I couldn't help but to step back out of fear hearing to his voice. Beta Karlos, the most notorious person stood there, with an intimidating aura almost wanting to kill me, "Why did you and Clara try to escape?" he demanded with a cold voice passing chills throughout my body.
Clara and I exchanged a glance, but neither of us dared to speak, we just prepared to leave but never prepared an answer about what to say if we were caught. The truth of our plan is too dangerous to reveal, and our silence can be the only thing that can save us for the time being. Karlos face stiffened with anger as he became impatient by our silence. "So, you choose silence? Very well." He signalled for the guards, who held us forcefully following Karlos. We were dragged through to the dungeon where my mom is waiting, her face is masked with fury. Karlos reported our attempted escape. My mother’s eyes reddened in anger as if fire igniting in her eyes, the moment she slapped me across the face, the force of her slap made me to stumble. "Useless wretch!" she yanked my hair, I can sense her trembling with anger. "How dare you to think about escaping? You will never leave this palace! If you dare to run away again, I'll chop down your limbs to lock you forever, keep it in mind," she slapped me again and again to satisfy her anger, but her rage have no bounds. Clara fell on my mother's feet pleading for me, "Luna, please leave her, she'll die, she is already weak," my kicked her away mercilessly, and threw me towards Clara with force, "if not because of your sister's engagement today, I would've killed you, damn bitch!" "Lock them both in the dark room," she commanded with an annoyed tone wanting to hide my presence till everything is settled, "Starve them until my further orders, don't even offer a glass of water to them." "Yes Luna!" They bowed respectfully obeying her orders. The guards pushed Clara and me into the dark room ruthlessly, we fell on the cold and hard floor which bruised us once again, doors were locked right in front of us taking away the last bit of light, leaving us with darkness and despair. I could hear her soft breathing nearby, but the darkness filled everywhere in the room, making it difficult to even see the person right beside me, so I thought at least my voice could reach her as I owe an apology to her. “I’m sorry,” I apologised to Clara, my voice barely more than a whisper. I felt her reaching out to my hand as she tried to speak, "It’s not your fault, Alexa. Please don't apologise, it's your mother who is the cause of this situation of ours, not you." I couldn’t find the strength to argue. The hunger within me took away the last bit of strength that was left, the cold, unforgiving walls of the dark room reminded me of my entire life from the day I was born to till today. In the extreme silence filled room, Clara broke that silence with her concerned question which she didn't bother to ask earlier. "Alexa, why did you try to escape? What made you to think of escaping, out of a sudden?" That horrible memory rewinded in front of me once again, as I began to speak about their cruel plans to ruin my life. "That’s monstrous! How could they think about something so cruel?" Clara was stunned hearing to everything. Along with blood even tears must've been drained, even though I wanted to try, they're not coming out. "I don’t know why they’re doing this to me Clara. I thought I was just a cursed omen, but it turns out they sealed my wolf to use me like this for Selene." "Both of you are their children, then how can they love one to the extent of ruining another one's life?" Clara sighed, being as clueless as I was. Clara cursed my family’s cruelty, her voice a mix of frustration and helplessness, because neither of us could do anything as we don't have enough strength to fight back. We endured two days of continuous starvation, our bodies started weakening from the lack of food and water. On the third day, a little portion of food was finally brought to us. We devoured it with a desperate hunger, feeling a slight relief since our stomachs finally filled with food. But just as I started to feel better, I noticed Clara falling unconscious strangely, just then the doors were opened once again, and maids entered, "Luna asked for your presence," they said taking me out of the dark room and into a well-lit bed chamber. The sudden brightness making me blink hard. I was bathed and groomed roughly, my skin tingling with the touch of unfamiliar hands, I can't help but to suspect their actions. The maids then forced me to take a strange, bitter medicine, which I protested against but they made me swallow it. Almost immediately, an unsettling sensation began to build within me. A flush of heat spread through my body, an involuntary response to the medicine that made me feel increasingly restless and disoriented seeking for more warmth. I struggled to control my reactions, but the sensation was impossible to ignore, my body betraying me in its desire. This wasn’t just another punishment but it was a cruel twist, a form of manipulation meant to break me further. "After today, you'll never think about escaping," I heard my mom laughing, "I'm a good mother allowing you to satisfy your desires, so get served well." They immediately left the room leaving me alone, I realised their plan and I shouldn't give in, when I heard the footsteps near the door and a male voice, "I'll do just as you wanted Luna." "No...no, I shouldn't let this happen," I rushed to lock the room from inside and jumped out of the window pulling up all the courage I've had, thankfully I'm fine with small injuries, when I got up from the ground and tried to run but bumped into someone. Their presence was overpowering, and I heard a husky voice, "This little pup is in rut, interesting!" "She smells good," the other one said sniffing around, I don't know what made me say it, but I said shamelessly, "it's uncomfortable, hug me." "Don't regret it later," I heard him whisper in my ear, I nodded immediately hugging him, the next minute I was lifted in the air and carried by someone but not in a position to stop him, my vision blurring while my mind was fogged by the strange medicine. I felt hands on me, touching me in ways that made my skin crawl and my heart race, but I wanted it more. My dress was torn away, and I could feel the rough, intrusive touches all over my body, as if my body was a plaything for their desires. Not one but I felt more, gripping and groping every part of my body, there were bites and kisses that left marks of pain and pleasure, my own body betraying me with sensations that confused and terrified me, making me crave for more, am I this desperate always or is it just a medicinal effect? "She tastes divine," a dark chuckle echoed in the room burning my cheeks out of embarrassment as his tongue playing with that part of my body. I was pinned to a soft mattress, my lips were captured by some rough and chapped lips, while my body is burning by the other one's touches, and a strange feeling when something was poking near my vagina, I can feel a smooth tip wanting to enter into me. The pain intensified, especially between my legs, as if I was being torn apart, "Ahhhhh!" "Yes little pup, moan harder," he groaned thrusting more deeper into me, I cried in pain and pleasure, it's huge and tearing me inside, I can feel them devouring me and my body, with their shameless words, "cum for me, little pup." My vision darkened, and I lost consciousness after reaching the point of pleasure multiple times, succumbing to the overwhelming sensations. The sun rays straight on my face disturbed the sleep, with great difficulty when I opened my eyes, I noticed I was in bed, but whose bed is it? The sharp pain between my legs was extreme to even move, as if I had been trampled by a herd of elephants. I could feel the heat of two bodies pressed against me, their skin against mine, and the mingling of their breaths. The moment I pulled sheets away, I can see three hot naked men hugging my naked body, the perverted sight in front of me reminded horny memories of the previous night, "Who are these people?"••ALEXANDRA POV••"Alexandra, you wench! What the hell do you think you’re doing?"My mother's words are as harsh as the slap landed on my cheek."You can’t even clean a room properly? Look at this dirty water everywhere, you fool!" she hissed with disgust, but it's her who kicked the bucket of water accidentally, still I can't speak it out, she yanked my hair, "Guests will be arriving soon for your sister’s birthday week celebration, and you can’t manage this simple task? Useless!" I flinched in pain but didn't dare to make a sound, though the pain made my eyes fill with tears, still I kept my head down, focusing on the ground."Mom," The word slipped out before I could stop myself, but as soon as I said it, I knew it was a grave mistake. Another slap. Harder than earlier. "I told you never to call me that!" she pushed me hard enough making me fall on the floor. "You're not allowed to call me mom, you wretched girl. You will address me as Luna even if it is just two of us, do you
"Mate?" I uttered, the word filled with a mix of disbelief and confusion, is he my mate? Who is he?Before I could even respond, he fiercely took his hand back from me causing me to end up on the floor once again, a commotion began around us. Selene’s frustration ran mercilessly in disdain not bothering about my despair. "What kind of trouble have you caused now, Alexandra? Can't you stay out of trouble at least for one day?"My mother’s arrival isn't any less cruel than Selene's. She stormed in, with a furious face, "Look at the mess you’ve made! Who allowed this idiot here?" she sighed while fanning her face with her hand, "Is this how you present yourself in front of all the guests? How long are you planning on making a fool of our family? You, useless wench!" I wanted to disappear if possible. The weight of their words were unbearable. I tried to gather all the strength to stand, but their harsh words crushed me more further. I felt my heart would shatter with every angry word th
"Luna, Alexandra has been burning up a high temperature from last night. She’s sick! Please show mercy on her,"Clara stepped forward, blocking my mother’s path for the sake of me.A harsh slap landed on Clara's cheek for blocking my mother's way. The sound of the slap echoes through the room, "how dare you to block my way? If you dare to repeat it again you'll be whipped by a silver whip a thousand times." Clara stumbled back, her corner of the lip started bleeding already, but she didn't cry out. She just looked at me, with fear and helplessness in her eyes."Drag her to the extraction cellar immediately," my mother sighed, turning away from Clara as if she was nothing. Four maids held me roughly. I struggled, but they’re too strong for me to escape. Before I could even resist, I was dragged to the extraction cellar forcefully by those maids, "Luna, I can’t do this today, I'm really sick," I begged her with a trembling voice hoping she would show some mercy, "please Luna." But I'
