Kahlan POVAfter some minutes that Hardin had left, I couldn't stop thinking. All that Hardin had explained to me kept replaying itself in my head.I don't regret what happened to him. In fact, I desperately want him to die. Even though I knew how much it would affect me. But if someone could be so wicked, why doesn't he die?The only regret I had was sleeping with him without confirming things.I don't know why that had to happen to me. Why did the moon goddess do this evil to me?Why? Why can't Mathias have appeared earlier? Why did it have to be now?The breeze murmured in my ears as if answering my questions. The air around me felt chilly and I wrapped my arms around myself.The tears left my eyes and I let it be. I don't even know what would happen to me now. What would Eric do to me when he wakes up?Would he kill me? Well, that would be better. I'm so tired of all this. I closed my sticky eyes..I opened my eyes slowly and realized I was on the cold floor. I must have slept of

Kahlan POVHe rubbed his forehead for a moment and turned around, as if in deep thought. Then, he turned towards me again."And you believed him?" He asked, with eyes gone wide.I regarded him for a moment. "Is he not your brother?"He huffed and observed me for another moment. " Are you kidding me? You believe my brother but you don't believe me?"I looked away. " Your family is indeed full of mystery but you've lied to me once, I can't trust you again. I know you killed my uncle because you heard about it all. And you intentionally took the wolfsbane because you wanted to impress me," I pointed an accusing finger at him." What?" He exclaimed. " And Hardin told you all this?"I shook my head briefly. " I don't need Hardin to tell me it was you that killed my uncle. My father's heart was ripped out, the same as what had happened to my uncle. It was undoubtedly you!"Eric sighed. " I told you severally, Kahlan. I didn't kill your father. I didn't kill your pack," he stressed.I regard

Kahlan POV "I'm going to reject you, Eric!" I repeated in a thick voice. My anger was boiling in me. I felt my body vibrate so hard that it felt like something bad might happen to me soon. No! All I ever wanted at this moment is to kill Eric or to kill myself. Or both! "You wouldn't dare, Kahlan!" Eric muttered in a thick voice. " You wouldn't even dare to kill yourself! I will save you no matter what. You will eventually ask me. You will eventually want a taste of my cock and you will come back to beg for it." " You are insane, Eric!" I snapped. " You are insane if you think all this would happen!" Even though, it's exactly what I want but I don't have the luxury of time to adhere to what my feelings want. He took two heavy steps towards me and slowly tilted my head. I struggled with him but his hand was firmly holding my head in place. "The more you struggle with me, the more pathetic you will get. Like I've said Kahlan, you will be mine eventually. You don't have a choice."

Sonia POVI stared up at Michelle for a moment as she continued to give places to the maid. I've been working harder to get a job as the Alpha's dresser.I mean aside from the fact that I get to be with Eric, my allowance would increase. I would even get a separate room.Damn, it's all I ever want. I'm so tired of sharing a room with these bitches and stinking maids. I can't wait to get to the top.And for Kahlan, I'm not at all worried about her. I hate her in the first place anyways. I don't care if she gets killed as long as she stays out of my way.I'm going to have Eric no matter what. I'm not bothered about his crimes or the fact that he might have been the one to kill my family. I'm getting revenge but not until I get the power. This is why I say Kahlan is very stupid. How could she directly fight with Eric? Eric is very strong, a big Lycan Alpha at that. Does she think she can defeat him? No wonder she's getting locked up. I don't pity her, I just don't want her to meddle in

Kahlan POVA few minutes after Hardin had left, I was still confused. I couldn't cry again because it looked like I had no tears in my eyes.The dungeon got colder as the night went deeper. The clothes I was putting on did little to warm me up. I sat and pulled my body closer.But the cold wouldn't stop and I ended up shivering so hard that it felt like I might die from it. It felt like all the air in the whole universe was concentrated on me.I tried to close my eyes, perhaps I would stop feeling the pain when I'm asleep.Suddenly, a soft fur came over my body and I looked up at Hardin. I didn't move yet and I doubt he saw my eyes open. It was getting rather dark in the dungeon."Damn, you are shivering," he exclaimed softly as if trying not to wake me up.I acted like I was asleep but I continued to watch him.He stepped back after the quilt was all me. "See you in the morning. Don't worry, he wouldn't know about this, Kahlan," and that was when I sat up, shocked for a moment.I had
