Chapter 1 1

Phoebe~~

Those eyes that fixated on me sparkled of golden yellow, sending shivers all over my body. I squeezed my dress, staring back at him with panic surging through my body.

He stepped closer, and a mighty roar of his wolf almost deafened me, his aura pulled me down to my knees…then came his hoarse commanding voice, “From tonight, you're going to be my whore!”

The words sank into my ears like a blow. My lips moved as I tried to speak, but no word came out.

“You should be so grateful that I spared your life, Phoebe, because I didn't plan to do that in the first place.” His voice came again, so deep and cold.

I blinked and the hot tears that welled in my eyes streamed down, then I was able to say something, even though my heart was so heavy like a rock was placed on it. “What do you want, Knox? Why are you doing this? Isn't taking the lives of my family enough? Do you know what it means to live with no one by your side?”

No matter how I tried, I still couldn't control my sobs.

Who would believe that the alpha princess of the Ice Guardians Pack was now enslaved by the man she thought loved her from the depth of his heart? I loved this man so much and prayed to the moon goddess that he turned out to be my mate, only for him to be the one who massacred my family just on my twenty-first birthday and took me and my pack members hostage.

I watched my father’s palace burnt to ashes with them inside. I cried to him for help, but he did nothing but step away, only for me to find out he was the one behind it all.

With tears streaking on my face, I looked up to him again, “You were my brother's right hand man, and the one I loved most on this earth. You promised never to hurt me, and you did all these?”

“I did keep to my promise and didn't hurt you like them, didn't I?" he scoffed and finally took out his glasses. “You must think I'm a joke, but you would finally learn why I was beside your brother all those years, and why I hid the fact that I am the alpha king of the Fearless Keepers Pack.”

Fearless what? My eyes grew large to see the man who was talking back to me.

What the fuck was happening? He was the alpha…

Oh goddess! This shouldn't be true. It should be a dream.

Someone should just wake me up….

My heart pounded loud in my ears. How did I end up loving that savage man that no one has ever seen? He was the only alpha king that no one knew his name or what he looked like. So he did keep himself hidden that way because he had a dirty aim towards my pack?

Goddess please, just take my life.

My muscles were so weak. If only I had my short sword, I would have no reason to keep speaking when I could just take my life in the blink of an eye.

He put down my family, and now he wants to make me his whore? This shouldn't happen, goddess help me. I'm an alpha princess and would lose my dignity if it ever happened.

The more I thought about it, uncontrollable tears kept pouring down my face.

Maybe I caused it all. If I didn't fall in love with him, this might not have happened.

“Take her away!”

I looked up the moment I heard his command, but he was already leaving.

“Knox, you can't do this after years of loving me. Remember you told me how you can't share me with another man. Knox!!!” I was still lamenting when his men grabbed me and threw me into a van.

I was tied up already, so I couldn't make a move.

Every scene came pouring down again in my mind; how my parents were tied up and thrown back into the room, then the fire lit up.

Despite my screams, he didn't blink.

So this was it?

Holy fuck! I was a mess…I caused all these.

…

I was thrown into a dark room, so I didn't even know what time it was. But hours elapsed before I was taken out by two men and was handed over to two ladies that took me away.

They washed me up and dressed me in one transparent dress that made me feel uncomfortable. I looked at myself through the mirror and shook my head, “When did I become a stripper, holy goddess? How am I supposed to accept that I'm covering my body when the only thing covered here are my nipples and my front pùssy?”

I knew I lacked the right to complain, but I even had no strength to do that.

Just by looking at myself, I was already ashamed.

What would people who knew me as the princess say when their eyes landed on what I wore? So I was going to satisfy some insolent man out there just so Knox would get paid?

‘I can't sell my body that way. I should think fast.’ I thought to myself and sighed calmly, my wolf also trying to help.

Before I was taken away, they offered me fast food which I was forced to eat, and then a mouthwash.

I wished to see Knox, but no one even talked about him. I needed to yell at him, throw insults at him so at least he feels bad like I was.

It was at the point of getting into the car did I get a glimpse of him, staring from the side with his palms dipped into his side pockets. He wore that sinister smile, like one who had finally won…and I even hated myself more for seeing that.

The car drove off at high speed and I was so scared something bad might happen. And when we arrived at a club buzzing in music that night, I alighted as ordered by the men with me.

Again, they handed me over to ladies who took me to a certain room and presented to me a Service Legal Agreement document that tells how I would work as a whore in the club. While I went through it, my tears blurred my vision.

‘I didn't grow up to live this kinda life. What's all these?’ the more I tried to comfort myself, I ruined my makeup with my tears.

And at the end, one of the ladies volunteered and retouched my makeup as it made me look so scary.

“Follow me!” the lady said when she was done, and as someone who had no choice, I weakly followed her.

She took me into a certain furnished room and said to me before leaving, “This club is run by the alpha king, and so you must make sure not to get on his bad side. Soon, your first client will be here, so do a good job and get paid even twice the original amount.” she smiled like it was all fun while she disappeared from my sight.

Knox has this club. He's a devil indeed and I didn't see all that.

I couldn't sit still but began parading all over the room, searching for what would be used as a weapon, but I saw none.

‘It doesn't matter if I get on his bad side when I was already the same as a slave. He can't just use me the way he wants.’ I kept thinking while walking about the room.

Soon, the door made a creaking sound and a man walked in. He seemed to be in his middle age, and was so excited to find me already set to entertain him.

“You look so hot, lady. What about a drink first? Or should we go straight to the point?" He made himself comfortable on the bed.

I gazed at him with fury swelling in me, even after knowing that I had no option. “Let's have a drink first.” I chose it, because I had my plans.

He placed an order, and as I emptied my own glass, I insisted that we begin.

“Fine, mind undressing me?”

“I cant do that fuck.” I snapped at him and he cheered it up and began undressing, with his back facing me.

My eyes landed on the glass on the table beside me, and only one thing clicked in.

‘We can't shed blood, Phoe. Just stab his arm and leave the rest for me.’ my wolf suggested and I quickly grabbed the glass.

I smashed it on the wood of the bed, pulling the man's attention.

“What was that noise?” he asked, coming closer.

I didn't think much but leaned closer towards him, and in the blink of an eye, I stabbed the broken glass into his right arm.

His voice echoed across the walls, and I quickly stabbed the other arm with utmost strength.

‘I'm sorry, but your alpha caused it.’ I said in my mind, turning to leave.

But the door burst open, and mighty men with shoulders so broad and dark glasses covering their eyes barged into the room.

My heart sank while I gazed at them.
