AMBER.I turned around slowly, feeling the fear creeping up my spine. Adrenaline coursed through my body rapidly as the growl continued for a while but soon it stopped, and it was followed by a snort that also sounded non human. That was terrible, I thought, as I gazed straight ahead at the direction where the sound had juts come from. I wondered what that was and what Aiden had locked me up with. What was his reason for doing this, constantly tormenting me and sure sure I knew or felt no ounce of peace at all. This was one thing that I was slowly getting accustomed to each time but the only problem was that it got worse whenever he came up with a new punishment. It was always worse than the precious ones and I wondered why he did things that way. I was lost in my thoughts when I heard footsteps approaching again in the hallway. I grabbed the bars while looking out to see who it was, beg them to get me out of here, and at the same time looking back to make sure that whatever it was
AMBER."Suck it up! All of it!!"The words rang in my head as I came.back to consciousness. I tried to open my eyes but they were as heavy as lead. Somehow I knew that I was in a safe place but the words I heard before I woke up weren't being said here. My eyes continued to flutter even as I tried to open them but it wasn't just happening.I wondered what was happening and continued to try and thankfully, my eyes finally opened but my vision was still quite blurry. It seemed as though my whole body was trying to shut down. I could feel a numbing sensation creeping up my spine and shattering all around my body. I was soon staring around at a cold, sterile room, the harsh white light blinding me for a moment.My head throbbed with severe pain, and every muscle in my body ached like I had been beaten. My groin felt like it was on fire and my cuffs and ankles felt like they had been tied for so long. I tried to move, but the pain intensified, making me wince and stop.I groaned softly, my
AMBER."I am terribly sorry, miss. I can only imagine the things you've been through that will get you to make such a decision but it's against my vow. My job is to save lives, not end them." He said, looking down at me, shocked by my suggestion for a merciful death. I could almost hear Aiden's voice at the back of my mind as he promised me. "You'll beg for the gift of death. And eventually, I'll give you that gift." It was all coming to pass. It was all happening to me.The doctor's face had already fallen after he had told me he could do what I wished, his heart surely broke as he heard the desperation in my voice. That was all I wanted at that point. To end it all. Here and now so I wouldn't have to see Aiden again. Life had lost its meaning and there was no going back now. There was no such thing as restarting my life now. Because everything I wished for was long gone and in its place was a rather opposite of the good things life could ever give you. The doctor gently lowered h
I couldn't describe how I felt after punishing Amber that day. That was because I had never felt that way before, and it all felt quite strange when I began to feel that way. I didn't know what it was; it was akin to guilt and disgust. My heart was pounding furiously in my rib cage and my thoughts were so clouded with thoughts of all sorts. A part of me felt so bad for leaving her in that wretched condition but I tried to remind myself that she had brought it all upon herself by defying me and spewing insults at me. This was just the introductory antiphon to what she could get from my cruelty. I had even planned to do more for her. But I wondered why the feeling, despite trying to prove myself right, persisted and kept troubling me. I guessed I had been poisoned but I knew that I wasn't. The feeling was natural and I knew that I wasn’t sick also. I decided to get out of the dungeon immediately while ordering Ethan to be carried to a new dungeon immediately. But as I walked away, s
AIDEN. The feeling of guilt and all that didn't stop there, surprisingly. I decided to give myself to think about it and know if this was just some random feeling that would just disappear after some time. That night I had gone to sleep early even though it took some time before sleep finally came. For some time, I couldn't sleep. I was quite restless but after some time, I felt more and more weak until sleep finally took me for the night. The next day i woke up with a very tired groan and surprisingly, the feeling was still there. I groaned as I got up from the bed and rushed to the bathroom, noting the way my stomach seemed to start feeling a bit bad again. Like I had been punched in the gut. I lowered myself once I got to the bathroom but nothing happened. I couldn't comprehend what was going on. And I knew it wasn't any form of sickness at this point. I knew that something was just wrong with me.i didn't heave anything out, which was good. But the feeling of self loathing was s
AIDEN. Once they were done with putting her on the bed, nurses and doctors were called in immediately to attend to her. I stood at a corner, raking in everything that was going on. After some time I began to feel a bit uneasy again and I knew that I couldn't stay throughout the whole process. I left immediately, walking out of the door as soon as I knew they would be doing something substantial to keep her alive tonight. After After I quickly returned to my room with a very heavy look bug bug the same time I was happy that I had finally recovered from the pain that nearly had me heaving again and feeling sick over and over again. I was so surprised that I was now way better than I felt when I woke up this morning. The sun was starting to rise and the Pack was starting to get a bit active but I was too leaving the Packhouse anytime soon. I was thinking about spending g the morning right here in my room, alone and talking to nobody until I had recovered from the challenges I was fac
AIDEN.There was this feeling of anticipation bullying down deep inside me as I made my way towards the dungeons. It had been long since I had last checked on Amber. And I was very curious to know how she was faring. I wanted to know how she had changed after the changes that I had implemented by asking the guards to move her to a better cell. I knew that was going to change things and make her feel more comfortable but this morning I felt a bit uneasy, the nauseous sensation returned so I had to go check what was going on. I was guessing she was OK so I was worried why I was feeling the same thing I felt a month ago or thereabout. Perhaps it was happening for a different reason other than I was maltreating her. Those were the thoughts going going and out of my mind as I made my way down the passageway to the place where she was locked. But as I walked on through the dimly lit corridor, I noticed that something was wrong. I could sense that something was off but I couldn't quite put
AIDEN.I was getting more and more impatient as I stood there waiting for Caliste. I felt so pissed and the anger got even worse as time went on. I just couldn't piece together why she did that and now she was going to pay for what she had done. And this time around the guards were going to be around so they would know who to respect when I made decision or commanded them to do something. But i wasn't going to punish her alone, thr guards were also going to have their own fair share of thr punishment, something worse than what Calisté would face. And I was going to make sure they were strictly warned about what to do and what not to do. I hated it when things like this happened and if she wasn't my Fiancé, she would have been in jail by now, rotting away. I could hear footsteps approaching from the bend at the extreme of the hallway and guessed right away that it was Calisté and the guard I had sent to call her. Ans yes, it was her. The moment they appeared at the end of the wide h
