AVERY“ Ha! Did you seriously believe you can come here and tell me that I should be more obedient? That we will spend a night together after what you did to me!? ” I scoff, a twisted smirk curling my lips.Aleister pulls his head out of my chest and stares at me. I search his blank gaze for any hint of pain but find none.Gritting my teeth, I twist the knife deep into his gut but get no response in reply. My hands tremble as the pain starts to spread in my side, slowly creeping towards my heart.I have never hurt someone like this before so it’s probably just panic. It has to be.I drag the knife up, slicing through his skin with ease, and finding the motion sickening. His blood splatters on my hands, a warm sensation I don’t find too pleasing.An agonizing burn spreads throughout my limbs, paralyzing me. Aleister shakes his head as if he is finding this too childish and then grabs my hand. Despite wanting to hurt him more, I find my hands frozen and everything in me hurting.What is
AVERY “ I don’t give a damn about what you want, Aleister Anasazi! ” I thrash violently. He pushes his thumb inside my folds, and my body instantly stiffens once more. I gasp, barely keeping myself together. “ If that’s true, why are you so fucking wet? ” He chuckles darkly. “ It’s m—my body’s natural reaction to my fated mate. ” I utter, ignoring how good it feels. This time, it’s his turn to freeze. It’s clear, for whatever reason, he doesn't want me to figure out we are true mates. Does he take me for an idiot? “ Or do you really believe I will want you after everything? I might as well stab myself to death before touching a disgusting…disgusting pig like you! ” I scoff in frustration. I want his thumb out of me before he drives me crazy and my primal instincts take over. To my surprise, the tactic works and he releases me with a harsh jerk. I push myself up and away from him in an instant, my back hitting the headboard of the bed to put distance between us. “ What did y
AVERYWhile sitting in the corner of the room, on the freezing floor, I stare at the blood that still stains the bed. I can’t pick up the disgusting scent as intensely as before. It’s like my senses are clogged.I touch the corner of my lips and wince before shaking my head. Silently, I pull my legs to my chest and wrap my arms around myself.It doesn’t take much brain to guess that whatever Aleister made me drink has suppressed my Lycan abilities. This is what he meant when he said he would fulfill my wish.It’s his attempt at stripping me of my pride as the Lycan Princess. By making me vulnerable, he thinks he can break me.How so very silly of him.It will take much more than this to make me regret even an ounce of what I said. He deserved everything he got and the things he will get in the future.My jaw clenches at the thought. What kind of man readily tortures their mate like he is doing to me? At least, I found out why Aleister wants to keep me caged in here. Just like any oth
AVERY That’s what powerful people do most of the time. …When someone threatens their power and position, they make sure this newcomer knows about their control. Shaking off those thoughts from my mind, I hurriedly take a bath and wear a chiffon light blue gown that goes well with my eyes. After I am done, I step out and find the girl still waiting for me beside the bed. “ Let me lead the way. ” She smiles, her eyes warming up with the gesture.I nod, following her out of the room. In the daylight, I can make out my surroundings. The interior looks ancient but expensive and polished. Every corner of this place gives off a dark vibe, as if I have stepped inside a creepy world that is entirely different from my world which consisted of an endless sea and a sky that was always stormy. But sometimes, there was sunlight that reflected in the waters. And on those days, I often found myself wishing for a life filled with freedom and happiness that was out of my reach. Back then, Tyson
AVERYMeeting the King is not so hard, after all. Here he is, sitting behind a desk, glaring me down as if he can’t wait to murder me.But why is he not acting on his thoughts? That’s an interesting question.“ Leister, it’s my fault. Don’t get angry at the Princess, please. ” Agrona approaches him and places her hand over his shoulder.My eyes twitch as I look at her and then at the man’s face. He doesn’t look anywhere near ready to push her away. Something twists inside my heart despite the hard front I am putting up. I swallow the unease and harden my stare.“ I didn’t know this would happen. I just thought if she is out, she will feel better. It’s not good that she was locked up. ” She whispers in a small, and weak voice.Aleister shifts his focus to her. I wait for him to flip her for letting me out without asking him first but what he says, only makes me frown.“ You shouldn’t have let her out, Agrona. She deserves to stay in that room and she doesn’t deserve your kindness. ”
AVERY“ I would love to hear your opinion that means shit to me. ” He retorts, picking up a black pen from in front of him.“ Why are you not doing anything to me? I have disrespected you more than anyone would have ever done before. And I hurt your woman…That Lovetta. I insulted Agrona as well, didn’t I? So many things are between us and you are still holding back your anger. ” I eye the documents he is signing, before looking at his emotionless face.“ You don’t seem to remember that you can’t use your Lycan abilities anymore. Isn’t that punishment enough for you? Without your wolf’s powers, you are as good as a human. ” He says, without looking up from the papers.“ That was impulsive of you, Aleister. ” I nod in understanding. “ Just like marking me was impulsive. ” His hand pauses, telling me that I hit the mark I was trying to search for. I smile, ready to take more chances.“ What? ” My voice drops to a whisper, “ Did you think I won’t guess this much? ”“ You are looking for
ALEISTER No one ever dared to disrespect me the way she does as if she is sure I won’t harm a hair on her head. Normally, I know I shouldn’t harm her but she makes me so mad. What did she say? She prefers a gutter over me and would like to lose her title as a Princess if she can just get away from me? That’s fucking gutsy of her. Who does she think she is? She has no importance in the South. If it’s not for me, she will be crushed mercilessly because she is the enemy and no one likes her. But she dares to say these things to me and then even hurt my people? Does she think I am dying to fuck her or what? She is delusional. I am not desperate and I don’t give a fuck if she dies right there. That will serve her right. I continue to read through the document that contains the terms of the peace agreement with the witches but my mind remains blank. No matter how many times I go over a line, I find myself unable to process the meaning of it. My heart is hurting worse than my head.
AVERY I can hear the waves crashing against the shore, loud and fierce. The cold seeps into my bones as my hollow eyes scan the surroundings. There has to be a way out of this even when a whole unforgiving ocean stands in front of me and the heavy footsteps from behind draw near. Thump, and thump, and thump. The noise only gets louder. Even the sound of the waves is not enough to drown the scary noise of death approaching on several feet. “ They won’t harm you, Avi. Go wait in the corner and don’t speak a word. ” The commanding voice is not deep or authoritative. It’s just a child—my brother. I look at him, fear gripping my bones and leaving me as hollow as my eyes. He stands at some distance, silently waiting for the approaching feet to come get him. This is not the way to go. I try to scream, but in that state, my lips remain sealed and my terrified gaze rests on his back. When those footsteps stop outside the door, my heart leaps to my throat and my trembling body rushes
