Punishment

Yolanda's POV.
My heartbeat fastened as my ears were wide open to hear the second reason he saved me. I knew that he can't just do that without a rigid reason.
His gaze focused on me for a while before he looked off.
"Tie her up, I'm leaving with her." He ordered his guards, but that's not what I expected.
I wanted to hear him explain the second reason before me, it shouldn't be a secret.
"The second reason should be with me alone, but even at that, you'll be my slave till eternity." His lips pulled into a devilish smile. "I'm only doing this because of your act of benevolence when we were imprisoned."
"It's not our agreement either. You've gone against the first one, and now you're going against this too. You shouldn't hide the reason to me right?" I referred to him in a polite manner, besides, he's the king, and I wouldn't want to get hurt by his guards.
He sighed but said nothing to me,rather he walked out after giving a signal to his guards to bring me forward.
My hands got tied with a second rope and it hurt darn much, then they pulled me up and drew me out of the building.
I couldn't believe my eyes while we were leaving, a lot of our people already lost their lives because of me. This is the reason I must do everything possible to avenge them.
The distance between Beckham clan and Midnight Raiders Pack was like eternity, the ropes used on me already pierced into my skin that it caused a sore.
The werewolf Alpha never said a word to me, not even a glance. At this point, I was well convinced that he never loved me. He was only faking those feelings just to be set free from my mother's captive.
After several hours of walking through the bushes and woods, we arrived at their pack and I'd say that it's awesome.
"Welcome to Midnight Raiders Pack, you daughter of a witch." I heard the Alpha's voice referring to me.
He dropped his sword on the palm of a guard and walked closer to me. "Like I said earlier, you're here to serve me as a slave." He whispered, causing me to swallow my saliva.
I bet that he lacks conscience.
"Tie her to that pole and give her ten lashes of cane while I watch. That will be her first punishment as a slave." He ordered his guards.
I fell to my knees, "Don't do this to me please."
"I have no choice." He snapped and looked off at my face.
The guards tied me to the pole as he ordered and one of them drew out his cane. The pain I got from each lash was so intense that I wished for Death.
He walked closer to me and rubbed his finger on my lips, staring into my eyes like the first day he fell for me.
"You aren't the only one who survived right?" His voice was so calm that I could be deceived easily to answer such a freaky question.
I shook my head, "That's a difficult question to answer."
"One more lash." He referred to the guard.
I felt a heavy whip on my back this time, it was darn painful than the first seven I had received.
"Are you going to tell the truth? Where is Salome, your mother, and the rest in the higher ranks? I never came in sight with them." He tried to pull out a reply from my lips.
My heart was too heavy to give a reply to that question, not after he betrayed my trust.
"I was imprisoned after you were released, I didn't care because I thought you would get me out of the prison by marriage. But you did otherwise." I paused and licked my lips. "How will I know the survivors while in that cell?"
"And who unlocked the cell for you?"
He was so mean, the look on his face revealed it all.
"The maid your guard killed before me." I replied to him, but he seemed not to believe me at all.
He smirked his face and signaled the guard to start from where he stopped. I was given the last two strokes of cane.
The weakness in me was obvious, and I could see the gathering around me.
"Those questions, are they the second reason you set me free?" My voice slacking down.
He narrowed his eyes, "You said so."
"Then I'm sorry, you'll be disappointed." I slammed, but a heavy slap landed on my face as a warning not to speak to him that way.
My life was already in bitterness right from Beckham. I have never been loved by anyone, not even by my own people.
The only one who showed me that love was my mother, but the others detest me because I was adopted and I found no issues with that.
I watched as the people murmured because of me, many were using swear words on me which I hated most, but I could do nothing.
I wasn't tied, but the weakness in me was much that I might pass out if time wasn't taken.
The king stood with one of his men in discussion when my eyes met him. I was so grieved that the only man I loved from the depth of my heart toyed with my feelings.
What a nuisance.
I owe my people vengeance, and I'll do everything it takes to win his heart before taking action.
Midnight Raiders Pack will regret being in existence after I'm done with them.
He walked closer to me and squatted down, but said nothing other than revealing how frustrating his looks were.
"Chain her. The people should do whatever they want to her at this moment." He ordered the guards behind me.
My eyes widened on hearing that. "You mean they should kill me if they wanted?" I questioned him anxiously, I didn't want to die yet until I pay the Beckham clan the debt I'm owing them.
He sighed and shook his head. "They can't kill you without my order, besides you're still useful to me." He paused and transfixed his palms on his waist before he continued. "Henceforth, you're a slave, and these are the punishments you have to pass through as a slave."
Fuck! I never knew being a slave was equal to hell, as I watched them throw so many rotten fruits, vegetables and dirty waters including stones on me.
I felt disgusted and abandoned. If this was what I was going to pass through in his hands, he would have killed me immediately for this humiliation was worse than Death.
After so many minutes of silence, I heard the order I wished not to hear from him.
"Throw her into the dungeon, three days without food or water."
It was certain to me this time that I wouldn't survive there.
