I screamed, my voice piercing the air as I struggled beneath him, pushing with all my might. But he was a mountain of muscle, overpowering me effortlessly. He held my wrists firmly above my head, his grip like iron, while his other hand pressed against my breast with a force that sent waves of pain shooting through me. I squirmed, twisting and kicking, desperate for freedom, but it was as if I were trying to move a boulder.

Tears threatened to spill from my eyes, but I fought them back with every ounce of willpower I possessed. I would not give him the satisfaction of seeing me break. What had once been a touch that ignited a flicker of pleasure in me was now nothing but a source of agony. The King growled, burying his face into my neck, his breath hot and ragged against my skin. I felt something sharp pressing into my neck, and another hard object against my stomach, which only fueled my panic. I thrashed violently, my body instinctively fighting back against his hold.

In that moment of desperation, an idea sparked in my mind, reckless and instinctual. Without a second thought, I lunged forward and sank my teeth into his neck with all the ferocity I could muster. He let out a deep groan, releasing my hands, but to my utter shock, it wasn't a sound of pain-it was one of pleasure. "You son of a b***h, let me go!" I hissed through gritted teeth, my heart racing as I glared at him. He bared his teeth in a predatory grin, pressing me back onto the bed, and something inside me snapped. Fueled by a surge of anger, I slapped him hard across the face.

For a fleeting moment, his eyes flashed a brilliant blue before they returned to their dark hue, and then, with an unexpected force, I found myself hurtling across the room. My back collided with the wall, the impact sending a jolt of pain through my body as I crumpled to the floor, groaning. My hand instinctively flew to my side, where a sharp ache blossomed. With great effort, I pushed myself up, pain radiating through my ribs, but I refused to let it deter me. I staggered, my legs trembling beneath me, and looked up to meet the King's gaze.

The fury in his eyes was wild, feral, as if he were on the brink of losing control. "Don't you get it?" he growled, his voice low and menacing as he descended from the bed, each step deliberate and threatening. Instinctively, I took a step back, fear coursing through my veins. "Don't you understand?" he repeated, stalking closer, his voice a dangerous whisper. "You're mine. You belong to me." "Stay back!" I shouted, my voice surprisingly steady despite the fear clawing at my insides. But he continued his advance, undeterred.

"I said f*****g stay back, you dumb ass!" I screamed, my heart pounding wildly in my chest, feeling as if it might burst free from my ribcage at any moment. "I'm warning you, you're not going to like what I will do to you!" Panic surged within me, my breath coming in rapid bursts as I fought against the overwhelming fear. The King regarded me as if I were nothing more than a small, trapped animal, playing a futile game of hide and seek. "You're mine!" he roared, charging at me, and my breath hitched in my throat as I braced myself for what I believed was the inevitable.

There was no escaping him, not now. He was far too strong. My heart pounded like a war drum as I closed my eyes, waiting for the impact. But then- Silence. I opened my eyes quickly, confusion flooding my mind. The King stood with his back to me, gripping his hair with a force that suggested he was battling some inner turmoil. I watched him, a mix of fear and bewilderment coursing through me as he shook his head violently, as if trying to rid himself of some haunting thought. When he turned to face me again, I instinctively stepped back, my heart racing.

His eyes flashed blue once more, lingering this time, before returning to their dark depths. Then, in a voice that sent chills down my spine, he roared, "Out! Get out!" I didn't need a second invitation. I bolted from the room. But not before I snatched up the first thing I could find-my robe, discarded on the floor. With trembling hands, I yanked open the door and rushed out, not daring to look back. As I sprinted through the hallways, I caught sight of the King's second-in-command. His eyes widened in shock, as if he had seen a ghost. I didn't stop to acknowledge him.

I raced toward the quarters, my breath coming in frantic gasps. Memories flashed before my eyes, a whirlwind of past horrors and near escapes. I had faced this kind of terror before, but I would not allow it to consume me again. Never again. ***** My beast roared within me, its primal instincts clamoring to claim her, and I knew all too well what that meant. Death. In the past, every struggle for control had ended in bloodshed, leaving me with the haunting image of lifeless bodies beneath me, their eyes hollow and vacant.

But for the first time, my beast had relented, granting me a fleeting moment of control, for all it could focus on was her. He wanted her. I growled, collapsing to my knees, my hands tangled in my hair as pain surged through me from the battle within. The metallic taste of blood filled my mouth as my teeth morphed into savage fangs. The door swung open, and I whipped my head around, hoping it was her return. Instead, I found my Beta's concerned gaze. "Your Majesty," he said, rushing toward me, but before he could reach out, I recoiled.

"Don't!" I snarled, turning my back to him, my hands clenched tightly into fists, my jaw tightened with the effort of restraint. "She's not like the others, right?" he pressed gently, trying to reach me. "Leave!" I growled, my chest heaving as I fought to maintain control. My beast raged within, demanding I burst from this room and hunt her down. I had never left a task unfinished. "Your Majesty, should I..." he began, but I cut him off. "I said leave!" My voice was sharp, but he remained rooted in place, accustomed to my volatile nature.

I staggered as my beast urged me to seek her out, to bring her back. Turning to the wall, I pounded my fists against it repeatedly, desperate to distract myself from thoughts of her. There was something about her-something that set her apart-and I couldn't allow her to perish tonight. "Your Majesty," Lucien's voice broke through my turmoil, pulling me from my spiraling thoughts. I ignored him, but then he thrust something into my line of sight. Something twisted inside me, and without hesitation, I snatched it from him, bringing it to my nose.

Immediately, the storm within me stilled, and confusion washed over me. How? Why? What was happening to me? I stared at the piece of clothing in my hand, inhaling deeply once more, my eyes fluttering closed. Who could have imagined that the mere scent of a woman would possess the power to calm the raging beast within me? Conclusion In the aftermath of the chaos, Emilia's heart raced with the remnants of fear and anger, yet a flicker of defiance ignited within her.
