The Lycan Series
Bullied By The Lycan King Chapter 87

Violet's

POV

It was like being stuck"in a body that you couldn't control, that was how I felt as Axel argued with his aunt -for my sake.

The pain of the whips he had managed to land on my body didn't even register in my head. The emotional pain was more than the physical and I was lost in between.

I knew that Axel was very angry with me. I knew that he had placed restricting orders against me. T knew that our relationship or whatever it was we had, was over. I had lost all privileges but what I didn't know was how bad the situation had truly gotten. Axel was ready to tie me up and beat me -the same me who had stood by him in every circumstance in our childhood. My tears could not even snap me out of the pain because I was lost. I was going down, and he happily pressed me deeper until I was drowning. He was supposed to be in love with me. He was hoping that one day he would propose to marry me, and our union would be greater than the one people said his parents had. I thought if the world would burn someday, he would be there to save me. But now, I realize that all my life, I had nurtured the wrong thoughts. He wasn't

-going to save me if the world was burning because he set it on fire with the sole purpose of getting me killed.

"Violet, you are fine now... it's fucking over now..." Emily's words reached my ears, and my eyes became too heavy to reach her.

Greg had taken Axel away and now it was just her and me. I felt her fingers around my wrists that were bound. She untied my hands and released me from the pole that held me upright. As my body came crashing down, she was quick to hold me back and the force snapped all my pain back to my head.

It was then I knew that my punishment was over. She had saved me and my child from the one who had placed it inside me.

The shock of the pain and the situation overwhelmed me and all I could do as my eyes finally met her worried one was to shed tears.

"Don't cry, Violet... Axel is a fucking fool, but I am going to make sure we get to the bottom of this. I am going to fucking replace out about your real parents, and I will bring him proof, then he will beg for this day. Mark my f*****g words!" she hissed.

"Emily... I don't- I can't.." I tried to speak but words choked in my throat, and I found myself unable to say the things my mind thought of. I could only shake my head as more tears trickled down my face.

Emily wiped my tears with her thumb and then she wrapped her arms around me and pulled me in for a hug. "You don't have to worry. Cry if you must but do not f*****g worry... all of these would be over soon..."

I let her smooth hand comfort me to a point I could speak and then I took a deep breath.

"You don't have... Emily you don't have to go anywhere. If he doesn't want me -if he doesn't believe me then there is nothing we can do. Let it go and just... forget about it..." I whimpered, finally able to say the words I wanted.

It was useless trying to prove my innocence to someone who had already condemned me. What was the point? Because at the end of the day, he still wouldn't believe me.

"Fuck No!" Emily hissed, pulling my head back so she could investigate my face.

"What the fuck are you saying?"

"Axel is never going to believe me..." I tried to say with more strength, but I only ended up crying harder.

Emily's eyes shone bright as she pulled me back into a hug. "Let's get you home," she whispered and then pulled me up to my feet.

I could barely feel my legs as she carried most of my weight back to the slave quarters. Everyone cleared the path for her, not wanting to earn her wrath.

"Violet!" Sky screamed in fear

as she saw us approaching. She quickly ran to meet

with us halfway and she helped Emily take me back to her small sleeping area.

"What happened?" she whispered to me as her eyes went over my body.

I wanted to reply to her, but my body was exhausted. All I wanted to do was to sleep and forget about the entire world.

"Get me some warm water and two towels," Emily instructed as she placed me on the makeshift bed, Sky and I shared.

Sky hurriedly left the room only to return a few minutes later with the bowl of water and the towels in her hand. She handed it to Emily who tore open what was left of my shirt and started cleaning my body up. "Argh!" I screamed in pain.

Emily paused but as I swallowed the pain back, she resumed, cleaning me with so much precision, it left me thinking how many times she might have done this. I remembered our conversation before I went to Axel, and I wondered if her brother had done this to her

too.

When she was done, I felt a lot better than I did when we came in and I finally gave in to my body demands, letting sleep take me to a peaceful place.

By the time my eyes fluttered open about four hours later, the sleeping space looked different.

So different that I sat up at once scared that I might have been taken to the wrong place. There was a bed and a chair in the room. A fan was also brought with a whole lot of fresh blankets.

I was starting to believe Emily took me to another person's space when the flap pushed open and Sky stepped in.

"Violet, you are awake," she exclaimed as her worried eyes fell on me.

I sat up immediately and pointed at the space. "Where am I? Whose space is this?" The worry in her eyes vanished and she smiled. "You should thank the king's aunt for all of these. She was so worried about your comfort that she had all these beautiful things brought down here for you..."

My eyes returned to the items in question and a small smile lingered on my lips.

One thing crossed my mind, they were beautiful but was it what I wanted?

The corners of my eyes noticed Sky moving towards the flap in a hurry and I turned my eyes to her. "Where are you going?"

"Oh, she asked that I come to her as soon as you woke up. There are some things she wants to speak to you about..." she explained.

I nodded at her even if deep down, I didn't think I wanted to speak to her. What could she say that would make this better?

My life was already mapped out. I was going to remain a slave to Axel all my life.

I would probably have a child that would grow up without the love of a father and a mother who was too weak to fight. What was the whole point of it?

The flap opened a moment later and Emily stepped in after Sky. Her eyes were no longer glowing as they had, and she looked more like her usual self though I could still see the traces of anger in her eyes. She pulled a chair and sat down in front of me. "How do you feel?" she asked in a low voice.

I shrugged and forced a smile on my face. "I am fine, I guess..." I whispered.

She placed her hand on mine, and she squeezed them. "You will be eventually... all this madness is going to fucking end and you will even smile about it." Of course, I didn't believe a word she said. I didn't even believe my own heart and I was too tired to explain or defend myself, so as she spoke, I nodded, agreeing to everything she said.

"I will be embarking on the journey to the forgotten lands first thing tomorrow morning," she said, and I saw her eyes flash with seriousness. "Is there anything you remember that might be useful to me?"

Her determination to help me was very kind of her and if anyone had told me that Emily would be the one to help me, I would have denied it. But it was happening in front of me...

Maybe her quest was useless, but the intentions were pure and that was what pushed me to give her the answer she sought.

"They said she was a human spy sent to kill the Lycan king that ruled that part of the world... but she fell in love instead," I whispered, recollecting as much as I could.

"Did they give you a name?" Emily asked but I shook my head slowly.

"No, just that story.." I mumbled.

Her hands squeezed mine once more and our eyes met. "I will replace out the f*****g truth to that story Violet, I promise..."
