Chapter Sixteen

I was woken up by a maid entering the room. She shushed me out of the bed and made me wear one of the dirty gowns which were hanging inside of the closet. I wrinkled my nose as the smell of the dress reached my nostrils. It smelled old, not a good kind of old but more like a foul old.

She then aggressively brushed my hair with the comb she brought along and made my hair look even uglier and dirtier than it was before she touched it. It was puffy and my waves were uneven. I rubbed my eyes as she hushed me out of the room. Trailing behind her I looked at my surroundings. Maybe there was a way of escaping this castles?

We walked through the maiden corridor, where all maids had a room for themselves. I received a lot of glares from the maids. They probably smelled that my scent wasn't werewolf-like.

we walked what seemed for hours. My feet began aching and I was debating on just laying down onto this floor. We got outside and I was hit with these wonderful scents. It was a fresh and fruity scent and I looked around seeing a beautiful garden with a lot of plants. Some of the plants I could recognize since we had them too in Estreia or I have seen in Idzor but the most of them I wasn't sure what they were. They looked magical and delicious.

The rude maid grabbed my forearm and dragged me towards a building far away from the castle. she had a tight grip, even my hand was slowly turning white. "Stop staring and keep walking", she hissed.

I obeyed knowing that even if she was a maid, she would be stronger than me. But she couldn't know that I wasn't a warrior and I held my head high. She opened a metal door and I nearly gagged as I breathed in a foul and bloody smell. She hurried to the stairs and we descended them quickly. I looked to my left and right and saw various cells with some people inside of them. Some of those were werewolves but the major part were fairies and mermaids.

Frantically I looked around and thought of a way to escape. Before they would throw me into one of those cells.

We reached another door and she opened it and shoved me inside. I stopped breathing as I recognized the face. "LET ME OUT", I cried out as I banged the door. I looked behind and saw his mischievous looking at my attempt to escape. Tears began streaming down my face. Suddenly I felt his body behind me and his mouth neared my ear.

"Hello darling", he slurred into my ear. My breath hitched and I shuddered at his presence. His hand touched my shoulder and I tried not to sob as he touched me without my willing. His buff body was basically pressed against my back at this point. He trailed his fingers along my collarbone. "The moment I knew you were your chamber was, I immediately called a maid to escort you to me", he whispered.

I wanted to cry. I wanted to scream. I wanted to fight back. No tears were streaming down my face anymore. My eyes felt dry and my previous tears were dried on my cheeks. He shifted his hand into a claw and ripped my gown apart. My lips quivered at the thought what would happen next. The last time I encountered this man he took my innocence.

He shifted his claw back and continued trailing along my chest with his finger. He began making circles around my nipples. He then removed his hand quickly and grabbed me by my waist spinning me around so I was facing him. He had a big grin plastered on his gruesome face.

He cupped both my breasts in his rough hands and began wildly touching them. It was painful. After he was finished with fondling with my breasts he ripped open the skirt and at that moment I snapped. I punched him straight into his face and he stumbled back. He shook his head and spit onto the ground. With his right hand he held his chin and looked furious to me.

I covered my exposed chest with my arms and held my head high. He stalked towards me and slapped me across my face. It was stinging but I didn't move.

"Show some respect whore", he growled out and grabbed my neck and began squeezing it. Automatically I grabbed his hand and tried to breathe. He didn't even budge and I aggressively scratched his arm but he still continued. At that moment I knew that if I wouldn't to anything he would simply kill me off and possibly rape my dead body. My hands turned into claws and I scratched his arms with them. He looked shocked at me and growled. "What the fuck are you!"

He let go and looked at his bloody lines that I caused. He looked up and then focused on my hands which were still claws. He shifted his hands back into claws and walked towards me with his claws raised. Soon I wouldn't have any energy left and I looked at my claws seeing that they slowly turned back into my original hands. He was now right in front of me and before his claw would slash my face, I ducked away and turned around so I was facing his side. I slashed his bicep and he snarled at the impact. I took a few steps back and looked around trying to find a way to break this door open.

There was nothing. Nothing in sight to help my attempt at escaping him. I looked at my hands and saw that they turned back and my heart beat increased. Sweat droplets formed on my forehead. I had now no chance against this bulk werewolf.

While I was in my thoughts he grabbed my arm with his claw and dug them deep into my skin. "You whore", he growled as he held me. He let go of my arm and suddenly I felt a warm liquid running down my stomach. I looked down and saw his other claw covered with purple blood. My gown was soaked in blood. He let go off me and I protectively hugged my upper body. Black dots appeared in my vision and I didn't know if that happened because of the energy I used or the blood loss. He crouched down brushing the hair away from my face. I laid painfully on the floor clutching my stomach. His hand trailed down my legs and slightly parted them. He removed his pants and let them fall on the ground. I couldn't concentrate at the next few things that happened. My vision was blurred and dots were dancing around.

I only felt him entering me and I cried out at the pain. He began thrusting inside me and I cried out at the pain he caused. He was moving around my organs and my wound was tearing more open with each thrust he made.

He tensed up after a few seconds and removed himself of me. He released his liquid on the floor next to my bloody body. After dressing himself again he stomped out of the room and soon after that two maids hurried inside the room. One was dragging me out of the room while the other cleaned the horrific scene we left behind.

She dragged me towards a room where she placed me on a chair and took out another gown. She took of the gown off me and put on the knew one. She didn't even care to clean my wounds or to bandage them. Soon the fabric that was on my stomach was once again soaked with my purple blood.

The other gown she threw into a sack and after that she turned back to me. "I will escort you back to the castle, someone's asking for you", she stated. I slowly nodded and she grabbed my arm once again and tugged me towards the castle.

We entered it and we were greeted by some guards, others were scowling at me but flashed a smile towards the maid. Soon she let go off my arm and let me walk on my own. If we wouldn't sit down soon I would fall onto the floor. My vision was still slightly blurry and the wound was still bleeding but not as much as in the beginning. We reached a chamber and entered it. I saw a red haired mermaid sitting there. Her eyes widened as she saw me and she quickly scurried towards my side and let me lean on her. The maid disappeared and I was left of with Ophelia letting me sit on her bed. I noticed that she had way bigger room than me. It wasn't the best but looked like a guest room compared to my chamber. "How did they allow you to see me", I asked her with a hoarse voice.

"I talked to some guards and they allowed me after I black mailed them", she answered. I wasn't even surprised that Ophelia could do that. She was a mermaid. She could probably enchant the male guards. "Wait let me clean you", she offered but I knew that it was a command. She scurried away to another door and opened it. There was a small bathroom with a sink and toilet and a small bathtub. She ripped off a cloth from her gown and soaked it in water. She then walked back to me and helped me take off the dress leaving me naked. She began cleaning the wound. Wiping away the dried blood. "It's still bleeding", she said and went back to the bathroom grabbing a bandage and then bandaging it around my torso.

I winced as it made contact with the open wound. "Finished", she murmured, "What happened Elyana." I looked away from her and didn't know how to tell her that a werewolf took my innocence twice and beat me up. "I provoked a guard", I lied. She sighed and rubbed my back with her cold hands. "I'm so sorry that happened to you", she said weakly. I couldn't look into her eyes knowing that was the second time I lied at her. Suddenly she gasped. "How couldn't I see these marks." I looked at her and she pointed at my neck. "What marks", I exclaimed and she ran to the bathroom taking a small mirror and putting it into my hand.

I lifted it up and examined my neck. There were some purple and blue bruises covering my neck. "The guard chocked me", I said. Which wasn't a lie. She gasped and crushed me into a hug. "You're hurting me", I half-laughed half-cried. She quickly let go and apologized.

"I'll escort you back into your room." Our heads snapped towards the door and a maid stood there. It was the same blonde maid that brought me here. I said goodbye to Ophelia and got out of the room. We walked out of the corridor into another and another again. This castle was built like a labyrinth.

As we reached the maiden corridor again I knew where we were we turned to the right and my breath hitched as I saw his grey eyes. He walked towards and stopped. The maid bowed and showed her neck in submission. I stood frozen there.

He looked at her and then at me. His gaze stopped at my neck and swear I could see a glimpse of anger swirling his eyes. "What's that", he asked. It sounded more like a growl though. The maid explained to him that I did that to myself to kill me off and brought me to the infirmary to check if I caused any damage. I stared at her as she lied to her king knowing now that her loyalty was with someone else. She continued telling him that we were now on our way back to my chamber. He continued studying my neck and excused the maid which hurried away and left me alone with him in this corridor.
