Elio I mind linked Cahya telling him to clear everyone out and cancel the ceremony. In addition, I requested he bring her parents to my office for the meeting. I was so angry I could feel the heat still burning through my skin. I had no idea how she was silent, but she just lay there like a doll in my arms. I had wanted her to be submissive, but not catatonic. No doubt she was thinking about her lover, her mate that she couldn’t be with anymore. She thought she could fool me! I was prepared to exhibit to her explicitly what happened if you crossed me. I jostled her, so she landed with my shoulder, digging into her stomach. She didn’t make a sound. Not a peep came from her lips. What was it that she was blathering on about anyway to do with the blood oath? Is that why she ran? She saw her out and took it fleeing her wedding? Our wedding. To make matters worse, she was almost naked. I couldn't take my eyes off her perfect peach, which bounced with every step I took. Did she have to
Elio I took a long hot shower, trying to clear my head, but no matter how hard I tried, I couldn’t get my anger under control. I don’t know what was driving this feeling. If anything, shouldn’t I feel relieved I am no longer bound by this blood oath? Her dazzling emerald green eyes flash in my mind, first the look of defiance, then the look she gives me when she pretends. She isn’t checking me out and now those wild purple eyes dimming with resignation. It is a look I have seen thousands of times, but from her … it feels wrong. I scrub the shower gel over my body, rubbing my skin hard as I try to wipe away the feel of her skin on mine, her scent, the taste of her blood. Why did I even heal her? My wounds have healed. I can't believe she actually had the audacity to attack me. Questions are buzzing around in my mind, creating a chaotic storm. I needed her gone, but every time I pictured her leaving, I felt an ache in my chest. I shut off the water grabbing a towel as I headed to ba
Kara Marquis led me silently down to the omega floor, the dimly lit corridor lined with steel doors. The air felt heavy and suffocating, filled with a mixture of anticipation and despair. The faint sound of distant footsteps echoed through the narrow passageway, creating an eerie atmosphere. As we descended further, the scent of stale air mingled with a faint odour of desperation, a reminder of the lives confined within these walls. The omega floor was divided into two distinct sections - breeders and servants. The thought of becoming a breeder sent shivers down my spine, but I clung to the hope of being assigned as a servant, a role I believed I could endure. I liked baking. I enjoy cleaning but having to be forced to sleep with someone … I’d rather die. I don’t even think my father, the monster that he was, had an omega floor. He must have had alternative approaches. Perhaps he believed he didn't require one. As we walked, the castle slowly faded away, the beautiful architectur
Elio Meeting her parents made me pissed off because one little idea caused so much damage. I am one of the most powerful alphas because I possess a keen intellect that allows me to exploit the foolishness and narrow-mindedness of others, effortlessly claiming whatever I desire. Heading to my office, I meticulously review the paperwork of the blood oath, determined to confirm every detail. Frustration consumes me as I shake my head, growling at the thought of that treacherous rat who dared to double-cross me. If only he were still alive, I would relish the opportunity to make him suffer for attempting to strike a terrible deal. He had referred to her as unmarked and pure, but I know that it’s yet another lie. My lips press together, my jaw clicking with anger at his last remark. She may act innocent, like a virgin, but it’s irrelevant to me. I want nothing to do with her. Maybe it’s unfair of me to hold her accountable for her father’s wrongdoings, especially since he’s no longer al
Kara I had zero sleep last night, and it had nothing to do with the lumpy mattress, the cold temperature, or the barely there blanket; it was all because of Elio. I know I made a mistake, but he didn’t even want to hear me out. He wouldn’t even listen as to why; I was so angry my whole body was shaking. I got up and headed upstairs to bring him his breakfast, which I had half a mind to spit in for him being so obtuse! I knocked on the door, remembering Marcels words about not going in here unless he told you too. Did that still count? Was I supposed to leave his breakfast outside? I placed the tray down on the floor and checked if the door was locked. It clicked open, much to my annoyance. Using my foot and hip to wedge the door open, I picked up the tray and hurried along, looking for somewhere to place the tray and get out of here. I wonder where he was? Would I be able to grab some of my things? I thought about the phone Gabriel gave me but I had no idea if I would have a signal
Elio I was undoubtedly a masochist. It was the third day of Kara being my slave and all I had managed to do was annoy her and observe as she cleaned. She constantly shot me irritated glances, clearly puzzled by my excessive staring. Strangely enough, her reactions only added to the overall amusement of the situation. Every time she would give me a sassy retort, a mischievous smirk would curl on my lips But when I sensed that she was starting to go too far, I would playfully tease her about how I would go about taking out her family, one by one, right before her eyes. Of course, I had no actual intention of doing such a thing, but she had no clue about that. But she didn’t fucking know that and twisted pleasure I derived from watching her squirm was almost intoxicating. Still, it irked me how I still noticed her beauty. That plump lower lip she would bite down on and how well I know she tasted when I kissed her. I was also avoiding work, as Naomi would find ways to corner me. I had
Elio Although it was difficult to accept, it was the only plausible explanation. She was my mate. My little wolf was my mate. I had to leave this place. This wasn’t part of my plan for today, but I needed something to distract myself from thinking about her. I retrieved my second phone from the bedside drawer and switched it on, finding several messages waiting for me. Among them, one caught my attention. It seemed like the perfect opportunity—a chance to track down a rogue individual who had taken the life of their future luna. The payment was acceptable, but more importantly, it provided the distraction I needed. Without hesitation, I sent my demands and assured them that I could carry out the task today. They agreed, so now all that was left was to wait for the funds to transfer over. “Marquis, watch over Kara today and make sure she doesn’t leave his sight,” I said as I gathered my belongings, still bothered by her lingering scent. My wolf urged me to go after her, but I knew t
Kara I darted out of the room, my heart pounding in my chest. He touched me … there. I couldn’t focus on the fact he spanked me or any of the pain I felt from my burning ass. All I could think of was that he touched me. I could still feel the ghost of his fingers brushing over me. My whole body was burning and I could feel a heat growing between my legs that I had only ever felt after being drugged. I pressed my legs together, hoping to stem the ache that was growing there. Oh goddess, this is so embarrassing. Despite everything, one thing consumed my thoughts. His disgust at how he looked at me, that I liked him touching me. I repulsed him. That hurt above everything else. His rejection after everything I had gone through this was what brought me the most pain. I ran down the stairs not looking where I was going when I fell tripping over my feet and rolling down the stairs. No doubt Marquis will find me soon enough, but I needed a minute. A girl could have a minute, right? I lay
