Chapter 4: One of his toys

As my body started to shiver, the owner of the hand tightened the cover of my mouth. I almost halted my breath when the Lycan King stepped forward in our direction. I thought that I was going to end my life. King Edward was atrocious when he quickened his pace. 

 

“Fuck!” The man breathlessly whispered and pulled me to the next room. It was obscured, and I smelled the scent of the silk. I pushed him away when I felt my boobs squeeze onto his chest. He chuckled coldly, and hearing his manly tone made me distinguish who he was. It was Marcus!

 

“You stubborn woman! Do you want to die?” He mumbled before he dragged me out of the room when we didn’t feel the Lycan King trying to search for us. As we slowly passed the room where the Lycan King was, I heard the sounds of moans coming from him.

 

It seemed the woman he had was giving him pleasure that he never noticed us. Marcus tightened his grasp on my hand; he was panicked. The alertness that someone might catch us added to his cold, intimidating aura. 

 

I was surprised to know he was the one who helped me. Maybe he noticed I wasn’t in the line when they reached their destination, and he searched for me to ensure I didn’t escape him. My heart skipped a beat as my eyes landed on his hand, making me swallow, supposedly sensing how his calloused hand touched my skin.

 

“Hey! Stupid girl, are you okay?” He asked without a sense of concern in his tone. He only inquired me because I was too silent when we stopped walking. As I met his bright red pair of eyes, he avoided my gaze and clenched his teeth.

 

“Don’t do this again if you want to breathe still. You’re foolish if you have ever presumed you can easily escape from here,” he added.

 

I gulped in fear when his eyes darkened in irritation. I could still recall how he beheaded the guard quickly, and I needed to ensure I would be safe when he was with me. 

 

“I’m lost. I don’t do anything to run off from this pack. I’m not stupid to do that, especially when I don’t know how to leave here.” My heart was palpitating when I answered back to him. He gave me a murderous stare, then growled. I stepped back instantly, for I was afraid to make him outraged.

 

“I don’t ask you to explain. Do you want me to cut your tongue? Instead of being thankful that I saved your freaking ass, you have the audacity to talk back to me!”

 

“B-But—”

 

“My service isn’t free. It means I need something in return.” He plastered an evil smirk on his lips that made me cross my hands on my chest and look at him with fear. What did he mean? Did he want me to sleep with him in return? I wasn’t the type of woman who would sleep with a man whom I didn’t like. I would rather die than sleep with him! I wasn’t insane enough to do that!

 

He frowned at me and stepped forward to corner me before he said, “What makes you think I need your body? Are you insane? What kind of brain do you have? I will tell you what I want after you sleep with the Lycan King.”

 

I gasped in surprise when he smacked my buttocks and pushed me to enter the room. He gazed at me with smugness when I dared to give him a look. I saw the other ladies checking themselves and making themselves ravishing once King Edward checked them out.

 

King Edward entered the room after an hour. His intimidating aureole made me stunned. He watched how we lowered our heads like Marcus had instructed. My legs jerked when he stopped before me, checking me out. 

 

These ladies with me prepared themselves with a lot of jewelry in their bodies, but I didn't, even though Marcus had advised me to do it, too. I didn't like having some accessories on my body; I preferred to be simple like I always used to be. As an outcast in my pack, I never experienced having expensive jewelry.

 

“What are you wearing? You're supposed to be presentable for me, woman.” His frosty voice made me tremble. I bit my lip and didn't dare glance at him in the eyes.

 

“Your Majesty, I instructed her to do it, but she doesn't want to.” Marcus wanted to save my ass, which made the Lycan howl in irritation.

 

“Woman, do you want me to get mad at you? These ladies want to be presentable for me, but you,” he gasped in fury before he continued, “don't do it even though Marcus has instructed you to do it. I want you to explain your side, or else I will cut your throat.”

 

“Y-Your Majesty,” I stuttered when I finally got the courage to talk. I inhaled heavily when he gave me a look to continue. “I don't think I need to use this jewelry to become good in your sight. My mother always told me that a lady's heart was the most precious treasure she could have. These accessories only made me good-looking for a short time, but my heart—”

 

“Heart? Are you insane? Are you telling us we don't have the beauty of the woman that the King wants?” I heard one of the mistresses exclaim. 

 

I slowly moved up my head and saw King Edward arched his brow at me to defend myself to his other mistress.

 

“It's my heart that I only have. It's my treasure. I don't want to be the King's mistress from the very start. ” I became blunt when I spoke those words. I heard the King growl once again to warn me not to continue, but I didn't have the plans to obey him.

 

“If you are mad because I'm only speaking the truth, then I want to be honest and say that I don't want to be good-looking for the Lycan King. I'm forced to be part of his harem, and—”

 

“Shut the fuck up. Do you want me to kill you?” King Edward snarled, grabbed my neck, and tightened his hold. 

 

“Leave us. She's the woman I want tonight.” He commanded. I groaned in pain while he gave me a death stare. 

 

I heard their footsteps, leaving me alone with this beast. I was like a prey got thrown into the predator's den. He sniffed my scent slowly, his face darkened in fury.

 

“Ah!” I gasped when he stopped choking me. My hand went to my chest, gasping for air, and I tried to calm myself. He stepped forward.

 

“What's your relationship with Marcus? I smell him on you.”

 

Shit.

 

“I don't have any connection with him.” 

 

“Liar. You are my concubine now. You will be one of my toys.” His jaw became tense while his pair of eyes gleamed in wrath. He took five steps when he knelt and paused in front of me. 

He sneered. “I don't like to share my woman with any other man. If you don't want to get angry because of your stupidity, you will obey what I want. Do you fucking understand me?”

 

I tried to move away, but he paused me by holding my shoulders. I thought my heart wanted to leave me because of how quickly it thumped. His eyes made me anxiously gulp.

 

“ANSWER ME!” He yelled.

 

“Y-Yes, Your Majesty.” I stuttered when I responded to him. 

 

“Strip off your dress. I want you naked tonight.” 

 

I hesitated to do it, but hearing his growl made me finally obey what he wanted. My hands were trembling when I removed my dress. He watched me do it like a master waiting for his servant to please him.

 

“Do your work. I'm not in the mood today because you ruin it. Spread your legs, and I want to watch you while you're making yourself experience the orgasm.”

 

I licked my lips. What should I do next? How could I ever do that? I might have been living with Alpha James when we found out we were mated, but I never experienced what he asked me to do.

 

“Are you deaf? Do you want me to gag you? Entertain me.” 

 

It was so fast when he sprinted in my direction. He carried me and put me on the bed. He spread my legs as he touched my genitals. I whimpered when I felt the sparks coming inside me. It was hot.

 

“Shit. You are so wet. You're innocent makes me furious. Touch yourself.”

 

“I–I don't know…”

 

His face was full of disbelief. He barked a laugh while I was lowering my head, trying to hide my embarrassment. Damn. What's wrong with being a virgin?

 

“I'm willing to play with you. Next time, I want you to be the one who will do the work.”

 

He caressed my folds, causing me to gasp in lust. What I had felt for him wasn't expected when I felt my center getting wetter.

 

“Fuck. Damn it.” 

 

“I want to taste you.” He added. I couldn't understand what he was trying to tell me, but when he spread my legs wider, he lowered his head and licked my vagina. 

 

“Don't you dare cum while I don't permit you, or else I will spank you until your butt hurts.”
