Chapter 24
What’s that smell…? Rancid and choking. It’s a challenge just to breathe.
My head is pounding, and I still can’t see.
My body shakes along with what feels like a bumpy road under me. The rough bumps were what woke me. I am in
а сат.
Ah…right, I was out with Cassandra and…I was abducted?
Panic sets in.
“Cassandra?” I whisper hoarsely, my voice is m** by the bag over my head.
No answer.
The more I’m awake, the more fear settles within me.
My wolf is dormant, but my sense of smell is not entirely asleep with it. And I pick up the scent of at least six others. in the car with me.
Six male wolves that I didn’t know, but no trace of Ethan’s stepsister.
Is this all a trap? Did C** set this up?
But then, I persuaded myself not to come to the conclusion too quickly. She might also be a victim too…
Sitting here doing nothing isn’t going to help. I need to get some information.
“Who are you guys? And where are you taking me?” I ask, my voice clear and about as firm as I can make it.
What answers me is nothing more than raucous laughter. Based on the slight echoes, I’m currently in a truck.
“Are we s**d? What makes you think we’ll answer your questions?” I hear one voice call out. “Listen, b**h, in this car you’re just property. Not even the value of a w**”
Laughter rings through the car again.
“Hey now!” Another one calls out, laughing just the same. “We don’t know that last part yet. We owe it to her to at least try her out first!”
My stomach turns and fear curls up inside of me. Never in my life have I wished for my wolf more than I did than in this moment. I want my claws so that I could tear through these restraints.

“Shut up, b**h!” A third, h** voice says. His tone is threatening, and I have no doubt he meant what he says,
Stop asking questions, or I’ll have to make you do it.”
This time, I obey, because I have no interest in being beaten up, or getting my mouth taped,
After a moment, the car pulls to an abrupt stop. I hear them get out of the car one by one, and then someone grabs me roughly by my arm.
A burst of air hits me as my assailant pulls me out of the car roughly and my body hits the ground hard.
“Umph!” I groan in pain and shout.
“Oh honey,” a voice says next to my face. I recognize it’s the first man. He chuckles, “If you think that was rough, you have no idea of what’s coming your way. Up you go.”
I swallow the bile that rose to my throat as he drags me up by my hair. Being scared now won’t help me at all. I need to breathe. To think. I need to calm down.
I need to escape.
“Don’t even think of shifting and running away,” the man dragging my hair warns me. “There are six of us. And if you force us to shift into a wolf and chase you down, well, there’s no telling what our wolves would do to that pretty tail of yours.”
I hear a click of tongue and another man sounds excited, “Oh, but I would love a good chasing game, little b***h.”
B**ds! But I bite my lips hard.
Deep breath, and think. They don’t know she’s dormant. Maybe that can help me, somehow.
“Where are you taking me?” I ask again, trying my best to show that their words and taunts haven’t gotten to me.
If they want to hurt me, they would’ve done it already, which means that there’s something more going on.
“A fun place,” the second man laughs and licks his lips. “to meet with your friend. We’re going to have such a good time. I suggest you keep your mouth shut. No one is going to hear you, and you know screams and cries only get us more excited.”
A chill went down my bones. Friend?! Do they have C**a too?!
“Do you know who I am?!” I raise my voice so they all can hear me.
“Do you think we care? Little **h?” They laugh again as someone throws me over his shoulder and they start to
run.

“I’m King Ethan’s fiancee!” I finally can’t hold myself back and start shouting. “If he finds out-
“I’ve told you to shut up!” the man with the hoarse voice commanded as he struck me across the face over the bag.
Tears roll down my cheeks due to the pain, but before I could complain, a thick rope was shoved in between my lips and across around my head, forcing my mouth open.
“Umph…umph…” I try my best to shake my head, but there’s no use.
Then it seems that we’ve arrived at a large room, or perhaps a cave as I can smell the mud and moisture.
“Ariella!”
My eyes widen. It’s C**a’s voice!
However, almost immediately, her voice is also m**d. Those b**ds! They are also making her quiet!
I try to reach my arms to the source of her voice, but as soon as I move, my limbs are grabbed by hands as rough as clamps, which I’m sure has left bruises on my wrists. All I can hear is her being dragged away from me.
“Little w**e, you don’t know what’s in your future, don’t you?” the second, most p**d voice says, his stenchy breath blows on my face and all I want to do is puke. “Don’t worry, it’s going to hurt a little, but you’re going to lover it. We’re going to **k that little royal a**of yours and make you come like you’ve never come before…”
My breath catches in my throat and this time, I can no longer feign compose.
No… this isn’t happening…
Help! Someone, please help!
I shake my head desperately, but all it exchanges is the sinister laughters I’ve ever heard.
“Lilith
I watch with glee as those buffoons I hired drag Ariella into the cave. Oh how I love watching her being treated like the piece of garbage that she is.
I spent five years watching Marcus fawn over her while I had to work so hard to become his bride.
Selling her to the breeder auction almost made me climax. But then she became a **g nuisance again by somehow turning into a **g princess. Her of all people!
Once again I have to take matters into my own hands.

TUG 23
“Was it really necessary to hire such violent thugs, and so many of them?” C**a asks, a little waver in her voice. Her shrill voice makes me grit my teeth.
“We have to really scare her if we want her to leave for good, my dear sweet baby sister,” I reply to her with a sweet, caring voice. I brush the hair from her eyes the same way a mother would.
“You want her gone, don’t you? You want to be the one whom Ethan marries, right?”
“Yes…but…I don’t want her to get hurt. I just want her gone.”
1 repress a growl. **ra is so f***naive that it makes me sick sometimes. She does not understand how things work in this world, that power needs to be taken by any means necessary.
“She won’t get hurt, Cassy, a little bruised maybe but nothing else. The men I hired are professionals after all; they’ll make sure that she is well taken care of.”
“It’s just,” she whimpers as she rubs the bruise on her own wrists. Her clothes has been torn and shredded a bit, and there are some minor scratches and cuts on her body as the thugs just dragged her out of the cave to bring her to me. “They’ve really hurt me just now.”
I want to scoff. If this is what she calls “hurts”, she has no idea what real pain means. However, that’s not what she needs to know.
I pull her chin so that she looks directly into my eyes. “A little pain is worth it, C**y. You want to be Luna Queen, don’t you?”
She nods.
“You want Ethan to love you the way you love him, right?”
She nods again.
“Then trust me, because I want that for you as well. You are my baby sister, and it’s my job to make sure that your dreams are fulfilled.”
Ca**’s lip quivers but I can sense her protests are not yet quelled. For some annoying reason, she worries about Ariella, whom she hates.
“Now run, Ca**, you’ll need to have a solid alibi for Ethan when he discovers Ariella missing. I will take care of the
rest.”
I plant a small kiss on her forehead and make my way towards Brolan, the leader of the group, who’s been waiting on the side.
Goddess above he stinks! These f**g rogues have no concept of hygiene.

Chapter 24
“Were there any issues?” I ask.
The burly man saunters up to me, leering at my perfect body hungrily. Such a simple creature.
“None ma’am, we were in and out before her guards even knew she was gone,” he chuckles.
“Good. Make sure she’s unrecognizable!”
Brolan licks his lips. “My boys and I want to have a go with her before we slit her throat.”
Such simple creatures. I would prefer it if they just killed her and be done with it…however, the thought of her being used and passed around like a common w** sends a chill of delight down my spine.
“Do whatever you want, but don’t take too long. You only get paid once she is in pieces.”
Brolan grinned, his rotten teeth caused me to want to puke up my last meal.
“Come on boys!” he yells excitedly at his men as he enters back into the cave, “We have some tender young pussy
to fuck.”
“How about some pain first, boss? I like ’em a little battered before I feast ’em,” the bald one shouts in excitement, nearly salivating.
“Not too much, Krag!” the scarred one grunts, “I still want her to be a little bit pretty before I f*k her s**t out.” They all laughed as they gathered around that royal *h’s helpless form.
SLAP!
“How does it feel, your **e?”
SMACK! CRUNCH!
“NO! NO! PLEASE STOP! AHHH-”
“We’ll take our time, babe, but scream all you want, you f**g w**! Ha ha ha,” Brolan roars as he strikes her over and over. “The louder, the better…”
His men shriek with gleeful delight as they turn their time to rip off pieces of her clothes slowly.
They like to play with their toy. I glance at the wonderfully brutal sight before me and then turn to leave the cave in satisfaction.
It’s time for me to leave now. The less filth I had on my hands, the better.
After tonight, Ariella Loveta will be no more.
