Chapter 12: VOICES IN HER HEAD
Zuri hadn't decided on a punishment for Faye yet. To be honest, she didn't even want to see her again, even though she had an upper hand right now and that omega's fate was in her hands. She could ban her from this pack, just like her father told her to do.
However, that was not what she really wanted. She didn't know what she wanted. In her eyes, both Xaden and Faye were the same. It wouldn't have come to this if Xaden had been committed to this union.
"You need to lose a little more weight," Karina said, as she helped Zuri bathe.
Her mother came to her bedroom suddenly before she dismissed Esther and Sarah and took over their job of bathing her.
It had been a while since her mother saw her naked and she was always obsessed with her figure. She would know if Zuri gained even an ounce more weight and would tell her to stop eating like a pig.
"I was recovering." From miscarriage.
Zuri didn't say the latter part out loud. She still felt weird with the very idea. It felt like someone gave her something, but it was gone even before she knew what it was. It also didn't help that she had been spending her time in bed, pretending to be sick and recuperating when the truth was; she simply felt tired.
She was exhausted, even though she did nothing but sleep all day long.
Therefore, in the past few weeks, she had just been sleeping and eating. And because of what happened to her, nobody thought much. They assumed she was mourning the loss of her baby and Zuri didn't have the energy to correct them.
"You need to lose weight."
That was all her mother said. There was no arguing with her about it. She wanted her to look perfect. Because in her twisted mind, the best weapon for women like them was their body. They needed to appear appealing in order to capture their mate's attention, only then they could have a comfortable life and their word weighed something.
"Zuri, do you understand me?" Karina scrubbed her skin raw. It was too hard for her liking, but she didn't protest. She was used to the pain. Everyone in her life tried to hurt her.
"Yes, mother." The answer came instantly, she had no other option to answer her differently.
Zuri stood next to the bed and stared at the door when it swung open and revealed Xaden's figure. The alpha was tall and big. His body looked like it was built with muscles. He was handsome with brown eyes that looked almost dark and those eyes were on her.
Just like all the alphas, he exuded power and authority. Even without saying anything, his presence was strong enough and he looked calm and composed, tempting Zuri to scratch his face.
'Scratch him.'
'Kick him.'
'Claw him.'
There. The voices echoed in her head. This was what happened when she didn't drink her medicine. These heathen voices would urge her to do something outrageous, daring her to follow through.
"Let's get it over with quickly," Xaden said.
How sweet. That was the first thing he said to his mate when he was going to fuck her.
'Blood will look good on him.'
'Cut his throat.'
'Gauge his eyes out.'
"Let's do it." Zuri tuned out the voices in her head and started to undress herself. She couldn't see the point in herself wearing this dress in the first place.
Xaden did the same. It was only a task for them.
