Sonia POVI stared up at Michelle for a moment as she continued to give places to the maid. I've been working harder to get a job as the Alpha's dresser.I mean aside from the fact that I get to be with Eric, my allowance would increase. I would even get a separate room.Damn, it's all I ever want. I'm so tired of sharing a room with these bitches and stinking maids. I can't wait to get to the top.And for Kahlan, I'm not at all worried about her. I hate her in the first place anyways. I don't care if she gets killed as long as she stays out of my way.I'm going to have Eric no matter what. I'm not bothered about his crimes or the fact that he might have been the one to kill my family. I'm getting revenge but not until I get the power. This is why I say Kahlan is very stupid. How could she directly fight with Eric? Eric is very strong, a big Lycan Alpha at that. Does she think she can defeat him? No wonder she's getting locked up. I don't pity her, I just don't want her to meddle in
Kahlan POV The dungeon is as cold as I've heard. It's very cold and very dark but it's the least of my problem at this moment. My mind is in a whirling confusion. I don't even know who to believe. Am I supposed to believe Eric? Or Hardin despite all I found out about him? Or Mathias? Why shouldn't I believe Mathias? I mean there's no way why he would want to stop me from mating Eric. He wouldn't have a hidden motive. I felt the tears slip out of my eyes again. I felt helpless. There's nothing I can do anyways or is there? Eric will stop at nothing to have an heir. Though I plan to prevent that, it just seems so difficult and painful for me. I don't even know what I'm supposed to do now. I felt a slight poke at my arm, accompanied by this weird scent. I jerked out of my thoughts and looked up. My eyes went wide with shock at who I was looking at. I wasn't really expecting him, I think it's the reason why I'm so shocked because Hardin has appeared this way before. "Are you crying
Kahlan POVA few minutes after Hardin had left, I was still confused. I couldn't cry again because it looked like I had no tears in my eyes.The dungeon got colder as the night went deeper. The clothes I was putting on did little to warm me up. I sat and pulled my body closer.But the cold wouldn't stop and I ended up shivering so hard that it felt like I might die from it. It felt like all the air in the whole universe was concentrated on me.I tried to close my eyes, perhaps I would stop feeling the pain when I'm asleep.Suddenly, a soft fur came over my body and I looked up at Hardin. I didn't move yet and I doubt he saw my eyes open. It was getting rather dark in the dungeon."Damn, you are shivering," he exclaimed softly as if trying not to wake me up.I acted like I was asleep but I continued to watch him.He stepped back after the quilt was all me. "See you in the morning. Don't worry, he wouldn't know about this, Kahlan," and that was when I sat up, shocked for a moment.I had
Eric pov“You will die, Kahlan,” I repeated, with a scary expression so that she could feel threatened. It's the only way out.Kahlan’s eyes went wide with shock as she didn't expect what I had said. I didn't expect it as well but as it turns out, it has to be this way.“Take her away! Now!” Nyall ordered before he moved nearer to me.I turned around and moved towards the meeting room with Nyall. I'm discussing with the elders concerning Kahlan.The elders have grown impatient these days. And after they heard that the mating had been called off, they grew even more impatient. Though, I barely blame them. I mean it's getting late and I'm getting impatient as well. “But are you really going to kill her?” Nyall asked on our way to the meeting room.I shook my head briefly. “I will never do that. I will never hurt Kahlan. I'm only trying to protect her from the elders,” I assured Nyall.Though, Nyall hates Kahlan and doesn't agree with the fact that I'm going to stay with her or protect
Kahlan POVI regarded him for a moment. I knew what I was going to say before I did. I've had it all planned out because I will stop at nothing to avoid getting filled with his litter. I won't carry his heir, I never will."I had a transplant," I lied. He watched me with those green eyes of his. "What?"I nodded briefly and quickly. "It's as you have heard. I had a transplant when I was so young. Well, I had a boyfriend then and I didn't want our relationship to escalate. It was just a sex thing," I explained even though the story was all formed. I haven't had a boyfriend since I've been in this world. Only Sonia was opportune to have so many boyfriends. She was quite popular then as well while I was always the nerd.Actually, what I was expecting him to do wasn't what he did. He merely smiles. "Are you trying to tell me that to stop me from having sex with you?" He expressed.I felt shocked for a moment. He's really brilliant or maybe he's several years older than I am. Maybe!"We
Kahlan POVMy cheek hurt so much from the slap but I didn't say anything. I mean she must be jealous, very jealous. I disgrace her once and now, she's getting her revenge."What? You want to talk?" She laughed. "Well, there's no one to protect you now. Even Eric can't do that anymore."Well, I don't need Eric to protect me. I don't even need him to do anything for me. I don't even want anyone from this pack! I just want them to leave me alone.She looked at one of the men. "Where are you taking her to?""The Alpha said we should take her to the dungeon."Naomi nodded briefly. " Take her to my room."" What?" I gave her skeptical brows. " What are you doing?"She slapped me again.I placed my hand over my cheek this time as it hurts me so much."Ask me questions again and you will get more slaps," she hissed and looked over at the man. " Take her to my room and let her join the maids there," she ordered The men turned me around quickly and I was dragged violently toward the unknown. I
Eric POVI felt a stab of annoyance at what I was looking at. What was Kahlan doing in Naomi's room by the way?It was strange that Naomi was suddenly back after I had sent her off the other time. Well, I didn't have to ask for so long. I should know that it was the elders that sent her back. Their minds must have been made up already.They planned to make me impregnate Kahlan while Naomi stayed as my Luna."What the fuck is happening here?" I asked as I moved towards them.Kahlan was still on the floor, amidst the dirty water. I was only here for a few minutes, so I didn't even know what had happened. The only thing I heard was when Naomi requested a whip. For what? To hit Kahlan?I regarded Kahlan for q moment before I looked at Naomi. "What is happening here? Why is Kahlan in your room?""Eric, what are you doing here? I didn't know you were coming over or I would have been prepared for you," she responded, ignoring my question.I grunted. "Naomi," I stressed in one of my deep acce
Eric POVMy heart skipped several beats when she closed her eyes as I drew near. I knew at that moment that she wasn't going to push me away.I was concerned anyways, what she had in mind. There was no way she would let me kiss her unless there was something else she wasn't telling me. Or does she believe me now? Does she think I wasn't the one that killed his pack? That's the only reason why she wasn't recoiling in fear or why she wasn't pulling allegations at me.My lips caught hers briefly and I felt her shiver. Yet, I still anticipated the usual reaction.I wasn't ready to pull back. Well, I couldn't even do so. I was patiently waiting for Kahlan to pull me back. If she doesn't, I don't think anything else can.I kissed her deeper, passionately, as if my life depended on it.Suddenly, I pulled back and stared down at her. She didn't say anything, though the gaze she was watching me with was soft.The last time she looked at me in such a way was before I left home.I looked over at
