BIRDIE'S POV
"How long do you intend to sleep?" A voice said after she had rained cold water on me.
I rubbed my eyes, waking up to the stench of detergent and disinfectant. Cold seeped into my body, and the entire left side of my face felt swollen and tender to the touch
"Get up!" The woman said dragging me up from the floor.
I stumbled, not able to stand properly, bumping into the woman that had dragged me up.
She pushed me away from her as if I had a deadly virus. "Mind who you touch with those filthy hands of yours!" She exclaimed dusting her apparel.
I got up from the floor, trying to get my footing but I just wobbled and thumped back onto the floor.
"Bring her along." The woman said with an eye roll.
"Where am I?" I asked as two ladies came to assist me rise from the floor.
The woman spoke nothing.
"Where am..." I wanted to ask again when I recalled all that had happened. I was in Odin's pack. "Let me out!" I screamed, strength returning to my feet, letting go of the girls' hands that anchored me.
I looked around the room where I was being led away from, neither Vance nor Josephine were anywhere to be found.
I couldn't be here, I shouldn't be here. I turned to the door, racing for it, but was blocked by a guard.
"Thank the goddess I came prepared." The woman said folding her arms. "Let's move." She said to the guards and her girls.
Move where? Please, not Odin!
"Please let me out," I begged the woman, not wanting to stay here for the next second. "I beg of you." I pleaded.
"Save it!" She said not sparing me a glance. "There are better things to spend your breath on." She said walking towards a door.
One of the girls opened the door, stepping aside for the woman to step in, then she stepped in, followed by the guard, and then the second girl.
The woman dipped her head in gratitude as the guard dropped me on the bed in the room and left.
I tried to run after the guard and leave the room but was blocked by the woman.
"Behave yourself and make this easier for yourself, misbehave, and well..." She said shrugging.
I saw in her eyes, that she was not the least bit joking. Odin was not here, so the least I had to do was to stay still and see what the woman wanted to do.
"Get her prepared." The woman said to the girls.
"For what?" I asked taking a step back as the girls walked towards me. She didn't answer. She grabbed me into the bathroom, bathed me, and dressed me in what seemed like maid attire.
All this hassle just for a maid? I heaved an inaudible sigh of relief.
"Let's move it!" She said, walking to the door.
I walked out of the room with the three of them, glad that they didn't rough-handle me. We kept walking till we got to a huge building in front of us that was secluded from the main pack.
It was the most beautiful and biggest of all the houses around. Let it not be what I'm thinking.
"Where are we?" I asked as they continued walking.
"Stop talking, Keep walking." The woman said behind me.
I kept mute and obeyed her. We walked into the house, it was beautiful but the knot in my stomach was too tight for me to bath in it's beauty.
The .servants, maids and guards all bowed to the woman as we walked on. With every passing minute, the knot tightened till we made it to our destination, a door.
"Go in." The woman said.
"Are you not coming with me?" I asked her, my piecing everything together.
"The lord only wants to see you." She said with a smirk on her face.
Odin!
"No!" I yelled just as the door opened to a guard that pulled me inside the room.
"Odin." I said under my breath immediately I sighted where he was.
He was seated at a desk in his room, shirtless.
I turned my face away from him as soon as our eyes met. This man killed my father and plundered my pack. And for some reason, he's my mate too?
"Your rebellion involves mannerless attitude too. It's alpha Odin to you." He said, his voice resonating the room.
I stood there, fear engulfing me.
"Oh persimmon." He said to me. "You don't even greet your elders." He chuckled, getting up from the seat.
He was a tall man with an intimidating aura. I turned around and ran to the door, trying to open it. Locked!
"Somebody!" I yelled. "Somebody help!" I screamed banging the door.
"That is of no use." I heard him say right behind ms, his breath against my ear. He had moved so fast!
I recoiled, pushing him away. He didn't bulge at the push but just stood there looking at me with a face void of expression. He raised a hand and touched the swollen side of my face.
"Aww, how sad. If you had been good, you wouldn't end up with this now." He said, mock sympathy in his voice.
His touch burned. Maybe it was smt body rejecting him, or just the fact that my face hurt like mad.
"Don't touch me." I hissed in anger.
"What ever it is you want to do, do it. Just know that you are now my personal slave." He said walking back to his seat.
"Where are my siblings?" I spat still keeping my distance.
"Take today off to familiarize yourself with the space." He sat down. "I don't give these offers often." He said taking up his glass of champagne. "You may leave now." He said after taking a sip.
"Where are my siblings?" I asked again walking closer to him.
Wrong move!
He got up and in a flash, I was against the door, my hands held tightly behind me.
"If you question me one last time." He growled. "You so will not like the outcome. Know your place." He whispered then let me go.
"Yes." He said to the knock in the door, it was the same woman. "Show her to where she is to stay." He said without looking at her.
She bowed and took me out.
****
The next days that followed were like a dream. A fever dream. I was forced to be Odin's personal slave.
On paper it sounded okay. I got to live in his mansion, and all of that. But it was pure f*****g hell. He worked me to the bone, till I could barely stand up from the exhaustion.
Three days later and I felt I would actually die in this place. I couldn't remember the last time I had a decent meal. And sometimes Odin would show me my siblings as they were being tortured. He would laugh and drink with his high ranking officials while I cried my eyes out, my heart shattering because of the pain my siblings were in.
If I were stronger I could save them. If I were stronger, I would even kill this monster of a man.
Tonight I was so tired I was falling asleep while scrubbing the floors. My hands were raw and decorated with blisters and wounds. Each time I dipped my hand back into the cleaning water, it stung and made me hiss in pain.
I heard footsteps behind me and turned. My heart tanked as Odin walked into the hall, laying to waste my hours of meticulous work.
"Are you done?" He asked, standing in front of me.
I hated this angle. On my knees, scrubbing the floors while he stared down at me like I was a pest.
"No." I grumbled. As he can f*****g see.
He grabbed my arm and yanked me up roughly. "That's enough of your f*****g attitude." He said angrily.
"Let me go!" I screamed at him.
He didn't. He dragged me through the halls and by the looks of it to his bedroom. My stomach turned icy and I struggled harder against his hold.
He threw me on the floor and stalked up to me before I had a chance to run away. "Time for your other duties, persimmon." He said with a wicked smirk.
My heart filled with fear and I backed away from him. "No.." I gasped. "No! You can't do this!"
He grabbed my ankle and pulled me to him. Without warning me flipped me over and with one hand pressed the side of my face into the cold marble floors.
"Why not?" He asked, the sound of my clothes being torn off filled the air. "Are you a virgin or what?"
My eyes stung with his words. My heart raced so hard it would explode and I won't be surprised.
"I'm your mate!" I screamed out. "You can't do this!"
He laughed coldly. "Persimmon, mate or not, nothing will stop this for happening."
"How can you...."
He forced my body into a painful arch. I felt the cold air on my naked lower half and a sob choked out of my lips.
"Scream if you want. It won't ruin anything. Not for me at least." His words were so cold and cruel.
No one heard my screams. No one came.
