CHAPTER TEN

Olivia grabbed Sarah's hand tightly before speaking. "I wouldn't think of doing that if I was you. Is it part of your upbringing to act rash at the slightest provocation?" 

Sarah had an history of punishing anybody who dared to cross her. Being belittled like this instantly made her face turn red in anger. "Let go of my hand if you don't want to die right now, Bitch. You should be on your knees thanking me for wanting to lay my hands on someone like you." 

'On her knees thanking Sarah?' Olivia had never heard such a thing before. She released Sarah's hand instantly making her loose her balance and almost fall to the ground. 

Sarah screamed the moment she found her balance. "What the hell are you all standing there and staring like fools? Get her, I would teach her a good lesson… a lesson she would never forget." Sarah yelled as the guards obeyed Her command and surrounded Olivia.

Olivia's finger slowly clenched into a ball when the servant held her tightly. She tried to free herself from there hold but they were just to strong. "I want to tell you this for free that I would forgive you for acting dumb right now, Sarah. Let me remind you that I would be your future Luna. Treating me like this wouldn't be a great start for you… would it?" 

Sarah was clearly not ready to listen to Olivia blab no sense. She was just too angry right now, that she snatched the whip from the guards hands and swung it in the air. "I can't believe it that you think, you would ever be a Luna of this pack. Do you really think that Ryan would live forever? Do you think that marrying him means you have become a golden assets around here? Let me tell you. If not for the fact that he is been pitied, he would have been kicked out of the North Prime Pack a long time ago. His existence only brings shame to our Pack and family." 

"And don't you think that because you are with the Alpha means I won't hit you. Even if you had his child… I would still punish you." Sarah yelled as she whipped Olivia with her entire strength. Olivia closed her eyes and felt the burning pain on her arm. A purple lash mark instantly appeared on her skin, looking very striking.

Sarah smiled in contentment while she swirled her hair behind her back. She made the guards put Olivia on her knees before speaking. "You really have some nerves thinking you could speak to me in such manner. Even if Ryan himself was here, he wouldn't dare do anything if I beat you to death… that cursed lunatic doesn't have a heart." 

She raised her hand to lash at Olivia again, but the lash did not land on Olivia's body this time. Olivia had closed her eyes, clearly anticipating the pain that never came. She slowly opened her eyes, and her eyes landed on a man who appeared from nowhere, holding Sarah's wrist. 

Sarah's expression was both shocked and angry. "You… you let me go right now." She demanded angrily.

The young man smiled before speaking. "You should be thankful that I am being soft with you." 

Sarah gritted her teeth and retorted. "Who the hell are you to speak to me in such manner?" She yelled out in frustration.

Before she could say something, a chilling voice interrupted. "Micheal, let her wrist go." The young man said without hesitation, with a sudden force, Sarah let out a cry of pain. 

"My… my hand." 

Olivia heard the sound that made her eyes wide. The man called Michael seemed to have dislocated Sarah's hands. Suddenly, the entire place was quiet and Olivia turned around and saw Ryan standing not far away. He looked at Sarah with an expressionless face, as it he was looking at something beyond disgusting. "I would like to hear you say it again." 

Sarah looked at him while she shudderd. She could feel a sense of dread from the bottom of her heart.

She had lost all the confidence she had while talking to Olivia as she stuttered. "A…Alpha I… I didn't mean any of what I said. 

The servant around were all shocked. Sarah had never softened in front of anyone before, yet today she seemed clearly afraid of Ryan. 

Ryan walked up to Sarah and spoke. "Let me help you repeat it… you said that even if I was standing right here, you could beat her to death with the whip and I wouldn't say anything, right?"

He looked at Sarah, who couldn't hold the whip that had fallen to the ground because of her now dislocated wrist. "Why don't you try whipping her while I watch and then you can find out if I am capable of doing nothing."

Sarah trembled in fear and said. "I… I didn't honestly mean what I was saying. I was just blabbing nonsense. Please… please I'm sorry." 

How could Ryan be so terrifying with that look. He had no expression on his face and didn't say anything harsh but Sarah's whole body was trembling. It seemed like she could tear apart in seconds. 

"Didn't you hear what I just said?" Ryan yelled out loudly. 

Sarah shuddered and tried not to cry. She hurriedly picked up the whip, held it tightly in her hands despite the pain emitting from her dislocated hands, "I… I was wrong but I promise that I won't do it again." 

"You won't do it again?" Ryan sneered and suddenly snatched the whip from her hand. Sarah stumbled and fell to the ground. 

Without even looking at her, Ryan turned to Olivia and spoke. "Get on you feet and come here." 

Olivia was afraid of Ryan and she would have preferred having to face Sarah without him intervening but she dared not disobey him. So she moved towards him before speaking. "M..my Alpha…" 

Ryan's gaze swept over her and noticed the glaring whip mark on her arm. His eyebrow furrowed in anger and he spoke. "Tell me, are you stupid? I hate weakness… how can you just stand there and let her hit you?" 

Olivia stood there not knowing what exactly to say. She thought it was better to mind her own business. If she got into a fight with Sarah, her life in the North Prime pack would only become so difficult. It was better to take a little loss now and seek her full revenge on Sarah later. 

Seeing that Olivia remained silent, Ryan handed her the whip and spoke. "Since she is so brave to hit you… hit her back."

"What?" Olivia spat out in shock. 

"Don't you understand what I had just said?" Ryan questioned. 

Olivia glared at Ryan like he had lost a nut in his head. "do you want me to really hit her?"

"Yes… do it." He said crossing his arms..
