Chapter 33
Alpha Ethan’s POV
I watched as she walked out of the dining room. I knew Olivia’s words to her was harsh, but she deserves it not when she is a witch.
She wasn’t worthing worry.
And yet, something about the fear in her eyes… it thrilled me.
I hated her for what she did to my wolf. For the lies for the manipulations. And the more I thought about it, the more cartain I became she would not walk away unpunished. No. I was going to make her suffer, make fier wish she’d never been born. She would regret every breath she took under my roof.
A dark smile curled at the edge of my lips as a plan formed in my head.
“Get Raven–the maid–to my office,” I mind-linked one of the guards. “Now”
“Yes, Alpha
I pushed open the double doors to my office, the large space already filled with the scent of leather and firewood, I didn’t bother lighting the fireplace, i wanted the chill in the alt 1 wanted her to feel it when she stepped in. The cold. The silence. The fear.
I moved to the chair behind my desk, folding my arms as I sat, waiting.
It didn’t take long
The door creaked
toper
She stepped inside, eyes cast low, hands trembling slightly at her sides. I could hear her shallow breathing from across the room. She was scared. Good. She should be.
“Close the door, ordered flatly.
She obeyed without a word. Good girl.
Her gaze remained on the floor, and for a moment, I just watched her. Observed how she seemed to shrink under the weight of my silence. She looked small Weak. Vulnerable. But not innocent
Never innocent
“So,” I finally spoke, my voice cold. “You thought you’d get away with it.”
Her lips parted, probably to deny it again, but I raised a hand and she stopped.
“You used witchcraft. Manipulated my wolf. You think I don’t know?” I leaned forward slightly. “You poisoned him and make him want you right i asked my time harsher that I intended
“No, Alpha, I didn’t—”
“Silence!” I growled.
She flinched visibly. The scent of fear became stronger.
I stood up, slowly, towering over her.
“I’ve thought about what to do with you. Thought about it all night. I could have had you thrown in the dungeons. Called the Council. They’d have dealt with you… harshly

She swallowed haid, her entire body trembling now.
“put…” I drawled, circling her 51
Ske a predator sizing up his prey. “I’ve come up with something better. Something for more ting.”
She lifted her gare slightly, confusion and dread dancing in those haunted eyes.
“You have two options, Raven,” I said, stepping behind her, my breath brushing her ear. “One–Thand you over to the Council You know what that means, don’t you? A public trial. Witchcraft, manipulation those are capital charges. Even being accused could lead to your death. Panfully slow Hộ one will question it.”
She trore, completely still.
I moved in front of her again and looked into her eyes. “Or..
Her lips were trembling now. “O–or…7
“Or..I leaned back against the edge of my desk, folding my arms again, watching her. “You become mine. My slave. In secret. My sex slave to be precise. No one will know. Especially not my mate.”
Her eyes widened in horror.
Ismirked.
“You’ll do asi say. When I say. How I say. You’ll be nothing. A shadow in this house. You’ll clean my floors, run my errands, and when I want you to crawl to me, you will. I don’t want your tears, Raven, I want your obedience.”
“No…” she whispered.
Istepped forward, cupping her jaw tightly. “Yes. Because the alternative is far worse. Do you want the Council to get their hands on you? To rip you open and see what kind of magic you’ve hidden in that body of yours? Do you want them to bum the truth out of you?”
She shook her head rapidly, tears slipping down her cheeks, “Please…”
“You thought you could toy with me. With my wolf.” I released her jaw roughly. “Now you’ll pay
She was visibly panicking, breathing fast, her chest rising and falling as if she were drowning.
“—“can’t…” she stammered.
“You will” My voice was a low, dangerous snarl. “Or I’ll call the Council tonight. I have the letter already written. One word from me, and they’ll be here by morning”
She stared at me, eyes wide with terror, every fiber of her been rejecting what she was hearing. But she wasn’t stupid. She knew she didn’t have &
I hate you,” she whispered.
I smiled. “Good. Hatred makes obedience all the more sat stying
She took a shaky breath “Fine. I’ll do it”
“Say it properly,” I snapped. “Say, “I choose to be your sex slave, Alpha.”
Her lips trembled. Her knees nearly buckled.
“I–I choose to be your sex–slave, Alpha,” she said, voice barely audible.
“That’s better.” I grabbed a pen and a thin leather–bound ledger from my drawer and opened it to a fresh page.
“You will report here at 5 AM every morning I said, scribbling down the conditions. “No one sees you come in. No one hears you leave. You’ll wear a

hood. You will speak only when spoken to. You’ll perform your duties in silence, and when i tell you to leave, you have, anyone–you won’t live to regret it.”
