06

Tears clouded my eyes, and rolled down my cheeks. I was back again in the cold empty cell. I guess this is just a reminder to me that I’m worth nothing to Alpha Kyle. Of course, I know he hates me so much, and keeping me alive was him doing me a favor.

My hands were tied to the back, and it was hurting so bad. My eyes scanned the cell, and I almost screamed the moment I saw a roach on the other end of the cell.

“Stop dreaming, Rachel. You’re no longer a princess. Even if you scream, no one would come to your rescue.” I thought to myself.

Ever since I was born, I lived in comfort and wealth. Roaches… I hate them so much, and I get so scared when I see one.

When I was younger, once I saw a roach in my room, and screamed for help, that would be the last day I would sleep in that room. My father would immediately have another room furnished for me. I wasn’t allowed to shed a tear… any slave who made me feel sad would be beheaded immediately without a second thought.

I shook my head with a scoff. Those were all gone. I was never going to go back to being a princess. Then, I thought of my punishment tomorrow, and my heart sank.

However, I knew I wasn’t going to survive it. I don’t have a wolf, so it’s definitely going to be my death day. I just hope that my death will pacify Kyle and his pack members.

Likewise, I was smacked out of my thoughts by the rattling of the chain at the entrance of the cell. My eyes grew wider the moment I saw Imelda.

I bet she’s so excited to know that I was going to be punished tomorrow. She was wearing a malicious smile on her face. Glancing at her, I turned my gaze away, and wiped my eyes.

“You’ve got some nerve, Rachel. I give you that. What were you thinking? Escaping as a slave? You certainly think you’re still the almighty Alpha Dane’s daughter, huh?” She mocked me.

“What are you doing here?” I snapped back at her.

She burst into laughter. I’m not surprised, this is what she had always wanted anyway.

“The look on your face… it makes my heart want to explode in excitement. I wish your ruthless, good for nothing father was here to see his precious daughter wear a sorry look. Tables do turn, really.” She laughed hysterically.

Tears filled my eyes, but hell no, there’s no way I’m letting her see my weakness. Turning my face away, I blinked rapidly to stop the tears from rolling down my face.

“I heard you’ll be punished tomorrow, huh? I really can’t wait to see you bleed to death.” She spoke with so much resentment, and that got me wondering why she abhors me so much.

“That’s a prayer answered for you, Imelda. If you’re here to make fun of me, I’m sorry, but I’m already thick-skinned. Weren’t you stabbed the other night? You should be recuperating.” I mumbled.

She smiled. “Alpha Kyle healed me.”

“Healed you? Is he a doctor?” I asked rather nonchalantly.

“Oh, poor you. You probably don’t know. Right after Kyle came to my room last night, we had s·x. You may not know but mating with an alpha accelerates the healing process. Of course, Alpha Kyle wanted me. He told me that while slamming his cock inside of me.” She smirked mischievously.

I don’t know why, but I felt like I was stabbed in the heart the moment I heard her say that. Yeah, I know I shouldn’t feel this way, but I couldn’t help it. Taking a deep breath, I replied. “Well then, good for you.”

“Rachel, I just want you to know that Kyle doesn’t have any slightest feelings for you. All he has for you is resentment. You’re just a tool that he vents his revenge on. You mean absolutely nothing to him. The only reason he’ll ever f*** you, is for revenge.” She gritted her teeth, and continued. “All he wants is revenge. For every s·x he has with you, he just wants you to feel what our she-wolf omegas felt when your callous father raped them and turned them into breeders.”

I bowed her head for a few seconds before I started talking. “Imelda, is this why you’re here? Are you here to remind me of the atrocities my father committed? Is that it? Or are you jealous of me?”

“Jealous of you?” She scoffed in disbelief. “Why would I be jealous of a slave, huh?”

Fuming angrily, she slapped me hard on the face. Her fingers got imprinted on my soft, fragile cheek.

“You loser! I am going to become Luna one day, what about you? All you’ll ever be is a bloody, worthless slave. Get that into your thick skull.” She spat at me before leaving.

I burst into fresh tears, and sobbed silently. She was right… All I would ever be is a slave. I was still sobbing when I heard the clanking sound coming from the entrance again.

“Why are you back here again? Haven’t you hurt me enough? Are you back here again to remind me that I’m a slave? Well, no need! I already know…” I yelled, but kept quiet the moment I raised my head and my eyes met with that of the cold Alpha Kyle, who glared at me ruthlessly.

“Who hurt you?” He asked the moment he saw the fingers imprinted on my cheeks. He held my face up while bending to me.

Pushing his hand off my jaw, I mumbled almost inaudibly. “No one!”

“You dare to lie to your Alpha? I own you, Rachel. And I’m the only one who is allowed to hurt you. Asides me, no one dares to lay their f****** hands on you.” He sounded extremely possessive.

“Alpha Kyle, I said it was no one.” I snapped back at him.

What would he do if I told him that it was his beloved Imelda who had slapped me? He already mated with her, there’s no way he would harm her for my sake… a slave’s sake.

“Your punishment is tomorrow morning. Do you accept your punishment? You know, you can beg me if you want me to have pity on you.” He mocked me.

Clenching my fist tight, and glaring at him. I felt anger engulfing me. Does he want me to plead with him? Hell, no!

“I, Rachel Weston, Alpha Dane Weston’s daughter, accept your punishment, Alpha Kyle. I am an Alpha’s daughter, and I don’t beg.” I said these words with confidence.

Of course, he got so peeved, and grabbed my neck, making me gasp for breath helplessly.

“How dare you? I’ll make sure you step deep into the nails.” He lets go of my neck, making me fall heavily on the ground.

“Jack! Jack!!” He called out.

“My Alpha?”

“Pass the broccoli sauce to my slave. Let her eat before her punishment tomorrow.” He ordered, and Jack bowed before he stormed out of the cell.
