ASHANTI’S POV.

“You have just two hours to clean this bathroom.” The s e v a n t who leads the way into the bathroom. says as we take a stand at the center. Today is day two of my punishment and not only am I starving because the last time I had a meal was about twenty -four hours ago, I feel vindictive because of the injustice going on in this Ha e m. “After which you will go back to scrubbing the toilets.” I snap my head in her direction, my brows furrowing and irritation brewing in my veins.

“I… I cleaned the toilets yesterday. I scrubbed all the walls and floors and toilet seats as instructed.

They don’t need that much cleaning anymore. today.” I try to explain. She snorts, crossing her

arms across her breasts and eyeing me from head to toe with sheer disgust.

“Says whom?”

“Says anyone who has eyes to see that the toilet walls don’t need anymore scrubbing today.” She’s taken aback by my sudden outburst.

“You dare talk back to me?” She sneers. I exhale heavily, not even bothering to respond to her.

That’s her gateway to making me earn another round of punishment. It’ll do me good to ignore her.

“Fine.” I croak. “I’ll head to the toilets after I’m done cleaning this bathroom.”

“As you cho

Her sneer turns into a wide,

provocative grin. My fists are vibrating by my side. My jaws are ticking with rage.

One punch.

Just one punch and my day will be made.

“That said, get to work. This will teach you a lesson never to touch other people’s belongings again.

Thief!”

“I am not a thief!” The words fly out of my mouth before I can stop them. She cackles, shakes her head and exits the bathroom in fluid motion.

I want to fall on the floor and wail. Curse my life. Curse them for making things difficult for me. I want to walk out that door and take on my heels till I’m out of these quarters and this pack as a whole.

And when I think my day cannot get any worse, the door to the bathroom opens up. My malicious step- sister walks in and the moment she sees me, a grim smile fleets across her lips. My face turns granite.

“I knew I’d find you here.” She stops a few meters away from me.

“I like how you keep your distance. Once beaten, twice shy.” Her eyes almost get stuck at the back of her head as she rolls them.

“I’m not afraid of you.” She tries to deny it as usual.

“If that’s the case then, I dare you to come closer.” A long beat passes. She doesn’t bulge. A grim half laugh touches my lips.

“I thought as much.” The air between us is charged. Take a deep breath and you’ll get shocked to death. When I see that she has nothing to say to me, I turn to find a bucket and mop to start with my work.

“You are nothing, Ashanti.” She shouts out. I pause, spin around and squint at her. She takes three steps closer to me. “That’s a fact that seems to keep slipping out of your mind. You were nothing back at home and you still have no value over here. I won’t stop causing trouble to remind you of that fact until it’s tattooed in your mind and you can know your place.” Her words ricochets through my brain like a bullet. Indignation unfurls in my stomach. I look at her carefully, thinking of a thousand things I could do to hurt her right now. To make her bleed.

Ram her head into the nearby wall.

Pin her to the ground and punch her face till it’s covered in blood and bruises. Till she goes numb.

Grab her hair and drag her miserable body against this floor till her entire body is covered with bruises.

Just so many things I can do to hurt her right now, but I decide against it.

The fact that she has stooped so low doesn’t mean I should. I flash her a small smile.

“Every insult that comes out of your mouth…” I take one step forward. ” every action you take against me… “Another step. “…only goes ahead to prove one thing. The fact that you are weak.

That you are threatened by me.”

“What?” She snorts. “Don’t be delusional. I am not threatened by you. You will never be like me.”

“Yes, I will never be pathetic? Ever!”

“How dare you!” She raises her hand to hit me but stops mid-air when I say;

“I dare you.” My voice is lowered. Dark and full of unspoken threats. Fresh terror stabs her face. Her hand drops to her side as she takes a few steps back, swallowing dryly. Fire is scorching my veins, searing me from inside out. As the days go by, I can feel myself starting to hate her for real.

She clears her throat and lifts her chin, masking the terror on her face with a confident look.

“That doesn’t change the fact that I’ll always cause problems for you and Ma’am Lisa will take my side. Your physical strength won’t help you here, Ashanti. I’m out to destroy you and I won’t stop until you are reduced to less than nothing in the eyes of everyone in this pack. Watch and see.”

“And while you are at it, make sure to stay at least one mile radius away from me because the next time I get a hold of you, I’ll ram my fist into your stomach and tear out your g**a

m n spine. And you won’t be able to make my life miserable if you’re dead, will you?” I raise a brow at her. A silent chuckle tumbles from her lips.

“I can’t wait to c r i p l e that confidence of yours.” “Get out of here before I dec i d e to rip out your spine right now.” I threaten with a deadly tone. She

clears her throat and opens her mouth to say something, but stops and seals her lips shut. She then proceeds to exit the bathroom with fluid movement.

As she walks out of the door, a young s r v a n t walks in with an eternal frown masked on her face.

“Ashanti, you have been summoned by the Lycan King. Follow me.’

Kill. Me. Now!
