“Get me out of this place now! Get me out of this place! I want to see Lucien! Get me out!” Stacey yelled out, banging the door furiously.
She staggered back, her eyes red stricken and her hand covered with blood as a result of the banging. But she didn’t care. She wanted out, she wanted to talk. She remembered everything clearly now, starting from the first incident of her life. He was never her mate, he was never anything to her. He was the devil of all devils and the most feared Alpha across all continents.
“You’ve been disturbing the whole courtyard. The alpha would come to see you soon, you don’t have to worry,” a guard said to her before turning back.
“I want to see Lucien! I demand to see him now!” She yelled into the guard’s face.
“For what?” She heard a voice that shook all of her insides.
The confidence she had while yelling to see him was long gone, as the devil was now in front of her. She staggered back to the wall, got tears streaming down her face and her whole body shooking out of fear.
“Tell me, you want to see me. Here I am. What is it?” He said, taking the first step into the cell she has been placed in.
Stacey gulped down, her wolf already whimpering in her.
“I….i..do..don’t…know what my father had said to you….but…”
“Your father doesn’t care about you.” He replied as he approached her.
She continued to back away, moving from sides to sides as she avoided him. Why! Why was the world so cruel to her? The past weeks have been so good for her, basking in his name, enjoying every single thing but it all came crashing down when she remembered. Why couldn’t she stay without the bad memories! Why must she remember them?
“I want only one thing from you. Your power, and after that you’re free to go.”
“I….I don’t have any..” she cried out, going on her knees immediately.
“I swear I don’t have any. I’m just a weak wolf..”
“Do it again. What you did in the courtroom. I want to see it again,” he said to her.
Stacey's eyes darted from Lucien to the guard, darting back towards Lucien.
“I…I didn’t..didn't..do anything…”
Lucien looked at the guard as a smirk curled his lips up. He walked towards her, closing in on her before she could run to another angle of the cell and choking her throat.
“I don’t give a fuck about you!” He started, his widened eyes staring directly into hers. “I don’t care who you are or if you’re weak. I can easily kill you on the spot if it’s not for what you possess! And because of that, you need to do it quickly if you want to survive this place.” He said before throwing her to the ground.
Tears burned in Stacey's eyes as her whole body yelped out in pain. She curled down, trying to stop the tears from streaming down her eyes. All her life, she has never found love, she never got one, both from her parents and even from outsiders. She never had a friend. They all abused her, disrespected her and cursed her existence.
She had kept to herself since then, and vowed to do anything to make someone love her like she needed to be loved. She was not just born for the usage of the world and her father’s kingdom, she was needed by herself to. But each time she was close to finding love, something spoiled it, or something always came to ruin it.
A tear slid down her face as she sniffed in, her body trembling out of fear.
“Call the priestess and the other people. I want the ritual of her powers to begin immediately.” She heard him say as she sat up.
The guard bowed and left, leaving Stacey to manage to stand up in pain,
“W…wh..what.. ritual..ritual..” she trembled, moving closer to him.
He turned back to look at her, a devilish chuckle escaping his throat and his eyes burning with his red balls, indicating how merciless he could be.
“I need your power to take over the thrones of Alpha of all Alphas. It has been my dream to be the commander of every pack and for them to see me with respect! And coming to your pack brought me that opportunity, the same one your father refused to see in you.” He said, excitement in his voice as he circled her.
“You have something strange in you. Something that makes you better than all of us. But you’re just too weak to discover that.” He added, walking towards her and raising her chin with one finger.
He leaned in and kissed her tears, holding her hand to stop her from trembling,
“But don’t worry, my love. As long as you give me your power, I will give you everything you desire…” he whispered in her ears.
“….if it hasn’t cost you your life.” He added before walking away from her.
Stacey felt her best wrech out in pain, bleeding out to say something but there were no words to say. Her life was miserable enough and she had grown tired of it. She had never for once smiled, or never for once not been scared someone was coming in. She fell to her knees, her hands touching the cold ground as she was remembered of her fathers torture.
She didn’t care if she died. She was sure she was tired of living anyway. What was the point of living when there was no single enjoyment for her? Where there was no one to care for her and treat her like the princess she was born to be.
“Great!” She heard him say and looked up, noticing the priestess saying something in a hushed tone to him. His expression took a turn, darkening as he glanced at her before rushing out.
“I’ll be back for you!” He yelled out as they all sprang out.
And just like that, something had ruined her beautiful chance to end it all, just like always.
“Ahh,” she groaned out in pain, managing to stand up from where she fell too and towards the end corner of the room.The walls of everywhere had always given her solace, it didn’t matter where or when, she found peace in cold walls and under the blanket of her bed. The tears she had been trying to compress poured down her face. Why couldn’t something work for her? Her memories could have stayed hidden and allowed her to enjoy more but why! Why didn’t it stay hidden?Why did something have to interrupt her death plan? Why did she have to stumble on her father’s foot that day and be tortured with 36 whip lashes. Or why did she have to be dressed stupidly by the maid and end up hated by her father? “Why! Why!” She yelled out as the tears continued to stream down her face.There was no one to blame but the moon goddess, causing her to be born on her day and leaving her with nothing. She couldn’t get a whole day without getting injured, or yelled oat, or have someone trample on her. She c
“Mate..” the words that left their mouths together.Their eyes stared deep into each other, and for a while, it looked more like he was staring inside her soul. His mate. It can’t be. The least he had expected from someone who was nothing but a bed-thing for the devil was her turning out to be his mate. Was the devil lying all this while? Deceiving the whole capital he found his mate while in truth, she belonged to him. Could this be a plan work between the both of them? But what would she stand to gain if she did that with the devil?“Who are you?” Ronan heard her say and he immediately felt disgusted. He blinked away from her gaze, roaming his eyes around the passage only to frown his brows.“Where were you going to?” He asked, staring back into those black eyeballs.He could see the fear in her eyes after his words, and for some reason, it sat well with him. He didn’t plan on keeping her for long, even if it means she was his mate. She was also the devil plaything, and he only ca
Chapter 7Even the look on her face was enough to tell Roman she clearly didn’t care. With his fingers stroking his chin lightly, he stared at her with extreme attention. “Which pack are you from?” His Beta, Eric asked her.She opened her mouth to talk but closed it back, making him annoyed. She was doing this on purpose, and clearly didn’t care about the outcome.“Take her back to her room and lock her up!” He yelled out. She stood up immediatly and dropped her arm out as the guards approached her. He stared at her till she disappeared, and continued to stare at the wooden door until his beta spoke up.“What are we going to do about her? She won’t say anything.” “Something is wrong.” Ronan muttered, darting his gaze to his Beta.He stood up from the chair he was seated on to start pacing, something he does whenever he’s frustrated.“Something is clearly wrong with her.”“Why do you say that?” His beta asked.He ran his hands through his hair, his gaze returning to the door, “she’s
“Who is going to do the killing?” Stacey repeated, looking up at him as he turned to look at her.If he had thought something was wrong and not sure, her words now made it so true. “I’m not going to kill you.” He said, scoffing out loud.“Then that means you’re going to torture me. Same process with them.” She added. He curled his gaze up, more surprised as he eyed her. “The maid would come and clean you up.” He said and turned away, not waiting for one more second as he darted out. He mindlinked his beta immediately,“In my chambers! Now!” He ordered, his expression serious at every step he took towards his room.Her words affected him greatly, and the look on her face baffled him. He needed to get into more details about her, if not from her, then he’ll do his finding. “Your highness,” the guards greeted, earning a nod from him as he entered his chambers, not surprised to see Eric seated already.“What’s wrong? You look annoyed.”“Because the girl is not saying anything..”“Did
Chapter NineStacey was surprised when a maid entered a room, carrying a full tray of food and also with a guard at her back. But what surprised her most was when the maid took her seat on the bed and watched her.“Aren’t you going to leave?”she said after a while.“I’ve been assigned to take care of you. Trust me, it’s not something I want either.” The maid retorted, making Stacey's lips curl up.She was used to the behavior of the maids right from her pack, and it didn’t surprise her to see her acting like that. If her father’s maid could act condescending towards her and she put up with it for close to 20 years, why would she allow a maid of no one to act like that to her.She was clearly hungry, and the food on the table was intriguing, so she stood up and walked towards it. She was sure the guards were standing outside, and a maid inside. Only the goddess knew what was going on. She started to eat, drowning in her own new world. The food tasted sour to her lips, just like the sa
“What’s going on here?” Stacey heard the lady repeat before standing up from the maid, who scrambled up and dashed towards the lady immediately.She dropped the knife back to the table and walked towards the bed, brushing past the lady and laid back down.“Close the door as you leave.”Stacey’s eyes darted towards the door immediately, her heart raising a little bit before gulping and looking away. Another of them,” she thought to herself.“Leave it open,” she heard the lady say, a look of surprise almost flashing through her face.“I’m Janiya.” She heard her say as she moved closer to the bed. Stacey shifted away a bit, making her stop in her tracks and folding her hand to herself. “It seems you don’t like too much people,” “The alpha sent me here…“To kill me?” Stacey sprung up immediately, meeting with her eyes. “Nope!” Janiya retorted, surprise lacing her face.“Not at all. I’m just here to always talk to you, be with you and we can have fun together.” She replied, taking ano
Chapter tenStacey bathed herself the next morning, a smile on her lips as she wore her final clothes. After a while, a new maid came in, and she could sense the fear as she greeted her.“The alpha requests your presence in the dining room.” The maid said, bowing curtly before leading the way.She frowned her face as she followed her, taking note of the surroundings as her mind wandered on why she was called to the dining room.“Don’t be scared. It might be the meeting room for today,” Freya said to her as she sighed. Being tough was hard, but it also had its pecks. If she hadn’t acted tough with the maid, this other one wouldn't have treated her nicely the way she was doing now. And the lady they had sent would keep on probing her until she finally said something. The door to the stairs she saw the other night led them to a large hall, the same she was called in the other day, before cutting through another corner, finally reaching the room. “Have your seat, they’ll be here any mi
Chapter 12Stacey earned herself a weird look from the three of them, but she was not bothered about it. Even before the Alpha picked his spoon to eat, she started immediately, leaving them to stare at her while she continued to eat. She could feel someone’s piercing gaze on her even after they all started eating, but she ignored it.She was still nervous, even under her whole tough charade, a part of her was scared. What if he doesn’t buy it anymore and wants to torture her? She clenched her jaw as she recalled her father torturing her, the way his eyes gleamed with anger, his veins almost popping out of his head as he raised the whip to deliver it to her back. And the smile on his face as he talked to the elders, the same time sinking his nails to her back. Her eyes glistened with tears, and she immediately lost her appetite. She dropped her spoon slowly, trying her best for the tears not to roll down her cheeks. But the moon goddess was always against her, because Ronan had kept h
