All Chapters of Despised by my Alpha mates, Claimed by their foe! : Chapter 21 - Chapter 30

Bellatrix lay on a red divan in the lounging area, by the orders of her mate of course. Even though this area was meant to be somewhat accessible to the public, at this moment, she was the only individual present aside from the employees. It was still the evening after Luna Katelyn's attack. Luckily for Bellatrix, she had come out of it mostly unharmed but the pack doctor had come to her residence to tend to her. She was about to doze off when she heard a knock. On opening the door, she found it was one of the Alpha's personal guards who had come to inform her that the Alpha wanted her at the Royal lounge. She wanted to decline but thought against it. She reasoned that the Alpha must be feeling a lot of emotions. She knew he didn't love her even though she was his mate. The one he loved was Katelyn but now the latter had messed up badly. Now the one he didn't love was the victim and the one he loved was in prison. She had heard some pack members whisper about the Luna's imprisonment

Some minutes later, Xoey came to the training grounds but unfortunately wasn't allowed entry. Undeterred, she kept yelling her mistress' name desperately, successfully getting the latter's attention. Bellatrix placed her half-finished bottle of water on the bench and ran towards the entrance, ignoring the two stern-looking guards stationed on each side of the black double bar gates."Breeder Bellatrix, you're not allowed to leave, nor is your maid allowed entry. No rules will be broken just because the Alpha let you train here," one of them, the jacked one on her right, a little taller than she was with a beard and moustache warned. The one on her left, although silent seemed to be of one mind with his fellow."I know that," Bellatrix said with a small smile. She and her maid were separated by the gate. "I brought you some cookies, My Lady," Xoey said excitedly."The breeder's already eaten," the tallest of the two guards spoke for the first time, drawing the ladies' attention."Th

Katelyn froze, his words sinking in with horrifying clarity. The implications were clear: he was considering removing her as Luna. The title she'd fought so hard to hold, the power and respect she had gained, all of it was hanging by a fragile thread.She tried to muster any remaining strength, but her exhaustion was overwhelming. Her voice broke as she whispered, "Please... don't take this away from me."Killian's face remained cold, unreadable. "You almost took something precious from me, Katelyn. You almost killed my mate and my chance of having a child, the one person I swore to protect above all else. Tell me, why should I show you any mercy?"Katelyn's eyes widened as she felt a crushing despair close in. She wanted to scream, to beg, but the weight of his anger was suffocating. Finally, she managed to croak, "What... what are you going to do to me?"Killian looked at her with a steely gaze, unyielding. "That will be decided in due time. Or perhaps I should let you go back insid

"Bellatrix! Breeder Bellatrix!" the scruffy-haired female yelled as she dashed frenziedly towards the shelter. One of the guards chasing overtook her, but she tried to sidestep him. However, when he grabbed her arm, she became enraged and shoved him to the floor, leaving a few slashes of her claws on his shoulders before resuming her sprint.The second guard saw his fellow overpowered by their target, but he didn’t stop to check on the latter since it was just surface injuries. He chased after her and ultimately tugged her hair from behind just as she was trying to evade him.This prompted her to halt in her tracks due to the discomfort from his actions.“I’ve got you now,” he told her, and she started struggling to go forward, but he still wasn’t intent on letting go of her hair.“Let me go!” she shrieked.The guard shook his head, “Not happening. I can’t let you hurt the Breeder,”“You…” frustrated, Katelyn used her claws to cut her hair, quickly freeing herself from the shocked gu

The next day...General maids' quarters.This fairly large single-story building had several rooms separated by a long and spacious hallway.Residing here were those who weren't assigned to a particular household. They were headed by the chief maid, Onyx Ingwald, who would assign them daily tasks. However, she had no control over those bound to certain households in the pack, nor could she punish them if they committed a wrong. The most she would do was make a complaint about them to their master whenever there was an opportunity.The few ones with unchanged roles, though, served in the pack's kitchen.In the backyard of this structure was an ideal spot for laundry. Katelyn, now all cleaned up, was perched on a wooden stool and washing clothes by hand.Her silver tresses were swept up in a messy bun, and her plain and loose-fitting black gown had been dampened by her perspiration.She dunked the garment she had just laundered into the water in the adjacent basin and then used the hem
