Chapter 4 No Regrets

1929 Words
Amaris’ POV “AMARIS!” I was kicked off the bed and painfully fell on the floor. I groaned and opened my eyes. Harry’s mom was standing beside my bed. “Where did you go last night, you w***e?” Mrs. Colt asked angrily. I swallowed hard and kept my face straight. I still remember every single detail about what happened last night. I gave my virginity to a stranger who was not my husband. And I don’t regret it. I can still feel the discomfort in between my legs. I felt heat in my core again as I recalled his hot and deep kisses. His warm and burning touch. His growls. His heavy breaths. That man. He’s perfect. I don’t think I could forget about him for the rest of my life. But what I did yesterday was only for my revenge. There’s no need for our lives to cross again. “I’m asking you a question, you b*tch!” Mrs. Colt looked at me sharply and grabbed my arm. With her pull, my neckline slipped off my shoulders, showing countless kiss marks on my chest. Mrs. Colt froze in shock and soon rage started to burn in her eyes which made her tone much sharper,M“You shameless b*tch! Did you fck another man last night? Huh? You dare to betray my son?” I looked at her with sarcasm flashing. She’s right. I betrayed my husband Alpha Harry. But I’m not guilty. I never asked him to be my mate or husband. I was forcefully sold to them. It was my greedy family who used their wealth to survive each day. And all this didn’t give them the right to treat me inhumanely. No one can blame me. It was her son who made my hell and he deserves this. I sneered as I pulled my arm back and stared into her eyes, fighting the intensity of her glare. “So what if I did?” “You dirty b*tch!” She growled and wanted to slap me. I caught her hand in the air and obviously, she was surprised by my strength. If I had to hold back myself for the sake of my so-called family before, it wouldn’t happen anymore since I made that decision last night. Never again! I smirked as I looked at her, “Why can’t I do the same when your son can fck anyone he wants? This is only to be fair, Mrs. Colt.” I approached her face to enjoy more details of her fury, “Your *sshole son deserves to taste his own medicine!” “WHAT DID YOU SAY, AMARIS?” Alpha Harry’s voice roared like thunder at the door, making me turn my head. When did he come in? He was finally done enough fcking with his b*tch? “b*tch, you’re definitely dead.” Mrs. Colt immediately sent out a vicious grin as she shook off my hand and walked toward her son. Harry’s chilling gaze froze my blood but I tried to keep my composure. When a man betrays his wife, everyone urges the wife to forgive him because the husband is always regarded as the backer of his wife; but when a woman betrays her husband, everyone screams for the husband to kill his wife as if she is like a dress which can be replaced by a new at any time. I knew that well before I made my decision. But I didn’t regret it. I closed my eyes waiting for Harry’s punishment. “Mom, you go out first, I need to talk to this b*tch alone.” Harry’s icy voice rang out again. I winced once again. “Ah!” I screamed in pain when he grabbed my hair. “WHAT DID YOU FCKING SAY?” He shouted again. I looked him in the eyes with courage. “Break the bond, Alpha Harry. I don’t think any of us can endure this any longer.” “You b*tch!” He pushed me to the bed and started whipping my back. I screamed in pain. I squeezed my eyes closed and bit my bottom lip hard. The stinging sensation on my back is too much and I feel like I’d p*ss out anytime. I hated that I could not shift to fight back. I hated that I was still not strong enough before another alpha wolf. “Cry, Amaris! Cry and beg because I will really kill you. I will kill you!” I bit my trembling lips again as I opened my eyes and my vision started becoming blurry. No! I will not cry. I’d rather die than beg him. Never! Slowly, I lifted my face and looked at him sharply. “I will never beg you or anyone.” Paaa! I got another slap on my face. I was sure my face was swollen like a mountain at the moment, but I would never say sorry to him. This *sshole never deserves it! I licked my bleeding lips and spat at him. “Very well, you b*tch.” He glared at me hard and roared at the door, “Beta, put her in the dungeon, and don’t allow her to get a sip of water or any food. “Until she opens her mouth to admit her guilt!” Harry ordered while pushing me down at the door. *** I lost track of time. I didn’t know how long they locked me in the dirty dungeon. It was so dark. Lonely and scary. There was no food or even water. They even deprived me of light. My body felt so numb and painful because of the painful whipping. My legs were weakly pressed on the cold and dirty floor. My stomach is aching because of hunger. My throat and lips were dry. My body is almost lifeless. I’ve lost hope. They’re gonna let me die here. My eyelid slowly closed, but before I could fall into a deep and miserable slumber, the door was pushed open. The sudden invasion of light blinded my eyes painfully. “Amaris!” I thought it was Alpha Harry to ensure my death but it was my father. He aggressively grabbed my jaws, "You don't dare die! I wouldn't allow you to die!" He sounded tense but I didn't even bother to lift my eyelids. I won't be fooled by this hypocritical man anymore. I had been naive enough to believe that he could turn back to be my familiar father if I was submissive enough but to find again and again that the past was only his disguise. Greed, cowardice, and shamelessness were his true colors. He didn't want me to die not because I'm his daughter, but because he didn't want to lose his leverage to ask Harry for money. After all, where would he find another obedient puppet like me? But this time, he was going to be disappointed. I quit. I don't want to put up with this s**t anymore. I’d rather die here than be manipulated by them anymore! The only thing that I hoped was my mother would come and get me when I died. It's been years since I slept well in her arms last time. I miss her. I miss her so much. The moment I felt myself vaguely see the figure of my mother, a cool thing pressed against my face as a flash of light shook my eyes. “Remember this, you b*tch?" My father kept patting my face while shouting, "You better open your fcking eyes or I will destroy this in front of you!” My soul was pulled back as some cold water poured at me. And my eyes widened when I opened my eyes to recognize the thing in my father's hand. It was the precious antique necklace that my mother left for me. Most property of my pack was already sold off by my father and this antique necklace used to be the only one left and the most important to me. My mother told me to keep it well with me before she died and I tried my best. However, I let my guard down when my stepmother instigated my young stepsister Tyra to trick my sympathy. They stole it away but blamed it on me for I didn't keep it properly. I searched the whole pack with all my strength but there was nowhere to find. I thought it was already sold off by them but he kept it until now...waiting to use it and my mother’s memory to manipulate me again. My eyes watered as I cursed my life. “You can’t do that…” He laughed evilly. “Trust me. I can ruin everything for money.” I shook my head and tried to snatch it from him but he ruthlessly pushed my weak body to the ground as he growled at me, “You fcking b*tch! Go and ask for Alpha Harry's mercy and this thing could remain unbroken.” I sobbed and balled my fists as I watched him turn his back and leave. I was once again trapped in the dark, crying painfully. That demon again got my weakness. I'm not even free to die. What a joke is my life! My miserable punishment ended that night. Alpha Harry called me to the bedroom. He was sitting on the single couch like a king, drinking as he watched me with his hawk eyes. “I believe you have something to say, Amaris.” I lifted my chin. Anger is seeping into my heart but I have to suppress it. Slowly, I bowed my head and kneeled in front of him. I heard his laugh. He’s enjoying this. “I’m begging you to forgive me, Alpha.” My lips trembled as my pride shattered painfully inside, “I’m begging you to give me another chance. I will be good. I will never anger you again.” “Just like that, Amaris? You think I’ll forgive you that easily?” “P-Please, Alpha. I’m willing to do anything." I bowed my head even more and glanced at a knife on the coffee table next to a plate of apples, “If...if this is not enough, I can even cut my own finger now to show my sincerity.” I heard him sneer and obviously, he didn't believe I had that guts. I swallowed hard and grabbed the knife. As long as I could be fast enough, it wouldn't hurt for long. I closed my eyes and was about to cut my finger but my hand with the knife was blocked in the air. Then I heard Alpha Harry roaring. “Stop this ridiculous antics, Amaris. You think I’d want a fingerless slave?" I heard his annoyed hiss as he threw the knife away, "Didn’t I tell you, you’re a decoration to my title? Seeing you with a missing finger will be a shame to me!” He squatted in front of me and lifted my chin using his fingers. He caressed my cheeks and smiled softly but his eyes were devilish. He leaned to me licked my cheek and then forced me to meet his gaze. I felt disgusted but I couldn’t do anything. “You have a pair of beautiful eyes, Amaris. If you can curb your sharpness, it could be of better value." He patted my face and gave me a smirk, "I can forgive you but you have to follow me to the Alpha King’s ball. Your value will be explored there."
