“Show?" I croaked out as I tilted my head, smirking despite the pain that was going through me.
“You call that a show?" I couldn't help but laugh, Adriana ran her hand on Xander's chest as she kissed his shoulder, her eyes locked on mine. “All I saw was a man trying to fuck a woman but failing miserably,” I sneered, my voice laced with mockery. “Tell me, Xander, was that supposed to be impressive? Because from where I stand, it looked like you were trying to convince yourself you still have it.” Xander's eyes darkened but I wasn't done, if he thought that he could break me with this little show then he had something else coming for him. I leaned forward despite the pain, smirking. “Let me guess—you had to fake it, didn’t you, Adriana?” I tilted my head. “Watch your tone!” she snapped as her eyes narrowed in slit. "Oh my bad, you were a little loud and extra and I thought you were trying to fake it not to offend the King,” I said with a wicked smirk on my face, Xander slowly stood up from the bed and for a moment I felt fear grip me because of the dark look in his eyes. He was still naked but I refused to look down. He stopped in front of me as his hand harshly gripped my face. He leaned down to my ear, dropping his voice so only I could hear him. “So are you that desperate for me to fuck you, you're trying to piss me off?” he whispered and I couldn't help but scoff, "You're not man enough,” I said looking him straight in the eyes as his hand around my jaw tightened and then without another word he stepped back before walking away and disappearing into the bathroom. It was left with me and Adriana and she just kept staring at me like she won some prize or something. “Must be really painful…” she started as she climbed down from bed not bothering to hide herself. Like I told her I was interested in looking at her small tits and flat ass. I couldn't help but roll my eyes. "Must be really painful for you to look in the mirror and see those,” I said as my eyes landed on her chest and I knew I struck a nerve with the way her hands clenched, "Well, the king still likes them,” she defended and I just chuckled at how she looked. If she was a cartoon character she'd have smoke coming out of her head. “Does he? Because from the look of things he was ready to throw you away the second he found his mate. Just happens that he doesn't like me…well, for now.” I said and her eyes got dark as she walked towards me. "Let me tell you something…" she growled and I arched a brow. “The king is mine,” "Yet I bare his mark,” the look in her eyes told me she wanted to kill me instantly but she held back and that gave me some sort of satisfaction knowing that she couldn't do anything. "Soon enough he'll discard you as soon as he finishes his torture with you and I'll gladly help him,” she said as she moved back then she started walking to the bathroom and I knew what would come. When she reached the bathroom door she paused as she turned to me. "I'll do everything possible to make sure that Xander kicks you out of this kingdom. I bet you.” "Good luck trying,” ***** Xander and Adriana finally left me in the room after their series of activities in the bathroom. She was a whore there was no two ways about it. I was starving and my throat was dry like I swallowed a handful of sand. I was still chained and they left me like this to suffer. My hands were aching and it felt like all the blood from my hands flowed to my shoulders. I sighed as I looked down in exhaustion. I swallowed whatever saliva I had left to wet my throat but that wasn't enough. I needed water, I needed food. Back in my pack they hated me so nobody bothered about giving me food but I always found a way to feed myself. Well, I steal some food and that way I can be able to eat because even my fellow omegas hated me and didn't share any leftovers with me. It was that hard. At the same it shaped me to become the woman I am. I started receiving a lot of hate at the age of six. I could still remember the way those people had treated my parents. I was little but I knew when something wasn't right. The way they had all pushed them that night, taking them out of the pack. I had followed from a distance, too small for anyone to notice me. I saw them gather under the moonlight. And then my parents were in the middle. My father had been holding my mom's hand, the fear in their eyes. His eyes had met mine and I could see him telling me to run away but I was too scared to move. They were called names that day I couldn't remember. But one I'll never forget is traitor. They had called my parents disgrace to the pack and right before my eyes they had killed them. A dagger straight to the heart. I couldn't even make a sound. No tears fell from my eyes. But at that moment I felt a shift. My heart hardened. And I made a vow to kill everyone of them who had stood there and watched my parents get killed. There were twenty on my list. And one was already down. The rest; I was waiting for the right time. And when that time comes. Nobody would be able to stop me. And then; I'll paint this kingdom red.“Did you get it?” I asked the hooded man and he nodded as he handed me a small basket and I couldn't help but smirk. Well, well, didn't think it would be this easy. “Are you sure this is it? I swear if there's any mixup and it doesn't work I'll have your head,” I threatened, “That is what you asked for ma'am, and this is the antidote," he said as he handed me a small bottle with a pinkish liquid inside. I took it as I closed my hand around it. “That snake is the most poisonous in this kingdom, one bite and its victim dies if not given the antidote. You have to be very careful with it,” “You think I'm stupid or something? I'm not careless, there's nothing to worry about, as long as it works, that's all I care about.” “Okay ma'am, is there anything else you want me to do for you?” He asked and I shook my head. "No, you can leave, make sure nobody sees you,” I said and he nodded before quietly sneaking out of my room, the door closing behind him. Finally, Raven’s going to love my
I was brought out of my thoughts by the sound of my door opening and my heart leaped thinking it was her until a familiar voice reached my ears. “Baby, I thought you said you were going to join me on a run? I waited but didn't see you," Adriana said as she made her way further into my office. Once again, her presence felt like the walls of the room were closing in on me. “I'm sorry, I just had a lot of stuff to take care of," I said with a forced smile as I made my way back to my chair and sat down. Adriana rounded the table as she tried to sit on my lap but my hand quickly shot out and stopped her. “I'm not feeling so well," I said. I could see the way she was fighting so hard not to grind her teeth but then she smiled and walked back to the visitor's chair and sank on it. “I understand, it's fine.” She said sweetly as she rested her hands on the table. I could see it in her eyes, there was something. Suddenly, she broke down in tears and started crying and I looked at her
“Matteo, is something wrong with me?" “He's still asking me that?" Matteo whispered under his breath but I heard him. “What was that?" "I'm just surprised that you're just noticing something is wrong with you, I can't blame you though, being under a spell can do that.” He said and my brows furrowed in confusion. "What do you mean by that?” I asked, as I dropped the pen I was holding and folded my hands on my chest looking at him. “I've been trying to tell you my King but you won't listen because she has you wrapped around her fingers. I don't even know how to help you." He said with a sigh. "What exactly are you talking about?” I said impatiently, "She has you under a spell, don't you get it?” "Raven?" “Wait, what? Why would you think Raven has you under a spell?" Because I can't stop thinking about her after the passion we shared this morning. Her scent was everywhere, her moans still echoed in my head like a sweet melody. That wicked smirk, I could still see it. But n
"What are you saying?" I asked, my voice sharp and confused. Raven’s brows furrowed deeply, her eyes narrowing like she was studying me—no, searching for something. Her stare wasn’t just casual. It was intense, like she was trying to read my soul and the chaos swirling within it. "What?" I asked again, my voice low this time, cautious. "What is it?" She blinked, shook her head, and looked away. "Nothing," she muttered. But it wasn’t nothing. It was something. I just didn’t know what. And that made me want to know even more. The tray of half-eaten breakfast sat beside me on the table, forgotten. I reached out and dropped my fork on it with a soft clink. Raven took that as her cue to collect it. But something in me rebelled. Some wild, unfamiliar instinct screamed that I didn’t want her to walk away. Not yet. Not now. So I reached out. My fingers wrapped around her wrist, stopping her mid-step. She turned slowly, surprise flickering in her gaze. The moment our skin touched, I f
"Baby, you're awake," Adriana cooed with a sugary smile as she approached the bed. Raven rolled her eyes so hard I thought they might disappear into her skull.Her presence in the room felt like an itch under my skin, a crawling discomfort that refused to subside. Everything in me wanted to reject her nearness. And yet... something inside me tugged in the opposite direction, whispering that she was the one who should be beside me. My head was chaos."What are you doing here? Get out!" Adriana snapped at Raven, venom dripping from every syllable. Then she turned to me, placing a hand on my arm. My skin burned at where she touched."Baby, she doesn’t belong here.""I asked her to stay," I said firmly.Adriana blinked, her hand frozen mid-stroke on my arm like she couldn’t comprehend what I’d just said."Why? Baby, you have no idea what this woman is capable of. She’s just like her mother. She’s planning to kill you too.""I’m really not in the mood for this drama," Raven muttered, turni
The sound of my boots crunching the leaves echoed in the otherwise quiet night. I was pissed, livid even. This shouldn't be happening if not for that stupid wolf.He won't even let me touch him. Not even in his fucking sleep.That was a big blow to me and Raven…that stupid bitch…she thought she had won but she doesn't even know what is coming for her.Killing her. That would be easy.And once she's dead, Xander would be mine once and for all with or without his stupid wolf.I huffed into the cold night as I followed the back entrance of the palace staying in the shadows and making sure nobody sees me.Suddenly I froze, the hair on the back of my neck rising as I felt it. The unmistakable feeling of being watched. I didn't wait to find out who or what, I hurried my footsteps until I finally got into the safety of the palace.I released the breath I didn't know I was holding but my relief was short-lived because the moment I rounded a corner, I bumped into someone, sending me falling bu
