“All that act on our wedding, I see through it now. You purposely trying to get attention today, I see all of it and it ends today. You’ve always been scheming and scheming.”
No.
That’s not true.
Its not!
Why is he not believing me at all?
The sheer hatred dripping off his tongue was like lashes as it hit my skin like stones.
“If I knew you were such a disgusting person like the rest of your pack members, I certainly wouldn’t have wedded you even if it’s a fake marriage. Cause now I can’t dissolve it yet, I still have to show up in public if need be.”
He barked, his hold around my throat tightening with each word.
I whimpered in fear, praying he dosent snap my throat right now.
His mouth was twisted in fury, his eyes used and his nose flaring as he leaned down, the gap between us almost completely closed began to speak again.
“You know just what you deserve now? To be treated like the trash you actually are. Which is why, I’ve decided to bring those your false claims earlier today to live. You claimed violet forced you into acting like a maid and all— something she’d never do, mind you, so now, I’m gonna make you be a slave for real.”
My eyes widened, terror catching in my throat as he continued.
“Only that you wouldn’t be working in the palace open. After all, everyone still needs to believe we’re married and that you’re my luna. However, my harem is secleduded from the main palace and that seems like where you’ll fit right in… as their slave.”
He suddenly let go of me, his face twisted in disgust like he just touched trash.
My mind was whirling hard, unable to believe what he just said.
“That’s what serves you right. It’s what you deserve for having enabled the system that landed most of those women in the predicaments they once found themselves in. While they live like princesses now, You’ll clean up after them and do it without complaining if you love your useless life and want to survive.”
He turned around and stormed off after that, leaving me panting hard and unable to believe all that just happened.
How did I go from being punished for something I didn’t do, to passing out and waking up, and then getting punished again for something I had no idea of in my entire life.
What kind of unfortunate life is this?
Back home, father claimed because I brought too much shame to the family, I needed to earn my keep one way or the other, and then I began working in the slaves department.
I wasn’t allowed to move past the first floor there so I don’t actually know what goes down there.
She was a captive slave but I managed to use the money i earned there to set her free.
Instead of leaving, she chose to stick by my side and follow me wherever i go.
Thinking about her right now was making my eyes start to sting hard.
Why would the king think that I’d ever be heartless to do all that he accused me of?
The door opened again and a terrified sound caught in my throat, having assumed it was the king agsin.
But it ended up being Madame anabel.
Her lips were pursed as she watched me, a sharp look of disapproval and something that resembled anger on her face as she spoke.
“I just heard what you’ve been doing in your pack. And here I was starting to feel a little pity for you.”
I let out a long sigh, my eyes falling close in frustration.
Fucking hell.
“I’ve come to escort you to your new home.” Violet’s voice was sugary sweet as she spoke, standing at the door of the ward.
Her purple dress made her look like a runway model right now and she looked downright stunning, making me wonder how it’s possible that someone this stunning can be this vile.
“You didn’t have to.” I snapped sharply, my voice biting as I pushed off the bed, grabbing the hem of my dress.
She let out a high pitched laugh, clutching at her imaginary pearls.
“You’re still feeling snarky?” She drawled, sighing loudly.
“You just wait, you’ll see what’s in store for you in your new home.
We’ll see how you’ll be able to keep this attitude up over there.
I let out a loud scoff, scowling at her.
“What are you gonna do aside starve me to the point of death is I refuse to work? You’ve shown me that already.”
She flashed me a dark grin, one that promised so much suffering.
“We’ll see. Come along now, I don’t have all day.”
I gritted my teeth, anger swirling in my stomach as I fell into step after her.
I don’t know what made him so convinced but whenever I see him, I’m gonna tell him that I really have no hand in what he was accusing me off.
Weather he believed me or not was left to him, and if he chose to punish me again because of that… well, I don’t even care anymore.
My knees are still hurt from me kneeling on some hot fucking iron, and I guess I should probably remain docile and try not to get on violet’s nerves after all that I just want through today and the day still wasn’t over yet, but I guess I was just so mad, so frustrated and so drained.
Since I woke up to my hair being snipped off, to this very moment, I haven’t done anything to deserve it.
Bit yet I’ve suffered so much.
So fuck keeping quiet to avoid being punished.
What more can violet throw at me?
Unless she wants to kill me and at this point, I would happily welcome it.
I don’t care about surviving anymore.
I mean, what am I even living for?
I have no identity, no purpose and no future.
My eyes landed on violet, and we were being tailed by a her guards.
I wonder what the king’s harem looked like.
When he revealed that the women in his harem are living like princesses, did he meant that he fucks them however he wanted, and then let them remain alive there?
Have he killed off some of them after fucking them?
There’s some rumors out there that he did just that and I never put it past him cause he’s a fucking monster.
I had no idea any of those women sent to him every three years are still gonna be alive, not to talk of being kept in a harem together.
Living like fucking princesses.
If what the king said was true about my pack slave’s department turning those women into sex slaves for different purposes, that means I’ll be able to recognize some of the women there back from the slave department.
And if that happens, I might just be an enabler and a monster this whole time without ever realizing it.
