He was a copy of his father, cruel and greedy for power. He and his alpha used the former members of the Howling Wolf pack as their slaves, killed them without batting an eye and raped the women.
“Is it okay if I cut his manhood? After all, he won’t need it anymore. This will be a big favor for women. Can I do that, gamma Ethan?”
Ethan grinned. He showed his canines, liking the idea.
“He will not die. I am sure he will heal in a few hours.”
Ethan was tasked to look after Mason, before the alpha could decide what he would do to him and during that time, he was allowed to do anything to him, as long as he didn’t die or kill himself.
“FUCK YOU, ETHAN!” Mason roared, the wound from being stabbed earlier had started to heal. His skin was littered with wounds, but there was nothing fatal that could cause his death, yet it didn’t mean he was immune to pain. “I should have asked those savages to cut you off!”
Ethan’s brown eyes turned a few shades darker when Mason reminded him of the darkest moment when he was defiled by those savages. He was only a young boy when that happened and he couldn’t fight even one of them, not to mention there were ten men that ravaged him at that time.
“What?” Mason laughed out loud when he managed to wipe out the grin from Ethan’s face. “Did you recall your sweet moment? I can still remember how you screamed in delight.”
No. Ethan was screaming bloody murder at that time. He even tried to kill himself.
However, Mason should be wise enough to realise that he no longer held the power and it was him that would scream.
“Chop it off.”
The three men there were so eager to do exactly what the gamma ordered them to do. They had been waiting for this moment.
“After that, give it to the wild dog and force him to watch,” Ethan spoke icily, enjoying the horror in Mason’s eyes.
***************************
“It was her brother…” Hanna said. “He will whip her. Miss Iris’s body is different from other shifters, she can’t heal like us, thus the wounds have never healed. It left scars on her back.” Hanna was crying right now.
Reiterating what happened to Iris hurt her, because she needed to remember what kind of cruel treatment that Iris had to suffer at the hands of her brother and father.
“Her father will lock her in the attic and starve her if she stepped out of her bedroom and someone saw her.”
From outside, it seemed like the alpha protected his daughter because she was having a sickly body, but the truth was, Iris was treated no better than a slave.
“Please, Alpha Cane, that child knows nothing. She suffered at the hands of her father, just like you and your people…” Hanna pleaded with Cane.
“Just like me and my people?” Cane scoffed, he found that ridiculous. “Leave.”
“Yes?” Hanna blinked her eyes, as tears streamed down her cheeks.
“Leave this room.”
“Alpha Cane, can you please let me see her? She has been sleeping in that cold cell in the dungeon. She must be scared. I will not ask for anything, but just let me see her and tend to her.” Hanna didn’t have any other family and because she watched Iris grow up, she was very fond of her. “Please, let me accompany her in her cell.”
Cane narrowed his eyes.
This change of power didn’t really affect people like Hanna, since Cane’s target was not them. But, she was willing to give up the comfort of her bed to stay in the dungeon with Iris?
“Please, Alpha Cane, show some mercy on Miss Iris. She has suffered enough…”
“Please, Alpha Cane, show some mercy on Miss Iris. She has suffered enough…” Hanna pleaded. She lowered her head until her forehead touched the floor, begging the alpha to send her to the dungeon, to be with Iris.
She knew she wouldn’t be able to do anything even if she was sent there, but at the very least, Iris wouldn’t be alone. The girl was afraid of the dark.
But, right at that time, someone knocked on the door and interrupted them.
“Enter,” Cane said impassively, he didn’t show any emotions in response to Hanna begging him, or when she tearfully told him about the hardships that Iris had to go through thus far.
“Cane,” Jace called him. As he walked across the room, he threw a glance at Hanna, who was on her knees, crying.
“What is it?”
“She is unconscious.”
Cane furrowed his brows and Jace continued.
“She will not make it past tonight if we don’t call a healer for her.”
Jace didn’t mean to hide this conversation, thus Hanna could hear it clearly, which made her immediately realize who they were talking about.
“It is Miss Iris, right? Miss Iris is sick again?” Hanna became frantic. “Alpha, please, show her your mercy… she is not at fault… she shouldn’t bear her father’s sins.” Hanna hit her head against the floor, to show how serious she was with her pleas.
“She is not at fault?” Jace sneered. “Right. So, what about those babies that your alpha killed? What about those women that your alpha raped and what about those innocent lives that your alpha took? She is not at fault?” Jace growled. “So were they!”
Hanna flinched when Jace snapped at her, her whole body was trembling, but she kept pleading with Cane to save Iris’s life.
“Why do you insist on saving her life? Letting her die is a form of a mercy too.” If it was not for Cane, who kept giving them hope that there would be a time that they would be able to break free from the slavery and exact their revenge, they would have chosen death to be their salvation.
Those years that they had gone through were too cruel for anyone to endure. They were not at fault either, but none of them could escape the cruelty no matter at what age one of them was.
“Take her out of the dungeon and let a healer see her,” Cane said, which surprised both of them.
“Cane!” Jace snapped, but then he lowered his voice when he saw the hard look in Cane’s eyes. He gritted his teeth and balled his fists so tightly to contain his anger.
“Death is too easy for her. I have not done it with her yet.” Cane folded his arms, this time his eyes fell on Hanna and she shivered in fear.
