Cora’s POVThe limp in my leg as I left Kai’s chambers made it unbelievably painful to walk but I refused to wince in pain as I did and I took solace in the fact that my wolf would soon heal the sore spots and scars I’d gotten from having my legs bound in chains for almost an entire day.But ultimately I was elated that it had not been in vain since Kai didn't do the one thing I was scared that he would do when I lied about how I had gotten into his room; search me. At least because of that i still had his royal seal that I had stolen tucked securely under my maid apron. I smiled as I thought of that little accomplishment and before I could dwell on the joy of my narrow escape any further, I felt an odd presence around me.It suddenly felt like someone had been following me from when I left Kai’s chambers and I felt uneasy as I turned around to see who it could’ve been.And of course, it was none other than Kai’s asshole of a beta.He’d conveniently joined the list of people I hated
Kai’s POV“We can't find it anywhere, and we've turned your room upside down a couple of times” Levi gave me the bad news about the royal seal for the hundredth time that morning.“Fuck!” I muttered under my breath and rose to my feet in frustration.“I’m in no mood to offer an apology to these dignitaries that have traveled from far and wide to be here, so handle this and reschedule the meeting somehow” I whispered to Levi right before I stormed out of the meeting hall.Immediately I got outside, I roared out, “Guards!!!”In the blink of an eye, all the guards that were positioned close enough to hear my voice rushed to where I was and stood at attention.“Find me my royal stamp in every nook and cranny of this damn palace in the next hour or one of you dies with every extra half hour that passes until it's in my palms!” I barked orders at them and walked off as they scrambled to look for it.I made my way to the dining hall and tried to get into my breakfast but the only thing I fel
Cora’s POVAs I walked out of the dining hall with Kai’s release on my dress, I momentarily felt a cloud of shame as the guards gawked at me like fresh meat. Their backs had been turned away from us while Kai rudely fucked my mouth, but the moment his command echoed in the empty hall as he sent me out of his sight, they took the cue that he was done and turned around to stare at the mess I was.I could distinctively pick up the scents of their arousal while I was being dominated and it hadn’t diminished one bit up until the second I crossed the threshold of the dining hall’s doors. Even after I crossed that hurdle of eyes, I was met with more guards outside who must’ve overheard the entire ordeal and their arousal was just evident as that of the other guards, which made me wonder if all men were fucking dense and controlled by the tool between their legs.When I noticed that feeling shame wouldn't do me any good, I mentally shrugged it off and put on a bold face as I strutted past th
Cora’s POVIn a rare alignment by the universe, Nina who I’d just thought of as an integral part of my plan had come to me of her own volition. That had to be a sign, a fucking good one at that.I quickly unlocked my once bolted door and pulled her in before I pushed it closed behind her. I’d acted that way only because I couldn't imagine being face to face this soon with those degenerate assholes that called themselves guards and their rude cat calls.“Are you okay, is your uh....” She scratched the back of her head nervously and I watched her with confusion etched on my face, wondering what she was worried about.“Your mouth. Is it okay? I was there when Alpha Kai punished you and it sounded really....” She fumbled with her fingers as she searched for the words.I looked at her with amusement written all over my face because little did she know that in some twisted way, a part of me had enjoyed being punished so she didn't need to walk on non-existent shells around me concerning the
Cora’s POV3am.My eyes flung wide open and I knew that it was participation for the day ahead that had caused my body to jolt awake at such an odd hour of the morning. I looked to my side and Nina was draped under the sheets and snoring lightly with the pencil from the night before lightly clutched between her fingers.I stretched enthusiastically and pushed myself out of bed because I had an extremely important day ahead; one where I’d finally rid the world of an abominable tyrant’s reign of terror. I made my way to the bathroom and rushed through my bath and did same with my dressing up as well, mostly because I needed to get more familiar with the map before I set out for the library’s archives.After I was fully dressed, I grabbed the map and muttered intelligible words as I studied the routes I needed to memorize. I paced up and down and carefully went over all the details of the operation that I and Nina had finalized on after staying up past midnight until I was satisfied with
Kai’s POVI heard all of it.From the little “clank” sounds as she moved through the metal tunnels, to the little clank that the tunnel covering had made when she’d pushed it open, but at first I didn't know she was the one approaching me.I’d first of all heard the ceiling creak unusually and as a light sleeper that was also ridden with an inability to sleep without nightmares, I woke up instantly. At that point, I had no idea who was there but I didn't make a peep because I was eager to meet the rascal that dared to sneak up on me at night.However, when the she got closer to the edge of the tunnel, I picked up her unmistakable sent immediately and I realized that no one else asides from her would dare to pull off such a foolish scheme.The moment she moved toward me, I heard the unmistakable sound of an extremely sharp knife being pulled out from a sheath and I knew that she’d planned to finally exert her revenge by killing me.Despite knowing that I didn't move, I decided to remai
Cora’s POVI felt extremely light head from having my mouth roughly fucked while I was hanging upside down, but I also felt strangely excited about it— it being how he’d treated me and I didn't understand why my body was betraying me once again.My emotions were raging wildly as I mentally scolded myself.All of those emotion eventually stirred up a familiar hate and disgust in the pit of my stomach as usual. Morbid couldn't even begin to describe how irritated I was with myself that I was aroused by the man I just failed to kill.Shit, my failed mission.In that very moment, I realized that I’d failed to kill Kai despite how hard I’d worked toward it, how determined I was, how carefully I’d done every step, how much I’d rejoiced that I’d finally avenge my pack.A feeling of sheer pain and disappointment in myself suddenly stabbed me in my chest and I thought I’d lose my shit, in fact I was eager to take out my pain on something or someone else before it overwhelmed me.But there was
Cora’s POVIt's been days.Four long days since I’d been in the torture room after I was caught red handed trying to kill Kai, and I hated him more every passing second. My wolf was incredibly weak from the silver chains I was bound in, but she used every morsel of strength she could gather to slowly heal my bruises so I would pass out after a while from losing blood.My hands were tied behind me on a chair and I was fed water like an animal once every day, instead of being left without food or water like he usually preferred.I wondered if he was growing soft on me or he just wanted to keep me alive longer so he could torture me as he liked, either way he was foolish to do so because my resolve to kill him hadn't wavered one bit, it’d only gotten stronger.So strong that on the second day of my imprisonment, I’d almost escaped to try and kill him again despite how the first time went. Nina had searched high and low for me after she’d seen me tied to the pillar while Kai gloated, but
