2. Another Punishment

CHAPTER TWO

Kaylan's Pov

"Did your mother curse you in the womb before giving birth to you? How dare you?!"  Alpha Gareth thundered in a harsh breath and I fell on my knees, trembling immensely.

"I'm so sorry!" I whimpered but I felt my hair being pulled backward and was slapped hard.

"I hate apologies idiot!" He slammed heavily at me kicking off the food crumbs on his body and I swallowed.

How the hell did I get careless with Gareth whose anger could last for more than three days?

I knew how dangerous he was than his elder brother but still fell into his trap.

"I prefer actions to a mere useless word, get inside there and prepare a bath Immediately!" I gasped in hot tears and shook my head.

"Please…just give me a few minutes, I'll do that right away!" I begged as I knew Cypher was waiting for his meal. Cypher would bury me alive for wasting his time as his food was already spilled. My hands and lips trembled with a drumming chaos on my head knowing that I woke up on the wrong side of the floor today.

A kick was sent to my face as I groaned in disgust.

"Repeat that and I'll throw you in the dungeon!" He fired at me and walked out while I exhaled in huge pain.

My body was weak and sore from the pain and excess chores and beating. How the hell will I condone what was waiting for me?

"Why not just run?" My wolf lamented harshly in pain not able to contain the anger and I shook my head.

"Not now, they will find me."

I'll leave but not immediately. I managed to stand up to clear the spilled food on the floor but the loud voice that echoed inside sent everyone shaking.

Good Lord!

My name echoed out again and I burst into tears and stood up, the guards at the entrance staring at me with pity.

Cypher was definitely yelling at my name impatiently and Gareth was probably going to wait for his bath, serving two dangerous souls was already a suicide mission and now he wants to make my life so remarkable by being Luna.

I swallowed hard and went into the huge Pack palace and walked to the living room.

"Why the fuck are you here when you should be in my room?" Gareth slammed in disgust and Cypher stood up from the chair.

"Where's my meal?"

I cowered at his deep voice the most resigning to my punishment. It was useless saying a word to these Lycans when they sent me errands.

"I mistakenly spilled your food Alpha, I will receive…" I cried in pain and sniffed as my back ached terribly.

How can I receive any punishment right now?

"Please forgive me, I'll prepare another meal." I sniffed and fell to my knees, covering my face on the ground but raised it up in fear when I felt his footsteps come closer.

Was he going to hit me?

"Of course I will," he came closer and bent so close to me till our face was barely inches from each other making me curse Inwardly as his eyes reflected on mine. They were always devilishly beautiful.

"I will forgive you when I become your personal Savior and salvation but right now," He scoffed and flicked his golden brown hair to the back. "You are the personal maid and I demand your service without errors!" He yelled and slammed my head to the wall in anger, wet liquid trickled down my face and I bit my lips hard from yelling.

"How dare you starve me?" He yelled.

"I think you're getting ahead of yourself Cypher, she serves us and she needs to attend to me first cause she burnt my skin," Gareth said casually, obviously irritated at his brother who turned to him and glared.

"Excuse me?" He asked, faking a surprise.

"You heard me, stop claiming her, and if she doesn't get up from that place right now to prepare my bath, I'll squeeze the last string of life in her and dump her in the dungeon!"

Gareth said with an arrogant pose and he stared at the face of his brother in scorn.

"I dare you Kaylan, get up from there!" Cypher blasted not diverting his gaze and I knew another war would start between the duo.

They were both Alphas of the great Crescent Moon Pack but to me, they were the royal cat and dogs of the home waging a war against each other on who fits the throne the most.

They were so admired by many, I'm a secret admirer myself. I can't deny the pure work of nature on these two people no matter how bad I disliked them but it was the reverse case for the brothers, nobody's existence matters aside from the throne and their beauty.

Cypher being the eldest had it all, he was so fucking attractive and his golden hair made him look like some heavenly Prince of Persia with ocean blue eyes to keep you captivated.

He was daring, bold and cocky which accentuates his sexy features from his head to toe. Gareth being the youngest was like a bunny, cute and fluffy with his jet black hair. He was tall but Cypher surpassed him, maybe 6 to 7 ft tall which I can't decipher but he was good. Too good and proud.

He was so beautiful, too fucking good to he wicked.

And I thank my wolf for knowing her place when I'm with them, she controls herself even though we both felt like letting go of whatever grudge we have against them and becoming shameless by touching myself with their images in my head. I can't help it but with their daily harsh treatment, I see them as enchanting devils.

"You don't have to dare, that's so childish. She must do what we tell her to do, stop acting like a king when you don't even have the traits of being a Prince!"

"Gareth!!" Cypher screeched at his brother's words and punched the walls.

"Do you think you can take over that throne dear big brother? The moon goddess announcement is not enough, get Luna within three days, and let's see how competent you are!"

He smirked at Cypher who scoffed and turned to me and my heart ripped at such a stare.

"What did I tell you about those rags you're putting on?"

He queried and I bit my lips hard and bowed in apology and stood up, hoping that he wouldn't stop me.

"Get my meal and attend to him later, I'm in a good mood today!" He said Gareth wanted to oppose but kept quiet which made me feel at ease and disappeared from their sight.

The next few minutes were hell for me with the maids as I managed to fix another meal and kept it in Cypher's room which already had visitors.

"Bring it out here" he blurted out and I did.

It was a breakfast of scrambled eggs, toast bread, and hot coffee. He took the coffee and poured it on my skin which burned terribly and swerved a punch at the sides of my ribs.

"When I stake a claim on something, I expect such a thing to be as neat as ever!" He yelled and kicked the table in fury startling the men sitting beside him.

"Get lost!" I nodded and managed to get up but he poured the contents of the food on me.

"Not you!" He referred to me and stared at the men.

"But Alpha, the general Pack meeting is tomorrow and you haven't said anything concerning your Luna!"

One of the men said and he glared at them fiercely.

"Who said I haven't?" He bellowed at the bald head man with white strands of beards.

"Well, it seems your younger brother might end up taking over the throne instead?"

The stout elderly man said and I gasped out loud, earning stares but it was nothing compared to Cypher's piercing stare.

"How dare you say such a thing?" He growled and have a slight smirk at the corner of his lips.

"It's because he already has a Luna he's willing to marry so that the throne won't be vacant." He retorted at Cypher and I shook my head.

That's impossible.

Cypher and Gareth might be endowed with heavenly features and beauty but they dislike the opposite gender like a plaque.

I've served them for a while and I know what I'm talking about, the throne is vacant and he would do anything to take over, but where the hell did he get Luna?

"Where the hell did he get Luna?" Cypher asked harshly but they shrugged and he dismissed them.

He stared at me for a while and bit his lips while gauging his thoughts.

"Get prepared Kaylan, we are getting married."

He smirked and hot tears burned in my eyes.
