AMBER.I looked up to see Aiden who had a very devilish smile wrapped around his lips. He relished every single thing that was gkingnon, the treatment I was receiving and the horrible embarrassment and humiliation that he was going to subject me to. I felt like going up to him and throwing the back of my hand across his cheeks but I couldn't even stand the shock of the slap I had gotten from the guard. I was still trying to get myself together when another hit landed on my back, stirring back the pain of the scars in my back. A scream left my throat immediately and it felt as though my whole back had been paralysed. I yelled in pain and tried to breathe but it felt as though my wind pipe had been blocked. I raised my hand at the guard, choking as I held my throat with the other hand. He kicked away my hand with anger before he reached for my throat, grabbed me up and threw me to the floor again. Another yell of approbation rang from the crowd. And that's when I knew I was in trouble

AMBER. His gaze flickered as the words left my mouth. It seemed to hit him right in but I knew I was only being honest. He was a monster and I wished he would die soon enough. Aiden responded coldly when next he spoke. "You brought this on yourself. You disrespected me, and you disrespected the pack. We are all synonymous and the moment you're found wanting in one area, you are in for one world of hurt. In case you have no idea, this is what the beginning stages look like. Hope you are enjoying it." He chuckled, his eyes flashing happily. I replied firmly "I won't apologize for standing up for myself, ok? I will never bow before you and offer you forgiveness for doing the right thing. You know I never did anything wrong. You know that. But like every pussy, you keep listening to your feelings. You know I'm innocent, Aiden. And I will tell you again, I no longer give a f*ck. I'm sure you're happy now. You have me trapped in your web and I'm all yours to do whatever you want to. You

AMBER.Aiden was the one who helped me off the whipping and the horrible treatment I was receiving. "That's enough, Ziko." He said with a silent expression on his face. Soon enough, the whole crowd dispersed, leaving me battered and broken on the ground. My whole body was still still from the impact of the beating and the battered punishment that I had been through the whole night. The guards took me back to the dungeons soon after, where I wept throughout the night. I was just heartbroken because of everything that was going on in my life. And the purr humiliation was something I was never going to forget for the rest of my life. It was just so harrowing and so painful that I couldn't get my mind off it. I felt like exploding and accusing parents or rather blaming them for everything but I just kept thinking that maybe it was all for the best. Maybe you would get out of this mess someday and it would teach me all I had to know about life. The pain was so unbearable and it just didn

AIDEN. I didn't mind calling on the council to debate on this issue because at the end of the day, they would all have something to say and it wouldn't be done quickly. It ended up taking a lot of time which I didn't like. I guessed just signing it and getting it over with was the easy thing I could do at that moment. The next document was a report from the patrol unit in the Pack boundary, detailing the recent activities of rogues near our territory. They had always told me about that but I knew that they wouldn't dare to attack u less they were drunk. Nobody in their right minds dared to attack us. Anybody attacking us must have given up on life and was just looking for a way to end it. I wondered why the activities were increasing each day and what the rogues might be planning. But I didn't give it a thought. It was an insult to even think about or worry about rogues. The men reported that they were attacking some neighbouring Packs and they usually had some activity right out

AIDEN.A week had passed since the incident with Amber and things were already back to normal. There hadn't been any public punishment except for a beheading that had taken place two days after she had been punished brutally. I haven't gone to see how she was faring because I wanted her to rot there and go through pain before I went to see her again. I imagined she wouldn't be able to stand. I would go to see her to know what she looked like. I imagined her looking so haggard and so weathered when I would want to see her. But today I decided to go see her and know how she was doing. I had this feeling of anticipation bubbling inside me as I walked towards the dungeons from my office. As usual, I had been dealing with a lot of paperwork before even thinking about my office. I had a lot of things I had been working on alone so it wasn't surprising that things were happening this way. I had ordered that Amber be given food two days after she had been almost beaten to death and tended
