BRIELLE’S POV“No, no…” Brielle whimpered softly, closing her eyes, unable to block out her father's harsh words from the night before.Even though it was morning, she couldn't sleep because every time she closed her eyes, images of her father sitting in that chair filled her head.The sinister look on his face and the smirk on his lips as he said those hurtful words to her reminded her of her dreadful past. Worse, she was now in a freezing cell, soaked to the bone and drenched in ice-cold water poured on her the night before.She remembered being dragged back here after her father seemed to have ordered it, severing the order of the boss who had purchased her.The same boss and mysterious stranger who forced them to treat her well, but now that her father was in charge, it appeared that he was determined to make her suffer, and he would go to any length to ensure that.Brielle huddled herself, her teeth chattering and wrapping her arms around her body; she tried to stifle the painfu

BRIELLE’S POV'I'm at a loss for words at this point, but I pity the poor girl. To believe Cassius Warren is her father, and she is being treated in this manner...' Brielle cried all night as the words of the guard played over and over in her head.All the tortures she had endured on her way here did not hurt her as much as this situation did. Her father was involved in this. He had a hand in this predicament she was facing. He wasn't dead, and he and the mysterious buyer, clearly his boss, had strange, sinister plans for her.What did they intend to do with her? Was she still going to be sold and passed from man to man like an animal?What was happening to her? Where was Lord Darius? Or was her entire existence a joke to these creeps?Brielle's heart pounded painfully, and she kept telling herself that it was all a dream and that she would wake up and everything would be fine, but the more she said it, the more reality stared back at her.Her thoughts were scattered, her brain was

DARIUS POVDarius noticed the wolves from a distance, dragging something that resembled... Brielle! Her fiery blonde hair shone brightly even in the dim light of day, and a snarl escaped his lips.He had searched the entire estate for her, but his efforts had been futile, forcing him to step outside.As the attacks continued, with some of the building structures being blown apart by bombs, Darius ignored everything and focused instead on finding Renee.With no sign of her in the damned castle, he’d decided to venture into the woods.The horror he was now staring at was all it took to bring him back to reality, and hurling the pistol in his hands, Darius roared once more before transforming into the beast he was.Bones cracking and his voice getting groggier, he quickly transitioned into his Apex wolfish form.When he was entirely in his animal form, he began to sprint towards them, using all his power, but just before he got there, a figure appeared from nowhere and stopped in front

BRIELLE’S POVBrielle's head was throbbing like crazy.She felt like someone was slamming a giant hammer into her brain or stamping on them with their feet.The pain was so excruciating that she tried to caress her head with her palm, but she couldn't even move an inch.Brielle attempted again with her eyes closed, putting her hands on her arm and she started to rub the fragile skin albeit slowly, shifting to the sides, wishing to face the walls of the... She blinked twice, and her eyes startled open.Her hands left her arm. It fell on something, and soon she was touching a soft material.A soft foam that she was currently on.She wasn't in a cell. Nor was she on the cold, damp flood. Instead, she was on a soft foam bed, and when she moved, she felt the mattress sink deeper.What the?!Her vision was already becoming a bit clearer, and since she still hadn't registered where she was, her emphasis on the bed, Brielle decided to look around where she was.However, the room was dimly dar

DARIUS POVThe alcohol Darius was gulping down his throat did nothing to alleviate the questions and thoughts racing through his mind.Grumbling angrily as he took another swallow, the rough taste of the whiskey slammed down his throat, and it caused him to cough slightly.Rocky stood alongside him, talking about the aftermath of the fight they had yesterday, and while he appeared to be listening, Darius knew his mind was elsewhere."What about the guard who was injured?" Darius suddenly blurted out, his first words since Rocky started his reporting.His brows wrinkled as he remembered Brielle's request earlier.The guard had been kind to her, and he’d even been against whatever her captor had done to her.He had even released her when the mansion was under assault, and according to Brielle, she owed him her life. ‘How ridiculous.’ Darius scoffed as his thoughts continued spiraling.Also, he didn't tell Brielle that he'd shot the fucker down because Darius knew she'd be upset at him
