I am finally healthy enough to get out of bed. Most of my wounds are not painful now. All I need to do is to use some creams every day to reduce the ugly scars. When I finally have the chance to have lunch in the dining room, I see Maren talking to Sally. I have not seen Maren for a very long time and I almost forget her name. I go to greet Maren and Sally. “Maren, Sally, how are you? Long time no see.” Sally glances at me coldly and says nothing, while Maren looks up at me and answers coldly, “Fine.” I am really confused. Sally is cold but I do not care because she saved me last time. She is cold may be because of her character but why does Maren treat me this way? I have not blamed her for not visiting me when I was sick in bed. She must know that I was seriously injured but she has not visited me once.
I do not want to make this more embarrassing so I sit beside Maren and try to raise a topic, “Are you getting along well with yI walk through the long corridor with Sally. Sally does not seem to like talking with me, so I keep quiet all the way. Suddenly, I notice that someone is talking on the other side of the wall. Because Sally and I are too quiet, I can clearly hear their conversation on the other side of the wall.“I need to make as many friends as I can so we all have more of a chance to escape this place.” A girl is talking in a serious manner. Escape? Talking about escaping so loudly? Does she want to die? “You are thinking about escaping?” Another girl is asking in surprise. “Are you crazy?” The first girl is not afraid. “Why is it bad if I escape?” The girl seems too naïve. “Well, it is kind of hard to escape from here. There were many girls in the past who have tried to escape and they were always caught and beaten to death. It was really horrible!” The first girl seems not to believe.
All of a sudden, I hear steps behind me. I turn around and see Cody walking towards me bringing me out of all my thoughts. I see Cody staring at me and frowning at me as well. Then I realize the tears that are in my eyes have slipped out and are streaming down my face. He takes my hand in his and gently pulls me towards himself before turning towards Sally and nods to respond to her greeting. “Mr. Stark.” I wipe my tears away which makes Cody frown even more.Sally’s POVI was talking to Emelia, Cody’s human slave, in the corridor when I suddenly notice that Cody is getting close to us. I look up at Cody and see him staring intently at Emelia with concern plastered across his face. I am really surprised. He actually feel concerned? For a human slave? To say I am shocked will be a great understatement. Then for a fleeting second, I see an emotion that I have never seen or imagined that Cody could express. The emoti
Cody glances at me. “Sorry, Emelia, but I can not do that.” Cody says with a sigh. He puts the glass back to the table and turns around. “Why not?” I raise one eyebrow. “You are my slave.” His answer is simple and direct. Again.... every time Cody does not know how to answer, he will say you are my slave. I look at him and see him lie down onto the bed beside me. “What do you mean? I am your slave so I can not go home. Is this what you mean? Then do not make me your slave!” He refuses me as expected. “I am not doing that.” His attitude is firm.“OK. Why do you need me to be your slave?” I raise my head and ask with no fear. “Whatever the reason is should not concern you. You are only an object that should be chosen by me.” Object... Object...He always knows how to irritate me. I take a deep breath to calm myself down. I try to make it clear. “You said things about object
Betty’s POVAfter being framed by Emelia, I have to stay in bed all the time because of the pain through my body. I was severely punished after Emelia and her adulterer, Alger left. I wonder why there are so many men like Emelia. She is a total bitch. I wonder if Cody knows that Alger has a relationship with Emelia, will he kill Emelia? When thinking of Emelia being killed, I laugh so hard that my stomach hurt badly. I cover my stomach and begin to cry. Why am I suffering this?“Betty, are you OK?” I raise my head and see Bruce walking over to me. He is staring at me worriedly. He takes my hand in his hands and gently wipes my tears away. I look up at Bruce and notice the concern plastered across his face. Is he insane? In prison, I have cursed him like that. How can he worry about me as before? “Are you OK? Is there anything wrong? Tell me please. I will call the nurse for you.” I want to turn around and ignore him but he ke
Suddenly, I feel horrible. I do not know what the feeling is in my heart and why the weird feeling comes to me. I should only feel sad for Cody. How can I think about another guy? Who am I loving, Cody or Bruce? Am I actually loving anyone? But, should I love anyone? Cody is always impatient to me. He never pays attention to me. As for Bruce, he is good to me but I do not like him so he forced me into sex and made me his slave. So I said he was selfish.But talking about selfish, I am selfish too. I broke his heart just because I love another man who did not even look at me. But what I should do if I am not that selfish? Should I accept Bruce? If I accept him, will I be happy? If I give up a man I have love for years and turn to another man who has loved me for years, will I be happy? I am in a huge mess. Before I realize it, tears drop onto the pillow.I am crying! I am surprised by myself. Who am I crying for, Cody or Bruce, or myself?
One thing I like about staying with Laura is that she respects me and it seems that she does not consider me as a pathetic human slave. I pick a bag of chips and open it. It has been a while since I last time ate chips. The flavor of this chip is barbecue sauce. Maybe Laura likes barbecue sauce. It is pretty weird because I have never seen her eating barbecue. Actually, I rarely see her eating anything. It seems that she does not have a good appetite and does not like to eat. As for me, I like original flavored chips better. But I have no right to talk about my favorite here in the werewolves’ palace.“ Is it delicious?” Laura asks. I raise my head from the chips and see her under the golden sunshine. The sunshine from that window makes her look like a vulnerable angle who has lost her wings. She is indeed beautiful, so I am really confused why the Alpha treats her so cruelty. Although after I saved her last time, I have never seen her again
“I heard that werewolves would kill their human slaves after they found their mates...” I am about to say that since your master has not killed you, he has not found his mate yet before Maren interrupts me. “My master is kind. He does not want to kill me. Maybe he is still loving me.” I am speechless. How can he still love you after he finds his so-called mate? I think I can go now and I should go now. I should not waste my time on an unfamiliar silly heartbreaker. But Maren stands on my way and keeps crying.“ Emelia, he does not want to keep me as his slave...” Her voice is harsh but it only makes me impatient. “Of course he will not keep you as his slave. You have said that he has found his mate, right?” Hearing my words, Maren cries louder and louder. Her noise annoys me, but when I realize that we are the same and I will confront the same thing one day, I feel sorry for her.I soften m
I shiver. I dare not look him in the eye. “Cody, let me go!” Cody stares at me. “No, I am not letting you go this time, not until you tell me why you were crying.” He says in his deep husky voice. “Cody, please. Just leave me alone.” I want to get rid of Cody and stay in the room by myself. This is how I feel safe these months. I desperately try to pull away from him while still holding onto my towel so it will not fall off. “No. I have been leaving you alone for the past couple of months. I am not doing it anymore!” Cody growls out as he pushes me up against the bathroom wall.I am really afraid now. This scene reminds me of the torture I experienced when I first came here. He grabs both of my arms and pins them up above my head, holding them there with his right hand. “What... what are you going to do?” My voice is trembling. More terribly, my towel falls off me at that moment. I am embarrassed, so
Before I say anything, he slaps hard across my face. “Here is a little punishment for you.” He snarls at me as he begins ripping my clothes. “ No. No...” I know what he is going to do. Although I have been abandoned by Cody for no reason, I do not want to have sex with this kind of person. “ Do you know what I like best? I like humans’ screams, humans’ begging, humans’ tears. They make me excited! Do you know what I will do? I will destroy you and let Cody see what a werewolf should do.”At this moment, I feel desperate. Dillon is different from other werewolves who have bullied me. He has clear logic and he is determined. He knows what he wants and everything he does is for this final aim. For this kind of person, it is pretty difficult to persuade him into anything different from his logic.Dillon smirks at me as he pulls my clothes off of me, leaving me in only my bra and panties. "Pleas
“ From now on, you will not be my slave anymore. ” “ What?” When I first hear his words, I think I am daydreaming. When I finally notice how serious he looks, I know he is not kidding. “ What the hell are you talking about? Are you even awake? What happened? Why?” Cody stares at me calmly as if he wants me to know that he is not angry and these words are for real rather than meaningless cross words let out because of anger.“ Cody, what do you mean by ‘ I will not be your slave anymore’? Do you even know what you are talking about? Do you want me to go home?” Cody shakes his head. “ You cannot go home now. You may stay in his palace for sometime and then when it is safe, I will let you go.” I lower my head and think for a while. “ Is this because of Alger?” Cody shakes his head. “ I am not angry.” I gasp and say, “ So you just abandon me for no reason?”
I overestimate my ability to stand the pain. I rush to the bathroom with the new dress in my hands. I change into it quickly so that I can stop the scream in my mouth. Then I clean my face and my hands and walk back to Cody’s room. To be honest, I do not want to stay here, but I bet Cody will not let me go back to my room since I am injured.“Ah...” Suddenly, I let out a cry in pain. I was absent minded thinking about Cody’s reaction when I would say I wanted to go back to my room, so I did not notice that there was a little stair by the door to the bedroom. I tripped on the end of my dress, tumbling to the ground. The pain from the knees stimulates the pain in the back. It is so painful. Cody rushes towards me when he hears my scream. "Emelia! Are you OK?" Cody yells sounding concerned when he hears my cry. I raised my hand to look at him. It is too awkward to tell him the truth."I am fine," I reply back in a strained
I close my eyes in pain when Cody flips me over and picks me up off of our dryer. My cheeks are wet because of my tears of pain. I close my eyes to avoid looking at Cody’s face. “ Emelia... Why did you do that? Why did you come to him? Emelia!” Cody growls loudly as he hugs me to him. I open my eyes and see the look of horror in his eyes. He is worried about me. I close my eyes in tiredness and I hear Alger stand up to approach me. He seems to be worried about me too, but Cody orders him to leave. I open my eyes and see Alger’s back. There are only Cody and me now. I turn back to Cody and see the look of pain, regret, and guilt in his eyes.I frown. It is too painful. It has not been so painful for such a long time. He puts his hands under my legs and holds me up in a bridal style. I put all my weight on his arms in relief. At this moment, I rely on him. He holds me to his bed and sits beside me. “ Emelia, I...” I open my eyes wea
“ What are you doing?” I turn around and see Cody’s angry face. I quickly pull myself away from Alger and tremble subconsciously. Maybe because he tortured me, I still just tremble subconsciously every time he gets angry. “ I am asking you what the hell were you doing?” Cody growls at us angrily while rushing towards us. I raise my eyelids to glance at Cody secretly and keep silent. Alger answers instead of me, “ She hugged me.”“ She hugged you?” Although I am keeping my head low so I have not seen Cody’s face, I can expect how terrible his face looks. “ You are not allowed to hug him!” I can sense that Cody is shouting at me. I mustered up my courage and raised my head to look at him in the eye. “Why?” Cody yells at me hilariously, “ No why! It is against the rules!” I frown. “What rules? It is only a friendly hug. In what rules am I forbidden to hug a friend? Was
When we finally get to Cody’s room, I can not wait to ask Cody about Dillon. “ Cody, who is that man?” It seems that Cody has not heard me. He looks absent minded. “ Cody?” I call Cody again. He comes back to his senses and turns to me. “ He is my uncle.” I drag Cody to the sofa. “ I know he is your uncle. I heard you call him. I mean... He looks a little scary... I, I want to know more about him to protect myself.” I try to make myself sound reasonable.Cody sits down on the sofa and drinks the black tea after I hand it to him. “ He is my father’s cousin. His father is my dead grandfather’s nephew.” I nod. “ So you are not very close. That’s why I have not heard you talk about him or seen him in the palace very often.” Cody shakes his head. “ Although we are not very close in relation, he lives very near to the palace.” I purse my lips and listen carefu
“ You are so cute.” Before I even notice it, I have already said it out. When I notice that Cody glances at me awkwardly and then gets back to his senses in a minute, I know something will happen. Cody puts on an evil look now which is kind of making me feel nervous. He pins both my arms down with his right hand while he brings his left hand up to my chest. He is grinning mischieviously as he lowers his mouth and bites my neck gently causing me to gasp. Then he slides his hand into my shirt from the front and into my bra. He gives my boob a squeeze making me gasp loudly before pulling his hand out as if nothing has happened.He is chuckling in amusement as he pulls me into his side. He grins proudly as if he has accomplished some special achievements. On the way he drives me back to the palace, there is a small smirk on his face the whole time. Looking at the way beneath us getting father and father away from my home, I feel maybe it is good to be with C
I don’t know what to say now. I really feel hurt when Cody curses me like this. Although I know he did it because he has mistaken me, I still feel hurt. But this is not the right time for me to pretend to be a vulnerable little girl who cannot be illly cheated. I must find a way out and solve this. "Cody listen to me." I say grabbing his hand into mine. "I was not escaping. It wasn't my intention at all. And you really should not have killed that guy or curse me like this..." "Do not fucking tell me that I should not have killed him." Cody growls out and interrupts me."Fine, Cody. But do you want to listen to my explanation for getting out of the car?” Cody nods hesitantly. “The reason I got out of your car was because there was a little girl who was crying. She was all alone and I got out of the car to see if she was ok.” “ A little girl?” Cody frowns. “ Yes. She told me her mom died and she said she couldn't stand to see
Suddenly I hear someone sigh. Before I wonder if I made it wrong, to my surprise, Cody lies down on the ground, nuzzling my legs as if to say he is not going to hurt me and asks me to relax. I hesitate and finally squat beside him. I run my fingers through his soft fur and he let s out a small growl in approval. I remember him doing the same thing when I run my fingers through his hair so I guess he really enjoys that.All of a sudden, maybe he is enough with the massaging, he backs away from me and shifts back into his human form. I thought I would be scared but instead, I feel shy. I quickly look away because he is completely naked. Although I have seen him naked for several times, but this time, he is naked under the sun. He looks absolutely irresistible with the light sheen of sweat on his tan skin glistening in the sunlight. He looks like an angle. His clothes has been ripped because he did not bother taking it off when he shifted. I hesitate and take off my co
