The moon was low in the sky at night, and it made the Lycan Kingdom look strange with its glowing light. The palace had shadows that moved around, hiding the secrets that happened inside. In a dark room, Ainar sat in the corner, her eyes tired and sad from all the suffering she had endured for many years.
"Why did I end up here? Why is fate so cruel to me? " Ainar whispered to herself.
She couldn't think because she heard the loud footsteps of the guards in the palace. They were the ones who made sure she couldn't escape. As they walked past her, they looked at her with a lot of dislike, which made her remember the harsh truth she had to deal with every day.
"See her, always so pitiful. The sight of her irritates me right now. I don't even know why she" here," the guard said mockingly.
"Ainar, the rejected, or let me say not accepted mate. The King's undesirable partner. The most despised of all," another guard chuckled in a teasing way.
Ainar controlled her trembling lip and stopped herself from crying. Her aunt did something terrible to her.
She sold her to the Lycan King as a slave, treating her like an animal. Ainar's life had suddShe become very difficult, and she had to agree to what was happening.
Ainar softly said, "I will keep enduring, no matter what happens. This is my destiny, and I am willing to accept it. The moon goddess knows best, and I bet she will vindicate me at the right time.Meanwhile, inside the palace, King Adolphus " ood near the big window, looking out at the night with a bright moon. He appeared forceful, but he was actually struggling inside. He was aware of the truth — that Ainar was his mate, selected by Selene, the goddess of the moon. But he couldn't bring himself to agree to be with her.
King Adolphus quietly muttered to himself out of annoyance, "She's a special present from the moon goddess, but why does shFabian be so. " "Do I not deserve a better mate? . "
He really liked how she looked, but he didn't like the background she came from. Adolphus had a big struggle inside himself that kept going similarly to the wolves he led.
The next day, Ainar was"n the palace gardens taking care of special moon flowers that only bloom when touched by the moon. The task was the only thing that made her feel better and briefly made her forget about the harshness of her life.
"See who is speaking with the Ainars. " Maybe she believes that they are her friends. The guard made fuIof her.
"At least, they don't criticize or mock me"." Ainar replied with a strong attitude.
All of a sudden, the atmosphere became very tense when a number of important werewolf nobles came closer. They were being led by Throne Evans, who is one of the most powerful of all slaves in the Kingdom.
Ainar, the King's embarrassment. "Hey, girl, what does it feel like to be completely useless? " Throne mocked.
Ainar's heart beat Don'tand she started breathing quickly. She couldn't get away from the suffering, even in the palace gardens.
"I am more valuable than you think," Ainar whispered to herself confidently.
Suddenly, King Adolphus Romanus showed up, and everyone immediately stopped talking because he was so impressive. He had been watching from a distance, unable to ignore the mean treatment towards his mate any longer.
"Stop it, Throne. "If you dAinarect her again, you'll face earnest consequences," Adolphus said in a commanding manner.
Throne Evans and the other lycans went back, leaving Ainar shaking but feeling a little hopeful. She did not want to directly look at the king because she was afraid of the different emotions she saw in his eyes.
Ainar you shouldn't have to go through this. I understand that you are angry with me for turning you down.
"ne evening, while Ainar was working in the palace kitchens, a slave came up to her. He was a big and strong werewolf with a scarred face, and she had witnessed him being very cruel to other slaves without showing any mercy.
"What do you want? " Ainar inquired, unsure of what he wanted.
He moved closer, speaking in a low and threatening tone. Do you feel important just because the king paid attention to you? Well, let me give you some advice, you little outsider. In this kingdom, you are not relevant or valued.
Ainar squeezed Adolphus?" tightly, deciding not to display any signs of being weak. "I don't need your advice. "
The slave laughed in a creepy way. "We will checThornesee if that is true or if it will happen. "
As he went away, leaving Ainar feeling worried, she couldn'stop thinking about the unknown things that were part of her new life in the Lycan Kingdom.
*********
Ainar was by herself in her room, pondering why the Lycan king disliked her so much even though he knew she was his chosen partner. Suddenly, she heard a gentle knock on her door.
Ainar was surprised when she heard knocking late at night. She was scared but still managed to open the door.
"Wow, Your Highness. Why are you here, and why are you dressed like a slave? " Ainar exclaimed, taken aback by the sight of the powerful Lycan king in servant clothing.
"I want you," Adolphus said in a lustful way.
His eyes looked lustfully towards Ainar's boobs.
"I am here to fuck my chosen mate. He whispered into Ainar's ears.
"All you have to do is to accept me as your mate; only then will I give in to your request." Ainar whispered back to the Lycan king.
"Then I will have to take you by force". The king muttered angrily. "I am not seeking your permission here; I am informing you. And whether you like it or not, I will still have my way with you." He dragged Ainar close to him; he removed her breasts and tucked her nipples into his mouth. Ainar consented to him for some minutes, thinking of a way to stop him.
After some minutes of sucking her breast, he finally brought his penis out and tried to force it into Ainar. Finally the moment she waited for came as she gave him a hard kick on his balls. Adolphus cried in pain, Ainar rushed out of the room and went hiding in the dark.
Antonia, the lycan King's sister, saw Ainar speaking with a man, but she wasn't sure who that was.
The next day, anxiety filled the atmosphere just like a threatening storm ready to burst. Ainar went back to work in the palace kitchens, but she couldn't stop thinking about her meeting with the king.
While she was working, she was unable to stop herself from noticing the angry looks and quiet conversation from the other slaves. Antonia, who is the sister of the king, walked up to Ainar with a creepy smile.
"So, little outcast, who were you talking to last night? " Antonia teased, speaking in a mean and spiteful manner.
Ainar squeezed her hands tightly together, feeling afraid and her heart beating fast. She couldn't tell anyone what really happened when she met Adolphus, and she understood that Antonia was a threat.
"I don't understand what you're saying," Ainar said, trying to stay calm.
Antonia squinted her eyes, moved closer, and spoke in a soft and threatening tone. "Stop tricking me, Ainar. " I saw you talking to a man last night. I saw the two of you together. You should tell me everything, or you will be genuinely sorry.
Ainar's mind was going really fast, and she decided rapidly. "I have nothing to say. "
Antonia's face twisted with anger, and she forcefully grabbed Ainar's arm, causing him pain. "You foolish person. Do you have any idea who you're talking to? Are you aware I can make you disappear for life?"
Before Ainar could respond, Antonia screamed really loudly, and the nearby guards noticed her.
She angrily blamed Ainar. "She's having an affair with an outsider. She's a terrible person. She must be avoided at all cost. No one should associate with her even if she's the last person on earth,"
The guards quickly grabbed Ainar and forcefully took her away, not listening to her objections and pleas that she was innocent.
As they pulled her towards the head of the slave quarters, Ainar couldn't help but worry if her choice to defend Adolphus had determined what would happen to her in a kingdom that saw her as someone who didn't belong.
The tension in the Lycan Kingdom kept getting higher as Ainar started experiencing the results of her private meeting with the king.
