The sickening sound of a whip meeting flesh and the screams that it elicited from my victim brought nothing but sick satisfaction to me. I let the whip reign down on his back seven more times before I was satisfied. I threw the whip to the side and grabbed him up by the collar and slammed his back into the silver lined walls. I chuckled lowly at his screams of pain, they brought me joy. I was having fun but I was through playing around with him, I brought him down to his knees and grabbed his head in both of my hands.
“This is what happens when you disrespect your king.”
And I snapped his neck.
I let his lifeless body fall to the ground and looked over to two of my pack warriors.
“I want his body burned and have someone clean up the mess.”
“Yes, Alpha.” They said in unison.
I made my way to the sink that was placed in the pack cells and washed all the blood from my hands. I didn’t want Amina to see me like this, she was already afraid of me.
I sighed at the thought of my mate, it had been two days since I had forced my mark on her and she hasn’t spoken one word to me. She would just sit there, staring at her hands, never making eye contact with anyone. She didn’t speak unless she was spoken to and it infuriated me to no end, she was a queen and she wasn’t supposed to take orders from anyone. I’ve already had to tell a few pack members that she wasn’t a servant. I needed to get her to not be afraid of me, she was the one person that shouldn’t fear me. I could feel the numbness and fear she constantly had because of the mate bond and it made me sick to my stomach that she felt that way, they were the only motions that she had shown for the last couple of days, and maybe that’s why I didn’t think much of the fear that went through me, it was a constant with her.
I sighed as I made my way upstairs to go and check on her in the kitchen where I had left her earlier. I followed her scent to the kitchen where I heard girls laughing, I figured that maybe some of the girls had decided to befriend her and I was just feeling her nervousness. I let a small smile slip onto my face, expecting to see her with a small smile on her face, but when I walked into the kitchen my smile quickly turned into a scowl and a loud growl ripped out of my chest.
“What the fuck is going on!”
Amina’s POV
It has been two days since the Alpha King attacked me and I had easily gone back into the person I was before I slipped into that coma. No one had really bothered to talk to me and only a few had asked me to do things for them, I was used to it from the way I was treated in my old pack so I didn’t mind, but it had only happened once.
The Alpha King had brought me to the main kitchen this morning instead of the one in his wing of the house to make sure I ate breakfast, but that had been two hours ago. I wasn’t sure where to go and I didn’t want to get into trouble if I moved, I had already done something to make him angry and I wasn’t ready to face the consequences again. The pain from his bite had faded away quickly but instead of it being an angry red bite mark, it had somehow transformed into an almost tattoo like picture of the letters T and L inside of a crescent moon. I ran my fingers over it absentmindedly and shivered at the tingles it caused to flow through my body.
I was brought out of my dazed state when a small group of girls walked through the kitchen laughing and talking. They noticed me as soon as the blonde girl who tried to attack me my first nigh noticed me, a sinister smile covered her pretty face and she slowly made her way over to me.
“You still here runt?”
I flinched back at her harsh tone but I nodded.
She grinned and then I watched her move around the kitchen towards the big, stainless steel refrigerator and root around for something. She pulled out a container and sat it on the counter in front of me and removed the lid, I almost gagged from the foul smell that came from the clearly spoiled food.
“Look here runt, I don’t care what Titus told you but I’m his mate and I’m going to be the queen.”
While she was talking the two other girls she had come in with had gotten containers of rotten food for themselves
“Come here, runt.”
I didn’t want to get into even more trouble than I already was with her even though I hadn’t done anything to her, but then again I never had to do anything for Alpha Tony to hurt me. So I walked over to where she was, she towered over my small frame, staring at my feet, avoiding eye contact with all of them.
“I said I’m the queen that means you are beneath me, runt remember that, no kneel before your queen.”
For some reason I felt the urge to resist her order, I wasn’t a runt, I knew that much, but something inside me was absolutely enraged at the fact that she wanted me to submit to her.
“I said kneel bitch!”
I didn’t like taking this particular order from her but I fought against my instincts and I got down on my knees in front of her, my head bowed down.
“Good little runt. Now, since you have disrespected your queen I’ll punish you as I see fit.”
I stiffened at the word punishment and she let out a low chuckle that sent shivers down my spine.
“Come on girls, let’s show this pathetic runt what happens when you come for my mate and my crown.”
All at once, rotten food was dumped over my head and I gagged on the smell while the girls laughed like this was the funniest thing in the world. As much as I didn’t want to I let a few tears slip out and this fueled their cruel laughter.
“Look at her, pathetic, and to think that she thought that she could be queen.”
They laughed louder at my expense, I wanted nothing more than to curl into a ball and cry my eyes out for the next few hours. They laughed harder when my stomach finally betrayed me and my
breakfast made a reappearance all over me and the floor. I tried to stand but I was knocked down into the mess of rotten food and vomit. The blonde threw a paper towel at me.

breakfast made a reappearance all over me and the floor. I tried to stand but I was knocked down into the mess of rotten food and vomit. The blonde threw a paper towel at me.
“Now clean it up.”
The mess far exceeded the single paper towel she threw at me, but I didn’t want to give her a legitimate reason to be angry at me and humiliate me further, so I start cleaning up the mess on the floor while they laughed. I wanted nothing more than to retaliate but any fight that I had had been beaten out of me a long time ago.
A delicious scent overpowered the vile mess that covered me and the floor and my fear doubled. I didn’t know why but I didn’t want him to see me this way, I wouldn’t be able to survive the smug look on his face when he saw me, I couldn’t take that, not from him. I still didn’t understand the feelings that I had gained for him in just a few short days, don’t get me wrong I was still terrified of him and I knew that he would kill me eventually but I couldn’t help but feel safe when I was around him despite the fact that he had attacked me my first night here.
A vicious growl ripped me from my thoughts and stopped the girl’s laughter. My eyes shot up and met with the enraged face of the Alpha King.
“What the fuck is going on?” He roared.
The blonde girl was the only one that didn’t cower back at his tone and the huge waves of anger that flowed off him. The brave blonde spoke up first.
“Titus, baby, I was just putting this lowlife runt in her place. She tried to steal you and my title from me.”
He let out another growl.
“Tatiana how many times do I have to tell you, you mean nothing to me! You are not my mate and you will never be queen!”
