Drenched in sweat, water, and fatigue, Ariel expelled a huge sigh for what ought to be the one hundredth time. It was way over that anyway, but sighing so much could not do a thing to change her circumstance.Being a slave was her life now and nothing she did and no matter how many damaged bones she got, she was still what she was. It would be repaired, and her suffering would continue.She let out another sigh and wiped the sweat on her forehead with the back of her hand.She stopped for a moment and stared at the sink. The dishes kept coming in. The pack was hosting a triumph party, and they invited an abundance of people.Not to add that, the alpha had conquered a different and small pack and blended them into theirs, making the numbers available, twice higher than what it used to be, and she was the only one in the kitchen doing the dishes.Her stomach growled, indicating how hollow it was, and her wolf whimpered in pain of her own. It’s been how many days already? She asked hersel

EPISODE 3: Darkness seems better FLASHBACK.The night was gloomy, and it was peculiarly cold. Little Ariel had a blanket over her body as she watched the streets while her mother carried her on her thighs. It was late, and she was waiting for her father. However, the family was complete and, unlike the other times, her father was late and had indeed missed dinner. Every single man, woman and kid was presence, it was regularly a ritual to have dinner together at least and he had missed it. It made her worry and sad that she wished to wait out for him with her mom.That was when they heard the chaos, the fire that quickly rose from a distant. Her mother hurled up from her sit and carried Ariel in her arms in alarm too. Everyone flew into the house for fear of what was happening. Werewolves were attacking and killing people, and they had to hide. "Everyone!! Get inside!" But her father wasn’t back yet and while her mother gave orders, she had mistakenly kept her little daughter dow

EPISODE 5: Wishes and deathAriel was back at the kitchen and this time, her hands were all red and her skin itched with irritation and irrationality. Tears were dripping from her eyes and her nose dripped so much, it had further turned red. However, her tears weren’t for the pain she was feeling in her gut, due to the fact that she had not eaten for days, neither was it because of the pain and ache her chest and bones felt for laying on the cold, hard ground for days, it was not because of the thirst her throat felt that seemed like it was burning neither was it for the pathetic life she was living. It was because of the punishment she was serving. Rather than coming into the kitchen to work like every other slave was, she was being given a punishment for waking up late. Her eyes watered as she turned to the bag of chili pepper right before her. It had not gotten anyway yet. Her body was burning so much. How was she supposed to peel them all?“How can I ever finish this?” her though

Luckily for her, he walked past her like she didn't even exist. She was sure he had something to do in his room, if not, he would have stopped to hit her and for the first time, she was grateful for the fact that someone ignored her. Maybe he was storming into the room to look for her, her subconsciousness said. She quickly hurried to the kitchen.As she got back to the kitchen, the feeling of dread at what awaits her, befell upon her. She was still in pain over what he did to her, and she knew that there would be more work awaiting her as she got there.She was right, as she stepped into the kitchen, she saw the heap of plates awaiting her return, and the head maid was ever so kind to point it out."You have to finish up the dishes. I asked one of the girls to begin the work after your little fiasco," she said, sneering, as she obviously believed that she had no reason to have fainted upon hearing their great alpha's name."After you're done with them, let me know, so I can compile th

In tears, she walked into her room. She couldn’t help but think about how she’d cope with such treatment for the rest of her life. She sniffled, as she wiped her tears before shutting the door behind her. Ariel knew she had to get used to this sort of treatment, as there was no one to even help her.She knew there would be no one to stand up for her, but deep down, she wanted someone to. She wanted someone that would always take a stand for her, someone who would punish anyone who dared to say shameless things about her, but sadly, she had no one.Remembering all these, tears streamed down her cheeks. She remembered all the shameless words those alphas had spoken about her and worst of it all, they didn’t say it behind her, they’d said it right in front of her.Didn’t they think she’d have feelings? Did they not think she was a creature who had the right to feel bad whenever such things were sad about her? She slid to the ground in tears. All she wanted was to live a decent life, one,
