True to his words, Sheera didn't leave for several hours.
She laid in his bed, face down and her breath shallow. Her lower body throbbed with a relentless ache, she feared she'd lack the ability to walk when the Alpha finally releases her to go.
He was at his balcony, covered in a black robe and drinking wine from a silver goblet. His hand was tightly wrapped around the goblet as he took in the last drop. Then, he glared it at it and held it with such force like he wanted to crush it.
Sheera shivered when she heard him come into the room. She heard the sound of the goblet dropping with a hard thump before his approaching footsteps reached her ears.
She wanted to run away. Get down from the bed and leave the room. But she knew that would be disastrous. Unless she runs out of the Fortress, she'll be imprisoned and punished. And if she 'did' run out of the Fortress, the Alpha would come after her family and have them punished severally.
Despite how hurt and scared she was, she knew she was stuck until he was done with her.
A weak, breathy whimper slipped past her clenched teeth when she felt him climb into the bed, his unique scent of freshly washed herbs and sunlight messing with her head.
She dreaded his touch, wondering how much further she could go before she eventually passed out.
For hours, he's been inside of her - mercilessly using her cunt like he held personal grudges against it.
The back of her neck hurt from the number of times he's had his hand tightly wrapped around it. Her scalp burnt from how hard he's pulled at her hair. None of it seemed normal.
Each time, he got more aggressive, making it seem like he was angry - at her or her body - she wasn't sure. But it was more like he couldn't get enough of it. And it made him aggressive.
A tremor ran through her when she felt him tilt her head back. The last thing she saw was a black cloth going in front of her before it went over her eyes.
She gasped uncomfortably as pitch black invaded her vision. By Selene's grace! The night wasn't about to come to an end, was it?
She stiffened when Keegan's touched her. Not-gently, he flipped her over like her weight was of that of a feather.
For the first time, she was laying upwards beneath him. But she couldn't see him - just like her mother had said.
Her chest rose and fell in barely perceptible pants as she struggled with the discomfort in her eyes. Her legs were spread apart and lifted upwards until she could feel them close to her ears.
"Please..." she said the word without thinking, fear echoing in them. She was so sore, she didn't know how to take any more of him.
In the beginning, she had felt something akin to pleasure. Even tho it had hurt due to his size and how very tight she still was, a little bit of pleasure had crept in somehow along the pain. But now, all that was left was pain. She feared she'd pass out if he took any more from her.
Keegan paused, his cock at her entrance. He looked at her blindfolded face and didn't need to listen to her pleas to know she was exhausted. Yet, it made him even harder.
He wanted to keep taking from her. Wanted to see her cry beneath him and plead for mercy.
It was a dark part of him even Odessa had never been able to penetrate. And it angered him because he knew what that meant for him.
It was driving him insane that he wasn't being satisfied. Each time he felt he was through with her, the sexual starve came again and made him act on impulse.
Now it didn't matter how hurt she was going to be. He was going to keep taking more until he couldn't any longer.
A yelp of pain escaped Sheera's lips when she felt him going into her sore cunt. This time, the feeling was different, coming from the new position she was in. Her toes curled up, and Sheera could swear she could feel him hitting her womb.
Her head fell backwards, scattering her hair over the pillow as little whimpers slipped her throat. Her fingers gripped the sheets tight, her nails wishing they could dig into them.
Keegan's thrust were hard and fast. And the fact that she was unable to see anything terrified her even more. She felt bruised. There was nothing she wouldn't do to break free from the moment.
Keegan grunted above her - his voice thick and feral and sending more shivers down her spine.
It should be forbidden for a man like him to sound that way. Because it made Sheera want to believe he was likable.
Finally, she did something she wasn't supposed to - something that could have her locked up.
Her hands left the sheets and went to his bare chest, attempting to push him off. Even before her attempt, she'd known it'd be futile getting someone like Keegan off her body when he didn't want to.
Man may be young in age, but he was well-groomed and didn't become who he was by being weak. He had the strength of a hundred men and clearly, her hands were a mockery to his tales.
Still, that was the only escape her instincts had whispered to her.
Keegan's response was a deep growl - one that carried his message of being pissed off.
He seized her both hands and pinned them above her head with one of his, his cock stilling inside of her.
"Have you lost your mind?" His voice sounded really close to her ear.
A convulsive shiver wracked her body from how cold and lethal it was. She stopped struggling and just sobbed. Next thing she felt was his hand gripping her chin roughly, causing even her teeth to ache.
"Another wrong move from you and you shall yearn for the sweet embrace of oblivion." He ground.
"I'm sorry..." Sheera sobbed. "I can't take anymore. Please."
His grip on jaw grew firmer. She groaned from the pain.
"But you will. You don't move until I tell you to, lady."
Tears rolled out from her blindfold. She continued sobbing when Keegan resumed his thrusts in and out of her.
Her back arched as she cried, her hands still pinned above her head.
He was a monster - she thought. Every single tale she's heard about him were true!
The great Alpha that dominated the North only became so great by being ruthless. Cruel. The only time he was good was when it involved killing or hurting others for his Pack's benefit. For his name. His fame. Never has it been for the good of anyone in particular.
She hated herself for ever having the slightest admiration for him in the first place. He may have the looks of Zeus, but he had the heart of a distasteful beast! And oh, she hated him! She wanted to hate him! She was going to.
She shrieked when his free hand trapped her tit and gave it a hard pull. It wasn't the first time, and Sheera's nipples were just as sore.
She didn't know exactly how long it took before the Alpha pulled away from her. But it felt like forever.
She closed her hurting legs and continued whimpering from the soreness.
A long minute passed before she felt him above her again, but only to take off her blindfold. Her eyes - heavy and soaked with tears - found him in a black robe.
He moved away from her, standing to his feet. His dark eyes roamed over her body, sending more panic to Sheera who could still see the beastly hunger in them.
"Get out before I change my mind." His voice was hoarse.
She wasted no time.
Dragging herself off the bed, she slipped into her clothes as quickly as her sore body allowed. It was a struggle having to stand on her feet. But her fear of the Alpha getting to throw her back into the bed was greater than the pain.
She didn't look at him nor dip her head when she finished.
Sniffling, she hurried out of the room, going into the midnight darkness.
Kalaril flanked Keegan as they approached the assembled horses and Warrior Hounds. There were fifty Warrior Hounds and each had a horse and weapon to themselves. Of course, they could run faster than the horses if they were in their wolf form. But the journey ahead of them was a long one. Eventually, they'll need to shift and rest at nights. Their clothes would be torn by the time they've shifted back to human form, leaving them to roam naked - which wasn't a thing a lot of them appreciated. Unless there was an emergency. That was the reason horses were their trip partners. Kalaril had a little discussion going on with the Alpha even as they reached the horses and warriors. The Warrior Hounds - like their name - were highly trained and skilled fighters of the pack, meant and always ready to go to war. They always received special treatment in the pack while spending most of their time training. And they were never bothered for any reason until it was war time. Keegan had hundreds
"Greetings, Mistress Thessaly," she curtsied.Thessaly met her bow with a stony silence, her jade eyes assessing Sheera with cool indifference. She had a delicate fragrance clinging to her clothes - one that Sheera loved. And the lady was really pretty - much pretty than Odessa, if Sheera had a say. "Um...how are you doing, my lady?"Thessaly's response was a sharp retort, laced with impatience. "What do you want?""Oh. Nothing really. I just... I wanted to thank you for standing up for me the other day. You know, when Mistress Odessa had been trying to intimidate me before we went hunting."Thessaly gave her a puzzled look. She threw back her head and laughed. "I stood up for you?" Her eyes held amusement. "Do you even realize who you are talking to? I barely even noticed you, girl. All I did was try to get under Odessa's skin, and you were just the available tool. Listen, I do not care about you. The only person I care about is Odessa and that is trying to hurt her as much as I c
Keegan went over to the spared humans who were on their knees with their hands behind their heads. Simply because they were allowed to live didn't mean they were in a better shape. They had cuts and bruises all over their faces and bodies."Who is your leader?" He crouched in front of the first man and asked. They'd made sure to kill those who seemed 'ordinary' enough, and leave out the ones with the tendency of being in charge. The average - aged man hesitated, grounding his teeth. His rebellion was quickly doused by a surge of pain as Keegan's claws sank into his gut. He threw back his head and groaned in pains. "You better make use of those teeth and start talking. My patience wears thin as a cobweb," Keegan leaned closer, his breath hot and fetid against the man's ear. He didn't withdraw his claws from the man's stomach. "He...He is gone!" The man cried at last. "I.... I swear it! You are two days late. He already left.""Who is 'he'?" Keegan sent his claws a little deeper.
Sheera's heart drummed in her chest as she stood beside the window, her eyes feeding on the crowd gathered just outside. It was as though, the entire pack members were present, because the crowd was like none she'd ever seen.The high position of the room she was in gave her an advantage of a panoramic view of the unfolding scene. At that moment, she forgot all about her predicament and focused on the predicament of the one that'd been found guilty.Shortly, the young lady was dragged out by the Pack Keepers to the center of the gathering on the raised platform. She was roughly dropped on her knees, her hands bound behind her with Moly ropes.Moly was their weakness. It was often used on her kind to weaken them. The girl, barely more than a wisp of a thing, knelt on the raised platform. Her unbound dark hair hung limp and tangled, framing tear-streaked cheeks. Shame and terror leeched from her hunched form.Sheera felt a tremor course through her. Fear, not for herself, but for the yo
His name was Keegan - the most powerful Alpha King that ruled the North.Shouldered with the responsibility of leading the largest Wolf Pack to ever exist, Keegan was one of the most feared and respected Alpha alive.Long before he became Alpha, when he was still a prince, his name was already known. And he did much worst when he finally became Alpha. The eyes of 'common' people rarely saw him. And those who were opportuned to always considered themselves lucky. To some of the wolves, he was a god.He was as charming as you could imagine. Hair was long and gold in color. But most of the times, he had it in two backward braids. He had silver eyes - extremely pretty eyes that could charm their way into the heart of anyone.He had the body of a warrior - tall and muscular with scars that spoke of won battles that gave him his name. And when he walked, you could feel the fear from the people around him. At twenty-eight, he had so much to his name.But beside his charms, he was known for h
"Uh...no. Greetings," She dropped her gaze.The young man flashed a thin smile as he looked down from the balcony and saw the Alpha walking away. He fixed the puzzle instantly."I see. You are one of my brother's admirers, are you not?"Sheera's jaw dropped slightly with surprise. He was the Alpha's brother?! The Alpha had two stepbrothers. Sheela was certain the one in front of her was Malkar. "Greetings, my prince." Her head went lower.He passed a scrutinizing stare. "You didn't know who I was initially. And... I do not think I have seen this face around here. Who are you?"Sheera bristled under his scrutiny. An unpleasant chill snaked down her spine. There was something about Malkar, something dark and unsettling that lurked beneath the surface of his youthful charm."I am...I am actually new here. My name is Sheera.""Hold on!" He clicked his fingers. "I have definitely heard of you! The Alpha's toy. Am I correct?"She didn't respond. How many others knew of her? And was that a
They reached her room where Tabitha set the tray down on a stool. "Thank you, Tabitha." Sheera smiled. "Oh. It's nothing. If you need anything, you can just check me out in the maids quarters." She replied and headed for the door, but suddenly stopped in front of it. "By the way, you are so beautiful," Her eyes crinkled at the corners as she said. Sheera's heart warmed up. She dipped her head, and finally, Tabitha left the room. ***†*†Sheera spent the rest of the day alone in her room.For hours, she remained in bed, tossing and wondering if her life would remain so boring.How much she missed her family! She missed the mornings when she went hunting with her mother and sister. She missed fighting and making up with Naya. What she wouldn't do to get back to them. But this was probably for the best. At least, Naya wouldn't have to suffer.It was almost evening when she decided to go for another stroll. She felt imprisoned being in the room alone.As she walked, she considered the
Shallow gasps hitched in Sheera's throat as her terrified eyes locked on the Alpha. Just that morning, she had admired him when she saw him from afar. She had no idea it'd be so fearful getting to see him from close proximity.The glint of the sword in his hand, still wet with the man's blood, churned her stomach. Revulsion threatened to overwhelm her, but fear held it in check. She stumbled back a trembling step, punctuated by the erratic tremor of her lips."Kalaril, who is she?" Keegan asked, his impassive gaze on her."I have no idea, Alpha. I found her spying through the window." Kalaril answered.Dread coiled in Sheera's gut as Keegan drew closer until he was only three inches away from her. She began to wonder how she had admired him earlier on. The man before her had the looks of a god - literally. He was handsome, yet had an aura of danger that clung to him like a shadow. Instead of wanting to kiss his feet like she had desired that morning, she wanted to go far from him."
