Trigger Warning!
This book contains torture scenes in some parts of the chapters. I will do my best to leave a small note at the beginning of the chapters that contains torture scenes.
This is the second book of Descendants Of Moon Goddess, and for the new readers there are some things you won’t understand in the book's continuation, but I will try to explain the best way I can at the end of the chapter. And I got some mean comments in my last book about how my FL was weak in the first few chapters, please if you can’t handle weak female leads don’t bother reading, we all have gone through a point in our life where we were vulnerable but overcome it so please, no mean comments. Have a splendid reading!
***********************
I stay in the dark room, my body shivering in great fear as I wait for her to come. Cold sweat running down my back, making my light clothes stick to my skin. I know what is coming for me, the pain that is about to come, and I can’t do anything to stop it. I am stuck in between a rock and I have no one to save me. She controls me and I have to do as she says. If not, there will be a great consequence for my action. The night was dark and silent, but I could hear the rats running around. Some even passed my leg and clawed at it, but I did nothing because, in a way, I am like that rat. I am always running from humans, itching to survive, but in my case I am running from a demon, a demon that controls me and I have to do as the demon says. My life and survival depend on that demon, and I have no control over it.
I heard the familiar sound of heels coming; it echoed down the hallway. Tears stung my eyes as I realize I am yet to be put through another series of pain and I can’t do anything about it. I am weak. I hide behind people to save me, but right now there is nobody here to save me. I have to face this alone. She took her time walking closer to the room. She never rushed because she knows I have nowhere to run. I am her puppet. The door opened slowly and her shining stiletto black heels came inside first, followed by the rest of her body.
I gulped as my eyes connected with her black orbs, a nasty smirk dancing on her lips as she inhaled my fear. She loves it when I shake in front of her like a vulnerable child. I am below her and she controls me. Which is quite ironic for a woman of my status.
“Look at you, shaking and shivering,” she said, her voice taunting and teasing making my fear increase. She walked closer to me while I moved back instinctively, trying to get away from her. I stopped moving back as my back hit the wall. She was just two inches away from me, breathing the same air I was. I shivered as her black and well-polished nails move under my jaw, cutting into my skin. That is how sharp it is. Then she raised my head up, looking deep into my fearful orbs.
“Fight me,” she whispered, her eyes daring me. That is what she always does, playing mind games and giving me the opportunity to fight her, but I can’t I am powerless against her and she knows it.
“You can’t?” she taunts, her nails digging into my skin. I whimpered, closing my eyes.
“How about your wolf? Where is she?” She taunts me, knowing very well that every night I am in the demon kingdom, I take wolfbane just to weaken my wolf and I must take it because she makes sure I do. She chuckled, her nails digging into my face. I bite my lips, holding in the pain.
“Aren’t you going to cry out, Lillian?” she asked, pushing my already broken ribs. I groan, holding my pain. This is just the beginning of the long night.
“Answer me!” she yelled, kicking my jaw harshly. I winced, hearing my bones breaking.
“N.no” I answered, tears running down my eyes.
“I thought so,‘’ she said, using her powers to slam me against the hard wall. My back making a dent in the wall, while my bones break.
“What are the rules Lillian?” she asked, like she always did.
“Stay away from A. sher” I whispered, closing my eyes because of the stinging pain in my back.
“Good, stay away from him. He doesn’t deserve a weak wolf like you. He needs someone strong and beautiful beside him, and you are none of that. You are a lowly wolf with no powers to match mine,” she said, and I nodded my head, absorbing her cruel words. But she was right. I am a lowly wolf and I don’t deserve him because I can’t defend myself. I let people do whatever they want with me, and that is why I am here.
“Now, strip. We don’t have all night,” she commanded and like the obedient slave I am, I stood up and removed my clothes, revealing the deep stab wounds, whip marks, claws strike, purple and blue bruises and including the infected wounds. I can’t heal because I don’t have my wolf and once again she is about to decorate my body into what she calls perfection and I have no say about it because I am everything she says I am.
Lillian Pov“Mommy! Wake up!” I heard Zira’s voice, followed by her jumping on my bruised back. I bite my lip in pain before turning around. She was smiling at me widely, and her smile reminded me so much of Asher.“Hey princess,” I said, sitting up. I cleared my throat because my voice is hoarse. “Good morning mommy” she said, pecking my cheeks. I smiled, rubbing her hair, but she looked at me expectantly, like she wanted me to say something.“What?” I asked. She groaned, slamming her forehead.“Today is my birthday, but you forgot,” she said, looking at me sadly. I suddenly remembered she was turning 10 today, and I totally forgot.“I am so sorry princess, I am thinking about a lot of things,” I said, rubbing her black hair. “It’s okay, but we need to start with the preparations. Guests will start arriving,” she said, standing up happily. I smiled, looking at her as she ran out. She is not really excited about her birthday, she is just excited about her cousins coming. It has been
Lillian PovAfter sitting down uncomfortably in Asher’s chamber, I literally ran out with no words spoken and not even a thank you. I am super nervous and I do not know what is in store for me, but right now I have to smile widely and pretend I am thrilled because I don’t want Octavia to catch on my mood. I head to the hall alone, covering the bandage on my head with my hair. When I got to the hall, the birthday was in a dark theme, as usual. Dark balloons and dark decorations. To me, it felt like a funeral and even the guest was not happy, only the demons were happy. I see my twin brother and his mate with pups and I walk towards them smiling widely, well I see them all the time, but I have been in the demon kingdom for 3 weeks now.“Hey guys, glad you could make it,” I said, my voice sounding like I was the happiest person in the world. Octavia turned to me and she was looking beautiful as usual. She is wearing a golden gown, the gown hugs her curves in the right places. Her white h
Lillian PovThe party is finally in full swing. Zira is wearing a purple gown like her cousins, her black hair is set free with beautiful flowers on it. She is now looking so beautiful, happy, carefree and just being a child. She and the boys are dancing together, rolling around like they normally do during parties. The songs are now more kids friendly and you know what Octavia did? She forced Alma to serve us food and Octavia changed her mind so many times just to make Amla walk all around and still yet she didn’t eat the food and settled for water. Alma looks frustrated, and Asher is not even looking at her. His attention is solely on her and Octavia’s conversation. I wanted to laugh so bad, Octavia is such a savage and I am genuinely happy she is here because she made my princess happy. “She looks happy,” Octavia said, looking at Zira. Zira was laughing terribly because Hayden was tickling her. Hayden loves Zira, and I wondered maybe it’s because his siblings are boys.“She does,”
Trigger Warning!Lillian PovI groaned, biting my lips in pain as the whip, soaked in silver, landed on my back for the 100th time this night.“You think you can break rules!” she yelled, hitting me again. I whimpered in exhaustion as hot tears fell down my eyes. My back was aching and throbbing in pain, and she wasn’t done with me. “You found amusement in me being embarrassed?” she asked, whipping me into the back again. I winced, closing my eyes in pain.“Answer me, bitch!” she yelled, whipping me again, the pressure increasing by the second. “N.no” I whimpered. She dropped the whip and pulled me up by my hair. And once again, I couldn’t fight back because of how weak I am. She looked into my eyes, her hand tightening around my hair.“Repeat after me,” she growled, her canine dropping and I can feel it in my body that she was feeding on my energy. I can barely move a muscle.“I am nothing, just a worthless and weak wolf,” she growled and with a shaky lip, I repeated what she said
Lillian Pov It has been three days since I left the demon kingdom. I didn’t follow them back because of Alma. At least she can’t attack me here. Octavia and Silver will spot her out in a second. I know I shouldn’t be hiding in their shadows, but I have no choice but to hide. I know they will protect me and I can rely on them, but I am just scared of what will happen to Zira. That is why I haven’t been vocal. I’d rather suffer in silence than let my pup be affected. My injuries have been healing slowly, but they don’t open up again. I walked through the kingdom ground, heading to the training ground. I don’t really train, but I like to watch them, especially Octavia. She is hilarious during training and it’s sometimes fun to see her savaging people. No, I lied. It’s always fun, but when I got there, she wasn’t there. It was Axel; the beta anchoring the training. “Where is Octavia?” I asked. He turned to me. “There you are. She told me to tell you to come to the conference room,”
Lillian PovIt has been two days since I came back to the demon kingdom and all the physicians that have come kept saying the same thing. There is no cure. Zira is becoming more pale, the veins are becoming bigger and some are protruding out of her skin. I am getting more worried and scared because she looks like she is slowly dying and there is nothing I can do. Asher traveled today to personally meet a famous physician on the outskirts of the kingdom, so I don’t know how long that will take, but I hope he comes back with good news. I clean the sweat forming on her face gently. Her skin is so pale and icy but somehow she sweats like she is inside a volcano. I breathe out tiredly, just looking at her. Then the door opened and Alma came in, looking elegant as usual. But I can see she is wearing a wig. I ripped most her hair off.“What are you doing here?” I growled, standing up from the bed. She gave me a cruel smirk.“You know, you had the guts to lay your filthy hands on me,” s
Lillian PovIt has been two weeks since my encounter with Alma, and things have been worse. Zira’s condition is becoming worse. She doesn’t eat but only vomits blood. Her body is more of bones and flesh. Every time she would scream and trash, itching and clawing at her skin and those times only Asher can hold her because she just has this strength and all I can do is just cry helplessly, looking at her. At this point, I highly doubt she will make it in 3 months. Also, for two weeks, Alma has been abusing me physically and mentally. My skin is way worse than before, but now that I actually have proof to show Asher, I can’t, because my daughter’s safety lies in her hands. I am exhausted. I haven’t spoken a word to Asher, and he thinks I am ignoring him, but I am actually not ignoring him. Alma is always in the shadows, monitoring my movements. I beg her a lot of times to kill me but free my daughter, but it’s like she wants to see me suffer for the humiliation I caused her even thou
Lillian PovIt was the next day, and I woke up on my bed with a massive migraine. My head was throbbing, and it felt like they hit my head with a hammer. I tried to remember what happened last night and how I got to the bed. Then I remembered everything, Alma telling me to go to Asher so they can spend the night. I wondered if they spent the night together. He doesn’t like her right, so that means they didn’t spend the night together. I sighed, coming down from the bed, then I dragged myself to the bathroom. I took my bath using the hot shower and after bathing I went to my closet and threw on some black clothes, then I headed to Zira’s room to check up on her. I don’t know where Asher and I will end, if we will end up together or split. I don’t know nor do I see a future for us together, but I hope whatever happens with us shouldn’t affect Zira in any way and let her be okay, because that is the only thing I want for her. I got to her room and opened the door and it surprised me
