GoodReadChapter 10 ATTACK IN THE FOREST VALERIA Its not like I have much to pack.
On the bed, I make a small bundle with a few old clothes youve donated toand, most importantly, the money the King gave me.
Thats all I have to survive.
Shielded by the night and the darkness, I wander through the corridors, glancing around fearfully, clearly intending to escape.
I reach the kitchen and search for the back door obviously I wont risk leaving through the main entrance.
When I glance at the counter where the Kings meals are served, a surge of anger rises in my chest.
Why would they do something like this? Who could be so cruel as to send an innocent woman to certain death? The maid who helped the one who cut her hand is my main suspect the one who had the opportunity while I was distracted.
Perhaps both of them are working together.
I step out into the inner courtyard and run toward the gate where the carts with supplies and goods enter.
The forest welcomesdark and menacing.
Its frightening, and I have no idea where to go now.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtI think about shifting into my wolf form and simply running far from these lands.
However, fireworks echo in the distance, coming from the Backs lands, drawing my attention and deepening the Indecision in my chest.
I have nowhere to go.
Maybe theyre still searching forout there.
And if not... what would I become? Just a rogue without a pack, bait for any scum to abuseor sellas a slave to an even worse pack.
Maybe the housekeeper can helpgiveanother position if I explain everything to her properly.
Shes far more rational than the King I gamble everything on that decision and start following the stone path down the mountain toward the valley where the Golden Moon pack lies.
T Knock, knock, knock.
I knock repeatedly on the door of the house belonging to the housekeeper.
I had asked a woman, and she toldshe lived here, yet the window was dark, and no one responded . Could she be at the celebrations? I thought about circling the house to be sure no one was home, but then, the angry voice of a man madefreeze.
Hey, you! What are you doing snooping around someone elses house? TO ATTACKIN THE FOREST I turned, startled, to see an intimidating warrior with two other men behind Sir, II was just looking for Madam, the Kings housekeeper.
I work for her, I replied, trying not to sound too nervous or suspicious.
I know exactly who you are the Kings maid .
And Ive been looking for you.
The King has given orders.
Youre coming with us, he said, and panic gripped my heart.
W With you? Where ... ? Wherever we want to take you, traitor ! Dont think we dont know you tried to poison His Majesty.
Grab her! No, no! I didnt ... wait! Let go of! Aggh! I groaned in pain as a brutal punch landed in my stomach, cuttingoff and makingdouble over in agony.
Two of them seizedmercilessly by the arms, draggingthrough the narrow back streets toward the forest Im innocent! Please, letspeak to the housekeeper! I can ... I can explain- I tried pleading while stumbling through the trees, deeper and deeper into the darkness, far from the village.
I had no idea which direction we were heading.
No matter how hard I struggled and fought back, I was no match for two strong warriors.
Shut your mouth, or the next hit will be across your damn face! barked the one who seemed to be their leader, marching ahead, Plenty of nerve to try and harm the King, huh? But now youre just a pathetic mess! Drop her here and search her !, He ordered, and I was thrown roughly to the ground.
I cried out as my body hit the hard earth covered in dead leaves, but I immediately tried to shift, desperate to escape.
Dont even think about running! one of them snarled, pouncing on me, grabbing my hair roughly as he straddled my waist.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmThe other one pinned my wrists above my head, forcingflat against the ground.
No matter how much I fought, I was completely overpowered.
Their rough hands groped me, rummaging through my clothes, and I felt sick as they grabbed my breasts and even forced their hands between my thighs, which I tried desperately to keep closed.
Boss, look what she had hidden between her tits, one of them sneered, pulling out the heavy leather pouch. containing the money the King had given me.
Keep it ! Just letgo, please! III leave your pack I swear! Ill go and never look back! I begged them, my eyes red with desperation, but I only saw the malice on their faces .
I knew nothing good would cof this.
Oh, well keep the money, ugly.
But dont think you can just leave that easily.
Didnt you want to fuck a man? Guess youre in luck you have three now, sneered the one holding my wrists, gripping them so hard I felt like my bones might break.
No, no... letgo, you bastards ! Letgo ! HELP ... HELP Despite their brutal slaps, I kept screaming until my throat burned, the metallic taste of blood filling my mouth.
from the blows.
But I couldnt stop I needed someone to hear.
