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
Kara's POV... It's only been five days since I resumed work as a slave in the Red Lotus pack, and I am almost on the verge of losing my mind. The people I share a room with are just as evil as the doctor that killed Keisha. They have made it a point of duty to frustrate me. My bed gets wet both morning and night. Even when I arrive early to the room in a bid to keep my bed dry, one of them would turn the water on me while in bed.It would have been better if they had stopped there, but they extended their generosity to my food. I don't think I have had a full plate of food since I arrived; they take everything from me. To think I have to work on the farm on an empty belly. I am losing the strength and will to continue. But I can't seem to stop whenever I want to. The day I unintentionally sat for a little while, one of the guards whipped me mercilessly. I realized no other slave was being treated that way except me. It appears there has been a new order that punishes anyone who maltr
Simon's POV...Yanking the door to my room open, I slammed it shut, cursing under my breath. Kara really has some nerve in requesting something like she deserves it. I wish there was a recorded tape of all Alexa's struggles as a slave and play it for Kara to watch. I won't be surprised to find her dead after committing suicide from frustration. She doesn't have a sense of reasoning and shame. I am mortified on her behalf.Unbuttoning the first two buttons of my shirt and undoing my pants zipper, I sat on the couch, letting out a breath of relief at the comfort it provided. A snort escaped my lips as Kara's sleeping face flashed through my memory. She must have been having a good dream. If I wasn't so compassionate as a person, I would have sent her back to work to get her head in the game. She needs to know there is no play around here.But then, a new dispensation brought in a different type of rule, and everyone is to be treated with a huma
