DERRICK’s POV.The moment I set my eyes on her even outside the pack, I knew that she was not just an ordinary wolf. I am quite aware of the fact that she is not able to wolf out but that doesn’t make her any less interesting. Seeing her here today, my suspicions are confirmed. From the way she is looking and all that, I know she is just as stubborn as a mule but too bad for her, I will break her into a thousand tiny pieces. I don’t think she has heard enough stories about me to make her scared to her wits.My train of thoughts is interrupted when a soft knock resonates in my ears and the huge doors push open to reveal Katana.I have ruled the nightshade pack for years and my terror still lingers on everyone, I am just as ruthless. Being a Lycan has its own perks, I am the devil just like I love to call myself.“Master” she kneels before me and pays her respects.“You have done well Katana” I tell her as I cross one of my leg over the other, “I am really impressed”Katana is one of m
IMOGEN’s POVI knew for a fact that if I kept making noise, the Lycan king was going to come for me and luckily he did. I am trying to implant my memory into his head, this is one of the major things master has taught us, taking the bull by the horn. Kneeling in front of him and looking at him from up close, I see a lot of resemblance to master. They are both ruthless and vile but one thing Is for certain, where Master Athan is, Lycan Derrick has to bow.I also can’t help but notice the way Katana wad looking at me, I am already in her bad books and finishing me off is just a matter of time but one thing I am sure of is the fact that Derrick already knows me.With that in mind, I close my eyes to sleep and wake up the next day but before I can even steady my thoughts, I hear the door open and I open my eyes to see Katana coming towards me looking all angry. From the look of things, I can surely say she has a thing for the Lycan king. This makes me remember my master and how he reje
IMOGEN’s POV.After we are done bathing, I put on my clothes and all I can say when I see me reflection in the water is “wow”Black has never looked better on me and with the way it compliments my skin, I am actually glad I did collect it.“Wow imogen, this looks so good on you”“Thank you” I tell her with a fake smile hovering over my face.The gown is long and bare from the shoulders while a slit is running to my thighs. Everyone has the exact same thing but I prefer the one on my body. I am mostly dressed in men's clothes, more like pants and shirts which I am much more comfortable in and the only time I had worn a dress was the night I spent with my master. That day is still fresh in my memory like it was just yesterday, and…My thoughts are interrupted when some of the Euriuffs come to the river and lead us out.Katana is still waiting for us and the moment our eyes meet, I can see the look of disdain that is embedded in her eyes. One thing I am sure of is the fact that if hand
DERRICK’s POVAs Rey falls to the ground, a look of horror appears on everyone’s faces and Imogen can’t help but gasp in fear which makes the smile on my lips intensify. I know she has no fear in her but I still want to show her who the boss is.Rey is one among my best warriors but that doesn’t mean he can do as he pleases, touching a sacrifice that has been kept for the goddess is a taboo.I walk back to my chair before handing Katana the dagger and I can see how surprised she looks, everyone in the room is equally surprised.“Did you see what I did to him?” I ask Imogen as I lower myself on the chair, “that is what I do to liars, people who take me for granted. Do you hear me?”“Yes master” she answers with a gulp while the others are all quivering in fear, they dread what I am about to do.“Go on ahead and eat” I tell them, “but be careful what you eat”They all pick up their spoons again while the lady in front of me tries to stand up but I halt her, I want her to watch and learn
IMOGEN’s POV..The moment the dagger makes contact with my body, I feel my skin burning underneath. It is like I am being bitten by thousands of snakes all at once and the smell of blood is just so choking.Nara is still beside me and she looks so scared while Derrick didn’t even flinch, it seems like this is how he wants to finish me off while Katana has the most priceless smirk on her face. I didn’t realise I was a competition for her until now, it is not like I am even here to take her place. I am here on a mission and that is to kill but it is for later, right now I can feel my life slowly slipping away from me and all I can do is think about master Athan. Maybe this is the day I die but how I wish I can see him one more time before I die. Call me crazy but this is how much I am in love with my mate.“Are we going to let her die?” I hear Katana ask.“What do you think?” Derrick responds as he stands up from his chair and walks up to Nara who didn’t even know what to do and he s
ATHAN’s POVI gently open my eyes and the first person I see is Brown, he has come with my morning tea and I can’t help but heave a sigh. He is always on time.“Good morning master” he greets as he bows gently.“Morning Brown” I answer while dragging my body from the bed, “why are you so early by the way?” I ask further while throwing my robe over my body, “you should have taken more rest”“Of course not master” his lips curl into a bright smile, “how dare I sleep when today is an auspicious day for all of us? Even the goddess Selene will be mad at me if I don’t accord her the respect she deserves”“Oh” I nod my head as I pick up my tea, “I see”A soft knock on the door reaches our ears and the door opens to reveal silver and Ace. They both walk into the room.“Good morning master,” Silver says.“Tell me”“First of all, the full moon is finally today, accept our congratulations master. Today we get to see the people who will wolf out today and those who will find their mates”At the
IMOGEN’s POVI gently open my eyes as I groan in pain slightly. I can still feel the discomfort from the wound and the eerie sensation of the dungeon didn’t even let me breathe in properly, this is two days after I am thrown into this lone dungeon by myself and neither has anyone come to see me or even give me food. Neither Katana or even the Lycan Derrick, how I wish he will come and see me. I can not put my plan in action if he doesn’t come to see me.My reverie of thought is interrupted when I hear a large bell from the outside and before I can register that in my head, the huge iron doors open and Rey enters inside with a grim look on his face. I am aware of the fact that he hates me after what I did to but I don’t even care, I will do it a thousand times again.“You are ready to die, huh?” He snickers as he unties me, “I will watch your life end, Imogen” he whispers again but I don’t even bother to answer him as he leads me out of the room, he is the least of my worries right
After he is done talking, Derrick lets go of my neck and shoves me away before collecting the watering can from me again and he continues on with his work. I keep standing not knowing what to do, I don’t know if I should leave or not but my thoughts don’t linger much. After a few minutes, he turns to me again with a questionable look gracing his face.“Tell me all about you, Imogen” he demands and for a moment, I freeze.“I am just a lowly person master, I don’t want to bore you with my life story”Derrick stops for a while and turns to me but he doesn't say anything, I am wondering what he is thinking and the look in his eyes makes my hair stand on edge. He is actually terrifying and I have to act like I am scared of him.“I was born to a lone wolf woman who died a few years after she birthed me” I start talking, “I have lived and wandered all of my life and when I finally found my mate, he rejected me in the midst of everyone”Part of the story is full of lies but I am not about t
