Chapter 5

||MONICA LEWINSKY's POV ||

The warehouse pulled me like a magic stick. Each time I tried to stop myself, my feet failed to oblige me. The roar was attractive yet dangerous. My heart thumped so loudly that I could hear my heartbeat in the quiet woods. I had no idea how long I had been walking.

As I came in front of the warehouse, I could no longer feel my heart anymore in fear. With a trembling hand, I pushed the door open with a creak and instantly met with a pair of red, glowing eyes.

A loud gasp escaped my lips at to see of the chained monster. It was a Lycan but a larger one. The beast was majestic with its pitch-black figure and canines like ancient monsters. The form of Lycan felt larger than average. It was chained all around his body like a prisoner. My instinct was telling me that I knew that monster yet I couldn't be so sure of it.

I pushed myself to go closer, asking in a soft voice,

" Are..you hurt? Do you want me to unchain you?"

It didn't seem okay with all those chains, wrapped around his body. The monster snarled at me as if he were deeply pissed off by my presence. Since it was chained, I let my guard down and stood on its opposite side, guessing what was happening with him,

" Did you do something to offend the king? It seems like..you are punished. But don't worry, I pity you. So I can help if you want."

Another annoying growl passed his mouth. I tried to talk to his wolf through my wolf but he immediately shut me down as soon as my wolf tried to communicate.

Rude Monster!

I tried to speak again, deeply hurt by his state since some part of his body was already bleeding,

" You can't talk? I get it. How about I help you? Maybe you can sleep peacefully but if you try to get out of this room, I will call the guards. Do you agree with me?"

I was only being nice to the monster. Once I was sold like an object and was tortured like a beast, his condition reminded me of the past that I went through. Again, another animalistic snarl came from his throat. I got the idea that he couldn't take it as my human duty to unchain the monster.

I went behind its back and started the chain one after another, my wolf standing up inside me in defense. I believed that he wasn't going to hurt me since I released him for his own good. The monster kept thrashing against the chain, something inside my mind told me that he wasn't liking my task. As soon as I released him, the monster snapped at me first unexpectedly.

In a flash of a moment, I was under his claws and canines, his mouth leaving growls into my ears. I cried out in panic, trying to shift under his monstrous claw,

" Fuck! I SAVED YOU! How can you hurt me? LET..GO.."

The monster had no mercy for me. He only growled harder into my ears. When I thought that it was over, I tried to beg, shutting my eyes,

" Please.... Don't... Don't.. hurt me.. Please.."

Everything went quiet for a moment. Before I could have the chance to open my eyes, something sharp dug into my neck. I felt a sharp pain, seeping through my body along with fresh blood oozing out of my skin. The pain took all my strength away, leaving me with nothing but a numb body. Before falling into a deep slumber, I heard a rough voice next to my ear with the feeling of someone licking my neck with a coarse tongue,

" MINE ! "

---

Last night felt like a dream to me. By the time, I opened my eyes to see the finest sunlight through the half-broken warehouse door, I was away from reality. I tried to move naturally but a gruff voice froze me, taking all my breath away in fear,

"Don't...MOVE.."

It took me a whole fucking minute to feel that someone was lying exactly next to me. The positions that we held were indecent. A long slender arm was wrapping me from behind. The obvious lion tattoo on the left wrist made my stomach twist into a tight knot.

What the fuck..was he...

The scary monster was gone. When I tilted my head back, a pair of furious eyes met me.

LUCIUS DE ROSSI!

He was stark naked with fresh bruises from his neck to his shoulders. I tried to speak, my voice barely audible,

" Your Majesty! The beast..."

He cut me off sharply, raising himself from the ground,

" YOU SAW NOTHING!"

I swallowed the lump in my throat. Could it be possible that he was the beast? But how was it possible? He was the Lycan King, wasn't he?

Pushing myself up, I tried to sit up when the twisting pain from the neck shot through my body. I let out a small whimper, touching my neck subconsciously to feel a big biting mark underneath my fingers. I flew my eyes wide in shock.

MARK?? WAS I BEING MARKED?

I muttered breathlessly, touching the mark again and again,

" What.. what happened to me? How did I get a mark here?"

A low rumble came from King Viktor. He roared like a beast, cursing me in a different language,

" WHO THE FUCK TOLD YOU TO UNCHAIN ME? Damn it! It's fucking over. I have marked a slave. This is a fucking crime."

He paced around the room, running his hand through his hair frustratingly. His words left me stunned and my whole life changed in a split second. It was never in my plan to be marked by King Viktor. The mark would weaken my emotions and my focus on the mission. More than that if King Asher found out, I would be killed for betraying him.

I stood up blankly, my thoughts wandering all over the place. King Viktor crossed the room in one shot and grasped my chin, forcing me to speak,

" Who sent you here? Tell me, woman! How dare you step into this restricted place?"

The grip was so tight that I almost broke my jaw. I gave my reply with a frustrated growl, thinking about the consequences of this mark,

" NO ONE! I was merely wandering in the woods when I heard you. I would have never unchained you if I had other intentions, my king. Please believe me! I was.. just.. helping you one warned me when I made it this way."

He shoved my jaw on the other side before pulling back the pants that lay across the ground. I expected worse to come. After a while, he came closer to me, his words coming out with anger and resentment,

" You won't breathe a word to anyone. NO ONE will know about our mark or the meeting. You didn't see anything, got it?"

I nodded with my head down as my wolf was deeply hurt again. Since the mark was placed, the emotions, and the bond were inevitable. I couldn't stop the bad feeling even if I wanted to. King Viktor continued after swallowing hard,

" Good. Til then act like you don't even know me. I will find a way to break this bond. If you are in heat... just.. help yourself.. Because I don't want to touch a fucking chosen mate and stretch my crime longer."

I bit my together to stop crying. My wolf was fighting hard to keep the emotions down. Why did it happen to me again and again? At first, I was rejected and my second mate didn't want me. Why was it always me?

Still, for the sake of my mission, I gave my words to King Viktor respectively,

" Whatever you wish, Your Majesty. I will keep that in my mind."
