Cora’s POVI grudgingly cleaned up the horrible mess that Kai had made of my hard work by spilling dirty water and by the time I was finished I was so hungry and drained that my stomach was growling so loudly that I was sure it was echoing through the hallways.Quickly, I packed up my cleaning equipment and headed toward the kitchen to grab my breakfast before they ran out of servings. As I entered the kitchen, I thanked my stars that there were still bowls of food left and I grabbed one hastily and made my way toward the door.However, I halted my footsteps when I felt someone’s eyes on me, and I immediately turned around to find who the culprit was.Her again?! I grumbled inwardly.The same maid that had been staring at me awkwardly like a stalker on my first day walking in the hallways was crouched in a corner staring back at me with wide, questioning eyes. And if course, like the last time it pissed me off and I decided to get to the bottom of it once and for all so it wouldn't re

Cora’s POVI’d never dwelt on the fact that after losing my entire pack to Kai’s cruelty I’d become a lone wolf who didn't belong anywhere until I heard Nina’s confession and it shook me from my core to the roots of my very being.My wolf and I had consequently been knee deep in emotions for a couple of hours after meeting one of our own when we thought we never would.However, I knew that it was extremely foolish to dwell on foolish emotions so I snapped out of it and reminded myself that I had a much greater mission, which was to get my long overdue revenge for losing my family.And if my encounter with Nina was proof of anything reasonable, it was only that she’d become an extra reason for me to toughen up and see the mission through to the end because I also needed to get revenge for the child labor she’d endured under his reign that broke her spirit and made her such a timid woman when the women from my lineage were naturally fierce.I needed to teach Kai a lesson, and I needed to

Cora’s POVThe limp in my leg as I left Kai’s chambers made it unbelievably painful to walk but I refused to wince in pain as I did and I took solace in the fact that my wolf would soon heal the sore spots and scars I’d gotten from having my legs bound in chains for almost an entire day.But ultimately I was elated that it had not been in vain since Kai didn't do the one thing I was scared that he would do when I lied about how I had gotten into his room; search me. At least because of that i still had his royal seal that I had stolen tucked securely under my maid apron. I smiled as I thought of that little accomplishment and before I could dwell on the joy of my narrow escape any further, I felt an odd presence around me.It suddenly felt like someone had been following me from when I left Kai’s chambers and I felt uneasy as I turned around to see who it could’ve been.And of course, it was none other than Kai’s asshole of a beta.He’d conveniently joined the list of people I hated

Cora’s POVAs I walked out of the dining hall with Kai’s release on my dress, I momentarily felt a cloud of shame as the guards gawked at me like fresh meat. Their backs had been turned away from us while Kai rudely fucked my mouth, but the moment his command echoed in the empty hall as he sent me out of his sight, they took the cue that he was done and turned around to stare at the mess I was.I could distinctively pick up the scents of their arousal while I was being dominated and it hadn’t diminished one bit up until the second I crossed the threshold of the dining hall’s doors. Even after I crossed that hurdle of eyes, I was met with more guards outside who must’ve overheard the entire ordeal and their arousal was just evident as that of the other guards, which made me wonder if all men were fucking dense and controlled by the tool between their legs.When I noticed that feeling shame wouldn't do me any good, I mentally shrugged it off and put on a bold face as I strutted past th

Cora’s POV3am.My eyes flung wide open and I knew that it was participation for the day ahead that had caused my body to jolt awake at such an odd hour of the morning. I looked to my side and Nina was draped under the sheets and snoring lightly with the pencil from the night before lightly clutched between her fingers.I stretched enthusiastically and pushed myself out of bed because I had an extremely important day ahead; one where I’d finally rid the world of an abominable tyrant’s reign of terror. I made my way to the bathroom and rushed through my bath and did same with my dressing up as well, mostly because I needed to get more familiar with the map before I set out for the library’s archives.After I was fully dressed, I grabbed the map and muttered intelligible words as I studied the routes I needed to memorize. I paced up and down and carefully went over all the details of the operation that I and Nina had finalized on after staying up past midnight until I was satisfied with
