A long silence.I didn't know why she never said anything to me after she heard what I had told her. I didn't want to get her pity or sympathy for what happened to me that day.As I closed my eyes, the image of my mother screaming in pain while her body turned into pieces made me horrified. It was the most traumatic part of my life I was hoping I would forget.“She's the only woman I have. She's the only one who treated me with morals. I've tried to investigate what happened that day---”“Aren't you scared to find out the truth? What do you think will happen after you discover the culprit? Are you sure you can give justice for your mother's death?” She didn't let me finish what I was going to say to her. My lips parted in disbelief when she stood up and then moved away from me. “Don't you even think the culprit might be powerful that's why your mother's death was never investigated?”“I'm guessing he's powerful. The investigation stopped---”“Then, better stop investigating everything
King Edward's words made the man named Harvey glance at me. His eyes were sharp and cold, which made my body shiver with discomfort. I felt I was the prey he was going to haunt.I bit my lip after King Edward tightly held my waist. He was waiting for Harvey to respond to what he told him. I gulped when Harvey examined me before he looked away.“Your Majesty, I don't want to offend your taste when it comes to your women. Sarah is more stunning than her.” His voice was deep but brutal. He licked his lips when he stared back at me and continued, “She's a downgrade to Sarah. I can't understand why she's the one I needed to train.”King Edward barked a laugh because of his response. My cheeks flushed because Harvey was insulting me as long as he could. Shit.Slowly, Harvey formed a playful smirk on his lips and said, “This woman isn't beautiful. I heard she's an outcast to her family. She's Alpha James's little ex-mate, and I already saw his wife.”Wife? It seemed Alpha James married Ashra
I started panting when he walked slower toward me. My hands clenched in frustration and madness towards Harvey. I wanted to prove to him that I wasn't weak like what they were always remarking on me. I disliked being known as a weak and pathetic wolf. I wanted to make them see that I could change strongly. I would be the known Alpha Female, like what the other she-wolves stated whenever they were seeing a cool Alpha Female.It wasn't only a man who could rule the pack, but a woman, too. I would make them regret belittling my ability and ruining my confidence as an Alpha Female. I grew up in fear that someone might hurt me, and that was the outcome of the nasty action they had taken against me.I couldn't handle my emotions, and thinking he would win against me made my wolf howl with anger. My wolf wanted him to regret it. She wanted me to wipe his egotistical smirk from his lips. I wanted, too.“The King's mistresses know how to defend themselves. I don't think you deserve to be trea
As he tightened his grip on my neck, a moaned escape from my lips. I held his hand and tried to remove it from my neck. My eyes dilated when my body bumped against the wall. I groaned in pain when I felt how my head slammed against the wall. It was painful that I didn't know what I would cry for. King Edward's eyes gleamed in red. His breathing became heavier. It seemed his beast wanted to control him so he could hurt me more. My eyes watered in tears, and I didn't know why my wolf wasn't trying to help me fight with him. As he slowly loosened his grip on my neck, he moved his head closer to mine and then aggressively devoured my lips. My tears continued flowing down when he parted his lips, then tasted my mouth. I tasted his saliva, and his scent made me finally calm down. King Edward held my waist, then he carried me once again before he helped me encircle my legs around his waist. I moaned when he entered his tongue, which made my wolf howl in surprise. My wolf continued encourag
I didn't have the right to judge someone because I wasn't perfect in any way. However, thinking King Edward might get me pregnant and then take away my child made me think it wasn't right. He was a murderer and I didn't know what I was supposed to think or decide.“You want to get your revenge on your stupid mate, right? Alpha James cheated on you with your sister. Ashianna, if you always use your heart, and your moral standards you will end up losing everything. They're greedy to be the most powerful creatures in the world, so you must do it, too.” Marcus added. His expression was more severe which made me look away from me.I didn't want his words to affect my mind. He was saying what he thought was the best thing. “If you're always in the middle then you will be crashed intentionally. It's you who will get hurt. Stop being a stupid woman they used to know.” Marcus' words were like sharp knives stabbed in my chest. He was right, I couldn't stop myself from agreeing with him.I heard
Sarah chuckled with pain but she tried to hide her true emotions from King Edward. She nodded her head pathetically before she sighed and then looked away whenever King Edward was looking at her.I felt bad for her. She had hidden feelings for the Lycan King but it seemed the Lycan King disliked her. He was only treating her like a sex toy. I didn't want to experience it that way and that was the reason why I would do my best to avoid falling in love with the Lycan King.We were only slaves in his eyes. His cum receiver. I would rather kill myself than fall in love with someone who would take advantage of my body. I realized, I only needed to do my part as long as he would do anything that I wanted. All my life, I became selfless, and now I needed to be selfish just to win this fucking game.“I visit here because of the games you all need to fight with. Last year, it was Sarah who won the game.” King Edward finally got my attention. I was curious about how to win the game because I wa
Sarah was flabbergasted. She seemed to have already forgotten how to talk back to me, especially when she heard how the other concubines laughed because of what I had said. Her cheeks flushed in humiliation, and she angrily turned around to give a warning to her friends. "Sarah, if you aren't that kind of insect, then..." I paused. Her lips pursed when I was about to continue. "Will you please stop pestering me? I don't want to think you're interested in me!" "What makes you think I'm interested in you?" She gnashed her teeth before her eyes glowed in red. I chuckled after I tilted my head. Sarah disliked the idea that there was someone who wanted to humiliate her. “You always bullied me. They said if a man always bullied a woman, he may have secret feelings for that girl. It's because it's his way to make the girl pay attention to him.” I smirked, trying to make her feel humiliated even more. Sarah's eyes expanded. “Sarah, are you interested in me or you're more interested in the
Anxiety wrapped around my heart when I smelled the disgusting smell of the cloth they used to cover my nose. A groan escaped from my lips when my strength slowly weakened. My hand tried to throw some punches, but it was useless because I didn't have enough strength to fight with them.“You will eventually learn deeper not to fight with Sarah," I heard the woman say before she signaled the one who was holding me to drag me. My body quivered, trying to restrain from their holds.My heart thumped at a quick pace. My chest moved violently, indicating I was facing difficulty breathing. It was painful. I felt they trapped me in a room where there wasn't any air.My vision slowly became fuzzy and I didn't know where they were dragging me. The smell of a familiar scent was what I smelled before I fainted.“Sarah wants her to learn.” I heard a woman speak when I was getting conscious of my surroundings. I tried to speak to my wolf but she still didn't answer me. My heart clenched in pain to th
