BRIELLE’S POV

Brielle smiled broadly, as she often did when she left Lord Darius's room every morning.

The recollections of the night before assailed her senses, and she clenched her thighs.

She couldn't stop thinking about her prolific sexual experiences as she passed maids and guards, greeting them goofily, and she wondered whether any of the servants could read her mind. She was perplexed since some of them were giving her odd stares.

Brielle's smile evaporated halfway down the corridor as she approached the stairs when she noticed a recognizable figure standing not far away from her, surrounded by some other ladies, most of whom were submissives.

Madeline. A shudder ran down her spine, and her stomach churned, but Brielle didn’t falter or pause. Instead, she continued walking.

As she approached, she could see that they were discussing something, and they were so absorbed in their conversation that they didn't notice her at first. Still squaring her shoulders high, Brielle proceed

    DARIUS POV "We have some information, Boss." Rocky announced as he entered the office and dropped some files on his table."What exactly do you mean? What information?" Darius asked, puzzled.His brows knitted as he tried to recall if he had requested Rocky and his men to carry any inquiry. The last attack had been a success, as they had effectively annihilated all the men who had laid hands on Brielle.

On the same day, his parents and Eve had been killed. Worse, some of the visions featured Brielle, and he always saw her in a pool of her blood, shrieking violently, and he was always attempting all that he could do to bring her back to life. He'd experienced innumerable nightmares since the first one

    MADELINE’S POV "Yes, come in." Madeline said absentmindedly as she knotted her hair into braids before her bedside mirror.The door creaked open, and as she swiveled around to face the intruder, her mouth dropped open in surprise. It was the guard she usually slept with."What the hell are you doing here?" Madeline roared, watching him gently close the door behind him before turning to face her, a mischievous grin on his face.He was expecting her to return his smile, but she didn’t. Instead, Madeline's lips curled up in disgust as she stared at him.He irritated her so much that if it hadn't been for the fact that she was using him, and he was also proving to be quite helpful, she would have dumped his silly ass since or made up a nasty lie that would have gotten him fired from the mansion."What are you doing here?" She asked again, staring him down, but he said nothing and extended a small sack bag to her."What's in there?" Madeline asked, grabbing the bag and opening it quickly.

    DARIUS POV "I think that would be all for now." Darius dismissed Rocky, who bowed and walked out of the office without saying anything else.Darius closed the files before him and discarded the ones he still needed to sort, leaving them for tomorrow. Standing up from his chair, he moved to his office's wine cabinet and grabbed a bottle. He was tired, and all he needed now was some alcohol to calm his nerves.He looked at his wristwatch, checking the time, and was shocked to see that it was only 7 pm. He had expected the time to be much late because he had been here since God knows when, but...His thoughts immediately returned to Brielle, noting that it had been four days since he'd seen her. He’d attended so many business meetings these past several days, checking on the activity in his city and catering to the requirements of the pack he headed, that whenever he returned or was finished, he would fall asleep in his office.When he spent the night in his office, the nightmares rare

Kneel and crawl to me.” The words spilling out of Lord Darius’s lips sent torrents of joy again down Brielle’s legs, and quickly, she proceeded to do just as he had instructed.The instant she entered the room, noting the dim lighting and the look on his face, she knew that today would be different. It wouldn’t be like the typical night they spent the last few weeks, and this time, she would fully display her role as his submissive. A sliver of fear and tremendous anticipation rushed through her as she envisioned him doing wicked things to her body.No matter how he used any device on her body, though, or spanked her ass with the whips she already saw lying out on the bed, he would treat her gently still, and that assurance she had in her thoughts was everything she needed.Shaking her head lightly, her hands moving to the ropes of her robe, Brielle loosened the knot. Then she dropped to her knees and crawled to meet him.“Good girl.” He mumbled,

And just like every morning, she expected his arms over her, snuggling tight and mumbling sweet words in her ear. But now, there was only silence — no soft whispering voices, no breathy sighs or caresses. There was no warmth, only space.A little confused, she opened her eyes and took stock of her surroundings. That’s when she noticed him across her, a safe distance away, fast asleep.What the... She exclaimed internally, scooting nearer as she tried to wrap her arms around him and rest her head on his broad, steady chest. What was he doing so far away from her?

Most of the submissives were envious that Brielle had usurped their place, and now, some of them were covertly sleeping with palace guards to alleviate their sexual deprivation.Madeline couldn't blame them because she was in the same shoes.

Excitement. Surprise. Yes. These words clearly defined the situation, but there was more going on. Something deeper. Something she couldn't quite put her finger on. Perhaps she didn't know what word to use, but it wasn't happiness. It was more than that. "My love. Mine, all mine..." Darius repeated in her ears as he twirled her around. After a few minutes, he dropped her back onto her feet.Brielle remained still for a moment, attempting to regain her breath. Her mind buzzed with so many different thoughts, and she felt dizzy and possibly lightheaded from all the dancing, but that didn't stop her from stretching her toes and kissing Darius on the cheek."How are you feeling?" Darius asked, and she replied. “I feel on top of the world. Or maybe I'm already flying through it; I have no idea

    A MONTH LATERDARIUS' POVThe banquet went better than Darius had anticipated.He had hoped for a low-key and personal ceremony in which he could deliver the glad news to his people and seal the everlasting union with his partner, but the event planners had other ideas. They'd gone over and aboard, and he surprisingly approved. Every area of the castle was artistically ornamented with gold and scarlet decorations. Everything was stunning, from the beautiful wall tapestries to the intricate floral arrangements, and the crystal chandelier glowed like a light in the hall's center. It was ethereal. Just like the woman for whom this entire charade was intended. Darius smiled as he continued to glance around. His gaze swept through the guests in the room, mingling, drinking, and speaking in groups. He also watched the servants rushing around carrying platters, refilling drinks, and doing almost anything to keep the party going. Finally, his wandering attention was interrupted by the mo

At least, that was what Brielle was thinking as she watched Darius dress in front of the mirror.Her lips watered as he flexed his muscles to remove the white shirt that hugged his body's curves.They had both healed, and all that remained were the scars. Though as memories converged in her head, she nearly let out a whimper. She’d gone through a lot, and damn! Anytime she remembered the whippings, electric shocks, cold water dousing, and even days she went without food, tears streamed down her cheeks. It wasn't easy to forget what had happened, but with Darius, it was becoming easier than she had expected. He was at her side throughout the recovery process, and she couldn't have asked for anything more. "Like what you see?" Darius smirked, interrupting Brielle's thoughts.He was looking at her through the mirror, and when their eyes met, her cheeks flushed. She looked away."Umm." She murmured and said n

    DARIUS POV Darius walked carefully down the corridor with his guards in tow. He’d woke up a few hours earlier, and all he could think about was seeing Brielle. The dream from the day before continued to torment him, keeping him half-awake all night. Now, all he wanted was to see and hug her tightly. Then he’d apologize for how he had neglected her—the anguish he'd caused her by not being present when she needed him most. And maybe she'd forgive him. But would she? The inexplicable torture she went through in Draken Havix's hands, as well as his irresponsible choice to send her out into the wild, was nothing short of horrific. It was unforgivable, and Brielle deserved much better. She deserved more than to be with a man like that. He was a coward and an idiot who couldn’t even admit that she had transformed him from who he used to be to a better person. But then, he was also a selfish fool, so he wouldn’t let her go. Not in this lifetime or the next. Regardless of these thought

It took a few more attempts before she could open them properly, and eventually, they slid wide enough for her to see where she was.Brielle had to squint a little until her eyes adjusted to the light, which was in stark contrast to what she was used to - dim lighting, quiet, and empty space. 'Where was she?' She frowned and pondered, 'How did she get here?'.She tried to push herself up into a sitting position but froze when a sharp pain shot through her skull again."Damn it." She muttered quietly, lifting a hand to her forehead, only to discover that it was attached to something, and she could not move it. "Fuck! Where am I?" She cursed aloud and, with her eyes roaming, began taking inventory of the room. And that's when she noticed it. The familiar curtains dangling from the windows. The dark red couches facing one another, and gold-plated side ta

She could also feel soft wisps of cool breeze on her skin, confirming that she was outside.She wasn't in that terrible cell anymore, being tortured by those evil men.But if she wasn't present, where was she? She remembered sprinting through the palace hallways, looking for a way out, but then...She slowly began to recollect what happened after that. Her memories were returning slowly. Brielle had planned to flee once the guards left, with the cell door open and the key having fallen out of their pocket by accident. She remembered scanning left and right to ensure she didn't knock into anyone. It seemed strange how empty the hallways were.She

    DARIUS POVDarius fought with all of his strength. He hit and punched, channeling his inner strength until Draken was a bloody mess.Earlier, when Draken had transformed into a wolf and leaped at him, Darius had been prepared for it. His fangs and claws had sharpened, and he’d transformed into his lycanthrope wolf form. He rarely shifted, but when he did, he wasted no time. As a Lycan, he would always be faster than his opponent and better equipped to catch his prey. So when the man attacked, Darius didn't even think about what he could do. His beast form had switched to autopilot, and its instincts took over. He'd scarcely noticed anything when he attacked. He only felt the pain of the punches and strikes, which weren't too severe because he wasn't on the receiving end of them. Draken, on the other hand, was severely beaten. His hairy face was matted with blood, and there were several large gashes all over his body. At this point, he wasn't even fighting back, just squirming and

One of them spoke, and despite her weakness, Brielle managed to stretch her ears enough to hear what they were saying. "Which is? Can someone fucking talk to me?" Another guard inquired, and the whip in his hand tumbled to the floor. It fell with a resounding thud, and the sound echoed off the cell walls.The air seemed to cool even more. The room was silent for a long time until one of the guards spoke up again. "Master Draken and Lord Darius are…"Brielle's heart sank when she heard Darius's name."Goodness gracious please, let nothing happen to him…" The words came out of her mouth unexpectedly, almost in prayer, and a stray tear streamed down her left cheek. The guards resumed discussing, but this time in quiet tones, as if frightened Brielle would hear them. It irritated her, and she wanted to yell. She wanted to question t

He'd arrived yesterday, and while she hadn't seen him, the rate at which her torture had risen was clear evidence of this. Her agonizing yells were intended to convey a message to Darius. Draken was using it as a tactic to demonstrate that he still had the upper hand and leverage. Brielle's heart wrenched painfully as she thought of the wicked older man who held her captive. A shiver ran down Brielle's spine as she remembered their talk from last night.He'd informed her that Darius still loved her, and despite her misery, she couldn't deny that his words had given her hope.
