Brielle's POV It was the middle of the night. I had been dragged to a small, stuffy, and smelly room. I peeped through the little window that brought little to no ventilation. I could see the dilapidated restroom there. Why did I have to live in the room close to it? Probably where I was put now was meant to be a restroom, but it collapsed. I contemplated leaving here to find some better place to lay my head, even if I would have to sleep on the field. It was much more convenient than sleeping in this tight room. And then I remembered the last word Killian said to me, about revealing my unfaithfulness to him and the pack in general. His threat seemed valid as he had promised to announce it to the pack by dawn. He didn't want to see me; I had assumed that he would get angry each time he set his eyes on me. He had placed me in this room, far away from his and tight with security outside so I wouldn't come near his room to plead with him not to reveal the secret. If that secret was
Killian's POV My guard had just left. I needed to choose a few ladies to satisfy my pleasure. I wasn't losing interest in Brielle but I needed to teach her a lesson not to ever leave her helper in the lurch. She had been taken to the packed cell. I didn't want her to reveal my secrets as she had threatened. I ensured she remained in the room while I mind-linked the other guards to get down to my room. "The ladies will soon be at the hall," my guard informed now after mind-linking his fellows who were preparing the ladies for the dancing party, "we can start going now." "Don't you think everything has to be ready before I take my leave?" I asked, and he slowly nodded his head, shifting his gaze away from me. "Inform me when everything is set," I instructed and he left. I shut the door and prepared myself for some nice outfit. I didn't need to impress the ladies. They were to impress me. Even if I wore rags, they would still pursue me. I wasn't chasing ladies. Anyone I picked would
Hades' POV Not so long after I was informed about my kid coming towards the hideout, I sighted him at a distance. I waved at him and he waved back. I was glad he could see me effortlessly. I hurried off to meet him lest any rogue stop him from getting to me. As I got to where he was, I lifted him to my hands but his heart was beating fast. I didn't say any words yet. I didn't ask him how he got here but I knew something wasn't right. I chuckled softly to ease the tension but his heart raced faster with terror. "They're coming. Hurry." He finally spoke up as I shifted to my wolf, throwing my head back while my fingers grew into claws. He hunched to my back as I sped off from there. It looked like vampires were around that corner or probably I didn't see them well. All that was paramount at the moment was my son's safety. I eventually got to my pack and shifted back. My son slowly dropped from my back as I held his hands and we marched towards the pack. We got in now as every wolf
Killian's POV She was the one. I saw her. I knew it. That daughter of Jezebel had found her way out of the pack’s cell again. How did she do it? I instructed my Beta to secure the pack’s cell with capable warriors, most especially the room where she was locked up. I didn't expect to see her but these ladies were more than satisfying me, so I wasn't too stressed to think about her. An hour flew by, and I knew it was high time I acted. I needed to do something real quick. She could start exposing my secrets now that she's free. My wolf was trying to convince me she was not the one who stood by my doorstep and watched me. Though I wasn't a hundred percent certain, I still needed to confirm my doubts. "Enough, enough," I said to the ladies but they continued. I kicked the one riding me to the ground while I pushed the one sitting on my chest to the bed. I angrily fumed at them as I got up, and walked towards my wardrobe to get dressed. Both of them stood by the door, waiting for me to
Brielle's POV He suddenly pulled me out, flinging me at the walls as I collided with my back on the ground, my head aching severely as a result. He furiously came towards me again, pulling me up and pinning me to the wall. My breaths choked and I yearned for release but his gaze was burning and the expression on his face wasn't smiling. "Why did you escape? How did you?" He asked and began to laugh hysterically. "You have exposed the secret to people, have you not?" He asked, gently closing in on me as he sniffed the breaths coming from my nose. "I didn't. I promise." I struggled to say but he smirked and shot me a deadly glare. This time around, his gaze remained fixed on me as I felt like I was going to be burned anytime from now. "On your knees!" He ordered and released his grip on my neck. As I slowly crashed to my knees, I began to cough loudly, trying to clear my throat. "Silence." He ordered and stooped as he roughly adjusted my jaw, commanding me to stare at him in the
Hades' POV It was almost noon, yet I was still in my room. Today wasn't a bright one for me. After murdering the dude, I'd been moody though that wasn't the specific cause of the moodiness. Brielle's absence gave me a headache every time as different ideas of getting her back flooded into my memory but I didn't know how to tackle them. I contemplated discussing it with my Beta but he might leak the secrets, wouldn't he? My son was right beside me in bed, his eyes shut, his palms still placed on his eyes so I wouldn't get mad and remove them as I had threatened. "Hey boy, come on," I said and nudged him but he didn't respond. As I scrutinized his face, I realized that he had slept off. I sighed deeply and turned to the other direction of the room, trying to pen down my ideas of getting Brielle back. I had sneaked, I had risked my life, and I had sent warriors as spies, just to get her back. I had gotten her back but still, she sneaked out of the room and still tried to confirm who
Brielle's POV I wasn't aware that someone was coming towards the door. It suddenly pushed open as the guards that came in fired shots at my legs before I could say a word. I dropped the gun on the ground and lifted my hands to indicate my innocence. I could see the master of the Omegas coming towards me. She had been instructed to drag me to the Omega district so I'd start working there, and never get to see Killian again. My problem now wasn't staying in Killian's pack. It was: Killian, do you need me in your pack? If yes, treat me well. If not, then let me leave and meet Hades who has been waiting for me for a long time. He has risked a lot of lives and his own life even, to get to me. If not I wanted to be a hero by confirming who was lurking around in his pack, I would still be in his pack and Killian would have to try again before getting me. Right now, I couldn't leave to be with the one who truly wanted me neither was I enjoying my stay at the pack of the one who chased me
Brielle's POV My wolf grew weaker from the whips being lashed at me. I had no other option than to accept my fate and believe I would die from being flogged. What made the whole scenario worse was that men were appointed to lash me, and not women. I was certain anything related to mercy had been erased from their dictionaries. They didn't grow tired as they kept flogging me as though their lives depended on the intensity of the whip on my body. They were still contemplating amputating my arms when the last person out of them all, whom they were expecting the final say from, nodded his head as he approved it. The one close to me slowly untied my right arm as he placed the knife around my shoulder, about to slice it down so I would be armless and it would be more difficult to flee. My eyes were growing redder as he sliced my chin with the knife which oozed blood. He threatened to slice my neck if I didn't cooperate with him. Killian wasn't here to give it a second thought. Hades
