Remi POV“Touch me.”Her words now sounded like a threat.Maybe it was because she had been too gentle with me before — I had almost forgotten my place.With a shaky hand, I reached out and held one of her breasts, causing a moan to escape her lips. Her grip on my hair loosened, my head falling back down just as she leaned forward, kissing me more urgently.“I love you so much,” she whispered.My other hand tightened into a fist.Although I didn’t say it back, I touched her like she wanted me to, letting her make love to me — but inside, I was somewhere entirely else.For some odd reason, my mind couldn’t stop replaying the image of Zanye’s smile — and somehow, that’s what helped me get through it.Until she finally collapsed beside me, breathless and satisfied.****“What’s the relationship between Luna Selene and Alpha Damon?” I asked, seated in an almost isolated part of the mansion where I had a clear view of everything happening outside.Vivian and Nadia exchanged a glance before
Remi POV“Hey, human.”I froze.So did Vivian and Nadia behind me.My hand curled into a fist as I slowly turned around to face her. “What is it?” I asked.“Oh, feisty. I like that,” she said, walking over and eyeing me up and down, her face showing a hint of disgust. “I see you’ve gotten bolder. Too bad your sense of style is a bit… bland.”She wasn’t completely wrong. I was wearing just a plain dress. My hair was a bit of a mess, and unlike her, I wasn’t wearing any makeup. I looked like someone who had just crawled out of hell… because I had. Meanwhile, she looked like she was about to shoot a music video.“You really shouldn’t walk around like that,” she added, leaning in just a bit too close. Her perfume was strong, suffocating even. “You’re making the pack look bad.”I gritted my teeth.“It’s still better than whatever you have going on,” I snapped. “I know you’re a slut, but do you really have to spell it out every second? If you’re not careful, even the lower-ranked wolves wil
Remi POVThere was a crack in the ceiling.I counted it six times before I realized I couldn’t move.My fingers were stiff. My thighs were sticky. My chest was rising and falling too fast.It was over.I was completely naked now, with bruise marks scattered all over my body. This was worse than the first time. My entire body ached.My breath hitched when I felt his hand wrap around my waist, pulling me back against his chest. I had zoned out and completely forgot he was still lying next to me.“You did so well tonight,” he whispered. What was supposed to be a compliment only made my stomach twist.I flinched when I felt his fingers tracing small circles on my stomach like we were lovers.It was small, but he noticed, and his fingers paused.“What’s that for?” he asked, and even though I couldn’t see his face, the way his fingers tightened around my waist told me everything.He was getting pissed.Panicked, I quickly shook my head. “Nothing,” I whispered.His grip loosened, and I felt
Remi POV“The Alpha asked for you.”That evening, those were the words I dreaded the most, and they echoed in my head like a cruel reminder. I had hoped this day would never come again. But I guess I’m just that unfortunate.Remembering the pain I experienced the last time I was sent to him, my hands couldn’t stop shaking.Nadia must’ve noticed. She gave me a pitiful expression as she led me to the bathroom—and stayed there, watching me the whole time. It seemed Alpha Damon was a clean freak because they took extra time scrubbing every inch of me.When they were finally done, they dressed me in a lace bra—no underwear, as usual—then threw on a short silk robe that barely covered my thighs.My hair was tied up, and they dabbed a honey-scented perfume behind my ears, on my wrists, and right between my breasts.As if things weren’t already weird enough, they forced a black choker around my neck.I stayed quiet the entire time. Not a word. Just kept my head low as they led me to his room.
Remi POV“What’s going on here?!” Nikolai barked, his voice sharp like a whip.The maids scrambled to their feet in panic, keeping their heads bowed low.“We were just bringing her food,” Vivian replied quickly, her voice trembling just a little.“Then why were you kneeling?” Nikolai snapped, eyes narrowing suspiciously.Vivian opened her mouth, then closed it again, clearly trying to come up with something convincing while Nadia’s eyes darted between me and the door like she was considering running.“I asked a question,” Nikolai said again, this time quieter — which only made it scarier.“We—” Nadia began, her voice cracking, “we were just… apologizing. For our behavior before.”Nikolai’s brow furrowed, clearly not buying it. His gaze shifted to me. “Is that true?” he asked.All this while, I kept my gaze down, silently cursing when the question was directed at me. And when I finally managed to look up, I saw Zanye staring straight at me.I swallowed nothing, my throat dry, and shift
Remi POVI hadn’t expected that answer.To think, just a few days ago, they were openly mocking me — and by “they,” I meant Vivian. At least Nadia had shown a bit of sympathy.A small smile tugged at my lips but quickly disappeared.“Uhm…” Nadia spoke, clutching her shirt. “Is the Alpha aware of what happened?”So that was what this whole show was about. They wanted to know if I had told. If I had reported them.It would be a lie if I said I didn’t pity her. She was practically trembling as she spoke, but I needed to use this moment to my advantage.My eyes narrowed just a little, and I pulled the blanket tighter around my body.“No,” I said finally, watching how they both visibly relaxed.Vivian let out a breath, her shoulders dropping. “Thank the goddess.”“But…”“B-but?” Vivian stuttered.“But that doesn’t mean I won’t,” I added coldly. Their eyes widened again, with panic creeping back into their faces.“I haven’t decided yet,” I continued. “Whether I should protect you or throw y
