LOGINLila's POV “Wake up, lazy ass! The Alpha wants you in the Grand Hall.” These words tore through my sleep, stirring me back to full consciousness.I groaned softly as I forced my eyes open. The rays of the sun penetrating through the open window hit my eyes. My eyes quickly closed, my body feeling heavy and sore, like I had been beaten all night. For a moment, I didn’t even remember where I was. My eyes were still closed, sweat dripping down my face. I didn't sleep comfortably last night and when I woke up suddenly. I stretched out and then it all came rushing back. The memory came rushing back to me.The dungeon…..Darren…The hunger that gnawed at my stomach last night. The cold and the mosquitoes wheezing past my ears.I pushed myself up slowly, wincing as a sharp pain shot through my back. My bone was stiffened by the cold. The guard stood by the bars, staring at me with no emotion, impatient.“Get up and stop being sluggish.” he said again, more impatient this time. “Get your ass
Lila's POV Night fell faster than I had expected. My stomach rumbled as I laid in the dirt, my body weak from screaming my lungs out but deep down I wasn't here. I was lost in my own thoughts.The cold ground pressed against my skin, making me shiver slightly. I had forgotten that the dungeons were built by the mountain side thereby making it very cold and airy at night. I curled into myself, wriggling together like a fragile worm, my arms wrapping around my body as if that would help with the hunger and cold but it didn't. I had been in this position for quite some time and this only made me more aware of my destitution and hunger and also the rage that devoured me. I closed my eyes for a moment, trying to get my mind off my situation and ignore the feeling of hunger that felt so intense I thought it would kill me.I have been alone for more than 12 hours now and the guards did not return back and I hadn't had lunch or dinner nor did I receive any message. I hadn't seen Darren and
Lila's POV “Eat this! Reject it and you'll have to starve for four days or worse still, a whole damned week!!” The guards yelled aggressively, slamming a metal plate against the bars. The food almost spilled on the floor due to the force which he used to throw it by luckily it didn't. The smell hit my nostril immediately. It smells like stale food that was cold, uninviting and not appetizing.I stared at it without moving.“I’m not eating that,” I said firmly. “Darren should do better. Don't you guys have better food to serve prisoners? Even a dog would reject this meal! Y'all should do better and get something decent to eat.”One of the guards scoffed.“And who do you think you are to make demands? huh? You should be grateful for this. This is amongst our best. Prisoners like you rejoice when they get served cold lentils and bread. You should be happy if you see what to eat on a daily basis without working for it. If you don't want to eat, then starve. The food is not for everyone.
Lila's POV “Let me go this minute, Darren, you pathetic son of our father!”My voice echoed across the cold walls as I shouted with every ounce of strength and life in me. But it had bo effect. Hedidn’t flinch. He wouldn't. He's who and wickedness had eaten deep into his core. Instead, that same annoying smile eh had been wearing on his lips since he walked in, remained on his face like he was enjoying every second of it. I knew he was. He loved watching me break. It fed his male ego.He stepped closer to the bars, his eyes scanning me slowly from head to do.“Look at the mess of a person you are. That's why the Alphas were so fast to discard like you like a used product. Worthless and useless. Thank heaven they did. Now I'm no longer indebted to them. I'm a free man and I'm still in charge of you. It's a good thing you were returned back to m before you bore them kids as useless as you are.”“Look at the beast you are. A cowardly dog who barks and goes around eating poop!”“You sti
Lila's POV My gaze first blurred before my head ached badly. I looked around me, refocusing my eyes as I adjusted on the rough ground. Last I remember was running away from the men only to be caught and knocked out. Where am I?I pushed myself up slowly, my body feeling heavy and weak at the same time. I immediately touched my baby bump, my eyes widening as I tried to remember if they did anything to my baby.The ground beneath me was cold and hard. The ground in the woods was the same as where I was right now. The only difference was that this was cremated. I bit my lower lips as I braced myself to stand. Dust stuck in-between my fingers and to my palms as I tried to steady myself.My head throbbed, my throat dry. Everything around me looked unfamiliar.Dark stone walls. No windows. Just a small opening above that let in a little light.I looked outside and realized that the other rooms around me were similar. Dark stone walls, no window and just a little opening.A cell.My hear
Lila's POV Everything happened in a blink of an eye. One minute I was with Claire, telling her about my dream, and the next minute I was in danger of being attacked.The sound came first but bot after Rowan's voice had sounded like a lightning warning us about the impending danger. This was an unprecedented account and thus the shock took us unaware.My eyes scanned the environment and I heard a loud rustle in the bushes adjacent from me. Then I had footsteps that were fast and too many. I could tell that they were fast and would close in on me if I didn't run.My body reacted before my mind did. I grabbed Claire’s hand instantly.“Run,” I whispered. “We need to get out of here immediately before they get us!”“Ma’am…what…what is…..” she started, but I didn’t let her finish.I reached out and wrapped her by the wrist, firmly.“We don't have time for this, Claire. Run!”Claire blinked fast. I dragged her and we quickly turned and ran. This wasn't the kind of war I expected. This was D
Lila's POV The door flung open as I had breakfast. Marcus walked in, his arms crossed behind his back, a calm expression on his face.I quickly stood up, letting my cutlery fall noisily on my plates.“Good morning Alpha.” I greeted.Marco slowly closed the door behind him before walking further in
Lila's POV I woke up feeling sore all over, my limbs stiff like I have been in one position for a year. Today was supposedly the first day of my grounding and I didn't think much about having a wonderful day.I slowly pushed myself up from the bed and winced as painting shot through my back and my
Marcus's POV We pushed open the door to Lila's room. She lay on the bed, her eyes wide open this time as she had her gaze fixed on us like she didn't know who we were or where she was.She looked so confused and her breathing was uneven. It was a slow and careful breathing like every breath she to
Daniel's POV I immediately shut the door behind me once Marcus had taken his seat on the edge of the bed. We had a lot to talk about and this was his fault and he had to take the blame upon himself. I wasn't going to pay for something I had nothing to do with just because we are twins and we sha
