Nothing but a rogue.

Anastasia's POV.

"Get your filthy hands off me!" I bellowed at the guards that struggled to push me into the cell. Its not like I can't walk in on my own.

"Stay put, you piece of garbage!" One of them snarled back. They didn't even listen to me by letting me go. They dragged me with my chains into the cell and I couldn't help but fall down.

I groaned in pain of crashing into the stone filled ground but the guards didn't even bst an eyelid at me.

"The Alpha – your grandfather – has ordered us to make sure to deal with you mercilessly." The senior guard amongst the two said, a sickening grin spreadinv across his lips.

I didn't fail to notice the scorn in his tone, especially when he tried to remind me of my grandfather's hatred towards me.

"And trust me when I say I'd do that with full joy, especially when it's going to be my last time doing it before I move to my new position." He said again, bursting into a sick round of laughter, exposing his yellow teeth as a result.

Captain Shiro ... I know he has a personal hatred for me also even though I'm sure I have done nothing to deserve that.

He pointed to the chains I was bound in then at a dirty wooden chair that sat a few feets away from me, referring to the other guard next to him. In a swift, I was straightened up and bounded to the wooden chair.

My hands were tied behind my back and my legs were tied to the legs of the chair to keep me firmly rigid.

The same guard ripped a portion of my already short filthy dress, causing more of my eye-torturing thighs to get exposed. They had multiple deep cuts and numerous whip marks and they were all from the hands of the man before me.

I braced myself for what was coming. My gaze travelled to the only window in the cell, taking in the night sky from here.

WHIP!

The first lash of the thick rope landed on my exposed thigh and I could only flinch helplessly on the spot.

Captain Shiro raised his arm high above his head and brought the whip down unto me again. I glanced at him with the corner of my eye and caught the sickening grin on his face..

The lashes soon began to sting and from there, I began to feel the excruciating pain of my very own flesh peeling open. But all I could do was sit there and absorb the pain helplessly. Like I always do...

An hour or so later was when Captain Shiro chose to stop his assault on me. By now my thighs were filled with red marks and crimson liquid was gushing out of the several cuts and gashes on them, making it look like 

My eyes were now swollen from the immense tears that had flowed through them for the past hour.

Why? Why was this happening to me? Why should I be hated and tortured this much? Why?

I have always asked these questions but I know the answer would always remain the same.

"Ahh..." Captain Shiro released a deep sigh of deep satisfaction. He grabbed a goblet from the other guard and gulped down the contents.

"Whoo..." He howled delightedly, grinning at me again. I didn't hesitate to swerve my face away in a mixture of anger and disgust.

"What a day," he said and began to walk out of the filthy cell.

"Captain, what do you wish for me to do with her?" Asked the junior guard.

"Just bind her in those chains and drag her to the Alpha's office, I want him to see the good work I have done." replied the captain before stepping out of the cell.

The junior guard did as he was told, and in a few moments, I was been led out of the cell with chains tied around my wrists, neck and ankles.

I felt more like an animal than a slave I am called.

Along the way to the Alpha's office, several servants and maids that set their eyes on me would whisper among themselves and point fingers at me. I knew those acts weren't out of sympathy.

It was well known in the whole pack house how well I have always been maltreated and tortured, yet every single day of torture usually brings them down to genuine shock. Well, it was pretty simple, they didn't think anyone could handle such tortures as the ones I receive. But hey, here I am.

"Move faster, would you!" The junior guard barked and pulled the chain around my neck forcibly to force me to move faster.

I flinched as I was been dragged into the Alpha's office.

As soon as we entered, we met Captain Shiro already sitting across from my grandfather. They were both laughing heartily over some chatters.

Grandfather and Captain Shiro had always been close, at least closer than an Alpha and his guard should be. I usually wondered what made them so close and even the level of genuinety in their relationship.

"Oh, here it is, your highness." Captain Shiro immediately pointed out and stood to his feet. His usual grin was plastered unto his face and it's starting to make me feel sick. Or was it the fact that he'd just regarded me as a 'it'? No, it couldn't be, I am used to that already.

Grandfather raised his gaze at me, and he instantly wore an face ladened with frowns. This wasn't new to me though, so I just kept on a straight face.

Silence fell into the office and grandfather took in the view of his granddaughter. He laid his eyes on my bruised and battered thighs an I could swear I saw his lips curl up slightly.

Now facing Captain Shiro, he said, "You did well as always, Captain Shiro, well done." He complimented the middle aged man who grinned in response.

"That should teach you a lesson not too step across your boundaries again," grandfather said, now facing me again, "And if it doesn't, expect more punishments." He added.

"Get her out of my sight." In irritation, he ordered the guard who obliged.

As I limped towards the exit, I could see that Captain Shiro was also following behind.

'Today is the day he resumes his new post, right?' I mused as a sinister idea slowly crept into my mind.

I glanced at the small dagger that sat in the sheath on the junior guard's waist.

'Why don't I give him something that'll make him remember me for a long time?'

A smirk crept up my lips as I took one last glance at the dagger and at Captain Shiro's angle of position.

"Hey wha –" before the junior guard could react, I had leapt for his dagger, unsheathed it and I was now swerving around towards utterly confused Captain Shiro.

Before he could even raise his hand to create a defense, I was hurling the dagger at him and in a blink of an eye, sunken it deep into his fleshy right thigh.

"Ow!!!"

A toothy grin spread across my fave when I heard the very same werewolf who'd always maltreated me, screaming like an infant.

"You rogue thing!" Bellowed the junior guard as he hit the back of my head with something I don't know, knocking me down.

He ran towards the still screaming captain to tend to his injury. I was still staring at him wailing and gripping his thigh firmly, contended with my work.

"For Moon Gooddess' sake, that dagger was laced with mild wolfsbane, it'll take a while before he can heal!" The junior guard whined at me with a frown.

'Like I care.'

We were just outside the door of the Alpha's office and it wasn't a surprise when I saw grandfather rushing out from within. His mouth hung open and his widened like saucers as he glanced from Captain Shiro to the junior guard and to me.

"Wh – what –", before he could finish asking the question, the junior guard was already on his feet, narrating everything to him.

He was fuming afterwards, glaring his red eyes at me disdainfully. I knew right there I was in for a great punishment, but deep down I knew I loved what I had done.

"That's it, I'm selling you out! You won't be staying at my pack any longer!" Alpha Elihas declared, his face red like a tomato.

"Selling me out?"
