Chapter 3

"It's just a warning Leon, you might wield supreme authority and claim to be king but that throne is vacant!"

"I have a bride now, what else are the requirements? Should I walk on the moon to claim the throne!" Leon snapped at the witch goddess who had come to tell him to claim the throne before he loses the powers connected to the throne.

"Quit being rude and listen, you don't only need a bride but an heir. Having a bride is good but bringing an heir is better, you only have thirty days to announce that your Luna is pregnant for the process to continue. You've suffered a great deal for the throne, don't let your hatred over something consume you."

He sighed and ruffled his hair in frustration.

"Fine, I've heard."

"By the way, where is your Bride?"

"She's in the dung…uhhmm…she's with the maids taking her bath "

The goddess looked at her suspiciously and shook her head.

"I'll see her at the wedding tomorrow then."

He nodded and blew a breath, there was no way he would tell her that he sent her to the dungeon site.

She will go on rampage and table endlessly, explaining why her efforts of raising him were in vain.

He went to the site by himself and got so irritated to see that she was only given menial jobs to do when there are hundreds of hard jobs to do.

"Lilith!" He called and she bent over and bowed slightly.

"Why did your parents have to give you such an irritating name? Leave that place immediately and follow me!"

He slammed.

"The Chief maid promised to kill me if I don't finish what she gave me."

He gasped and slapped her and she fell down in shock.

"Are you insinuating that her orders are more important than mine?"

"I'm only saying what she said, she said it was your orders that I finish cutting the stick or I face the consequences!" She sighed and wiped the blood in her mouth

"Imagine this dirty werewolf! Calista!!" He yelled and she ran over.

"Did you in any way ask her to disobey me?"

"Never!" She gasped and bowed.

"Then how dare you lie, you have barely entered my pack and you're spreading your germs everywhere! How dare you!" He growled and Lilith flinched.

"Follow me, now!" He yelled and felt so irritated that she's just being mute.

The fact that her scent was somewhat familiar and that she's a werewolf made him want to puke in disgust.

He led her to a construction site and she gasped at the level of work being done there.

Her head was still in pain and her stomach hadn't stopped rumbling.

"Get your pan and work immediately!"

"Why?"

Lilith asked, getting annoyed at the whole treatment already.

The maid slapped her already bruised lips in anger and her mouth was now filled with blood.

"Have some respect while addressing the king."

"I only asked a question, why are you all treating me this way when I've barely stepped my foot in here, Just why!" She cried in pain and Leon scoffed at her boldness.

"Are you looking for a death wish or something? I said straight to work!"

He slammed at her and left as she flinched, suppressing her as she carelessly went over to the site but ran over someone that was carrying a pan full of muddy dirt and everything splashed on her body.

The lady got enraged and slammed the iron pan at her back, yelling at her for being so clumsy.

"She is the king's bride to be Laura, tone your anger down." One of them said and she glared at Lilith whose body was in pain from the mighty hit she received.

"And so what?" Isn't she supposed to be in his chambers as the wife she portrays rather than slacking around? That was fiftieth pan, I was almost done!"

"She's a werewolf Laura, how do you expect her to stay near him, she would die before stepping an inch." They all bursted out in laughter and Lilith gritted teeth and stood up in pain.

She ignored them and saw an empty pan to start working whether she would be spared at least after trying, she ignored the pains shooting in her body and went to fetch mud when someone walked up to her and slapped her hard.

"How dare you touch my property?" 

"I didn't know it was yours." Tears dropped down her eyes at the impact of such a painful slap.

"Now that you know, can you fuck off?"

She cried her heart out in pain and sniffed, if she was going to be in the Lion's den, acting like a dove won't solve the problem.

She walked out on them and traced her way to the King's chambers.

She bounced his door open and the shock that washed his face was dreadful.

"What do you want?" She blurted out.

"Are you…oh my gosh!! Look at the audacity!" He yelled and stood up.

"Alpha Leon, I said what do you want from me? Am I going to be a workaholic maid or your bride?"

"I decide that alone!"

"I've done nothing wrong but come here willingly just in exchange of a cure, I don't want this life so if you won't tell me what you want just tell me and I'll leave!"

Leon bit his lips to her at the audacity that she possesses and the boldness to even look at him in the face when no one has done that.

He carried his alcohol drink by the table stand and walked forward to meet her.

"You want to leave?" He chuckled and opened the cover of the drink.

"Listen to me young Lady, you're my property, my Luna and a breeder!"

He emptied the contents of the alcohol on her body which sent severe hot burns to her wounds and she screamed in pain and rolled away from him.

He went over and bent down to meet her.

"I decide whatever I want to do with you Lilith, and I won't hesitate to break those legs of yours for barging into my room to insult me. I'm your King and I expect you to bow down when I speak!"

Lilith cried and slowly removed her slippers beneath her with her head bowed to the ground.

She yelled and slammed the slippers so hard on his cheeks that he fell in shock, not expecting that.

"I don't care who you are Leon, but it's either you Kill me or I'll fight to survive!"
