Mated to the Mad Lord

Chapter 10: Ranks



"We're heading to the servant halls! You'll be informed of all the rules and the punishments for them!" he informed her even as Violet heard her heart beat slowly begin to race in her chest.

'Punishments!' the thought of having to go through such a thing made her stomach churn even as she forced herself to continue to walk almost like nothing was wrong.

Still it wasn't long until they both got to a hall filled with servants already waiting dressed in the same black and white uniform which was so uniform that it made Violet who still had her usual clothes on stand out.

Still, standing at the very back helped as she heard the same officiator of the test with dark hair and brown eyes stand in the front of the hall and slowly speak.

"My name is Ravon! You will refer to me as Vice! There are ranks to be obeyed and you servants are the lowest of the ring!" he began to speak in a voice so authoritative and unlike the one he had used before that Violet couldn't help the trace of fear that scrambled around her entire body.

"To our lord, you will kneel! To me, Generals, Sergeants and Managers you will bow to your waists and to workers you will bow your head! Disobedience will result in punishments and they can be dished out at anytime!"

"For example, you can be stripped and whipped. Beaten and whipped. Dragged and whipped…" his voice echoing loudly through the Hall as it resonated in each of their hearts.

"This is a Werewolf district and most of the Generals, Sergeants and Managers are Werewolves so I'll advice that you stay out of their way of you want to live. Memorize the colors in the pamphlets passed to you!"

But Violet was already skimming through it her hands shaking as she saw sections detailing Vampires and even a small part which talked about witches.

'Is this for real?'' squeezing the pamphlet tightly to keep her fingers from shaking and shaking the paper with it.

"Learn the uniform colors and the emblems attached to each rank. It'll improve your chances for survival!" Ravon continued to speak before he finally stopped. His eyes suddenly became a little dark as he slowly chose his words when he again began to talk.

"For the next part, I'll need volunteers for the lord's personal Servant!" but he had barely finished speaking when the entire room went completely still. A pin could have fallen on the ground and everyone would have clearly heard it as some people were still too terrified to even breathe properly for fear of being chosen.

Violet wasn't any different, especially after her near-death experience. The last thing she wanted was to go anywhere near the Killer Lord. But Ravon was clearly not in the mood to entertain their fears.

His eyes looking around as he began to point at random! "You! And You!" Violet's eyes tightly shut as she began to pray and hope that she wouldn't be chosen.

"Step forward!" Ravon ordered, eyes blazing with undiluted arrogance and hidden rage as he fixed his eyes on a spot in front even as Violet breathed a breath of relief watching the two servants stumble forward in fear.

The two servants had just gotten to stand in front of Ravon when the two people who stood on either side of Ravon with white emblems on their black and white uniforms which showed that they were workers, stepped forward to hand a blade to each of them even as Ravon's order echoed across the room

"Stab yourselves!" he ordered and Violet knew what was going to happen even before it did. Neither of them reacted too terrified to react as they stared at the long blade in their arms and the craziness of the order they had just been given.

However, everyone was still mostly lost in thought when Violet saw a sight she could never forget in her life as she watched a grown man slowly morph into a beast, his clothes shredding like skin just before he pounced on the servants in front of him.

It was the crunching sounds that made Violets knees give way as her body went tumbling to the ground unable to look at what she saw before she fell. The blood, the tearing of limbs in seconds sent a chill down her body as he vision blurred with tears sculpted from fear.

At that moment she realized that her world as she knew it would never again be the same, even as she but her lips until her mouth bled, scrambling back to her feet as she watched the large beast devour the last of the limbs in front of him, his mouth covered in blood.

'Violet!' she internally screamed at herself even though all she wanted to do was bolt for the door and run.

But before her body could respond someone beat her to it, as a figure dashed beside her heading for the door screaming at the top of his lungs. He wasn't the only one as others moved to follow when a familiar booming sound echoed across the room.

A hole appeared in his head, coated with blood before his body dropped to the floor. Ravon back to his human and very naked form holding a gun in his hands barked in a deep tone that sounded more like an animalistic growl.

"If I tell you to do something! You do it or you die!" his eyes a lighter shade of brown as they blazed with furious anger as his gaze slide down at them.

Violet's face was crison red as she stared directly at the floor at his feet knowing better than to stare at the naked body of a man. She was twenty but considering her environment and the men she came across, sex had been the last thing on her mind.

It didn't help that the same person that she was embarrassed to look at was also the reason for her horror as he stood there looking down on them.

'What have I gotten myself in?' Violet wondered wondering just how many beasts she was actually surrounded by. But her mind was just drifting when she heard Ravon speak again, pointing this time around.

"You!" fingers that seemed dangerously pointed straight at her, enough to make her eyes widen in horror as she jerked back. 

"Me-me!" she stutterred touching her throat in reflex as she realized that she had in fact been chosen with all the pitiful glances that were tossed in her direction.
