Lana knew what the supreme alpha was saying because since she had been bought as a sex slave it was expected of her not to forget her place. But Lana did not wish to be like that after all the affection the alpha had been displaying to her. The way Sahan had been treating her occasionally with care and affection could make anyone misunderstood his motives.

That was why she felt the dire need to confront him this time with whatever she had been feeling. Lana did not hold back from bringing up the incident which happened in the dining hall once again. She knew that the certain thing would definitely make Sahan angry and he might spill the beans.

“Do you really think I care about the consequences anymore?”
Lana took a step forward with her eyes fixated on the alpha’s face. Sahan’ expressions changed from playful ones towards a darker and serious one. He did not seem to like the audacity of the woman who was boldly confronting him with confidence. The woman scoffed at the supreme, the man who was the most powerful person in the entire supernatural realm.

“You claim that I belong to you, huh?”
The woman approached him and placed her index finger over his chest. Lana looked into his glaring eyes which did not scare her this time. Of course, she had to fight for herself and that meant to live freely and to fight. She poked over his chest which was a bold attempt from her and it enraged the alpha.

“You just threw me in the hands of another man, treated me like nothing and then sent your men to pretend to protect me, huh?”
She was fuming with rage just like the alpha was too, Sahan clenched his fists and tried to control his anger. Lana poked over his sturdy chest once again which obviously did not make the alpha move any bit.



As Lana spoke her mind, Sahan' expression changed from prior confusion to anger. He could not believe that she was questioning him and his decisions, the supreme alpha, in such a commanding way. He was mildly amazed that despite the fact that towered over her, his eyes looked at her with fury the woman was not affected now.

As Lana drew closer to Sahan, she could feel the tension in the air thickening which was obvious since she was the one who started it. She was not intimidated by his antics anymore though Lana wished to live more. She had been living in the toughest conditions of kingdom Selene and knew how to hold her own in the face of danger.
"Who do you think you are?" Sahan growled this time while giving in to his anger, his eyes narrowed as Lana came to a halt in front of him daringly. "You dare to challenge me and question my decisions? Mine? The supreme alpha of this whole damned kingdom?"
Lana stood in her place while trying not to succumb to the fear,, her gaze locked onto Sahan's which looked scarier than ever. "I don't want to challenge you, Sahan," she said calmly and even dared to take his name this time which was a direct provocation to the alpha. "I just want to talk to you."
Sahan snorted. "Talk to me? About what?" The man completely ignored the part where she actually took his first name instead of calling him with the title.

“What am I to you? Why have I been bought?”
Lana questioned him bluntly as she placed her hand over his chest while looking into his eyes. The alpha was caught off guard by her questions because he never expected her to have such a transformation. Sahan's expression softened slightly at her words knowing that she was questioning her worth, and he regarded Lana with a hint of curiosity in whatever she had to say. "And why should I answer you?"

The counter question made Lana mad since she was not ready to hear his little tricks. She wanted the answers to her existence, that was important to her because she wished to know why she was brought to Belle Morte. Lana wanted to know the actual reason as to why he was treating her badly yet keeping her protective.
“Why are you doing this to me? Why are you acting as if you have two different personalities?”
She approached him and grabbed the collar of his robe, Lana's grip on Sahan's chest tightened, her eyes flashing with a mixture of anger and frustration which was an obvious reaction from her. "Because I deserve to know where I stand for you. Why have I been brought here and treated both ways?" she asked with a shallow tone as if the woman was just about to cry.
Somehow a tear crawled down on her cheek which she wiped off roughly while staring in his eyes. Lana stood there with her hands still over his chest, her own eyes narrowing as she met Sahan's gaze. "You want us to respect you, huh? Respect is earned, not given, your highness" she mocked Sahan with, her voice low and steady. "And after whatever you have done to me, I don't know if you have earned mine because I absolutely despise you."
Sahan took a step forward with a serious expression and his action made Lana withdraw her hand. His fists clenched at his sides as the alpha wished to show her what grave mistake she had made. "It seems that you have forgotten your place, Lana," he mildly threatened her with his voice low and dangerous indicating that he was not happy with her.





"How dare you speak to me like that!" he bellowed while raising his pitch at her. "I am the supreme alpha, the powerful ruler of this kingdom, and you are nothing but a lowly sex slave bought by me. You will address me with respect and proper title, or suffer the consequences. I am not answerable to you for anything I do, do you understand?”

Sahan growled at the woman who had no idea that he would still refuse to tell her the truth. Lana flinched at his outburst of anger, but she still somehow managed to stand her ground. She knew that asking him once again was a risk, but she could not continue to live in fear and silence. She looked at the alpha while trying to keep herself calm because bursting out in rage would worsen the situation.

Sahan took a deep breath and tried to calm himself down not to tear down the woman. He knew that his anger was misplaced due to the way she had been provoking him continuously, but he could not help it. The truth of possible punishment was too painful to confront, and he did not want to relive those memories again. He looked at Lana and saw the determination of knowing the truth in her eyes. She had always been a meek woman and now the way she had switched her personality he had been admiring her for that.
But he could not tell her the truth, not now, not ever without the confirmation that she was not planted to kill him instead. He could not bear the thought of hurting her even more than he already had because Cyru knew that the woman was what he wanted and desired. He knew that his silence was causing her pain and existential crises , but he did not know what else to do because upon knowing the truth she would be in more danger.




"Please, your highness," she pleaded once again while looking into his eyes while her expressions softened and she was about to burst out in tears, "I do not want to be just a sex slave anymore. I want to be treated like a person, with respect and dignity which I deserve. I want to be able to make my own choices which would matter inside the castle walls and live my own life which does not mean to be your slave."

Sahan' expression softened slightly, and he looked at her with something akin to pity because he was aware of her status. And being wolf less meant that she was nothing useful and was not qualified to be the queen. The luna. "You do not understand the situation, Lana," he said with a soft tone as Sahan placed his hands behind his butt. "You belong to me, and you always will, and I am your master and only I am the one who will decide your fate and whom do you belong to. It is not up to you to decide how you want to live your life or to whom you will serve. You exist solely for my pleasure and to obey my rules."
