Take off your clothes!

Brielle's POV

We got to the pack and instead of taking me to alpha Hades, I was taken to a room filled with five young maidens.

I thought they were also bought by him but I was wrong. These maidens were responsible for cleaning me up.

Hours later, the maids had already bathed me and dressed me up nicely in a short red see through gown and a robe to hide my body from other eyes. They had briefed me about things I needed to do to pleasure him and all, which had already wiped off my memory.

The alpha was seated on a sofa and he seemed to be reading a book. He still had that mask on. Does he ever take them off? I couldn’t help but wonder.

I knew I wasn't that attractive and all, but this was never my idea of a mate. I had always wished to have a kind and loving mate.

But here I was, tangled up with a murderer whose face is hidden in a mask probably because he looks like a beast. I cleared my throat to gain his attention but he didn’t even look up.

I walked up to him and then out of pure curiosity, I reached out to touch his mask. The tip of my fingers barely grazed the mask when he looked up and grabbed me roughly by the neck.

“How dare you!” He glared, lifting me as if I weighed nothing so that the tip of my toes scratched the ground softly. I couldn't breathe and I was choking on my saliva.

"What gave you the right to touch me!?" He continued and I shivered from the dangerous glint that shone in his eyes.

"P-please..... I'm sorry,” I managed to say, my voice sounding rough.

My throat was throbbing badly and my pulse hammering wildly. He tightened his grip, of course he didn't care if I died or not. Besides he wasn’t the type to value people's lives.

Not seeing his face made it hard to tell what he was thinking. Could he be thinking of killing me already? Is this how my life would end?

I slapped at his hand as I wriggled under his hold.

"Y-you're hurting--- me, alpha Hades!"

He suddenly let out a maniacal laugh as his pupils constricted with menace. That was when I noticed that he was wearing a different mask, and this one didn't cover his mouth so I could see how he gnashed his teeth roughly.

"I'm hurting you!?" He said in a frosty voice that made my heart skip a beat. “This is what you get for trying to cross boundaries. And did you just call me, alpha?"

Before I could answer, he threw me off and I fell to the ground with a loud thud. My head struck against the wall and the pain was excruciating.

My whole body ached as I gasped frantically for breath. This man was indeed a monster. “The maidens may have forgotten to give you my rules, I will do that now,” he said and paused.

"Henceforth, you shall call me lord! I am your lord and you're my breeder. I bought you therefore it means that I own your body and your soul."

I shuddered violently as his words hit me in the face. The impact stung even more than when he had hit me in the face. Breeder? Had he no idea that we are mates?

“Are you ignoring me,” he growled, trying to reach for my hair but I was quick to dodge.

Enough of his nonsense already, I was done acting cool. “I remember clearly that I never spoke to you until you bid your money on me, which means that I never asked you to bid on me. So why in the goddess name are you rubbing it off my face that you bought me? That aside, why did you buy me in the first place!"

I waited for his reply but it never came, instead he stood there staring at me like I was some kind of psychopath. “And why are you silent, huh? You are surprised that I can display as much madness as you right?”

He still said nothing. I watched a wicked smile creep slowly onto his face. He slipped his hands into his pocket and started taking some steps to me, at this point my fear came jolting back into me and I was considering turning around and taking to my heels.

In no time he got to me and before I could say the word JACK, he grabbed my chin and lifted it roughly so that I looked him straight in the eyes.

The glint in his eyes was dangerous, forcing me to look away, but I refused to buckle. I wasn’t going to let him see that I felt intimidated.

"Do you think you're allowed to talk back at me?" He said in a very low whisper that spoke of intense wickedness.

"Why not?" I spat. "You were inky trying to show off. How would anyone think if purchase---"

"Argh!" I winced in pain as he grabbed my ass and pulled me close to me. What was he doing? My heart was now beating faster than ever.

Slowly he brought his lips closer to my ear and whispered, “You sure are gutsy but I'll show you how I treat lousy women like you!"

With that said, he slid his other hand between my thigh and I shivered from his touch. His eyes looked like they could freeze anyone.

And the mating bond wasn’t helping either.

All of a sudden he pushed me till my back slammed against the wall.

Another dose of pain sliced through my body.

"Strip!" He suddenly said and I gaped at him in shock.

I hesitated as I had never done something like that in my life. My face heated up in embarrassment while he stared intently at me. Why was I suddenly quiet and nervous?

"If you keep me waiting. I'm going to have to do it myself!" His voice was very rough.

The dirty stare he was giving me was enough to tell me that this man was indeed crazy. I started undoing the tie of the robe at once.

Raising my eyes to see his face, I watched him swallow hard at the sight of my body in the red dress. Never had a man looked at me with such fire.

Without a word, he rushed towards me, making my heart jump into my throat.
