“HNGH!” I close my eyes, trying to endure the sting from the lasso. It has been a month since I was staying in the dungeons. I was thrown in right after Calvin’s outburst at me in front of Lucius’ friend.The problem is that the trial for my punishment should have been held three days after I was thrown into the cells, but it has been a complete month of me counting the days through the small window of this smelly place and I was never called.Instead, I get whipped everyday by the pack warriors I tutored how to wield a rope against an enemy myself. I groan as another hit landed on my back. I guess Calvin, as the Alpha, pulled some strings to keep me suffering in here. A memory of what he said flashed in my mind,“I never knew you were a whore, Maryna. Meeting your lover at midnight, huh? I should have known you would open your legs to any man like the bitch you’ve always been.” “Hngh!” I bite back the sob that was aching to be let out deep in my throat. I can’t cry or the punishment
There were days that I felt like my eyes were lying to me. Like that one time, I was five years old, when I was eating lemon and thought it was oranges and even went to the former Luna to ask what it actually was, and it was actually apple and I was eating too much.This time, it was Lucius, and I don’t know if he’s an actual apple or I just see it as him. He looked down at me smiling before extending his hand in my rugged state.What does he think of me now that I’m still wearing the same clothes I did from the last time we were stuck in that cave? I bite my lip, stopping myself from running away from this embarrassing moment. He’s the Alpha King. This was actually happening and he’s the most powerful werewolf in history. I should have known that when he showed me his true form. That godly black wolf with crimson eyes staring down at me in the forest a month and two days ago. I should have known.As if he was some almighty savior, the sunlight illuminated his back creating an immacu
I shudder underneath his manly grasp as he breathes me in and out, it was as if my soul was leaving my body and coming back once more. I hold onto his arm to avoid myself giving up together with my knees and being pulled by the waist. “Don’t resist, I know you feel it.” he whispered and I closed my eyes by how close he was. I bite my lip as he inserted his hand inside my shirt. As if waking up to reality, I instantly pull his hands away, stepping back in a complete daze. “Y-your highness . . .” I stammer, panting. “Goddess, how much longer do I have to endure this?” he throws his hands up in the air and stepped closer. “No, stop, Lucius. I-” I clear my throat, trying to find the right words to say. “I didn’t know you back then. What happened in the auction, remains in the auction,” I stare directly at his black orbs.Defiance raced through his gaze and my stomach flutters.Stop it.“Please.” I added before turning around, not waiting for his reply. I bite my lip, fixing myself as I
“Why are you here?” Lucius directly asked her, tone bland of any emotions. “I’m here to let you see the painting the both of us bought!” she exclaimed. I peered up at what was happening, she was grinning from ear-to-ear in front of Lucius.What a bitch.“What I’m asking you is why are you barging in my room like that?” I see Raine’s eyes widen in confusion, a nervous chuckle coming out of her. “We’re both in the auction! Of course I’ll be friendly!” She smiled. I roll my eyes once more.“The painting, it looked like you! you were a beautiful baby!” she smiled and I saw Lucius’ eyes change subtly. What, is he already falling for her?I felt the bed creaked as they both sat in it. “You’re not the real Luna, right?” Lucius directly asked and my eyes bursted wide. Why in the world would he say that?“Oh! Did I say I was back then? I-uh, well the real Luna was clearly demoted because of her personality!” she chuckled hesitantly. I clench my fist from under the bed. “Oh, really?” I can sme
“Oh, and I enjoy every single second of it.” I smirk at Calvin who’s face only grew even more aggressive. His hand on my jaw lowered down my neck and he pressed me to the wall even harder. “You bitch, I should have known you were a fucking prostitute.” He stares down at me with hate and a tinge of betrayal.Ha, what now? He feels betrayed?I sucked in a breath as he tightens his grip on my skin, so hard I’m fairly sure it might leave a mark later on. I try my hardest to smirk, not giving the least of the satisfaction he’s sucking off in me. “So what’s it to you? shouldn’t you be with your mate, let her suck in your dick maybe?” Oh late Luna, if you see your son and me right now, what have we become?“Oh, right,” I smirk at him, remembering earlier.“—She’s off for the Alpha King’s feet.” I mumble and his eyes turned dark, raising his hand up in the air. I closed my eyes expecting the impact coming when his hand on my neck rushed off me and he lowered his head.I turned to the door a
“Hurry the fuck up!” I rush to throw the garbage outside, the can heavy with dirt and whatever shit they throw in here. I try my best to stop myself from breathing in the intolerable smell.A sigh of relief overcame me when I finally dumped it out. Now time to get this grime of a uniform off of my skin. Goodness, I need to take a bath. I walk back to the door, a few meters away from me. I smell my uniform once again as a whip of wind comes splashing.“Should I shower to—” I wasn’t able to continue talking or even walk when someone had their hand tight on my mouth. “We got her!” Another person from behind rustles out of the bush and they drag me to the forest. The panic rose in me and I instantly threw my head back, hitting the person grabbing me in the chin. I bite her hand causing her to stagger stepping back.“She’s biting, fuck! Hold her!” Two other people go to lunge at me and I circle them. “What do you want?!” I shout, hoping that it was at least loud enough for any of the Ome
I drop to my knees, the emotions building up inside me as I reckon our conversation. Lucius was pissed, gone was the gentle persona he saved up for me. A tear slipped out of my eye and I angrily wiped it away. Morning came and it was down to only day one. Lucius was around — and when I say around, I mean he’s scattered around lots of women.I’m pissed at him, but most of all, I’m pissed at myself from feeling such things. He’s not my boy toy, and maybe I loved the way he treated me. It was a different feeling I haven’t felt before.And maybe it was selfish to feel such things. I loved the power I hold when it comes to him, it’s like holding an alive, beating heart in the palm of your hand and you decide when to crush it. I’m planning to at least apologize for my behavior last night. He was right, it was an attitude even I’d never put up with if I was him. The timing just isn’t coming.Night time drives past and I sigh as I stare at the worn out mirror in the Omega’s quarters. I can
Thankfully, the room was peacefully empty when I came back. There was no sign of Calvin hiding anywhere. I even checked the covers and under the bed to make sure he’s not here to do something I’m sure I won’t be able to stop him from.Tomorrow morning came. They stationed all Omegas to help prepare for the ceremony to bid the King goodbye. The Alpha King rarely goes out of the palace, and so do his subordinates. I’m sure if you’re the ruler of every single pack there is, someone who stands at the top of the hierarchy, you would be packed with workloads. I cringe as I reckon the image of myself drowned under Penston Pack’s work trying to impress a man I’m sure I’ll never be able to get. And now, here comes Lucius, having the exact effect on me. But I’ve already promised myself that there’s no repeating. To endure it once more for the sake of love is stupidity.Since last midnight, I haven't heard Calvin or Elliot. I assume he’s taking care of the Alpha’s duties considering he’s the B
