Chapter 19 Chapter 18
Evelyn.
The council room was grand and imposing, a place where decisions held immense power. But on this day, it turned into a chamber of dread, a place where cruelty reigned supreme.
I stood in the middle, trapped within an ornate golden cage. It felt like a symbol of my servitude and humiliation. The Alpha kings and council members surrounded me, their eyes fixed on me, cold and malicious.
I kept my gaze firmly fixed on the floor, unable to meet their eyes. Tears welled in my own, blurring my vision, but I refused to let them fall. I would not give them the satisfaction of seeing my weakness.
The gilded cage pressed against my skin, a constant reminder of my captivity. The room felt suffocating, heavy with the anticipation of what was to come.
I could hear their hushed whispers, filled with malice. They spoke of me like I was an object, a pawn in their games. Their laughter, cruel and heartless, echoed around me.
"Good day, Alpha kings of various territories!" A voice boomed, startling me. "This time is the moment where we feast our eyes on this delectable woman that is gracing us with her presence today. Do we all like what we see?" He asked, his voice shining with excitement.
Various shouts of excitement thundered through the council room and I pressed my eyes tightly shut, unable to believe the terror coursing through my veins.
"I am glad. But before we proceed we further, let us give her a chance to entertain us." The voice continued and I snapped my head, glancing around. "Let us have some music please!!!" The voice rang out and I froze in dread. What the...!?
Then, the music began—a haunting melody that signaled my torment. I had never learned to dance, and my movements were clumsy. I stumbled and faltered, but it seemed they were more interested in my humiliation than my dancing skills. Closing my eyes, I desperately tried to detach myself away from this place, focusing on my survival but it was almost impossible.
Whatever made me think I would survive this? I can't. We've barely even started and I already felt like dying. I caught a glimpse of Alpha King Kieran just sitting, staring ardently at me. Unlike the others who were obviously enjoying making fun of me, his eyes and face was blank and he seemed distracted, a far away look on his face. Still, it was obvious he had no intention of helping me here.
The music felt like it went on forever, my body ached, and I longed for an escape from this nightmare. Finally it stopped and cheers and jubilation rang out, all signs of my imminent humiliation. I couldn't hold in the sobs anymore. One soldier approached the cage and opened it, pulling me out of it as he applied a leash on me, leading me to the Alpha kings tables that had already been cleared from all scrolls as they awaited my arrival. I wanted to run away, but where would I go?
Placing me in front of one, the soldier placed my leash on his hands and walked away. Without any warning, the Alpha king pulled me with the leash, causing me to stumble forward, landing face first on his table. Laughter broke out of his lips and pulled me to the table like I weighed nothing. I whimpered, suddenly reminded of how powerful Alpha kings were, and I knew I wouldn't be spared from anything.
One by one, members of the council approached me, their eyes filled with malicious intent. They reached through my clothes, tearing it open as they made me bare for their lustful gazes, their fingers brushing against my skin, leaving a trail of revulsion in their wake.
"Oh... She's so soft!" One voice commented as he grabbed my breast, twisting the nipple till I shrieked. "I'm going to enjoy marking this one!" He said to the other who was busy pulling my hair, turning me to face him.
I didn't know how many hands were on me, each going whatever feature on my body to use to their pleasure. I tried to shake them off, but all it took was a tug of the collar on my neck and one hit on my backside to cause all my defenses to crumble like dust and my face to the table as I weeped uncontrollably.
One by one, council members approached the cage, their intentions clear. They subjected me to incomprehensible acts, each one more degrading than the last. They laughed and jeered, and I felt my cheeks burn with shame.
One got on the table, putting his weight on top of me, as he grabbed me by the waist, pushing my legs open. My eyes flew open and I screamed, trashing around, desperate to get away from him, from everyone, from all of this!
"Stay put!" He sneered into my eyes and I could already feel his hardened erection on my backside. I couldn't stop, I can't! If they got through with this, I wouldn't survive!
I couldn't take it any longer.
Desperation clawed at me, and I looked toward Alpha King Keiran, my silent plea for help. My wolf, alya, who had been dormant for months, stirred within me, calling out for the first time in what felt like an eternity.
Help us! She screamed and did the impossible. She mind-linked with him, sharing to him the horrors I was going through at the moment.
For a moment, I saw his eyes widen in shock, but before I could understand his intentions or reach out to him with my mind, my captors got busy, spreading my legs open and begining to work themselves into me. Overwhelming despair washed over me and I felt myself getting faint.
I tumbled to the table, beneath their hands and grips, the world spinning around me. From pure panic and the weight of my humiliation, I passed out in their hands.
The last thing I heard before darkness claimed me was the echoing laughter of the council, a chilling symphony that marked the depths of my despair.
