Chapter 8

Isabella 

I couldn't stall any longer. Any delayance could cause me trouble. I must have committed a great sin in my past life, so now I was given the Alpha as a punishment. I made my way to his room, and the rhythm from my heart made me scared. 

I couldn't stop thinking. Several thoughts flashed through my mind. I had no idea why he had called me. And if it had anything to do with those concubines, then I would stay quiet. But secretly, I would give them whatever punishment he gave me. 

I walked towards his room, trying so hard to hide my fear. I sighed deeply and knocked slightly on the door. I didn't get a response, so I knocked again. I wouldn't dare do the same . mistake twice. Get the hell in!’ he said coldly. His words sent shivers down my spine. I pushed the door, gradually finding my way in. 

Walking into the room, my eyes widened in shock. I couldn't believe what I was seeing. I rubbed my eyes, hoping I was hallucinating. What the hell happens here? What was all this? This was the height of it.

My heart sank down to my stomach. I looked at the heartless man before me. He sat like a king, maintaining his demeanor in the midst of all this. I bit my lower lips, trying so hard to control my emotions. 

 I felt like…I didn't need anyone to tell me why he had called me over. The messy room already stood out so clear. As a slave it was my duty to clean up after him. “Calm down,” I mumbled beneath my breath. 

I ignored my surroundings, ready to know what my mission was. “You called for me,” I said solemnly. I could already imagine myself biting his skull to death. I forced a smile, trying to sound as nice and kind as possible.

I couldn't explain the anger that was brewing inside me at the moment. If I could beat the hell out of him right now, I would have done just that. 

Even a three year old toddler wouldn't mess up the place in this manner. What wrong have I done to deserve such a thing? 

“Clean up this place. It should be the best and clean.” He said. He stood to his feet and made his way out of the room. 

A moment ago, he was the weak man who was almost running mad, but now he was back to his old tyrant and rude self. Taking a second glance at the whole room, my body felt so weak.

I felt like running away, tears welled up my eyes. This was far from the Cinderella story where she had to clean the whole house just so she wouldn't make it to the ball. At least hers had a ball, not like mine. There was no trophy after cleaning the whole mess, I wouldn't lose a slipper, nor would I dance with a handsome prince.

Reality was indeed very scary. I slumped to the floor, sitting down idly. I had no idea where to start. The whole room was as if it had been crashed by an airplane or, better still, a missile. 

“How can a grown man, a man who calls himself a King, intentionally make such a mess.” I foiled. 

If I made use of the word frustration, I felt I had underestimated the word. Right now, if death was just a mile away and he calls for me, I would happily follow him.

“That wicked beast!” I cussed. 

“Isabella, you can just run away. Just jump down the window and run.” I muttered. It sounded like the best idea ever, but my first attempt almost got me in trouble. I had messed it up. And with such a busy pack, I'm sure I wouldn't be able to even reach the gate before he notices. 

“You could actually run away if that's really what you want.” My wolf intercepted my thoughts.

I felt doubtful about it, “You have better chances now compared to the first time.” She continued.

I was amazed. “It seems you've gotten him out of your mind. This was the same man you were happy to have.” I teased.

She didn't say a word in response, I walked my way to the window. His room was indeed very spacious. Then, I had no time to observe the place critically. He had a whole different place at the right side of the room. It was the balcony, which was indeed very spacious. And then a window at the opposite end. The French window design had good scenery. It showed off the beauty of the pack, its environment, and everything about it. It also displayed the beautiful streams, valleys, waterfalls, and mountains that were miles away. 

It's indeed a beauty. I walked to the other end. It had thick forest views. Even while at a great distance, I could tell they were indeed very tall. This part of the pack had lesser security. I could give it a try. But what if I get caught? I wondered.

The scene of being locked in the dark room flashed through my eyes. I couldn't imagine being there again. I shoved the thoughts of escape out of my mind, I should better get to work.

“But what if I escaped? Where would I go?” I mumbled beneath my breath. I let out a sigh of depression as I walked towards the king-sized bed. Dressing it first was the first step I chose. “He must have done this on purpose just to make me suffer. Ungrateful bastard.” I cussed.

“Who knows those bitches must have come to spill out lies and being vulnerable he believed them. He wouldn't even call me to hear my side of the story. My hands still hurt, he must have seen the little wrap but he didn't care. So heartless!” I continued. 

After a few minutes I was done making the bed. I got busy picking up the broken vases. They were all over the place in a thousand pieces he must have broken closer to ten cases. Picking them all up with my bare hands would be frustrating. 

I heard towards the store room to get the necessary equipment for the cleaning. I gnashed my teeth in anger, the whole mess was a striking reminder that I would be cleaning all through the night. 

“Of all the mates the moon god could give me, why does it have to him? I could just reject that beast and go find another pack who knows I could find a more handsome young Alpha.” I pouted.

“That would be after you are dead.” A cold heart-piercing voice responded. My body shook in fright, my soul felt like leaving my body. His piercing glares made the situation worse than I had imagined.

He moved towards me at full speed, I moved backward away from him. The angry look on his face was even to kill me. “You have me and you have the guts to think of another man? How dare you!”

I had no words in response, I had just said that casually. He has many concubines, right? Why should he care? “You can't talk? I don't satisfy you enough? It seems you want to run wild. Since you feel I'm not good enough for you, let me show you how good of a man I am.”

He held my hand roughly leading me towards the bed. Was this what I was thinking? “No, No, please. I'm not done cleaning. I just said that casually I didn't mean any word.” I explained.

My words fell on deaf ears, he pulled his hands around my waist ripping my clothes off. I let out a scream but he wasn't willing to yield. He pinned me to the bed kissing my lips, I pushed my face away from him. This seemed to annoy him, he held my jaw strongly, kissing me forcefully.
