ELAINE'S POV. I took a deep breath and wiped away my tears, still shaken by the memories of the whipping. "Savio," I said, my voice quivering. "How could you work for someone like Atlas? He's so heartless and cruel, how could you possibly defend him?"Savio's expression grew serious, and for a moment, I thought he might lash out at me. But instead, he just shook his head and sighed. "Elaine, you don't understand. Atlas is my alpha. I have sworn my loyalty to him, and I will always serve him, no matter what."I couldn't believe what I was hearing. "But he ordered his men to whip me," I said, my voice rising with each word. "How can you defend someone like that?"Savio's eyes hardened, and I could see the alpha in him come to the surface. "Watch your tongue, Elaine," he warned. "You may be in my room, but you're still in his territory. You never know who might be listening."I felt myself start to shrink back, closing up again. I had almost forgotten where I was and who I was with. Sav
Nyx'S POV. I lay on the cold, hard ground of my cell, staring blankly at the dimly lit ceiling. My body was bruised and battered from the countless times I was whipped by Atlas's men. My heart ached with regret and sorrow. How had my life come to this? How had I become a prisoner, trapped in this cruel world ruled by an alpha who had no regard for life?As I lay there, I started to rethink my entire life. All the choices I had made, all the people I had hurt. The thought of how I had lied to Elaine, my only friend in this hellhole, made my stomach churn with guilt. How could I have been so selfish? I should have told her the truth from the beginning.Tears streamed down my face as I thought of all the things I could have done differently. I could have fought harder to stay with my pack, I could have stood up to Atlas and his cruel ways. But it was too late now. I was trapped, alone and broken.Tears streamed down my face as I thought of all the things I could have done differently. I
ATLAS'S POV.I lay in bed, staring at the ceiling, unable to find peace in my thoughts. Sleep eluded me as my mind kept drifting back to her, Nyx. Her image played like a movie in my head, and I could feel her scent everywhere, even in my own room. The memory of the passionate night we shared, the way her body moved under my touch, the way she moaned my name, all of it was etched in my mind like a tattoo.But I couldn't deny the truth anymore. I had developed strong feelings for her, feelings that went beyond just physical attraction. I tried to deny it, tried to convince myself that it was just my body reacting to her, but that was a lie. I cared for her, more than I should have. And yet, I had punished her for my own dirty desires.The guilt was eating me up inside. I had used my power to hurt her, to break her, and now I couldn't even face her. I had been so convinced that she was just a criminal, someone who deserved to be punished. But now, as I lay here, alone in my thoughts, I
ATLAS'S POV.Spent, I lay there on my bed, staring into the ceiling, my mind clouded and in an ever-raging torment.I couldn't get her out of my mind. Every time I closed my eyes, I saw her face, her body, her scent. It was driving me insane. I knew I shouldn't want her like this, shouldn't crave her touch, but every bone in my body wanted her, even more than my need to breathe.I paced back and forth in my chambers, trying to shake her from my thoughts. I couldn't focus on anything else, couldn't even enjoy the company of other women. I needed her, but I didn't want to admit it.Frustrated, I decided to pay her a visit. Maybe seeing her face would quell the hunger for her in my chest. But as soon as the idea entered my mind, I was plagued with doubt. What if I couldn't control myself around her? What if she rejected me? What if I hurt her again?I sat down on the edge of my bed, rubbing my temples. I glanced at the clock on my wall. It was late, but that didn't matter. I'd go meet he
NYX'S POV.I slowly opened my eyes, feeling disoriented as I tried to figure out where I was. The last thing I remembered was being in that cold and damp cell, chained up and left to rot. But now, I found myself lying on a soft, comfortable bed in a room that was entirely white. The walls, the ceiling, the curtains, and even the floor were white. It was almost too bright for me to bear, but at the same time, it was calming.I felt good, better than I had in a long time. There were few pains and sore regions, and I could stretch my body without any restriction. My head felt clear, and my thoughts were no longer foggy. I couldn't remember the last time I had felt this way. I closed my eyes and took a deep breath, relishing in the feeling of being free from the cell.I tried to sit up, but as I moved, I noticed the sharp sting of pain in my wrists and ankles. I looked down and saw that they were bandaged, and I could see the outline of a healing spell on them. I ran my fingers over the b
RILEY'S POV.Strong, beautiful, and confident, it was not so hard to see how my respect for Nyx turned into a full-blown crush. Her resilience in the face of adversity and her unwavering determination had captivated me from the moment I met her. Yet, I knew deep down that she saw me only as a kind friend, someone she could trust in this unfamiliar pack.Even now as I walked out of Nyx's room, my thoughts were filled with her. I couldn't help but feel a surge of protectiveness towards her. Seeing her vulnerable, recovering from her injuries, ignited a desire within me to support her in any way I could. I was grateful for the chance to be there for her when she needed a friend the most.As I made my way down the hallway of the pack's infirmary, my mind raced with memories of our interactions. The conversations we had, the smiles we shared, and the moments of genuine connection replayed in my mind like a cherished film reel. But I couldn't ignore the pang of longing that accompanied thos
ATLAS'S POV. As Riley returned with the thermometer, Nyx greeted him with a smile, and I could feel a stab of jealousy pierce my heart. They began to chat amicably again, and I listened in, my eyes trained on them.As I watched Nyx and Riley chat away, my jealousy raged within me like a wildfire. I couldn't believe how at ease they were with each other, and every word Riley spoke to her was like a dagger to my heart. I tried to keep a calm exterior, but inside I was seething with anger and insecurity.I wanted nothing more than to storm over there and demand that Riley leave Nyx alone, but I knew that wasn't an option. He was her doctor, and I couldn't risk putting her health in jeopardy by causing a scene.But that didn't stop me from imagining all the things I could do to him if he wasn't under the guise of professional responsibility. I imagined myself punching him square in the jaw, watching him crumble to the ground as I towered over him, triumphant in my victory.It was a dange
NYX'S POV.As I lay in my hospital bed, I heard the door creak open. I assumed it was Riley, but the footsteps that approached me were not his. I could sense it. My eyes were still adjusting to the darkness, and I squinted to try and get a better look, but it was still too dark to see who it was. Before he could say anything else, I started to tell him how I had been feeling nauseous all day, thinking it was Riley who had walked in. But as they got closer, I realized that the footsteps were louder. Clumsier. As soon as I realized that it wasn't Riley who had entered my room, my mind went into overdrive, trying to make sense of the situation. I couldn't see the intruder's face because of the darkness in my room, but I could tell from the way they moved that it wasn't someone I recognized.When the figure got closer, I was shocked to see that it was a little girl. My first instinct was to feel relieved that it wasn't an intruder trying to harm me, but then I felt a creeping sense of u
NYX'S POVAs I stood in front of Atlas's door, my heart pounded in my chest, and my palms grew clammy. The anticipation of facing him made my stomach twist into knots. "Here we go," I whispered to myself, mustering up the courage to confront him.With a hesitant hand, I gripped the doorknob and turned it slowly, the door creaking open. Stepping inside, I was immediately greeted by a familiar scent, a unique combination of musk and sandalwood that belonged solely to him. A quick rush of memories and emotions washed over me, reminding me of the hours we had spent together here and how it shielded me from the rest of the world. But there was no time for nostalgia now; I had a task at hand and needed to focus.I tiptoed further into the room, my eyes scanning for any signs of Atlas's presence. Thankfully, he wasn't there. Call me lucky.A wave of relief washed over me, temporarily easing the anxiety that had consumed me moments before. I silently hoped that luck would be on my side, a
NYX'S POVThe sunlight beamed through the window hitting me directly in the face. 'Fuck' I groaned slightly under my breath as the pain between my legs felt intense and strong. And my joints ached, it felt as though I had worked as a labourer the night before. I had worked though but the only difference was that my role was a submissive slut. Goodness, Atlas was great last night. Rough, dominant and angry. Just the way it should be. He had no mercy whatsoever and it only turned me on the more. He was a bastard for unnecessary punishing me though. But, it was hot even though I got hurt. Sweet bastard.I closed my eyes back, wanting to go back in time. If I could I'd let moments like this last longer. Because anything could happen the next minute. He could decide to not want this tomorrow, or it could even be me who'd wake up and say I strongly wanted all these to end. I doubted I'd wish for such though. But, in life we could really never tell.A smile made it's way to myself, graz
Nyx's pov:Atlas pulled his finger out and then continued to lick his fingers. "Kitty, you taste so fucking devine." He complimented as he gazed into my eyes intensely, his eyes had now turned a different shade of forest green, a darker shade, full of lust and desire for me."Has anyone ever told you that?" He asked, his voice barely above a whisper as he continually dipped his fingers in and out of his mouth.And, godamn that shit he did turned me on."Stop staring at me like that or else I'd punish you badly by spanking you 10 times and I wouldn't let you scream because those lips of yours would be nicely wrapped around my cock and you'd suck it, bobbing your head just like the slut you are." He mumbled, his words teasing me as I imagined the scenario. Fuck! It was an intense image to picture.Though I knew it'd be nothing but great torture, extreme and intense. Rough and wicked. Just the way I like being handled."So answer my question, as anyone ever told you how good you taste."
NYX'S POVIt was some minutes to 8pm, the designated time to meet Atlas. I felt both thrilled and excited. I stared at my closet wondering what I could wear that'd fit this occasion. Something pretty, something nice enough to keep him interested in this. Something revealing and sexy.Just in cue my eyes caught sight of a red lingerie, a wicked smile made its way to my lips as my fingers trailed the hook of the delicate lace. My mind wandered going wild with imaginations of the things that could possibly happen with him tonight.Would he still be dominating as he was earlier this morning? Would he be slow and gentle? Never.Slow and gentle for enemies like ourselves would be nothing but cringe and absolutely disgusting. I liked it when he was rough with me, I loved it when he teased me and his cock plunged into me with no mercy. I loved how he caressed my skin leaving me in need and desire. I loved and hated how he often made me beg for him to pleasure me. I checked the time on the
NYX'S POVI groaned in frustration as Atlas left me needy and yearning on the bed. It's crazy how he teased me then suddenly left me hanging. Like, what the actual fuck.He was just punishing me for no reason, why couldn't he stay and finish what he started. Why couldn't he keep his skin on mine a little longer?My heart raced a smile gracing my lips as I remembered I'd get to see him tonight. Thinking about the possibilities of what could happen sent a shiver down my spine. The way he spoke with authority, the low and husky timbre of his voice, the sensation of his hot breath against my skin- It was dominating and undeniably sexy.Goodness, how did we get here? How did we get to the point where I now feel excited to see him?Our arrangement was an unusual yet beautiful one, the fact that I could still hate him and have him pleasure me was a big deal. I sighed in contentment as I laid on the spot where he just left, his smell still lingered on the sheets and I happily wrapped them a
NYX'S POVI blinked my eyes open, feeling light headed as I stirred, breathing a sigh of relief as I smiled nestling further into Atlas. "Good morning baby." He whispered, dipping his head into the crook of my neck, nuzzling gently before planting a soft kiss on my exposed shoulders. I smiled, feeling a shiver run down my spine. I felt excited and thrilled I was new to this foreign feeling. The feeling of being free from overthinking things, free from worrying about possible consequences. He had officially made us just sex partners. Enemies turned Fuck buddies. I liked the sound of it. For once I was happy with his decision, it was undeniable that anytime we were together a dark cloud hung over us hovering ready to spill like a heavy rain. The sexual tension was real, heavy and pressing. "What's on your mind?" He asked, his voice low and calm. As he gently pulled me out of my train of thoughts, reminding me that I was yet to say anything in response but rather I was staring at him
NYX'S POV"I Hiccup. needed to. hiccup see hiccup you." He mumbled. "Atlas, what the-" I started but was cut short by his hand on my waist, pulling me close, resting his head in the crook of my neck and nuzzling it.Holding him closer, I steadied myself as I lost balance from the unexpected encounter. What happened to him? Seeing him at my doorstep was the last thing I expected. Yes, I wished to see him but not in this manner. I wond-"Nyx…" Atlas whimpered, making me forget about how unexpected this was. "Atlas, what's wrong?" I asked. My voice was barely audible, it was as if I was scared that if my voice was beyond this note, it might worsen whatever was wrong. "I don't even know how to explain how I feel." He slurred, his voice sounded so sexy as his hot breath fanned my exposed neck.He was drunk and I could tell because he reeked of alcohol.Leading us to the bed, I made him sit on the edge of my bed. Leaving to get him some water. I felt he'd need it because of the consta
NYX'S POVIt's been 3 days since we last had sex and I missed him. Not that I'd admit this to him but I did miss screaming out his name in pleasure and having him shut me up with kisses. I missed the feeling of his skin against mine. Even in the hallway I haven't seen him around. On the days I cleaned his room he wasn't there either. A part of me felt like he was avoiding me and the thought of that alone bothered me."Nyx,"Aurora called, tugging my arms gently as she pulled me out of my train of thoughts. "Yes yes, I'm here with you." I muttered under my breath as I turned to her and stared at her with an absent mind. I was overthinking and a little bit bothered and My mind, like a blank canvas, was painted with thoughts of a man who both captivated my heart and infuriated me—the same man who happened to be her father.Amusement danced in Aurora's eyes as she let out a soft giggle, the sound filling the room with its beauty. Her innocent joy brought a faint smile to my face, even a
NYX'S POV"Turn Around." He repeated the tone of his voice growing more and more demanding as he gazed into my eyes intensely.He had sent someone to call me over.And I could almost swear that he looked so hot at that moment that I wanted nothing than for him to bend me over the table and fuck me dirty. But I wouldn't give in so easily. "Make me." I challenged as I bit my bottom lip.He meets my defiance with a vicious laugh, and then lifts me up, turns me around, and bends me over the chair. Yes, handle me roughly daddy.I suppress a gasp when Atlas squeezes my ass and brings his lips close to my ear, his breath warm against my skin."Has anyone ever made you feel how I feel? Tell me, have you let many people touch you down here in the last few years?" He asks, pulling my coat as he rubbed his thumb over my thin lace panties. The one I intentionally wore because I wanted to seduce him."E...nough," I stammered, sucking in my breath as his fingers tingled. "Enough to make me proud t
