Athena
The entire ride to his mansion was passed in silence except for the few sniffles that I failed to hold in anymore. For the whole time, all he did was drink up from the pocket alcohol bottle nonetheless he did not look drunk but I could smell the liquor from him even from the distance.
Something about him was very....scary. And as the seconds passed, I felt strange fear crawling up my insides.
I knew nothing about him. Who he was, what he did, I knew nothing. This place was new to me. For a girl like me who never got the chance to step out from her pack, it was terrifying for me to find myself in such a vulnerable position.
The car stopped in front of a huge mansion, it was vastly decorated and an enormous amount of trees surrounded everywhere of it as if a dark shadow had surrounded this beautiful place.
Sebastian grabbed my wrist and roughly hauled me outside of the car. It was hard to keep up with his speed and with bare feet, it was even more difficult because of all the cuts and blisters I had.
The guards opened the main door and he dragged me inside the mansion with him.
Numerous maids and workers gathered around us as they saw Sebastian's arrival. All of their eyes were focused on the floor in an unmoving way, they looked afraid and their trembling breathing remained apparent as proof.
But then my eyes moved to spot the lady walking down the stairs. Her blonde hair reached her shoulders, the red gown hugged her glowy skin like a second layer even though the dress was vastly revealing, and her eyes looked at me in a curious way but soon as they noticed Sebastian's hand holding mine, fury as quick to shade them.
She walked down, casually sipping on the glass of wine in her hand, and stood in front of us.
"I did not know you went to purchase some slave," she spoke.
"Because it's none of your fucking business, Celine." Sebastian spat, anger glared through his blue orbs and Celine instantly cowered away.
"I'm...sorry Alpha. I did not mean it to sound like this," She apologized, her voice suddenly sounding sweeter than honey.
Sebastian completely ignored her and pushed me to the maid's side.
"Here, get her all cleaned up and escort her to the room beside mine." He ordered, "I want her clean and all the smell of other wolves washed away from her body. Got it?"
"Yes, Alpha." The maid politely nodded and gently held me to keep me standing, she probably noticed my weakness and struggle to stay still on my feet.
"What's your name?" Celine asked me, raising one of her eyebrows.
"Athena."
"Is she a new slave?" This time Celine's question was directed to Sebastian, her tone turning sweeter once again.
Sebastian's jaw clenched, and his hands formed into fists, "Yes, she is." I could tell he was certainly not fond of being asked too many questions.
She walked towards him and slipped her hand around his arm, seductively trailing up her nails towards his bicep, "So that means she can serve me as well, I was in the need of a maid anyways. You know, to do my regular pedicure and stuff so..."
Celine couldn't complete her sentence as Sebastian cut her off, throwing away the pocket-alcohol bottle against the nearest mirror on the wall.
"Enough!" His loud voice echoed the place and I closed my eyes in fear, my breathing trembled and my hands shook vigorously, "I have not spent two million dollars on her just for some of your fucking pedicure and stupid stuff that you can do by yourself. Stay in your lane, because you know what the consequences are gonna be if you don't."
Shock covered Celine's expression and took a few steps backward in fear.
"I have bought her, for my use. She is mine," He gave her a death glare, " Now, Go to your fucking room. Right now!" He ordered.
She did not wait even a second before she hurried up the stairs, disappearing from our sight within seconds but not before flashing me a strange look that held a deeper inexplicable hatred underneath.
Sebastian released a heavy breath, the rage was still evident on his face, and the blue veins beside his neck stood up just like another proof. His silence was unnerving.
And apparently, the maid seemed to understand that standing there and witnessing his fury was not the best option.
"Let's go," She whispered to me and helped me walk out of the hall with her and head up the stairs.
But the pair of eyes that belonged to none other than my mate, burning holes behind my head did not get unseen in any way.
*****
I remained seated in the hot tub, motionless and lost in the mess of my thoughts as the maid scrubbed and washed my body.
After being in that hell for so many days, this new atmosphere was somehow a bit peaceful but I knew this peace was not going to be long-lasting. The remembrance of Sebastian's eyes full of hatred for me, made tears gather in my eyes once again.
"How is Celine related to the Alpha?" I found myself asking the question, it was the only thing I'd uttered till now.
"Oh...she's his mistress." She answered.
He has a Mistress......
A strong pain attacked my chest, forming a knot in the middle and making it hard for me to breathe.
The thought of him being with another woman pained me. I did not even have the right to complain because just in these few hours of meeting my mate, he'd already proved that he was not even interested to see my face.
What I had done wrong to deserve such cruelty of this world? My life could have been so much better if I was born like this....without a wolf. Maybe, even Sebastian would have loved me instead of hating me but.....
What was my fault that instead of being strong and desirable, the goddess has made me a burden for everyone?
"Your name's Athena, right?" The maid's question broke my haze.
I quickly wiped my tears and nodded. However, her gaze of sympathy and care told it all— She'd already noticed me crying.
"Look...I know it's hard for you to accept the reality but I'm saying this for your own good, the sooner you learn to accept, the less it'd hurt," She softly spoke, "Please be careful of him, he's lethal. Your one mistake can end up getting you killed. He does not know the word mercy, so don't do anything that'll turn into a risk for your life."
It was hard to believe that my own mate was so cruel and barbaric nonetheless it was true; I had seen it myself, in his eyes, there was not even a trace of any emotion.
"H-how many people have he killed till now?" My words trembled.
"Countless." The maid let out a sigh, "But the first person he killed was his father, At the age of eleven."
My heart indeed stopped after hearing what she just said.
He killed his own father?
"Do you...do you know why he killed his father?"
"No, I don't. Apparently, none knows about it. Most of the people don't know much about Alpha Sebastian and his background, and even if anyone knows they stay far away from disclosing it because of fear." She said, " It's just like one of those secrets that have been buried in the dark, just like his curse that none knows about."
"He's cursed?" I was a bit shocked by her statement.
"Yeah, he is cursed." She said.
"And there's no one who knows what it is?"
"Kinda, Most people assume it's his barbaric and cruel deeds that have made the goddess bestow the curse upon him and it could actually be the case, but if anyone who has the possibilities to know about it is...Julia."
"Who's Julia?"
Before she could answer my question, a maid suddenly walked inside the bathroom in a hurry.
"Sarah, get her ready as fast as possible. Alpha's gonna come here anytime soon." She said glancing at me.
Sarah's eyes looked moved to look at me in sympathy and this was when I knew Sebastian's arrival was going to be just another hell for me.
AthenaI anxiously fisted the sides of the white dress I was wearing, sitting on the bed and wishing the front door would not be opened by him. I did not want to face him; I was afraid, more than I had ever been.So many questions were arising in my mind but the one that remained awake the most was...I was his mate, would he destroy me just like another of his targets?And suddenly the door opened with a loud slam.I flinched at the sound and my hand flew to cover my mouth to stop the gasp that left my mouth; Sebastian walked inside the room, and he still has the same attire on.My heartbeats picked a pace, and as his scent permeated the atmosphere of the room I found it hard to breathe.His eyes moved to look at me, his jaw tightened for some reason and his hands fisted to his sides.Did he hate the sight of me so much?"Come here." He ordered, his voice was stone-cold, and his stare unnerving.I swallowed the lump in my throat and forced my legs to get down the bed. My body was res
AthenaTrigger warning: Rape, violence, mature scenes ahead.He forced his way inside of me with one swift thrust.I screamed out loud, unable to ignore the pain that slashed through; Every cell of my body froze and it felt like he'd ripped me into two with his length. I'd never been with a man, but for a virgin, his size and the force he used to penetrate me were too much.More tears slid down my face, making a mess. I felt torn down there.A satisfactory growl left his mouth and he pulled himself out before he hammered his way inside once again but with double pressure.My body jerked in pain and I screamed once again, "Ah!"And then he began moving in and out. Giving me no time to adjust to his size or the pain.His animalistic pace made the bed shake and squeal underneath us. My body was vigorously trembling, I couldn't even move my hands because Sebastian had tied them so hard.He used his free hand to grope my breast and pinch my nipple. The stinging pain erupting on the skin h
AthenaWhen I woke up, unexpectedly I found myself on the bed. A duvet covered my naked body, and the curtains of the windows were closed.I slowly got up, my aching muscles were making it difficult for me nonetheless I got up. Keeping the duvet around me to prevent myself from shivering, my skin was cold as ice and I felt really weak.Suddenly the door opened. A gasp slipped past my lips and I closed my eyes in fear, assuming the worst-case scenario that could be nothing other than the arrival of Sebastian.But to my fortune, it was not Sebastian who walked in.As I opened my eyes, I saw a maid walking inside the room. It was not Sarah, it was the other maid from yesterday."Alpha wants you to be at the breakfast table," She told me, "Please get ready quickly."I nodded, sucking in a breath to brace the pain that shot through my body starting from my lower abdomen as I tried to get down the bed.Suddenly my eyes fell on the bandages that were wrapped around my wounds. None of my woun
AthenaHe violently grabbed my throat and set me on the table, the grip so tight that within seconds it became hard for me to breathe.He kicked away the nearest chair to make space for him, and he stood between my legs.I tried to get his hand off my throat but he was back to being the same cruel monster he had been. He did not care the slightest bit about the pain he was causing me."These bandages are not enough, Athena," He said lowly, "You are yet to have more of my marks. I'll leave not an inch of your skin untouched, you'll be covered in my scars that'll always remind you of how much I hate you." His hurtful words once again made my tears threaten to fall from my eyes.No, Athena! He does not deserve your tears.Don't cry for such a monster like him."I wish you had any idea how much I hate you..." He chuckled.'But what is the reason?! What did I do wrong?!'— I wanted to ask him but nothing left my mouth.I only looked at him, asking all my questions in silence through my tea
SebastianI grabbed a fistful of her blonde hair she bobbed her head up and down, taking me in her mouth and as always trying her best to please me, being as submissive as she had been since from the start.This woman never failed to please me, or I was never dissatisfied with Celine or her obedience when it came to sexual terms. But today....something was off.It was not because of her. It was because of that damn burden I purchased from the auction. I fucking hated her. I loathed everything about her.I didn't need this mate bond, I did not need that woman in my life to stay powerful. She was only here for my pleasure and the damn beast within me that won't remain calm without her presence around me.Nowadays the only person who'd be in my mind was Athena. She was imprinted on my soul and gave me reasons to fear the outcomes. I fucking hated her.I did not want the mate bond. I did not want her. She was just another object for me. There was no way that I was going to feel anything
AthenaWarning: 18+, strong mature content ahead.For the past few days, the only time I got to see Sebastian was when he'd come to my room and use me like every other day. He indeed made me feel like an object; He treated me like one.But somewhat there was no chance of getting used to his tortures. Each day he was giving me another reason to crave an escape.Maybe there was a time when I'd desperately prayed to meet my mate, but Sebastian Valdez has left me with no other want other than getting out of his cage. He was lethal and his venomous nature was even more lethal.I wanted to run away far away from him and never come back.These few days were enough for me to accept the bitter reality that he did not deserve to be called a mate; He was a bloody sadistic being.I didn't even want to see his face. He disgusted me. Every time he came in front of me, the memories of everything he did to me would flash in front of my eyes like a projector.I wished I could escape from this hell...
AthenaMy wounds did not heal. Not even the slightest bit though it has already been a day.Usually, they would heal on their own during the day but this time they were drawn deep. They were like the invisible wounds Sebastian has given me all these days.He was destroying me bit by bit. He was ruining me every day and night. And after what he did last night, the need to escape from him was sowed deep within me.Last night, the realization had finally hit me— I had to escape his cage, not only for myself but for my soul. He'd already tainted me, snatched my innocence, leave me all shattered and scattered. And the way his tortures were increasing, I couldn't even imagine how he'd go.He certainly had no bounds. He was a sadist.And after the shower, I looked at myself in the mirror, and unknowingly I found my eyes filling with tears.The reality hurt more than the nightmare itself. The reality pained me and somehow it pained another part of me too—My wolf, who was like a shadow who mi
AthenaIt was late at night and Sebastian had not come to my room yet. As I looked at the clock, I came to realize, it was already hours past the time he'd usually come to my room.There were far fewer chances of him coming to my room, today. Maybe he was simply enjoying his night with his beloved mistress instead of deciding me torture me like every other day.I needed to go out of the room to reach Winona and get out of this place, but what if Sebastian comes all of a sudden?If he catches me trying to escape...I did even know what he'd do.Surely he wouldn't kill me, but whatever he'd do, I knew it was going to be worse than death.But sitting like this was not going to help me either.I might lose a huge opportunity because of my fear.What should I do?Sit here and wait for him or just put faith in fate and go for it?This was my last chance to escape. I couldn't miss it.Every minute with my so-called mate felt suffocating, I was dying little by little.....No! I couldn't miss t
