DARIUS’S POVA Dream “You can't leave me, Eve.” Darius muttered, his eyes widening in terror as she continued to bleed.His hands wrapped around her waist were now drenched in blood, and he looked around to see if he could obtain help but everywhere had erupted into chaos. He couldn't blame the people running helter-skelter for their lives because if he were in their shoes, he would do the same. The event had been disrupted after the assassins fired the arrows directly at Eve and his parents.Dragging his gaze away from Eve, who was battling to keep her eyes open, Darius looked at his parent. From what he could see, they were already dead. They laid stiff, with their mouths open, and Darius’s heart crushed again at the sight. “You can't leave me now, Eve. Wait a minute, I'll take you to the doctor, and you'll be well.” Darius said again, attempting to sound assuring, although he knew time was ticking away and she was slipping away from him with each passing minute.“Darius, Dari
BRIELLE’S POVBrielle smiled broadly, as she often did when she left Lord Darius's room every morning.The recollections of the night before assailed her senses, and she clenched her thighs.She couldn't stop thinking about her prolific sexual experiences as she passed maids and guards, greeting them goofily, and she wondered whether any of the servants could read her mind. She was perplexed since some of them were giving her odd stares.Brielle's smile evaporated halfway down the corridor as she approached the stairs when she noticed a recognizable figure standing not far away from her, surrounded by some other ladies, most of whom were submissives.Madeline. A shudder ran down her spine, and her stomach churned, but Brielle didn’t falter or pause. Instead, she continued walking. As she approached, she could see that they were discussing something, and they were so absorbed in their conversation that they didn't notice her at first. Still squaring her shoulders high, Brielle proceed
DARIUS POV "We have some information, Boss." Rocky announced as he entered the office and dropped some files on his table."What exactly do you mean? What information?" Darius asked, puzzled.His brows knitted as he tried to recall if he had requested Rocky and his men to carry any inquiry. The last attack had been a success, as they had effectively annihilated all the men who had laid hands on Brielle. Darius spat out some inaudible words as he recounted how raving wild he’d gone when he was informed of her absence.His nights were plagued with bitter thoughts and nightmares that took him back to the past in the days following the event commemorating Washington City's inauguration. On the same day, his parents and Eve had been killed. Worse, some of the visions featured Brielle, and he always saw her in a pool of her blood, shrieking violently, and he was always attempting all that he could do to bring her back to life. He'd experienced innumerable nightmares since the first one
MADELINE’S POV "Yes, come in." Madeline said absentmindedly as she knotted her hair into braids before her bedside mirror.The door creaked open, and as she swiveled around to face the intruder, her mouth dropped open in surprise. It was the guard she usually slept with."What the hell are you doing here?" Madeline roared, watching him gently close the door behind him before turning to face her, a mischievous grin on his face.He was expecting her to return his smile, but she didn’t. Instead, Madeline's lips curled up in disgust as she stared at him.He irritated her so much that if it hadn't been for the fact that she was using him, and he was also proving to be quite helpful, she would have dumped his silly ass since or made up a nasty lie that would have gotten him fired from the mansion."What are you doing here?" She asked again, staring him down, but he said nothing and extended a small sack bag to her."What's in there?" Madeline asked, grabbing the bag and opening it quickly.
BRIELLE’S POVBanished! Banished! Banished! Brielle looked down at her tattered clothes, and those were the only unruly words she heard. As she was led out of the pack house, she was dragged, propelled, scorned, and had objects thrown at her. Brielle wandered past a few buildings and little cabins, watching as random elderly females and male pack members trooped hastily out of their tent, hoping to catch a glimpse of her in her helpless state. She knew they were aware of what was going on, but the surprised expressions on some people's faces indicated that they were also curious about what was going on.Tears streaming down her face, swiping roughly at her face, Brielle recalled the events of the past few hours.Everything was like a scene from a movie, and she was still convinced that it was all a dream and that she would wake up sooner or later, but this was reality, and it was staring her down. Barely a few hours ago her tyrant of a father, Cassius Warren, had kicked the bucke
BRIELLE’S POV"Move, you bitch..." The hefty man, whose grip had been on her earlier, yelled in her ears and whimpering in pain at his tight grip on her arms; Brielle sniffled her tears again as they began to walk nearer to the border.Close to where the vehicles were and were Mr. Shawn was standing with his men.Her heart twinged slightly in relief as she spotted him, and she wasn't sure if she should be happy that he was there or not. She had her eyes on him at first, but Mr. Shawn didn't seem to notice her as he conversed with one of the bulky men he had with him.She should be happy, of course, Brielle thought, using her freed right hand to arrange her falling hair as she looked back at him, embarrassed and ashamed too. Mr. Shawn would undoubtedly help her.Yes, he would because he was one of her father's closest friends, and she could recall the times he'd come to the mansion to talk with her father. She could vividly recall when he was leaving and would abruptly stop to greet
DARIUS POVThere, in the heart of faraway Washington, among the presence of witches, wizards, sorcerers, and werewolves, stood the vastly grandiose and imposing mansion that belonged to none other than... Alpha Darius! The enigmatic Lycan King. The entire mansion was indescribable, screaming so much magnificence and affluence like none other. Everything smells like mint and money... One could see their reflection anywhere they stepped.Every piece of furniture and material was visibly adorned with diamonds. Not just any diamonds, but pure diamonds, making the entire scenery and every corner of the castle glitter and shimmer in its splendor. Every morning at sunrise, the radiant rays shone their flashes into the mansion, highlighting the jeweled interior and bestowing it with the mesmerizing beauty it deserved. When nightfall arrived, the luxurious lights were turned on, adding to the mansion's glamour and elegance. Alpha Darius' mansion was undeniably magnificent and gigantic
BRIELLE’S POV"Get up!" Brielle heard a broad voice grumble as the red-blonde girls all hurried to stand up, knowing they had to obey or face punishment. She had no idea how many days had passed in this hell hole, and after being sold by or to Mr. Shawn, she and some other young girls like her had all been confined inside a minor space more akin to a room, which barely had anything to adorn its interior, except the illuminating light on. There was no bed or mattresses whatsoever, and they had to eat and sleep on the bare cold floor."Stand up, will you?!" The voice growled again as he approached her, jerking and shoving her arm roughly until she let out a low moan of pain.Twitching her lips, Brielle fluttered her eyelids so she could see the light of day, and she started rubbing her eyelids, pretending to have been asleep all this time even though she wasn't.She was terrified and perplexed. Her head, which had been hit some days back, still ached so badly, and by the brisk manne
