MORGANA’S POV
Reece shoves me inside the alpha’s room as he was commanded by the alpha.
“You better pray real hard the Alpha’s in a good mood today. After that show you just pulled out there, you’ll need a god on your side.” Reece says scornfully before leaving me alone in the room.
Looking back on what I just did, I realize how stupid I acted. I acted on emotion and not logic and I might get killed for it. If they could punish a slave for stealing bread, I wonder what they’ll do to me for interrupting the punisher.
I can’t get killed now. I haven’t even made any progress with my plans to overthrow the werewolves yet. If I die now, everything will be for nothing. My time as a slave, me coming to the castle, my whole life would mean nothing.
I pace around the room thinking about what I can do to make my situation better. I’m totally going to die. My plans to save the human race have been ruined by my own emotions.
I’m pacing around the room as the doors open wide, the alpha coming into view. I immediately fall to my knees in submission as he walks towards me.
He gets in front of me and I mentally prepare for the kicks and slaps I’m no doubt about to receive. Yet he just stands there, staring me down. If he’s waiting for an apology, he won’t get one. I’m not sorry for defending that poor girl, I’m just sorry for the consequences of my actions.
“Stand up.” He commands slowly, irritation laced in his voice. He doesn’t sound as angry as I expected him to be.
“Look at me.” He says making me raise my head slowly to meet his gaze. He reduces the space between us by walking closer to me. I’m so small in front of him that my head doesn’t even reach his chest. My neck already hurts from looking up trying to see his face. What the hell kind of nutrients does he take for him to grow his big?
He stares down at me with his dark eyes. He doesn’t even look angry, just curious.
“No slave has ever attempted what you did out there.” He states. “You will not repeat it again.”
I say nothing as I keep staring at him waiting for a slap, but he does nothing.
He didn’t do anything while that girl was being punished. While she was being flogged like an animal. He just stood there and watched even though he had the power to stop it. He didn’t care.
I’m so angry at all of them. From the Beta to the punisher to this stupid alpha in front of me. I’m so angry about what they did to that poor girl. I'm angry at all the werewolves in the crowd. They were mocking her pain. I wonder if she’s even still alive. I wonder if they kept whipping her after Reece dragged me out of there. God, they even stripped her naked before giving her those lashes. What kind of monsters do something like that?
“I’m expected to punish you for what you did out there. Luckily for you, I’ve had a change of heart. We’ve lost enough humans already.” He gazes at the wall at his last statement.
What does he mean by that? Why does he suddenly care whether or not humans live? If we die out, he can just use the vampires as slaves. The werewolves rarely use vampires as slaves though. I’ve always wondered why. Maybe it’s a form of precaution or the fact that the sunlight burns them.
Maybe they’re scared of the vampires since they were once stronger but then the vampires are weaker now due to the little amount of blood they get since they got defeated by the werewolves. So why are there more human slaves than vampire slaves.
In fact, I hardly ever spotted vampires while I was at the slavery organization. They were always so isolated. And if they aren’t been used as slaves as much as humans despite the fact that they are under the werewolf rule, then what the hell are they being used for.
Construction? I think.
No. They can’t go out in the sun.
What is the werewolf nation doing with all those vampires they captured? Another thing I’ll have to find out during my time here.
“Are your wounds healing properly?” The alpha suddenly blurts out the most unexpected question.
“Yes master.” I reply, slightly lowering my gaze. God, this man is basically a giant. My neck hurts.
He grabs my head scanning my neck area, then he spins me around examining the exposed parts of my skin. I hate the way his hands feel on my skin. It makes me want to puke.
“Good. You should look a bit more decent in a few days.” He states as he walks backwards away from me.
“I’m not hungry so don’t bother getting me lunch.” He says.
He takes off his cloak and shirt revealing his bare chest and abdomen as he falls to his back in bed. I’m conflicted.
Why isn’t he being cruel like the first time I met him? I need him to hit me, to say mean things to me like he did before. I need him to fuel my anger. I need him to give me more reasons to hate him.
I walk to my cage sitting on my bed as I stare at the big room.
“Tell me about yourself pet. I’m bored.” The alpha says from his bed.
What the hell? Why does he want to make small talk with me? I have no interest in talking to him, least of all tell him anything about my personal life.
Noticing my silence he lifts himself off his bed and grabs a chair. He places it in front of my cage and takes a seat in front of me.
“If I have to ask again, it won’t me pretty.”
I can tell he’s holding himself back from using his hands on me. The first day I met him, he didn’t hesitate to slap me for not bowing. He says he doesn’t want to lose anymore humans, that means he can’t hurt me anymore even if he wants to. The only thing he can use on me now are his words.
A weakness I plan on exploiting later. For now, I will not overstep. I’ll give him what he wants. I’ll tell him my story.
DAMON’S POV“If I have to ask again, it won’t be pretty.” I say to Morgana.Of all the pets I’ve had Morgana is the most interesting. She knows her place, but she isn’t scared of me. All the other pets I had would whimper and even cry at the sound of my voice. All the other pets I’ve had committed suicide. Some because I was probably too harsh on them and others just because they hated me so much they would rather die than serve me.But Morgana is different. She hates me, I can sense that but there’s a determination in her eyes when I look at her. It makes me curious and at the same time cautious of her. She may be a puny human and no match for my werewolf force, but despite the show I put on about being all powerful and disregarding the lives of humans, I do not underestimate anyone and I’m definitely not about to underestimate Morgana.As werewolves, we have an instinct instilled in us, if someone has bad intentions towards us, we can sense it. Basically every human and vampire we h
DAMON’S POV New day, new responsibilities, three species to keep tabs on, three whole nations to keep in check. I’m bored honestly. For three years everything has gone my way. For three years no one has dared defied me. For three years I have ruled successfully over three nations. I need some action. Oh I need someone to dare me. This calm and quiet has been going on for too long. The humans and vampires made it a bit too easy. I barely lost any pack members during the war. Well, I shouldn’t be complaining. This is what I wanted and I got it. I’m the most powerful man in the world. Morgana woke up pretty early today. She fixed my bath, cleaned my room and brought me breakfast already. Even if I wanted to make her life miserable for a while, I can’t. She’s being a good pet. Bummer. I would’ve loved to push her around a little. Just for the fun of it. Now she’s just sitting in her cage. I’ve felt her staring at me for a while. I turn my gaze towards her and she quickly lowers her hea
DAMON’S POV I forgot how massive this castle was. I’ve been walking for a few minutes now and I still haven’t reached the underground dungeon where we keep our vampire slaves. The vampires that we use to make our serum. Yep, that is the werewolf nation's biggest secret. The secret to how the werewolves became the most dangerous, feared and strongest creatures in the world. The answer is vampire blood. If my dad were here he would laugh at how ironic this all is. The same people who would have taken over us and used us as slaves are the same people who saved us. I have no idea how the biology of all of it works. That is all up to our scientist. All I know is, the serum made from vampire blood mixed with our werewolf DNA gives birth to something amazing. This is the key to our rule which is why the humans are so important to us. We need them to feed the vampires so we can use their blood to produce more serum. Just a single bottle of serum requires blood from fifty vampires. But that
WARREN’S POV Intelligence isn’t always a blessing. Sometimes it causes destruction, death, jeopardy. Sometimes intelligence is a curse. The only thing my intelligence caused is a war. A war that took many lives, including my parents’. Everything started with me. Everything is my fault. God, I was such an idiot. But I did it for family, I did it for love. I just wanted to be free from the hold the vampires had on us. I wanted to save my parents. My parents and I were used as blood banks under the rule of those blood suckers. It was three years ago. I try to tell myself that I was only seventeen, I didn’t know what I was getting myself into. When I think about my escape from the vampire nation that day, it still baffles me. “You are not going to spend the rest of your life in this hell hole.” My mother said to me once. Her and father promised they were going to get me out of there. They said I was too smart and gifted to waste away, being used as a blood bank. And so they did. I r
KILLIAN’S POVI almost died. I can’t believe I let my guard down as much as I did. We thought ourselves the most powerful creatures in the world. We thrived and moved forward never looking back to check if we were in danger. There was no need to check anyways. The vampires were the most powerful. Even as the werewolves attacked that day, I still kept my head held high. ‘Just what exactly do they think they can do to us?’ I thought to myself that day as the invasion started. Of course they attacked during the day and tore down half our fortress, the only thing shielding us from the sunlight destroyed. That of course gave them a huge advantage, but I was still confident they couldn’t do anything to us. A quarter of my people immediately burned exposed to the sun’s rays. Me being the vampire lord, the most powerful vampire in existence, I am more resistant to the burn of the sun. I walked confidently towards the alpha, plunging at him and ready to rip out his throat. To my surprise h
ALANA’S POV*In the forbidden forests*“Alana snap out of it!” My mother says shaking me awake from the trance I was just in. I have never had a vision before. “I think I just got a vision Mom.” Her eyes grow wide at my statement. “But you’re not a seer. You’re a nature witch. How can you get a vision?” She questions.“I have no idea mom but that’s what it felt like. It felt like a pull, it felt so real.” I say still shivering from what I just saw. “Come on. If there’s anyone who can explain, it’s the supreme witch.” She grabs my hand quickly and leads us out of our little house. Far into the forbidden forests is where the witches and some humans who have escaped tyranny live. We’ve been here for decades, too scared to meet the cruelty of the outside world. Everything is simple for us in here.We live in peace. The witch supreme created a boundary. Only humans and witches can come in and out of these forests. She said it was to protect us from the vampires and werewolves.My mom
MORGANA’S POVDamon looks worried. He’s been pacing from left to right all day. Good. Whatever it is that’s getting him all worked up, I hope he gets a stroke and dies because of it.It has been exactly forty days since I was brought to the castle to be the Alpha’s slave and it brings me a copious amount of shame to admit that I haven’t made any progress in my plans. I have found out absolutely nothing concerning the werewolves.It’s annoying and frustrating. I need to up my game and I need to do it fast.Ever since the Alpha put out his new law concerning the humans, everything has been better for us. They give us better food now, thrice a day. We have better clothes and better beds. They even stopped beating us too. Sorry Mr. Punisher, I guess you lost your job.This special treatment they’re giving us, I know it’s not because they care about us. The werewolves don’t give a shit about us humans. The alpha said he’s tired of losing humans, that we’re dying out too quickly. He probabl
DAMON’S POV “What are you thinking about Morgana?” I haven’t called her pet in seven days. I can tell she likes the new change given the way her face lights up every time I call her by her name. It’s almost cute. “Nothing master.” She replies quietly from her cage. I don’t believe her. “Don’t lie to me.” I state, raising a brow as I continue staring at her. “I was thinking about my parents.” I still don’t believe her. Why is she lying to me? I crease my brows, a frown forming on my forehead as I stare keenly at her. I open my mouth to ask her not to lie to me again but then I decide to play along with her instead. Clearing my throat, I walks towards my king-sized bed, getting comfortable as I fall to my back on it. “Do you miss them?” I ask, a faint smirk on my face she can’t see. A silly question I know, but I’m bored and stressed and need someone to taunt. “I do.” She answers simply. I can hear the pain in her voice. I should probably stop, but I have a thing for hurting peop
