I hesitated before reluctantly dragging my feet into his room. Once inside, he shut the door.I stood still close to the door. I was alone with the monster, alone with the rumored cruel beast."Remove your clothes!" His words cut across my thoughts, bringing me back to reality. My eyes widened as I clutched tightly onto my clothes, shaking my head in fright.He advanced toward me in anger, and I took shaky steps backward. Instincts kicked in—run! I spun around, heading for the door, but he was too fast. He grabbed my clothes and flung me across the room."Where do you think you'd run to?" he took steady steps toward me, wearing a smirk that surprised me."Please don't hurt me," I cried when he stood a few steps in front of me."Who said anything about hurting you, my dear? As long as you stay a good girl, I can assure you no harm will come to you," he smiled wickedly before lowering himself until he was at eye level with me. "Only disobedient people face the consequences."He straightened himself. "Now get up and remove your clothes!" Cold shivers ran through my entire body. I immediately got up, almost tripping on my own foot, still clutching tightly onto my clothes.The look in his eyes was terrifying, but I wasn't ready to give in just yet. I wasn't ready to be devoured by this beast. My fighter instinct kicked in.He growled in anger, yanking my clothes off my body, scratching me with his claws, and drawing blood. He stared at his claws, then sucked the blood off them. My mouth gaped open, and he grinned at me."Your blood tastes nice. Don't make me do that again. If I do, I'll be taking more than your blood." His words turned my blood to ice. His green eyes were enveloped with darkness. I could tell he wasn't mincing words; he meant every single thing he said.He seized me by the hand and tossed me onto the bed. I could do nothing but lie beneath him in fright as he had his way with me. It was a mix of pain and pleasure.My eyes burned, but I promised myself I wouldn't cry. I had to be resilient. I couldn't believe I lost my innocence to a cruel beast who cared nothing about me.I recalled Gia's words. That girl had died after being with him. She was his only sex slave, and that's what I have become. My heart pounded loudly in my chest.As soon as he was done, he rolled to the side and covered himself with the blanket."Get out!" I jolted up from the bed immediately at his command, covering my body with my torn clothes. I could feel my wolf, Elsa sobbing inside. She must be very hurt. Who wouldn't be after being treated that way by none other than your supposed mate?"I hate him, I hate him so much," Elsa sobbed. My heart went out to her."Don't worry, be strong. We will definitely find our way out of this," I consoled her. The head maid awaited me at the end of the hallway, as if she knew I wouldn't take long in the king's chambers.She guided me to what was supposed to be my room and closed the door after pushing me in. There were five other girls inside; they were already asleep, except for one, a girl I recognized immediately."Gia!" I whispered as I hurried to her and hugged her tightly. My body racked with sobs; I finally let out all the tears and pain I had been suppressing for a while.She held onto me, her embrace offering the comfort I needed after what I had just gone through. "What happened? Did he hit you?" she whispered as soon as she released me, her eyes searching my face and body."He did more than hit me; he raped me!" She shut her eyes and gritted her teeth. "That cruel beast!"I tightly held onto her hand, glancing at the girls lying on the small flat bed to ensure they were still sleeping. I averted my gaze back to her and whispered."I need to escape! I can't continue staying here." Her eyes widened as she looked intently at me."No one has ever succeeded in escaping, Athena. The few who tried in the past were killed on the spot of capture; it's too risky."I drew in a deep breath. "I will find a way; I will escape from here, even if I die trying."After a few minutes, Gia whispered to me, "I will go with you, and we will carefully plan our escape to avoid being caught." She held onto my hand with her cold hands. "Promise me you won't make any rash decisions and try to escape before our plan is perfected.""I promise I…"I hadn't finished my statement when the door swung open abruptly, revealing a huge dark figure. We froze.The man immediately flicked on the light switch, and the room glowed with white light from the fluorescent light, causing Gia and me to squint our eyes."What's the whispering about?" he snapped, glaring down at us with fiery eyes.I looked at Gia, who wasn't in the least afraid. She probably knew who this man was even without having to see his face."We are sorry about that, sir. We were only getting ready to sleep," she replied."Go to bed immediately!" He turned off the light and shut the door behind him. Gia told me in a whispering tone that he was the chief guard on night duty, going around the palace to make sure everything was okay. He did that every night. I couldn't sleep that night, only one thought consumed my mind.My escape!How I was going to do it was still a mystery to me, but one thing was sure, I would escape from this hellhole or die while trying.

Athena's POV Two months have already passed, Gia and I still haven't been able to escape. We have been carefully plotting our escape, observing the patterns of the guards, noticing they had specific routes and timings. We had even begun to study them meticulously and had learned how to pick locks. We also observed the palace layout, memorizing secret passages and potential hiding spots. Tonight was finally going to be our night of escape; everything had been put in place. The palace was not a safe place for young ladies like us. I was the only one treated a little bit differently from the other girls because I was the king's sex slave. I was fed quite well and was not really overworked like the other slaves. Alpha Sebastian had his way with me every single night. The trauma I had to face each time I lay with him caused me to cry myself to sleep every night. To make matters worse, I was carrying his child. I noticed I had missed my period last month, and this month too it didn't c

AthenaI opened my eyes as soon as the man who carried me on his shoulder stopped moving. Squinting to adjust to the bright light in the hall, I realized we must have arrived at our destination. The man who held me on his back carefully placed me on the floor. As soon as my feet hit the ground, I sat upright, taking in the beauty of the magnificent hall we had just entered.Then, I felt his ocean blue eyes on me—the man who had saved me. Meeting his gaze, there was something about him, something I couldn't quite place my hand on. He was shrouded in mystery, very unreadable. His stare carved a hot path down the front of my chest. I shouldn't be feeling this way; I knew I shouldn't."Get a hold of yourself, Athena," I muttered inwardly. Despite his resemblance to a Greek god, there was no telling if he was any different from the beast of my recent past in the form of Sebastian. The mere thought of him and the way he forcefully violated my body every night for his pleasure made me shudde

~ RichardI couldn't get the thought of the fair lady out of my head. Her pleas kept replaying in my mind like a horrible symphony I desperately wanted to get rid of.I wondered just who exactly she was, who she was running from, and how she had ended up in the bush. I narrowed my eyes as a frown creased my face. How could a girl dressed in tattered clothes, looking no more than a slave, have such a great hold on me?I had been in the bush, close to our territories with James, my beta, hunting late at night when I caught a scent. It was too strong; I had to follow it to its source.That was when I saw her!A fair lady in rags, lying helpless on the floor; she smelled of a mix of Lavender and Vanilla. My wolf jumped at the sight, an act that infuriated me. I immediately suppressed whatever feeling was forming within me and focused on the wolves before me. It was obvious she was in danger and needed saving.I was infuriated at her pursuers, the nerve of them to dare try to invade my ter

~AthenaI felt so downcast and dejected. I believed it would be better to leave this world for the one beyond, where there would be no hurt or pain, where I could finally see Gia again. The thought of seeing her brought a faint smile to my lips. Maybe, just maybe, I might even see my father there. I pray he recognizes me.I would tell him all that I went through at the hands of this cruel world, and he would console me, assuring me that I was finally in a peaceful land far from the wickedness and cruelty that marked this world.I rose to my feet and weakly covered the distance between the broken glass and I. As soon as I wielded it in my shivering hand, I brought it close to my wrist. I couldn't bear to watch. Gritting my teeth to endure the pain, I slit my wrist. I slowly became lightheaded, falling to the ground with a thud as I watched blood trickle down from my wrist. I smiled painfully; it was finally over.Just as my eyes were about to shut, I saw a tall, beautiful man with thi

~ Sebastian I had just returned from conducting a ritual at the lake with my beta, Kain, and some of my guards when I noticed how different the atmosphere in my mansion was. It began upon my entrance; I noticed how frightened the two guards outside the iron gate were. It wasn't unusual; in fact, I have gotten used to being feared and revered. That is the way it is supposed to be, but today, I could smell their fear. It was very palpable in the air."Good evening, Alpha," they stuttered. I scrutinized them without saying a word and proceeded in, wondering what could be wrong. Maybe nothing was wrong; perhaps it was just me having an unnecessary inkling.Once inside, it became clear that my instincts were right. From he way the members of staff scampered away from afar upon sighting me, as if the grim reaper had come to claim their lives. Well, I could be that, but no life would be claimed unless it is well deserved, to the way the ones unable to run froze in fright, with their heads

~ AthenaI was startled; my mouth gaped open, intending to utter some words, but no words came. I could feel a large, unsettling lump in my throat."Uhmmm, nothing, your Majesty," I finally replied to his question, shaking my head vigorously as I watched him.He could sense my fear; I knew he could. I didn't know if it was that or the fact that he was already weary of me that made him step back, tilting his head slightly to issue James a command."Take her to the chief maid, ask her to get her cleaned up and well-fed, then bring her to my office," he turned towards me, assessing me with his ocean blue eyes, "we need to know everything about her before deciding."With that, he turned and left. Before deciding? I guess he probably meant deciding what to do with me. I felt my heart constrict with pain as I wondered what the fate of a helpless Omega would be."Well, can you walk, or do I have to carry you?" James uttered, startling me, pulling me from my thoughts."I…I am fine; I can wal

~RichardThe door to my office swung open after a light tap. I knew it had to be James. It had only been a few minutes since he left to fetch the fair lady.I lifted my face and swallowed at the sight of her. If I had thought she was beautiful previously, she was drop-dead gorgeous now with little effort. Her scent hit my nose, the same Lavender mixed with Vanilla scent. I felt something stir within me. I knew it was my wolf feeling excited; I could feel my hard-on bulging in my pants.James cleared his throat, snapping me out of my reverie. I realized I had been staring for too long, and he had caught on; that infuriated me a bit, the effect this strange woman had on me. Thankfully she had not noticed me staring lustfully at her as her eyes were everywhere else but at me."You're here, nice, now let's get down to business!" I said, my blue eyes locking onto her big brown ones as I ignored the way my body reacted to her. I wanted to stand, but I couldn't, not when I had a boner."Are

~ Athena I felt really relieved upon discovering that His Majesty was not just a mere werewolf as I had thought, but a Lycan king.A Lycan King!Who better to protect me from the cruel Alpha Sebastian than him? My heart almost exploded with immense joy. I was free. I was finally free! I would make sure to do everything he asks. I would gladly be a slave, wash dishes, cook food, do just anything to make myself useful in the Lycan pack.I looked at James and then at the tall, slender beautiful woman with thick black long hair and dark eyes whom His Majesty had called Jessica. They were Lycans too? Wow! I was truly in a Lycan pack, no one can get me now.I extended my hand to Jessica and closed my eyes as she had asked me to.I felt her try to penetrate my thoughts. I let her in but without giving her access to everything. I only allowed her to see what I wanted her to see. I didn't know how I was able to do that.After she asked who I was and I told her, her next question took me to

The gardens were filled with people from the resettlement area while the king, his dignitaries, and elders were in the great hall dining. There was plenty of food and drinks for everyone.It has been one month since I gave birth to my three little warriors. On the day i gave birth to them, my life changed completely. I felt a kind of inner peace that I had never felt before as they were laid beside me on the bed. All the pain I experienced while birthing them suddenly disappeared and was replaced with an unspeakable kind of joy.I had thought I was going to have just one kid. Throughout my pregnancy, I never went for an antenatal checkup even though Richard had suggested it a few times. I was very healthy and strong, so I didn't feel the need to go…maybe if I had, the doctor would have found out I was going to have triplets.My father and stepmother arrived a day after hearing the news, and my stepmother

~RichardSitting at the head of the dining table, I looked to my right and left at the two most important people to me in the world... One was heavily pregnant, looking like she was about to pop any minute, and the other was infectiously cheerful tonight because he had made a bold move, disregarding his fears, and it paid off big time.A few months ago, per my advice, James had told Nuella about his strong feelings for her. To his utter shock, she had revealed she fell head over heels for him from the first moment she set eyes on him in that dungeon. Their relationship blossomed quickly. I saw my best friend become the best version of himself. Nuella completely changed him and made him so much happier than I had seen him in years. I was eternally grateful to her. Fast forward months down the line, James told me he was finally ready to make that big move. I was so happy for him, and here we are now.He asked her to marry him, and she accepted his proposal.

~AthenaIt was a Monday morning. Richard drove me to the hospital after I complained about being sick. He left me in the care of the doctor as he had an important errand to run with James."I will be back in two hours, love," he said as he kissed my forehead.After he left, the doctor asked me what exactly was wrong with me, and I told him the symptoms I had been having for the past few days. I had kept them to myself as I didn't want to trouble Richard or anyone else. Today was quite different, unfortunately. I felt very lightheaded and weak and was unable to get out of bed until Richard came to my rescue and insisted on taking me to the hospital himself.The doctor took a sample of my blood and left.After a few minutes, he came back, a bubbly smile stretching his lips.I sat upright on the bed where I was resting, wondering why he was looking happy."Queen Athena, I bring you good news," he said cheerfully.

~RichardThe effects of the war have taken their toll on my kingdom these past few weeks. It will really take a long time to get over all that has happened, all because one silly man thought it was wise to avenge the death of his wicked, soulless brother.All the men who surrendered during the war have been put to good use rebuilding my pack, which they helped destroy. They have been allotted different duties in the pack. Some were sent to farms to become laborers and help the people in rural areas till the lands, plant crops, and harvest them. Others were sent to labor in building infrastructures, some of which were destroyed during their attacks with explosives, and so on.As for Alpha Gerald, after keeping him locked up for a week, I set him free, along with his men. He cried in appreciation, and we signed a peace treaty to seal the fact that we had now become allies.Today was the day of the scheduled meeting with the elders, and I still had no clue what they wanted to discuss, a

You will love her," my father had said.She was supposed to be my stepmother, but I was feeling quite nervous about seeing her.It has already been two weeks since the war was fought. Nothing is the same anymore. There is great grief all over the pack, in the resettlement area, and even in the mansion. Scores of people had lost their lives. I heard Richard and James discussing the other day, and they mentioned that the death toll had risen to 600 as bodies were still being found in different places. The only good thing about this fight was the fact that more people from the enemy pack had died. For every one lycan that was killed, four werewolves were killed too. So the ratio was 1:4, wh

If only my mother were alive to witness this moment, then my joy would be complete.It seemed as though the war had come to an end. Everywhere was a bit too serene. I didn't ask any questions on our way home as I was too tired to do so.When we got to the mansion, I was surprised to see a whole lot of people in front of it. They were scattered everywhere, sitting on grass and from the way they were being loomed over by some men wielding guns, I just knew they had to be from our enemy pack. We were about to make our way inside when three men from the crowd spoke one after the other.They were begging Richard to set them free. When the first had spoken, I felt a familiar dread curl up at the pit of my stomach. I brushed it off. No way! It just can't be.The second person spoke, and I still brushed it off.

I told her to stay there until I come," Alpha Kendrick bellowed in denial as he got to his knees, peering into the cave."Athena!" he screamed, his voice laced with pain. I could imagine how he felt as a father, and that was because I felt even worse. I didn't want to give in to my fears, though."Athena is safe, wherever she is," I internalized, trying to be positive.I checked the ground for fresh footprints that might belong to her, footprints I could trail to her new location, but I didn't find any."Athena!" Alpha Kendrick called out in shock. I immediately spun around."Come to me, my child," he added, extending his hands.With my heart in my mouth, I rushed towards him and went on my knees, peering into the small cave.There she was!She looked so frail as she staggered.

Her death was especially painful because she had just made peace with her daughter, and they both needed time to create long-lasting, happy bonds. The moon goddess should have allowed her some more time, for Athena's sake! I sighed.I was looking out the window as we drove through the woods when my eyes suddenly latched onto something…someone…No! It can't be!I ordered the driver to stop the car, which he immediately did."Richard, what's the problem?" James asked, and I ignored him, rushing out of the car and towards the body lying on the ground, my heart racing rapidly.It was her! It was Jessica!"Fuck!!!" I screamed into the air, raking my hand through my hair in frustration as I sank to my knees, clamping my hand over my mouth as my body surged with emotion and pain, finding expression through the hot tears streaming down my face.I hardly ever cried, but for some reason, I couldn't help but do so at the go

~KendrickI was almost at the territory of the Black Knight pack when I got a call from Alpha Scott. My heart had been very heavy since receiving the second call from Athena informing me of her mother's death.All through the night, I had relived the years we shared, recalling pleasant memories from our past that I haven't seemed to let go of after several years. She was the first woman I ever truly loved, and I have never loved any woman as much as I loved her. Now she was gone. She didn't deserve to die.I answered the call from Alpha Scott and found out that King Richard was there with him. From his questions, I realized that he didn't know anything about Athena's whereabouts nor what had happened there.I told him I had some bad news, and his first inquiry, as expected, was about his wife. He wanted to know if she was okay.I paused, trying to find the best way possible to break the news about Rebecca's death to him."Alpha Frederick! Are you there?" he called out at my silence.
