Life is not fair, but GOD is faithful.

「️♔️」️

We were in a cell, I was tied to a wall, the feeling of familiarity cursed through me as the unwelcomed memories of the times I was in a cell hit through me, every single beating that I got, every sound of the whip as it tears my skin open, every agonizing scream that passes through my lips as the pain becomes unbearable, ah, tough times.

The chains were made up of silver – typical, it weakened my body, making me unable to shift, normally it would have completely drained a Werewolf’s energy but strangely it only drained half of mine. I cringed at the thought of knives and torturous devices that they are going to use on me.

The door of the cell squeaked as it opened, I lazily lifted my head to see two blurry images of people, I could tell that one of them was a girl and the other was a man, I blinked my eyes as I tried to make out the images, once my sight was regained I lunged at both of them as I snarled, baring my teeth at them.

The chains held me back as slowly it drained my energy; I fell back as I panted heavily.

I knew that Jace was a part of this but Lily? I am still furious at her for kissing my mate but knowing that she was a part of this too makes me want to chew her head like a dog toy.

“You fucking traitors” I growled at the both of them and they just stare up at me blankly.

“Hello to you too, Scarlett” Lily said as she gave me her smug smile, showing her true, deceiving colors.

Dimitri also entered the cell looking bored, yet his smirk was intact, as if he had won a lottery ticket or as if he won a fucking war.

“Why?” I directly asked both Jace and Lily. My eyebrows were meeting together as I try and whack my brain to come up with a reason as to why they are doing this, turning their backs against their specie.

“Why?” Lily demanded as she threw her head back and laughed maniacally.

She stared at me with pure hatred, disgust and fierceness, “You fucking stole Damien from me, I love hi-” I growled at her warningly and she growled back, she stepped forward as she slapped me hard on my right cheek.

“Don’t you dare fucking interrupt me when I am fucking talking!” I mentally rolled my eyes at her, her slap hurts like a bitch. How I wanted to pull her fake extensions.

“I love Damien, things were going well when you decided to come and fuck things up” she said as her eyes turned black as she glared at me with so much hatred, if only looks could kill, I would be buried six feet under.

“You just had to act like this innocent little bitch but you’re anything but, you took him from me, you are an unworthy bitch. So, Dimitri proposed me this plan, it’s a win-win, I will have my Damien once more” I chuckled at her naivety.

“Always so stupid” I mumbled and she graced me with a hard blow on the stomach which made me cough but smile triumphantly at her pissed off face.

“And what about you?” I asked Jace.

“He took my mate away from me” he spat angrily as he clenched both his jaw and fist.

“He would never do that!” I exclaimed, knowing that Damien isn’t like that.

“Well he did, remember that girl he slept with when you found him when you first met? That was my mate” he said sadly but also unmasked anger as he grits his teeth.

I tried to recall who that girl was, it came to me. That girl was a slut! Damien wouldn’t go for a girl who was mated, right?

“He didn’t do it purposely! Hell, he might’ve never known that she was your mate! If your mate knew she had a mate then why did she sleep with someone else? Face it Jace, she doesn’t deserve you and you don’t deserve her. You deserve more, you don’t need to change because of her” I yelled at him and for a split second I saw some regret in Jace’s eyes before it flickered off.

“Remember what they have done to you, all that pain. Don’t let her get through you Jace, she is just trying to escape” Dimitri told Jace and I glared at him, Jace nodded in agreement as he set his stoic and impassive expression.

“Now, are you ready to be my Queen or will you stay as an annoying little fuck?” Dimitri asked me as he lifted my chin with his index finger and thumb, I recoiled from his touch as I spat out,

“When hell freezes over and when the devil himself gives me a kiss on the ass” I sassed him which only ended up as me receiving a hard punch to the face.

“You are so fucking frustrating!” he yelled out as I blinked my eyes as I winced at the pain.

“Guards!” he yelled and guards entered the room and bowed to their King.

“Yes, your Majesty?” they all answered in chorus.

“Teach her a lesson, a lesson she will never forget” he said and they – Lily, Jace and the devil, left the cell.

The guards took not time as they unchained me and dragged my hair, I screamed at them to stop but they just tugged my hair tighter, my scalp felt like it was being poured with lava, it burned like hell, and at this time, it truly felt like I was in hell.

“Argh!” I screamed as they poured the cool liquid on my bloody back, but the liquid was anything but cool as it made my back burn a 100° more. They whipped my back until what it feels like my skin was totally ripped off of me, they were merciless, cruel and downright malicious, and they even laughed and enjoyed it when I screamed in pain. It felt like I was about to pass out in any minute.

“Now, will you give in?” one of the guards ask me, and every time I would answer them with the same answer.

“Go and fuck yourself since no one likes you” and that made them angrier as they forcefully made me drink Wolfs bane.

“No, no, no!” they gripped my chin as one of them pulled down my lower jaw as one of them poured the burning drink inside my mouth, I ended up coughing up but it was hard when someone was forbidding you to use your lower jaw.

“Now will you fucking give in?” they asked once more.

I laid my head back on the bloody table, feeling exhausted, numb, my body is on fire, I couldn’t properly talk, see and move. I felt dead yet I was breathing, in a ragged, uneven way.

“Never, motherfuckers” I said in a low, fading voice.

“She is stubborn as a hard fuck” someone muttered and all of them grunted in response, I almost smiled but was too tired.

“Let’s just kill her, was just wondering how boss put up with her”

“No one is fucking killing her, I will fucking kill you before you do so” ah, my knight in shining bullshit just arrived.

“I apologize, your Majesty”

“I can just kill you right now, but I won’t. I need more men on this upcoming fight, Damien must have come to realize that I am the one who stole his precious little, annoying Queen”

Then he came closer to me, “Now, do you surrender?”

“She is stubborn as fuck-” before the guard could finish his sentence, Dimitri came up at him as he pulled out his heart and ate it, I stared at the dead guard who was lying on the ground, lifeless. I was speechless, I wanted to through up. Is this the beast, the monster, the devil that they are talking about?

“Anyone else that would want to comment about your future Queen?” he asked with blood still dripping from his chin and I felt my mouth water as vomit threatens to come out and all the guards shook their heads furiously as they all shake in fear.

“Good, now Scarlett, why are you being so stubborn?” he asked me casually as if he didn’t just kill a man and ate his heart out. I was still staring at him shell shocked, disgust and mortification present in my face.

“I-I-I-I…” I stammered out as fear began to eat me alive, how could I even speak to a man who just killed a man in front of me and ate his heart? What insane person would do that vile thing? My heart was pounding furiously in my chest, begging to get out. Dimitri merely just let out a sinister laugh as he watches my fear filled expression.

“Don’t be scared, Love” but who wouldn’t be? His hands were dripping with blood, tears of skin was present on his clothing and blood was spilling out of the guard’s dead body.

“How can I not be scared?! You just killed and ate a man’s heart! Oh my Goddess! That was the most-”

“Amazing thing that you have ever seen? I am honored, Love” he smirked at me and I looked up at him with shock.

“That was the most sickening, menacing and perilous thing that I have ever seen!” I yelled out, my whole body was now shaking, not from the coldness of the room but out of fear, fear for this man.

“Whatever, now will you agree to be my Queen now?” he asked again.

“Never” I muttered back adamantly, not one to back out.

“Fine” he yelled out frustrated.

“Fine?” I questioned.

“You will let me go?” I asked hopingly.

“I said, fine. You leave me with no choice, either you stay like a stubborn little bitch or agree to be my Queen. If you don’t, I will not hesitate to kill Damien” he smirked at me victoriously.

“Please no! Anything but that! I will do it! I will be your Queen, just do not hurt him, please” I said as my voice cracked, tears fell from my eyes. I will let him corrupt me, but I will not just stay idly while he kills the love of my life.
