Chapter 30
Aurora
I dashed out of his room, holding my torn clothes as tears blinded my vision.
I didn’t care about the gossip that flew around or the glares I received as I made my way with nowhere in my mind.
They were the least of my burdens.
As long as I was out of that devil’s chambers, I was safe.
But for how long?
My body tensed up as his words filled my head, spiking my anxiety.
I had until 8 pm before my life became ruined by that demon.
Fuck!
Wild thoughts ran freely in my head as my heart pounded hard against my ribs.
Think, Aurora!
But my nervousness got the best of me, erasing every thought before it could even form.
I halted in my tracks as dread crept from the pit of my stomach.
I felt my body stiffen in shock and my eyes popped out when a thought rang in my head.
Cold sweat formed on my forehead, rolling down my face as I searched frantically for the little secret that I had hidden.
My life would be over the moment he found out about it.
Touching my body rapidly, fear engulfed me at the consequences of losing it.
There was no explanation I would give that would convince him.
I would be tagged as a killer. A spy.
Or even worse, my parents might be killed.
Shoving my fears aside, I tried to think about my encounter with him.
I was sure it was protected properly.
Or has the seen it and pretended? Or did he intentionally keep it away from me?
No doubt, if he had caught it on me, I would have been thrown behind the heavy bars of the dungeon.
Tears were starting to prick my eyes when my fingers grazed over a hard surface.
Muttering a prayer to the moon goddess, relief washed over me as I hid it further in my clothes.
There was no way he wouldn’t have seen it if had sex with me.
“Hy.” Alex’s voice jolted me from my thoughts, making me jump.
My hands flew to my chest as shock hit me hard, almost weakening me.
“Is everything okay?” she asked, throwing me a suspicious look, but I was quick to mask my feelings.
“Yes. You just scared me. But it’s okay.” I slipped my hands off the bottle, adjusting my torn clothes to hide my bare skin from Alex.
A feeling of embarrassment settled within the pit of my stomach when Alex’s eyes hovered all over me.
Great!
Now she would know what happened in his room.
But that was the least of my worries.Têxt © NôvelDrama.Org.
The most important thing was that she didn’t catch me with my secret bottle.
“Thank goodness I found you here. I got a call from the King to show you to your room,” she announced, leading the way while I followed behind.
Satisfaction filled me when Alex didn’t bother me with questions about the King.
Guess she wasn’t the nosy type.
Pushing the door open, I couldn’t help but marvel at the beauty that stared back at me.
The room’s interior decorations screamed luxury, making me doubt if I was still the King’s slave.
To my understanding, slaves weren’t gifted much. And in some cases, they were rarely given a room.
But I could swear that my new room was more beautiful than the room in my parent’s pack.
I didn’t know whether I should be thankful or I should still be mad at the King.
From the look of things, the only thing I needed were clothes.
“Your clothes will be brought here, including everything you need. Make yourself comfortable. If you need anything, don’t hesitate to let me know, I’ll be in the kitchen preparing dinner.” With those words, she shut the door, leaving me to my fate.
I hurriedly brought out the bottle I hid perfectly in my body, placing it on the table as thoughts clouded my head again.
A feeling of resentment shot up in my spine as the King’s world filled my head once more.
If running away wasn’t an option…could death be?
Alex’s words confirmed the doubt in my head as my gaze landed on the bottle that contained wolfsbane.
Afraid of the negative outcome of things, I sneaked a bottle of wolfsbane into my parent’s pack when no one was watching, hiding it beneath my dress.
Maybe now was the best time to use it.
But It was a shame I had to tarnish such a beautiful room with my death.
I was left with no choice.
The clock was clicking and soon, it would be eight.
My life would be over.
I was sorry if my rash decision would hurt my parents, but I had to take matters into my own hands.
I had to protect myself before I become damaged by the horny king who only cared about my body.
For twenty years of my existence, I had kept my body for my mate. Despite facing hard times, I swore that I wasn’t going to trade my virginity for anybody who wasn’t paired with me by the Moon goddess.
I imagined how it would be one of the sweetest memories when I’d be entangled in my mate’s arms on a soft bed, showered with kisses.
But the reverse was the case.
My virginity was about to be forcefully taken by a ruthless King most painfully.
To even think that he wanted to defile me for the first time on his table filled me with disgust and hatred!
What happened to his bed?
Was that how worthless I had become?
Once the beloved daughter of an Alpha, but now reduced to the Alpha King’s property.
He might have taken things forcefully from anyone, but I won’t let him take my pride.
It was the only thing I had with me after losing my identity for the second time.
I don’t think I would survive it.
Pushing my fears away, I brought the bottle close to my mouth, opened the lid, threw it carelessly on the floor, and ignored the acidic burning sensation that drafted my nostrils.
With a determined mind and a sealed heart, I shut my eyes, emptying the wolfsbane down my throat before crashing hard on the floor.
My head hit the tiled floor so hard that it went blank.
My vision turned bleak and I could feel warm liquid cascading down the side of my head.
Gradually, strength seeped out of me and my eyes became heavy. Unable to stay awake, my eyelids closed and my head was slumped sideways.
Darkness soon engulfed me as I found myself in a new realm.
In no time, the news of my death would spread far and wide.
But it was better than me being defiled.
I wouldn’t have to wait for tomorrow.
There was no tomorrow.
This was the end of my miserable life.
I was free from the horrors of this world at last!
