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
Kahlan povI woke up with a sense of doom. My heart raced as I tried to concentrate on something.For a moment, I felt peaceful. I wasn't cold and the feeling I was currently having was like heaven.I dragged my breath and looked around me. I'm in a room! And I'm on the bed. How did I get here? I racked my head for answers but it felt blank.I stared down at myself, at the blankets covering my cover. I pulled it away and discovered I was naked. There was not a form of clothing on me. And that was when it hit in quickly. My hair stood still as I remembered the sex I had with Eric before I passed out. And well, the reason why I actually passed out.My gaze searched around for the mirror. I stood up and rushed inside the bathroom. I was still naked but that was the least of my concern.I found the mirror but I was suddenly scared of checking myself out. I let out a sigh of relief before I walked closer and bent my head slightly to look at my neck. Then I saw it! I've been marked!Terror
Eric POVI could scent her sadness, like a sour grape. I know it wasn't right that she couldn't hear what I was thinking or what my emotions were but I couldn't help it.As a lycan, I'm high in maintenance. There's no way anyone can break the defense. Even if I tell Kahlan this, she wouldn't believe me.And I didn't think in that direction or I wouldn't have marked her. Well, it's all done now. I can't change it."Is that a lure?" Her soft voice reached my ears and I howled inwardly.She sound delicious and I couldn't help but remember the sex we had together. Damn, I wish for more but for now, I have to be patient.Well, I have to let her see the truth. "No, Kahlan. I have your clothes right here."There were a few minutes of silence before the door crept open and she stretched out her head like a toddler spying on her mother. She looked cute as ever and I love to kiss her on the forehead but I had to pull myself back.She regarded me for another moment before she stepped out. My ey
Sonia POVMy eyes went wide with shock at the mistake I had made. I didn't expect to talk so loud. I mean I didn't expect that something was going on somewhere between Eric's first love and Kahlan. Well, I've searched for a lot of things about Eric and I was able to get some answers. "Who said that?" Eric repeated in a deep voice.The rest of the maids pointed at me. I knew they would anyway since we weren't on friendly terms. And I'm really going to treat their fuck up."I'm so sorry, Alpha," I whispered."Step out!" Eric yelled, somehow angry at the interruption. I didn't know I spoke so loud.The other maids smiled and I'm sure they were laughing within themselves at the mess I'd just created for myself. I'm supposed to make the Alpha love me and not hate me. Am I really sure I'm doing a great job?I stepped out, slowly. He didn't say anything as I moved nearer. I looked up at him slowly. There were these deep lines of worry on his face and I felt like making it go away.Damn! I
Sonia POVJust as I moved forward to attack them, someone moved to stop me. "Hello, ladies, what's happening here?" His thick baritone voice filled the air around us.I looked up at his features even though I was unable to see his face. He looked handsome from the side view. He was tall and fit like Eric.The maids' eyes went wide with shock as they regarded the man for a moment."Sir_" they stressed and I felt the quiver in their voice. There was no doubt that they were scared and I wondered why that is. Who is this man anyways and how was he able to cause so much fear in these maids?"Don't you guys have work to do than gossip about people?" His voice was soft as if he wasn't annoyed even though it felt like it was something he should be annoyed about.I don't really know but he could be an acquaintance of Eric or Hardin. I mean that could be the only reason he would be here.And another thing is that these maids seem to recognize him."I'm watching!" He muttered and made a sign by
Kahlan POVI felt my whole body shake but I tried to control it. I couldn't think clearly, it felt like I lost my thinking ability.I made a mistake hours back and I just admitted to it. If I hadn't decided to have sex with Eric, he wouldn't have marked me. I feel like a fool right now.What am I supposed to do at this moment? I have never been so confused in my entire life. What have I done to myself? Because I couldn't control the mate bond. Would I be able to control myself around Eric now? Because the bond is now stronger.I need to find a way to get out of here but how?The two maids looked over at me and I sigh. It feels so weird to have them staring at me as if I'm a toddler to get watched. It's getting late anyways and I'm sure they will sleep soon. Then, I can be able to think without their spying eyes.I felt some footsteps towards the cell and somehow, I was expecting to see Eric. I am stupid sometimes.Two men moved closer to the cell door. "I'm taking Kahlan out," one of
