A Slave to His Darkness

Breakfast

(Trigger warning a little violent)

Steph pov:

The next morning, I woke up alone. I noticed a note beside me.

Little Wolf. I didn't want to wake you. I will be at training, and YOU will meet me down for breakfast at 9 am. Be on your best behavior. If not, I will be looking forward to punishing you later. -Master

Ripping up the note, I went and took a shower. Seeing I only have an hour until breakfast. I didn't want to test his patients this early in the morning. Fear creeped up within me as I wondered what other punishments he could put me through.

Deciding what to wear lost in my thoughts. A knock on the door startled me.

"Who is it, I said

"It's your sister. Open the damn door." Nikki shouted.

Nikki entered and gave me a tight hug." I was worried about you all night." Nikki said.

"I'm fine, I promise." I said with a fake smile.

Nikki raised her eyebrow and ignored my statement. "Hurry up, we will be late for breakfast. I figured we could walk down together. Jordan has only been away for a few hours, and I already miss him."

She pulled out one of my rompers and tossed it to me. Looking at her with shock. She pulled out the most reveling one I had. "No way in hell, Nikki. I can't wear this to meet the packs, Kingdom people."

Rolling her eyes. "You are gorgeous, sister. No shame in flaunting what you got." You will be the new Queen of all the packs in Canada. Let them admire your beauty and be jealous of you."

Looking at her with confusion. I'm thinking to myself, I thought the brothers were splitting the country. In the same thought. Zach never had a rule to what I could and could not wear. "F*ck it." I said out loud.

Putting on the romper. It was a low v-neck with thin straps. The top was a little tan with black leaves printed, and the bottom half was all black. It was fully open in the back to show off my flower lilly tattoo that started in the mild of my spin and wrapped around to my right hip down to front of my thigh. The tattoo peaked out from the bottom of the ropmer shorts. My butt was indeed a perfect peach that made the romper look a little shorter on me than other women. I let my long hair fall freely down. It's normally a beach wave look and came down to the middle of my back. If Zach freaks out about how I am dressed, then my hair will hide most of my bare back.

Nikki was wearing a little pink sun dress and was putting her hair in a messy bun. "What is that as I pointed to her neck."

"Finally, you noticed. With love in her eyes She yelled, "I am fully mated."

I wasn't going to ruin her excitement, but in the back of my mind.I recalled hearing that Jordan was a f*ckboy and very flirtatious. I would have to keep a close eye on him. He better not break her heart.

Holding onto both of her hands, I smiled and told her, "I was so happy for her.

Feeling a little nervous, I said, "We better get down there before we get in trouble.

Nikki laughed a yeah, right!" and we made our to the dining hall.

I wanted to tell her so badly what happened to me last night. It was one of Zach's rules that I couldn't. I will find a way to tell her. Nikki is the only person who knows all my secrets. I know she would keep this one, too. When the time is right, I would tell her everything.

Walking into the dining hall.Nikki left me there frozen as she ran up to Jordan and into his arms. Looking around the dining room, my eyes met Zachs. He eyes changed from mountain blue to the darkest grey. He was breathing heavily, and his anger rose quickly. He was p***ed! Ignoring his father, who was talking to him. He stood up and stormed over to me. Snatching up my arm and pulling me out of the dining hall with force. Trying not to trip over my feet as we left. I knew I would have a bruise where he held tightly on my arm.

"What are you doing?" I yelled.

"What the f**k are you wearing." Zach yelled back with anger.

"In the stupid rules you gave me. Not once did you mention I couldn't wear what I wanted. What is so bad about my outfit." I stated.

Zach inched closer to my face. I could feel his hot minty breath next to my ear." You want to flant your body for everyone to see. You look like f**king trash!!" It's too late for you to go change. Everyone has already seen you." Zach said with a scowl.

I stood my ground, not giving him the satisfaction, that his words cut deep with hurt. I pushed him as hard as I could and told him to" F**k off." I knew I was making him even more mad than what he was. I didn't care.

He clenched his fist and, within seconds, slapped me across my face. He hit me. He actually hit me. My tears fell down to the buring feeling on my cheek.

Zach told me, "Get your sh*t together before you come back into the dining hall. My demon will deal with you later." He then stormed off, letting me cry alone.

Willow said nothing but made the side of my face back to normal. I could feel the pitty and betrayal she felt.

I did what he said. I pulled myself together and held my head high when I re-entered the hall. I made my way to the empty seat next to Zach. I couldn't even look at him. I refuse to.

Nikki was in a full conversation with King Marty. Jordan looked at his brother Zach , then back to me. I could see a flash of sorrow in his before smiling gently at me.

Zach started to pile my plate with food. He leaned in close and said," Eat!"

I nodded my head yes, still not looking at him. I began to eat even though I didn't have an appetite anymore.

Jordan suggested that Nikki and I wander about the castle to get the feel of the layout. I wouldn't mind exploring myself. I really wanted to walk through the garden and feel peaceful again.

"NO!" Zach growled

"Come on. We will be cooped up in the office for a few hours. Let the girls have a little fun." Jordan said with a smirk. Making Nikki giggle.

"I have unfinished business to discuss with Stephanie." Zach explained. "They can explore tomorrow and that is final."

Zach got up and asked me to walk with him. Unsure if I should go with him or not. I hesitated before I finally stood up. I smiled at Nikki and Jordan before I said my goodbye.
