Kazia As we made our way back to the pack, Murad didn't for once look at me or say a word to me and this scared me to the core. I knew his silence could only mean more trouble for me, and I couldn't help but imagine different scenarios of how Murad intended on punishing me.When we arrived back at the palace, Murad instructed the other female servants to take his other pet, who had gone to the meeting with us, to her room, while I was to be taken to his room. On hearing this, my fear heightened as I knew immediately that Murad was going to have his way with me tonight and it wasn't going to be a pleasant experience. The other servants escorted me to Murad's room, and as we entered the room, I couldn't help but feel a chill run down my spine. The room was extremely dark, and everything was so ominous and creepy. Every corner of the room was painted black, and the only source of light came from candles. Chains hung from the walls, and whips and knives were displayed everywhere and i
The halls of the palace were usually adorned with an air of elegance and serenity, but on this day, they crackled with tension. Agrippina, the Luna, strode down the corridor with a storm brewing in her eyes. Her fists were clenched, her nails digging into her palms. The recent events had left her feeling powerless and angry, and there was only one target for her frustration: Kazia.Meanwhile, in her room, Kazia was tidying her belongings, unaware of the storm that was about to hit her. She hummed a soft tune, attempting to find solace in the simplicity of her tasks. Little did she know, her peace was about to be shattered.The door burst open, slamming against the wall with a force that made Kazia jump in surprise. Agrippina stood in the doorway, her eyes ablaze with fury. Without a word, she pointed a finger at Kazia, her voice sharp as a blade. "You! Yes, you!" Agrippina's voice echoed through the room, freezing Kazia in her tracks.Confused and alarmed, Kazia set down the trinket s
The moon hung high in the night sky as I walked back to the palace with my friends, Iris and Elena, by my side. We had spent the day exploring the woods beyond the Silver Dawn pack's territory, seeking solace in the embrace of nature.As we approached the palace, I felt a mix of apprehension and unease. Agrippina's hatred towards me was no secret, and I knew that facing her would only bring more trouble. But I couldn't let her animosity deter me from spending time with my friends and enjoying the freedom we found in each other's company.With a heavy sigh, I opened the door to the pet's quarters, the place where I called home. Iris and Elena followed me inside, and we settled into the modest but comfortable space we shared."I hope tonight is peaceful," Elena said softly, her eyes filled with concern.I nodded, trying to push away the thoughts of the recent events that had caused me pain. "I hope so too. But we have each other, and that's what matters."Iris smiled warmly, placing a h
Hours passed in the dimly lit storage room, and Kazia's patience and fear grew in equal measure. The air in the cramped space felt heavy with uncertainty. Her thoughts meandered through the maze of her predicament, pondering the motivations behind Agrippina's harsh actions.Then, the jarring sound of footsteps approaching broke the silence. Kazia stiffened as the door to the storage room creaked open, revealing a man she'd never seen before. His presence was a chilling intrusion into her secluded confinement.Fear clawed at her throat as she summoned her courage and spoke, her voice shaking. "Who are you, and what do you want from me?" she asked.The stranger met her with an impassive expression. "Follow me quietly," he replied.Kazia hesitated. Her captor had vanished, and this new man's intentions were far from clear. A gnawing dread weighed upon her, suspicion leading her thoughts into treacherous territories. She hesitated before speaking. "Why should I trust you? For all I know,
In the dim candlelight of her opulent chamber, Agrippina, her eyes gleaming with triumph, returned after locking Kazia in the storage room. Satisfaction welled up inside her, momentarily drowning out the lingering sting of Kazia's defiance. The silence of her room felt almost suffocating, filled only by the crackling of the fireplace and the rustle of Agrippina's elegant dress as she moved. Nancy, her loyal servant, cautiously approached, her eyes reflecting a mix of concern and curiosity. "Milady, how long do you intend to keep Kazia locked up?" Nancy's voice was hushed, as if she feared Agrippina's wrath even in her own private chamber. A wicked smile played on Agrippina's lips as she settled into a plush chair, her gaze distant. "If it were up to me, I'd keep her there forever," she replied, her voice laced with venom. "But alas, I can't have her rotting away in that storage room forever. No, I want her to spend a night in fear, alone in the darkness. Let her contemplate her fate
In the dimly lit chambers of the Silver Dawn pack's castle, Agrippina sat alone, her mind swirling with deceit and treachery. Her plan to keep Kazia away from Murad had worked so far, but she couldn't shake the feeling that her web of lies was starting to unravel.Before she could dwell further on her schemes, the door to her room burst open, and Agrippina looked up in surprise to see Murad, his eyes ablaze with anger and fury. The air crackled with tension as he stormed into the room, his presence imposing and commanding."Agrippina," Murad growled, his voice low and dangerous. "I want the truth, and I want it now. Were you behind Kazia's ailment? Did you have something to do with her being taken to the hospital?"Agrippina's heart raced, and she quickly composed herself, feigning innocence. "I have no idea what you're talking about, Murad. I would never harm anyone, especially not Kazia."Murad's eyes narrowed, and his patience seemed to wear thin. "Don't play games with me, Agrippi
The soft lamplight bathed the room in a warm, comforting glow, and the three women huddled together on Kazia's bed. Her room, their sanctuary, was a haven of camaraderie in the otherwise hostile palace. Kazia, the warmth of friendship giving her courage, began her tale. "He just came into the storage room," she narrated, her voice trembling with a mix of apprehension and amazement. "He told me to follow him and said someone important wanted to meet me." Iris, her brow furrowed in disbelief, responded, "The Beta's messenger actually came to fetch you? That's unheard of." Kazia nodded, her thoughts still in disarray. "I couldn't believe it either. It's... different from anything that's happened here." Elena, her fingers fidgeting with the fabric of her shabby dress, added, "Compared to what we've been through with Murad, it's hard to imagine someone connected to the palace being friendly." Kazia's expression shifted to one of mild surprise. "Well, I wouldn't say he was exactly frien
Third-person POV The sun had just begun to cast its golden hues across the palace grounds as Kazia woke to the soft knock on her door. It was Aldana, the head servant, her stern face softened with a hint of concern. "Good morning, Kazia," she greeted, her voice tinged with worry. "The King is waiting for you. He wants you to accompany him outside the palace. You should prepare yourself." Kazia nodded, her eyes flickering with a mix of annoyance and resignation. Being summoned by King Murad meant another day of enduring his haughty presence and his attempts to assert his dominance over her. She understood the dynamics of their relationship – she was his pet, bound to him by the cruel twist of fate. But that didn't mean she had to like it. With a curt acknowledgment, she motioned for Aldana to leave, closing the door behind her. The room was adorned with opulent fabrics and intricate designs, a stark contrast to the confinements of the storage room. Yet, it was still a cage of anoth
