Chapter 245
Will was a timid boy when he was little. He was sweet, a typical peacemaker among those shifters, who would love to brawl and talk loudly.
A decade of slavery didn’t seem to curb that trait in him, though he was no longer as timid as before and became more outspoken, those years broke something in him, just like the others.
And right now, the way Princess Osana stared at him and touched him, forced him to relive the nightmare again. He was too disdainfully familiar with such gaze and touch. It suffocated him.
“My Princess, I will accept anything you give me that you see fit.” Will balled his fists tightly, until he could feel his claws stab into his palms, in order to stop himself from murdering this woman. The very sight of her repulsed him.
“Since you saved me, why don’t I give myself to you as your reward?” She smirked coquettishly and tilted her head. She acted like she was in her twenties, though decades had passed since she was that age.
Will trembled, his eyes stung, as image after image flashed before his eyes.
He thought he would be free once Alpha Cane took over the Howling Wolf pack again, but what had happened still left a huge scar on him and he didn’t feel like he would be the same, but now he found himself in such a situation again and he was stuck, hopeless, unable to fight back.
“I will not dare…” Will said, his voice was so small, he could no longer keep up with his pretense to be calm.
Yet, this was the sight that aroused the Princess, she became even bolder when she took off her robes. She wasn’t wearing anything underneath.
“I am not used to taking back words that I have already said, so I hope you won’t either.” Will had said that he would accept anything that was given to him and right now, Princess Osana wanted to give herself to him.
She made her advance and raised her hand to touch him, but out of instinct, Will slapped her hand away, so hard, which in the process injured her hand, as blood oozed out from the wound. The sight was disturbing, especially when he realized what he had done.
Will had actually clawed her, he was so defensive and once he felt he was threatened, his first instinct was to fight.
Yet, the sight of blood on Princess Osana’s hand, slapped him back to reality. Her blood dripped onto the carpeted floor and stained it.
“Pr- princess, I didn’t mean…” The words died in his mouth. He meant it. He wanted to kill her, but his sanity screamed at him, reminding the consequences of his actions.
Meanwhile, Princess Osana was shocked, but then her lips curled into a wicked smile. “I have given myself to you, but not only do you not appreciate being able to share a bed with a royal family member, but you dare to hurt me. Do you know the consequences of hurting a royal family member?”
Will was absolutely aware of that, after all, that was the reason they had been summoned to the palace to begin with this time around.
“Can you imagine what the King would do to your precious alpha and pitiful pack if my king brother learned about how you showed your claws and injured his little sister?” Princess Osana enjoyed the sight of Will, she knew how to tame a young man like him. Fear always worked on them to keep them in line and bend to her will.
“I saved your life!” Will growled in a low voice. He should have let those monsters maul her and rip her filthy body apart!
Meanwhile, the wound on Princess Osana’s hand started to heal.
“And now you are a threat to my life,” she said simply.
A myriad of emotions flashed in Will’s eyes, as he stared straight into the Princess’s eyes. She was naked before him and even though she was almost two decades older than him, she kept her body in good shape.
Yet, when Will finally spoke, his eyes dimmed, they were empty, as if there was no more emotion that he could feel. “Kill me, Princess. If it pleases you, you may kill me.”
Hearing that, Princess Osana laughed again, she liked this man so much now. The desperate words that he said were something that rang beautifully in her ears. Nowadays, no men showed such utter despair, but at the same time, Will fought himself to not kill the Princess. She could see how his claws emerged dangerously and stabbed into his palms, as it drew blood.
It was in the middle of winter, but the room was so warm, as the bright fireplace raised the temperature, yet Will could only feel the coldness.
“Do you really think your death will solve it? Can’t you see this situation clearly?” Princess Osana tilted her head, reached for her hair and let it cascade down her body. She had brown, long hair that covered her nakedness and the light from the fireplace gave an illusion of how beautiful and seductive she was in her youth.
“You are in my room. I am naked and you hurt me.” She listed out ’his offenses’ languidly.
Will could be accused of forcing himself on her and the King would twist and make the best of this situation to press Cane down and get a hold of the Howling Wolf and the Blue Moon packs. Of course, the King didn’t care about the people, he only cared about the mines.
“Could you bear those consequences? Will your conscience allow it?” Princess Osana moved forward and ran her fingers down his cheek. He flinched again, but didn’t attack her. “Kneel.”
Will knew what was coming next, as he knelt down. He had done this before and he could go through this again now. This was nothing. He had done it countless times in the past. That was what he said to himself.
“Good.” Princess Osana patted his head, as if he was her pet. “Kiss me down there…”
