Cora’s POVThe guard nodded in Kai’s direction upon getting my approval and the Alphas and men I’d come to identify as rogue wolves in attendance cheered him on. However, I was barely surprised that there were rogues in the audience since they loved barbaric sexual shows such as these much more than anyone else.My eyes suddenly bulged out as I saw Kai whisper something to the man beside him and the man passed on the message in whispers to the others until it seemed like they were all in sync, the entire time it was happening, I knew that whatever was being whispered couldn't be good, nowhere near it.My thoughts were confirmed when a host of the men in the audience those from their seats and came much closet to the glass cubicle so they could get a better view of me, and as they stared at my exposed body, their mouths seemed to be watering with anticipation.Pleased with the crowd that had gathered, the guard lifted me off the floor with an arm and held me tightly against himself suc

Cora’s POVImmediately after the completion of my chores, I gathered my towel and bath oils and made my way toward the stream for a through bath since I no longer had a room of my own with a bathtub where I could do my usual ritual of scrubbing the filth off my body for days after a shameful sexual encounter with Kai.I was humming a meaningless tune as I walked toward the stream and just before I reached, I heard a whisper from three maids by a tree that made me halt and snap my neck in their direction with fiery eyes.“What the fuck did I just hear you say?” I was ready to pull out every strand of hair out of their decorative heads so that it would look as empty on the outside as it was on the inside.“That every guard won't shut up about how they want to shove their cocks in your whorish holes for the last few days” A red haired she-wolf looked me over with disgust as she spoke and I was indeed shocked that she’d had the balls to talk back at me that easily.I felt a mix of rage an

Kai’s POV I woke up with a slight headache at exactly 5am and the first thought that hit my mind was that of what I’d discussed with Leila before I was put to sleep. It annoyed me that I’d just woken up and I still couldn't catch a fucking break before my problems returned to torment me.Still, I knew that if I didn't find a new reliable source of humanity to keep the curse from overpowering my entire being within the next four months, my problem’s status will switch from temporary to permanent and I’d be a mindless beast roaming in the wilderness whose only purpose is to kill you his fill.While I loved the fear I stirred in people’s hearts because of the bloodlust the curse came with, I didn't want that to be essence for my living so I got off the bed and as I dressed up for my training session, I already began to brainstorm for a new source of humanity to preserve the balance within me.A child? A pet? A charity project? A new pack? A generous donation? A wife? Every single thing

Cora’s POVBurn me? I can’t die at the stake because of a lousy allegation, and in such a shameful way to say the least.No.“Alpha Kai, kindly give me a little more time to ascertain if she's truly a witch because the moon goddess hasn't given me a clear indication just yet” The witch hunter pleaded with him on my behalf for some reason.“And why would I wait for that when you clearly implied that she was a witch because she heard the drums that even we who were present while you were chanting for in preparation for the trials didn't hear?” Kai was talking to him but his angry eyes were directed at me as they radiated his ruthless nature.“Because the moon goddess oversees this process and if an innocent is killed as a witch, she will lay an irreversible curse on me and the land upon which the blood of the innocent was shed” He told him in a somber voice and I could literally see the wheels turning in his head.“You have ten minutes to prove whether she's a witch or not or I’ll burn

Kai’s POV I started to stir in my sleep, over and over.It seemed like something was drawing me out of my sleep, like someone was trying to mind-link me for some reason repeatedly but the link was extremely weak. I kept stirring and trying to ignore it because I really just wanted to sleep until I heard the call for help.“H—help, I'm dy—ing…” It was Leila’s voice and I’d never heard her in so much pain before.Immediately, I jumped out of bed and ran out of the room to search for her but apparently I didn't need to go too far because I spotted her under Cora just a few inches away from my room being punched to an unrecognizable pulp.It didn't look like Leila had any fight left in her and she barely had any life either from what I could see, so I sped over to Cora’s side and flung her across the hallway until her back slammed on the wall just across my room.“Leila, Leila, are you alive?” I shook her as I took in the horrible sight that she’d become and I couldn't help but wonder ho
