Chapter 3 Obey The Iron Laws or Suffer

last update Last Updated: 2025-02-14 16:46:41

"You will be mine! You are destined to not escape!" A wolf in the darkness, its green eyes glaring at me.

Its claws reached out for me, and I was so scared that I immediately ran away!

"No! I will absolutely not become your mate!"

"Ah?!" I immediately screamed, then a pair of large hands steadied me.

"Beatrix," a gentle voice called, giving me a light push, "Wake up." I opened my eyes to see my best friend, Colton. He was a human-werewolf hybrid, bullied just like me.

Colton looked at my attire quizzically, his sapphire eyes sparkling in the sunlight like the ocean. "What happened last night? You overslept, unlike your usual self."

We had a fixed time to train every day. That was why he came to my home.

Lying wasn’t an option with Colton otherwise he would continuously pester me until I revealed the truth and apart of me hated lying to him. Therefore, I spoke the truth, recounting the entirety along with Nathan’s proposal that I denied to his dismay and the way he began touching me inappropriately again.

Colton’s entire demeanour that was steeled in his immaculate composure – softened. He frowns, staring pensively. “I’m so sorry that this happened to you. I think you need to be more obedient and brush off whatever they say. I know sometimes it’s difficult for you to suppress your anger and that hatred festering within you for the wolves is making you lose your temper.”

I know Colton means well but it takes every ounce of me not to fling the pillow at his face with a stream of insults. Swallowing the impulse, Colton returns to setting up his station, a dejected silence spanning between us.

“Are you really willing to accept our current reality?” I asked, watching his body tense at the weight of it.

“This cannot be our lives; everyone has given up and accepted this horrible fate.” I confessed in a distressing voice, “This isn’t living Colton.”

He walks over to the window where the sunrise radiates into a marvellous glow that bathed the office. Highlighting his ethereal features and pale hair. “What do you expect? Humans and hybrids have been oppressed for all these years. It’s bound to break their resolve and now we just succumb to our fate.” He conveyed dispiritedly.

Colton’s buried his pain, enduring the suffering with a plastic smile and piles of work. His fate was sealed in suffering for being born a hybrid. His mother failed the genetic screening, flames of hope dancing within her heart to be with her human boyfriend. However, all werewolves do is take, selfishly his father stole her chance at happiness by choosing her to be his mate.

That’s when she spiralled into misfortune, forced to break up with her boyfriend. She was tortured relentlessly by her husband, enduring the anguish and sinking deeper into despair. Maybe apart of her did despise Colton since he shared the blood of the man she hated, but I couldn’t presume such thoughts, only what Colton told me.

When Colton turned five, she took her own life.

On numerous occasion Colton has expressed his gratitude to be born a male, since human women are destined to lead a similar life of sorrow. It also solidified that hybrids were oppressed just as much as us.

“I’ve been working on it.” I mutter in a low voice, Colton turning around so fast that it gave me whiplash.

He devours the space between us, scanning the medical room that remained empty. “You’re going to get caught.” He whisper-yells in frustration, brows furrowing, “I told you to stop.”

“I’ve been giving a chance to further experiment; how can you expect me not to take the opportunity. Special weapons can harm wolves and I’ve been working on one that stops their healing abilities through crystal dust.” I explained, digging into my bag and showcasing the pistol along with a bullet infused with gunpowder, silver and tourmaline that I stole from the company.

Colton snatches the pistol, stuffing it into his backpack. Fury churning within his gaze as they met mine, “Are you insane Bellatrix? You cannot own any weapons; you know the Iron Laws. Humans aren’t allowed to have weapons of any kind, if they find this – not only will you be punished but your entire district will face the same punishment.” He snapped with a belligerent tone.

The punishment is an endless torture of any kind they deemed fit. Even if the price was a finger or an eye, they will take it. If I died from blood loss, that would be on me and not because of them.

He didn’t have to reiterate what was drilled into me since birth, The Iron Laws.

Each district is governed by a different werewolf pack, and strict laws are enforced to supress any conspiracy of a rebellion.

Those unbreakable and dire consequences were the Four Great Iron Laws, especially the third one.

Mate Selection: When humans come of age (18), they must undergo the mandatory genetic screening to determine if they are a werewolf’s mate. Werewolves have the option to choose whether they want to accept or reject the bond, and humans have no rights to reject.

I knew I was being reckless in breaking more than one, I wasn’t oblivious to that fact. In order to make a change, one has to make sacrifices to get one step closer to the army of rebellion, even if it was a rumour.

“I’m aware of the risks, I’m aware that breaking the rules will cost me my life.” I glowered.

Colton shakes his head, a storm brewing of indignation in those orbs. “I don’t think you realise the consequences, not only will it cost you your life, but our district will have to face the wrath of the Werewolf King. You are putting everyone in danger.” He chastised.

“Only you and Bonnie know about the weapon, trust me no one knows.” I reassured calmly, “I’ve been careful since day one and no one will question a human that was admitted to the academy specifically for the weaponry.”

He shoots a glare at me. “That doesn’t ease my worries. I’m keeping this until your genetic screening is over. We can’t take any chances; this is for your own protection.” Colton finished with a warning finger that left no room to argue.

Rolling my eyes, “Fine. But I’m getting it back after.”

Colton’s lips curve into a triumph smile, I’m not one to yield to him easily and this was a first. “Of course, this is for your sake Bellatrix. You might not see it, but I’m trying to do what’s best for you despite the circumstances.”

I soften, my lips pursing into a pout at his kindness. “I know Colton.”

He is a man of deep benevolence; however, he was also more inclined to follow the rules than I was. I appreciated his concern, but while he shared my same views of hatred towards the wolves, he followed the rules without any resistance.

We would never be alike, and it had nothing to do with his blood.

I noticed Bonnie didn't come home all night, has she gone crazy? But her text popped up, reminding me again not to forget the necklace, she kept reminding me. The next round of gene screening will be in five days.

I glanced at the calendar on my phone, a gloomy cloud looming over the reminder.

The next round of gene screening will be in five days. I prayed again that I wouldn't become the Wolf King's mate!

An ugly swirl of purple and black colouring my cheeks and stretching to my left eye, quickly applying an entire tube of concealer over them.I couldn’t have any imperfections. For the genetic screening, humans were required to be pristine in order to make the choice easier for werewolves.

Gently brushing his knuckles against my cheek, the touch soft and delicate like a feather.“Who did this to you?” he asked again in a low voice.Pressing my lips tightly together, swallowing the names. I’m not a fool to think Lazarus cares about me, I’ve begrudged the notion of others saving me. Only I can save myself and I’ve handled the bullying thus far. “None of your business.” I grit through my teeth in response, not meeting his gaze.“I’m giving you one more chance, tell me.” he demands aggressively, “Tell me Bellatrix.”I scoff, frustrated. “I don’t need to tell you anything, it’s none of your business.”I knew my place with Lazarus, a human mate that he only saw as a slave to his desires. “The deal was to give you an heir, not to give you my secrets.” I said, my voice asse

I felt suffocated the more I stared at it, curling my fingers underneath to search for anything that would unlock it. At the base of my throat I felt a textured square, it felt like a microchip.Lazarus wasn’t lying, there is a bomb in this collar.In the weapons departments, there were many instances that I had to deal with bombs therefore I knew how to get out of this. If I could get the chip out without triggering the bomb, then the collar will unlock automatically.Rummaging through Lazarus bedroom and bathroom for anything that could pry the chip out of the collar. After a solid ten minutes of nothing, I opted for the letter opener at his nightstand. The edges were still sharp, I had to be careful that I don’t apply too much pressure and accidently plunge it into my throat.Returning to the mirror and sliding the letter opener between the gap in my collar u

Bellatrix’s bruised lips were too enticing, sparks igniting on mine as they craved hers. Pressing my lips against her neck, sucking and biting until I’ve marked her even more. A buzzing under my skin as she moaned in ecstasy, obeying as I squeezed her perfect breasts.“Lazarus.” She moaned softly.I want to fuck her endlessly, I want to fuck her so hard that her pretty pussy cannot handle anymore, I want her soaking these sheets again and begging for me even when she’s too sore.Bellatrix exhaled.

You never give compliments without critics.”He smiled, “You know me well,” taking a lock of my hair and gently playing with it. “Xander was a stroke of luck, what are you going to do if it’s someone of my size.”I swallowed, a fluttering initiating in my chest at his actions, they were distracting, and I’ve noticed that he’s been doing it frequently. “Utilize my skills-“Before I could speak, he grabbed my hand and twisted my body until my back was plastered against his chest.

I’m momentarily stunned at what transpired, it happened in the blink of an eye.“W-why do you have royal taster?” I blurted, “You never had one before-““I’ve always had one.” Lazarus stated, getting up without eating nor drinking anything on the table. “When you prepared my meals, I didn’t need one.” His lips curled into a devilish grin as he teased, “Where was a human going to get poison here?”“Poison…” I mumbled. It’s been two days since I saw the lengths these assassins will go to in order to kill him.

This is what happens when people think they can try and kill me.”The pressure intensified in my chest as he lifted his hand, bloody tainted fingers twirling a lock of my hair. He was completely engrossed, his words soft and lethal. “So beautiful and I’ve tainted you.”“Who was that?” I blurted in question, despite the fear slithering in my veins like poison.He tilts his head, his gaze shrouded in darkness. “Concerned?”Swallowing the lump forming in my throat, a spillage of truth in his words.“An assassin.” Lazarus answered, his hand falling. “Many people want me dead Ma Cherie, you are just another person added to the list.”I blinked, a speck of desolation flic

I didn’t even get to say goodbye. “How long?”Judah reads another document, stamping the pages with a royal mark. “Indefinately. They are required to monitor and provide feedback before taking action.”Being Lazarus assistant had it’s advantages, I was privy to information regarding the inner workings of his system.

I can be the predator just as much as you.” I smirked, my voice sweet and condescending.Lazarus eyes sparkled poisonously, flooding my bloodstream with the toxic substance of his evil tendencies. “Ma Cherie,” his voice smooth like whiskey, “you have to be more vicious than this if you ever want to be a predator.”Entranced by those pitch-black orbs, a dark tower looming over me with vile intent.

This was a completely new experience, uncharted territory because I’m venturing into werewolf’s domain as the only human without any semblance of power.A tightening initiated in my chest, searing my lungs and making it difficult to swallow. Anxiously bouncing from one foot to the other, Valeria placing a comforting hand onto my shoulder. “It’s going to be fine, I’m here.” She smiled reassuringly.Considering our first encounter was a disaster, I found myself believing her sincerity. The spa was in the central district, a different location and Valeria informed that there are various sections that make-up this place.Pushing
