Kara's POV...
Carl had an amused look on his face when I was led into his private court by the guards. I'm sure he must be surprised that he couldn't find me after the ruckus we had caused at the Red Lotus pack. I know it does feel like i have a lot of guts to come into his pack to see him. But then, I like to believe that he accommodates me because of my boldness. I never fail to do whatever I put my mind to. A woman like me is no doubt hard to come by. "You look a mess. Did a shark pass you out of its anus?" He taunted the moment I stood in front of him.Letting out a snicker, i kept it underneath to avoid getting on Carl's bad side. Within the few meters the i had to walk to the packhouse, I had conjured up the right words to say, promising myself not to go overboard until I get all that i want. "Well, you can say that. After fighting so hard to gain my freedom, I had to run for my life to avoid being locked up as a prisoner again. It's a shame our plans foiled." I mumbled.
Humming in response, Carl took a sip of the wine he had in hand. "A plan that you suggested for your selfish reasons. I almost got pushed to bring war upon my own pack. Serves both you and Vader right for misleading me." "I had no intention of misleading you, we both had something to gain from this, and Vader made us think he was on the same course with us. I need your help." "It would be best if you get cleaned up first. You look like an eyesore." Carl commented, turning his face away from her. I inhaled sharply, clenching my fist to the side,I had to remind myself that the disrespect is all for the meantime until I get my footing. "That is so generous of you, Alpha Carl." "Get her cleaned up, fed, and bring her to my chambers after she is well dressed," he instructed the servants. Bowing my head lightly, like the reserved person I am not. I followed the servants without any objection. The servants didn't try to sneer at me or make any side comments. The moment I stepped into the bath, relief washed over me, and my body relaxed into the warm water. Taking my time in the tub, i reminisced on my royal life at the Red Lotus pack. This is nothing close to it, but it felt better than being stuck in the woods. After the bath, food was brought to me, and I didn't hesitate to eat to my fill. The servants didn't give me a breathing space after my meal before whisking me off to meet Carl. I couldn't question them since they were only doing as ordered. The door to Carl's chamber was opened, and he was seated on a large couch with three ladies flanking his sides, caressing his exposed chest and big belly. I groan inwardly; this is something Logan would never do. He has always had eyes for only one woman, which is me. "Ah, you are here now, my darling," Carl said in an excited voice as he dismissed everyone in the room leaving the both of us. I stood stiff a few feet from the main door, "Thank you for the bath and food, Alpha Carl. May I discuss my plans with you now?" A mischievous smirk played on his lips when he gestured for me to sit. "sure, let's have it." I cleared my throat, looking up at him, "Listen, Alpha Carl. I know everything seems bleak at the moment, but it isn't. I need you to help me, give me a room to stay in the packhouse for some time just like you did before until I can devise a perfect plan to get back to Red Lotus pack. You also get to have the woman you have been longing for." A bright smile was plastered on my face as I felt hopeful after expressing myself to Carl. Carl hummed, rubbing his belly. He let out a disgusting belch, and I could tell from the stench that he had eggs for dinner. "Listen, Kara. I don't do things when they don't look profitable to me. Suppose I stick my neck out for you again like the last time; what would you offer me?" "Alexa, of course. I will make sure she becomes yours. Just help me find a roof over my head; that is all I ask for," she replied. "That won't work out this time, Kara. You see, Alexa obviously won't be useful anymore now that the Red Lotus pack has accepted her. And as a good friend, I advise that you give up on trying to get Logan back." "I understand that you don't want Alexa anymore. But I need to get Logan back. I need your help for a place to stay. For old times' sake, please do this for me." He kept mute for a second before putting his legs down; standing up, he didn't bother to cover himself with the robe as he made his way towards me. Carl sat next to me, wrapping one arm around my shoulder. Causing me to stay stiff in his hold. "Relax. I can't hurt you. Don't you trust me?" He mused in a low tone. I gulped at his approach, "I never said you would hurt me. I'm just surprised because of the closeness. We have never sat side by side before." "You are quite good at reading the room. You should know what I am proposing. But to avoid wasting both of our time, I will tell it to you." He leaned back into the couch, releasing my shoulder; he used his long finger to trail my exposed arm. "I will let you stay only on one condition; that you become my concubine. You see beneath your evil side, you are a beautiful woman, Kara. I will like to feel your fierceness as you wiggle underneath me. I think I was mistaken to have wanted Alexa from the beginning." Finally getting the hang of what is about to happen, I sprang up from the seat. "What are you saying?" "Until when do you intend to keep this up? Fighting a lost battle. If you want my help, you must give me something in return. Don't you think it's unfair that you would eat and sleep under my roof without letting me have a taste of you? I can assure you that you would be my favorite concubine. I would visit your room every night and buy you the most expensive dresses." Carl grinned, winking at me. I clenched my fist as Amara made its way to the surface. "I would rather rot in the woods than let your filthy hands touch me!" "Okay, easy on the insults, woman. It's a proposal; since you won't take it, there is no need to exchange words. For old-time's sake, you have been able to eat my food and get clothed all for free. If you still have a bit of self-respect, walk away from here and never come back." My heart practically dropped down to the pit of my stomach, "you are really not going to help me?" He scoffed, "It was a mistake working with you in the first place. I only ended up losing resources and soldiers, all for a mere slave. She was lucky enough to become the chosen Luna. Now I have to harbor you again without any major gain for me. Come on, don't get so delusional. Leave now that I am playing nice. Don't make me call the guards on you." I could feel the tears coming again; this time, a stubborn lone one rolled down my face. Wiping it off hurriedly, I stormed out of the chambers, cursing under my breath. Carl had better prepare to face my wrath because I would definitely get back at him with no remorse.Kara's POV..."Fuck Carl and his entire generation! I hope he rots in hell and he dies a miserable death!" I yelled into the night tearfully. Just when I thought I had another chance to get everything I wanted, Carl decided to toss his card at me. I can't even imagine his horrifying hands on me. The red lotus pack guards that I fucked were a hundred percent better than him, and I would fuck them all over again than have Carl next to me. The guards I had planned on dealing with mocked me as I left the pack. That bastard, Carl, had sent an order asking them to ensure I wasn't lurking around and see me off to the boundary. Wrapping my hair into a loose bun, I cuddled up against the blanket I had begged a servant for before I finally left the goddamn crescent moon pack. The servant was generous enough to hand me some bread and water to help me survive on my journey. She reminded me of my former servant, Diana, who was loyal to the core, but now hates me with her entire being. My only o
Kara's POV...Walking away from the dumb herbalist that thinks he knows best, I tried to figure out what to do next. His words rang in my ears, and I refused to give in to any of it. I would live the way I want; only the evil ones of the world can enjoy the best things in life. Being evil is the only way people would fear you and know better than trying to cross you. I love being evil, and I won't stop now just because of a few challenges. This will pass, and my thoughts will come alive with all my enemies getting to their ruin. I will stop at nothing to bring an end to all of them. The goddess and herbalist can go fuck themselves for all I care. Evil is the only thing that makes this damned world go round. I enjoyed the peak of power with my evil thoughts and decisions. And I would get to enjoy all of that again in a matter of time. I am not going to give up on it now.Beginning my journey with no destination in mind had me feeling quite frustrated. After wandering for hours, I deci
Kara's POV...A man peeked from the window of the house, my eyes caught sight of him. He moved his face almost immediately and it made me worry if he went into hiding to avoid helping us. But to my surprise he stepped out of the house with a water pitcher in hand. He sure knows how to read the atmosphere. Keisha and i looked extremely grateful when he handed us the water without a word. We mouthed a thank you and drank to our fill. After that, he ushered us into the house, asking us to feel comfortable. A delighted look appeared on mine and Keisha's face, as we felt the soft comfort of a couch. "You both must be hungry." The man said. "I will make you a quick meal." We both nodded in agreement and sat still, waiting for the meal. I turned my head to look around the room, it's more of a cabin and would have looked comfortable without all the operating scissors and knives that hung on the wall, and there was a table at the corner of the wall that looked stained with blood, it was ne
Kara's POV...My heart was practically in my mouth at the horrendous look on his face. I have never been as scared in my life as I am right now. Stuttering, I pointed at Keisha's body while struggling to find a way out."Hey, kitty. Where do you think you are going?" He growled, reaching for my leg.Scratching at the floor to get away from him, I screamed at the top of my lungs, hoping someone, any damn person, would hear me."Get off me!" I screeched, feeling blood rush through my face."Fucking stay put, bitch!" He yelled, slashing my leg with a knife.Blood gushed out of the wounded spot as he kept pulling me towards the damned room. Even if I would die now, it would never be in his hands. Using every strength that I possess, I used my free leg to kick hard at his dick. The bastard growled in pain. Ignoring the sharp sting in my leg, I ran out of the house as fast as I could, not minding the blood trail. I would run as far as I could; I am definitely not going to get caught by him.
Kara's POV...My eyes fluttered at the mumblings around me; it confused me about where I was and if I was still dreaming. Someone in the room clapped their hand when they noticed that I moved my hand."She is awake," the person bellowed.The noise enabled me to finally open my eyes. I looked around in disbelief, expecting to see myself in the woods. But it turned out to be a room with four walls that smelt like spirit. And two men dressed in guards' uniforms stood next to the door. My injured leg was wrapped in a neat bandage, and the ache seemed to have subsided. Glancing to my side, I found a doctor packing up her equipment. My heart thumped fearfully at the sight of the doctor's tools, causing me to jolt up abruptly."Easy, you can't stand up like that; you need to rest." The doctor cajoled, trying to touch me.I went berserk, hollering in fear; Doctor Declan's face from the woods was all I could
Simon's POV...Alexa made her way towards us slowly with a hand on her belly; it made me wonder if she knew exactly who I was holding."Good day, Luna," I mumbled, bowing my head a little."Please let her go, Beta Simon," Alexa repeated.Logan turned around angrily, "why? We have no intention of keeping her. She was just being led out of the pack.""Can I talk to you both for a brief second?" She requested.I exchanged a glance with Logan before handing Kara roughly to the guard nearby. "keep a close watch on her. I won't be surprised if she goes to take shelter in an enclosed space without our knowledge." I said, sneering at her.Kara has a lot of guts returning to the pack after everything she did. Selena practically has a never-healing scar because of her. The damage she has caused for her selfish desires is hard to brood on."I hope whatever you called us for has nothing to do with that evil woman," I said as I entered the chambers with Logan and Alexa.Alexa exhaled, sending a so
Kara's POV...I seem to find it hard to move from where Simon left me. The room looked so tiny and dark one would think it was haunted. The bunks to sleep on rattled at every move the other slaves made on it. I can almost see my possible end in this unkempt room. But on second thought, it's far better than me becoming a rogue. This room feels luxurious compared to the woods, where I had to sleep on rotten trees to avoid getting bitten by snakes or having wild insects consume me.One of the slaves with strange brown hair let out a venomous hiss. "Is this a joke? Or are my eyes deceiving me?"Another, with a rat face, gave me a look down. "you are not being deceived. It's the one and only Lady Kara."I expected the third one to say something, but she stayed quiet, sizing me up. I raised my hands in surrender."Please, I would like that we all live in one accord. I'm willing to give peace a chance, ple
Simon's POV...I watched Kara from afar, clasping my hands behind me; she seemed to be doing a haphazard assault on the weeds she was working on. The earth would definitely be having a hard time with how she stroked at it. She is so bad at it that I can't help but laugh at the sight. Selena told me about the trouble she had gotten into with the other slaves at lunch. It makes me glad she is experiencing first-hand humiliation from the lowest class to exist in the pack.Clearing my throat, I moved closer to her; her skin looked burnt from the harsh sun. She dripped of sweat, and her hair stuck to her forehead. I chuckled loudly as I stood in front of her."How does it feel toiling the soil? Responsible?" I uttered in a deep tone. She kept digging into the ground more enthusiastically, showing her anger. I am still surprised that she has refused to say anything to me. "Do you really have nothing to say?" I pressed on.Kara turned her head to hold my gaze with a b
