Lucia's pov
The tree was a cool place, I sat under it. From the angle I stayed in, you could actually see the stream from afar.
I lay my head on it and started mesmerizing in thoughts.
I didn't know when I slept off on the ground.
I woke up with my body squeezed up together, the cold from the stream and the stream made my body react to it at night.
As I awoke, I stretched my body from side to side. Bending my hands to my back and forward. My hands unknowingly touched my back, the same spot where the wounds used to be present but I felt no pain.
This was strange.
I paused in my acrobatics and tried putting my hands back there, touching it. But there were no pain feelings in it. The friction feelings that I had there were no more.
I was startled.
What happened? My wolf haven't gotten to the stage of healing my wounds so rapidly, especially after these beatings I had received from the pack's prison yesterday.
Besides, who does Alpha Delano think he is?
What happened the day I came here was for what? I haven't even gotten the time to analyze my thoughts very well.
I was yearning for his member inside of me. I do not know how a handsome beast could be a cursed one too.
When he came close to me that day, I felt scared a bit but as he asked me to bend, My God! I was excited a bit and nervous at the same time.
But he didn't put that big stick into my little cunt after all my anticipation. He didn't.
I am still wondering why he did not. Was it because of the bruises he saw on my back? Maybe that's why, maybe not.
But I still cannot deny the fact that he was handsome with broad shoulders, a chiseled jaw, a pointed nose, and hazel eyes. Urghhh!
I stood, relaxing on the tree, lost in my thoughts, when I got reminded quickly.
Madam Betty and her role call.
Oh my God!
Immediately, I picked up my heels and started racing back to the palace. I am finished. Madam Betty would surely eat me up today.
I ran through the trees, the branches scratching and poking on my back but I didn't care till I came out and got to the front of the palace.
There, I tried calming myself down, my lungs were already dried out, and my heart thumping loudly, wanting to explode out of my chest. Sweat had already soaked my clothes, almost dripping out from them.
A few minutes later, my body started returning to its normal state. I wiped off the sweat and started moving onto the palace, passing through the gates to the other side of the building, I paused in my tracks after a familiar deep voice called me.
"Lucia!"
I turned around to see who it was but was surprised to not see anyone around. I waited for some seconds if the voice would call out again but it didn't.
Deciding not to care about it again, I set foot to walk away when the same voice blared out again, now closer to me.
"Don't you dare move an inch!"
I turned around again and saw if I could get the fellow, and behold, my anxiety and pain came forth.
Alpha Delano.
"Where are you coming from?" He thundered, moving closer to me.
"I went to clear my head outside," I say, lowering my head as he approached me.
I could feel his lecherous eyes scanning through my clothes, sizing me up. He stares at me for some time, before clearing his throat.
"How long have you been there?"
My God! Does he have to know this? Does he?
"I just went to clear my head and it was just last night till this morning," I said, eyeing him as he stood looking at me with a dirty lusty smirk.
He came closer to me, maintaining his eyes gaze at me, and then he waved his hand through the air, indicating for me to leave.
I left him with a disgusting look on my face and got into the slave quarters. Some slaves were moving around while some were busy working.
I snailed into it, into the main Hall where the slaves stay. My eyes narrowed deep into it, searching for her but she wasn't there.
I turned around to scan the whole environment if she was in any way hiding from me and there, my eyes darted to a secluded spot and met with hers.
She had apparently been watching me from afar, right from when I passed through the gate to this point.
I am finished.
"You know what to do." Her loud voice echoed through the roof.
My shoulders slumped down in regret and I headed to meet her, she was sitting on a chair, supervising a group of slave girls in their punishment.
"I said you should sit very well and raise your hands properly." She said, whipping a long metallic wire on her.
She whined in pain. Her eyes reddened and her legs trembled profusely. Sweats were already dripping from her body to the ground.
I walked slowly passed her to Madam Betty. Madam Betty stood up and was about to throw a slap on my cheek when a guard came to meet her.
"Madam! Madam! Please wait." He said, panting.
"What's it this time?" She questioned him with an angered glance.
"It's Alpha Delano."
Huh? Alpha Delano?
"What about Alpha Delano?" She asks, raising a frightened and shocked brows at him.
"He asked me to bring Lucia to him now!!!"
"Huh!" I gasped.
