CAGED BETWEEN THE LYCANS
CHAPTER THREE
**Kaylan**
"Did your mother curse you in the womb before giving birth to you? How dare you?!" Alpha Gareth thundered in a harsh breath and She fell on her knees, trembling immensely.
"I'm so sorry!" She whimpered but felt her hair being pulled backward and was slapped hard.
"I hate apologies idiot!" He screeched heavily at her kicking off the food crumbs on his body and she swallowed.
How the hell did she get careless with Gareth whose anger could last for more than three days?
She knew how dangerous he was than his elder brother but still fell into his trap.
"I prefer actions to a mere useless word, get inside there and prepare a bath Immediately!" Kaylan gasped in hot tears and shook her head.
"Please…just give me a few minutes, I'll do that right away!" She begged as she knew Cypher was waiting for his meal. Cypher would bury her alive for wasting his time as his food was already spilled. Her hands and lips trembled with a drumming chaos in her head knowing that she woke up on the wrong side of the floor today.
A kick was sent to her face as she groaned in disgust.
"Repeat that and I'll throw you in the dungeon!" He fired at her and walked out while she exhaled in huge pain.
Her body was weak and sore from the pain and excess chores and beating. How the hell would she condone what was waiting for her?
"Why not just run?" Her wolf, Mina, lamented harshly in pain not able to contain the anger and she shook her head.
"Not now, they will find me."
She'll leave but not immediately. She managed to stand up to clear the spilled food on the floor but the loud voice that echoed inside sent everyone shaking.
Good Lord!
Her name echoed out again and she burst into tears and stood up, the guards at the entrance were staring at her with pity.
Cypher was definitely yelling at her name impatiently and Gareth was probably going to wait for his bath, serving two dangerous souls was already a suicide mission and now he wants to have her life so remarkable by being Luna.
She swallowed hard, went into the huge Pack palace, and walked to the living room.
"Why the fuck are you here when you should be in my room?" Gareth fired in disgust and Cypher stood up from the chair
"Where's my meal?"
She cowered at his deep voice the most, resigning to her punishment. It was useless saying a word to these Lycans when they sent her errands.
"I mistakenly spilled your food Alpha, I will receive…" She cried in pain and sniffed as her back ached terribly at the words she was about to say.
How could she receive any punishment right now?
"Please forgive me, I'll prepare another meal." She sniffed and fell to her knees, covering her face on the ground but raised it in fear when she felt his footsteps come closer.
Was he going to hit her?
"Of course, I will," he came closer and bent so close till their face was barely inches from each other, making her curse Inwardly as his eyes reflected on hers. They were always devilishly beautiful.
"I will forgive you when I become your personal saviour and salvation but right now," He scoffed and flicked his golden brown hair to the back. "You are the personal maid and I demand your service without errors!" He yelled and almost slammed her head to the wall in anger but restrained, her eyes were shut anticipating the usual pain and the cold wet liquid that usually trickled down her face each time she messed up but nothing happened and she bit her lips hard from fear, wondering if there's another punishment he had in mind that's worse than this.
"How dare you starve me?" He rumbled out, straining his voice to yell and she swallowed, wanting to apologise again when Gareth chirped in.
"I think you're getting ahead of yourself Cypher, she serves us and she needs to attend to me first cause she burnt my skin," Gareth said casually, obviously irritated at his brother who turned to him and glared.
"Excuse me?" He asked, faking a surprise.
"You heard me, stop claiming her, and if she doesn't get up from that place right now to prepare my bath, I'll squeeze the last string of life in her and dump her in the dungeon!"
Gareth said with an arrogant pose and he stared at the face of his brother in scorn.
"I dare you Kaylan, get up from there!" Cypher blasted not diverting his gaze and Kaylan knew another war would start between the duo.
They were both Alphas of the great Crescent Moon Pack but to her, they were the royal cat and dogs of the home waging a war against each other on who fit the throne the most.
They were so admired by many, she's a secret admirer herself and can't deny the pure work of nature on these two people no matter how badly she disliked them but it was the reverse case for the brothers, nobody's existence matters aside from the throne and their beauty.
Cypher being the eldest had it all, he was so fucking attractive and his golden hair made him look like some heavenly Prince of Persia with ocean-blue eyes to keep anyone captivated.
He was daring, bold, and cocky which accentuates his sexy features from his head to toe. Gareth being the youngest was like a bunny, cute and fluffy with his jet-black hair. He was tall but Cypher surpassed him, maybe 6 to 7 ft tall which she can't decipher but he was good. Too good and proud.
He was so beautiful, too fucking good to be wicked.
She thanked her wolf for knowing her place when she was with them, she controlled herself even though they both felt like letting go of whatever grudge they had against them and becoming shameless by touching themselves with their images in her head. She couldn't help it but with their daily harsh treatment, She saw them as enchanting devils.
"You don't have to dare, that's so childish. She must do what we tell her to do, stop acting like a king when you don't even have the traits of being a Prince!"
"Gareth!!" Cypher screeched at his brother's words and punched the walls.
"Do you think you can take over that throne dear big brother? The moon goddess announcement is not enough, get Luna within three days, and let's see how competent you are!"
He smirked at Cypher who scoffed and turned to stare at Kaylan and her heart ripped at such a stare.
"What did I tell you about those rags you're putting on?"
He queried and she bit her lips hard and bowed in apology and stood up, hoping that he wouldn't stop her.
"Get my meal and attend to him later, I'm in a good mood today!" He said, Gareth wanted to oppose but kept quiet which made her feel at ease and disappeared from their sight.
The next few minutes were hell for Kaylan with the maids as she managed to fix another meal and kept it in Cypher's room which already had visitors.
"Bring it out here" he blurted out and she did so.
It was a breakfast of scrambled eggs, toast bread, and hot coffee. He took the coffee and poured it on her skin as if he was waiting for such a moment which burned terribly and swerved a punch at the sides of her ribs.
"When I stake a claim on something, I expect such a thing to be as neat as ever!" He yelled and kicked the table in fury startling the men sitting beside him.
"Get lost!"Kaylan nodded and managed to get up but he poured the contents of the food on her instead which caught the attention of the council members, sitting and waiting patiently for him to give his contributions on the matter at hand.
"Not you!" He referred to her and stared at the men. He was referring to the men in anger and his eyes glowed darkly as if they had uttered an Insult to him.
"But Alpha, the general Pack meeting is tomorrow and you haven't said anything concerning your Luna!"
One of the men said and he glared at them fiercely.
"Who said I haven't?" He bellowed at the bald man with white strands of beard.
"Well, it seems your younger brother might end up taking over the throne instead?"
The stout elderly man said and she gasped out loud, earning stares but it was nothing compared to Cypher's piercing stare.
"How dare you say such a thing?" He growled and had a slight smirk at the corner of his lips.
"It's because he already has a Luna he's willing to marry so that the throne won't be vacant." He retorted at Cypher and Vasperia shook her head in disbelief as if they were talking to her.
That's impossible.
Cypher and Gareth might be endowed with heavenly features and beauty but they dislike the opposite gender like a plaque.
She has served them for a while and knows what she is talking about, the throne is vacant and he would do anything to take over, but where the hell did he get Luna?
"Where the hell did he get Luna?" Cypher asked harshly but they shrugged and he dismissed them.
He stared at Kaylan for a while and bit his lips while gauging his thoughts before reaching out to her through the mind-link.
"Get prepared Kaylan, we are getting married."
He smirked and hot tears burned in her eyes.
