Chapter 16 I took a deep breath and pushed the door open and at the same time, I locked that memory away. I couldn’t let Karl notice a difference in the way I acted. I still needed him before Lizzie awoke. As the door creaked open, I looked inside, the
Chapter 15 It was as if my lack of reaction was a blow to his ego. His actions with Innocent became violent. He moved faster and rougher to the point that Innocent, who seemed to be enjoying the intercourse couldn’t take it anymore and began crying as she begged him
Chapter 14 Since I was no longer working in the kitchen, I headed straight into the pack house and began wiping all the surfaces. By the time the people who call themselves early rises woke up to go for training before breakfast, I had already cleaned the living room and
Chapter 13 I turned to the others around me and found them still evading their eyes. It was obvious that I had not imagined that scene. I had indeed been confronted by Valerie and when I looked into her eyes, I was so terrified that I didn’t dare to utter
Chapter 12 There were a few pack members sitting around the living room watching television and eating popcorn and other snacks. They had thrown garbage in every spot one could see and others you would have to search with a light to find. Yet you couldn’t not find them. I
Chapter 11 How could she pair me, an alpha with someone who couldn’t even be taken out in public? I wasn’t even willing to let others know about our bond. It was humiliating and demeaning for my status. I wanted someone who could arouse me the way Innocent did. Thinking
Chapter 10 It was a pain that even if I banged my head on the wall to divert it, it would not lessen. Instead, as time went by, it got worse. In the end, I couldn’t endure it anymore and passed out. I didn’t know how long had passed before
Chapter 9 As long as she remained in the pack, her presence could provide me with strength. If I managed to mate with her, I could even absorb her essence and strengthen myself. I will become the most powerful young alpha in the region. I had turned and left the
Chapter 8 “Valerie, even though I was the one who gave you the plate of pasta, talking to an elder like that is disrespectful and will not be tolerated. Once you are done with your duties, go to the dungeon and receive ten lashes.” Mike spoke with the finality of
Chapter 7 “I don’t know what happened. I have been experiencing pain all over my body. I wanted to go and ask for pain killers but haven’t had the time yet.” I emphasized and exaggerated the condition of my body to get Karl to stop insisting on going to watch
Chapter 6 His words replayed in my head over and over again. She is still useful. Useful. Like a tool. I kept wiping every spot over and over again until my arms trembled from fatigue. “If lunch is late even by a minute, you will have to answer to the
Chapter 5 “She’s always been like that. Lazy, too.” Innocent said through clenched teeth with that sickly sweet voice of hers that contrasted with her voluptuous body. Mike hummed, noncommittal. “Is that so p> I felt my wolf stir faintly then. There wasn’t anger or words, just a slight ripple
Chapter 4 Because of the heavy workload in the kitchen, there were other workers who helped around. However, they were different from me. I was a slave who worked for nothing and even ate the leftovers from others. The other workers got paid and their food was decent. The same
Chapter 3 If I still couldn’t tell who the two men were talking about then I would have lived the last eighteen years in vain. “Why? Her virginity is probably the only valuable thing she has. If I can’t get it, why should I even bother to touch her?” Karl
Chapter 2 The conversation going on inside the brightly lit room broke me in a way nobody would be able to mend. One of the voices belonged to my long-term tormenter, Mike, the alpha’s only son who was meant to take over his father’s office in a few days when
Chapter 1 Valerie POV I began feeling uncomfortable just as I lay down to sleep. I didn’t know what was wrong and was afraid of going to the hospital as the doctors there were the same as everyone else in the pack. At most, they would give a few painkillers
Chapter 31 Dahlia’s POV “This… this is the mountain itself. It’s tired of being mined. It’s tired of being a battery. It wants to be a god again p> The room went cold. The radiator clanked in the corner, but the chill didn’t come from the air. It came from
Chapter 30 Nate’s POV Axel stopped at the porch steps and looked back at us. The playful light in his eyes dimmed, replaced by that ancient, heavy stare he’d had since he was a toddler. I was surprised that he laughed so heartily seconds ago. He didn’t do that so
Chapter 29 Nate’s POV The ’sir’ cut deeper than any silver blade ever had. He didn’t know me. To him, I wasn’t the Alpha who had leveled a mountain to save him. I wasn’t the father who had held him through the rot. I was just a wanderer in a
Chapter 28 Dahlia’s POV The silence in the Great Chamber was heavier than the stone above us. It wasn’t just the absence of screaming and blue fire; it was the death of an entire way of life. I held Axel against my chest, feeling his heart beat. It was steady,
