Daisy's POVThe room was silent except for the faint sound of my breathing. I sat on the edge of the bed, staring at my hands as last night’s humiliation replayed in my mind.Aiden’s words had been sharp, deliberate, and they’d cut through me like a blade. You’re a slave. I send for you—not the other way around.He was right. No matter how much I wanted to deny it, he was absolutely right. I was just a slave, and I’d overstepped. Offering myself to him had been foolish, desperate. Worse, I had done it to manipulate him into giving me what I wanted.But the most twisted part? I hadn’t hated the idea.Aiden had been my first—something I’d never intended but had long since accepted. The way he touched me, the way his presence consumed me, it was nothing like I had imagined intimacy would be. Back in the BloodMoon pack, Lena and I used to sneak around to watch men mate with their wolf partners, giggling and making crude jokes about the awkwardness of it all.But Aiden? There was nothing aw
I stepped in, keeping my head high even as my stomach churned. Aiden stood near his desk, his broad shoulders tense, his piercing eyes locking onto mine the moment I walked in.For a moment, he said nothing, his gaze sweeping over me before landing on my bandaged hands. His jaw tightened, and I could see the fury building in his expression.“What happened to your hands?” he demanded, his voice like a growl.I hesitated, trying to find the words, but nothing came.“Leon!” he barked, his voice echoing through the room.The door opened almost immediately, and Leon stepped in, his expression neutral but his posture defensive.“Didn’t I tell you to explain the rules to her?” Aiden asked, his tone sharp.“I did,” Leon replied, his voice calm. “But I also warned you she’s stubborn. She went against me and decided to work anyway.”Aiden’s glare darkened as he dismissed Leon with a curt wave of his hand. The door closed behind him, leaving me alone with the Alpha.He turned his attention back t
I felt my face redden as my face fell. He lifted my chin up with a hand, the other trailing down my stomach before reaching between my thighs. "Don't worry. It's not just that. It appears, little kitty," Why does he keep calling me that? "You're so wet for me. Did you enjoy being punished that bad? I wasn't aware you were this naughty. Is this what your siblings taught you?"Now, damn him for mentioning my family members. The same one he killed. But he rose above me, taking strands of hair off my sweating face. "Did they teach you how to be a dirty slut?" He said, voice lowering. My face reddened in both anger and something pleasurable, to my surprise. "Is that why you came to my room that night?""I was trying to help you see things you couldn't see about your pack since you were blind!" I retorted, not caring what he would do to me. Apparently, it worked. Or it didn't. Because he grabbed my hair, yanking it backwards before speaking. "You still haven't learned your lesson. We
I growled and came into her warm mouth. It wasn't short or brief. It took a damn long time when I thought my muscles would cramp up before it finally stopped. "Fuck!" I said, breathing heavily, before fluttering my eyes open to see Daisy still kneeling before me. Some of my seed juice dripped down her lips as she knelt there looking like she didn't just snatch my soul out my body. She looked so innocent. So delicate. I thought as I watched her. But I snapped myself out of my thoughts. It would be dangerous getting carried away like this.But I wasn't done with her yet. Not when she had just made me act like I'd never done with any of the women before. This was a punishment for her not for me. I pulled her and threw her on the bed. I looked at her frail body try to escape, her hands fighting the belt. But there was no escape. "I wish you'd just stop fighting this." I drawled, running a finger under my nose. I leaned over her but something unbelievable happened. Something I belie
The shadows shifted, and then he stepped into the faint light. Wikh. His sharp features softened as he saw me, and my knees almost buckled at the wave of emotions his presence stirred.He didn’t speak right away, just closed the distance between us and, to my surprise, pulled me into his arms. "Are you okay?"For a moment, I stiffened, unsure of how to respond. But then the thought of everything that had gone wrong crashed down, and I buried my face in his chest, my tears spilling freely.“It’s okay,” Wikh murmured, his hand running down my back in slow, steady motions.“No, it’s not,” I whispered, my voice breaking.We stood there for what felt like an eternity before he finally pulled back, his hands resting lightly on my shoulders.“He’s still refusing to negotiate, isn’t he?” Wikh asked, his voice quiet.I wiped at my eyes with the sleeve of my jacket. “I didn't ask. Let's just say I don’t care anymore,” I said, though the words felt strange and untrue.Wikh studied me for a momen
“Daisy,” she said softly, stepping even closer, “this isn’t a game where you can opt out if you don't like it. Stay away from Wikh. If not for yourself, then because of my brother.”I swallowed hard, her words settling heavily in my chest as she turned on her heel and left the room, the door clicking shut behind her.For a moment, I just stood there, frozen, my thoughts spiraling. She was right about one thing—this wasn’t a game. And her brother being Leon makes this even clearer.I didn’t want to admit it, but something within me wanted to defy Aiden again, to push his limits just to see what he’d do. The way he punished me, the intensity of it—it stirred something dark, something I couldn’t quite explain.But Neena’s words rang in my ears, her warning echoing louder than my defiance.I wouldn’t be so lucky next time.The door opened again, and this time, several women entered, carrying trays of food and fresh linens. They worked quickly and efficiently, leaving no room for conversati
Aiden’s POV::The air was crisp and sharp against my fur as I moved through the woods, my wolf reveling in the liberating freedom of the breeze. This was where I belonged—in the wild, unchained and unchallenged.Wikh fell into step beside me, his form just as imposing, his eyes scanning the forest ahead. Neither of us spoke; words weren’t necessary when we were like this. We moved as one, our senses heightened, our instincts in sync as we covered the terrain.We sniffed the air, the earth, every scent in the breeze as we patrolled the perimeter. The forest was alive with sounds—rustling leaves, the occasional scurry of prey, the distant hum of the highway—but nothing seemed out of the ordinary.We neared the edge of the woods, the cliff overlooking the city visible through the thinning trees. I slowed, my claws digging into the earth as I peered down. My sharp vision scanned the landscape, searching for anything unusual, but the scene was annoyingly mundane.I let out a huff, my wolf b
The Rogue was no longer in his wolf form, now just a scrawny man tied to a chair, his head slumped forward. His shirt was torn, exposing a jagged wound on his stomach that didn’t look fresh.“Who are you?” I demanded, stepping closer.He didn’t answer, his lips trembling as he looked down at the floor.I grabbed a fistful of his hair, yanking his head up to meet my gaze. “I asked you a question.”“I—I’m nobody,” he stammered, his voice hoarse.I laughed bitterly. "You're a Rogue, aren't you? Part of the pack that's been stirring up trouble in my territory recently."His mouth opened but no words came out. My patience was already thin. My fist connected with his jaw snapping his head to the side. Blood trickled from the corner of his mouth as he groaned in pain.“What is your Alpha planning?” I growled, my claws emerging as I slashed across his chest, leaving deep cuts. "I don't know." He cried, his voice crackling. "Lies," I spat, hitting him again. "Your people have been attacking m
“Your claws, right?” Daisy asked her. “In case you haven't noticed, the strange energy in the air died along with Asper. Whatever magic he was using is now gone, and so are your false powers. You're just plain old Neena now.”Neena looked up in horror. “No, no, this can't be happening. Please, don't kill me. I could still be of use to you. Keep me as a slave or anything.” She collided with Appa as she backed away and he shoved her angrily. Smiling, Aiden turned to look at Daisy. “Do you want to do the honors?”“With pleasure,” she replied, licking her lips. “No, please,” Neena pleaded and so did Abut Daisy ignored their cries as she extended her claws. Neena turned to run but Daisy suddenly appeared at her side. “When you see Leon on the other side, be sure to tell him I sent you, and that I did it happily,” Daisy said and Neena looked at her with dismay.With one vicious slash, Daisy sunk her claws into her. But she didn't stop there. She continued slicing her, just like Neena had
I heard a satisfying cry from him but he still didn't give up. The earth rumbled as we struggled with each other, hoping to get the upper hand. We inflicted several injuries on ourselves, yet, none of us gave in to the other. The longer we fought, the more energized I felt. I guessed it was the same with him because his attacks became more and more intense. He tried to throw me to the ground, but I held fast and when I saw that he was concentrating all his energy on that one move, I reached out with my second paw and swept him off his feet. He didn't move after that and I turned back in Aiden's direction. He was sitting with his back against the wall of a nearby house and Neena was standing close to him. I growled and started running in their direction but I had only gone a few meters when I heard teeth gnashing behind me.“Daisy! Behind you!” Aiden yelled, pointing in my direction. I turned as fast as I could but it wasn't fast enough to defend myself from Asper's attack. His pa
I'd never felt so much hatred for anyone than I did myself in that moment. Since I had nowhere else to go, Aiden's pack was the only place I could return to, even though it was the last place I wanted to go. That was the only place that still felt like home and it was Aiden that made it feel that way.Now, with his absence, I wasn't sure it was going to feel like that again. Dejected, I walked away from the burnt house and headed back. As I walked through the woods, I stayed on alert, ready to defend myself against anyone that might attack.I knew Neena and Asper would still be looking for me, and if they happened to come across me as I was heading back, then I would have to be the one to defend myself. I held my claws ready as I went, jumping at every slight movement or sound. But I had no trouble on my way back. At some point, I realized I was heading in the direction of the cottage and changed directions immediately. Nothing could ever make me go back to that dreary place. I was r
The pressure of his leg on my neck restricted my airflow and I found it hard to breathe. I struggled against him but he was too strong and when I realized that struggling was only making things worse for me, I gave in, ready to accept whatever was going to happen. Jeff was still unmoving and he had also returned back to human form. Neena was the only one still in her wolf form and she maintained her distance from Asper. She was still scared of him even now that she had the advantage. Asper pressed my neck harder, making me cough as I inhaled dirt in an attempt to breathe. Forcing my hand to move, I brought it up to pat his leg repeatedly but he kicked it away with force. I winced from the pain that shot up my arm and I could hear my own heartbeat thudding against the ground as I anticipated what was going to happen next. That was probably the end of the road for me. Neena was the only person that could possibly help me in that situation and I couldn't trust her to do that, not if A
It must be the same witchcraft he'd been using back at the cottage and I wondered where he got it from since everything related to witchcraft had either been burned or destroyed many years ago. The people gasped, all of them murmuring in fear as they backed away from the advancing wolf. Its howling became louder, and at some point, all of us had to cover our ears. Then it stopped suddenly. Both the walking and its howling. Its eyes were glowing red, just like the color of the sky and I suddenly remembered that it was the same color Daisy's eyes had been after Asper had injected her the second time. Turning its head from side to side, its eyes took in everyone present and in a split second, it launched its huge paws forward, striking three people dead in that one move. Everyone scattered immediately after that, running in whatever direction that came to their mind. “Attack!” Neena yelled and the six men that had come with her rushed forward immediately, like puppets. One by one, th
“There's no moon in the sky, you fool, and it's not even night yet,” Jack chided. Thankful that their attention had been directed away from her, Neena took the opportunity to put more distance between herself and them. She'd only gone a few meters when one of them suddenly turned in her direction.“Hey!” He shouted and the others returned their attention to her immediately.Jack pointed at the sky as he approached her. “Are you the one doing this? Is this some trick to help you escape from us?”“No. I don't know anything about it,” she replied.“We'll see about that,” Jack said and started running towards her. Her heart raced and she took to her heels, fear gripping her. “You're only delaying the inevitable,” Jack shouted behind her and she ran even faster. She knew the others had joined him too. She could hear their feet slamming against the ground as they chased her. After a few seconds she realized she was heading in the wrong direction. The path she was taking would lead her bac
“You all should stand aside,” I said calmly, hoping that my words will resonate with them. “If you fight me, I will not hold back.”“Then don't hold back!” someone yelled. “We're tired of your rule!”“Yes! Like Appa said, it has brought nothing but death and destruction!” Their words broke my heart, but I kept an emotionless mask on. “Is this really what you wish? For me to kill you all?”“Ha!” Appa cried from the back. “You're such an arrogant man, Aiden! You think you can kill them all? Your own people, people you trained?” Jeff glanced at me, and I saw the worry in his eyes.“No.” I cracked my neck. “My own people wouldn’t do this to me. I'm killing the traitors.”With that statement, silence fell upon the crowd for a moment, as though the people were thinking about what they'd gotten themselves into.Then someone charged at us. I took on a fighting stance, my eyes focused on my target, only for the sky to suddenly go from bright blue to pitch black, and finally, it turned to a
Dear goddess, she'd used the same witchcraft that Asper had.“This is bad,” Jeff muttered.“As bad as hell,” I agreed. Then I gave him a nod, and we both decided to turn and walk away. If she could create a barrier where I couldn't enter, then she definitely could make one where I couldn't walk away.“Too late,” I heard her giggle as though she'd read my mind. The next minute Jeff and I were slamming into another invisible wall. I jumped and whirled around to meet her, frowning.“Let us out.”Instead of laughing, she glowered at me. “So what? So you can go and look for Asper? Or so you can fuck Daisy?” I grinned at her questions. “Both, actually. And you have to be kidding yourself if you think you can just randomly call my woman's name like that.” Beside me, Jeff let out a groan and ran a hand down his face.My answer seemed to infuriate her, because she snarled and took a step towards us. “No one leaves if I don't let them. Those are the rules of the game.”She had the audacity to
“Don't be stupid.” He had a vexed expression. “He can handle himself. He didn't become a feared Alpha for nothing. You, on the other hand, have more likelihood of failure than of success.”I paused and turned. “What?”“You'd only slow him down.” His expression was grim. “Whatever he's doing, let him do it by himself, Daisy. Besides, he has Jeff. They’d be alright. Come on, go to bed.” I conceded and left for my room again, but when it was night, I opened my eyes and looked out of the window, only to see many men camped under it. Initially, fear of an ambush filled me, but their faces were familiar, and after close study I realized that they were the guards who'd been present earlier. But why were they- oh.Appa must have placed them outside my window after our discussion since he didn't trust me. I scoffed, and quietly stepped out of the room, hoping that my housemate was sound asleep. Then I looked out the kitchen window. It was devoid of men. Thank goodness.As soon as I found
