Chapter 32 I hate you, Kael
Lyra
"Wait... Did I hear you call my name?" he asked, and the guard paused to listen to what he had to say.
"I'm sorry, I didn't mean to. Please," I pleaded through the mind link, but he cut me off without giving a response.
"You keep growing wings as the day goes by. First, you stole from the future Luna..." he paused. I know he's emphasizing the future Luna to make me feel bad, but I don't give a fuck about him anymore. He should go and die...
His eyes darkened as he glared at me; it was then that the realization dawned on me. He could hear my inner thoughts... then why can't he hear hers? I know he just intentionally preys on me; he could hear her but wouldn't dare prey on her without permission. I'm the only one he treats like trash... wow!
"You called my name and insulted me... You deserve to die for cursing at me... but I'll pity you because you already have a lot on your plate... but... you'll be getting an additional 25 for calling my name and cursing at me..." Wait, that's 80? I might die... I saw him chuckle, preying into my head again... I quickly shut him up, and I saw his smile vanish. The fact that I let him into my head doesn't mean I can't prevent him from getting in.
The guard didn't wait for him to finish before he began whipping me.
By the time I received the 10th, I was nearly losing it.
The sheer pain I was going through, I tried to imagine how I was going to move myself.
Being an omega was one of the worst ways to be trapped in a loop like this, in the midst of punishment I have made another mistake that I can't afford to handle.
As the whip cracked on my back, I imagined if there was a way for me to leave the place without getting them to kill me.
“Please my Lord, I beg of you…”
The whip broke my words and I was in pain trying to process the next thing I would say.
“I didn't steal anything…”
“Silence!” he roared.
It was then that I realized there wasn't going to be a way for me to get out.
“You think pleading with me would change anything? I am not going to let you walk away and I am not going to stand here and watch you make a fool of us.”
Yet again I had the urge to curse him, looking up I could see the hate in his eyes and my stomach turned from just looking at him.
It was something I couldn't put together and there wasn't going to be a way for me to handle this pain.
As the whip landed on my back, I couldn't control my head, almost like my mind was going foggy and I couldn't even handle it.
Please…
The words couldn't come clear, I was holding up my head trying to see that there was no remorse in his eyes and I knew what was going to happen.
His hate for me didn't know any bounds and from what I felt he was going to make sure I told him where the stolen jewelry was.
“Please, let me…”
I didn't see anything else, everywhere went dark as the whip connected to my back again. I could faintly hear their voices as I tried to pull my head together.
“My Lord, I think she has fainted!”
I heard the guards speak up, trying to see if he could shake me awake but there wasn't a response from me.
I didn't know what was going on but I could tell that for one they had stopped the torture.
Kael stood close to me, I could feel his presence and how he was looking at me, his gaze was sharp on my body I couldn't hide it.
“Call the physician, he will have a look at her and there will be something done about it. Not only is she a thief but she is awake. I expected her to show more grit but there isn't a thing about her that would even make me want to deal with this incompetence.”
He turned and his steps faded into the distance as he left me with the guards and I knew that the next thing was going to be him taking me to be treated so he would be able to get back on with the torture.
I felt my body being lifted out of the dungeon, and they took me somewhere else it was soft…
The air reeked of strong herbs and mixtures used for the warriors.
“Aii, she's the one who stole from the Lord?”
“Yes, Lord Kael wants you to make sure that she gets the treatment.”
“I will take care of it and make sure she is in top shape, her body looks frail. I wonder why she would even think of doing something that would make them come for her. Almost like she was praying for her death,”
Frail, thief, weak….
All these words just because of my fate, I wonder if life had treated me differently if I would be called any of these things but from what I am seeing here there isn't going to be a way for me to even stand in front of them.
“I didn't do it…”
The physician paused, and I felt him staring at me as he shook his head.
“Poor pup,” he muttered, his gaze still on me. “Her body might still think she is still being tortured. I don't know how one is cursed but there has to be something to help you get some rest.”
Ahh, he got the word I was looking for.
Cursed.
I wasn't among the moon goddess's favorites but now I am also called cursed apparently.
I felt the Physician’s hand on my wrist as I felt a sharp pain.
“This should get you some rest, by the time you're up. You should be good to go.”
With my last ounce of strength, I managed to mutter the sentence.
“I hate you…Kael.”
