AMBER.Ziko, the blind guard from the dungeons, was led to the centre of the pack where I lay. Looking back at him, you could see that his face had contorted in some sort of animal rage that threatened to break him. He looked like someone who was going to go with me brutally and I knew he would. Even if he didn't, Aiden would force him to be brutal with whatever he was gkinf tk have Ziko do. Even the fear of Aiden alone was enough to make anyone do what he commanded so I expected one hell of a treatment from this new development. I had no idea who Ziko was but I had heard stories of my father taking off people's eyes as punishment, especially people from the Welney packs. This must have been one of them and I knew that from the look on his face. My heart was beating so fast as the guards carried me there. I wondered what he was going to do or what he had up his sleeve. I was so worried about what could be happening in the next ten minutes. Fear gripped me as I looked up at his face
AMBER.Aiden was the one who helped me off the whipping and the horrible treatment I was receiving. "That's enough, Ziko." He said with a silent expression on his face. Soon enough, the whole crowd dispersed, leaving me battered and broken on the ground. My whole body was still still from the impact of the beating and the battered punishment that I had been through the whole night. The guards took me back to the dungeons soon after, where I wept throughout the night. I was just heartbroken because of everything that was going on in my life. And the purr humiliation was something I was never going to forget for the rest of my life. It was just so harrowing and so painful that I couldn't get my mind off it. I felt like exploding and accusing parents or rather blaming them for everything but I just kept thinking that maybe it was all for the best. Maybe you would get out of this mess someday and it would teach me all I had to know about life. The pain was so unbearable and it just didn
AIDEN.There was no doubt that I was very happy with the happenings of the rest of the days. After what happened the previous day, I couldn't help but feel a sense of satisfaction. I remember every bit of it as I lay there on my bed. It was just one of the most satisfying moments I had ever had.It just opened my eyes to news things and new ways people should be punished rather than leaving them to be subjected to immediate death. I guessed that there should be a new way things should be done. I loved the fact that her own was slow and it was filled with every imaginable pain she was ever going to think of. I just relished every single moment of it and hoped that it would continue that way. The mere sight of seeing Amber broken and in pain had given me a perverse pleasure that I couldn't deny even till this moment about how good and how lovely it all felt. And I couldn't wait for her to do anything worse or say anything worse, because I would be dealing with her heavily when that ti
AIDEN. I didn't mind calling on the council to debate on this issue because at the end of the day, they would all have something to say and it wouldn't be done quickly. It ended up taking a lot of time which I didn't like. I guessed just signing it and getting it over with was the easy thing I could do at that moment. The next document was a report from the patrol unit in the Pack boundary, detailing the recent activities of rogues near our territory. They had always told me about that but I knew that they wouldn't dare to attack u less they were drunk. Nobody in their right minds dared to attack us. Anybody attacking us must have given up on life and was just looking for a way to end it. I wondered why the activities were increasing each day and what the rogues might be planning. But I didn't give it a thought. It was an insult to even think about or worry about rogues. The men reported that they were attacking some neighbouring Packs and they usually had some activity right out
AIDEN.After that I continued with my task, making sure that things were settled. I needed to make sure that a lot of tasks were taken care of and that things were finished in the end. I just couldn't stand there and sit idle without accomplishing a lot of tasks. And moreover, most of the paperwork needed to be done on that same day, so as to allow space for new ones. It wasn't an easy one, but it was a necessity. Once the two guards left the room and went to do what they had been asked to do, I immediately mindlinked some other guards to come to the room immediately. There was a lot of work to be done and once once was done signing and reading it was their job to take out the paperwork to whom it was concerned and give it to them or involve authorities to help solve the issue. I continued to delegate tasks to my guards, each one carrying out their duties with precision and obedience, and most importantly without any questioning. I prided myself on the loyalty and efficiency of my
AIDEN.A week had passed since the incident with Amber and things were already back to normal. There hadn't been any public punishment except for a beheading that had taken place two days after she had been punished brutally. I haven't gone to see how she was faring because I wanted her to rot there and go through pain before I went to see her again. I imagined she wouldn't be able to stand. I would go to see her to know what she looked like. I imagined her looking so haggard and so weathered when I would want to see her. But today I decided to go see her and know how she was doing. I had this feeling of anticipation bubbling inside me as I walked towards the dungeons from my office. As usual, I had been dealing with a lot of paperwork before even thinking about my office. I had a lot of things I had been working on alone so it wasn't surprising that things were happening this way. I had ordered that Amber be given food two days after she had been almost beaten to death and tended
AIDEN.Holding Celia's hands, I quickly walked with her down the passageway and down the passageway to the cell where the keeper had said she had been taken. I guessed taking her there was a part of my request to keep her comfortable in the meantime before I struck again. I wanted to make sure that she was constantly tossed between being comfortable and cursing pain. That was my plan to continue to toss her around until she was completely dealt with and utterly broken. That was my plan and I was going to make sure it came to fruition. As soon as we were getting there, I could smell her familiar scent. I knew she was there. And yes, I couldn’t wait to see her face after all this while. I wondered what she would look like or like or her reaction would be when she would see me. I wondered if she would throw herself at me and insult me or spew vile curses at me for what I had done to her. But I was ready for all of it. I loved it when she did so, because it meant more fun was on the way
AIDEN. If she had learned her lesson, then it seems she had learned directly pretty early and I didn't want that. I wanted some more fight. Something that would last for a while until I was sure that I was done with her. It was still so early for this kind of meek behaviour. She wasn't supposed to be this meek soon enough. I smirked at her, trying to hide my disappointment at her weakness. "Have you now known your place? Good. I'm glad to see that my methods are effective. Sooner jough you will be sent to the gallows, so sad but it has to be done. But before that I'm going to make you hate yourself." I said to myself silently as I stared at her aggressively. Why was all this happening? I wished things had gone just like I wanted it to. This wasn't supposed to be happening at all. A shook my head disappointedly before turning around to look at the vast expanse of nothing behind me. Celia leaned forward towards me with some sort of smile on her face. She seemed to have read my emot
THE GUARDS. That evening some of the guards left the cell to go and talk with Calisté and tell her everything that was going on. They needed to let her know the things that were going on immediately because if they didn't, she would end up not acting and Alpha Aiden would continue with his escapades. That evening two of the guards decided to take on the mission and go visit Caliste in jet chambers. The last time they had visited her, things didn't work out quite well but they were very determined to try again and see how things would turn out this time. They prepared themselves and talked about how they were going to speak to her so they could avoid doing or saying anything that would make her angry at them. They needed to be careful because she was like a time bomb that was waiting to explode and she had killed people people the past because of her anger. Besides, they were the ones who fed her with information on Aiden anytime he did anything that was suspecting. Os they weren't
The guards who were standing outside the cell were very shocked about the recent happening because they witnessed everything that had been happening ever since Alpha Aiden seemingly lost his mind. The worst they had witnessed was the Alpha having sex with the prisoner. It sent a shockwave among them all. They were very worried and had no idea what to do about it. They whispered amongst themselves as they heard them to each other that evening. "I keep wondering if you all can't see what has been going on here between the Alpha and ? The Alpha has clearly lost his mind and something needs to be done about it. He no longer regards us like he used to and he spends almost the whole time everyday with the slave girl!" The second guard nodded in approbation before he gave his own insights. "There is no doubt about it guys. She is already having a very dangerous influence on him and it keeps getting worse by the day." The third guard was the most terrified amongst them. He knew Amber could
AMBER. "I want to ask you a question." I began, unable to hold myself back any longer. I had tried to hold back the urge but it seemed impossible. The thought kept plaguing me and at last I finally asked him the question, unable to hide mask my feelings. We lay beside each other that evening, looking up at the ceiling. "Yeah, what is it you want to ask?" He asked me, his brows coming together as he asked me the question. "Alpha Aiden," I hesitated, my voice laced with a bit of anxiousness and a bit of curiosity. I stuttered for a while until he asked me to calm down and tell him what had been on my mind. I nodded and then began, hoping he wouldn't get mad at me for reminding me of the days when all he wanted was to see me dead. "Why did you try to turn me into a lycan that night? You remember right." He chuckled before asking me. "Is that all, is that all you wanna ask?" He questioned, flashing me a smile that made me uneasy deep down. I nodded and he replied. "Punishment or cou
AMBER. The next chain of events that followed was a very shocking one. And I couldn't hold myself back anymore. I couldn't control myself any longer, especially when I was around him and when I thought about him. But despite the whole caring i knew he was just doing everything to earn back my trust and break me again. I didn't fully trust him yet but there were times when I felt quite safe in his arms. I didn't understand what was going on but I was ready to play along until he did what he wanted. But I didn't give a damn who he was or whatever he wanted to do. My life was in his hands and he could do with it whatever he wanted, I knew that I would keep on trying everyday not to die. But despite that I was not worried by him any more. I just felt OK whenever he came to visit and ended up telling me stories to ease my mind off the boredom. I appreciated that but his mission was what I couldn't predict. He was full of cunning and he could do anything to get what he wanted. So this
AIDEN"Are you okay with it?" I asked her, looking back at her to see the way she seemed so shocked by everything that was going on. I knew she was overwhelmed by my actions. I couldn't help it. That was just the simple truth and I hoped she would get used to it soon enough. She shook her head and gave me a smile that said a lot. "I don't care if she's gone." I said. "Your presence is enough for me. And just to assure you my dear. Everything that is happening now isn't some sort of joke or peace to get you to believe me so I can deal with you very badly. I need you to trust me," I said to her, my voice a low purr as I gazed at Amber. She looked up at me and nodded slowly, looking very surprised by what I had just said to her. "Are you sure?" She asked, her voice barely above a whisper. "I promise you." I said before reclining back on her. Someone I couldn't move at all and she let me stay on her body. But I could still tell that her defiance had shifted to something else, something
CALISTÉ.I couldn't keep my cool any longer. I wished he would die right there. But sadly there was nothing I could do to retaliate, to show how angry I was by the stupid statements he was making right now. I wished I had the power to do something to him. "I am your future Luna, Aiden. I deserve an explanation for all this nonsense I am seeing and hearing. Have you lost your fucking mind?! What is the meaning of all this?!!" I yelled at him, still demanding an explanation but it seemed he wouldn't be giving me any. I felt so f*cking pissed by his behaviour. But he didn't even move. He looked so calm with the whole thing that was going on. The anger in his face was gone all of a sudden. "What you done to him, you witch!" I yelled at the witch sitting behind him, cowered and crawled in a corner like she was innocent, when she was a very big monster that was just looking for prey. Only heaves knew how much I despised her at this moment. I wished I could harm her. Unable to hold my
CALISTÉ.I was still reeling with anger and frustration because of what he had done to me, how he had humiliated me in front of his guards and he wasn't going to get away with it. I was going to make sure that Amber suffered horrible for that. This was just the beginning of my evil. I had already mapped out plans to deal with her and was on my way to the dungeon to give her a good taste of what Aiden had been doing to her before now that he had started acting strange. She needed to go through enough pain again so she would know that Aiden wouldn't be around to save her whenever I wanted to deal with her. Walking into the dungeons with rage and the burning desire to deal with her or everything I had been through, I walked towards her cell, ignoring the guards as they nodded at me in acknowledgement. I didn't care about their greetings or anything of that sort, all I cared about was making Amber suffer. Last night I barely slept because I was thinking about the best ways ways cause h
AMBER.The tension that had gripped me began to ease, and in its place was a feeling of surprise and perplexity at what happened next. I had expected him to punish me right after that or leave the cell, promising to have me punished or dealt with later on. But he didn't do any of that, and that left me quite shocked. What did this mean? But I reminded myself immediately that this was one of his tricks to lure me into thinking I was safe with him, when he was ready to deal and pounce on me like the beast he was or maybe order Ethan rough me up like last time. But his reaction to the whole thing had been very strange, considering what had happened previous times when we had had the mildest arguments. Perhaps he only got angry by insults. I was puzzled but I kept quiet, wondering how things would turn out soon enough. You never knew with people like him. Aiden squinted at the book upon seeing the title and for a while, he stared at the book without looking at anything else. He zoned ou
AMBER.Not complying would also be a very big problem so I decided to get my acts right and do what I had to do before he got angry again. I hesitated for a moment before complying, revealing the book I had clung to like a lifeline. And the moment he saw the book, he stared at it for a moment before he unlocked the cell door and walked inside. He walked towards me and lifted my sheets inky to reveal lots of books beneath it. His eyes lit the moment he saw them. My heart was beating very fast now and I didn't know what to do. What was I going to say now? I felt so worried about what he was going to do to me and what he could possibly do to Celia when I mentioned her name. F*ck! I cursed beneath, why was I always getting into trouble every time. But then I reminded myself that I wouldn't be getting into trouble if I had my own things and didn't have to beg anybody for theirs or accept what people suggested, just like in Celia's case. And looked at me sternly for some time, seemingly
