Chapter 9
~~~Ann POV
The fears rushed into my veins in the form of adrenaline. I cringed at every step he'd taken.
My fingers dug into the ground for a grasp, I tried giving a blench, but I was hapless as my ass get stuck on the earth below.
He crouched down on his knees, bringing his face closer to mine. His hands roughly grabbed my neck, and swayed my head to his satisfaction, always letting out a sigh, he gawped for some moment before spitting on my face.
He dragooned me into swallowing his saliva. He kept pouring his saliva into my mouth until there was no more spit for him to pour, then he yanked my hair, clouting me.
He dragged me into a desolated chamber, tying my hands apart to the wall.
He encircled his fingers around my clavicles, tracing each of the lines therein. I felt a gush of wall building up within me.
"I dare you to flinch while I touch you, and I'll have you buried alive." He threatened, dawdling his fingers down to the upper of my bosom.
Without demur, he yanked my loose blouse apart, exposing my cleavage.
As much as my body want to flinch, I still cherished y dear life, if I could tolerate the wrongdoing and mistreatment of my Stepmom and stepsister, I wIll scale through this without flinching.
He squeezed my boobs like he was squeezing milk out of a sieve. He further without stopping for a bit, I barely swallow the lump down my throat.
The bud of my nipples stayed in between the grasps of his fingers, he had his sight shut tight, while his nose sniffled around my chest.
Like he wasn't contented enough, he had his index finger tinkling around my armpit, almost causing me to go berserk.
I felt a slick in my opening gushing out from its comb.
His fingers glided down to my abdomen, and he dawdled them for some minutes, pressing my stomach against each other at some intervals. As if the pressing were not enough, he sent some blows across my tummy almost 6 times, I coughed out blood staring at him like a sacrificial lamb.
He laughed at my stare, bringing his tongue closer to me, he licked off my blood, giving a remark. "Tasting so good."
His hands ripped apart my skirt, revealing my underwear, he brought his thumb to the center of my honeypot, rubbing against it so passionately like his life depends on it.
He crouched to his knees, adding more pressure to my entrance.
I was feeling choked due to the excruciating pleasures which were burning within me at the moment. Like I haven't seen hell enough, he brought his mouth to my undies, ripping my pant apart with his teeth.
"Holy shit!"I screeched, applying force to my stamina.
There was a rush of fluid from my honeypot, and he brought his mouth to the center of it, widening his mouth such that the juices streamed into his mouth.
He gulped them down, and placed his mouth deeply within me, his tongue eating, and pushing through me.
He was going to dip his fingers within me when sounds of hastened footsteps fastly approached the spot we were.
He unfastened the chains off my hands, running off while he leaves me behind.
I wiped the blood off my lips, blinking my eyes severally.
It was as if my ears were blocked, I felt pains clouding up below my abdomen.
It was as if I want to pee, but whenever I attempt to, nothing was coming out of my cunt.

The next day.
I was among the chosen maids who will assist in the decorations of the palace.
It's the alpha king's centenary celebration, and so many guests and distinguished personnel will be trooping from within the kingdom and afar.
I'm certain my father and his wife would be present. But what if at their entry into the palace, would they act as if they knew me or just showed me away because of the cicatrix on my face which was caused by my Stepmom?
I would always hold my peace. I wouldn't dare to utter a word to them unless I'm called upon by them.
Almost bumped into Jayden another identical brother, "Jace." He has this calmy aura hovering around him.
I felt at ease and peace.
I was busy staring at him with my parted lips, his beauty was none to all.
He had this perfect abs which makes his robe look good on him.
I braced myself and said, definitely if I could just be his maid then my life will be better.
I'll ask around if a maid could change her master.
I was beckoned to fetch water and washed the supreme Luna attire.
I and sugar were given the task to perform.
It was plain cotton, and on it was embroidered several pieces of diamond stone.
After washing the attire, I took the attire to a shade.
Several minutes after, I reported back to the Chief maid; I was done with washing the clothes.
She demanded of me to take my leave, that I was done for the day.
It never occurred to me the greater plans which I have no idea about until after the next day.
While I was drifting into my slumber, a soft hand tapped against my hand, causing me to wake.
I stared at the beautiful and innocent girl who was always sitting around me.
"Sister," She called in a calm tone.
"Yes, "I whispered in response to her words.
"Will you be my sister?" "Do you promise to always remember me?" I was curious in knowing the reasons she was uttering those words.
"You've always been my sister," I said, flashing the last of my smile at her.
"Thank you..."She appreciated, pulling herself closer to me.
A humming sound escalated from my lips, and tears of joy also streamed down.
Someone who isn't of my acquaintance offers to be my sister, but my blood sister never wants anyone to know about us, or our relationship.
A hasty sound of footsteps fastly approached us. The door pushed open, and my eyes widened in anticipation, not because of anything but because of the graver expressions which was written on their face.
Chapter 77Jace povA low growl tugged at my throat. My beast were threatening to rise to the surface. “Kill her!” Its voice rumbled in my ears and filled my head.Kill her?Does it mean the person I’ve been fighting with was a female? No way I’d throw my punch if actually she’s a woman. As my opponent lunged forth to kick me, I grabbed the leg and swirled it until I heard it, her soft scream.I let go, but pinned her against the floor. My lips a few inches away from her.Those tiny eyes peeled out of the open space of her mask.Her scent wafted my nose and gosh, I feel so irritated at the moment not that she was stinking but at the realization that it was Mia.“Fucking bitch!” I muttered under my breath. Rolling off her while she took off her mask and grinned at me hardly.“Don’t tell me you’re so weak in martial combat?”“I wasn’t allow to practice martial art or any form of fighting. I was forbidden from doing so.” I pushed myself up from the floor.“So in case you’re being attack
Chapter 76Jace POVIt’s past five days and from the report I’ve gotten. Haggai hadn’t step a foot out of his house, or make a suspicious movement.I had volunteered this night to spy on this house and checked if there was any hidden tunnel or a sewage pass, supposing he’d been sneaking through.Mia wanted to accompany me, but hell no I allowed that noisy leech follow me around.I’m convinced I’d utter words to shatter her morale supposed she sticks around me. I can’t fathom why I do that all the time.Deliberately, taunting her with her past mistake. Believe me when I said, I fight all the time to resist the urge to taunt her with those silly mistakes.For the last three days, I’ve been frequenting this library as if I was coming to read. I’d choose the upstairs, and tossed some reasonable coins in the chief guard hands who’d lead me to a private room.I’d ensure it was at the last floor, cause the library was a three storey building. A old monastery library that was named after the
Chapter 75Jace povMia drew in a deep breath. “It’s fine.” Came her swift response, and the rolling of her eyes.“I’m not joking.” I snarled.Lips flat, she shrugged her shoulders before nodding her head.“I’ve never been hapless and rejected in life not until I met you, Jace.” Thick silence hung in the air at her last words. She eased herself in her chair, and smoothened her hair. “I just hope one day I did find someone who will find me worthy of their unending love, who will be so obsessed with me.”She puffed out some air.My fingers tapped on the table, as I nodded. “I’m sure you gonna find it one day but definitely not me. I sucked at loving and being obsessed.”Her eyes widened at me, a small chuckle and twisting of her heart shaped lips. Mia lips parted as if she was going to utter some words, but threw her hands in the air unable to form the words.“You okay?” I raised my brow at her.“Sure!” she nodded and heightened her shoulders.I checked her out, patiently waiting for her
Chapter 74Jace povSitting on the bed, watching her sleep was the best that ever happened to me. Her cherry-full lips, and morbid eyes. My Fingers unwillingly trailed every line on her face. Her face was pale but proud.Suddenly, a shadow passed across her forehead, and her eyes peeled open. She blinked, perhaps trying to adjust to the light in the room.When our gaze got honed, she frowned and her cheeks turned red.She tried to flinch but I pressed her hands down. She rolled her eyes at me in askance.My expression was unreadable. But I stared her down not batting an eye.Ann tried to remove her hands from my weight, and I released the pressure I had exerted on her hands a few seconds ago,My wolf growled, and my eyes flashed dark the moment she flinched away from my side.Was she scared of me? But why!She tried to push herself up from the bed, but a wince escaped her lips.I guessed her body was heavy for her to move cause I was behind it. Recently, I just realized that I could
Chapter 73Jace povMy hands clenched behind my back even when trying to act strong and nonchalant. My mother was not getting any better.Each day her sickness got worse. A lot of physicians have predicted different kinds of poison and potion but none seems to be correct.Now, this last physician was gotten by Mia. I don't know how she managed to convince him to be on our side because many elites, or the better and more skilled among all professions, disassociate themselves from us. They are always seen romancing Madam Jessica and Jayden because they feel like Jayden is definitely going to be the king.“This physician mentioned about Jute poison. The poison was being extracted from its pod seed and…” I sucked in a deep breath, smoothening the back of my robe with my clammy hands. “The physician mentioned not knowing the antidote but Mia pulled me into a corner and mentioned that she knows of a way to get the antidote.”I had asked her. “Won’t she die before we can even find the antido
Chapter 72Jayden pov"No! This can't be happening?" I gritted my teeth in rage. "No!" my scream rang, and tension shook everywhere.But no one was paying attention to me. They were all scurrying, fighting for their survival while they left me behind with my mother. Even my uncle was no one to be found.' Coward!' I cursed Inwardly at my uncle.Everything happens so fast and just now, one of the assassins stood a few inches away from me and my mother, setting his bow and arrows. Confidently, this person posed, dragging the arrows backward, targeting my mother.I sprang up, throwing myself up in the air to block the arrow. Fortunately, the arrows slightly slipped through my ears.Rage swelled within me the moment I saw that assassin preparing another arrow, I stared back at my mother, pushed my two fingers at her then ti my forehead in respect before attempting to run after the assassins.The assassin never ran as he still posed with the arrows in his grasp, he didn't let go of the ar
