DARIUS
She did, with so much effort, kick me in the no-go area. Her job was to pleasure my cock, but instead, she plans on destroying it. I took her back to the hall, my council members sat in their designated seats, murmuring and gawking. I had instructed them to sit still while I left to find Juliette. Their rowdy behavior was the reason she got out in the first place. I had been trying to play it subtle, but she didn't deserve it. Now I was going to fully humiliate her. I returned to my seat, pulled her by the collar, she fell to her knees next to me, and we became the centre of attention. I stared around the room catching a few lustful gazes tossed in Juliette's way. I didn't blame them. She was undeniably sexy in the deep, dark slip dress that hugged her pale frame in all the right ways, her bare back on display. My collar remained in place. I handpicked this dress and I hoped she would feel the eyes upon her. I wanted her to burn with realization. The tightness of her shoulders proved me right. Her anger remained fresh. “Pour my drink.” I commanded and she glanced up, green eyes squinting. "Juliette, "I repeated, "Pour. My. Drink.” She stood up and turned to me, not towards the bottle, forcing a smile, she said boldly, “Perhaps for once you should have your own hands do it.” The room froze, chatterings paused mid-air. All council members stared at her… then at me. They were waiting to see if the beast would roar. I didn’t. I just smiled, stood up, and jerked her by the collar. She inhaled sharply, but didn't fight it. Not this time. The room was silent, “Dismissed!” I barked the order and they all scurried out like they were being chased. As soon as everyone dispersed, I pulled the chains, walking out of the hall, through the room-sized, arched doorway. Her shoes dragged as I pulled her next to me. I believe she didn't demand to know where we were headed, she already knew. I kicked the door to my room open and pushed her in. I closed the door behind me. “ Though I made it clear,” I said softly, focusing on her, “ First you attack me, then you defy me in public .” She swallowed, her chest visibly heaving with each breath she took. I stepped closer. “You embarrassed me tonight? Do you really think that little show made you strong?” I gave her a tap on the head and brushed her hair off her face. “I told you what would happen if you forced me into this.” She turned her face away. So I took her jaw, forcing her to look at me. “You have some nerves,” I murmured. “ A chronic debtor as yourself, you dare rest my patience with arrogance? I will punish you, Juliette Hales, I will crush you and your pride. I will make you regret the day you were born to a man like your father. “I already do.” She replied, tears filling her eyes. I returned to my bed and nodded at her. “Strip.” She opened her mouth in protest, but my facial expression gave no room for argument. “Now,” I said. Slowly, her fingers traveled toward the straps. She worked them down, a few inches at a time; it was evident in her motions that she didn't want this, and it pleased me. The gown fell to the lower floor, exposing her plump breast, pink nipples protruding. Her skin looked clean and soft to the touch. I lowered my gaze to her freshly shaved V. My mind wandered what her middle would look like. “Come,” I said, tapping on the bed space. In slow strides, she walked over to the bed and sat in the space I intended for her. I placed one hand on the arc of her shoulder and traced it to the hollow of her back. Ever so slightly, she tried to shrug my hand off. "You know what I see when I look at you, Juliette?" I inquired, kissing down the edge of her collarbone, holding her in place to avoid any further movement. “Resistance,” I whispered. “So much of it. But under all that pride, your body is just waiting for permission to surrender.” She sucked in a breath as she couldn't push me away. I dragged my lips across her skin, lowering my mouth to her chest, placing a hot, leisurely kiss over her body. She tensed up even harder with every inch I took. I eased her back against the bedframe and made my way over her, giving her a sense of dominance in each move I made. Her breathing quickened. She stared at me, wild and confused. I could sense her walls starting to crumble. I stole her lips in a long, deep kiss, teasing her with my tongue. She stiffened under my grasp, but I ignored it, as my fingers cupped the bracket around her jaw to hold her in position. She didn’t return my kiss at first but then … she did. It was slurpy like that of an amateur. She let out a low moan from her throat, her body arching, lips parting. I drew back long enough to whisper against her skin, “ I know you want to fight me, push me away, slap me hard across the face. But you can't, because your body won't let you.” This was my plan, nothing other than spiking her desires, and asking her to crave me in ways she had dared not think about. This was the punishment, and I was just getting started. I took my time, my hands gripping her hips, driving her wild with each caress and movement. Her moans were initially soft, almost imperceptible, and I could feel them down to my mouth. Her whole body flushed under my touch, desperation building. My hands traced every part of her body and they settled right in the middle of her core. It was wet, welcoming to my fingers. Juliette looked away, ashamed by the discovery I made. “Wet already? But I haven't even started.” I chuckled, parting her core lips and slipping my hand in. My body jerked at the feel of the warmth in her core. I could feel my dick rise under the pressure. I bit my lips, surprised my body was acting up. This was supposed to be just her, and it was going to continue as so. I continued with my fingers, moving at a slow pace. Juliette couldn’t hold back her moans; they grew louder at the thrust of my fingers, and her cock hardened. I feared it would snap in my pants. Juliette grabbed my hand, her eyes wet from tears, “Please, that's enough.” She gasped, and I laughed. She was on the edge, I could feel it, her core swelled beneath my fingers. The moment she had chosen to surrender, I was supposed to help relieve her, but this was her punishment, and she had to face it without me. I pulled back, wiping my fingers on the sheet, her breath was ragged, her body shivering. I towered over her, my eyes trained on the collar she still wore around her neck. And I smiled. “You can leave.”JULIETTEThe celebration ended in a jiffy, apparently, some of the noblemen had secured strong alliances for their daughters with the neighboring packs, basically selling them off for so-called peace.The thought of it didn't sit well with me, but who am I to judge? My father didn't even offer me for marriage, instead, he gave me up as collateral for his foolish debts. So maybe those rich ladies had it better than I do.Still, they deserved the right to choose because it is their future at stake. Betrothal was so old-fashioned, yet Darius seemed to cling to everything of the past, probably obsessed with the sick cultural practices of the then Alphas.What he didn't know was that we needed change, from ourselves to the entire pack at large.As the nobles began to disperse, Cole showed up, and it actually slipped my mind that he wasn't present all this time, and just how he showed up when the celebration ended.“Alpha Darius.” He bowed the moment he stopped before Darius. “Can I speak w
JULIETTEI thought after confronting Darius, he would think of some sick punishment to subject me to, but instead, he sent a guard to unbind and carry me back to my room.Again, Stacy and Ria found their way into my life. Somehow, they were assigned to properly bathe and clothe me. Ria also brought back the meal from earlier, but it wasn't stale, it was steamed back to perfection.I didn't refuse their help this time, I needed the break from acting all strong, so I ate as much as I could. Each dish ended up neatly wiped off the plate, and they watched, which I cared less about.“We are really sorry, Juliette,” Ria said as she cleared the table, while I emptied the cup of water in my mouth.I swallowed and wiped my mouth. “Do you still have the ointment?” I asked, ignoring the flimsy apology they were tossing my way.“Yeah,” Stacy said, reaching into her pocket and pulling it out. She placed it in my hand and I opened the bottle and took little portions of the oil, dabbing my bruised a
JULIETTEI had never in my years of living imagined what it would truly feel like to be a slave. Not just being given off as collateral, or meeting a Psycho Alpha that craves to see you break, and beg for mercy. Not those kinds of slave treatments. No.It was the kind that Darius subjected me to for seven long days. It was the unyielding links of large, heavy, and thick cold metal locked around my legs and arms, and then tightly secured to the walls of his chambers displaying me off like an animal.It was watching the iron dig into my wrist and ankle, rubbing against them until they blistered and broke my skin open.It was the heavy weight of metal dragging me down and interfering with my respiratory system, making it hard to breathe.It was the fact that I learned comfort wasn't an option for me, that I could only sit with my back pressed against the wall and my legs bent to the side, or lie on the cold marble floor where my body ached and then grew numb over time.It was realizing t
JULIETTE My sleep was disrupted by the not-so-dismissive itch that dwelled under my arm. I rubbed my body against it, but it only made it worse.I snapped my eyes open, annoyance setting in, the room was silent, too silent, and each move I made sounded louder than normal.I could still feel the heavy weight of the metal chains pressed against my leg; however, something felt different. My hands felt lighter. I glanced down, and to my utter surprise, the chains were gone. Darius must have taken it off while I was still sound asleep.Now that my hands were set free, I sat up, doubling my strength to pull up my bound legs. The effort made me breathless, but it felt good to move my body again.I glanced across the room, and it was empty. Darius was nowhere to be seen. A sick and unsettling part of me felt disappointed that he wasn’t there, but I brushed off the thought immediately, reaching for my legs. I noticed how raw and red my feet looked, and my toes pricked with numbness.I lay ba
JULIETTEThe silk beneath me was soft against my skin, nothing like I had ever felt or seen. It was Darius’s spreadsheet, a luxury that seemed to have a trick of its own, trying to lure me into forgetting what I truly was, but the cold chains around my ankle and wrist served as a cruel reminder of what I was…A captive.I tried to sleep comfortably as I had bragged to Darius, but my body refused peace, my shoulders ached after just an hour of lying on this bed. I couldn't twist or turn on the bed, even when my body screamed at me to move.It was pure torture, lying on a comfy mattress, and surrounded by soft sheets. Darius had struck again, making me uncomfortable as hell, but I refused to surrender, not tonight, not ever.I closed my eyes, steadying my breath. I needed to do something to calm my restless mind and fall asleep. In the quiet moment, I recalled a lullaby my mother used to sing while she was alive. It was her best trick in putting me to sleep, and each time I tried to lea
DARIUSI watched the omega servants, who were victims of debts just like Juliette, but silent and obedient, bathe Juliette in my jacuzzi. Her face was scrunched up in distress, and it filled me with satisfaction. As soon as the servants were done bathing her, they dried her up and draped her in a wine colored silk maxi dress I had chosen earlier. They bathed her in my cologne as I had instructed. After which Juliette was led to a chair I had placed in the centre of my chamber. She sat down under my instruction, her brows creasing into a frown.She didn't speak, or struggle, but only because she was unaware of my plans.I snapped my fingers, and the servants fetched the wooden trunk from my desk. They placed it close to Juliette's chair and proceeded to stand aside, awaiting further orders.“Leave,” I commanded, and with silent bows, they exited the room.I left the position I had been standing in, approaching her. She shifted in her seat but did not attempt to run away.Afraid, ye
