Chapter 11: Servitude decided

Without further words, Lord Arthur turned toward the door, his stride purposeful. The other council members followed him back to the courtroom, and to the judgement throne, then took their designated seats. The courtroom was silent, heavy with anticipation. Lucille heart pounded in her chest. Her hands were clasped tightly in front of her, trying to steady herself, but the tremble was undeniable. Would the silver suppressing continue? Or would it be a harsher punishment. The courtroom quieted down the moment the council returned. Lord Arthur stood up, "with the power bestowed on me, I will continue this proceeding," His gaze pinned on Lucille. "Lucille Clinton," he began, his voice carrying across the room, "you, an Omega, stand before this council accused of severing your bond with Edward Jones, a man of noble blood. As stated in the law, your actions have earned you punishment. The council has deli

Chapter 12: Justice not betrayal

THAT SAME NIGHT. IN THE JONES ESTATE. The room was quiet, but a thick air of fury blew across every corner. Williams Jones stood in the middle of the room, his face red with anger. His voice was loud and sharp. “You made a fool of this family, Mitch. In front of the whole Council!” Andrea Jones, sitting beside his son, looked tired. His hands were shaking slightly. “He didn’t mean to disrespect anyone, Williams. He just—” “Don’t!” Williams barked. “Don’t defend him! That girl, broke the mate bond with Edward. She went against our laws. The punishment was clear, silver suppressing injection. It needed seven seals. Seven. And your son was the only one who didn’t sign it!” Mitch sat on the sofa, legs spread, arms folded. He looked calm. Too calm. “I didn’t think she deserved that

Chapter 13: Sleep before Servitude

Mitch left the sitting room, to the garden. The wind was cool, brushing through the trees. Just as he expected, Edward was standing alone, his back rigid, , hands in his pockets, eyes fixed on nothing. Mitch walked up behind him, quiet for a moment, then said, “Do you want to talk, or should I leave?” Edward didn’t turn. “If you’re here to defend that omega again, don’t bother.” Mitch sighed. “I’m not here to defend her. I’m here to tell you the truth.” Now Edward turned, his face hard. “The truth? That you betrayed your own blood in front of the Council?” “No,” Mitch said calmly. “That you pushed her away. That Lucille didn’t reject you because she’s ungrateful or rebellious. She rejected you because you treated her like she was nothing.”

Chapter 14: Cold Welcome

The next morning, Lucille woke up early and got dressed. She sat on the bed, her heart heavy and her fingers twitching. Five years, not five days. It felt like such a long time. Edward hated her. She had even challenged him in court, saying painful words to him. He would likely make her serve him brutally. The door opened, and her brother walked in, fully dressed. "Ready?" he asked, and she nodded. She stood up and let out a deep breath. Louis wrapped his arms around her, and she rested her head on his chest. "It will pass. We’ll keep in touch. Remember everything I told you," he whispered. Her tears fell uncontrollably, and she didn’t try to hold them back. "I’m hurting deeply, brother," she sobbed, her voice shaky. Since that night at the party, she had kept everything inside, showing only a calm face, but now, for the first time, she let herself be vulnerable

Chapter 15: No rest

“Do you think you’re here to sleep?” the woman barked, her voice felt like a sharp whip, on Lucille's body. Lucille jolted off the bed, her heart racing in her ears. “I… I’m sorry,” she said quickly, her voice trembling. But the woman wasn’t listening. Her glare almost cut through Lucille's bones. “Didn’t you read the rules?” she thundered. Rules? What rules? She had just stepped in. Barely five minutes, and this nightmare had already begun. She rushed to the desk and grabbed the paper she had noticed earlier. Her hands shook as she unfolded it. Yes, it had the rules. But before she could even read the first line, the paper was ripped from her fingers. “Useless girl!” the woman spat. “You should’ve read it earlier!”

Chapter 16: Stand until I wake

A servant had pointed to the room earlier, saying it belonged to Edward. Now Lucille stood in front of it, unsure how to go in. Her body swayed weakly. Her joints felt like they were cracking under her own weight. Every muscle in her body screamed. Her eyes burned with exhaustion. Her stomach twisted painfully. She could taste the hunger in her mouth. Since the little food she ate that morning before the long journey, nothing else had touched her lips. No one had offered. No one had asked. But once she cleaned this last room, she could finally rest. Maybe even find something to eat. She raised a weak hand and knocked softly on the door, but, there was no answer. She waited, then knocked again, this time a bit louder. A deep voice finally responded. “What is it?” She gripped the handle and slowly turned it.

Chapter 17: Help came

The omega gently pushed the door open and stepped inside, quickly shutting it behind her. She lifted her blouse and pulled out a small food pack, holding it out to Lucille. "Take it," she said, her voice low and cautious. Lucille took the food without hesitation. "The kitchen won’t send you food. It’s an order. This is mine, but I’m sharing it so you can have some," she explained, her eyes darting around nervously. "Don’t tell anyone, or I’ll be severely punished," she added with a warning look. "Thank you," Lucille whispered, trying to hold back her tears. "I’m Ophelia, from the Downland pack, just like you," she quickly introduced herself. Lucille smiled faintly, understanding now why her wolf had reacted so strongly when the knock came. Ophelia was from her pack. "T

Chapter 18: Breaking totally

Lucille hadn’t eaten all day, and no one came to ask her to clean again. Even though her heart was heavy, she somehow managed to sleep well. When she finally woke up, it was already dark outside. She stretched slowly and sat up in bed. That was when she heard a knock at the door. Were they watching her to know the exact moment she woke up? “Come in,” she said with a yawn. The door opened, and Ophelia walked in. Her face was just as cold as Lucille remembered. If it wasn’t for their short, kind moment earlier that day, Lucille might have taken her expression the wrong way. But now she understood. Ophelia wore that coldness like armor, something she needed to survive in this house. “He’s calling for you,” Ophelia said flatly. “He’s in the living room,” she added befor

Chapter 19: Cruelty

Lucille and Ophelia stood silently in their wolf forms, the cool night breeze brushing their fur as they listened to the quiet footsteps approaching. The sound grew louder, and Ophelia’s ears twitched. Before Lucille could react, Ophelia turned and disappeared into the shadows, her paws silent against the ground. Lucille hesitated for a moment, her heart thudding in her chest. She looked down at her torn dress lying beside her. She couldn't shift back yet, not here, not where someone might see her naked. She picked up the dress with her mouth, gently dragging it along the ground as she trotted back to her room. Her legs ached, but she moved quickly, afraid of being seen. Once inside the room, she locked the door with shaky hands before letting the shift take her. Pain rippled through her body as her bones reshaped. When it was over, she lay on the cold floor, breathing hard

Chapter 20: Beauty in misfortune

It had been three long, painful months since Lucille started living in Edward’s house as a servant. Every day felt like a battle. The work was exhausting, and whenever she couldn’t finish on time, the punishments followed without mercy. Sometimes, she didn’t even know how she was still coping. Her body had slowly adjusted to the suffering, but it had also paid the price. She was no longer the girl who walked into this house months ago. Her clothes hung off her body, far too loose for her now, thin frame. Her bones stuck out sharply under her skin, her cheeks were hollow, and her eyes had sunk deep into her face. She looked like a shadow of her old self. Her hands, knees, and elbows were covered in wounds. Some fresh, some trying to heal. The constant pain in her stomach had become a cruel companion. She knew it was from hunger. Most days, the kitchen forgot abou
