Amanda's POVObeying his command, I stripped myself and was left naked before him. He glanced over me, then looked away and sipped his drink.As I stood naked before him, I felt like a worthless rag. Maybe I made the wrong choice; I should have chosen death instead.“Come closer,” he urged, and I swallowed hard before taking steps closer to him. When I got too close, I saw him settle his gaze on my breasts, and I felt so embarrassed that I had to look away.“Go lay on the table on your back,” he ordered, and my feet obeyed. I walked towards the large desk, and this time, the table was cleared; there was nothing on it.I climbed onto the table and lay on my back, waiting for his next action.Soon, he got up from his seat, walked over to a drawer, took something out of it, and approached me. When he reached the table, he made me sit on the table, and our eyes met, but he ignored me and took out a blindfold.“What…” I began, but he didn’t respond; instead, he blindfolded me. Everywhere b

Alpha Edward’s POVA knock came on the door, and I asked the person in. A maid rushed in and bowed.“What is it?” I groaned, irritated by her presence. I didn’t want to see or talk to anyone“My lord, the young lady has passed out,” she announced, and I looked her way.“She fainted?” I asked to be sure I heard her right.“Yes, she fainted, and we have woken her up, but she seems so weak. Should she continue to kneel under the sun, or should we send her in and clean her up?” The maid asked, and I went silent.Realizing she had fainted meant the punishment was severe, which was what I wanted, but I didn’t want to push her beyond her limit so she wouldn’t die. I can’t let her die.“Take her back in, clean her up, and send her back to her cell,” I instructed, and the maid nodded before leaving.After she left, I took a long sip of my drink. For the past three days, I have been wallowing in pain while getting drunk in my chambers. I couldn’t sleep, nor could I attend to the duty of the pac

Alpha Edward’s POVReturning to my chambers, I grabbed a bottle of whiskey and gulped down a large quantity into my mouth. Groaning, I sat on the couch but realized I was restless. My mind kept drawing me to her, and no matter how hard I tried to ignore it, I couldn’t.I sighed and took more sips, but I was still restless. I imagined the pain she would go through, and heaven knows what type of lash my men would use on her.I panicked at the thought that she wouldn’t survive the torture. What if she dies? The thought frightened me, and I had to jump to my feet. Dashing out of my chambers, I made my way to the backyard, and as I got closer, I noticed I wasn’t hearing her cries or screams. The thought of that made my heart pound in my chest. What if she was already dead?Panicking, I hurried my steps. Reaching the backyard, I was surprised to see her in the arms of Matthew. He carried her and approached me.I raised a brow and looked at him, then at Amanda, who was in his arms. Her eyes

Amanda's POVI couldn’t explain why I did what I did, but out of impulse, I acted, and I regretted nothing. Bam! A slap landed on my cheek, sending a series of pains down my body, but I didn’t care; I was already getting used to it. The guard landed another one on me, sending me to the ground.“Stop!” Alpha Edward commanded the guard, who wanted to land more hits. Feeling frustrated and tired, I looked at Alpha Edward's face, and our glances interlocked. The anger in his eyes was evident, and I knew I was in deep trouble, but I couldn't care less. What would he do to me that he hadn’t done before?“Take her back to her cell,” he ordered, but that was not what I expected from him. Obeying his words, the guard yanked me up from the ground and dragged me away, not minding that I was badly injured.I was thrown into my cell gate while the guard glared at me before leaving. Sighing with discomfort, I slowly sat on the floor and rested my back on the wall. The pain from my wounded leg was

Amanda's POV“You can't die. I don't want you to die!” Those pleading words echoed in my head as I slowly opened my eyes. I blinked my eyelashes as it took me a few seconds to recognize where I actually was. I recognized the woman seated before me as the healer who healed me in the cell, and then I noticed Alpha Edward's aunt standing beside the healer.“You are awake,” the healer sounded relieved, and out of curiosity, my eyes moved around the room and met those of Alpha Edward, who was leaning against the wall. I gulped in fear as I recalled what had happened. Unable to hold his gaze, I looked away and inspected my wounded chest, only to realize the injury was gone. My eyes went down to my wounded leg, and I realized it was also healed; even the bandages were gone, and all that was left was a tiny invisible mark.“You gave me a hard time healing you. How were you able to resist my abilities?” The healer asked, and I looked up at her. “Resist your healing abilities?” I asked, confus
