LUPE'S POV"You are a beast!" I yelled, my voice quivering with rage and terror. My words kept lingering in the air, but the Lycan King literally ignored me. He was acting very calmly, as if he was the only breathing life in the room or maybe my defiance were only but a noise from a distant breeze.I sat at the extreme end of the bed, my body shaking not just in fear but to the fact that the sight of him was really disgusting. I held my arms tightly around my body, as if I was trying to protect the little pride left in me. I was too scared to dare to stand or try to make any rash movement. That very moment my mind was really racing with desperate thoughts."Lupe you can escape! Run! Just leave everything behind and run for your dear life."But even as those thoughts kept lingering in my head. I knew it was a very bad idea, clearly impossible. Even if I manage to sneak out of the room, there would be guards stationed at every angle of the house. I'm sure they are guards standing outsid
LUPE'S POV"Run! It's all on fire. Everything is burning to the ground," everywhere was on fire.I was startled awake by the screaming, but I didn't feel like I had actually woken up. My nose were overwhelmed with the pungent smell of smoke, and my ears were filled with people's frantic screams. Flames licked at the sky as I staggered forward, my feet crunching on the charred ground. Everywhere around me was hot and it seemed like the whole world was on fire. Cries and shouts radiated from all directions, combining to create an overwhelming clamor. Some wolves in human form were pulling others who were barely able to keep up as they rushed by me, their fur burning as they ran in utter despair. The pack village I had known my whole life was turning to ash, and children were screaming for their moms. It was an unbearable sight.My pulse was racing as I spun around in panic, trying to figure out what was going on. With every second that went by, the flames grew louder, mercilessly consu
LUPE'S POV Once more, the knock was sharper. After a moment of hesitation, I relunctantly stood up and yanked the door open. A woman in her early fifties stood in front of me, with her rude face and evil eyes that seemed to cut straight through me.They called her "Sarah the slasher," though I don't know why everyone in the pack house refer to her as that.Her eyes moved over me, from my bare feet to the tangled mess of hair that fell around my shoulders, and she made no effort to conceal her contempt. I could clearly notice the slight curvature of her lips in disgust."What took you so long to open the damn door?" she whispered, barely audible but loud enough for me to hear.In the back of my mind, my wolf Leah growled, and I tensed up. Leah hissed, "She's making fun of us."I ignored Sarah without even looking straight to her eyes.Then after a while I turned my attention away from leah and towards Sarah, who stood up straight and arched an eyebrow. "You've had enough of sleep thi
Lupe’s POVAs I left to get other things, i returned to see Kyan had left too. I hissed and continued my task.At last, the dining room was tidy. The sunshine pouring in through the tall windows made the floor so shiny. I felt a tiny twinge of pride at the work I'd done, even though my arms hurt from the scraping and I could still perceive some pungent cleaning solution. I gave myself a little moment of satisfaction because it was uncommon for me to feel like I had done anything here.After gathering the cleaning items, I put the mop back in its proper place in the corner and wrapped the rags with care. I was about to go to my room when I heard footsteps approaching behind me. I didn't even turn back before my stomach fell.I knew it was Kyan again. Who else could it be if not her?"What the fuck do you think you are doing?" She said in a very harsh, disrespectful tone. 'Why won't this b*tch leave me alone?' I wasn't surprised that she came back to check. And here I was, thinking sh
Lupe’s POVAfter she was done making mockery of me, she left feeling like a boss."You shouldn't get on her nerves. She is the witch here. Though to you, worse. I've not seen her behave this inhumane to anyone before." A girl said from behind.I cleaned my tears and continued, giving no room for chats."I'm Ariel, what's yours?" The girl who is obviously a maid too, asked.She bent and helped in packing the dirts on the floor so, it would be easier for me to mop."Thank you." I said instead of telling her my name."Since you are still in a bad mood, I will finish this and maybe later." She said and I didn't answer. She did as she said and left me alone.Quickly, I finished up and rushed to my room. It was my only safe shelter. Once I leave that room, something would surely bring tears to my eyes.My room's small windows let in the early light, which left the walls in deep shadows. The pain of shame from yesterday incident was still very fresh in my mind. The incident kept on replaying
LUPE'S POV After several hours, the loneliness was intolerable. My stomach started grumbling but, I wasn't served food or water. No one responded when I pleaded to even use the restroom. I eventually lost it, when it became impossible to hold, and the embarrassment of wetting myself just made me feel worse.Tears were streaming down my cheeks as I sat on the chilly floor and held my knees to my chest.'How did this happen?' I thought sourly. I never expected any of this. All I wanted was a peaceful existence. A mate who cherished me. An opportunity to feel cheerful. Garrett would have given me that life if it hadn't been for the Lycan king.Happiness, however, seemed like a distant perception, something that maybe, belonged to someone else.I said there theough the long day and the night freezing in cold. Nobody came to check on me, I felt like they've forgotten I even existed.The following morning, I was too weak to rise when the door finally opened. Two guards came in, frowning
Adrain's POVI kept drinking the whiskey I had previously poured in the glass cup on my desk, allowing the deep burn to melt into my throat. I could still hear the sound of the door shutting behind Lupe just after she left. For someone like her, she had the audacity to seek for freedom. Really?, it was really funny. I swirled the drink into my glass and grinned.I said, "Freedom, hahaha." Letting the word linger. She doesn't how foolish she sounded when, she thought I was ever going to release her. It was an annoying and a ridiculous idea. She believed she could control the conditions of her stay under my home and bargain with me. Wow, she is so naive to ever think of that in the first place.Her bluster was funny, but it also caught my attention. Poor Lupe, who was frail and unnoticed, seemed to be unable to comprehend the flames. Even when the flames are consuming her. Despite the fact that she looked terrified, I could see it in her eyes and sense it in the way she stood in front o
Lupe’s POVI was carrying a basket of cleaning materials to the back of the pack house when I felt the slight morning breeze on my skin. At least I was out of that damned room, even though my whole body still hurt from the day before. I had to force myself to get past the embarrassment of what had already happened which hung over me like a shadow. There was nothing I could do about the rumors and gossip that kept flying in the pack house. Upon my return, Sarah had already piled up a list of chores for me to accomplish with harsh tone which pierced my already jangled nerves. I could hear a slight buzz of chatter coming from the pack house as I was cleaning the stony stairs by the garden.I looked up for a moment, my eyes trailing the sound. As the Lycan King strode down the stairs, his massive frame creating a menacing shadow against the morning sun, my stomach churned. Two guards were walking on beside him on each side, their movements deliberate and well organized.I instinctively g
Adrian's POV I stormed into my chambers right after dismissing the meeting. Those people knew just how to push my buttons.I stood staring at my bed, her tears stained face filled my vision. Lupe.Her figure was slowly making me think of her, her body was intriguing, I could spend my whole day thinking of that body. She wasn't fat neither was she slim, her shoulders were wide as it should be and her upper calf was nicely shaped. Her waist were so tiny that I could wrap my arms around it twice, her wips then spread out proudly giving her an hour glass figure. Although she didn't like it, but whenever I touched those firm thick breasts, her eyes went behind her head in satisfaction as though she was begging me to touch them. Those rosy nipples stood tall begging to be pinched. Yet her body begged me to be delicate, to go slow to enjoy the uniqueness of that god given gift but I couldn't, I couldn't help but be in a hurry to take her."You have to come back later, the King is furious
Adrian's POV "Alpha, we were able to secure the borders of our territory, our resistance is tight and they are ready for any surprise attack." Cenat said, he was here to deliver the daily report."I see. Any report on those residing on the land for the construction?" I asked. Cenat took in a deep breath, "The two days you gave elapsed yesterday, yet, the men I sent returned with the same response." The paper in my hand became the object of my fury, I crumbled it without any ounce of mercy wishing they were the ones in my hand instead. "Which is?" I asked through gritted teeth.Those peasants have a way of fueling my anger without trying too hard. "They said, their fathers grew there, so the lands belong to them." I slammed my fist into the arm of my chair and a loud crashing noise filled the room. "They dare defy me?" My lips curled up in a deadly smile. "My Lord, I believe they are a little stubborn. I sent word that they would be compensated but they returned with words not
Lupe's POV Dave was really something, his eyes were twinkling with mischief as he stared at me."You really had me back there." I said returning his smile.My heart was warm, no one had ever stood up for me in that manner. Dave was like a messenger from the goddess to save me."I knew you'd be amazed." He was grinning as he sat on the wooden bench in the garden. "Are you serious about stripping Sarah of her position?" I asked suddenly feeling guilty as her flushed face flashed in my vision. Dave turned to me, "You sound as though you don't want me to." His expression was calm and endearing.As much as I despise both Sarah and Kyna and I was happy he had placed them right where they belonged, I felt a twinge of pity for them especially Sarah. Kyna's face was red with embarrassment. "And that felt so good." Leah mused with a hint of laughter in her voice. "Leah." I groaned trying to act at least a little sympathetic towards them. "Let's be nice." "Nice?" She scoffed, "They were ne
Lupe's POVIt was Dave, his facial features were knotted together, which was unusual, I was used to seeing just his smiles. "Greetings my Prince." They all bowed immediately and I followed."I asked a question, anyone care to explain?" He asked. Sarah went first, "T.. The breeder was running late to attend to her duties so I came to check what the problem was." Her words were rushed."And then what?" Dave urged her to go on not even sparing me a glance. "Lupe was rude to her." Kyna cut in. Dave turned to her with a monstrous glare on his face, who knew such sweet man had such kind of emotion in him, for a moment, he looked just like him- just like the Lycan king. "I didn't ask you to speak." He said before turning back to Sarah who gulped loudly. "What next happened?" He asked. "She didn't reply, I kept knocking but she refused to answer me." She said. "Why are the guards here then?" He asked gesturing to them.Sarah eyes landed on Kyna who shifted on her feet uncomfortably. "
Lupe's pov Tears filled my lids, it kept coming even when I willed it to stop, my eyes paid no heed. The beast had sworn to punish my disobedience and that was exactly what he did. I kept shivering no matter how hard I tried to cover myself, my lips quivered and my lips were chapped. My throat felt like the desert, I felt as though my entire body was on fire. My head kept banging non stop. "It's because you can't stop crying." Leah said. "I feel so humilated." I whispered into the wind. "That's why you should be up, planning how to teach that brute a lesson." Leah said. "What he did to us last night should never be forgotten." "I can't forgive him either." I murmured staring into space.Memories of the previous night plagued me, I wanted to tuck them to the back of my mind, never to be remembered but it was totally impossible. Each time I tried to move, my entire body protested in pain. I knew I had to push myself up, I had to get up and work, I knew I shouldn't give that brute
Lupe's pov"Hey you breeder!" The voice was harsh, it jolted me straight out of sleep."What do you want? It's late at night." I muttered my gaze flickering to the window. The night sky was dark, the moon was almost covered with the clouds, it could barely give her light. The nighy was mine, it was mine to do whatever I please, rest or anything I wish to do, stealing it from me would be so mean."The Lycan King summons you." The gruff voice of the guard said jolting me straight out of the bed. "W.. wha.. what is it you said?" I asked, my chest beating erratically. "Are you deaf?" Okay, he sounded really mad now."No I'm not." I replied with a sneer, I dreaded spending my night with the King yet, I knew the guard wouldn't hurt the King's meal just before the King eats. He released a heavy sigh, "the King wants you in his chambers." He said. Just like that, my night was stolen, it was another night to lie on my back and allow my captor have his way with me till he was satisfied. "
Lupe's POV "So tell me more about yourself." Dave was leaning on the door entrance watching me work. "I've told you everything about me already." I said trying to ignore the eyes on us. Ever since the day he asked to be my friend, he had been hanging out with me quite often. Not that I minded, but I had already drawn so much attention to myself by being the Lycan King's breeder and to make matters worse, I was an omega. Hence, being open friends with Dave is likely to attract more enemies than I wanted. "I mean not everything you do here in the palace, but everything about you, your family, your life before you became my brother's breeder." He said."There is nothing much to know about me, I was just an ordinary girl before your brother found me." I replied, there was a tight feeling in my chest, one that made me want to kneel on the ground and pour my heart out in bitter tears, but I would never give anyone the satisfaction of seeing me down and broken. I was going to be stronger
Lupe's POV "Lupe!" "Not now please." I groaned as I hurriedly shoved my stuffs inside the basket I was holding. I needed to get out of here before he caught up with me.Ever since that day in Fiona's room, he hadn't ceased being a thorn in my flesh."At least, admit you enjoy his company." Leah drawled inside my head. "I would only if he stops bugging me about that night." I whispered-yelled back at her. "Just tell him the truth already, it's not like you killed someone." She said in a voice that mimicked mine."It's not as easy as you think." I answered still struggling with the bag."What's so hard in admitting- oh hi, yes I was the one who saved your drunk butt the other day?" "I guess these things come naturally to you." I said shaking my head. "But come to think of it, I don't think he's a bad guy." She said."I don't think so too." I said affirmatively."Then why are you so scared?" She asked in curiosity, "What's the harm?""Listen Leah, this is a strange land, no matter
Adrian's POV The darkness kept swallowing me whole, the eerie voices in my head kept calling out to me."I curse you.. I curse you..."My eyes snapped open, my body was soaked in sweat and my throat was patched.I pushed myself out of bed, the dreams were becoming too frequent. The prophecy had said that the breeder was the only one to break the curse, she had been in the palace for a while now yet, nothing has changed.I gulped down the glass of water eagerly, yet it was helpless, I still felt so dried. I pushed open the window blinds, it was still very dark, the moon was hiding behind a huge mass of cloud. "Why does it have to be me?" I muttered closing my eyes. "Have you forgotten what led us to this position?" My wolf asked."If the curse can work, why can't the solution work too?" I asked, I could feel my blood pressure rising, I wanted to grab something and smash it so hard, I wanted to snap a neck, anything to ease this bottled up emotions inside me. "The breeder seems usel
