Rejected Slave, Fated Queen 20. Solitary confinement
Nomia pov The next morning I’m woken by a tray being set on the ground, not a word is spoken. I don’t even see who put it there. After breakfast I decide to take a bath and relax. Alpha Zared is gone for the next few days so I can skip the makeup. Aminta and I discuss the catastrophic lunch fight and the whipping of Emerald and Amethyst while we float in the warm water. When I’m finished I wrap my hair in a towel and with my robe hanging open I walk back into my bedroom only to get the fright of my life: Beta Jared is sitting in my bed with a vile grin on his face. “Good morning little Aurum,” he sneers, “You owe me an apology for yesterday. Janus is currently training the warriors, by the way, and these rooms are sound proof.” He leaves the last part about there being no point in my screaming unspoken. I receive his message loud and clear. I feel anger rising, the absolute rat bastard, Aminta is growling in my head, foaming at the mouth. I ignore him, and walk to my closet. Befo
Rejected Slave, Fated Queen 21. Listening in
Janus pov The moment Garnet did that impressive twist and kicked me full in the balls I knew serious trouble would be unavoidable. The least of my worries was if I’d ever be able to have children. I worried for her safety. Zared would presumably kill her for this, or maybe worse, give her to Jared. From my fetal position on the floor I watched in horror as Jared pulls his fist back in what would surely be an a killing blow to Garnets head. I try to get to my feet but I already know I won’t be fast enough. Then, from the corner of my eye I see Aurum take a leap. Her kick strong and precise full in Jared’s balls. Goddess I hope she’s rendered the bastard infertile. It’s this moment that Zared and a handful of guards barge in. Whacking Malachite, Garnet and Aurum unconscious within seconds after entering. “Weaklings!” Zared sneers, “You’ve been beaten up by girls! How are you my Beta and Gamma? How can you call yourselves guards? Bring them to their rooms and tie them down.”
Rejected Slave, Fated Queen 22. That wasn’t the deal
Nomia povThe night maid ending her shift wakes me by throwing a scratchy brown dress over my face. The rough fabric irritates my skin as I drag it off me. The night maid scowls at me before stalking out of the room. It's earlier than usual. I cringe as I put on the dress and, not for the first time since Alpha Zared announced our punishment, I wonder if those working in the kitchen are servants or slaves. Thus far I'd been of the opinion that Golden Claw took better care of their wolves than Red Star. Today I’ll learn if that’s true or not. I feel Aminta restlessly pacing in my head. “Hell yes. I’m restless. I have to stay calm and not rip their throats out.” She growls at me. “We have to accept being humiliated now. I don’t like it one little bit.”“Can you tell me more later? I want to know more about my heritage. My father was a dragon but my mother? What was she? Who were my parents? How did they meet? Was I wanted?”Aminta makes a sound that’s something between a huff, a sigh
Rejected Slave, Fated Queen 23. I’m the Alpha
Zared pov“Who will go first?” I ask the girls, before they can answer Jared volunteers Aurum. I knew he had it out for her because she kicked him in the balls and hard. But what is he up to? Why does he want her to be first so desperately?I fully expected him to go full out on her with the whip. The cat ‘o nine tails does serious damage due to the little metal beads that are knotted into each of the tails.To my fury I see that he has taken the silver laced one, and drenched it in wolfsbane too. “You didn’t explicitly say to not do it,” Gunther points out. “I shouldn’t have had to; the rule is always the normal whip unless I order otherwise.” I growl back at him.Gunther growls so loud that my skull vibrates. “You need more practice, he snarls at me, “Jared wanted revenge and he didn’t have to go out of his way to get it. YOU gave him ample opportunity. He indicated he wanted to whip them to the bone and fuck them until they die.”“Jared STOP!” I yell but he’s already gotten the
Rejected Slave, Fated Queen 24. Locked up
Nomia pov I wake up to the sound of the door closing, the rough dress once more thrown in my face. I feel as if I’m run over by a heavily laden ox cart. “Good morning” Aminta yawns, performing a perfect downward facing dog, “Your back is good and ready to go. I did an all nighter on it, it's scarless” she sounds rightfully proud. “Thank you. Good to know that my back is ready as I am not.”“These things never get easier or less painful” she replies, giving a mother telling her pup that there is no way to escape the chore vibe. I get dressed and make my way to the dining room. Garnet and Ruby are already setting the breakfast table. “You look good compared to yesterday.” Garnet remarks, whilst Ruby pulls me in for a hug. “Shall I get Malachite?” “I’m here” I hear her void voice from behind me. Without a further word she sits at the table and starts eating. We have our breakfast in a loaded silence, each of us pulled into our own thoughts.Alpha Zared enters the room with Janus
Rejected Slave, Fated Queen 25. Betrayed by my body
Nomia povI expected Alpha Zared to be rough. Instead he stares at my private parts as if he’s never seen something like it before. Maybe mine is weird? I’ve never compared it to any others… I kind of figured they all look the same. “There’s more variation than in hair colour” Aminta tells me “Now stop these intrusive thoughts. You have a choice to make - remain mentally present and experience everything or retreat into your mind and get it over with. “Retreat!” I squeak. Aminta raises a wolfy eyebrow at me. “What do you advise?” I ask, feeling chastised. “If you remain present you can learn.” “I’m not sure I want to”“Learn what gets him going - knowledge is power; you never know if that information will become useful at some point.”I swallow hard“Besides. You might even learn a little about what you like? You barely touch yourself. And the times with Janus were just lying together. No touchy feely of any significance. When you remain present then you can choose small ac
Rejected Slave, Fated Queen 26. Dragon dreams
Zared pov I’m in an unfamiliar forest. It’s unnaturally silent, no birds singing, no squirrel nails scratching down the bark of a tree as they scuttle up and down, no woodpecker pecking holes. Nothing. Nothing except a low slow breathing sound. Paired with the unsettling feeling of being watched. “Gunther?” “I hear and feel it too.” Gunther sounds uneasySuddenly the smell of sulphur and burnt wood assaults my nose. I freeze and hold my breath trying to pinpoint where the breathing sound comes from without giving our location away. “If we shift we’ll be quieter and blend in better.” Gunther whispers, as if someone outside our head can hear him. “The tearing of clothes would give us away.”“It would if we were wearing any, dimwit.” Gunther points out. I quickly glance down and see my naked body. Confusion hits me, why are we naked in an unfamiliar forest? What happened? Was there an attack and did I escape while shifted? Do I have amnesia? “To know you have amnesia you would n
Rejected Slave, Fated Queen 27. Heritage
Nomia pov Like yesterday and the day before I wake up by the door closing and the rough maids dress landing on my face. I scowl. This is not a routine I enjoy or want to get used to. “After today we’re almost half done.” Aminta offers but it's not heart felt. I feel her irritation. The whipping is just like yesterday. No crowd, no Jared. Janus wielding the whip is still a bitter pill to swallow. But my heart knows that if he could’ve prevented this he would have. I see the heaviness in his eyes. “If one of those guards or warrior oafs were to wield the whip they might be going all out to prove their loyalty and worthiness” Aminta offers as consolation. Alpha Zared is quite chirpy. I’m not sure that’s a good thing though. There is an unnerving glint in his eye, a bounce in his step and a small smile playing on his lips. I feel a shudder going down my spine watching him. I lie on my bed waiting for Alpha Zared to come and ‘help’ me with the plug and belt. Now I know how
