Getting to the Golden Lily was relatively easy, even though it was quite far away from what she knew and meant more reasons to piss Mom off by coming late, but getting him out of the car was harder. He practically refused to come out at first, whining about how badly his head hurt before he suddenly looked at her, muttering something about her not leaving and then sticking unto her like they were glued together.
It was the first time she was being close to anyone, a man for that matter, especially a nice looking one so no one could blame her if she liked the proximity.Nine mentally slapped that thought away.When they got in, her eyes flew to the gold plated walls and glass ceilings, plus the air smelled like something you had to pay for actually breathing in. Goddess. "Um, excuse me,"Nine turned to the receptionist, who had a completely astounded look on her face like they were two big rats in her establishment. Two very wild, untamed rats. She nearly laughed at the thought because she had experience with things like that but she didn't, instead she said with the most dignified voice she had, "I'm here to order a room,"The lady's eyes stared at Nine for a full minute before turning to the still hooded male with his shades still on and had all his weight on her, which was to prevent Nine's escape then slowly, turned back to Nine, speaking carefully, "I think you're in the wrong establishment—""I am," Nine stated, "He's not. Don't rich people always know each other?""Well, he's covered—""Yeah, well, don't judge a book by its covers, I think," Nine said, then turned to look at him. "We're here. What do you want?"He mumbled his answer, though it was loud enough for her to hear. "You,"Nine could feel the woman's eyes widen at the outright statement, while her cheeks filled up with heat, but she ignored this and said, "We're at the hotel. I'm sure you want to sleep or something, so you can just—""You're talking too much," His face now buried itself into her neck. "I like you more when you're quiet."Goddess, why did he smell so nice?"I think you both should—""Hold on," Nine cut in. This was getting ridiculous, staying here was beginning to feel like she was dreaming. She was in a hotel she'd never be able to afford in five years, no matter how hard she worked, with a man who seemed to actually want her. It was time to wake up.Her hands moved into his pockets swiftly and in a second, she brought out a gold card that had a weird emblem of a cross on it and set it on the counter. "There you go. I'm sure that's got to have a lot of money,"The woman stared at the card. Nine didn't think it would be possible for her eyes to increase in size, but they did as she stared at it, then back at him. The look on her eyes didn't hold the same disgust and irritation it had before. It held something close to respect, and fear. Mostly fear. "Of course," She was at her computer now, quickly typing before presenting her with a key. "Please, have a nice stay."Her whole demeanor had changed. Not that it really mattered as she took the keys, Nine knew money could bring out the angels in people, even if it was for a short while.As they got to the room with the number of the key on its door, she opened it, again entering one of her dream states again. The room looked like an apartment of its own. A crazily expensive one, and the bed. It wouldn't be bad if she laid on it for a few seconds, would it?"Sophie,"Right. She had nearly forgotten about the man still holding her."I'm not Sophie," She stated. Though she wasn't the least offended. Not like she cared if she was a Genevieve, she had enough money. If he called her a donkey, she wouldn't even bat an eye. "Come on,"They both staggered to the bed before she placed him on it. He fell first, bed sinking in a way that reminded Nine of how her bed were literal bricks before she tried moving away, and felt his hand clamp itself around her wrist.She tugged, cursing at his strength even though she could swear normal men with the amount of alcohol they had taken should have had their lights out by now before she was suddenly pulled to the bed and had him on her.Nine backtracked, her brain freezing as it took the situation in front of her. There was a man, a drunk man, on her body, who had more strength on her without even trying and she couldn't move. "What are you—""Sophie," His voice became tinier as he bent down to her neck and began to sniff it and let out small pants. "W-Why are you always trying to leave me?"At those words, her brain kicked up, causing her to try shoving him off, but he didn't even move an inch, instead he had her hands pinned above her head with one hand and the other pushing her legs open like Nine wasn't using all of her power to keep them shut as she screamed, "I'm not Sophie! I swear, I'm Nine! My name's—"He paused, now looking at her face. Nine's heart rose and fell now as she stared at him. Her whole body still tried to wriggle out of his grasp before he bent down, his body now between hers and used his free hand to touch her face. His touch was gentle, the first gentle she had ever gotten. "It's okay, Soph. I'd make it feel good. I'd make you love me."The first tear fell. No one had ever spoken to her so nicely before, and this would be her first time. First time anyone was looking her with something close to devotion. First time someone was touching her. First time someone would want to have anything to do with her. It broke her heart more than the thought of what he was about to do to her did. "Please. Please, you don't have to—"He kissed her. She tried to clamp her mouth shut, but he bit on her lip causing her to gasp and give him access. He tasted of alcohol, and something else. Something else that made her want to kiss him back, but she didn't, instead, she cried, cried because she knew deep down, the only reason he wanted something to do with her, was because he thought she was someone else.He pulled away now and looked at her, his eyes worried. "It's okay, Sophie. Don't— Don't cry. You don't look— B-Beautiful when you— Cry.""I'm not—" She felt more tears fall. "I'm not Sophie,"But he didn't seem to hear. Instead, he kept staring at her. "You are very beautiful."And before she could think twice of it, he thrusted in.Nine screamed, screamed so loud at the intrusion, at his side, at everything, and as if that was what her body needed, it fought to get him off, fought to stop the pain, but she couldn't do that. Instead, it seemed like the more she tried fighting him off, the more determined he was to keep her below him.Terror paralyzed her. Her eyes were wide as she stared unseeing at the ceiling.. His cock was big and since she was not aroused and had never done this before, felt her body burn from the searing pain it caused as he pushed deep into her and heard him growl deep in his throat. There was nothing else to do, nothing that she could do than to lay down helplessly as he started thrusting into her.They became deeper and harder, and in a flash, she was lifted up, her legs splayed out in the air as he slammed into her from beneath. She felt his hands on her breasts, his tongue in her neck and him still inside in her, filling her up so much that she felt she would burst. Her voice turned hoarse as he increased his pace. It hurt, it hurt so much. Like sandpaper being dragged across her skin. Her eyes flew to the ceiling as more tears fell. Nine had always hated herself, for who she was, what she was, but she hadn't hated herself more than she did now.She hated herself for being weak. For putting herself into this mess.For being Nine.His head went to her neck now, sniffing again as he went faster now, mumbling something incoherently under his breath while her whole body felt numb. Everything and everywhere hurt."Fuck, I think— I think I'm going to cum," He took his head away from her neck and looked at her. There were tears in his eyes, but there weren't sad ones. He looked... Happy. "I love you so much, Sophie."In that instant, Nine had found something she hated more than herself.That name.A second later, she felt him release into her, the warmth coating every part of her wall. Was she disgusted? She was. Did she feel like dying? She did, but Nine let him do what he wanted, and when he was done, let him roll off her body and fall beside her, finally out like a light.Nine didn't sleep.She couldn't. Not with the fact her whole body felt like a truck had rammed itself over her and the fear that anything could happen, that at any moment, he'd wake up and try hurting her again.It didn't.All her instincts screamed at her to run, run as fast as her legs could go, but moving hurt and in a hotel like this, running would cause a scene. A scene that Nine knew wouldn't be in her favour. She knew that this man, whoever he was, had enough money to make it look like she had been the one to force herself on an intoxicated him and who would believe a girl with looks like her?Nine waited till the sun came up and tried sitting up. Her waist and legs protested at the action but she fought the need to give up down. From a corner of her eyes, she could see many more bruises that he had given. Bruises that meant he had used all his strength to keep her down.Inhuman strength.Her brain made her aware that she had just been raped by a werewolf, and a werewolf meant
"He's in here, Your Highness."Lior heard the words first before his eyes fluttered open. He looked around him, wondering why his room looked different before he sat up, meeting two palace guards standing at the door and his Elder brother walking in.Lucas had on his royal wear as well. With a disappointed look in his face. The Crown Prince looked around, his eyes flashing a colour of amber before he said, "There was someone else here. Search around."The guards went to work immediately. Scanning all around the room and the bathroom before returning and saying there was no one else.Lior, on the other hand, had no idea why everywhere was spinning and looked entirely different than he remembered it. "W-What's going on?""I should be asking you," Lucas shot back. "Running off on your own birthday and putting the Royal family in absolute panic. Setting off your phone and the tracker in your car. Going off radar. Lodging in a hotel which by the way, we would have never found out if we did
Nine felt like her body did not belong to her. It felt like her body just rebelled and now she could not stop the nausea swelling within her combined with the extreme hunger and weariness. She had not even been eating well and she was dropping weight fast. She could not focus at work and she could not even think straight. She had missed shifts and no matter how much she tried, she found it impossible to go to work. She was scared. She knew Mom would not take it lightly, she would hurt her, she would find some kind of retribution and the worst thing about it was the only thing she could do was wait. Her room, unlike most of the other kids in Petal, held nothing too memorable, or expensive which was obvious with the absence of cloths or anything that could make a room comfortable. Plus, whatever money she managed to earn went straight to Mom, and the others who had come in, unlike her, had managed to pay off their debts.Mom always demanded thrice of the initial payment she bought the
Mom's appearance into her room happened only a minute after the Doctor's declaration. Her face twisted into complete rage with the speed she used to reach Nine's bedside being the fastest she had ever seen the obese woman gone. "You little bitch!""Mom—"The rest of her words got choked out as the woman's fat hands clamped itself around Nine's neck. She spluttered, trying to get her grip off but she was still too weak to. "After everything I've fucking done for you, you open your legs for some sick bastard, I swear I should just kill you and save myself the stress later!""Madame Dalia!"The Doctor was now in the room, pulling Mom off her body who seemed ready to squeeze the life out of Nine. She coughed out now, her hand gently massaging her neck while she tried taking in breathes as impossible as it seemed even though Mom's hand had been pulled off..Pregnant? There was no way she could be except... Except that one time. How was that even possible? There were other girls at home tha
It was the first time Nine was seeing the Golden Lily during the daytime. It stood high to the heavens like a skyscraper, with clear glass walls and windows, a swimming pool that glittered and gardens all around it. Once again, she found herself daydreaming about how nice it would be to actually stay a day there before the feeling of someone squeezing hard on her arm brought her back to Earth.Mom's face was still twisted in a grimace, and as if to point out her anger, squeezed more onto Nine's bruises causing her to wince as she said, gritting her teeth. "Do not act like a brat out there. Do you understand?"Nine nodded.She let her go now, her big eyes still following Nine as the girl walked out before the obese woman did. Her eyes stared back at the gate, her legs begging her to run back. She knew Mom. She would cause a scene if anyone tried ignoring her but before she could think twice on her decision, Mom's fleshy hands were on her arm again, pulling her towards the doors.The gl
"Who would have thought you ugly bitch would ever make me rich?!"There was a manic look on Mom's face as she drove. If Nine thought she was driving recklessly before, she seemed determined to end their lives now. "When you gave that description, I knew it had to be that boy. Freaks like freaks! And I was damn right!"Nine felt her body slam into the car's door. The seat she was in had no belt so she kept being thrown around. The urge to throw up climbed up her throat but she fought it down.Puking in Mom's car would not end well.The car's speed began to decrease as they reached the palace. There were three gates: The massive one at the center that towered almost sixty feet, which bore engravings that meant nothing to Nine but glowed under the light of the sun and there were two lesser gates, each twenty feet tall, made of a kind of metal which caught the sun in a strange way, shimmering and subtly changing colors.Mom parked the car in a corner, ordering Nine out and as soon as they
Lior sat crossed legs on his bed, his face staring into space as he stroked the fur of his cat, Summer. She was a white furred feline that had more grace and kindness than most people, but she also had an attitude that made him can't help but laugh sometimes.Except now.He had done all he could. For so long... He had dedicated his weeks to Sophie. To get her attention. What had he not done? A part of him even craved to get her attention on him again. Just to look at him, but it seemed like they had never been friends before.His love for her had made him respect her decision to not tell anyone. Even though Ora and Kenji had begged at the beginning, he ignored them, eventually locking himself up in the room.Summer, unlike everyone, never asked questions. She let him hold her without making a fuss out of it, and there were times when she would rest on his chest when she realized tears were streaming down his face.He wasn't sure how he could have gone a day without her.Lior's ears tw
"No!"Elizabeth was the first to react. Her face was twisted into complete scorn and rage as she yelled, "My son would never do such a thing! He can't— He's not the—"Then she turned to Leonard, her voice breaking. "Tell her she lies. Tell her,"It broke Lior hearing her. She sounded so desperate to hear her son uninvolved from this sin, but that was impossible. The girl was not lying."Madame Dalia," Leonard sounded angry, but his voice still carried sanity in it as he spoke each words as carefully as he could, "I need you to be sure, of your words. I will not hesitate to mete out the appropriate punishments if this is a lie.""I'm a Mother as well, your Majesty," Dalia's voice sounded hoarse now. And hurt. "I would never put such a traumatic experience on my daughter and foil her dignity for no just reasons."Leonard's jaw clenched as he stared at the woman. Though he wasn't looking at him, Lior could feel the disappointment flowing in waves out of his body and all around the room,
