VALERIE.

I woke up, feeling my legs throbbing and my vagina hurting. I sat up, letting out a tired, groan to find myself all alone in bed, naked. I immediately grabbed the duvet to cover my body.

Disappointment ran through me as I pouted wondering why they left me all alone in bed, after such a wonderful night.

I didn't think they would do such and why was I sulking and wanting their attention all of a sudden?

Joy, the head of the maids that was so nice to me walked in with a worried expression and some maids trailing behind her, with bowls filled with water and a couple of towels.

She sighted me sitting on the bed while resting my back against the board and dashed to me, sat on the edge of the bed beside me, and checked my body swiftly for any sign of bruises but I guessed she found none.

"How was your night with them?" She inquired, looking at me tenderly. I opened my mouth to speak but paused.

'What was I going to say to her, that I enjoyed it or that it was extremely painful?' I pondered, knowing I felt both pain and pleasure.

"It must have been really good for you to be blushing at a simple question I asked " She commented, and I looked up to see a knowing smile curving on her face.

I immediately looked down at the bed and started playing with my fingers. My cheeks grew red and Joy laughed at my actions.

"Now, don't be shy, lass," She told me, before signaling to the maids to come do their jobs. They came towards me and made to drop the duvet but I refused to allow them.

Aunt Joy looked taken aback at my actions and I knew why. I was never shy to allow the maids to look at my body especially since they helped bathe me, but then one of the Alphas left a mark on my chest and I was too embarrassed to let them see it.

"Everything okay?" She inquired and I shook my head sideways, before taking in a deep breath and dropping down the duvet. I exposed my body and I could hear low, silent gasps escaping the maids’ mouths.

I was way too embarrassed to look them in the face and continued staring down at the bed. I knew my whole body was covered in bite marks from my chest, arm, and tummy.

"They sure left their imprints." Joy gushed and I felt the ground should open up and swallow me.

The maids cleaned my body with the towel and water and decided to get me dressed in my nightgown then we realized it was torn.

Another round of embarrassment as I could hear the maids giggling amongst themselves. Thankfully, they thought that might happen and brought another pair of gowns with them.

I wore it and made to get up from the bed when I yelped a little, lost my balance and fell back on the bed, bouncing on it. I had forgotten my legs still hurt like hell. Joy brought out an ointment and applied it on my legs and thighs.

I was made to rest for five minutes then when I tried to get up again with the help of one of the maids, I was able to. The pain had reduced and I could walk back to my chambers.

I was immediately prepared for, a hot bath to relax my body and help with my thighs. My head was being massaged as I enjoyed my bath. It was paradise. I was fed afterward and dressed up in a free, off-shoulder gown.

My hair was let down but styled with clips. I got bored of sitting in the room and decided to take a stroll around the palace garden, with the help of a maid, named Rita.

It was more like a tour as she showed me the beautiful flowers and even educated me on their names. Aunt Joy had gone back to the kitchen with the other maids to help prepare dinner.

I couldn't believe I slept till mid-afternoon. I must have been really exhausted. I bent on my knees, plucked a pink rose, and inhaled the intoxicating smell, with a smile on my face.

I will be here for a long time so I better enjoy it.

..........

It's been two weeks now since I resided in this realm and palace and things seemed to be going fine at first but then turned awful.

Luna Queen didn't like me, and saw me as a threat. She would break things and then frame it on me. One time, she broke the favourite vase belonging to Jason and planted the evidence on me.

I tried defending myself but then Jason flipped and had me sent to the army barracks—where his men and soldiers trained fiercely for my punishment.

I was whipped till I collapsed and was still made to have sex with them afterwards. This place was hell and currently, I was in the kitchen with Joy who kept watching me cautiously.

"What?" I asked, finding her stare so creepy that it made my skin crawl and my stomach rumble.

"You are eating too much." She pointed out, referring to the empty plates of food before me so I frowned at her.

"And they are weird combinations." She gestured to me eating bread and beans pudding with her nose wrinkled in disgust but I didn't care and continued eating my meal.

Just then, nausea hit me and I immediately ran to the sink and threw out everything in my stomach while she watched me in awe.

"I am not surprised by this, considering what you are chewing." She mocked, laughing while I tried not to stare at my vomit, beads of sweat glistening on my forehead.

"You are even gaining weight like a pregnant woman." She laughed again but stopped immediately, color draining from her face.
