"You're not my Mate, but my worst enemy!" He shouted, his angry voice booming all over the room as it shooked her and send cold shivers running down her spine, if she had always described her father voice as being too strict, his way more than her father's.
Even with his cold voice, she still managed to courageously looked at his voice, his face was looking at her with hatred written all over him like she was some sort of natural disaster or forbidden disease. The hatred she had always seen in her father's eyes was nothing compared to how scary his eyes looked.
Karen was dumbfounded, she wonderered what was it that she had done that had made him hated her that much.
"W-why am I your enemy? " She found herself asking out of the blues, her body was still shaking with fear, and she wondered where she had the courage to speak up.
A pause as the room suddenly went quiet, Karen was curious to know how she ended up as his worst enemy when she hadn't by chance met him or offended him in anyway aside from that day. He'd was the one that had offended her by picking his fiancee over her, his destined mate.
She observed his features and noticed that he was battling with keeping his emotion in check.
Karen wondered what it was that he wanted to say that was this painful for him to say, from how gravely his face had became, Karen could tell that he was battling with some dark past.
"Your father... " He finally spoke up In a voice as deep as the ocean and then paused, grinding his teeth together, his Jaw clenched as his muscle twitched.
Even from his princely robe, Karen could tell that he had a well muscled body. She imagined how it'd look likes and feel, and for some odd reasons she found herself craving to run her hands through it.
"Your father, Killed my parents and made me an orphan at a young age" Karen gasped once he had spilled out the reason why she was his enemy, she'd was batting with believing him in her head, she knew her father to be ruthless, but not to the point of killing his parents.
"I doubt that, You know nothing about my father, You must be mistaken! " she defended, narrowing her gaze to meet with his as her eye searched for some truth in what he'd had just voiced out.
Alpha Kai scoffed, he walked closer to where she sat, an action which made Karen shifted back, but he kept coming closer till her back rested against a hard suface, and then she knew that she couldn't escape him again as she rested her head against the wall preparing her mind against the worst.
Alpha Kai bent his face closer to her, his wolf was tugging at him that he should stop threatening their mate, but he didn't give a damn. After he had rejected her in their pack, his wolf had gone silent on him blaming him for choosing his fiancee over his mate. Heaven knows that it wasn't his intention at first, infact he'd had been so happy when he had spotted, he had every plan of marking her and taking her to his pack, not until he discovered that she was his enemy daughter then he had to reject her ignoring the several pleas of his wolf. Hr can't take a murderer's daughter as his mate! Even though his wolf wasn't pleased with him, he was ready to get through any kind of punishment from his wolf than marking her! Cold revenge runs through his vein and be wouldn't stop until he had gotten his revenge in it's highest peak, killing her father can't justify the pain he went through, he would make his offspring suffer as much as be did. That was a vow he had made while he was growing up.
"Seems daddy didn't tell his little angel about his dirty deed" he smirked and then pulled some lock of hairs that had fallen across his face backward, an action that caught Karen interest as she became fully concentrated in observing his every features than musing over his words.
She wondered how someone could be this dangerously handsome like he was, she'd was obsessed with staring at his eyes and for some moment, she could swear that she saw him looked at her tenderly just the same way he had done earlier that day at her pack, his savage look was gone and what was written bodly on his face was a man that was deeply attracted to his mate and couldn't wait to claim her.
But suddenly he pulled back and his face was replaced back with his savage look, Karen wished he could just look at her that way for some time longer.
"Bring them in! " he commanded which made Karen wondered who he'd was bringing in.
In a blink of a second, she saw her father confidants being brought inside, they were two in number.
Alpha Kai commanded them to testify about her father's dirty deed years ago, and they'd affirm that it was true, they even had the guts to lie against her that she was just as vicious as her father when she was being treated as nothing more but a slave in her own father's pack.
"I'm not vicious! Don't you dare lie against me! Have you forgotten how I get maltreated, whipped and punished for some crime? And you dare lie against me? " Karen defended herself, she had to learn to stand up for herself. She watched as guilt appeared in their faces.
"If you're making up this to earn my pity, then I must have you know that you are just a pathetic liar like your father! " Alpha Kai spat down at her, he didn't believe any of her story.
"It's a bad luck that I have been given a vicious mate as you by the moon goddess! " the word burn through Karen's heart.
However, she pleaded with him crying that she had nothing to do about her Father's heinous crime, but he paid deaf ears on her pleas, he dismissed the confidants and called for his Beta.
Alpha Kai looked down at her with disdain, he couldn't believe he had been attracted to someone as vicious as she was before, he thought her to be as heartless as her father and he swore to treat her even more worse than a slave.
He beckoned on his Beta, it was time he showed her the suprise package her father presented to him years ago, and just as he expected his Beta brought in the box and he ordered for her to open the box, while he smirked.
Karen obeyed as she fumbled with the box wondering what was inside that he'd had her ordered to open it. As the box went open Karen's scream pierced through the dungeon reveberating back in her ears.
Her body shivered so badly as her face turned pale white.
Chapter four: the sins of the father****Karen screamed, throwing the bloody box in her hands away. The sight of her father's severed head played over and over in her mind's eyes, his pale lifeless skin, his bulging eyes threatening to explode out of his head, the expression of pure horror and anguish on his face. The box fell to the ground and her father's head rolled out, his lifeless eyes staring at her.Karen's knees felt weak and she collapsed to the cold hard ground, her trembling bloodstained hands coming up to her mouth, small pained gasps escaping her lips. Tears clouded her vision as she stared at what was left of her father. Not once in his life did her ever show her that he loved her, not once had she ever imagined the last time she saw him to be like this. "Are you scared?" Kai's voice reached her ears, mocking and cold. He came and stood in front of Karen, crouching down to her eye level. Karen raised her head and met his cold eyes, eyes that held no atom of emotion."Y
Chapter five: let me goKai paced the floors of his room, running his hands through his hair. The feeling of restlessness in his body was further amplified by his wolf silently judging him. As much as he wanted to ignore it, the mate bond was sparking a fiery pain in his chest for hurting his mate."You don't get to judge me!" He roared. His wolf kept quiet, not saying anything. But he could feel the silent judgment it shot at him.Kai refuses to believe that that girl wasn't like her father. She looked exactly like the man. She has his blood in her veins. The apple didn't always fall far from the tree.Yet he couldn't deny the stinging pain in his chest. He never believed in the mating bond or fated mates. He never wanted one in the first place, much less now his fated mate was the daughter of his mortal enemy.Kai paced the floors restlessly, his heart thumping in his chest. It hadn't even been ten minutes he got back from the dungeon, and all he wanted to do was to go back and pul
Chapter six: a taste of hellKaren's eyes were wide as she stared into the endless abyss that was Kai's eyes. So many questions ran through her mind all at once.Why did he stop her?What was wrong with him?Why was her heart beating so hard?Why was her skin tingling and burning where he touched her?She began to thrash and struggle against him. He released her, rising to his feet as if he had touched something filthy. Karen rushed out of the bed and raced to the nearest corner, pressing herself into it as much as she could."What are you trying to do?!" Karen said, fear lacing her voice. "What is even wrong with you?! You hate me so damn much and you won't even break the mating bond between us! What exactly do you....""Strip." Karen suddenly heard the unexpected, the one word silencing her as she froze."W-what?" "A word of caution, I do not repeat myself."Karen stared at Kai. She scoffed, a bitter laugh escaping her lips. "Strip?!" She shouted. "Who do you think you are to order
Chapter seven: my darkness, my light'That's enough from you! I've left her alone!'Abraxas, his wolf paced angrily, it's eyes flashing silver. It hadn't spoke a word, but Kai could feel the pain blooming in his chest. It made him restless and even more angry. Pain, he hadn't even show her a tenth of the pain he had suffered at her father's hand. Kai went and took a cold shower, hoping it would help calm his nerves down. He could hear Karen's cries reverbating in his ears. He could still feel her body trembling under the force of his hands. He had hoped that inflicting pain on her would make him feel better. "Fuck " He hissed, punching the bathroom wall. The tiles broke under the weight of his palm. He didn't feel better at all. Not for any reason. Someone came up behind him, their hands snaking around his mid riff."What has you so worked up?" A soft feminine voice whispered. Kai felt some of his tenseness dissolve. "Verena," he said and took her hand in his. "What are you doi
Chapter eight: freak of natureWow! Nicolas, are you seeing this?" Verena said, clapping in excitement. Blood stained her clothes and face, none of which was hers. In front of her was a half conscious Karen, her clothes torn and bloody from the number of times the corded whip had torn into her skin."Yes, I am." Nicolas replied coolly, his eyes scanning Karen's form."She's like some sort of cockroach." Verena said in awe, her liquid gold eyes observing Karen. She turned to Nicolas and said: "I think she's about to die though, soon we'll have a dead cockroach on our hands.""Oh dear," Nicolas said with a soft laugh. "I don't think alpha Kai would like that very much."Verena giggled. "Oops."Karen felt her entire body on fire. Her breaths came out short and hard. She raised her head up and stared at Verena and Nicolas.Verena looked like an angel, but she was a cold hearted devil. Karen had lost track of time, she wasn't sure how long it had been since Verena had started her little 's
Chapter nine: just how ruthlessKaren had a dream. A dream of her father, and the mother she had killed coming into the world."A girl?!" Her father shouted as the mid wife presented the bloody bundle to him. "Your child, alpha." The midwife said. Grown up Karen watched, feeling light as a feather as her father took one look at baby Karen and hissed in anger. "That thing is no child of mine! She wasn't supposed to be born! How can my heir be a girl?! It's unheard of! It's unnatural!"The midwife took a look at the baby girl. She was quiet, her eyes barely open, a serene look on her face. Oblivious to the world she had just come into, oblivious to the hatred her father had for her.Suddenly her father turned and looked straight at Grown up Karen."How is life now, you mother killing freak?" He barked, his face contorted in anger. He charged at her, claws drawn and ready to tear her apart.Karen's eyes flew open. A bucket of ice water was thrown on her making her Yelp and sit up insta
Chapter ten: talk back to me"Alpha, you still have other meetings with the scouts." Nicolas said, watch as Kai grabbed Karen by her hair and rose to his feet. Karen voice pierced through the room, hitting Kai hand and trying to break free. Nicolas found it amusing. It looked like a bug fighting a lion."How many more of them do I have to attend?" Kai asked, his voice unfazed by Karen's struggling."Let me go! Dammit!" Karen screamed, her voice booming through the empty throne room. "About five more." Nicolas said. "Supposed there are no more interruptions from them."Kai glanced at Karen. He dragged her up and peered into her face. "Be quiet." He said, his voice filled with animosity.Karen glared at him, but her lips were shut. Kai turned to Nicolas. "Take care of this." He said and tossed Karen at him. Nicolas caught her , his eyes narrowing at Kai."And what should I do with her?""Hello?! I'm like, right here?!" Karen yelled."Lock her up or something." Kai said dismissively.
Chapter eleven: painfulKaren crept through the dungeons as silently as she could, searching for Eve. She held a bundle close to her chest, inside was bread and some water she had managed to sneak out of the kitchen when Inez wasn't being a bitch and breathing down everyone's neck."Princess?" A voice whispered sternly. Karen paused and crept back to the cell she had walked past. "Eve!" She whispered, a smile spreading on her face. "I've been looking for you!" "What are you doing here?" Eve said, she looked around, her eyes flashing alarm. "If they find you here they'll hurt you."Karen felt her heart break as she started at Eve. She looked like a ghost of herself. Her hair was ashy, and her skin was pale. There were cuts on her face, and as much of her body as Karen could see was littered in bruises.It hurt her to see the most powerful warrior she knew reduced to a shell of herself."They hurt you..." Karen whispered, tears filling her eyes."Princess," Eve said with a soft laugh.
