Brielle
I groaned and opened my eyes, looking at the head healer, who made sure that my b*dy
looked similar to what I had before I came here and was
sitting beside me with a bowl in her hand. I had no idea what damage this punishment did to my b*dy, except that I was feeling extremely weak.
I was awake when I was taken
out of the dungeon, and
everyone started giving me this VIP treatment, but I couldn’t understand the reason
1/18
behind it.
“Lady Brielle, you need to drink this,” she said softly.
I doubted that I was capable of even lifting my hand. All I wanted to do was sleep, but I didn’t want to sleep and never
wake up.
So, with the help of other omegas, they made me sit on the bed before the head healer started feeding me whatever medicine or food it was. It
didn’t have a great taste, but I could feel my energy returning to my b*dy after having it.
After that, I was taken to my bedroom so that I could sleep peacefully. Rory helped me
2/18
settle on the bed and wanted to
stay with me, but I asked to leave before I doubted that I would wake up in the middle of the night after not being able to sleep for five nights.
But I was so wrong about this thought. Because of the
moment, a hand wrapped
around my waist. I took out my dagger from under the pillow, ready to kill the person who touched me.
But a hand grabbed my dagger tightly. Within a few seconds, blood started oozing out of his palm, but ignoring that, we stared at each other.
He snatched my dagger from
3/18
me and looked at me with
amusement.
“No one has the power to make me bleed and stay alive to say that,” he muttered, licking the blood from my dagger with his long, dark pink tongue.
I must admit that his tongue was too good at licking. Either it was my dagger or my clitoral.
I wanted to argue with him for not telling me who he was.
I wanted to ask him why he was here.
I wanted to kick him out of my
room.
I wanted to reject him.

sleep and get my energy back. Immediately, his eyes
softened, and, placing the dagger aside, he pulled me into his arms. I tried to resist when he whispered.
“I know you’re a fighter, Goddess Brielle, but fighting with someone on your own team isn’t good.”
I hated how good I was feeling in his arms. I hated how his voice was the only lullaby that I wanted to hear. I hated how much I liked it.
I didn’t realise when I ended up falling asleep again until I felt someone sl*pping his warm
5/18
Chapter 10
tongue inside my mouth. Before I knew it, he k*ssed me
like he was drowning and I was his air.
I pushed him away and glared at him. “We should reject each other.”
“Weren’t you the one who convinced me that we should keep our mate’s bond secret and not reject each other? Now that I’m fully convinced, you’ve got to take
responsibility for
everything.“My jaw dropped at his words. How easily he was blaming me for everything.
“At that time, I didn’t know you were Alpha Tristan’s younger
6/18
brother.”
“Started getting cold feet already, Pink?” He asked, and I realised that I was wearing a pink–coloured night suit. What was his problem? He kept changing my nickname with the colour of my clothes. What would he call me if I were wearing nothing?
I shook my head, realising that I was getting distracted from the point.
“Yes,” I admitted, like a coward. Not because I didn’t want him, but because of who he was. “After knowing who you are and the fact that I’m your brother’s fiancee, this will
7/18
make things complicated. This is sin,” I said, and I found him glaring at me.
Even though he was glaring. I was getting turned on.
“I didn’t mind the Moon Goddess pairing me with a half–breed, but I hated being mated to a coward.” Tears welled in my eyes at his bitter words. I waited for him to
reject me because, just like he mentioned, I was a coward to reject him first, but instead, his hand sn*ked behind my n*eck and forced me to look at him. “If this is sin, then you’re worth every sin.” He spoke with determination. He was furious, but his voice came out calm. In
8/18
Chapter 10
the next second, I watched
him leave my room from the window.
I took a deep breath and realised that I was feeling
normal, as if I had never received the punishment.
Along with that, I felt that I had the best sleep of my life after
years.
I, too, left the bed to make sure that no one could sense his presence in my room. And I cleaned my dagger with my tongue to wipe his dry saliva. Closing my eyes, I imagined his l*ps licking my vertical l*ps.
f**k!
After an hour, Rory walked
9/18
inside my room with juice in her hand and saw me
practicing with the sword. Well, I had packed my
weapons in my luggage; after
all, they were the jewellery of a
warrior.
“Woah!” She exclaimed.
“Good morning, Rory!” I said it with a wink.
“Go. Good morning, Bri!” She sluttered. Keeping my sword aside, I reached near her and drank the juice that she brought. I asked her to keep my sword in my wardrobe by covering it with its cloth. She updated me with everything that I missed. From the Lycan

King announcing my punishment and how I was treated like the royal princess that I was because my step- sister was arriving today along with my personal omega from my previous pack
Along with that, she also told me how the news of this
incident wasn’t known to most
people. Using the power,
everyone was ordered to keep their mouths shut, including her.
By the time she was done telling me everything, I was already ready to join everyone at the breakfast table.
But out of nowhere, my so-
11/18
called fiancee decided to visit me. “Rory, you can leave,” he ordered her. Bowing her head, she silently left.
I already knew why he was here. To warn me to keep my
mouth shut.
“How’re you?” he asked.
“Alive,” I responded curtly.
“Behave, Brielle.” He warned.
“Or what? You will punish me again.” I mocked him. “Go ahead; I’m not scared of speaking the truth.”
“In that case, didn’t Rory tell you it wasn’t me behind the
punishment?”

“All I know is that you were involved in this either directly or indirectly.” Even if it was his younger brother’s decision. I knew that the bond between the brothers was strong, and the King wouldn’t have listened to his older brother.
“Too bad, you didn’t learn anything.” he said, not minding showing himself on the
positive side anymore. I was glad that he was behaving like he was. He reached near me and wrapped his arms around my waist, signalling for me to leave. “What did you think that I would let you go just like that after learning how you made fun of me by introducing a rat in my place?” he said calmly,
13/18
gritting his teeth.
“Well, you started it first. So, don’t start something that
can’t handle,” I said with a
you
smile, even when his grip tightened around my waist. “It will be better if you will stop wasting your time hurting and breaking me and use that time to get your first love,” I added.
“Quiet, not here. Even walls have ears,” he warned as his grip loosened around my waist. I nodded my head. “But you’re right. At the same time, one of the things on which you should start working is respecting me.”
“Respect is not demanded but
14/18
earned, Alpha Tristan.” I reminded him. “You can’t expect me to respect you when you act like nothing but an asshole; after all, respect is a two–way street,” I added, looking directly into his eyes. I
saw him raise his eyebrow in
amusement, but he didn’t anything.
say
“Your sister is already here. I hope you will keep your mouth shut.”
“Is that an order or request?”
“Don’t taste my patience, Fiancee,” he growled at me in a low tone, making me chuckle. I was in no mood to talk about it
with anyone either. I wasn’t a
15/18
kid who would complain about everything to my parents.
I joined everyone at the breakfast table and saw Jade already sitting there, laughing and giggling like a hyena. The memories of her cheating on me with my ex–boyfriend flashed through my mind, but I still smiled when our gazes met.
I didn’t miss how the woman beside Jade was glaring at me as if she would eat me alive.
Alpha Tristan pulled the chair for me like a gentleman that I couldn’t recognise, but then he might be acting in this way to irritate the woman near Jade.

Soon, Ezekiel joined everyone. And the very first thing that I saw was the l*pstick mark on the collar of his shirt. I looked away only to see Jade wearing the same shade of l*pstick and her eyes on my mate.
I was aware of the King’s great S**ual appetite, but I didn’t know that I would get a live example.
