CHAPTER THIRTEEN
CAMILLE’S POV :
I woke up to another large bucket of water emptied on my face. My body ached.
“Wakey wakey….. you have company. This wouldn’t end well for you”.
And opening my eyes , I saw the last person I didn’t want to see right now.
My hands were both tied to the ceiling separately but my legs were free. This wasn’t good but she pushed me.
ALPHA AIDEN’S POV :
As soon as I was done with Laila and she had slept off after some time, I went down to the dungeon. Camille was hanged and knocked out.
“Pour some water on her to wake her up” I ordered and they did. She didn’t expect to see me so soon did she? I caught her shocked face before she could cover it. I walked up to her slowly , counting my steps as she gulped and looked away from me.
Look at how filthy she looks, tied up to a ceiling.
“I want you to give me a reason why you display that stupid act today Camille” I commanded her to speak but she ignored me.
“Speak now” I used my Alpha’s voice on her and she couldn’t resist that. It’s a painful thing to use your Alpha voice on your mate but I couldn’t care less when I saw a glimpse of hurt on her face.
“Did she tell you that she hit me?” She asked me. I didn’t know she did that and I’m sure she would have had a reason.
“Did she tell you of how she called my parents a waste just because they died without completing an order?” She cried out, snarling.
“And that gave you the right to attack your Luna. Have you no shame”. I asked her as I went to her back, grabbing her hair and pulling her neck backwards.
“That doesn’t give you the right to lay a finger on your Luna” I told her releasing my grip from her hair and moving back to stand in front of her.
“Doesn’t give me a right you say? She called them a waste. It’s all your parents fault with their stupid order. Even after my parents were killed at battle they didn’t even acknowledge the fact that my dad had done everything to keep this pack safe with my mum at his side” she shouted , raising her voice at me.
And then I lost it and slapped her so hard that her head turned.
“I’m your Alpha and you won’t ever speak to me that way or speak about my parents or family that way ever again”.
“Don’t Aiden” I heard my wolf growl.
“Don’t ever raise your hand on my mate , you will hate me” I could feel the pain in his voice.
“Then maybe she should learn how to talk and when to keep her mouth sh–” I couldn’t finish my word as he shut me out.
CAMILLE’S POV :
I couldn’t believe he just hit me. I poured out the blood I felt in my mouth as tears rolled down my face.
“Is this the kind of mate you want Luna?” I asked her as I could hear her crying out and trying to take some of the pain I felt. We were both in pain from being hit by our mate.
Luna couldn’t say a word as she just cried and cried. I couldn’t hold back my own tears, I turned my face to the side and let it flow freely.
“As for your punishment for hurting your Luna, you will receive 10 strokes of lashes at your back by one of the warriors” Aiden announced, I couldn’t care less, he should as well as have them kill me.
Soon I was cut loose and put down on a table , I didn’t know there was a table in here. When I looked around for the first time, I found out I was in the torture room. I was scared i won’t lie but I had no way out.
They lied me to the table and ties my feet and legs, as the warrior who would whip me arrived.
“We will both share the pain Camille, I gat you sister” Luna said as she got all ready, no matter how much it will hurt.
At the first hit, the pain wasn’t too intense but at the second one I groaned painfully. There came the third, fourth, fifth and then I screamed out in pain. My mate watched as I was whipped and stood there doing nothing.
Tears rolled down my face as I cried out. The next hit came , I could feel my back tearing apart. This warrior wasn’t taking it easy on me at all. He kept on giving hard hits and finally the last one, the tenth.
I was very weak as I welcomed the darkness that called out for me.
ALPHA AIDEN’S POV :
I felt some kind of pain as I watched her being hit. There was a time when I turned around and couldn’t watch it no matter how much I hated her, I just couldn’t. My wolf had begged me to make them stop but I declined and let them whip her until the last one as she lost consciousness.
I ordered them to leave as I cut her loose and carried her back to her dungeon. I laid her on the bed and left.
Going back to the house, I freshened up. I didn’t like the smell of her blood on me. I went down to the kitchen to look for the one person that would go and treat her wounds well with care.
Miss Clara, I loved the woman. She has been my nanny for a long while now and I know she loves Camille as a daughter but that couldn’t stop my hate.
“Afternoon Nana” I greeted in the usual way a call her.
“Hi my boy, do you need anything?” She asked me , cleaning her hands on her skirt where her apron lies.
“Yes I need you to help clean Camille up in the dungeon” I informed her, telling her things she would do, the worry on her face was visible
