When my mother complained about father's involvement in activities that would destroy our pack, I had got concerned. I spoke to him about it and he told him to trust him. He had a way of ensuring no one would find out it was him until we were all millions of miles away from the pack.I trusted him. Look where that got me and my family. Maybe the rest of us would have been spared if I had reported him.It seemed I had not learnt my lesson. I had gone and trusted a woman I knew nothing about. Now I was trapped.Grace was not going to choose me over her granddaughter.“If she's your granddaughter, why are you working like a slave?”“Because I did something terrible. Jane convinced alpha Ridian to be lenient to me. She defended me when no one would, and that's why I'll fight anyone in the world for her. You are not going to come between Jane and what she loves most.”“What does Jane love most?”“Being the queen,” she said. “The Luna of the greatest pack in this region. Now you see why hav
After hours of begging, Letty finally decided to give me some of her make-up. The makeup she kept was mostly reserved for the seamstresses but there was no law forbidding the rest of us from using it. She warned me to apply it light because she didn't want to suffer another punishment because of us. If Dane noticed, she would say Maryanne and I stole the makeup which would get us into tougher punishments. All I wanted was a little attention, from Kyle. He was good looking enough for the job. That was all that mattered since I did not have feelings for him.The first morning I applied makeup, Kyle said I looked great. I smiled as he carried his breakfast away from the table. I felt happy. Being ignored by the man who was supposed to love me had done a number on my self-esteem so it was great seeing someone appreciate my looks. It made me feel better. I was not the useless trash bag alpha Ridian thought me to be.When I was washing that day, I picked out Kyle's uniform and gave it eno
A bloodcurdling scream awoke me from a deep slumber. Sitting up, I ran to the window and looked out. I saw three men running towards the woods where I assumed the scream had come from. Seconds later, I saw one of the men with hands around a seamstress’s body leading her out of the woods. She was crying and letting her tears fall freely. Turning to the room, I removed my nightdress and put on my maid uniform. Passing by the bathroom, I washed my face. There was no time for anything else.A crowd had gathered under the rows of trees. They were looking at something at the centre of the circle they had formed.“What’s going on?” I asked a man wearing a red shirt.“See for yourself,” he said, stepping aside. I went forward only to fall to the ground a few seconds later.When I came to, I was in my room and Maryanne was pacing about.“Tell me he’s not dead,” I said.Maryanne turned. “He is, unfortunately. Someone said they saw you leaving the building at night and I was informed to take you
PunishmentI watched in horror as Dane picked out a whip from the many hanging off the wall. He took his hand and studied it, as if testing its efficiency. Memories of my last whipping flooded my mind and I could almost feel the pain on my body.I wanted to speak, to beg for forgiveness but the words couldn’t come out. I remained frozen in silence, watching as Dane made his way to me, taking large measured strides, typical of a man on a mission. He stopped in front of me. Since I was kneeling and couldn’t look up, I stared at his sandals. He had huge legs which thin toes which was a bit strange. His brown feet were ashy and dry as if he hadn’t put lotion on them for decades.“Undo the top part of your dress,” he said, going to stand behind my back. My body stiffened as it prepared itself for what was to come. The whip came down hard and sent pain all over my back. Then there was another, and another. I couldn’t stop the sobs that wrecked my body as strokes rained all over my back. Th
The next few days passed by with no major incident. After the consequences of my last actions, I knew keeping a low profile was what I needed to avoid getting into the spotlight. The spotlight usually meant danger and pain for me. However, there was a certain pain I could not escape, the pain of my mate sleeping with someone else. Whenever it happened, my entire body felt like it was breaking into pieces on the inside. My stomach would feel like someone was twisting a knife around my internal organs. The pain in my head nearly made it explode, and yet I could not tell anyone about it. Only Grace knew what was wrong with me during those times but never bothered to offer any help.Sometimes I would walk around like a zombie knocking things around because my head was too muddled. As days went by, I began to have a lot of thoughts about my siblings whereabouts so when I found out that there was a witch living in the pack, I decided to grab the chance to get information.Apparently, they
He stopped in front of me and unbuckled his belt. Just when I thought he was going to use it to beat me, he undid the top buttoning of his khaki trousers. My heart started hammering faster when he pulled the zip down and showed me dark underwear. A faint smell permeated from there and I turned my head to stop myself from throwing up.Dane let his trousers fall to the floor and pulled out his dick from his underwear. He grabbed my head and forced me to look at it. It was erect, and uncircumcised. The smell was stronger and I confirmed the origin. He grabbed his dick with his free hand and tried to force it through my lips but my teeth were clenched so hard it could not go through.“Bitch,” he let go of his stinking member and slapped me before trying again. This time I couldn’t hold it in anymore. I threw up all over his dick. When I looked at his face, Dane looked like he was about to kill me.Dane walked away from me and went to the bed, quickly grabbing a sheet and wiping his dick.
The next day, Dane was nowhere to be seen. He usually came around in the mornings but no one saw him that day. No one talked about him. Was I the only one who knew he was dead? I thought about the previous’ day’s events all day. However much Maryanne tried to pressure me, I did not give her any details. The Dane issue was disturbing my mind.The announcement was made during dinner time. The warrior who had shot Dane informed everyone that Dane was gone, although he didn’t specify what type of ‘gone’ he meant. People started whispering, wondering whether he meant that Dane was dead, had turned rogue or gone to live around humans.For a moment, I thought life would be better with Dane gone but all those hopes were extinguished when Dane’s replacement entered the hall and started walking to the front to join the warrior. There was a collective gasps from the female population followed by constant murmuring.The man was tall, and huge. He was bigger and looked more threatening than Dane.
I barely slept that night. I kept turning and tossing, wondering why he had left me just like that. All my insecurities came back to me. Did I smell so bad I turned him off? Did he realise that it was a mistake? I desperately wanted to know what was going on in his mind. If he didn’t want me, why did he kiss me in the first place? Was he a psycho who just wanted to see me suffer?Eventually, I managed to sleep. I even survived the next day, thanks to all the work I had to do. MaryAnn claimed to be sick and I didn’t ask her to prove it because I needed the work in order to take things off my mind. I had not stopped thinking of that second’s long kiss. His lips had been on mine for but a second but it had felt phenomenal. I had known that I was going to enjoy it. Unfortunately for me, it ended before I could enjoy it. Which was a good thing because enjoying it would have made me crave more, and yet I couldn’t have it. Or maybe I could. Maybe he had changed his mind and actually wante
