Chapter 10 I am going to ruin your face
Two men escorted Amy to a white house. It was a richly furnished house, with a thick carpet on the floor, and every piece of furniture in the room looked gilded and luxurious. This was the house shared by Alpha and Luna.
Linda forces Amy to kneel in the middle of the hall. At this moment Lydia was sitting on a red leather sofa, with a delicate tea-cup in one hand. She blew leisurely on the hot air rising from the teacup, while she questioned Amy in a quiet tone.
"You are the slave that my husband bought back from the auction?"
"Yes." Amy answered cautiously, her head bowed.
"What is your name?"
"My name is Amy."
"I hear you sleep in Alpha's room?" Lydia put down her teacup, crossed herself, and stared at Amy, her arms folded across her breast.
"YE.... . Yes," Amy felt a coldness was enveloping her body.
"How dare you seduce Alpha?" said Lydia in a stern voice.
"No, I didn't.... " Amy looked up when she met Lydia's sharp and jealous gaze.
"How dare you weasel your way out of this?" Lydia grunted disdainfully, "I've seen too many slaves like you trying to climb into their master's bed whenever they find the opportunity. Tell me the truth or I will punish you."
"I didn't seduce Alpha," Amy explained.
"Then why did Alpha keep you in his room?" Lydia questioned.
"I was hurt and I woke up and realized I was in Alpha's room." Amy whispered.
"Let me guess what you did. " Lydia glared at Amy, "I heard you used to seduce Taylor when you were in training school, but he turned you down. When you come to the Hall and meet Taylor, you open your legs to him again, and when he rejects you again, you take advantage of Alpha's passing and accuse Taylor of raping you. You caused Taylor to be beaten up by Alpha, and you played the role of the underdog to gain Alpha's sympathy. That way you could climb into Alpha's bed without any problems, right?"
"No. The truth is Taylor tried to rape me and Alpha just happened to save me." Amy cannot believe that Taylor has turned right and wrong, that he has gone from being an abuser to a victim.
Lydia fell silent, her well-made face turning somber. Instantly, the atmosphere in the room stiffened.
"Do you think we will believe what a slave says?" At this moment, Linda, who was standing behind Lydia, interjected, "In my opinion, you are the one who deliberately seduced Taylor when he was passing by, and then deliberately framed Taylor when Alpha found out. You are really an abominable slave."
Amy already knew that no one would believe her even if she told the truth. Lydia only wanted a reason to punish her.
"Tyler tried to rape me." Amy's tone was low but firm.
"And now you won't admit your fault. You're a hard-talking slave." Lydia commented, "Linda, teach her a lesson."
So Linda walked over to Amy. She raised her hand and slapped Amy hard in the face several times in quick succession. Linda did not stop until Amy's head was buzzing and blood was pouring from the corners of her mouth.
"Luna said it was your fault. It was your fault. If you don't want to be dumped twice, you should plead for Luna's forgiveness." Linda said viciously.
The truth is, what was Amy's fault? But Luna had the same right as Alpha to punish the slave. Even without the Alpha's approval, Luna can expel Amy from the pack.
No, if Amy was thrown out of the Hall it would mean that she would be a second castaway slave. Then she could only be sent to the mines for hard labor. That place is hell for werewolves.
Amy, surrender to Luna.
No. I'm not wrong!
Amy was in a tangle.
"Hurry up and pray for Luna's forgiveness!" Linda shouted, "Admit to Luna that this is all your fault!"
"What I said was the truth." Amy said stubbornly.
Lydia stared at Amy with both eyes as she took Amy's chin in her red nail-polish-covered hands. As Amy looked into Lydia's eyes, Amy saw the anger burning in them.
"No wonder my husband is mesmerized by you." Lydia looks at Amy and says, "What a beautiful face. Maybe I should leave something on that face that you will never forget!"
Amy is afraid. She doesn't know what will happen next
"Linda, it is time to mark this slave." Lydia said coldly, "Mark it right here."
Amy knew that the marks Lydia was speaking of were those of slaves, each of whom had their master's name branded on their hands. And Amy's master's name was Alpha Gavin .
"Yes, Luna." Linda exits the room. When she returned, she had an iron bucket in her hand.
Lydia placed the iron bucket on the floor, and Amy saw the red-hot charcoal burning in the iron grate. Linda inserted a piece of iron lettering into the charcoal, and when the iron burned red, she would imprint it on Amy's arm.
"So that this slave can remember the wrongs she has done." Lydia said, "You must put this mark on her face."
"No." Amy screamed in horror, "It's against the rules."
The glowing red iron would not only ruin Amy's face, it would even kill her.
"Here, I'm in charge.." Lydia glared at Amy.
Amy saw Linda move a step closer to her and lift the red-hot iron. No, do not come any nearer.
So Amy instinctively tried to run out the door, but Linda called out to the guards outside.
"Someone, grab the girl."
A tall guard rushed in and grabbed Amy, pinning her to the floor. Half of Amy's face was pinned to the carpet, the other side facing overhead.
Linda walked up to Amy with a sinister smile. She lifted the iron to the tip of her nose and waved it deliberately.
"You are going to have a beautiful sight on your face." " said Linda, lifting the reddened iron in her hand.
"No." Amy reached up and grabbed Linda's wrist with one hand to fight her off.
"Damn slave, how dare you defy me." Linda yelled at Amy as the force in her hand heaved downward, and Amy could feel a searing heat closing over Amy's face.
"Linda, move faster." Lydia urged impatiently, "Can't you even handle a slave?"
"Someone quickly tie this slave's hands." Linda said.
Then another guard came in and grabbed Amy's hands. Amy's whole body was firmly under the control of the two guards. Amy was powerless to resist. The heat from the glowing red iron stung her eyes.
