Alora’s POV
"Leave us for a minute," Keira instructed the guards and with a bow of their heads, they walked away.
"Tsk! Tsk!! Tsk!!!" She clicked her tongue as she approached where I was tied up. Her fingers gently brushed my cheeks.
"Poor thing. Seeing you tied up here almost makes feel sorry for you." She gave a sympathetic look but I wasn’t fooled. She might’ve fooled everyone but not .
"Why did you do it, Keira?" I asked, my heart too heavy to convey the emotions that I was feeling at the mont. "Are you happy seeing like this?"
She wiped the fake tears off her cheeks, "Of course. You have no idea how much it took to pull off such a performance like that in front of everyone."
"I have been planning to get rid of you for a long ti and after what you saw what happened last night, I knew that I had found the perfect opportunity to take you out for good before it backfired."
"You could’ve easily asked to stay quiet." I sniveled when I felt warm tears gather around my eyes, threatening to fall. "I was your friend and you know that I would never try to hurt you in that manner."
"I could’ve taken an oath if you wanted to but you went ahead and decided to pull a stunt like this? Was everything we shared in the past nothing but a lie to you?"
"Don’t you get it? Everything we shared in the past beca nothing the mont your father conspired against my family to snatch our happiness away." She said through gritted teeth.
"Everything we shared before ans nothing to now, Alora," She declared. "I hate you now more than ever."
"Do you know how I felt after finding out that the father of my only friend plotted to kill mine?" Her eyes shone in hurt and pain.
"If our friendship ant anything to you then you would’ve said sothing but you didn’t because you wanted to benefit from it by marrying my brother."
"You know that’s not true." I cried out. "I never knew and I know that my father would have never done sothing like that?"
"You see this attitude of yours is the reason why you will always suffer Alora." She stated, "You always want to trust people and see the good in them and that is your downfall."
"What did you think?" She raised her chin at defiantly. "That if you told Ryan about having sex with a man, he would believe you over , his sister?"
"You overestimated yourself Alora and in the process, you underestimated ." She said in a cold voice.
"Your fate has already been sealed since you stepped foot into this place. I had expected Ryan to kill you off that day he killed your father but he didn’t."
"Instead, he made you a slave here and put you to serve under . Was that supposed to be my consolation for the death of my parents?" She asked but I only remained silent, not able to utter a single word.
I know that she was hurting but it still didn’t give her the right to do this to . It doesn’t give her the right to hurt intentionally.
"To make matters worse, he even had the guts to sleep with you. Why on earth would he even want to draw pleasure from a traitor’s daughter? It didn’t make any sense to at all." She sniffed, eyes turning red.
"Sleep with ?" I questioned, "You think that he slept with ? Your brother raped !" I whispered in a barely audible voice.
"Sa difference," She shrugged in a nonchalant manner. "It doesn’t change the fact that he touched you when he shouldn’t have."
"But then I wouldn’t bla him." She rambled on. "He used to love you and I knew that no matter how much hw tries to mask it, his lingering feelings would always get in the way of any punishnt that you deserved."
"And just seeing your face everyday hurts ." She confessed. "It reminded of what I lost and then I decided to get rid of you myself."
"I planned it every day since you were brought here." She said to . "And you coming to my chambers that night was the beginning of your doom. I instructed them to make you clean up my mother’s room."
"I did it in a way that you wouldn’t be able to prove your innocence even if you wanted to. I wanted him to give you the harshest punishnt that he has ever give to anyone."
"And it worked because even if he never wanted to do it, you made him do it by digging up your own grave when you decided involve ."
She smiled at . "You should’ve never called his sister a whore in front of everyone and now, you’ll get what’s coming for you."
"I will make sure that everyday, you will wish to join your parents in the afterlife." And with that, she walked away, leaving the guards to carry out my punishnt.
At that mont, I closed my eyes and surrendered myself to what was about to happen.
A stray tear fell down my cheeks when they dragged to the fields and tore my clothes open to expose my bare back.
Following Ryan’s instruction, they whipped my back, over and over again. I cried out in unmasked pain and agony but they didn’t stop till I felt my skin tear with every stroke that they gave .
They continued for hours, taking turns until I was sore and couldn’t feel my back anymore.
Out of nowhere, they forcefully made drink a liquid substance from a bottle that rendered weak to the point where I felt my whole body go lifeless as I fell to the ground.
"I don’t think she will recover anymore. She’s almost as good as dead. We have to tell the Alpha King that she gave up during her torture session."
I lay there, unable to move when I felt soone carry on their shoulders.
"There’s no need to do that." The other replied. "He said that he no longer has any use for her and that we should dispose of her lifeless body in the woods where no one would find her if she dies during the session."
"Poor girl, I almost feel sorry for her."
"Let’s go." They said in unison and transported into the wild woods, discarding like dirt before walking away.
Hours later, I found myself curled up in the cold darkness with nothing but grasses and tall trees surrounding . I gasped for breath, fighting for my life as more tears stread down my eyes.
"Help , please!" With a small voice, I called out for help but none was forthcoming.
Suddenly, the air around beca tight and i could barely breathe. I knew then that my wolf was done fighting and that she had also given up as well. With every strangled sob that cracked out of my throat, I slowly felt my life force draining away.
"If I should die..." I croaked out in a throaty breath as I said my last prayers to the moon goddess. "If I should die and ever et any of them in my next life, I promise to make them pay. I promise to avenge my death and make their lives miserable as they have made mine."
