Chapter 98SEBASTIAN’S POVIt’s been three days now. Three days of being locked up in this cold cell. Three days of being without food or water. Three fucking days of screaming my lungs out.The cell they kept me in was far from the main part of the station. Yelling wouldn’t help much since they wouldn’t hear me well. So I decided to stop screaming; otherwise, I might lose my voice.I hadn’t eaten or had anything to drink since they put me here. What’s weird is that I didn’t really feel it. I was too occupied with my fate in Catherine’s case and also wondering how Brianna was doing to even think about food and water.I slumped against the wall, feeling defeated and helpless. Maybe the Association of Alpha Kings could help me, but that could take a while. Plus, there’s a chance they might believe these idiots and accuse me wrongly. If that happens, getting out of here will be even tougher.Being stuck here was awful. It made me feel restless, lonely, and feel like I was losing my mind!
Chapter 99: SEBASTIAN’S POV“What the heck?” My face twisted in shock. Was that why she was here? To make them believe even more that I killed Catherine, making things worse for me? I just can’t believe it. Annoyance crept over my face, and I tried to speak, but the detective beat me to it.“You better seal that leaking hole before I do it for you,” she told Rose with an expression that could make an elephant cry. “You’re in no position to tell me how to do my job.”Rose let out an annoyed sigh and rolled her eyes, crossing her arms over her chest like a teenager who wasn’t allowed to do the cool stuff her friends were doing.I held back what I wanted to say since it seemed the detective had it under control. She turned to me.“Good morning, Alpha Sebastian,” she greeted, and I nodded, keeping a straight face. The morning could have been better with a cup of coffee, or even water and a snack. It looked like she forgot I hadn’t been fed since her minions tossed me into that cell. Qu
Chapter 100BRIANNA’S POVIt’s only been three days, but it feels like an eternity without him. The castle has turned colder and oddly quiet in his absence. Everyone has changed since they took him, fearing he might never return. The guards lied to me – they assured me he’d be back soon, but it feels like it’s taking forever.I don’t know how long I stood by the window, looking out as I wore a gloomy, dry smile on my face. I felt like the pregnant wife of a Viking warrior, waiting patiently for his return even though there was a high chance he wouldn’t. I kept waiting to hear a car honk, a police siren—anything signalling he had come back and an assurance that he wouldn’t be taken away again. But it didn’t seem like that would happen anytime soon.I couldn’t help but wonder what might be holding him back. Could they have started the trial and sent him to a high-security prison? Maybe they’ve hurt him, and he’s badly injured in the hospital?When I thought about the worst-case scenario
Chapter 101SEBASTIAN’S POVOnce the police vehicle dropped me off, everyone at the castle rushed towards me, hugging me like I’d been away for ages. They welcomed me warmly, overjoyed to have their king back.“I knew you’d come back,” one of my right-hand guards, Khan said, looking at me with proud eyes. “Even when others did, I never for once lost faith in you. I’m glad you’re back.”We greeted with handshakes and hearty manly hugs. I shared the same vibe with my guards and even gave some of the castle maids friendly hugs.The head maid couldn’t contain her joy when she saw me. Rushing over, despite her petite size, she hugged me so heavy it almost knocked me off balance.“I knew you’d return,” she said, her voice choked with emotion. A lump formed in her throat, and the next thing I felt was wetness on my shoulder. “You’re not a murderer. Those detectives should be fired for putting you through all that humiliation…”She pulled away, held my cheeks and turned my face side to side,
Chapter 1BRIANNA’S POVThe tears I fought so hard to hold back prickled my eyes and rolled down my cheeks as I stood naked in front of the mirror. Bruises and scars adorned me to the extent I found my body unrecognizable. Stifling a sob, I wiped the teardrops that escaped my moist eyes. The sun had just risen and it’ll be bad luck to begin my day with tears of sorrow.Grabbing my hairbrush from my vanity table, I brushed my hair slowly, letting out a slight wince as the bristles untangled my twists. I sat down and applied makeup to conceal my black eye and the bruise on the side of my lips. Hermes always wanted me to look my best for him no matter what.He threatened to pluck out the eyeballs of any other male including his guards who dared look at me with desire, and that was his main reason for keeping me locked up in his castle; to have me all for himself.There was a tap on the door and I rose in an instant, sliding into my panties and a long gathered gown to hide the remaining ma
Chapter 2BRIANNA’S POV“You’re so pretty,” he said as he clutched my chin, forcing me to look at him. “Of all the girls I have been with so far, you seem to be the… prettiest."He turned my face from side to side as I shivered, studying it. With that look on his face, I knew where it was all heading. And it wasn’t good.“My lord please, not again,” I whimpered. "It hadn't been long I returned from the hospital...I'm not strong enough...maybe next time. Please..."He turned deaf to my pleas. Before I could beg some more, he jacked me up and balanced me on his right shoulder, spanking my bare butt as he marched to his bed. He landed me roughly and my head throbbed, a wince escaping me.“My lord, please stop.”I wobbled back toward the headboard of the bed, supported by my elbow, shivering with fear. He already stripped, his hard-on ready to defile me, dangling with each movement he made. The bed dipped as he mounted but I flinched back, curling myself away from him like a scared kitten.
CHAPTER 3 BRIANNA’S POV The more I struggled, the more their tight grip scraped against my flesh, making it red hot with pain. They dragged me as we descended the stairs to an underground part of the castle I never knew existed. Where could they be taking me? “Where are you taking me?” I forced words from my bared teeth and they ignored as though I didn’t talk. I continued screaming, perhaps someone might come to my rescue but then I remembered it was all pointless. Who would go against Hermes’s wishes and commands in his castle? All the screams I voiced. All the shrills which were loud enough to crack the walls of the entire castle when he defiled and punished me fell on deaf ears. We took a turn and stopped by a door with a small screen glued to the side. One of the guards crouched and looked into it as light rays scanned his eyeballs. The door squeaked and clicked open. They dragged me into the room and a rush of cold air swept past me, prickling my pale bare skin. It looked l
CHAPTER 4 SEBASTIAN’S POV I never participated in the Omega slave auction. I was more of a observer than a bidder. I never even fancied the idea of coming to begin with, but it was compulsory for all Alpha kings, so I had to drag myself to this underground hall every year to sit and observe beautiful but battered, naked female omegas get sold. When I saw her cower into the stage like a frightened kitten, I was restless and immediately drawn to her. I couldn’t help but place the opening bid, sending the crowd gasping in shock. They found it hard to believe I was finally participating after all these years of dormancy. Although her body was strewn with bruises and scars, I still found her beauty undeniable with her misty blonde hair, delicate features, and her slim, curvy figure. Her undeniable beauty wasn’t all that drew me to her. When the auctioneer raised her chin, I looked right into her swollen red eyes and noticed a damsel in distress. They smouldered with pain too heavy for a
