The Cursed Lycan

Chapter 4

Can you please disobey my father on this? You can't strip me! Just wash my face with water so I can open it again," I pleaded as my feet felt the floor of the bathroom.

"We never planned on obeying him. We won't do that," one of them said, and I exhaled heavily in relief.

I never knew there was anyone who had a glimmer of pity for me. They poured a full bucket of water on my face and gave me another to soak my face in as it was all covered in splatter from the stew.

I hurriedly washed my eyes thoroughly until I could open them again. Although I still feel the stinging pain, I was so happy I could open my eyes again.

I turned to the guards with a wide smile and was about to thank them when I heard the door of the bathroom creak and open. Scarlett stood right at the door with an angry look.

"You disobeyed my father, the Alpha!!" Her voice squealed through the walls, and the body guards quickly fell to their knees, pleading that she shouldn't report them. They were all frightened to the core, shaking so hard.

"You see what you will cause them? Death! No guard disobeys the Alpha; stay alive!" She bellowed, and I stood transfixed.

"Please, Scarlett, just this once. Please don't do this to them, I beg. You can punish me, but don't drag innocent lives into my miserable one."

"Nothing will ever stop me from telling my father! I'm glad to have a witness here!" She huffed, and I looked beside her to see Laura snickering tauntingly at me as she walked in, swaying her waist under the royal robe she wore.

Anger swelled up in me as I locked my eyes with hers. My mother's best robe, as it most dignified her as the Luna. The sparkling gems around it and how expensive and beautifully it was designed made it exceptional.

It irritated me to see this demon, Laura, wear it as a Luna, and I could only sulk in sadness because there was nothing I could do.

"Please Luna....we..."

"Strip her now while we watch!" Laura ordered, cutting them off as she giggled and wrapped her hand around Scarlett's shoulder, watching me with a smug look.

My brow furrowed as I wondered if I had heard her well. My ear must have sent the wrong sound to my brain to interpret, or my brain failed to interpret the message well. One of these must have occurred, because It can't be true.

"Do it now...." Scarlett chuckled, and pulled out her phone.

The guards, who were acting on impulse so as to save their lives, rose and turned to me with stern faces that showed they were not going to listen to my pleading this time.

"We're sorry, we've got no other choice!" One of them muttered while they stalked forward.

"Scarlett, are you going to... my naked body?" I stammered as I saw her facing the camera of her phone to my body.

Tears stung my eyes and poured like twin rivers while I dragged my feet back, hoping it wasn't what I was thinking.

Laura burst into laughter while Scarlett snickered and gave me that smug look.

"My friends in school would love to watch your naked body! Maybe, it will convince some boys in my class to have you for a night. I know you crave sex badly, poor princess," she moaned mockingly, a smirk plastered on her face. What she just said sounded so disgusting and nasty that I almost puked.

"Don't you dare!! Don't ever touch me!" I warned the royal guards, but their eyes only glazed over my face as they went on like I didn't say anything.

I tried running, but I couldn't even take three steps away before I was caught and slammed to the wall. The three guards were now very mean and deaf to whatever I was saying. Two grabbed my hands, legs with their muscular arms, pinning them to a spot so strongly that I couldn't even move them.
