WHAT'S GOING ON HERE

His arms planked on the bed, blood pouring out of his mouth, his body above hers, his breath shallow, as he deposited his blood in her.

Declan stayed that way above her, his arms shaking as he stilled, the night rolling by, day slowly showcasing and he could barely breath.

He took his eyes to Aeris and was a bit satisfied her color returned, but she was still unconscious.

He took his fingers to his wound widening it so more blood drops out.

He was still on top of her in that plank position, Dawn already, when the door to the room was pushed open and Fillion walked in.

His eyes widened when he saw Declan in that position and he hurried forward pushing him away.

"Fuck Alpha" He called and Declan who accidentally rolled to the floor instead of the other side of the bed groaned painfully.

" What the fuck, you spent the entire night" Fillion gasped running towards him

He helped Declan to his fit but dude was wary, his eyes heavy both from lack of sleep and blood..

It was obvious he would faint anytime soon.

Declan's wary eyes stared at Aeris who still wasn't awake and he faced Fillion.

"I should con.. ti..nue" He said huskily and Fillion scoffed.

"You're gonna die before she wakes up" He said and made for the door, Declan sloppily followed him and Jasmine appeared at the door with puffy eyes.

It seemed she had been a distance from the Alphas quarters and hadn't gotten any sleep.

She stared at Fillion who stopped in front of her.

"Clean her up" Fillion ordered and turned to start walking with the Alpha hanging weakly on his back.

"So she really died yesterday, Davis couldn't detect a pulse" She covered her lips, tears stinging her eyes.

"I don't know, just take care of her, she really may be dead" Fillion said.

Declan wanted to speak but he was too weak to do so.

He wanted to oppose Fillion's speech but he couldn't let out a word..

Jasmine slowly made her way in and she blinked severally when she saw Aeris's color was no longer purple.

Wait, she was fine now, like she was okay now but how was that possible.

She was dead just yesterday and even if the Alpha had deposited his blood then she may not have survived it really.

How come, it may be possible only for two mates but there was no way Aeris was the Alphas mate if it was blood deposition.

If course it was blood deposition if not how would their Alpha be in the condition he was earlier.

She couldn't even pity her Alpha cause he hated it.

But then all those didn't matter right, Aeris was gonna be fine now and that was all that mattered.

Jasmine walked towards the bed with glee and she stared at Aeris's pretty face.

"You're really okay. Am so glad" She gushed.

The Alpha saved Aeris and she was grateful for that.

But come to think of it, he disliked her for her disrespect.. then why did he save her.

He was even gonna end Aeris's fiance.

Only a jealous mate whose mate had an extra affair would think of doing that or possibly a ruthless Alpha who kills for no reason but their alpha wasn't that way.

Yes he was ruthless but there must be a reason to every kill right.

There must be. He wouldn't just kill because he wanted to.

But if thats the case then why did he try to kill Aeris's fiance as news had.

Or... Was it what she was thinking, was Aeris the Alphas mate cause Melantha wasn't.

No, was that even possible.

We'll she would ask Aeris when she wakes up, two mates always knew themselves.

*

Aeris sat on the bed in her room doing what she loved doing most.

Playing the flute.

She dated out the window with her beautiful ashen eyes that was soul grasping.

Her enchanting ash hair blown by the wind that boomed in through the open windows.

Her lips were pressed to the flute, and her fingers tapping at each holes on it, the blissful melody made the night more brighter.

The beautiful sight of her playing the flute could enchant any and they wouldn't be able to come out of it.

Her legs were crossed at her ankles region and she ducked them forward and back.

She enjoyed the melody she created and wouldn't want that to filter out of her.

She was still on it playing gleefully when her name was called.

The yelp of pain, an alert that caused her flute to fall.

"Father" She called and began running out of the room.

"Aeris, Save yourself" Aeris heard and her heart leaped in fear as she got outside and the cruel sight before her made her fall on her butt.

The necks of her parent glaring hurtfully and hatefully at her.

Their blood soaked the grassed ground.

The Moon shining proudly.

" You're useless, you couldn't save us" The dead neck of her father spoke and she shook her head, her face already wet with tears.

"No"

"You're useless, completely useless," Her mother yelled.

"Nooo"

"Useless"

"No"

"Useless"

"Nooooo"

"Uselessssssss"

"Noooooooooooooooo" Aeris screamed covering her ears and her eyes as well and when she opened them, she was in a garden.

The sun's light shining brightly.

She looked around the beautiful place with nothing but green grass and pursed when she saw her parents smiling at each other,.

"Mother, Father" She called shocked and they slowly turned to her.

The next thing it was night all of a sudden and their head fell from their shoulders.

"Save us Aeris, save us" Aeris's Mother said and Aeris's eyes widened in panic.

"Mother" She called and began running towards them but it seemed as the ran, the father they went.

"Aeris, Aeris" Her father screamed.

"No, dad, father, mother" She screamed running as fast as she could.

The

movement of the the bed caught Jasmine's attention pulling her out of her disoriented thoughts.

Aeris stirred on the bed slightly and Jasmine gasped standing at alert.

"Aeris, you're awake" Jasmine smiled and Aeris weakly opened her eyes.

"J.. Jas..Jasmine" She called hoarsely and Jasmine nodded.

"Yes, yes it's me ohh I was so worried" She smiled and Aeris tried to sit up but hissed at the sting she felt on her stomach.

"Ohhh. Don't do that yet, I don't think you're fully healed" Jasmine said and Aeris suddenly appeared to be distant as her dream.. Was that a dream, OK let's classify it as one, as her " dream" filled her mind.

" Aeris, Aeris you look tensed." Jasmine said and Aeris took her eyes to her.

She suddenly remembered something and she adjusted properly.

"Jasmine when I hugged you earlier, how did you know I was talking about my parents"

"I didn't know it was your parents, you said they so I said they as well, ohh, but was it your parent's" Jasmine asked and Aeris bowed.

"It's okay Aeris, am sure they're resting" Jasmine smiled kindly and Aeris scoffed.

"They hate me now Jasmine" Aeris said still bowing.

"Why would you say that" Jasmine whispered.

"I saw them, they hate me for not saving them, all these is because I haven't yet discovered my wolf, am useless and I hate myself for that" Aeris whispered and Jasmine sighed.

"You should have your bath now Aeris, you're just waking up and you're thinking of all these, no parent would hate thee child, stop blaming yourself for their death okay" Jasmine said and Aeris sniffed.

"You look so tough when you talk and act irrationally but you're too emotional and soft" Jasmine smiled helping Aeris get down from the bed and Aeris frowned.

"I'm not soft, I'm tough, always, naturally, I'm not emotional as well" Aeris scoffed wiping her tears and Jasmine smiled raising her hands in defeat.

"Agreed" She acknowledged helping Aeris out of bed.

Aeris suddenly gasped stopping Jasmine.

"Caelan, where's Caelan, where's my fiance, hope that bastard of an Alpha did nothing to him" Aeris asked alarmed with concern for her beloved and hate for a certain someone.

Jasmine stared at Aeris with an unpredictable look.

*That bastard of an Alpha saved your life by risking his *Jasmine thought.

"I don't know but I'm sure he's in good shape" Jasmine said instead.

She knew that Caelan was in the dungeon, everyone did.

But she knew how stubborn Aeris was, she may skip bathing and go for Caelan, cause a scene with the Alpha and bring more news for the kingdom.

Aeris stared unbelievably at Jasmine but she followed her into the bathroom still.

Jasmine scrubbed her hair, massaging her skull.

She washed Aeris's body, taking care at Aeris's injured spot.

Jessy suddenly rushed in holding a tray containing fruits and she gasped when she saw Aeris.

"You're back for real.. Ohh am so happy" Jessy giggled and joined Jasmine in bathing Aeris.

Aeris smiled at her.

"Yh, did I make you worry" She asked.

" Of course" Jessy said scrubbing her legs gently.

"Hmph, not my fault thou" She said and Jessy blinked while Jasmine just shook her head with a smile.

"What you wanted a" Sorry I didn't mean to " and you'll say" It's okay, I'm glad you're okay ", gosh, I got tired of the line while thinking of it, so I decided to be real, besides its not my fault you were worried, it's you who decided to be" Aeris said and picked a strawberry from the fruit tray takin a bite with a shrug.

Jessy smiled at her scrubbing her other foot.

"You're different, and I like your kind of different" Jessy said and Aeris shrugged.

"I was born with it" She said takin another bite.

Jasmine and Jessy chuckles at that with happy smiles and Aeris couldn't help the smile that came on her face.

She was glad for one thing even if she didn't wanna be.

She was glad they accepted her the way she was.

* ALPHA DECLAN'S ROOM AT THE MOUNTAIN *

Declan groaned in pains as his wounds blood turned black.

He was sitting on a wooden stool waiting for Fillion, the pains from his wound was killing.

Fillion came from the fireplace holding two firewood burning brightly with fire.

He walked towards the Alpha with no emotions in his eyes.

Declan breath heavily waiting for the pain that would come from this.

Fillion got to him and he took a deep breath then he placed both burning woods at Declan's stomach and back.

A heavy ferocious growl escaped Declan's lips.

"Aghhhhhhhhhhh"

The sound of his growl resonated round his house and past the forest reaching the palace walls.

His eyes glowed bright red burning like fires.

His teeth gritted and his fist tightened.

Green veins glowed on his neck and muscle as Fillion burned his wound.

His room was suddenly suffocating.

"Fuck" He cursed.

All these he was going through was all for one person, all for a certain girl he didn't know what he wanted from her.

He didn't know why he saved her but Ilan desperately wanted that.

The dirty wolf threatened to go into hibernation.

Fillion pressed the wound firmer on the Alphas wound and Declan growled again.

" Aghhhhhhhhhhhhhh"

* HALLWAY *

"Whats that noise, what animal shouts that way" Aeris frowned, the screams obviously disturbing her.

Jasmine pressed her lips together as they walked on the hallway.

"I think it's the Alpha" Jessy said and Aeris paused her steps turning to face them.

"Is he dieing" She asked with hopeful eyes.

"Aeris why would you wish that" Jasmine stared shocked.

Aeris frowned disappointingly.

"He isn't, then why scream like a mad dog" Aeris frowned walking slowly due to her injury which hadn't healed fully.

She had refused to eat and had insisted on goin out despite their pleas.

"Aeris you have to watch your words, the Alpha is a wolf and wouldn't like it if you classify him as a dog" Jessy cautioned and Aeris rolled her eyes when guards suddenly rushed up to them.

They pushed Jasmine and Jessy backwards as they surrounded Aeris.

Melantha slowly catwalked towards them with her head held high.

Her hands were crossed her there was a big scowl on her face.

Aeris rolled her eyes when she saw her while worry covered Jasmine and Jessy's features.

"What do you want now fly, angry that I'm still alive" Aeris asked nonchalantly and the next thing that happened shocked the hell out of Jasmine and Jessy and partly Aeris who wasn't expecting it, even the guards.

Her face turned to the side, her lips parted as a trail of blood rolled out.

"Dirty slut, first you disrespected the Alpha, and the next you slapped him, and now he's hurt because of you, he has to burn his injury because of you, you damn bitch" Melantha screamed and slapped Aeris again. Her face turned to face the other side this time.

Jasmine covered her lips while Jessy breath with a gulp.

" Take her out to the farm ,whip her a hundred strokes, strip her, she must work under the hot sun naked, an order from your Luna" She said and Jasmine gasped.

"Luna, she's still recovering " She said desperately.

Melantha turned her head to her as well.

"This one, whip her a hundred and fifty, she talks back at her Luna" Melantha said and Aeris's eyes widened.

"Don't hurt her" Aeris warned.

"You have no damn right to talk you slave" Melantha glared.

"I'll take her whip" Aeris agreed and Melantha paused.

"Fair enough, you shall whip her two hundred and fifty, plus the hard labor" Melantha declared and the guards nodded.

They began pulling Aeris out.

"No, no Luna, don't do this, I'll take my share, Pls don't hurt her than she already is," Jasmine begged desperately bowing at Melanthas feet.

"Luna, I'll take part in it, you can cut the punishment and divide it amongst us Pls" Jessy joined in the plea and Melantha laughed hard.

She took her eyes down to the ladies pleading with her and she kicked both their mouths.

They fell back at once and Melantha hissed walking away.

____

The guards got to the farm grounds where a lot of people where.

The onlookers stopped what they were doing to watch the movie that was about to unfold.

The guards pushed Aeris to the middle and she fell to the floor on her knees.

She hissed as the pains from her stomach hit her.

A guard came out from the middle of the guards with a dirty smirk on his face.

Immediately Aeris saw his face she groaned.

It was Rameses.

"We meet again pretty" He smirked and began fumbling with her dress.

He tore it off her body leaving her half naked and the onlookers gasped.

Some from pity, others from fascination, and others from pure dislike.

Rameses pushed a half naked Aeris so she palmer the ground, her knees to the floor like a dog.

Four guards came at once and the next moment the sound of whip cutting through the air filled the atmosphere.

Soft groans excaped her lips as the whip met with her platinum skin.

Her ash hair falling to her face.

Blood trailed out of her body as her skin broke, her wound reopening.

The wounds from the whips tearing open at each slash from the whip.

The pain searing in her.

Jasmine and Jessy could only cry out, as they watched their lady being flogged.

The onlookers watched, some from enjoyment and some from pity.

Melantha sat like a queen watching this unfold.

Shivani brought wine for her, pouring her a cup.

Melantha accepted the wine glass and began sipping.

She crossed her leg and smiled.

"" 226""

A guard counted and Aeris fell on her stomach, the wound opening more and blood pouring out.

She could barely breath as her injured body ached, she was still surprised she hadn't fallen unconscious yet.

Rameses harshly pulled her to kneel dog like again and Aeris slowly turned her head to see the people who cheered, jeered and sneered.

The one's who shook their head, hissed their teeth and bit their lips.

Her body had become a show to them, she was a show to these poeple.

She looked back down, her hair hiding her face as she fell on her stomach again.

She was pulled up and..

"234, 235," She was whipped the last.

Aeris fell weakly to the floor unable to move.

" Pull her up, now give her the rake, this farm must be neat" Melantha ordered and Aeris whimpered weakly bath in blood as she was pulled up roughly again.

It was dusk already and Aeris couldn't see clearly anymore.

Everything was a blur and she couldn't count how many times she fell down and was pulled up roughly.

She hadn't eaten, and she was trashed mercilessly, bleeding from her injuries and stomach all she wanted to do was faint.

Everyone suddenly began gasping and continued with the duties Aeris had almost completed for them.

Melantha gulped at his arrival uncrossing her legs.

A pair of feet walked into the farm house, his built body moving as his muscles flexed.

His fist tightened, the rough look on his face, a turn on.

His hair covered a corner of his eye and his unsmiling face was ever so handsome.

He stopped on the tracks to take on the look of the place.

His expression suddenly hardened, his golden eye, turning a burning fire of red, his teeth gritted.

The red metallic substance running down her body, especially the part he has spent the whole night trying to cover.

Her weak and disheveled state, and worse she was halfNAKED.

AERIS WAS HALF NAKED.

His breath came out at a shallow pace as he turned his gaze to Melantha, the glare on his face making him look like a scary demon.

Aeris stopped raking to look at him.
