CHAPTER 4

Eunice's face morphed into an angry one while Camilla looked at us in shock. Kaden slowly disentangled himself from me and buttoned up his pants.

"You fucking bitch" Camilla marched towards me and grabbed me by my hair.

"After everything Eunice did for you. You had to guts to seduce her mate"

Seduce Kaden? Did that look like a seduction to her or did she just want to act blind?

"You ungrateful whore" Eunice joined the attack, pulling at my hair. Both of them dragged me from different directions and I just wanted to get away. I had been lying on the floor with my clothes torn, Kaden over me and holding me down and I was the one they attacked?

"I've had enough of your slutty ways in this pack. I'm going to kill you with my bare hands" Eunice dragged me outside while Camilla kept hitting me. There was a small group of people outside and the spectacle instantly caught their attention.

I wasn't liked by anyone in the pack. The moment Camilla let it know that I had been with Kaden, the rest of the attacked. I was hit from all sides, kicked, stomped on, and smacked left and right. They called me names as they continued to hit me relentlessly.

Suddenly, it all came to a stop and everyone moved away from me. I sensed a powerful aura so close and I opened my eyes. The moment I saw him..... I just knew. My mate had found me.

Excitement burst through me at the thought that I would be free. But it slowly morphed into embarrassment the longer he stared at me. He would be ashamed to see his mate bruised and beaten up.

"What's going on here" he asked in a dominating and powerful voice. Nobody spoke or came forward.

"What the fuck is happening here?" The aura from him darkened as the silence grew.

"This whore..." Eunice started.

"This whore was with my mate"

"It's not true" I quickly defended myself, not wanting to believe that about me. But as I stared into his eyes, I knew it was already too late.

Disgust clouded his features. He stared me up and down with a hateful look and I covered. I felt ten times worse than I did earlier. I wanted to hide myself in shame. I couldn't stop the tears that dropped from my eyes like a flowing river.

"Get up" he commanded in a firm voice and I found myself obeying. My legs shook as I tried to stand upright on my own.

"Have you ever been intimate with him? Don't lie to me because I'll fucking know and you won't like what I'll do to you" I shivered under the tone of his voice.

Who was he and how did he command such aura?

"Answer me" he snapped and I nodded.

'But it wasn't by choice' I wanted to scream but I couldn't find my voice.

"I fucking knew it. How ungrateful and vile could you be to do that sort of thing to your own sister? I took you into my home. My family gave you shelter..." Eunice kept going on and on about bullshit but my gaze stayed on him. He got angrier the longer she spoke until he reached his endpoint.

"Enough. Cover her up and bring her to the coach. She's going back with me"

"My lord?" I was as shocked as they were.

"She belongs to my pack and cannot be taken away without my consent" Kaden stepped forward. He had been here all along? But he just stayed silent?

"I am king...." The rest of all he was saying got blocked out after it registered. He was king. My mate was the king? How.... Everything was happening too fast.

"I think we should ask her what she wants"

Me? What did I want?

"That is unnecessary. She is coming with me"

"It doesn't work like that, my king. I have to give j'y consent for her to leave and I'm not giving it"

"What does your mate have to say about that? You want to keep your lover in the pack still?"

"T-That's unacceptable" Eunice shouted.

"What do you want? To stay with your lover here or come with me?" He stared me straight in the eyes, his question was daring. My answer was obvious. I was ready to leave this pack as soon as possible.

I've always wanted to leave but what if my desperation to leave would land me into something worse than what I endured here?

This man standing in front of me... he may be my mate but there was something cold about him. Especially towards me. Would he also treat me like an animal in his pack?

"Nevaeh" Eunice snapped and I nodded, tears falling from my eyes.

"I'll go," I said breathily and it felt like I had just signed my own death sentence.

"No way. She's not going anywhere"

"You don't have any fucking choice Kaden. She's going back with me and if you get in my way, I'll get rid of you like the pesky little fly that you are. Now get yourself covered up and grab your things right now" he said the last sentence, staring directly at me.

I didn't have anything to pack and I didn't want to go back into that house again.

"I-I have nothing" I stuttered.

"Get her to the coach Hermes" he commanded and a tall man appeared.

"Let me cover you," Hermes said and threw a coat over me, covering my modesty. Then gently, he led me to the coach waiting a distance away and helped me into it.

"Are you comfortable? Will you need anything?" He asked in a soft voice. I was shocked but I quickly recovered and shook my head even though my stomach was cramping and I was desperate for food.

"If you need anything, just tell me and I'll get it for you"

"Thank you" I muttered and he shut the door. I collapsed against the door tiredly.
