Lia.It was the dawn of a new morning and my feets were like stone. I had slept in a very awkward position and now moving them is becoming so painful.My neck hurts, my body hurts. Can somebody come to rescue me please? My throat was so dry and my stomach won't stop grumbling for food.Is it until I die that Ryan would give me food, I'm merely a living corpse here.My body was hurting so much, I needed to move, else I would die. At least let me enjoy my last meal before leaving this cruel world.With this thought in mind I started to crawl, using all the remaining strength in me to pull myself forward. I continued crawling until the heavy chains around my legs clicked.I looked back beadily to see what was holding me back and found out it was the chains tied to my legs, I can't move away too much due to how short they were.Dammit!"I need something to eat, anybody!" I shouted suddenly, hoping within me that the guards outside would hear me."I need water, I'm dying of thirst here!"
Asher.My eyes fluttered open and the first thing I saw was the roof of a dark room. I heard a deep snore and jerked up instantly.A groan escaped me as my feets made contact with the cold floor, I could barely see anything so I followed a small light that was reflecting through the window.I drew the cottons and opened the window, I shut my eyes due to how bright the sun was, I quickly stepped away from the window and only then did I notice the lady sleeping on a chair next to the bed I was laying on a couple of minutes ago.I took quiet steps to her and tried to touch her when she stirred in her sleep, sniffing quietly. Was she crying before she fell asleep?I left her to rest and walked to the door but as I pulled it open it was locked. My head rolled back and forth in a quick motion that almost lost momentu of myself but I was fast to hold onto the door knob for support.It was as if I was carrying a thousand heads in my neck, my vision was blurry and bitter. No matter how hard I
Lia.My eyes were on alert, the guard was yet to arrive and anxiety is getting the better of me. I bit on my nails, my eyes never leaving the gate, what must be keeping him? He was supposed to be here minutes ago, did he reject me?Argh… Ryan will never reject me, he desires me and I know he would go against his father to get what he wants, but why is he not coming yet?Urghhh!! I ruffled my hair as I didn't know what to think anymore. My butts were tired of sitting so I laid down instead, not minding if I will catch a cold from laying on the floor. I was left here to die anyway.I had barely closed my eyes when I heard the creaks of the gate, my eyes snapped open, a smile crossing my face as I lay eyes on the prison guard."What did he say?" The joy that filled my voice was out of this world. He hasn't said anything but I have already gotten my answer from his face."He wants you out of this hell hole immediately" he said simply and I couldn't hide my evil grin."What did I tell you
Lia's pov.The maids bathed me and applied lotion to my skin, applied makeup on my face and put me into a very big dress. It was so uncomfortable but I dare not say a word.The stigma the prison guards left was still very much alive in me, hence I restrained myself from any conversation with the maids.Hell, I wanted to ask so many questions, questions like how my aunt and nephews are taking the news and why I was dressed in a heavy gown instead of a sex workers attire.Or am I getting married without my consent? Why on earth will Ryan ask them to put a gown on me when I only accepted to be his mistress. Not like my uncle would accept me as a bride and who does a wedding in mid evening.Just what the fuck is going on, I'm dying if confusion here."Please keep your head high." The head maid said and I complied.They were styling my hair and applying all sorts of treatments to it, my stomach grumbled and I bit my lip in an attempt to stop it."Are you hungry, oh my I'm sure you haven't
I wondered if there was some kind of event going on in the Pack when we arrived. As expected, Ryan had doubled the security of the Pack border but my men were more than prepared for the assault that followed. My Beta, who had been hankering on being beside me in any place I went, came long, and his contribution at the border was quite substantial.The dark, night sky was graced with a half grown moon and a few stars, so the world was basically as black as charcoal. But our perfect werewolf eyesight was able to let us see our enemies as though it was daylight.They were stationed at every nook and cranny of the border, so they already knew we were coming and stood at the fringes of the line that separated the Pack from another territory, patiently waiting for their kill.There were no negotiations since I wanted to save my woman and take her back home. I knew she was still alive but I had this feeling that she was terribly hurt, and the thought alone drove me crazy. I wondered what Rya
The fact that she was crying, the fact that she must have been hurt and that she was in pains drove me nuts, making me go wild with rage. As I neared the location, I could get a whiff of Ryan's scent was well. He was with her! He was torturing her, doing to her whatever he pleased.Only the Goddess knew what I would do to him once I caught hold of his neck. His dead guards were not enough to pacify me at the moment. The celebration outside didn't seem to be going on any longer after they had seen me come into the Pack in such a furious manner.I guess everyone had scampered for safety, and had run for dear life. But nevertheless, the music was still bouncing off the numb edges of my brain. I slowly walked towards the room after I had decided to calm down, not wanting to fall into any kind of trap.I had to be calm to think straight or else I would allow my anger get the better of me and that consequences would be very dire, meaning my struggle would amount to nothing. From the distanc
I knew it was up for me the moment I heard something stir in the background. Glancing out of the window, I could see the Pack members who had been partying outside scampering for safety. I did not give it much thought that he had been able to get through the border but I was struck. I couldn't see how he must have passed through the tight security that was stationed at the boundary, even though he had come with all his men.I didn't want to think about it but the thought kept forcing its way back to my kind. Leaving me a bit startled as I wondered what would become of me if he was able to scale through the guards in the Palace door just in case he miraculously got into the Pack. If he was alone, and he managed to kill the number of Warriors at the Border, then I was in for somedeep, deep trouble. How was that even possible? I said as I strained my ear to hear and note where he was at the moment. I could hear his feet thudding and his wolf drawing in sharp breaths as he searched for h
My skin was already heated and I broke out into a cold sweat as I heard his quiet, almost silent, footsteps thud on the floor as he walked into the Conference room/Palace. I turned around and walked up to the b*tch who was still cradling her bleeding face on the corner of the bed.I felt like inflicting more injuries on her before Asher would come here, since the guards would definitely be no match for him. But I wouldn't be surprised if he was captured. That would even be the best thing that had happened in years. If that happened by any chance, I would make sure I turned him into his worst nightmare.My mind was already making up the evil that would proceed his capture, but I didn't have to be too sure. I still had to wait to see how things would turn out. I could still hear his every move and every harsh sniff he made to catch the scent of his mate.Wolfsbane had been used on her, so it would take some doing before he would be able to find her using her scent. "Ryan, stop!" She mut
