Lucia's POV
The fat lady who brought me here has gone out to God knows where and I cannot escape because the eyes of the mocking other prisoners are on me.
"Thief! Look here." A voice that sounded like hers called out to me and I turned immediately.
"Where is the Cologne you stole from Alpha Delano? Bring them to me now!" She shouted at me from afar.
There was chuckling from the prisoners around. "Go girl. Your mama is calling you!" One mocked.
I became confused. I wasn't with any perfume. Maybe it was as I climbed on his bed that his perfume rubbed on my clothes, which I doubt.
I do not even know how to steal as she is portraying me right now. I stood up slowly from the ground and walked up to her.
"Madam, please I didn't take the perfume. You can come and search for me. Sincerely speaking, I didn't please." I begged…
"You lie. You did. Take me to your cell now."
She hissed and started moving forward, I followed her from behind but she turned, eyeing me with disgust, and waved her hand through the air, indicating I come in front of her.
We walked to my cell and I entered inside.
"Where are your bags and other belongings?" She questioned.
"Yeah, ma. I do not have any with me. The Alpha bought me as soon as he laid eyes on me in the Dark Moon pack. He didn't allow me to take any clothes along, commanding me to get into his carriage at once that's why."
"Hmm! So what are those clothes doing here?" She said, pointing to the cardigan I had removed from my body when Alpha Delano wanted to have his way with me.
"Oh!" I exclaimed, reaching for the clothes on the rays of the cell, and as i brought it out, a small towel fell off.
That towel is one with the Royal badge. One which only Alpha Delano and his family members possessed.
"Huh?" I gasped.
She made a smirk and picked it up immediately. "So this is very good evidence that what I was saying is true."
"No ma. Please, no ma." I knelt down, trying to beg her but she shoved me off.
"Shut that lying mouth of yours. I wonder why you think you can lie to a person like me. Do you think you can frame up a lie for me? You think so?"
"No ma. It wasn't intentional at all. I wasn't the one that put it there please." I pleaded, touching and grabbing her feet for mercy.
She kicks and shuffles my hands out of her legs, "Get those hands off me now."
I removed them quickly. Sniffing and sobbing silently.
I wish I could tell her what Alpha Delano wanted to do to me yesterday but it's embarrassing to do so. If I should let her know, she might use it against me.
And Alpha Delano would surely kill me. So I cannot. I stayed on the ground with my head lowered when a hand yanked up my ponytail, dragging me along with her.
I followed her in her steps as she kept dragging me. Then, flung me off to the ground, still in the playground where every prisoner gathered.
"Everyone look here." She announced and they turned their faces at me. The whole place became silent at once.
"I have gotten a scapegoat which I will use to show the thieves in this place a perfect example of what I will be doing to anyone who tries this nonsense again. Y'all should watch and see how this would go."
They all started clapping and jeering at her.
"Tie her up." She shouted at the guards securing the place and they came to be, dragging me closer to a rod that looked exactly like a goalkeeping post for footballers.
The post has two ropes tied in the middle with a handle. She lifted me and placed each of my hands on the handles, tying me up in them
So I stood in an upright position.
"Get me the silver lash now!"
Silver lash? Oh my God! Please take my life moon goddess, I am so tired of these unending pains and torments.
The guards brought out the lash and handed it over to her.
Immediately, she flung it to my face. The tip almost got into my eyes. I screamed in pain as it burned my cheeks.
She went to my back and started whipping it on me. My back was peeling. The bruises that I'd thought were supposed to heal up started reopening and blood was gushing out from them.
"Please, I am sorry. Please forgive me. Please" I cried as she continued whipping it on me.
The whips started increasing as she came to my front. Then, I knew she had handed it over to those angry guards.
Her smirk was obvious and evident on her face. "Please ma. I didn't do it."
"Oh! Shut that trash up. You did it. You stole. Better accept that and stop adding to my anger." She spat.
My wolf, Ani, is a very weak one, one that hasn't fully unlocked her potential so she was very weak and cannot heal me fast like the way others do.
My vision started getting blurry as the lashes kept hitting on me. My legs were weak, sprawling on the ground with my hands dropping off weakly.
"Stop!" I heard her say. The world was already spinning around my head. The sun entered deep into my eyes as I looked above.
The guards came in front of me and started loosening the ropes quickly. The first bone was off and I fell to my left-hand side weakly.
Once the second one was loosed off, I fell flat to the ground and there, I fell into thick darkness.
