Chapter 54: Threat
Hazel's pupils shrank as Roman’s face enlarged in her eyes, she held her breath and when she realized that he had loosen his guard slightly, she made her move without hesitating.
Before Roman could react, Hazel's knees shot upward, hard.
The sudden strike was enough to have Roman release her and retreat explosively, a strangled gasp escaping from his throat as he clasped his legs together, holding that part of his body like to prevent it from falling.
The pain made him break out in cold sweat as he curled forward, his back bent.
Hazel had not gone easy on that kick at all.
“Bitch, are you insane?” He finally managed to curse, his voice still low due to the pain, but undoubtedly filled with disbelief and anger.
This woman dared to hit him and in that spot to be specific.
Was she looking for death?
Because he had been lenient on her, does she think he won’t dare to do something to her?
With contorted visage, he glared at her, blaming himself for being gentle. He could have dragged her straight to his chamber or even drugged the slut.
She kept behaving like she was still some princess and yet she was a mere slave. He does not understand why she was still so high and lofty towards him when she had willingly served Damien.
Does she think that he is a kind person because he always wears a happy-go-lucky smile?
Hazel created a considerable distance between them, to ensure that he won’t be able to grab her if he ever reacted from the pain.
She glared at him, her eyes blazing.
“Try that again,” She said coldly, her tone filled with murderous intent. “and it won’t be just a kick, I will make sure I castrate you completely.”
Roman felt a chill in his lower body and when he realized that he had almost been scared by her threat, he almost laughed out loud in vexation and…perverse interest.
Hazel sure was an interesting and bold woman.
Roman was tired of spending time with women who did not have a temper and would curry his favor with any chance they got. He wanted to change tastes and Hazel suited all his preferences.
It was just that she was too proud.
But he does not mind finding time to break her and make her realize that there are some people she could not afford to offend.
After the pain subsided, he straightened slowly.
He glanced at Hazel and chuckled, “Did you get to feel the size of my member when you kicked me? How is it? Is it to your satisfaction?”
Hazel’s face flushed due to rage, her chest rose and fell as she tried to suppress her anger, but that reaction evoked another lustful glance from Roman.
To Roman, he had always gotten whatever he wanted since he was young. So whenever he wanted something, he would not bother hiding it because he knew it would be his one day.
“Do you believe that the Alpha will punish you for trespassing?” Hazel asked through gritted it.
Although she hated it, she still had to use the Alpha’s name to scare Roman off, because she finally realized that this man had no limit to his shamelessness and audacity.
She could defend against him, but for how long?
Could she send him out of the Alpha’s mansion? Does she have that much authority? No!
So, all she could do was to threaten him with the Alpha’s name.
However, contrary to her expectations, Ronan only gave a humorless laugh.
“Go ahead, report me to him.” He said and her jaw tightened.
“You think I won’t?”
“I think you will.” He replied, then clicked his tongue. “But, what will happen afterward? Who do you think he will choose? His third beta who has served beside him for years and is also the son of the second elder of the pack, or you, a mere sex slave who has no other use apart from warming his bed?”
The words hit harder than Hazel had expected, because there was no lie in what he had just said.
Her fingers curled into fist and she fell silent.
Does she even have the right to request something from Damien? He only spared her people because she was giving something in return.
What else can she give in return to make him punish Roman? Nothing.
She had nothing else and even if she does, would he choose her over his beta?
Definitely not.
Roman saw the look in Hazel's eyes and laughed happily, his good mood back.
“Hazel, you don’t have to think too much about this.” He said, taking a step forward. “If you are not comfortable with coming to my chambers, then we can do it here. Nobody will come, didn’t you feel my size earlier? If you are afraid it wouldn’t fit, I have my ways, I can give you more pleasure than Damien can ever give. I know how much you crave to be touched as a woman.”
He attempted to hold her wrist one more time, but what responded to him was a hard slap to his cheek.
Hazel might be afraid of what Roman can do, but that does not mean she would sit still and be humiliated.
The sound of the slap was crisp and Roman’s head tipped to the side. Due to the force of the slap, his lower lip broke and blood trickled down.
But instead of getting angry, a mania glint flashed in his eyes as he licked the blood at the corner of his lips.
Hazel felt goosebumps prickling her arms seeing the look in his eyes.
She could not be bothered to say any other thing to him, and turned sharply to leave, her fists still tightly clenched.
Roman watched him leave with a contorted smile at the corner of his lips.
Whatever Damien has, he derives joy in taking it away.
And Hazel had nowhere to run. She would never be able to escape from his clutches.
