregard the taste and quality of food, just to fill my stomach. The prospect terrified me, and I knew I had to escape this nightmare before it was too late. The thought of becoming a mindless, fearful minion, blindly following

    Berrilyl's POVThe thought of marrying the Alpha was unbearable. It would be a never-ending nightmare, as I didn't harbour even a shred of love for him. How could he possibly expect me to accept this union, especially after he brutally took the life of the person I loved, right before my eyes? The pain and anger still lingered, making the prospect of marrying him utterly repulsive.The idea of having any involvement with Cage was abhorrent to me. We shared a deep-seated hatred for each other, so it beggared belief that he would suddenly want to marry me, a lowly slave, and make me his wife. I remembered Liah's words clearly, she said he didn't like women. This revelation only strengthened my conviction that Cage's motivations for marrying me were far from pure."Excuse me, please I need to see the Alpha," I requested, turning to the assistant. His expression remained impassive as he replied,"Sorry, I'm afraid that's not possible," he said, and I went back.Undeterred, I returned to

    Berrilyl's POVHis appearance was unexpected and I was embarrassed being caught doing something like that. I secretly put my hand on my lips to be sure I didn't drool for him. He wasn't worth it. A dignified princess like me could possibly not drool for someone like him.I felt like shutting out my feelings at that moment. I started asking myself why I came to his chambers in the first place before I remembered that it was about the forced wedding between the both of us."You've been shouting that you want to see me and I'm here right now so talk," he said arrogantly. I slowly turned to face him and I was so annoyed with myself because part of me wished that he was shirtless like the other day but he was fully clothed and I was secretly disappointed but I knew it was better that way I would never be able to focus on the reason I came with those outstanding abs of his in display."Why do you want to marry me? You have no interest in women so why do you want to marry me? It's not that y

    Cage's POV She was infuriating, and yet, she remained unchanged. Her sharp tongue, which had once cut me so deeply, still wagged with reckless abandon. This time, however, it needed to be silenced. After all she'd done to me, she had the audacity to forget, to move on, and live a life filled with laughter and joy. Meanwhile, I remained shackled to the pain and bitterness she'd left in the shadows of our past.The memories of the time we spent together still haunts me, a reminder of the torment I went through. The dangers that lurked because of one simple mistake that I regret and can never forget till this day.Shouts and screams still filled my head and she had to pay for what she had done and what she'd caused. Every atom of the incident had be be relieved by her. It was an unforgettable experience yet she chose to forget. How much more insolent and despicable could she be. I looked at her as she fell down in pain after I slapped her but still it was nothing at all compared to t

    Berrilyl's POVI was taken to a bath and given nice clothes to wear again like they did before. I just still couldn't believe the fact that my brother just believed me like that. He knew how much I loved Owens and how much Owens loved me too. At least he should have suspected that something was wrong. Owens wasn't the kind of person that cheats on someone, he loved me much and was ready to do anything to make me happy.But thanks to my stupidity, I formed a quite captivating story making Owens a very bad man, a man who was a wolf in sheep's clothing which was quite convincing but no matter what Owens was his friend, and they sometimes dined together even though they were polar opposites in behavior. They had a bond, they were so close but I guessed it didn't matter anymore since Owens was dead.The main matter at hand was how to make sure my brother didn't come to the forced wedding. If he comes then our pack would be doomed because of me. It was the last thing I wanted to happen. In

    Berrilyl's POVHe got himself a bottle of wine and watched as I was beaten. I was the one who didn't see what was coming. It was so unbelievable that I told him that there was no way that was possible. I couldn't have told him. I didn't know what type of witchcraft he was using but he was always so accurate and it made me wonder if we truly had a past.When he was replaying the recorded audio I thought it was to get me angry. I didn't know that it was a trap, a punishment for trying to ruin his plans. I thought I would be able to get my brother to save me with that.I knew there was no way I would be able to say the exact words I said in the same way but I tried my best and was beaten mercilessly. I kept failing and kept receiving lashes while he enjoyed looking at me in pain. He laughed anytime I screamed. If he didn't say they should stop the lashes were sure to go on forever. It was very painful but slowly the intensity with which I was whipped reduced. I looked at Jake and guesse

    Berrilyl's POVI stepped into the room with trepidation, my heart racing as I scanned the dimly lit space. It was just like before.Memories of that day replayed in my mind like a melody. How I was forced to dance, and so on. My gaze fell upon the table, where rows of liquor bottles stood like sentinels. I knew he was next to the table, but I deliberately avoided looking at him. The mere sight of his shirtless torso made my brain malfunction as if an inexplicable force drew me to him.I wasn't the type of girl who would become head over heels for someone based solely on their physical appearance. Behaviour mattered to me, which is why I had never been swayed by Cain, despite his chiselled physique. But Cage was different. I was helpless against the pull I felt towards him.If it were up to me, I would never have set foot in this place again. All it had ever brought me was humiliation and pain. The threats to my husband's safety, the agony of being torn from my pack and the fact that h

    Berrilyl's POV"Back to something important. What kind of work should I assign to you that would be suitable for you to handle? Cain reported that you don't finish your work portion but you yell and insult him""He deserves it," I said before remembering what would happen to Owens's body but Cain deserved it after trying to force himself on me still I knew I overdid some things."Still sharp-tongued? Hmm. So what did he do to you to deserve that?" he asked and I didn't reply. I hardly knew how to control my mouth once I opened it. "Well, since your mouth can still move fast regardless of the work you do in the mine. It seems like I would have to find you another one that would make you too busy to talk and insult. You'd be serious with it. So Berrilyl get ready" he said smiling and I didn't want to imagine what kind of terrible work he was going to give me. What I would rather spend time imagining was how to get out of his pack."I'm read...d" I said and he laughed maniacally. "Cat's

    Berrilyl's POVI went out of his chamber and outside I saw Jake positioned in his usual spot. It was my time to answer him about all the nonsense he said about my mouth being sealed with a sigil. Then something came to my mind, if he was always here, how on earth did he have time to watch movies? I was confused but I went to him."Jake, you were luck–" "Oh!" He shouted make me, "I get it. He must be calling me right. Okay. I'll be there immediately. Bye," he said and he left after cutting me short knowing fully well I wanted to lash out at him. "But nice sigil," he said before he ran inside. I felt like exploding but as usual, I could do nothing they rendered me helpless but I wasn't going to relent that easily. His behaviour with Cage was quite strange. Cage was usually cold with everyone around him even Jake but it felt like they were in another universe. They were free with each other or rather Jake was free with the Alpha than anybody else I had seen him with. Their friendlines

    Cage's POV If someone had helped William escape from the hidden dungeon and find a way out of here, it either meant that he had brought someone with him who we didn't capture and was sneaking around then saw the perfect opportunity to let him go or we had a spy among us.The thought of having a spy in our midst left me dumbfounded. The spy must have known our pack so we'll that the hidden dungeon wasn't only unhidden but could be operated by whoever the spy was.Was I this careless to have never figured it out? When the spies were killed all of a sudden, I should have known there was still more to it, but I blamed Berrilyl since she always had more than one way of communicating with her brother, and I was caught up in so many problems that I forgot to investigate such a dangerous attempt further.Even if he had a someone with him who we didn't capture, there was no way the person would have got through the guards, the security system was tight which meant the only way he could escape

    Cage's POVI wasn't that intoxicated. I was just tipsy. I knew where I was and what I was doing, still. But even with the alcohol in my system, I could feel my mind slipping, becoming less clear, less sharp. The edges of my world blurred, and everything felt a little lighter and easier to deal with.With that said, I didn't attack Berrilyl. She had already left, and something made me know it was not yet time to follow her. She was angry and scared. I could see that from her eyes as she turned her back on me. But she needed space, and I knew that if I followed her, things would just get worse. It was not the first time Berrilyl had left me, and I knew it would not be the last. So I simply released her.I did what I always did whenever I had to focus on other things instead. I took a hold of the mask again. It was more about obscuring my mind, and my emotions rather than hiding my face. My feelings. My thoughts. The mask gave me a feeling of control and detachment. Wearing it, I felt so

    Berrilyl's POVIt was a day to my engagement already, and I had decided to carry out my plan. I had prepared for days now on how to escape, but the only way out that I could think of was to get rid of Cage. It was the last thing I could think of to save myself from getting married to him, and tonight I was going to carry out my plan.The night was calm as I walked down the halls of the mansion. There was just the soft thud of my steps against the quiet. My heart was racing, and I felt this crazy mix of fear and resolve. Was I going to do it? I stood before Cage's door.My mind was telling me that this was what I needed to do, but my body was tense and unsure. I'd never been more nervous in my life. I'd practiced this moment so many times in my mind, but now that it was here, it wasn't quite the same. Still, I could not go back. I had to move forward.I pushed the door inward slowly, as quietly as possible. The room was black except for the feeble flickering of candle flames at the ed

    Authors POVThe Pack hall was decorated with golden chandeliers, it was warm and welcoming, it was a room full of laughter and conversation, merriment filling the air as people sipped wine. The aroma of freshly baked bread, fruits, and roasted meats wafted through the air, it was a feast to commemorate the joyful news, his second wife was pregnant.William was sitting at the head of the table, a grin was spread across his face as he watched the guests he invited. His second wife, sat at his side, she was beaming with pride as people from all over came to her. Her hands were draped over her rounded stomach, it was a sight of bliss as she enjoyed the constant congratulations from the elders, the high-ranking wolves of the pack and the guests invited.You should be so proud, Alpha William," an Elder, an old wolf with a streak of gray in his hair, said as he bowed to his alpha. "A child to carry on your line. Today is a day of blessing."He saidWilliam nodded. "It is. I longed for a long

    Berrilyl's POVThe wind whipped against my fur as I ran through the thick woods, my paws soft whispers on the wet earth. Cain's angry bellowing echoed behind me, each sentence distorted with rage and anger."Berrilyl! You bloody traitor! You will not get away from this!"I did not slow. I did not look back. I just ran.I could still hear him running through the underbrush, but I knew he can never catch me. Not now. My wolf was faster, much faster than his. That was the one advantage I had on him. And right now, I needed every advantage I could get.A snarling growl burst through the shadows as Cain's anger reached its boiling point. "You'll regret this! I swear it!"Regret?I'd forgotten about regret years ago.I approached the estate perimeter stealthily upon my arrival, covering myself so as not to be seen before I snuck past the guards. My heart pounding, I sprinted through the halls as a wolf, sticking close to darkness. Every sensory nerve in my body was cranked up to full.I man

    Chapter 158Berrilyl's POVFinding myself in a spacious room was getting kinda freaky. I turned to leave but heard the door slamming shit behind me instead. The maid had already run away. I tried to open it but it was locked. I was trapped.I couldn't make sense of elegant was going on. Who asked her to do this to me? I didn't have beef with anybody except for the envy or disgust of the maids but none of them dared to do this."Damn it" I muttered to myself. I had seen this coming but still allowed myself to fall into the trap. Was it the doing of Grace? She definitely hated me; the way she glared at me during the time of Cage's Rut showed she didn't want me at all in her life, which meant this was the perfect time for me to die. Days before the engagement, if the engagement didn't happen her chances with him would be greater. I could only hope it wasn't true. My life had never been worse and I was getting scared. Suddenly, I heard, "You are mine, Berrilyl" it was Cain's menacing vo

    Berrilyl's POVI woke up to the sound of a gentle tapping and an unfamiliar voice that called my name.A maid and an unfamiliar woman stood beside my bed, their faces courteous. I rubbed my face trying to get the sleep away from my eyes and shake off the haze of slumber."Good morning, miss," the maid said, curtsying low. "This is one of the best seamstresses, and she's here to measure you" The maid introduced me to the other woman."Okay. Good morning" I said, greeting the both of them. There were clothes of my size in the palace, so I didn't know why, out of nowhere, my measurements were suddenly needed. I was about to ask them why my measurements were needed when the seamstress said,"Happy engagement ceremony ma'am. You have a great figure and would look very stunning on your special day"My mind went blank as I stared at the seamstress, her words slowly sinking into my head.Engagement ceremony? I facepalmed myself, feeling like I'd been hit by a fast-moving truck.I smiled symp

    Cage's POVThe letter came out of the blue, and its contents were completely unexpected. I'd expected it to be a minor update. But the second I opened the letter, things changed.It turned out that the letter had been written by William's first wife, Lucia, and its purpose was clear: it was meant to be sent back to her Pack so they could take revenge on William on her behalf. The realization hit me hard. Lucia, once seen as a quiet, obedient wife, was now taking a stand.The assassin who had brought me the letter seemed to grasp the gravity of the situation. He began to tell me about how Lucia had been treated for some days now, how William had become increasingly cold and callous. At first, their marriage had been a respectful one, but slowly, William had begun to neglect her, paying no heed to her feelings and requirements. He had been aloof and disinterested, busy with other things, other wives, and keeping her in the background.Lucia was not a woman to be discarded. She had been

    Chapter 155Cage's POVIt was night already and I couldn't sleep, I kept thinking of how I would capture William. My mind was sharp, scheming my next move. I had to get it right because I couldn't afford to mess up. William was a dangerous man, and I had to outsmart him.Suddenly, I felt a change in the air, something out of the ordinary. The room became chilly, and I could hear a soft sound—like clothing moving across the floor. I leaped up immediately, my senses heightened. Out of the corner of my eye, I saw a figure coalesce.A man in a black robe appeared in the room. The robe was dark enough that it blended with the shadows, and the man was almost invisible to the light. It appeared soundlessly as if it was an extension of the night.I couldn't make out the face of the figure, but I could see his eyes. They were sharp, focused, and glimmering faintly in the faint light. Those eyes were chilly, calculating as if they were watching every move I made.Then, without uttering a word,
