Chapter 30
30 – Messy Punishment
Aurora POV
“Ready for your punishment?” Jason acted like it was a normal, routine Tuesday date night.
I swallowed the invisible knot in my throat, just staring at the man who held my life in his hands.
He motioned me to come to him with two of his fingers and I reluctantly stood from the bed and walked through the small sea of
muscle, my head hung low in embarrassment. I knew I had taken it too far, but the small rebellious part of me just wanted to
cause them a little discomfort.
“For what it’s worth, I’m sorry. I went too far” 1 said when I stopped in front of Jason. My vision was becoming blurry with salty
tears that were pushing to escape down my cheeks. Our shoes were almost touching, and I know this because I was staring at
them. I had a wave of extreme fear wash over me so I couldn’t muster the courage to look at him.
A rough hand pulled my chin up and I blinked back the tears as my vision cleared and I was staring into the beautiful cold eyes of
the master king himself.
He clicked his tongue and said “I know sweetie. But you still will be punished severely.” I nodded in response and looked down
again. I felt his warm lips on the crown of my head before his hand found my arm and he ushered me out of the door. I didn’t
even look back at Lillian.
The guards were close behind us and the hall was silent except for the pitter patter of our shoes against the tiled floors.
We went through the second kitchen and then through the first kitchen and then into the dining room and I was brought to the
side of room. Waiting there were at least ten more armed guards, Charlie, Ben, and Kat. The two other men that were in the
office and Draco were also there. The one I hit with the halloon was cleaned up and wearing a yello
polo shirt and black pants. Kai was still covered in food that stained his grey suit and white shirt in large brown. and black spots.
Charlie and Ben had clearly showered and changed into black shirts and matching dress pants
I noticed there was a large area on the floor covered in a clear plastic sheet. In the middle of the plastic sheet was a metal
armchair. And with seeing that, the invisible knot in my throat had returned and my heart sped up to match the pace of a
cheetah. My breathing became heavy but I couldn’t stop moving.
Jason brought me to the chair and pushed my shoulder down.
That’s when I freaked out. He moved slightly and I jumped up and tried to run to the door. I had to get away. He caught me so
effortlessly. I began to sob and thrash in his arms, clawing at the arm wrapped around my waist and trying to propel my body
forward.
I know I connected my foot with his shins because I heard a painful grunt behind me. Charlie and Kai along with Draco and two
other guards stepped forward and somehow they all managed to get me in the chair. I was too busy screaming “please don’t kill
me” and “let me go” to notice that they put cuffs around my wrists and ankles and
attached a leather belt around my torso.
They all stepped back once I was secure and I continued to thrash, barely noticing the pain that the metal cuffs were

causing when they dug into my tender flesh.

guys stepped away and started talking to themselves. Thomas appeared and approached them.
His whole face was red almost as if spent two days in the Sahara Desert without sunscreen. His eyes were not just puffy, they
were swollen. I really felt bad at that moment.
Ghost peppers can burn a house down if you don’t handle them properly. I did not think that it would get in his face. That was
really my bad. It was supposed to burn their mouth if they tasted it, not put it in their eyes!
I heard Kai say, “what the fuck happened to you?” I didn’t bear Thomas response, but all the guys looked at me.
At one point in their hushed conversation, Jason called over two guards and gave them some instructions. They left for the
kitchen.
A few minutes later the guards returned with a trolley, and they wheeled it to the edge of the plastic lining. I could make out
different condiments and spice bottles.
At the snap of Jason’s fingers, the guards all around me back off and head to different spots around the room, leaving me
strapped to a chair and now I have eight very angry serious faces staring at me
Jason comes forward and leans down so we are eye level with each other. He placed both of his arms on top of mine to steady
himself. “Do you know what rules you broke?” I nod very subtly in response.
“Words Aurora. Always words!”
“Rule three” I reply.
“Which is?” Jason questioned.
“Be respectful and kind.”
“And what other rule did you break?”
Another rule? I didn’t break another rule. Rule one was don’t escape, rule two was don’t leave the compound, rule three was be
respectful and kind. Rule four was curfew.
I shook my head while saying “I didn’t break any other rule.”
“Wrong Aurora. Rule one: do not try to escape. You broke rule fucking one!” Jason started getting agitated new 1 had to calm the
beast down.
“N–no, sir. I never t–tried to escape.” 1 began shaking. My whole body was physically manifesting my fear. “In–never tried t–to
escape. I just opened the door and ran away m–making you th–think I did so I could hide. I only wanted
have a l–little fun. I’m s–so sorry. I–I took it too far.” I hate it when I stutter!
They all raised their eyebrows, but it was Kai who spoke: “You little brat! You knew we would be pissed off and you still decided
to cause so much chaos?” He had a hint of amusement on his face.
I stayed silent and pierced my lips together. I know I’m guilty.

“You crossed a line Aurora. You pushed your luck too far. Even if you technically didn’t attempt to escape.” Jason said sternly.
Again I stayed silent and lowered my head.
Jason stood up in front of me and then said: “We will give you a small reprieve. You are going to get a taste of your own
medicine. But before we do that, you need to understand that your actions today caused a lot of problems. It is only fair that we
give you a permanent reminder so you remember the next time you want to pull a stunt like that, there will be grave
consequences. Kai is going to carve our initials onto your wrists. You will never try something like that again, you hear me?”
My body continued to shake and tears rolled freely down my face as Kai approached.
He kissed my forehead before taking my left arm in his left hand and applying an insane amount of pressure to keep my arm
from moving, I felt he was going to break it. I looked away as the tip of a small army knife touched my skin. I felt it dig into my
skin and it was sharp and searing pain as if I was being burned by a hot dish on the stove. I tried to be brave by clenching my
fists and screaming all the nasty profanities internally. Eventually the burning sensation was too much and I screamed in agony.
Charlie had found his way behind me and was petting my head and whispering
sweet nothings in my ear trying to keep me calm.
The pain stopped and when Kai moved away, I saw blood dripping down my forearm. He had neatly carved JOD CDP KA BV.
The cuts were deep enough that they would leave a scar, a permanent imprint of their claim to me.
Jason and several of the men then walked over to the trolley cart and picked up various condiments. The proceeded to
pour and throw food all over me. It was embarrassing to say the least.
Draco cracked a few eggs on my head. Thomas rubbed salt in my open wound, that made me cry. I was drenched in creamer,
chocolate syrup, maple syrup, whipped cream, tomato sauce, vegetable oil, various spices were thrown on me like turmeric,
pepper, Italian seasoning, paprika, and mustard.
I felt disgusting and weak. They then left me there under the supervision of snickering guards. I eventually fell asleep to the
sounds of my own sobbing. Ben and Charlie woke me up sometime later and helped me back to my room.
They stripped me and helped me shower. I was so physically and emotionally drained that I didn’t even care that they. saw me
naked. I felt numb. They cleaned me up, bandaged my arm, and dressed me for sleep. I barely remember them taking me to my
bed, placing the chain around my ankle both kissing my face goodnight. My eyes closed quickly, and I let the darkness take me.
My last thought was that was for you Brianna. It was worth every second!
