Chapter 5
ZARA'S POV "Oh shit!!", Luna yelled in terror when she caught sight of me staring at them fucking. Confused by what was happening, Kyle pushed Luna to see what was happening, and his eyes widened in shock at the sight of his girlfriend staring at them from the darkness. “Za... Zara, I can explain...", Kyle began to stutter as he frantically put on his boxers and jumped away from her I opened my mouth to yell in horror, but it felt like my tongue had somehow been tied, and the only thing I could do was stare from my tear-blurry eyes at the image of my own sister, naked and bouncing back on my boyfriend's dick. They were so deep in pleasure that they didn't even realize that someone was staring at them in the darkness for minutes. “Kyle?Luna?”. I managed to say as I watched them struggle to put on their clothes. Luna had a smug look on face. No wonder, she was not dining with us when that horrible Alpha was here and Kyle didn't tell me he was coming around today. I… I couldn't believe this! How long has this been going on? Why will Luna do this to me?. I always knew she hated me and also said I killed mum, But why Kyle? He was the only thing that gave me joy. I wanted to ask them all these but my mouth somehow remained shut. “Zara…”. Kyle began but i couldn't stand and listen to him, Instead i turned, and ran, heading straight to my room. This has got to be the worst day of my life. What was happening all of a sudden? My life just went from bad to worse. I cried fervently as I ran back to the place I was just trying to escape from. I passed a couple of people on my way there, but I didn't care, I just wanted to get to my room. I finally got there after what seemed like eternity, Shut the door behind me and fell face down on my bed crying as my world collapsed over me. I felt dizzy and was a few seconds away from giving in to darkness, but my ears twitched in high alert. My wolf could sense a presence in my room. Emerging from a far corner of the room, a silhouette slowly transforms into Asher. “Why are you here?” I frowned. I was surprised by the work out look on his face, but I prepared myself not to be fazed. Asher never had control over keeping his hands to himself, so I was sure he had come over to steal some of my stuff as always. “So Father sold you,and to no one else but Alpha Damon?” he started off, walking towards me slowly, “I'm so sorry.” I raised a brow. “Did you get hit in the head? Since when did you become …?” “Concerned?” Asher finished my question for me, still approaching me. In the blink of an eye, Asher grabbed me with a strength I could have sworn I never knew he had and threw me on my bed, his weight immediately pinning me down. “Well, I tried to be. For a few seconds.” “What are you doing?!” I asked, anxiety flooding my senses. Asher’s eyes roamed my body for a second, “I want to have a little taste of you before Alpha Damon comes.” “Asher, have you gone mad”.I couldn't help but ask, “Let go of me now” “No, No, you little murderer, You are all mine tonight”. He said with a devilish smile on his face. “From tomorrow, you can go on and be Damon’s whore” “Please, Asher, Don't do this, I'm your sister”. I kicked and trashed with all the strength I could muster, but Asher had enough power to keep me pinned down, his eyes hungrily staring at the whole of me. He brought both my hands above my head and pinned them down with a hand, his hand immediately groping my breasts. “Hmmm. You’ve got beautiful breasts Zara” He closed his eyes, savoring pleasure from fondling with them. “Please don't, I'm still a virgin.” I sobbed quietly, and suddenly, my wolf mind links to the guard who was always stationed outside the door to my room. “Hmm, Perfect”. Asher said, lust filling his eyes all over again. “Help me. Please,” I wept helplessly as I continued to struggle against Asher who kept tearing away at my dress. His hands roamed all over me, tracing them down my belly and to my underpants. Just then, the door burst open and I saw the guard walk in, his expression fierce. He was bewildered for a moment when he saw Asher, but he hesitated no further to send Asher flying across the room. Other guards matched in and seized Asher just before he had any chance of recovering. Almost immediately, the guard I mind-linked with rushed over to me, tore the cape off his armor and wrapped it around me. “You are safe now,” he reassured me, but I couldn't respond. I just rocked back and forth uncontrollably, clutching the cape tight as I wept silently. The guard saw the other guards through the door after Asher was dragged away. Not once did my father show up, and I couldn't care less. He had always been this way, and now, I was fully convinced he would never see me as his daughter. Neither will I consider him my father. I rocked myself back and forth, shivering on my bed at the thought of what just happened. I don’t know how long i stayed in that position, i don't know if i was waiting for anyone but no one came and i gradually drifted to sleep. ******** I jerked up as soon as my mind registered it was Morning. I checked the time and it was 9;30am “Shit!”. I jumped down the bed and instantly headed straight to the door, in fear at what Miriam would do to me for not making breakfast. I got to the kitchen but it was empty, it was then it registered to me that the castle was awfully silent this morning. I got to the Grand Entrance, looking around for the sights of anyone, but I was met with the eerie silence of the castle. “Where is everyone?” I thought aloud. Just then, I saw a knight approaching the palace. I scurried towards him, but he beat me by saying, “Please return to the castle, My Lady.” The guard said “What's going on? Where's my father? Where's everyone?” Like the universe was granting me a response, I heard the sound of a cry, and I instantly recognized it. “Father?!.” I relied on my wolf's instincts to track down where my father was. I first saw the car that once stood by my window and a new wave of fear gripped me. I doubled my pace, heading down to the sparring grounds. I stopped in my tracks when I saw the horror unfolding before me. Asher was strung up to a pillar the knights used as a training drill to hone their climbing skills in combat. His limbs were at an odd angle, and I could tell they were broken. His face was an ugly mess of blue and purple, his cheeks and lips swollen. My father laid on the floor, unconscious, and Alpha Damon was holding on to his collar. I screamed into nothingness, caring less about the approaching figure of Alpha Damon.Chapter 105Xavier’s POVI watched in fear as Riana left. She said thank you and just left. Her back turned to me, exposing her magnificent body. I knew she knew something, but not enough to conclude or figure out that I was planning an escape.There was something about the way she said thank you, the way she walked in and walked away so quickly. Her eyes had lost their light. They looked like two empty spheres in her wide eye sockets.She didn’t press hard when she asked if I loved her. She didn’t push herself toward me. I found it strange that she never asked for more sex after that day. She became an entirely different person. Changed. I should’ve worried more but I didn’t. I closed my eyes to it because I believed that anything keeping her away from me was a good thing.I’d be lying if I said I didn’t care at all, but I shoved that feeling aside because it was a distraction.That evening, I happened to be outside my room far from it. Thoughts of the wedding suffocated me. How easi
Chapter 104Xavier's POV“She knows!” Lucas burst into my room saying. It was evening when he came. Light was slowly leaving the sky as day transitioned to night. His face held worry in a way that warned onlookers not to look away—not to take his dreadful expression for granted.I was immediately alarmed by this. “What’s wrong?” I asked. The huge man was not much of a talker, I knew from the moment I met him, three days ago. I mean that I really met him three days ago—he had always been around, but we never had any need to speak to each other until we did.His head was balding but he still let it grow out, even though it showed at the trimming edges that formed deep cups that ate into the sides. It was only a matter of years,maybe a year,until all of his hair was gone, or at least most of it.I kept looking at his hair while we spoke, while I told him what I wanted him to do.“I just need you to give these to her. Nothing more,” I said to him. This was three days ago, while he was on
Chapter 103Riana's POVThe shameless look in Brownie’s eyes cleared any doubts I had before. This was her. This whole thing was her plan, her doing. She profited off my squabble with Zara like kings and country rulers profited by selling weapons to warring countries.Did I regret telling her she could have the dress? A slight moment of second guessing, rethinking my hasty decision to trust this scam of a girl with having any reasonable information. Potent weapons are sold by crafty leaders for future patronage, it was a business, just like my interaction with Brownie. She needed to be trusted for future deals, if there would be any, so she would offer only the best, most reliable news to me. This was my reasoning, my consolation as I pondered her trustworthiness.“He slipped a piece of paper between the door and a hand reached out to take it from him. No doubt the girl’s hand,” Brownie said, and I wondered why she referred to Zara that way. “The girl,” she said, and it angered me. I
Chapter 102.Riana’s POV.Two days until the wedding. I have forced myself to remain quiet and imposed sanity on my raging mind.Two weeks feel like forever when you are stuck in your room with thoughts of a man you are to marry and the woman trying to take him from you.Silence, even though my body ached for adventure and my heart longed for the extermination of a certain person. I have never felt such hate, such anger and jealousy because of a person, not even to the man that raped me as a child.My emotions towards him were conflicting to say the least. I do not know how I feel about the man that harassed me, tore my clothes and opened me up to a world I have come to enjoy. Maybe enjoyment is an overstatement because the thrill that comes with not being tied down to a man was exciting but at the same time the pleasure was satiable unfulfilling.I want to be tied down. I want to be loved by someone, by Xavier. Only two days now.Today is like any other day for the last two weeks, ex
Chapter 101Zara's POVThe intruder pushed again and the door shook but it was hinged too tight to be moved too far from its fixed point. I was too afraid to ask who it was so instead I crouched down on the floor and waited for the intruder to tire himself out and leave. I hoped he would leave.The knocking continued and after a minute or two I knew that he would not go away. Could it be that Alpha Damon was back to inflict more pain or he was going to finish me off properly this time?Each time the handle of the door moved, I felt my heart almost leave my chest. Like I was naked, I felt exposed. The only thing that separated me from the intruder was a door, a relatively small, wooden bathroom door."Open up Zara. It's me," the voice behind the door announced. I know that soothing low pitched voice. I'd recognise it anywhere. Its lustre was distinguishable even in the midst of confusion. Xavier's voice was calming.I opened the door, relieved to see him standing before me because part
Chapter 100Zara's POV"Where is it?" Loud footsteps came before the thunderous voice announced itself in the room and the tall, dark man appeared before me. A sense of danger immediately engulfed me. His deep blue eyes were marked with a hint of boiling red rage."Where have you hidden it?" He repeated himself, a rarity for the alpha of the Bloodmoon pack. His rage was apparent but something lay beneath it, masked and well hidden by the anger but I spotted it. It was one thing I knew too well, fear.Underneath the guise of anger was an intensifying fear. Alpha Damon was afraid. I was afraid. This foreign feeling would no doubt bring with it unpredictable actions. I had never seen Alpha Damon like this, I did not know what to expect, not like I did all the other times he burst in with rage but something was different about him this time, more dangerous."You better tell me where you have kept it," he said and started walking closer towards me. My heartbeat immediately quickened as he
