Chapter 8
My little wolf is a conniving bitch! LEONE I grabbed Lena's waist and slammed into her again. Her moans bounced off the walls, making me increase my pace. She begged me not to stop. I didn't plan to.I needed release. My blood boiled from everything — my father, the forced marriage, and that wolf girl who looked and spoke at me like I was beneath her. I grunted, pulling Lena closer, moving harder. She whimpered sweet moans, her nails digging into my back. A knock came on the door just as I was buried deep inside her. I ignored it since it came soft and unsure. Whoever was there will get the hell away once he realizes I was in the middle of something important. But the knock came again, a little high and still unsure. “Go away,” I growled, not even slowing down. I could feel myself getting nearer to release. Another knock, and this time it was louder. I cursed under my breath. My rhythm faltered, and Lena whimpered. I didn’t care. I was already in a bad mood. That damn wolf girl had been crawling in my head since the moment she stepped into my house. The nerve of her to glare at me like I wasn’t the Alpha in this place. Like she had no right to talk back. The audacity of her to look me in the eye and insult me. “Leone,” a voice came from behind the door. And I knew instantly it was Philip. He was the only one who would dare disturb my moment and went as far as calling me by my name. “What?!” I snapped. “What the hell do you want, now? Are you so daft that you can't understand a simple go away?” “I need to speak with you,” he snapped right back at me. I paused and blink at the door. I hissed and turned to Lena as I pounded into her, and her hands shot out as it gripped the shit. "Leone?” “Come back in the morning,” I grunted out. "It’s time-critical.” I cursed. “Fucking hell!” Lena bit her lip. “Don’t stop, please.” But I was already pulled out of it, the mood gone. I let out a frustrated growl. Lena whimpered again as I yanked myself out of her ass, and she whimpered once more. I smirked as she reached my wrist, trying to pull me back in. “Later.” I stormed to the door, completely naked, not giving a damn. I yanked it open. Philip stood there, eyes wide, and immediately looked away. He cleared his throat and stared at the floor. “Speak,” I barked. “Now.” “There was an escape attempt,” he said. The words hit me like fire. “Who?” I already knew the answer, but I needed to hear it. “Seraphina,” he said quietly. “She disguised herself as a maid. She nearly made it past the gate, but I stopped her.” My fist slammed against the doorframe. The wood cracked under my strength. “That wolf,” I muttered. “That little brat. She really thinks she can run." I slammed the door beside me after reaching out to grab my pants at the doorway. The sound cracked through the hall. Lena flinched behind me. “That bitch,” I said, struggling into my pants while Philip stayed quiet, looking away. “Always testing me. Always pushing me.” I stormed past him and turned without another word, not bothering to pick a shirt. She thought I wouldn’t notice her absence. She thought I wouldn’t find out. She always played the innocent role, but I knew better. Philip stayed silent. He knew better than to speak when I was this angry. I moved fast, my bare chest rising with fury. My blood boiled. She wanted to run? From me? From this house? Who authorized it? Who told her she was free? She would learn. I reached the hallway where she stood whilst playing with her fingers. She stood there in the maid uniform; her eyes widened when she saw me. She stepped back, but her back hit the wall, and hair fell over her shoulders in messy waves, and her lips trembled though she tried to hide it. I didn’t care how innocent she looked. She was dangerous in her own way. Clever and sneaky like a cat. She was nothing but a thorn in my side. But damn it, just looking at her now, she looked good in that outfit. She's better than the palace maids in them. My eyes snagged on her fresh thighs; the dress had been too short to cover. She must have been rushing not to bother about a more comfortable dress. My eyes trailed up and I paused at her cleavage. Damn, those breasts peaked out beautifully. They looked so enticing, and her chest rising and falling made it out to concentrate. What was she thinking dressing up like this? I walked closer as my eyes roamed her full lips. I felt the sudden urge to wreck those lips. “I see you’ve already gotten used to your duties,” I said slowly, my eyes still resting on her lips. She frowned. “What do you mean?” I stepped closer. “You must really want to work as a maid. Seeing you in one of the uniforms suits you better. I must say it fits better than expected." I paused and intentionally gave her a low, dark look from toe to head but stopped at her breast. “It makes you look useful, at least.” I mused sweetly. Her eyes widened in realization of what I was suggesting, and her cheeks flushed, and she hurriedly looked down, ashamed or maybe angry. I couldn’t tell, but I liked the way her body reacted. “You tried to escape,” I said, voice low, deep. “Did you really think you could leave without me knowing? Did you forget who owns this house?” “I’m not your prisoner,” she spat, her fiat curling beside her. “You don’t want me, and I don’t want you. So why are we doing this?” The tone in her voice made something snap in me. “Oh, you don’t want me?” I mocked. “Yet you agreed to this and moved to stay under my roof. Didn't you eat my food? And breathe my air.” “I never asked for this alliance!” she yelled. “You made it clear you hate me!” Her voice cracked and tears welled up in her eyes, but I wasn't concerned about that facade. She raised her chin, trying to look strong. “Hate?” I laughed darkly. “Yes, of course I hate you. I don’t feel anything for you. You’re just a job I didn’t ask for.” “Then let me go!” she screamed. “Let me live my life somewhere else. You can go back to sleeping with women like that one!” “You’re not going anywhere,” I said as a smile snagged on my lips at her last words. Was she jealous I was sleeping with other women? Does she want me to do that to her? Don't worry, we'll do that soon, baby! “You can’t keep me here like a prisoner!” she yelled. “This is not freedom. This is hell!” I stepped forward, filling the remaining inch. Before she could react, I grabbed her waist and yanked her into me. Her body slammed against mine. Her soft breast pressed against my bare skin in a delicious way, sending tingles down to my monster. She gasped, a shaky breath leaving her lips. Her hands pushed against my chest, but I didn’t let go.Chapter 12LEONE She flinched, and I stepped back towards the door. I caught her hands and pushed her into the bathroom."Don't make me lose my temper, Seraphina." I barked. "Or–" I pressed my fingers to her lips, and she swatted it away. “– do you like being punished?” She shuddered, drawing in a long breath as she shakes her head like a good puppy."Good. I thought so. I hate punishing you.” I answered softly, but she gave me this look, like I was out of my mind. And maybe I'm. But I don't give a fuck about her opinion. I'm in charge here and will forever be.I moved to the sofa after wiping my hands off. "Make yourself comfortable on the stool." I watched her move carefully without complaining and sat on it. My little wolf is too tired to fight me off, which will only make what I've in mind so interesting."Take off your clothes.” I commanded whilst leaning in comfortably on the sofa, eyes on Sera sitting on the stool in the bathroom. "No.” She grinds out, shooting out of the s
Chapter 11Highest form of humiliation SERAPHINA The sky started to change as night faded into morning. The wind felt cooler on my skin. My arms felt weak, and my legs barely moved. I washed the last plate and wiped it slowly. My fingers stung, and my nails cracked. The water turned brown and greasy. I still smell of the garbage water Leone had disposed of on me, but it's dried up a little. My skin itches me, and the more I scratch, the more it gets red.I looked at the heap of clean plates and sighed. Now I had to take them back.I bent down and picked up the first stack. My back ached, but I didn’t stop. One trip. Two trips. Three. I didn’t count out loud, but I knew when it was ten. I felt each one in my bones.I walked into the kitchen with the last stack. The maids were there, standing close together. They stopped working when I came in. Their eyes landed on me. I smelled like sweat, soap, and waste water. My feet were bare since I discarded my shoes so I wouldn't trip and bre
Chapter 10SERAPHINA I stood frozen, and my chest tightened at his words. Leone was cruel; everyone knew about that, but this was the highest form of cruelty I've witnessed. And to think it was melted out to me.“She's to start immediately.” His words kept on echoing repeatedly in my head. My heart dropped, and a realization dawned on me. The Lycan monster was really going to do this to me? Work… as a maid? Me? The future Luna as a maid? – or so I thought since I got married to him, which would automatically make me his Luna. But then no words about the coronation had been spoken, and apparently grandfather Lucien seems to have disappeared from the palace.My gaze snagged back at Leone, but his expression remained unreadable; his eyes were stony and boring into me too. The kind of look that sends shivers down your spine, but I wasn't one to be scared of his looks. His voice had been calm, like he was talking about the weather. My mouth opened, but no words came out.“You can’t be se
Chapter 9My Lycan husband is evil!SERAPHINA“Let me go,” I said through gritted teeth, but Leone didn’t even blink.His hand stayed rough and firm around my waist. I pushed at his chest, twisted my body, but it was like trying to move a wall. He didn’t budge. I could feel every breath he took. I hated how easily he controlled me. I hated how my body trembled, not just with fear but something else I would rather not name.“Please,” I said again, louder. “Let go of me.”He leaned in closer, his lips brushing my ears. “I’m trying to show you the importance of this alliance,” he whispered against my ear, his breath warm.My whole body stiffened. His voice crawled over my skin. I hated the way he spoke to me like he owned me, like he could touch me anytime he wanted. I hated the way his voice sounded like they're the most beautiful thing in this world. His fingers moved slowly, sliding towards the underside of my breast. I held my breath as the feelings crawled around me; my eyes closed

Chapter 7First escapeSERAPHINALong after Leone left, I sat on the bed, still holding my neck. His fingers weren’t around it anymore, but it still felt like they were. I could feel his breath in my ear, his voice inside my head. Every word he said, every threat, it stayed with me. It was like poison, sinking deeper and deeper into my bones.He really hated me. I knew it before, but now I could feel it in every part of me. Maybe he'd kill me and send my dead body to my father, or maybe I'd live the rest of my life in this palace in fear. He had left an hour ago, but my heart still beat too fast for what had transpired. I wrapped my arms around myself, trying to breathe slowly. I wanted to cry, but the tears had dried up days ago.I couldn’t stay here anymore. It was a bad decision to accept to do this in a brave way. I needed to leave.But where would I go? The question tormented me, but one thing I knew I was never going to return to my father. My father was the one who gave me awa
