Chapter 5 Little girl

Selene

I kept tapping my foot anxiously on the marble floor, while looking around the room. My gaze avoided a particular spot in front of me and that was where Dain was sitting. Right in front of me.

He choose me to be his damn breeder and that was totally fucked. He was not putting his hands or body near me. I hated him so much and was only managing to stand his presence. I would lose it if he touched me.

“So?” His deep voice startled me out of my thoughts. I flinched and then forced myself to look at him.

“So?” My voice was soft and barely recognizable. My whole body was shaking and it was out of fear. I was scared and confused. My plan failed. I miscalculated.

“It has been exactly 10 minutes since I asked for your name, little girl.” He drew out and there was slight anger furrowed in his brows.

I sighed. “I'm not a little girl.” I corrected him. I might have had a small frame, but I was not a child. I was an adult. I was 22 years old and was far from being a child. “And my name–” My voice trailed out and my palm had turned sweaty.

“My name…..” I repeated again, running my tongue over my lower lip. Dain’s eyes never left me. He just kept staring and if there was one look in those cold eyes of his, it was curiosity. “My name is…it’s Selene.” A long stretch of silence reigned after I revealed my name.

I was not thinking, it seemed like my brain had stopped working as I kept trying to weigh the situation that I was in. “Selene.” Dain muttered ever slowly like he was testing the sound of my name on his lips.

“Selene.” He repeated and my heart almost jumped out of my body when I saw him stand on his feet.

“I'm not ready!!” I suddenly screamed at the top of my voice when he stood. I was simply not ready. My plans failed and instead of being chosen as a maid, I was chosen as a breeder. I was not ready.

“What?” Alpha Dain’s cold grey eyes landed on me and he took a step closer. He was tall and imposing. Scary and dangerous. It was like darkness swirled around him. A darkness very much different from the one I felt the night I saw him murdering my mother.

“I'm not ready. Please Alpha.” I pleaded. I had to. I heard stories about Dain. You did not tell him no. He took what he wanted. And I knew that he would not hesitate to tie me up just to force himself on me. The thought of that made my skin crawl.

“This is not about you, little girl. You don't have a choice here.” He stated. He sized me up with his eyes as he continued. “I did not bring you here to plead with me or ask for sympathy. I have none to give.” I knew that. I already watched the way he brutally murdered my mama. He killed witches. Burned them alive.

“You came here to be my slut, little girl and you are going to be just that. Your only use here is to breed. That's the only thing you are good at, human!” He spat at me and hell, I was not human. He would not even get what he wanted from me.

“I'm not ready. For all this. Just give me some time.” Time to think and process what was going on. To know If I'd just do some magic and disappear, but that would be giving up. I was not walking out of the lycan kingdom unless the Lycan king was dead.

“I don't have that to give, girl. Get on fucking bed.” My whole body turned cold when he suddenly held me by my wrist and I was pulled back to that day. The day that Lucien tried to rape me. Alpha Dain was going to do the same, force himself on me.

“Please no…stop. Don't touch me. I'm not ready. Don't touch me.” I pleaded, crying hysterically. Lucien’s words filled my head, the way he touched me roughly, the way he looked at me. I suddenly felt bile rush up my throat.

“Walk away.” I knew my pleas were going to be futile. Dain would not listen. He easily got what he wanted. He could throw me on the bed and force himself on me. But then, his hold on me loosened.

“Please…..go. I’m not ready.” I begged, already sweating so hard but my pleading worked. His eyes darkened and then he released me.

“I should kill you. But there is something about you, Little girl." He drew out word by word and I almost screamed. I was not a little girl!! I was 22.

“Ravenna will come and take you to the slave quarters. You will remain there until I figure out what to do with you.” He said and I almost breathed out a sigh of relief. Finally, he was not going to have sex with me. And I'd better work as a slave than to have sex with Dain.

“Okay, Alpha. Thank you for your mercy.” I immediately went down on my knees, because I was going to be the meek and quiet maid.

Dain only scoffed, “I did not give you mercy.” He deadpanned on every word, sounding like me deciding to be a maid was much worse than refusing to spread my legs for him. I gulped.

“Get out.” He growled towards the door and I did not waste another moment before I rushed out. The moment I got out of the room, I let out the sigh of relief that I had been holding in. I did it. I got in successfully. My other mission was surviving in the palace. Surviving the brutality and I knew that I was going to do so. I had put in so much work to fail. In the next three moons, I was going to have Alpha Dain’s head with me.
