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
Brielle's POV My eyes snapped open as the foul smell from my new relocation swooned into my nose. I wanted to rise to my feet but here was too dark. I felt like I was on the ground, the mere floor, not the tiled one where I used to be. There wasn't any illumination from anywhere. The last scene that happened before now suddenly returned to my head as I connected it with this current situation. Had I been thrown away or forsaken in some kind of jungle? I rose to my feet though I couldn't see anything forward or behind me. When I got tired of staring at the dark, I lowered myself to the ground and traced my hands to and fro to see if there was anyone close to me. But all I could feel was bones. BONES?! Instinctively, my wolf informed me that we were in the dungeon. The big hole where the bones of murdered wolves were always dumped. Killian's pack had it as well. It was the same place I avoided and hid in a corner when Killian's spy kidnapped me from Hades' pack. I summoned my wolf
Hades' POV The priests were still waiting by the doorstep, expecting me to leave as soon as possible. As I came out of the hall, I shot them a deadly glare and they took a few steps back. My eyes were a bit reddened as I hadn't received an expected message from the moon goddess. Not that the moon goddess had lied to me about anything before now, but I didn't believe her this time around. I was losing faith. I was losing hope to get Brielle and own her eventually. As I walked back towards my room, I assumed a beastly mood, not wanting to stare at anyone, so I wouldn't be moved to kill such. I wasn't in the mood to say a word. My beta noticed from a distance and hurried inside my room, coming out again with the kid's hands clutched to his. I hissed and walked faster to catch up with him but he vanished out of sight. He knew something bad could happen to the kid I'd care wasn't taken. I didn't know who was going to take care!! I wasn't going to!!! He has made a brave move to captur
Brielle's POV Wasn't I good with hiding or was he expert at sniffing nearby scents? He was turning back to stare at me now and I couldn't breathe well. His gaze was shifting already and it was directed towards my side. My gasps only could attract him and I knew immediately that he had seen me. "Little asshole," he snorted as he reaches out for me. I couldn't run away since the pace between us was too short to find a way out. He pulled me out of the corner and as he spoke, his breath made a foul odor. I couldn't endure it as I blocked my nostrils but he sent my fingers away from my nose, claiming I was disrespecting him for doing so. "Now you'll suffer for all the sins you've committed," he said as I sighed, his grip too firm on my hands, "Ice had many chances to kill you but I never did. But all you can think about is following that lowlife, isn't it?" "He's not a lowlife," I said as he slapped me across my chin. "Next time you talk back, I will kill you immediately. Is that ta
Hades' POV They looked scared as I ordered my security wolves to grab all of them. Before they could fire at my wolves, they had grabbed them. "What do you want to do?" I asked one of them who seemed more undaunted, trying to convince the security wolf holding him down to spare his life. I nodded my head slowly and dragged one of them to the chair. "I have a wife. I have a kid." He complained as he screamed, "I don't want my head severed." I pulled out the dagger and slit his throat. "You talk too much," I said, my tone laced with irritation as the other warriors began to shiver. They badly wanted to get out of the security wolf's clutch but my wolves were way stronger. I did the same thing for all of them except one. They all pleaded to be free, claiming what more they still had in life to enjoy. They all offered to show me some favor in return but I didn't want that. All I wanted was to take their lives but the one I didn't kill, impressed me with his words. "I can help you
Killian's POV "I didn't mind linking anyone. I swear!" He said as I revealed a knife clutched to my hands. "Will you speak the truth or not?" I asked, my heart panting fast, encouraging me to go further and murder him. "Did you see my eyes switch light?" He asked. "Never ask me that dumb question again!" I yelled as I reached for his arm with the knife but he dodged it and sent me to the ground, flinging the knife away and pulling me up to the bed. "Let's rule as Alpha and subject, not predator and prey." He said and sighed. "I was indeed mind linking someone and it was my mum. I was scared about what you would do to me I'd informed you about it." He said. "Have I ever murdered anyone for mind-linking his mother?" I asked. "You're unpredictable." He said, his voice firm with determination. "The fact that you escaped from that bloody civilian still amazes me. That dude has learned the art of murdering intruders and his other victims, right from the days of his youth. You proba
Dylan's POV She had informed me about her worries and Hades had responded to me through the mind link. I narrated all his responses to her and she nodded her head slowly, being certain that I was indeed sent from him. She pulled me into a hug and sobbed on my chest. I could feel the pain striking her heart as she was unable to leave the pack of the tormentor, yet couldn't plead with him to reduce the torment. "What could you have done?" I whispered but she heard me. "I also don't know. If you can help me get out of here, I'm going to give you all my monthly pay when I get a good job." She said and resumed sobbing. "No, no. Don't think that way. I wasn't sent to collect money from you before helping you. Hades and I have an agreement, which is the reason I'm here right now." I said and gulped. I pulled her out of the hug and promised to search around this place if I could see some nice clothes. "Don't find the clothes. They'll kill you for taking care of me," she said and sobbed
Hades' POV I had been suspecting Killian had seen me. He could have noticed the familiarity between myself and Brielle. He took her away so she would strip and dance for him to satisfy his pleasures. I was beside the window, gazing at her as she wiggled her ass to soothe his interest. It looked like something she also wanted to do, but I couldn't blame her. To do something to your master's satisfaction, you need to fall in love with that thing. It pissed me off each time she wiggled her ass and Killian's warriors cheered as they moved around her. She was moved closer to Killian where she tweaked her ass close to his lips and he spanked the ass, satisfying his pleasures immensely. When next I had a chance to kill Killian, I definitely would kill him. He had done more than enough to cause me this pain. I quickly left there before I would be noticed. The dicks of his guards had stuck out as they were turned on by her wiggling of ass. I feared they would decide to have turns on her.
Hades' POVWe had returned to our room even before the party was rounded off. I appointed several maids to cater for her while they helped her move her luggage towards her private district for the pack which was now termed as the Luna district.She was over the moon for the development, moving into her district that was more than a chamber. She pulled me into a tight hug and each night, I would go visit her to see how she's faring, and how her new district was treating her.One sunny afternoon, our paths crossed in the field but one of her maids requested for her attention."Attend to your maid first," I told her and a smile appeared across her chin.Before I could turn back, Dylan walked up to me and pulled me into a tight hug. I hugged him compassionately, grateful to have crossed his path in my journey of saving Brielle, and claiming her - fighting for my love, my mate."How has been the rule - the wolves under you?" I asked as he forced a smile across his chin before he retorted,
Brielle's POVIt was the dead of the night and Hades was asleep already. The pack was peaceful as expected. I slowly sat up in bed, yawning to remain conscious.I sat on the chair and pulled out the book I was earlier studying. I flipped the pages open until I felt some hands wrapping around me. I shifted my gaze and turned back. It was Hades."You scared me," I said, pouting my lips.His eyes were still red from lack of sleep as he said, "come to bed. Let's sleep. We'll wake up tomorrow and continue our work.""I'll join you soon." I said, "don't worry about me. Just reading a few pages, promise.""No." He retorted and pulled me towards himself. He collected the book from me and flung it back to the box.I had to sleep in bed till dawn as he rested his head below my chest while my legs were wrapped around his.It was morning and I suddenly noticed I was the only one in bed. The restroom door suddenly opened and he showed up."Brielle. You're up!" He screamed excitedly, scooting his f
Hades' POVIt was time for me to return to my pack again. I had spent two days in the forest already. The moon goddess had called me to the hunt trip to face her for some redemption for the sins I've committed, the blood on my hands and some other atrocities.She said many things about Brielle but there was a part she didn't mention yet, claiming Brielle would reveal it to me anytime later, but I shouldn't be the one to ask.The pack cheered with applause and the Beta rushed to greet me as soon as I arrived.He helped me with the luggage with me, as I almost ran into the security men. I wanted to walk so quickly so no one would stop me for any reason. For today, I was treated like a celebrity, a nice one."The wolves want to throw up a party to welcome you back to the pack. Shall..." He asked, but I interrupted, "let them throw the party."He happily left me after dropping the luggage in my room. I could see how Brielle rolled her eyes at him, but I guessed she wasn't just in the mood
Brielle's POVHades had left for the hunting trip he claimed he was going to. I was in the room alone now, meditating on some certain books when the door creaked open. It reminded me that I had left it slightly ajar.I turned back to check who was there. I was shocked to see his Beta, what did he want from me? He knew Hades had gone but what did he want?"How may I help you?" I asked, as he glared at me, then he shut the door and leaned against it."I'm the acting Alpha of the pack for a few days now. Regard me as that." He said and walked towards the kitchen. He grabbed some fruits from the fridge and took some other diets, then came to the room to devour them."What are you doing?" I asked."If you're not blind," he replied, "I am eating and once I am done eating, I'll eat another thing.""Not from the fridge or the kitchen!" I yelled."Certainly not." He retorted.My gaze reduced as I asked, "how do you mean then?""When I'm done eating, just wait and watch me do my stuff. I am the
Hades' POVSince I had informed Brielle about my departure from the pack for a day or two or at most, three, I deemed it fit to announce it to the pack as well.I contacted my wolf to connect to my Beta's, as I needed him to be in my room very soon. Like though my Beta had preplanned to be in my room, he rang the doorbell quickly. I rushed to get it open, welcoming him in while instructing Brielle to cover her body with the duvet."Alpha, you called me." He said."Yes." I replied and we moved to the kitchen to discuss so Brielle wouldn't hear us out or have an inkling about what our discussion was about. I also needed to ask him a few questions different from the announcement to the pack about my departure."What about Killian? Have you guys buried him?" I asked."We threw his body in the dungeon," he replied, "but he really died. He was brutalized. I stabbed him in the heart thrice before dumping his body in the dungeon, to be certain he really died."I heaved a deep sigh of relief
Hades' POVThe time had come already. I had had several chances to slit his throat and end his life right there but I considering beating him to death as the best option. It was the best revenge ever - served cold."What'd you wanna do now?" He asked as I pinned him to the ground. I directed the knife towards his eyes as he shivered slightly, trying to maintain composure."If you tempt me..." I stuttered. Thinking he would endear me to go ahead, I waited for his response."I am not tempting you, Hades." He said and breathed heavily as I dropped the knife to the ground.Brielle was standing at a close distance to us, shivering slightly as tears pricked around the corners of her eyes. She could no longer withstand him being tortured, and again, there was nothing she could do to it.If she didn't escape from my pack to seek shelter from him, she wouldn't have met him in the first place. Why should she be emotional now?"I thought you're going to be too stubborn to endear me to gouge out
Hades' POVI had just completed a serious session of sex with Brielle and she was looking a bit pale, I had to leave her for sometime.She rushed to the restroom and locked the door before I could get in. She knew I could be aroused, merely by how hee ass wiggled when she moved.I laid in bed, having some rest from the tasks I had undergone earlier, when a message got to my mind. My wolf informed me about another wolf trying to access my mind link to convey an important message.When I connected with the message, it was one of the rogues that was torturing Killian. They had been redeemed and I shouldn't call them rogues anymore but for the fact that I wanted everyone to point to rogues as the killer of Killian, I would keep calling them rogues."I'm sorry. We're sorry in general," he started as I could guess what had happened already."He slipped from your hands?" I asked, waiting to get the expected response."No," he replied and I heaved a deep sigh of relief, "someone broke through
Hades' POVI had sensed he was awake while we yet spoke. I deliberately refrained myself from speaking with the pack doctor outside his chamber. I wanted him to know everything that would be done to him and the main reason why he was brought to the pack healer. Fine, I didn't ask the rogues to bring him to the pack healer but they knew what I wanted.They had heard of he has made me go through, how unfairly he had treated Brielle and wanted him to suffer before closing his eyes slowly and giving up the ghost. I wasn't going to change my mind, not for the murder of Killian."Let me go. Now." He furiously said as he pushed me to the ground while I fell with a big thud. He ran towards the rear direction of the pack, hoping to escape by climbing the fence but my wolf eyes for enraged as my wolf speedily ran after him, catching up with him before he could run away.The rogues soon joined me and the knife was with them. I retrieved it and stabbed his feet with it. I wanted to see how he wa
Killian's POVI had been captured by them. The charm didn't work out eventually. If only I knew, I could have killed the magician. He claimed to be an expert at black magic, yet his experiment didn't even work out at all."I won't touch you," Hades said as he walked into the torture room again where I had been chained to a pole, "but I'll ensure they beat the hell out of you.""Haven't they done enough?" I asked, my voice barely audible."You can ask such question?" He asked, laughing hard as possible, mocking me to the bones."I am not sorry. If you are not cowardice enough, come here and kill me yourself. Don't ask anyone to do that, stupid coward." I said, not relenting. He needed to be dealt with. Whether I was bound or not, I would always defend my rights."And if you're not going to kill me, then fucking unchain me and let me get the hell out of your stupid pack!" I yelled at him.Why was he being so brutal? Since I wouldn't ever get to kiss Brielle or be her best friend and mat
