Alora’s POV
"Wake up slave, Alpha Ryan has given us orders to let you go," I heard the guard’s impending voice pierce through my dark brooding world followed by the clanking of keys as they tried to open my dungeon.
Ever since Ryan did that to , I have not moved from my position. I didn’t even know that the days had gone by and that the two days he had instructed them to lock up for had expired.
I think it’s safe to say that I have given up living at this point.
Many guards have trooped into my dungeon before now to serve food and water but I haven’t eaten anything. They always ca back to et the food the exact sa way that they had left it.
Sotis, they get pissed and smack but other tis, they are too busy to care. I have co to accept the harsh reality of my fate.
Ryan did not only break physically but sohow, he had managed to break emotionally and ntally as well. I don’t know if I’ll ever be able to get through this.
As far as I’m concerned, my life ended two nights ago when he raped and I don’t think that I’ll ever recover from it.
"Didn’t you hear what I just said?" The guard spoke up again as he approached where I was seated a corner, my head resting on the hard wall, my legs pressed against my chest and my eyes staring into nothingness.
He yanked up from my sitting position but I only fell back to the rough ground. I was too weak to fight or complain because I haven’t had food or water to drink.
My frail body had taken enough. It has endured to the point where it has been stretched thin so fighting back is not an option in this condition.
"You really think you’re sothing huh?" He scoffed in disdain as he kicked on my stomach. I groaned in pain, my voice too tired to shout or cry out.
I suffered a bruise due to the fall but I didn’t even notice that I did. Whatever I was going through at the mont was far painful and hurt more than whatever physical wound I might experience.
"Let’s go," They pushed forward after I managed to stand up to my feet for the second ti.
My whole body cried in protest but I had to ignore. It felt like I was walking on thin ice and I might break or shut down any minute from now.
Taking one step forward before the other, I could already feel my legs getting wobbly as I limped towards the exit. My insides breaking apart with each dragged step but I refuse to shed a single tear.
Crying will not solve anything and I have sadly co to realize that now.
It didn’t stop my parents from getting killed neither did it stop Ryan for raping like an animal.
If anything, it only makes things worse because they consider you weak and trample all over you so no matter how painful it will be from now henceforth, I will try my best not to fall apart until I join my parents in the after life.
"With ti, your wounds will get better, Alora," My wolf, Nyx spoke softly from inside .
We had bonded over our misery the past two days.
She was the sole reason why I am still alive and breathing. No slave would’ve survived sothing as horrible as that for the first ti without passing out cold in death.
After Ryan had finished that night, she managed to heal so of my wounds and that was the only reason I’m still breathing and not dead yet.
Sotis, I wonder if things would’ve been different if my parents were alive or if Ryan had given my father a chance to prove his innocence.
Maybe by now, my birthday would’ve been celebrated with a huge feast, my father would’ve thrown a party to celebrate having my wolf and I would’ve been married off to Ryan but life didn’t go as plan.
As much as it pains , I am grateful that I didn’t end up with him. I can only imagine how bad our marriage would’ve turned out. If our love didn’t matter to him now, why would it matter in the future?
"I can’t believe that the Alpha King has gotten a taste of that succulent ass before ," I heard one of the guards that escorted out of the prison complain to his partner.
They were talking about as if I wasn’t in front of them. As if I was non existent.
"Serves her right," The other one hissed, "Maybe if she had let us have our way with her then, it would’ve been less horrible than what she went through in the hands of the Alpha King."
"Poor girl was screaming all night while begging for rcy," He mocked and I tightened my fists beside . "Tell , did you enjoy it, traitor’s daughter?"
"Maybe she thinks that she’s still a girl with status," The first one mocked and they both burst out laughing while I tried my best to ignore them.
Their words touched a muscle but I’ve heard and experienced worse so I am no longer moved.
"She thinks she’s still the Beta’s daughter living in her mansion. I guess she was thinking that her first ti will be like a fairytale, all roses and sunshine."
"She had no idea that she would be fucked from the dungeon like a whore," They insulted further, laughing at their statent and judging my character.
I felt disgusted with myself. The pain that I was trying to hide, slowly began to resurface again. Not only was I abused but I have been used and thrown away like trash. Like I didn’t an anything.
Tears gathered in my eyes but I wouldn’t let them fall.
We arrived at the entrance of the palace and I saw Ryan standing there like he was waiting for .
His lips were stretched out in a smile and I felt like ripping it off his face with my bare hands.
I cannot believe that I used to love this man with everything I had. I can’t believe that there was once a ti that I thought that I would be his wife and Luna.
That we would get married happily and that I would bear his children. I must’ve been on opium then cause now I know that such fantasies and fairy tales do not exist anymore. They were nothing but a sham.
Now, all I feel for this man is hatred. Just staring at him has the embers of my heart burning. If I had the chance to strangle him to death then I would. That’s how much I hated him now.
"What took you so long, my dear?" He reached out to caress my cheeks with his fingers but I didn’t stop him. I don’t have any more strength in left to fight.
He was so good at pretending. Acting like he wouldn’t hurt when he had already done worse than that.
"Our apologies, Alpha King." They replied, their heads bowed down. "She had refused to comply with us and that’s why we took too much ti." They lied but who cares?
"You may leave," Ryan dismissed them and they left almost imdiately, leaving with him and the chief maid that stood at his corner.
"I am going to ignore what they reported to because you have suffered enough punishnt already," He inford and I almost laughed at his words.
Suffered enough? Was he actually acknowledging the fact that he had ruined ? I never thought that I’d live to see this day.
"But next ti," In a swift move, he grabbed my chin, "If you do that next ti Alora, I’ll make sure that your punishnt will be so severe that you’ll ask for nothing but death when I’m done with you."
"You are no longer in your father’s house Alora," He reminded with a grin, "You’re no longer a girl of status. You’re nothing but a slave in my domain. I rule over you and being stubborn is not going to help your cause. It’ll only make things more difficult for you and I’m sure that you don’t want that."
He jerked my chin roughly and I staggered a few paces back to keep my balance so that I don’t stumble and fall.
"If only you behaved like I told you, you would’ve ended up in my harem as one of my consorts but you blew it." He eyed with disgust as he sized up from head to toe.
His voice grating on my nerves but I choose to ignore it.
"You look filthy and you stink as well," He blurted out before facing the chief maid. "Get her cleaned up and assign her to work with the other maids after she has been fed."
"Yes, Alpha King," The chief maid bowed her head in submission.
Ryan took one last look at before walking away and just then, I felt the tears that I had been struggling to keep at bay, trickle down my cheeks.
I wish that all these suffering will co to an end because I am honestly too tired to carry on living anymore.
