57. A man and a woman.

Winifred opened her eyes and she winced with pain immediately she did. Where her head had been hit from behind was giving her so much pain

"Where the hell am I?" She asked no one in particular as she muttered to herself when she woke up. She tried to stand up, but she couldn't. It was only then that she noticed that she had been tied to the ground, somehow. She couldn't move neither legs nor her hands. The only thing movable was her mouth and she was terrified as her surrounding seemed to be dark and only lit by a dim light.

She looked far ahead in the room and saw two people in form of shadows discussing in hushed tones. Their hushed tones however, was loud and clear enough for her to hear.

"Now, how are we supposed to go about this, uh? Are you sure this thing won't backfire? I do not wnat trouble with the King, you know how this slave is literally his possession, one that he doesn'teven joke with. " The man there said to the woman figure he was speaking to.

It was a man and a woman. She looked closely at the man and when she saw that she didn't know him and hadn't seen him before from anywhere, she sighed and turned to look at the person he was talking to, she squinted her eyes properly.

The hair, that face, the lips, the shape and the way she walked, it all seemed so familiar even in the dark. Just then a flash of lightening seems to pass through suddenly, lo and behold, it was the one person that does not like her and has been doing a great job in not hiding it. It was Elena. And Winifred was not in any way surprised, she might have a lot of enemies but Elena was at the top of them all, she hated both her and her guts so much and she must have found out that if she was still in the picture, Arthur would never want her.

"That is why I associated you with this, so it would not backfire. If I do it on my own, it'll surely backfire. But I know I can trust you with things like this." She said to the man who gave her a wide grin when he heard what she just said, almost as if he had been told that he won so many shillings.

"Fine then." He said and paused. He remembered something and turned to face Elena again. "But if we kill her, how would the king feel about this?"

"I have no business about that and I do not care about how he would feel! He did not care about my feelings before deciding to leave me for her, so I'll also do the same when I have the chance. She's a witch that has had him bewitched, once she's gone, I'm sure he'll be back to his senses and realise the beauty he has really been missing out on. Me." She said to him with a serious look on her face.

"I understand your pain. What I'm asking is that would he not suspect you or anything like that? I would not want a situation where he would trace this whole thing to you."   The man replied and walked closer to her, then held her hands. "I don't want anything to happen to you, okay? That is what I'm preventing. I don't want him to suspect anything to the point that he'll probably do some harm to you or stuff."

"I know," Elena said to him with a smile. "And I appreciate your kindness to me and efforts. But I really want her to be killed as soon as possible. I don't want a situation where she'll be found and saved, if not I might have suggested selling her off but knowing how relentlessthe king is, he'll probably find her in a matter of seconds, I do not want that. That will render my efforts futile."

Winifred who just laid there as if she isn't unconscious yet was shocked by the things she was hearing. She couldn't believe that Elena would try to kill her because of Arthur, sell her off, yes. Beat her up, sure. But kill her? Wow.

The only thing that came to her mind at that point was the only option left. How to escape. She needed to think about how she'd do that fast, and she needed to run away before the end of the day. Or else, she'd be a dead meat before she knows it.

"That's not an issue, Elena. However, you do know that I'm not going to do this for you for free despite our history together, so how exactly do you plan to pay me for this?" He asked Elena with a smirk on his face.

"What do you want? I'll give you anything, and everything. Just state whatever it is you want. Money, gold, just anything."

The man chuckled lightly ad he stared intently at Elena. "I don't want any sort of luxury or money, Elena and im sure you know that too. All I want is you."

"Me?" Elena asked him with raised eyebrows. "What do you mean?"

"Stop acting like you do not know what I mean, Elena, you're not that innocent. We once had this." He said and walked up to her immediately.

He suddenly pulled her into a kiss, and without thinking it twice, Elena kissed him back. This gave Winifred the shock of her life as she stared at the supposed Luna of the lycan king making out with some unknown man. They had no idea she was awake already, and since their eyes were closed and they were engrossed in their makeout session, they didn't notice she was staring at them. The dim room wouldn't let them notice her expression nor opened eyes anyways.

Elena kissed him back like she had been waiting for it, like she wanted it so badly at the time, and even though it was not from the king, she let him do it anyway, and she enjoyed it while it lasted.

He then traced his hands on her face as he pushed her hair behind her face. Then, she looked him in the eyes and almost immediately, he locked lips with her again. It came as a shock to Winifred, so she just shook her head and stared on at them. Elena pulled out of the kiss to stare at him.

"What?" He asked. "Are you—" And without waiting for him to finish his sentence, she locked her lips on his again as they began to devour each other.

They both immediately shut their eyes as they felt the softness of each other's lips. They pressed their foreheads against each other as their lips moved in sync, their tongues taking action in the process. The man gave out a soft moan with his hoarse voice as she raised her hand to the back of his neck, then sliding it slowly into his hair.

He bit her upper lip and she moaned out his name. "Pete," she moaned out loud.

When she moaned his name, Winifred made sure to take note of that, in case she eventually escaped and she was asked who kidnapped her together with Elena.

Then, Pete's lips travelled down Elena's neck from her lips and his height difference made this easier for him. He then broke the kiss to speak, "you're good? Are you sure we should continue?"

"Just go on." She said almost immediately. She did not want the kiss to stop, so she just wanted all the talks to end and for him to crash his lips on hers once more. Then, he pulled her even closer and locked his lips on hers once more. This time, their tongues did more of the work. Getting intense with the kiss as their tongues rolled around each other's lips, their bodies curved into each other's body.

She threw her arms around his neck once more, while he just pulled her closer to him by the waist, although her belly which was a little bit big due to the food she just finished eating, did not allow him to gain full access to her body. Her hands went from his neck to his back, her fingertips pressing around his lower neck under his top. She drew gentle circles on his back while their tongues still made wonders..

Hours went by and they fell asleep together on the bed in the room, but not after having sex with each other. They were engrossed in their sexual act that they didn't notice Winifed stared at them all through it. When they slept soundly and Winifred was sure they were asleep already, she struggled to bring out a blade from the pocket of her gown used it to cut the rope into shreds. It took a little time, but soon, she was done. As she stood up and tiptoed to the door, she felt pains in her whole body, but she had to run away, so she put the pain aside and acted like the strong lady she is.

Immediately she stepped out of the room and locked the door quietly behind her, she fled.
