Chapter 14
1038 Words
The possibility of being invaded here is high, as I have been surrounded by men. Behind these walls were other slaves sleeping, and even the slightest creaking sound would be heard.
I practically heard their loud snores, they seem to be competing.
Worse things might happen to me at any time. So I decided to stay awake and wait until morning.
The moon rose high and proud in the sky as I bathed in its dim light.
I could not afford to sleep. But my eyes began to get heavier with every passing hour.
Right then, I noticed my doorknob jingled and creaked eeriely open. I quickly shut my eyes and pretended to be asleep in my sitting position, then I waited.
Thud

Their steps were getting closer.
At the exact timing, I opened my eyes, and with my enhanced vision, their faces were clear with malice and craze.
They were a bit shocked to see me awake and took a step back. Probably my glowing eyes scared them.
"Tsk," the first man in front of me smugged.
"Leave." I warned, but they did not back down. There were three of them; all were dirty human slaves.
I inched back when they took a step forward. They chuckled deeply.
"You can shout all you want; no one will care." The other men laughed.
They appear to be too confident in my being unarmed. I could not hold myself back from unclenching my fingers.
I am not a professional fighter, but when my beast comes out, I am a savage. Let us see how they will survive this. However, I reminded myself again that I cannot expose the dark side of me. I will have to use other alternatives to defend myself.
Suddenly, my adrenaline kicks in when I realize that the masking spray will wear off tomorrow. I know I became paler before their eyes. I can see it on their faces.
But I will have to worry about it tomorrow; I needed to think fast and survive through the night.
With such little space to move, I maneuvered myself away from the first man in front of me when he was about to tackle me. I pulled him, colliding his head against the wall.
The next man tried to trap me in his arms. But I stumped on his foot, kicked his groin, and heard him scream. I was about to run through the door when a fist collided with my jaw.
I landed on my back and grunted painfully. It was quite a punch.
They took this chance and pulled me to them. One man strangled my hands over my head; the other was on top of me. I could not move my feet when the last person held them down.
I struggled to get them off of me as I did my best to scream at them.
Sadly, no one was coming for me.
"Get off!"
"Ha, ha, ha. Fiesty, aren't you?" His smelly mouth neared my nose. I almost puked.
"Help!" Against these skinny men, I was powerful with their numbers and strength.
"Do not waste your time, sweety. I will have my fill on you." He pulled out a long knife and aimed it at my neck.
Smack!
"What about us?"
"Do not worry; you will have your turn. It has been so long since we have seen a female. You, dear, have no choice but to fulfill our desire." His filthy hands glided up to one of my breasts. I wanted to cry.
They gave me no choice but to use my powers then.
Before he could grope me further. His sickening giggles ended with blood gushing out of his body.
My sharp crystal went through his heart. He had no time to react and landed on the floor with a thud.
"Wha-"
I shot the next person behind him and the last one who was holding my arms. I made sure to aim for their vital parts.
They have been warned, and I did not regret what I did.
I did not move for a while. Lying on the floor with their pool of blood bathing me, for the first time today, I felt warm.
A minute later, I sat up and took their knife, striking back to use it as a murder weapon.
I was in a daze once more.
The man I annoyed earlier came rushing in with heavy sweat on his forehead. He had a bruise in his mouth.
"Are you okay?" He heaved hard, trying to catch his breath. He must have run up the stairs to get to me.
But my reply was only an unemotional stare.
I am certain that he is not going to hurt me.
It did not take him long to realize what I had done; nevertheless, he does not seem to comment about these bodies or the pool of blood around me.
I sat there longer, he, however, did not leave my side, but I did not care and waited till the sun rose up.
No words were exchanged between us, only the sweet silence.
As the sun slowly rose, the warriors heavy steps surrounded my door. I waited for them to regard me as a savage Lycan.
"Human female!"
My head snapped to the Lycan, whom I hadn't seen before.
They still think of me as a human?
Maybe because I was covered in blood, they still regard me as one.
"Greetings, Gamma Clent." The person who never left my side kneeled in front of him. "She was attacked and acted in self-defence. Please do not punish her."
Why would this guy speak for me? I thought he did not like me.
My eyes never left this Gamma warrior, with curiosity written on my face. I did not know they regard other ranks with their tittle.
Gamma is the third in command, according to my knowledge. So he must be the Lycan King's third-hand man.
"Your words does not concern me, slave. Step aside."
The guy was reluctant until he was forcibly pushed back.
The warriors grabbed me, and I did not protest or plead. I guess I'll have to see what's going to happen to me next.
