Chapter 8- The lewd encounter

I looked at the petite omega who was brushing my hair. She looked so thin that I wondered if the last time that she ate good food was weeks ago. Are omegas treated that badly in this pack? Lucian, no matter how ruthless he was, never treated an omega badly to this extent.

Not again.

How did Lucian’s name come up again? I really need to find a way to get rid of the thoughts that keep intruding into my head. I sighed and looked at the omega through the mirror.

“Why did Alpha Adrik order that I be cleaned and brought to his bedroom?”   

She kept on brushing my hair, pretending to not understand what I was saying. Were they sworn to an oath of secrecy too? This pack is strange for all the right reasons. Adrik must have them at the edge of their seats. Is he that ruthless? Even more than Lucian?

Uh-uh

Here we go again. That’s it. No more. I sat up and looked at myself in the mirror. Within a few days, my eyes have sunk a little into my sockets and my collarbone has become a bit conspicuous. My pregnancy hasn’t started showing yet and I miraculously haven’t had so many disturbing morning sicknesses. 

I smoothened my v-necked floral knee-length dress and exhaled deeply. Whatever that fat pig wanted with me had better not be what I’m thinking. He wouldn’t possibly want to be with an expecting wolf, right? But then the attributes that he had exhibited all these while had proven that there’s nothing beyond evil that he cannot do.

The omega led me to a scantily furnished bedroom. There were nude paintings on the wall and a giant king-sized bed in the center of the room. This has got to be the worst interior design taste that I’ve ever seen. But then, what did I expect from an alpha who barely deserves his title?

My eyes went from the interiors of the room to the figure on the bed. He was sprawled lazily on the bed, looking like a man who had been waiting for his dish to be served. 

Immediately he saw me approach the bed, his lewd gaze flashed over my body, making me want to claw his eyes out. It was bad enough that he looked like shit to me but what was all this?

“You may leave now”, he commanded the omega who bowed deeply before exiting the room. “And you…” he continued “Step closer to me”.

I didn’t move. I didn’t want to. Finding out why he wants me to move closer to him isn’t in my books so my feet decided that they weren’t going to budge. A mistake which I got to know offended him greatly and may have cost me my life.

When he saw that I didn’t budge, his eyes flashed red and his jaw clenched, making his mandible more pronounced. A loud growl that reverberated throughout the room made me fall to my knees, cowering in fear. He stood and took exactly five strides towards me. I knew then that my life was hanging on a thin rope which doesn’t take much to snap in two.

My whole body trembled and when he ordered me to stand, my legs shakily made it to an upright position. I didn’t dare look at his face because I knew the offense that I had committed. Insolence against Adrik isn’t something to be taken lightly.

“How dare you!” he growled so loudly that I was sure that the whole manor heard him. “You think you can flaunt my orders so easily?”

If I was going to be alive to plan an escape from this hellhole of a pack, then annoying Adrik should be the last thing on my mind. And I had to think of my unborn baby who is suffering for what he knows nothing of. I fell on my knees immediately and kowtowed before Adrik.

“No, alpha. I would never think of flaunting your orders. I’d rather die than disobey you. I was only shocked at your request because I never thought myself worthy of being so close in your presence. I can never disrespect a god who has my life at the tip of his fingers! Please forgive my oversight!” I cried and lay prostrate before him.

From the few days that I have been in this pack, I noticed that alpha Adrik is an egoistic man who loves ungained respect and fear. So, if I can make him believe that I fear and respect him, I might get a little leniency.

I could swear that I saw him puff his chest out in pride. “Get up”, he ordered.

I stood and kept up the perfect façade of a weak she-wolf who was scared for her life. Not that I am not, anyway.

“I will let this tomfoolery slide this once. Any repeat of this will mean your life. Do you understand?” he said in the deadliest tone which had me shivering despite my indignation.

“Yes, alpha. I understand. Forgive me please” I replied with my head still bowed.

His eyes went back to the lewd gaze they had on when I walked into the room and his claws extended. The next second, my floral dress was ripped away from my body and I stood, in all my nakedness. My hands unconsciously wrapped around my chest as I tried to cover the little dignity that I had left.

“Down”, he commanded, looking at my hands specifically.

I knew better than to try to flaunt his commands this time. I slowly allowed my hands to slide down from my chest. I could see the maddened lust in his eyes; he didn’t even do much to hide it. What kind of sick dog tries to sleep with a pregnant prisoner?

His hands roved from my butt up to my breasts and lingered there. I tried to hold in the urge to throw up at the disgusting touch of his hands and focus on planning my escape.

“I see that Lucian has a peculiar taste in women,” he said while his hands played with my nipples.

His eyes roved from all through my body in what I think was an appreciative look, before he pulled me to him and locked his lips on mine.
