Chapter 457

Third Person’s POV

On Zelda’s mating day, the Styxwarden Pack was in a frenzy of activity.

Her personal belongings and wedding gifts had been delivered to her villa the previous day, but the ceremony and banquet were held at the Styxwarden Pack’s headquarters.

Guests streamed in endlessly, nearly filling the pack’s square to capacity.

Before heading to the Styxwarden Pack for the ceremony, Madison allowed Ramona a brief stop.

Aireanna remained imprisoned in Madison’s dungeon, where the air was thick with the stench of blood and decay.

The dungeon was ventilated for only one hour daily, a “mercy” Madison proclaimed.

Other breeders and errant servants were also confined there.

Once imprisoned, servants never saw the light of day again.

The so–called “stench” was, in fact, the smell of blood.

Ramona entered the dungeon, waves of nausea hitting her, but she forced herself to head straight for her mother’s cell.

Cells were separated by walls, invisible to one another, with a door featuring a small window for food passage.

Each cell had a bed and a chamber pot, with a monthly bath allowance.

Madison insisted Hunt would visit them and demanded they maintain cleanliness.

If no one screamed or made a fuss within a month, they could have a half–day outing.

Ramona had been here once before, part of Madison’s scheme to motivate her.

Dorothy had the door opened, and Ramona rushed into the cell to find her emaciated mother.

Aireanna lay on the ground, skeletal, and struggled to sit up at her daughter’s arrival.
