Lost In His Kingdom

5. The King

"Hey get us out of here. I know what you are doing is not legal." I said boldly. The three werewolves stopped their conversation and turned their attention to me.

I was beyond nervous. Robin looked from the werewolf to me and back to the werewolf again. She was waiting for something to happen. So was all the other girls.

"Shut up or I will kill you here" said one of the prison guards.

"Then kill me. I was supposed to be dead. But I am not going to be sold." I said stubbornly. "in fact I will yell. Let the people in the place know what you are up to"  

That got me some reactions from all of them. Including the Luca who was glaring at me before.

"Do you not want others to know?" I asked. Their face was priceless. I know for a fact that the other werewolves are not far from here. The sound of soft music is still playing. Although it's too gentle. Meaning most guests are gone and the celebration is about to end.

 This means if we make enough noise someone will notice. If they are doing what I think they are, meaning something illegal then someone will stop them. The risk is if they are doing something that most are associated with, it will be our end. However it will be worth the risks.
 
Luca came forward and as I was standing close to the cell he grabbed me by my neck. The girls gasped. And I was struggling to get air.

"This is your last warning. Shut your trap or die'' Luca said those words very seriously while choking me.
 
"Yes yes she will" Robin said and came in our direction. Fear and urgency in her voice. Luca looked from my now growing purple face to her terrified one and loosen the grip from my neck. I landed with a thump and cough.

"Good. This is your last warning." He said and then turned around to leave.

But me being too high one braveness ignored the warning.

"Why are you scared? That the king will find out?" I said, In between coughing and taking breaths.

"Shut up shut up Theia. Please stop" Robin said urgently. "Please please stop"

She tried to take me away from my position to save me from another choking session however I was not ready to end my argument here.

Luca again took dangerous steps in my direction but one of the prison guards stopped him.
 
"The king is coming in this direction. Cedric just mind linked me." He said to luca. And for the second time I saw werewolves, those big bad werewolves lose the color of their face.
 
"What? How is that possible?" Luca said. "Why would the king come here? He was not supposed to"
 
By the sound of it I knew they were fucked. I looked at robin. Her face was as shocked as the rest. When I look at the rest of them I could tell they were thinking the same thing as I. This is the chance that we need. To stop this. To stop being sold.
 
"Quickly hide them. Make sure they don't make any noise. Especially this one" Luca said, turning to me.

The two prison guards came toward us. But when they tried to open the cell I went and grabbed a torch and burned his hand. The guard screamed and backed away. Another one started growling at us.
 
"Stay the fuck away from us." I said, I urged the other girls to get as far from the prison gate as they can. I kept the torch in my hand just in case.

The three of the werewolves growled. "You think you can stop us?" one of them screamed. And I say "hell yeah."

I wanted them to scream. I wanted them to attract people. Werewolves have good hearing. And someone who is as powerful as the alpha can detect a sound from long distance without any problem.
 
The moment they stepped toward us the door opened. And everyone froze. Five six people came in at first and surrounded the room. Then came two guys and the tension in the room got even bigger.

Both of them are tall and broad. Raw power coming from them and making my head heavy. However one of them looked straight toward me like he was searching for me. As if he came just for me. He didn't look toward anyone at first but me. And I too forget for a moment what was happening around me.
 
The tallest of them all, with dark hair and sharp blue eyes, froze me in my spot with his gaze. A handsome face with magnificent aura was forcing me to give all my utmost attention to him just by standing there, looking.
 
However I came back to reality when the second guy took everyone's attention with his voice. "What hell is happening here?"

And with that we all remembered the situation we were in.  More than a dozen women are in prison. One of them holding a fire torch in her hand while others are backing away from the prison door. Three werewolves present in a room that looks like it has never been used before.
 
"My king," Luca said and got on his knees. The other two followed his footsteps and got down too. And that too in front of the tall man who was holding my gaze.

My eyes got bigger than they have ever been in my whole life. He is the king. That delicious looking tall giant who was looking at me that intensely is the king. Fuck.
 
"What is happening? Explain now" the man beside the king asked Luca angrily. Luca, still on his knees tried to find words. But he couldn't. So I volunteered.  

"He was trying to sell us" I said and just like that every pair of eyes were on me. My heart started beating faster. I forgot we were not to talk if we were not asked any questions. But the situation is different. I had to talk.
 
"What?" the man beside the king asked. "By whose command?"

And no one said a word.

"Come out here" the man said to us. A guard broke the lock and took the torch out of my hand. And we all came out of the cell one by one. Everyone was frightened and undertrained by the course of the situation.

"Who tried to sell you?" asked the same man to me.
This time though I did not have the power to speak for some reason and pointed to Luca. Everyone silently looked from me to him.

Luca on the other hand was furious that a slave was pointing her finger at him. So he growled at me and came at me with his werewolf speed.

"You lying bitch" he screamed and slapped me hard. This was the most painful one. The force knocked me out on the floor and the king for some reason with his werewolf speed grabbed him by his neck and slammed him in the wall.

"You dare raise a hand against someone who is mine. How dare you?" the king growled. And that was the most vicious werewolf growl I have ever seen in my life.

"You will pay for this" he said and snapped his neck. The girl gasped. I, on the other hand was losing my consciousness.

The last thing I saw before passing out was the king's footsteps as I lay in the ground. Unable to move. He slid my hair from my face and put his palm on the side of my check. And then nothing.
