Brielle
The guard from before appeared from nowhere, glaring at me with disgust. He shook his head. "Follow me." He ordered and without a word, I obeyed.
We walked out of the house, into the open space and I gasped at how beautiful this place looked.
The pack house was made of either stones or rocks but it looked so majestic and eerie, beautiful but creepy.
"Conner. She's to work at the stable until she is summoned by the alphas. Do not touch her, you know how furious they get." He warned and Conner turned around.
He took one song sweep at me, starting from my lips, his eyes lingering on my breasts before they rested on my face.
He was licking his lips, he looked like a disgusting creep and goddess knew I wanted to be anywhere but here.
"Fuck, why didn't they have her yet, Asher? Is anything wrong?" Conner asked and Asher raised a brow.
"You can go into the house to mask that question, do not touch her." He gritted out and Conner rolled his eyes.
"But… This is terrible, she's such a beautiful little thing, goddess knows I wanna stick my cock into every hole she's got." I almost puked from hearing those words.
My stomach clenched and I felt my legs buckle.
"Do not touch her."
"The alphas should be considerate of their men too. This little thing is so seductive and if we wait for them to have her, she'll never be able to survive it, I'm tired of fucking their corpse, they're not as fun as these." He glanced at me with a devious grin and I coiled back a little.
My chest tightened. He fucked the dead. This was barbaric, now being with Dylan felt like a blessing, at least I was protected and given the position of Luna.
"You know the rules." Asher reminded before walking away.
"Come close, little one." He snarled and with a pounding heart, I took two steps forward, putting a huge distance between us.
"You'll tend to the horses, feed them, brush them and make sure they're well fed until it's night. You'll have your meals with the horses, the tiniest pony is worth more than your life, you'll regret it deeply if anything goes wrong, understood?" He demanded and I nodded hastily.
"Follow me." He led me into the stables and I gasped. There were numerous horses.
Unique and beautiful breeds, I loved horses a lot when I was little, seeing them prance around was all it took to make me happy.
"Wow…"
"You're assigned to this row." He ordered and my jaws dropped. The row had more than a hundred horses, how was I to tend to them? This was no different from a death sentence, there were stallions, taller than me.
How was I to brush stallions whose tails were taller than me?
"I… This…"
"You will do just as I have instructed without questioning my authority! Failure to obey the rules and I'll make sure you're whipped in front of the entire slaves." He warned and I nodded hastily, the thought sending chills down my body.
"Get to work, I'm not going to spare you because of your looks, I'll wait until the alphas are done with you and have my way with whatever is left of you." He vowed, grabbing my cheeks and I shivered.
His hands were cold and the moment he let go, I heaved a sigh of relief. I headed into the stall that had their hay, exhaling deeply as I realized this was now my life.
"I guess I'll do this until the alphas are ready to do away with me." I whispered as I grabbed a handful of hay, heading to the first stall.
It was a beautiful white horse and I smiled softly as I tried to touch her face and to my shock, she let me, making my smile broaden.
"So you feel trapped? I feel the same way too." I whispered as I brushed her back.
It was exhausting and to think I was going to do that for more than fifty stalls.
I was panting heavily by the time I reached the last stall. My bones were about to drop off, my legs were sore and goddess knew I was hanging on thin thread.
I panted heavily as I sat on the floor, trying to regain a little bit of strength. It was late already, I had had my lunch here and I gulped down the flask of water that had been given to me.
My throat was like a parched desert. I heard neighing sounds coming from the last two stalls that were further away from the ones I had been assigned to.
The place was dark and had a warning sign and I wondered why.
They neighed again and this time around, I rose from the ground, looking around as a part of me wanted to check it out.
I began tiptoeing towards them when I felt a tap only back. I almost jumped in fright and a rough hand grabbed my arm roughly.
"I…"
"Shhh, this'll be quick." My eyes widened in shock when Conner pinned me to the wall of the stall, grinning as he used his claws to tear my top onto two.
"No… Stop! Let go… Help! Help!" I screamed, trying to break free.
"Shut the hell up you bitch!" He thundered as he slapped me hard across the face, grabbing my neck as his claws pierced my skin, drawing out blood.
He began strangling me with one hand while the other caressed my body roughly, my voice slowly got cut off and my protests gradually decreased.
