~Lucienne~"You should have died with them!" The loudest voice of the angry mob surrounding me, who was kneeling on the ground, panting heavily and crying filled my ears."Get rid of this wretched girl! We don't want such bad luck in our pack! Kill her!" The frenzied crowd unleashed their fury upon me, attacking me with words, rotten fruits, dirty slippers, and everything they could lay their hands on.Due to the impact of everything on my already tired body, my eyes were shut throughout this ordeal as I remembered how I begged the boss not to let me do this, not to let me be involved in this, but she forced me to, and look at where I am now, getting beaten and being punished for something I didn't know anything about. I even tried to open my mouth to say something- a plea for understanding, but a bitter juice from something stale that they stuffed into my mouth, landed on my tongue causing me to blink multiply as I twitched my face in disgust.The second my brain registered it, I imm

~Lucienne~"With me," the stranger replied before I could and Daniel hissed before whipping his head back to see who responded to his question. He eyed the man, sizing him up before replying. "I don't think so.""With all due respect Crown Prince Daniel, you have no say in this. You already gave her to me as compensation, it was witnessed by a lot of people.""I don't remember doing that!" Daniel retorted in a loud tone almost immediately and that caused people to gather so they could watch what was going on.I saw the corner of the stranger's lips form a smile and a man walked forward with a tablet in his arms. Showing it to me and Daniel, it seemed to be the footage of me running away, red in embarrassment then Daniel and my brothers happily giving me to him without any conditions attached."So you see, you have no reason to stop me from taking her. Now if you would please step aside," The stranger said and for the first time in history, I saw someone shut Daniel up.Daniel didn't w

~Lucienne~“What?!” My response came with multiple blinks. “No!” I immediately yelled out my refusal to strip or do anything related to that. “I'll eat,” I begged softly, trying to swallow the bile in my mouth. “Then do it!” He snapped at me. I reluctantly reached for the tray, my hands trembling as I picked up a piece of bread. Every bite felt like swallowing stones, my throat constricting with each swallow. But I forced myself to eat, knowing that defying Daniel would only lead to more suffering.As I ate, Daniel watched me intently, his eyes never leaving my face. There was a glint of satisfaction in his gaze as if my compliance reaffirmed his control over me. It made my skin crawl, but I pushed aside my disgust and focused on finishing the meal, although I decided to take my precious time doing it. Finally, I set the empty tray aside, feeling a mix of relief and nausea churning in my stomach. Daniel nodded approvingly, a smirk playing at the corners of his lips."Good girl," he s

~Lucienne~Screams, bubbles, fear of losing another family member and many more surrounded me as I struggled for air deep down inside the waters. I kicked my legs, tried to hold my breath, and did everything I could think of but the invisible boulder only pushed me further down into the water, depriving my lungs of air and me, the chance to see if my brother made it out of that rogue ambush, alive. “It's all my fault,” I thought to myself as I slowly lost the strength to fight, causing me to surrender. “If I had just quietly gone back, Ezekiel wouldn't have taken me to the border. If I had gone back in, he wouldn't have cut me and the rogues wouldn't have traced my blood. It's all my fault. And now because of me, another wolf or more would die…”A sharp pain from somewhere on my neck forced me to jolt awake, my eyes and mouth opened widely as I gasped for breath and poured a ton of water from my insides while I placed my hand on the tingling area. It was all blurry at first, but my v

~Lucienne~“And so?” Came Daniel's reply that sent my jaw falling to the ground. Did he just say 'and so?' After killing a living being?“You really need to cut your pride, Prince. Meet me or I'll send the video to your father. Or maybe to the whole pack,” the automated voice replied and Daniel let out a grunt.“Location?”“I'll send it to you when you begin the journey. See you soon, Prince,” the voice said and hung up. I expected Daniel to curse, yell, or get furious but instead he laughed, a laugh I hadn't seen in a long time and I guess I now knew what it meant.“Like I said Lucienne, the plan of you and the universe will crumble. I will have you, no matter what. But for now, I have to go teach a mouse a lesson,” he chuckled and grabbed his shirt before snapping the key from my trembling hands.“Watch the videos to the end Hun, I'd need a blow job once I'm back,” he whispered to my frozen self before heading out and immediately the door locked, I fell to the ground, tears pouring d
