Kai’s POVI heard all of it.From the little “clank” sounds as she moved through the metal tunnels, to the little clank that the tunnel covering had made when she’d pushed it open, but at first I didn't know she was the one approaching me.I’d first of all heard the ceiling creak unusually and as a light sleeper that was also ridden with an inability to sleep without nightmares, I woke up instantly. At that point, I had no idea who was there but I didn't make a peep because I was eager to meet the rascal that dared to sneak up on me at night.However, when the she got closer to the edge of the tunnel, I picked up her unmistakable sent immediately and I realized that no one else asides from her would dare to pull off such a foolish scheme.The moment she moved toward me, I heard the unmistakable sound of an extremely sharp knife being pulled out from a sheath and I knew that she’d planned to finally exert her revenge by killing me.Despite knowing that I didn't move, I decided to remai

Cora’s POVIt's been days.Four long days since I’d been in the torture room after I was caught red handed trying to kill Kai, and I hated him more every passing second. My wolf was incredibly weak from the silver chains I was bound in, but she used every morsel of strength she could gather to slowly heal my bruises so I would pass out after a while from losing blood.My hands were tied behind me on a chair and I was fed water like an animal once every day, instead of being left without food or water like he usually preferred.I wondered if he was growing soft on me or he just wanted to keep me alive longer so he could torture me as he liked, either way he was foolish to do so because my resolve to kill him hadn't wavered one bit, it’d only gotten stronger.So strong that on the second day of my imprisonment, I’d almost escaped to try and kill him again despite how the first time went. Nina had searched high and low for me after she’d seen me tied to the pillar while Kai gloated, but

Cora’s POV I was pacing up and down impatiently while Nina went to get Leila’s spare room keys because she was a weirdo with skeletons in her closet that locked her room with a key even if she’d be away from it for a minute.My entire body was burning in anticipation to deal with her good for nothing ass, and since I needed a win so badly, I was going to make sure I pulled it off no matter what the odds of succeeding were.Just then, the door knob rattled and a disoriented Nina walked in while covered in sweat.“Shit, did something happen? You couldn't get it?” I walked over to her quickly and tried to study her expression and appearance.“I was this close,” she curved her in index finger to almost touch her dumb for emphasis “to being caught and dealt with severely”“Ugh! You should’ve just let me handle it, seat and gather your strength” I held her by her shoulders and led her toward the bed and pushed her down gently to sit.She shook her head at me.“No, you’d have been spotted t

Kai’s POVCora had began her new duty of cleaning my room for about a week now, but each time she was cleaning I was absent, and other times, I’d only bump into her when she’s leaving my room after cleaning and I’m arriving back from my morning training session. And of course, the only thing she ever greeted me with was a death glare, one that made it seem like she’d stab my eyes with a blunt pencil if she was given a tiny opening to do so. I was both intrigued and flattered by the intensity with which she hated me, it fueled my self absorption just as much as the fear of my subjects.However, on this fateful day, I’d skipped my morning session to catch up on some work so I was present while she cleaned, and for a dethroned princess, she did a pretty swell job at it.But what really mattered to me were how her beautiful curves called to me while she bent to sweep my floors, her ass cheeks were moulded into perfectly round mounds, she had a striking and generous amount of hips that ma

Cora’s POV Good.At least I’d get to give him a piece of my mind while the other maids left, I thought to myself as I spun around to face him.He’d just made me seem like a plague by indirectly telling all the maids that they shouldn't interact with me, I hated most of them for how they treated me and made vile comments whenever I was near but what I hated even more was how much control he was exerting over my life by dictating who was allowed to engage with me.Even more, I was furious because it meant that Nina would have to tiptoe around and risk her life just in attempt to keep in contact with me without getting caught. Kai had taken my entire pack from me and it enraged me that his restrictions would endanger the life of the only person that felt like home to me. “Walk any slower and I’ll have all your heads on a pike tonight” He threatened the maids that were leaving the basement slowly and everyone practically ran out in seconds on hearing him.I glared daggers at him as the
