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
AMBER.Despite the horrific treatment that that had been through, Alpha Aiden stood there watching me crawl around the palace with my bleeding legs and there was no doubt about his eyes which were filled with utmost satisfaction that juts said it all about how happy he was about what he had done to me and he was pretty much going to see how much more he could go with me, and make me go through as much pain as possible. "That's enough," he finally commanded, and just immediately, the guards stopped and walked away from me, leaving me kneeling on the platform, my whole body filled with pain. That night, I was carried back to the Nightwalker Pack in chains while being locked up in a carriage. I felt like some beast getting sold. Once we got there, they dragged me out of the carriage and locked me in the dungeons once again. My body was covered in bruises and cuts, and my spirit was practically shattered because of the kind of horrible torture i had gone through back there and worse sti
AIDEN.I loved the way her eyes widened in realisation when she knew what I was going to do. Almost immediately, she began to fret, her whole body starting to shake as she crawled backwards, ignoring ignoring every eye contact with me. That wasn't going to help though, because I was determined to get what I wanted from her and nothing was going to stop me, not now, not ever. She knew exactly why I had dismissed everyone, and the fear in her eyes only fueled my excitement. That was the reason she had grown so concerned immediately and seeing the malicious look in my eyes didn't help matters. I was caking loudly, albeit mentally as I watched her scared. "Now, strip," I commanded, my voice cold and demanding. She looked like she was going to jump off the dungeon if she had a choice. That was because of the things she had gone through each time I had ordered her to strip. As I approached her. She looked away while trying to.put as much distance between us as possible. But the wall soon
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
