BRIELLE’S POV Brielle could hear their conversation and see their scorn as she strolled by the maids and guards, but she didn't care.Her hands grasped the tray of food she was holding, and her shaky feet continued to walk straight.She didn't want to waste her time replying to them, and no one would back her up if she got into a fight now, so it was all pointless.Her life in the castle seemed to have fallen apart since the fallout with Darius, and the fact that she hadn't seen him in a week further emphasized that. The women who served her every morning, midday, and night had vanished, leaving her to handle everything in the mansion alone.Not that she was complaining, but a part of her wished she could go back in time and relive the wonderful times she had and how blissful those days had been. She didn't realize how important those days were until she realized how much she missed them.Not just them, but Darius also. She missed more than anything else, and it hurt. Every morning,
BRIELLE’S POV "No, no, no…" Brielle whispered to herself as she shook fiercely on the bed.She was huddled, her blanket wrapped around her, and she wasn't even chilly, yet she was shaking terribly. She hadn't been able to get Madeline's mocking words out of her thoughts since she went to her room, and every time she closed her eyes to sleep, she was instantly reminded that Darius would most likely be sleeping with Madeline and the other submissives.She was in pain when he fucked them, and her stomach hurt so much that she had to grasp her waist as if she were fighting for her life.Darius hadn't yet rejected her, so whenever he slept with another woman, she felt terrible, and it hurt.The discomfort, however, paled in comparison to how she was feeling emotionally. Her entire world had collapsed, and she couldn't keep it together.Brielle let out a quiet moan as another sharp agony raced through her abdomen, and she began to sob again.Her face was bloated from crying, her eyes were
BRIELLE’S POV "Come in." Brielle was terrified as she turned the knob and pulled the door open upon hearing Darius's voice.She was trembling all over, and her facial expression revealed her terror despite her best efforts to contain herself.As she entered the room, her gaze wandered throughout the enormous expanse, and when she spotted him, a shiver ran down her thighs.Even though their connection was dissolved, Brielle couldn't deny that he still had immense power over her.He had his back to her, and the moment he turned, their eyes locked, his smirk transformed to a sneer, and his eyes darkened with rage.Brielle staggered backward owing to the intensity of his gaze, and she held the wall behind her for support while she held his look."What in the world are you doing here? Who the hell let you in? What happened to not displaying your face in front of me ever again?" Tears welled up in the back of Brielle’s eyes as he thundered.He was staring at her with disgust and hatred. Sh
DARIUS POV Rocky arrived after Darius summoned him, and as he turned to face him, he let out a big exhale."You sent for me, boss," Rocky said, gently bowing and waiting for him to continue with his request.Darius didn't say anything for a long time. Instead, he raked his hands through his hair and breathed in and out as he considered how to express what was on his mind. How could he say this? Where would he even begin?He closed his eyes, and his mind was instantly flooded with memories of Brielle—her pleas and the terrible things he’d said to her during their last meeting. She’d knelt before him, looking distressed as she cried, but he’d acted unperturbed.But truth be told, he was worried. He felt so much hurt, and as he recalled the anguish in her eyes and how miserable she’d looked, it tore him apart. He couldn’t believe he’d treated her like that, not after everything they had been through together. Not after the magnitude of immense love they shared. But then again, he could
BRIELLE’S POV Brielle was nervous as she wore her dress over her head and looked at her little figure in the full-length mirror.She had had this sense since she got up this morning that something horrible was going to happen or was about to happen, and the feeling was growing stronger by the minute.She was perplexed, and every second, her gaze was drawn to the door, expecting someone to barge in and deliver some bad news to her.She hadn't been able to think clearly since the confrontation with Darius last night and his threats to her. She had scarcely slept all night, terrified that someone might break into the room and smother her in her sleep. Brielle didn't dread death because her life had been a waste, but she was concerned that Darius would be the one to draw the blade on her and that his eyes would be the last thing she saw before succumbing to the icy grip of her demise. ‘You stupid Brielle. He stated he wouldn't murder you because he couldn't bring himself to do it. Don'
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
