IN THE DUNGEON"Stop fucking laughing!" Kendrick growled, trying to control his anger. He wanted nothing more than to kill Jackson but death was too easy of a punishment. He was enraged knowing his mate had a baby, A child that was not his, and that wasn’t something any wolf or Lycan takes lightly. The mate bond meant everything to them, and although he couldn’t change the past, he had the opportunity to get his revenge on the person who’s responsible for everything that has gone wrong."I think I am going to continue laughing because that seems to irritate you." Jackson wanted to get on Kendrick’s nerves, and by the looks of it he was succeeding."Then I am going to continue to beat you until you stop laughing." He prepared to continue Jackson’s punishment. All he wanted was for Jackson to shut up and take his punishment as he got whipped. If anything he wanted him to beg for death as he continued to torment him for everything he’s done."What happened? Why is the mighty Lycan so up
"Wh…where are you taking us?" Faith quietly asked as she held her sleeping daughter close to her. As if wanting to protect her from all harm."To my kingdom. To my pack." Kendrick coldly replied. His heart still wasn’t able to come to terms with her betrayal. Maybe it never will, the more he thought about it the colder he felt."To the kingdom of Lycans.. a place full of monsters…" Faith’s fearful response made him enraged. He still couldn’t believe that she would think of his or his pack as monsters, especially when she was living with one."Yes, a place full of monsters. Don't try to play your games there. The monsters will tear you into pieces." He snapped, making Faith shrink back in fear. He had not done anything to make her fear him yet she behaved as if he was going to eat her alive. But he felt it was good that she feared him, especially after what she had done."Wh…what did you do to Jackson? Are you going to kill him?" Her voice shook as she questioned him. How could she sti
IN THE LYCAN KINGDOMFaith was looking around fearfully and carefully as she followed Kendrick inside the big palace she has never seen in her entire life. She has never seen such a palace. She has hardly seen anything in her entire life anyway. It was very late in the night. She guessed it was almost 3 AM at night. They were very quiet in their way here and she heard Kendrick ordering his people to not to make any noise so that no one notices his arrival. He didn't want to disturb the sleep of his people.So kind he was for his own people! She thought bitterly.The palace was quiet and they weren't making any sounds as well. All the other people with them vanished at the back of the mansion. It was just him, herself and Echo. Echo was asleep soundly. The journey was very long but they didn't exchange another word after he called her a betrayer. They both hardly got inside the living room when the dark room palace was lit up and someone shouted in sheer happiness from a little dista
"This is going to be your room." Kendrick said while getting inside a small room near the kitchen downstairs. She was inside the room as well. She wasn't going to complain. It's a thousand times better than sleeping on the kitchen floor. It even has a bed. Her daughter is going to sleep peacefully and more comfortably now. She put Echo on the bed and stood up."So, you are going to punish me now by making me your maid? For something I don't even know." She asked while looking up at him. Her eyes were blank, void of any emotions. Her words seemed to push the wrong nerve of his as he bent down to her level and squeezed her cheeks in his hard hold. Her words sounded like a taunt to him. As if being a maid was not a big punishment to her. She didn't let out a single sound even then. "You don't know? Look at that pup sleeping on my property and ask yourself if you have done something or not." He fumed before pushing her face away and retreating his hand faster than light. As if her skin
A FEW HOURS LATERFaith somehow managed to slip into that awfully revealing dress and started working on the third floor as she was instructed. She fed Echo well after requesting the head maid and then locked the little girl in that room. Echo was used to it now. She was a good girl. She wasn't going to create trouble. She didn't see Kendrick or his parents yet and she was thankful to her stars more than ever. She focused on the work in hand. Someone from a glass frame of a big wall painting. She was instructed to clean all the glasses before everyone woke up from sleep and start walking from that path. She was trying to be as careful as possible but her weak and shaky hands were sleeping every now and then, cutting her delicate yet already injured hands more and more. She was hissing silently but continued working on cleaning them. Her blood was rolling down her hands on the floor but she thought of cleaning that later. She was doing her work with complete attention when suddenly
ONE HOUR LATER"Wh…where am I?" Faith groaned as she sat up on the utterly soft mattress. She has never been on such a soft mattress ever in her entire life. She opened her eyes and was running her hands absentmindedly on the bed when a sudden voice startled her. "You are in my room." Kendrick spoke up in his usual cold tone. She looked up to see him sitting on the sofa just opposite to the bed and looking directly into her eyes. He looked as if he was waiting for something. As soon as her position and his words registered into her head, she jumped out from the bed and stood far away with a look of confusion on his face."I…what happened to me? What am I doing here?" She asked while clutching her head to run her memory bank but Kendrick's taunted tone didn't give her the chance."Don't tell me you forgot this as well." Kendrick spoke up in a pissed off tone as he got up from the sofa and walked toward her. She still looked at him in confusion as he kept on advancing her."Huh?" She br
"Address me as 'Your Highness'," Selena commanded, her voice echoing through the grand living room, the opulent chandeliers casting a warm golden glow on the scene. She took deliberate steps, her elegant gown flowing behind her, as she closed the distance between herself and Faith, her heels clicking against the marble floor.Faith, who showed unwavering confidence stood tall, her posture radiating strength despite the palpable tension in the air. At five feet eight inches, she matched Selena's height, her poise unyielding even as Selena attempted to assert her dominance. Selena's heels, adding five inches to her stature, served as a silent reminder of her refusal to be intimidated. Faith met Selena's gaze with a calm resolve, her eyes reflecting a depth of understanding beyond her years.Acknowledging Selena's demand, Faith nodded slowly, her serene countenance undisturbed by the confrontation unfolding. She chose not to engage in a battle of egos, instead focusing on maintaining her
THAT NIGHT"Mommy! You are back!" Echo shrieked out in happiness as she emerged from her hiding spot under the bed, catching sight of Faith entering the room through the creaking door. The room, dimly lit by a single flickering lamp, seemed to come alive with Echo's exuberance.Faith, her weary eyes mirroring the exhaustion etched on her face, had just finished a grueling day of menial tasks. The weight of her responsibilities had pressed down on her throughout the day, yet she persevered. She had tirelessly washed countless dishes, meticulously swept every corner of the floor, and meticulously dusted off every piece of furniture. Fatigue threatened to overcome her, but she soldiered on, her determination unyielding.In her threadbare dress, Faith had managed to navigate the labyrinthine corridors of the mansion, her steps guided by a wary caution. While the shadows loomed menacingly, she was fortunate to have escaped the clutches of any lurking predators. The silence of the empty hall
