chapter 10

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.

Karen glared at him with all the hatred she could muster. She scoffed in anger. "I can't believe this man." She hissed under her breath. She struggled against Nicolas. But his hold on her was tight.

"And be back quickly." Kai said with a dismissive wave.

"Yes, of course." Nicolas said. He turned to Karen. "You never listen, do you?"

Karen wanted to punch him. "Not chance in hell."

Nicolas sighed. "Why do I have to deal with this?" He mumbled to himself, just loud enough for her to hear.

Karen rolled her eyes.

He pushed her forward, urging her to walk. She tried to make a break for it but he was faster and simply grabbed her arm and dragged her behind him.

"I can walk!" She shouted. "Let me go!"

"Not a chance in hell." He said back to her.

The throne room opened and another scout walked in. Nicolas dragged Karen through the back door. His hold on her arm didn't let up one bit as he dragged her through the halls, not even struggling when she tried to dig her heels into the ground.

Karen felt embarrassment burn on her face. Being treated like a child and dragged through the halls like a common criminal felt very insulting to her.

"There she is! That bitch!" A loud voice screeched. Nicolas paused.

Ahead was Verena, storming up to them angrily. Her hair flowed around her like a river of fire. Her brows were furrowed in anger, a snarl on her lips.

"You!" She said to Karen, reaching out and grabbing her hair. Karen cried out in pain, feeling her strands of hair being pulled out.

"Not again!" Karen groaned and grabbed Verena's hand. Verena's long finger nails dug into her scalp and pulled blood. It hurt a lot.

"You think you're so hot now, don't you?" Verena scoffed, tightening her hold in Karen's hair. "How dare you! How dare you try to worm your disgusting way into our alpha's life?!"

"Verena," Nicolas said calmly. "You should go back to your room. Alpha wouldn't be very pleased to see you--"

"Shut up, Nicolas." Verena sneered at him, her golden eyes flashing anger.

Nicolas raised his hands in surrender. Verena turned back to Karen and pulled her up to face her. Karen spat in her face. Verena reeled back, crying out.

"You disgusting bug!" She screamed. "How dare you...I'll have you punished for this!"

Karen straightened herself, rubbing her head sorely. "What did I do?!" She shot back. "You nearly killed me back there!"

"He nearly killed me too!" Verena screamed back. "Do you have any idea the punishment I had to endure because of you?!"

Karen scoffed. "Like I care."

Verena suddenly became very calm. She walked up to Karen and looked her straight in the eye.

"You are disgusting, having the most disgusting blood in your veins." She said coldly. "You have no idea how much my alpha has suffered because of you. How much he continues to suffer--"

"Verena," Nicolas said, a warning not in his voice.

"Can it," Verena snapped at him. Her eyes were trained on Karen, narrowed dangerously. "You will suffer for all the pain you and your father have caused him. Even if I have to do it personally. Do not think that because you are his mate, that you will go free."

Karen stared at Verena, and she couldn't describe the emotions she was feeling.

"And I can assure you," Verena said and chuckled darkly. "Nothing I did to you back there will compare to what he is going to do to you."

Karen felt fear. Kai had said something similar. Verena had a crazed look on her face. She laughed bitterly, her eyes flashing.

"You will suffer." She hissed.

"Verena, that's enough now." Nicolas said sternly. "Unless you want another punishment."

Verena shuddered and backed away form Karen. "Because of a low life slave I was punished by my alpha. Do not think I will ever forgive this." She said and turned sharply, disappearing down the hall.

Karen was shocked. Did Kai punish Verena?! Why?!

"Now you," Nicolas said and grabbed her arm. He threw a room open and pushed her in. "Wait here." He said and slammed the door.

Karen sank to the floor, her heart racing wildly. All this because her father chose the wrong person to mess with.

She scoffed. "Like hell I'd forgive any of you."

She sat on the floor, her mind racing. Eve had been captured. Eve was one of her father's most trusted warriors. If anyone knew anything about exactly what her father did to Kai, it would be Eve. Karen sighed heavily. Talking to Eve was going to prove to be a Hassel

The door opened and she instantly got to her feet. Kai walked into the room, and her heart filled with fear.

He looked absolutely menacing. The door was too small he had to bend his head and enter. He was still dressed in his robes from the throne room. His long hair flowed down his back and shoulders. His eyes burned with anger. He looked so handsome, and yet so dangerous.

In that moment, Karen wanted to run.

Karen didn't realize she had been stepping back till her back hit the wall. She turned to run but he grabbed her by the hair and pulled her body to him. Her back was pressed to his front, and she could feel his trained muscles through the layers of his clothing. In her muddled state of mind, she thought to herself that his warmth felt nice against her back.

"You have been getting on my nerves lately." He said in her ear, his hot breath fanning her earlobe and making goosebumps erupt over her skin.

"What did you expect? I'd sit still and obey you?" Karen scoffed. "you're nothing to me."

He dragged her hair harder, making her Yelp out in pain. "I really really want to know how long this sharp mouth of yours will last."

"I also want to--" Karen trailed off. She felt a new kind of warmth against the back of her thighs, one that filled her with fear. She began to struggle, trying to move away from him. "No! No! Let me go! Dammit!"

He held her head and pushed her into the wall. Karen thought she must be imagining it, but there was a crack from the wall. Pain exploded in her head, a blood curling scream escaping her lips.

"What was that?" He said, his voice mocking.

Her blood ran cold as he bunched her gown up at her hips, pushing her underwear to the side. Karen was filled with painful memories of the last time he touched her. It was not something she wanted to recall, talk less of experiencing it again.

"Not so mouthy now, are you?" He said.

She felt blood trickling down her head form where he pushed it into the wall. She bit her lip hard as she felt the swollen head of his cock pressing against her opening. The sheer size of it filled her heart with dread. And she hadn't even seen it.

"Just kill me...." She whispered in defeat, going slack in his hold.

"That's too merciful for you." He said simply. "You can scream if you want. It won't ruin anything."

Karen bit her lip so hard till she tasted blood. He thrust into her, his cock scraping her insides and lighting a fire inside her.

She couldn't control her scream. She could hardly believe the voice that left her lips was hers. Her Brian went blank for a moment, the pain going straight to her head. She tried to move her hips away, break free and run for it.

He gripped her hip so hard she felt skin bleed. There wasn't a single sound out of him as he started moving, not for a moment giving her any time to adjust to his monstrous size or even catch her breath.

Karen cried silently, her head hanging forward. The blood was blinding her. She felt a liquid trail down her thighs that she was sure was blood.

And all the while he pounded into her, like she was a meat sack.

His hand moved to her neck and squeezed. Her eyes went wide, her cries unable to leave her lips.

"I haven't even started with you yet," Kai said in her ears, his voice the voice of man who had just finished reading a book. He pushed her head into the wall harshly and pulled out of her.

Karen fell to the ground, her body twitching and trembling.

She heard his footsteps receding. She curled up into a ball and cried.

The second time. The second time he took her and he didn't even finish.

It scared her to think about it, but somehow it hurt even more that he was too disgusted by her to even finish.

She hugged herself and wept till her voice died and came back.
