Dangerous Lycan: Claim Betrayed Luna’s Second Chance Mate

“What is this?”

“This is the pig farm and the place you have been assigned to work.”

“A pig farm?! This is even worse than the rice farm.”

“You could have just managed the rice farm. I warned you, Clara. Nevertheless, you work till dusk. These men will be here to watch you. So don’t try anything funny. And one last thing Clara, I know the kind of women he likes and you are not one of them.”

My dress had pig dung and mud all over it. My feet felt sour as the rough and hectic day being with the pigs weighed heavily on me.

“It’s time to eat, dirty pigs.” I picked up the food and showed it to the pigs. They snorted and walked in the opposite direction.

“Eat this damn food you pigs! You should all be happy you are being fed by a kind lady like me. Look at me,” I swirled for the pigs to see my dress, “I’m all dirty and smelly because of you pigs, I’m going to rip your hearts out and eat some pork.” I giggled while eating the pig’s food, “Look at me, I’m munching on your food.” The two men watched in awe as I displayed some form of insanity.”

Few minutes after taking it all in, it all came rushing out which made me all pale and worn out.

As dusks came, the men left the piggery without uttering a word to me and I got the signal that it was time to go. My stomach ached as I tried to move, I felt weak and weary and what I could only think of was my bed. I needed a good night’s rest. Working at the rice farm would have been a better choice, I thought. At least I would have the company of humans. Being at the piggery had been the worst experience ever since I became his slave. I had thought he might have been different but sending me to the piggery had shown he was just like the rest of them but even worse. As I arrived at my little room, I was thrown into confusion as I found the door locked.

I had given up trying to break into the room. The other slaves had refused to respond to my plea to spend the night in their space; they did not want to buy into my punishment. Perhaps they had heard what had occurred in the Alpha’s chamber and how I was given the piggery to work in as punishment. The night was cold, I rested my tired head on a flat stone, which I found at the doorstep. I coiled at a corner using my hair as warmth for my arm. I could still hear the snorts from the gluttonous pigs as I closed my eyes to sleep. Fat brown pigs grunted as they rolled their round bodies in the mud.

“Clara.” I heard a voice behind my ear and a gentle tap. I slowly opened my eyes to find Ryan looking back at me.

“Ryan?” My voice was weary and low but I could not keep my eyes open and I shut them again. Until I opened them again to find out that I was off the ground into his arms. With my weight on his arms, my head rested on his solid biceps. I felt them contract as he moved along opening my eyes again but only saw a blurry image of his gorgeousness. At that point, nothing mattered, only the fact that I was being saved.

He sat at the edge of the bed as my head rested on his lap. He squeezed a piece of clothing from a bowl of water he had prepared and gently wiped dirt off my forehead. He ran his hand through my hair putting every loose strand in place. I felt his hands on my lips caressing them slowly as he leaned forward for a kiss. I opened my eyes, retrieving his lips from his and stared at him without saying a word for a while.

“What are you doing? I can’t be your sex slave,” I said weakly.

The lights were dim so I could not tell where I was.

“Where am I?” I asked.

“Don’t say a word, you are fine and in my chambers.”

“In your chambers?” He ignored me and kept on wiping my face from the pig’s dirt. I fell asleep again in his arms this time.

The cool breeze of the morning nudged the piece of rag that hung over the small window in the room. The gentle air petted my skin, like a piece of soft cotton on a smooth surface. I slowly opened my eyes again but this time, I could not find the fancy yellow light bulbs that hung around the wall nor the large silk curtains. The room did not smell of caramel and tint of alcohol that had tickled the hairs in my nostrils. It was all plain and smelled lightly of dust and old items of clothing. I jumped out of bed and looked around with my heart beating fast. At that moment, I had no idea where I was and how I had gotten there.

But it all came rushing down to me again, the old walls with their large cracks, the half-decayed woods, and fur markings on the ceiling from hard water droplets. I was back in my room. I settled back on the edge of the bed pondering on what had happened with tons of questions running down my mind. I had seen his face, Ryan, he had been the one that had taken her off the ground but every other thing that happened was fuzzy.

I was drawn from my train of thought just as I heard a hard knock on the door. It was Lady Ana, she had a basket with her.

“Morning Lady, these are the things you will be needing for the day. Remember not to eat the pigs’ food this time.”

“Lady Ana,” I called out to her as she turned to leave.Nôvel(D)ra/ma.Org exclusive © material.

“Do you have any questions?”

“Not concerning the job though but I have something that…” I stuttered, unsure of what to say.

“Look Clara, I do not have the luxury of time to spend at a place. If you have a question you better ask it now.”

“Uhmm.. Never mind.” I said as I took the basket and shut the door behind her. I had just an hour to prepare before the men would come and take me to the piggery.

I was all set for the pigs as the men arrived to take me along. But as we went, we used a different route.

“I thought the piggery was that way?”

I stood by the route as the men kept walking along.

“Hello? I am talking to you guys.” I called out but they kept moving without even saying a word. It was not long until I gave up and walked behind them until they stopped at a field.

“This is your station for today. You would work here until dusk just as you had done the piggery.” One of the guys said.
