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
AIDEN.As I walked away from the cell, I was a bit excited. This game that we were playing was still far from being over and i knew so well that she was never going to submit yet even though she seemed to be very meek.The way she had called me evil told me that there was still some fire burning deep inside her and I knew that I had to extinguish every hit of fire till she couldn't even think.for herself. Until she lost her mind and she knew me as her one and true saviour. Then when that was done, her existence Would mean nothing to me and it would be left for me to decide what I wanted to do with her.It was that simple and until then, I was going to enjoy the ride so much. While walking back, u didn't utter a word because I had a lot on my mind. I was thinking about what my next plan was going to be. My next action was the only thing that occupied my mind and bothered me so much. I need something up my sleeve to do to her. Something that would bring her to full realisation that she
AIDEN..Still staring straight at her, I sighed dramatically while standing akimbo. " Look. I know this sounds weird but, yes I don't want any more trouble Amber. I have realised now that I maybe went too far, and I don't want to face any problems that might result from them and from me keeping you here, ok? I beg you not to tell Alpha Ethan what happened here. I promise you, you'll be free to go and live your life without any interference from me. That is a promise from me to you Amber and I'm serious. You know when I am serious, I don't joke with my words. So take it from me. I want you gone and i don't want you around here any longer." I said to her watching as my words were gradually sinking in. I knew I had got her the moment she took a moment to look back at me, with shock wreathed in her face. She looked like she was in a dream or something of that sort. I was slowly starting to convince her and I liked the way this was heading. It was going in the direction that I liked. And
AMBER. I took some time to reminisce over what had happened a few minutes ago. Was this some sort of sick joke, was this a dream, was this real? Those were the questions that kept running in and out of my mind as i thought about what had just happened between aiden and I. There was no denying the sudden shift in his behaviour from predatory to gentle, kind and meek had terrified me so much while we were there. I thought he was going to kill me. I thought he was going to pump me up with hope and tear my head off with one swipe because of the way he kept cornering dangerously at me. And the way his hunter eyes kept slanting down, focused immensely at me, I knew that something was on. I still found it hard to believe this was happening or that he was being truthful. I racked my brain, trying to think of anything that might have resulted in this that wasn't related to Ethan. If this was true and Ethan had given him some sort of ultimatum to bring me back or he would be killed, then t
AMBER.Once I was in the bed, they quickly took my clothes off until I was bare on the bed. I felt so exposed even though they were all women there. But it was for the better though. It had been quite a long time since I had gotten a treatment like this. So anything I got now, I enjoyed every bit of it because I had no idea when it would be taken for me. I reminded myself that I would soon be free from this place. But I wondered, was I just going to leave this place so easily. Wasn't there going to be a bit of power tussle by both Alpha's before I would be released. Kings weren't the type of people who would back down and bring down their ego easily. They were the kind who would do anything. So it was thinking that there was something lying below, something that he was hiding from me. I hoped that there wasn't something that he was keeping away. But if he could take care of me this way and even make a promise to me, then that was enough to debunk the conspiracies that I was harbouri
AMBER.As soon as I was done with the preparation, we set off for the journey the next morning. By then I was already sure that there was something wrong with the whole situation. I wondered how Ethan had been able to deal with Asher in such a way that he was able to have him begging for mercy and letting me go. There couldn't be any other way to revenge other than this. I knew so well that if Ethan already exerted that kind of power, then I was never going to let Aiden leave the Pack once we got there. I would make Ethan kill him or even lock him up so I could begin his own punishment for the atrocities he had commuted, for all the things he had done to me. I was so happy that this was all happening and for the fact that I hadn't expected any of it, that even made it feel even better. I just wanted to get done with all this and get to the Pack, I mused, smiling thoughtfully to myself. As we approached Alpha Ethan's pack, my heart pounded in my chest. I tried to appear calm, but the
