I woke up at four o'clock in the morning as usual. I tiptoed to the kitchen, opened the window, and closed my eyes to enjoy the fresh air. I raised my head just in time to see Brian's room, inside still maintaining a pale yellow light.
When I think of him, I have many thoughts. The time I'm here, life is better than before; at least I get to eat and sleep enough, and I don't have to worry about being beaten. Brian's personality is a bit strange, he often stays up until dawn and then goes to sleep, so he and I only have a little interaction.
Every day I must do my duty well, clean the house and prepare three meals. It wouldn't be too bad if it continued like this.
'I want to see my mate; I haven't seen him in a few days.' Oralie began to lament; ever since that first meeting with Brian, she's constantly been bugging me about it.
'If you have the guts to break his rules, I won't stop you, convert and get up there, but if we break any bones, I won't spare you.' I snapped.
Oralie groaned momentarily and didn't say anything more; she turned away and crouched in a corner as if she was sulking at me.
After getting ready in the morning, I went to the garden and picked some wildflowers. I realized that as long as I didn't bother Brian, he wouldn't care what I did. The second day I was here, I secretly opened the window to let the light in, I was also prepared to be beaten, but nothing happened, so I dared to open all the windows in the living room.
After arranging the flowers, I cleaned the house again; a dull day will often pass like that.
Suddenly, a car engine was approaching; I saw a highly luxurious white car parked in front of the door, and a woman in her 30s got out.
"Open door!" When she saw me, she shouted.
I instinctively looked up at Brian's room, afraid of waking him up, so I rushed out, politely bowing to her. What's wrong?
The woman glared at me with disgust. "Didn't you see anyone coming? Why didn't you open the door quickly?"
I tilted my head and followed her eyes into the car; the door frame revealed a beautiful face like a statue. The woman has golden hair, typical blue eyes, and gentle beauty, but when combined with that ice-cold aura, it seems contrasting but, on the contrary, very attractive.
"Kate, what's taking so long?" The cold voice of the woman in the car rang out.
And the person named Kate immediately changed his attitude when talking to her. Kate bowed respectfully. "Luna, there's a cockroach in our way."
I stood up for a few seconds, my eyes widening.
‘Oralie, did I mishear? Is that our Luna? Is it Richard's mother, or did Luna leave the pack 21 years ago?' I asked a series of questions to Oralie, and she was also in a state of shock.
“Know who the person in the car is and still don't open the door? Maybe lowly people like you won't know; I'll say it for once. The one you see is the only Luna of the Blood Ocean." Kate cocked her chin arrogantly.
My hands trembled, and I opened the door faster, maintaining my head down all day.
Since I was born, Luna Serena has left the pack because of some disagreements with Alpha Arnold; she has yet to return. In the pack, gradually, the kids usually only know one person as Vyna; although she has no title, perhaps in everyone's eyes, she is seen as the queen of this place. She has a love of Alpha and has Richard, who can be chosen to become Alpha in the future.
‘What did she come here for, Kelsey? It scared me to look at her; she was expressionless, like an iceberg.' Oralie trembled, her voice small too.
'Maybe her facial muscles are like that, but what if she's friendly?' I said to myself, but as expected, the body had the most honest reaction; now I was trembling like a cat caught in the rain.
Luna Serena did not let me in her eyes; she got out of the car, went straight into the house, sat on the sofa, and asked coldly. "Where is Brian?"
Seeing her gaze directed at me, I jumped in surprise. "Luna, Sir Brian is still asleep."
Luna Serena's expression didn't change much; her following sentence showed her displeasure. "What time is this, and still sleeping?"
I gulped, trying to suppress my fear as I answered. “These few days, Mr. Brian—”
“Get him down here; I need to talk.” Luna Serena didn't show any emotion interrupting my words.
'Kelsey, my legs are so soft, I want to cry.' Oralie's eyes were bloodshot; she was shy, and such things were too much to bear her.
"Luna, Sir Brian has told me often not to disturb his sleep..." No matter how hard I tried, I couldn't hide the trembling in my words.
After listening to me, Luna Serena's face became colder and colder. "Kate."
Before I could understand what was happening, my body was thrown two meters away; my spine was kicked down the stairs, causing my body to become paralyzed.
My lips move, and before I can get a word out, Kate rushes in again, her eyes glimmering with cruelty. She has incredible speed, like a lightning bolt.
"No one dares to say 'no' to Luna!" Kate gave me a warning look.
I sat up hunched over, the pain running through my body, making me groan uncontrollably.
Kate immediately kicked me in the chin, her tone filled with disdain. "How dare you moan to dirty Luna's ears?"
I immediately closed my mouth; since I was little, I was not good at anything except making others happy so that an enslaved person like me would have less physical pain.
“Go up there and call him down.” Luna Serena didn't even look at me.
I clenched my teeth and hesitated for a long time, my body shaking with fear, but I still firmly shook my head.
Seeing me protest, Kate got even angry; she threw me to the ground again and then roared in disdain. “People like you are uneducated; I will teach you instead of your parents today!”
The corners of my red eyes when I heard about my parents; sometimes I wondered if they were still alive, maybe I wouldn't be so miserable, right?
A powerful force grazes my stomach, my body rolling to the ground like a ball. A viscous liquid stuck to my shirt stuck to my back. I know my back is bleeding.
I forced myself to put my hands on the ground and sat up; my head was also bleeding, so I was a little drunk, and my vision blurred. I see Kate's shadow slowly approaching, her heeled shoe lifted to aim for my face, about to land.
I closed my eyes, my body shaking.
After a while, nothing happened, and my face and body didn't hurt either.
Suddenly, I heard a hoarse male voice. "What's with the noise?"
All eyes turned to the second floor, where Brian was standing."Long time no see; you no longer recognize your mother?" Luna Serena, displeased, raised her cold voice.Brian was not surprised by his mother's presence; he slowly walked down the stairs. He paused for about two seconds as he passed me, then quickly moved on."Who hit you?" Brian didn't let Kate in his eyes.I pursed my lips and didn't answer, struggling with the last of my strength to sit up, when a sharp pain came from my stomach, causing me to lose weight and tumble forward. Luckily, Brian reached out a hand to support me, his cold gaze grazing me, his brows slightly furrowed.An unprecedented sweetness filled my chest; his breath was manly, and his strong arms gave off a hot feeling."The smell of blood is unpleasant; change your clothes first." He let go of me and sat on the chair, never looking directly at Luna Serena. "What are you doing here today?""This is not the attitude you would talk to your mother in." Luna
Brian POV:While punishing Kate, I spotted Kelsey upstairs; she witnessed everything. It seems like I scared her because she's been avoiding me since then, not daring to raise her head when talking. In the past, she and I did not speak often; just a few times when we met, she would look up at me and smile. And now, she is like a little rabbit, always afraid and looking for a hole to hide in.Does she think I'm too cruel to be with Kate like that? Doesn't she realize I'm helping her vent? Or comes from another cause? Is she afraid to do the same to her?I remember that I was the one who threatened to break her bones if she made a mistake.I wonder why she is so shy. Being beaten and tortured by others can't even cry or protest. Should she say she's honest or say she's silly?If I hadn't heard the sound and gone down, I wouldn't know what she would look like. I know my mother would only order a stop if she were satisfied.My father, Alpha Arnold, used to say it when I was a kid. He didn
Kelsey POV:When I woke up, it was already afternoon; I panicked and jumped out of bed in a hurry to run out.‘How can I sleep so much? I don't even prepare Brian's morning. Will he get mad?' I asked Oralie quickly.She is reticent today; I feel a little strange, I asked. ‘Oralie, what happened to you?’Oralie didn't answer quickly as if she was thinking about something; after a while, she spoke in disbelief. ‘Kelsey, are you not paying attention? Where is the copper pot in our room?'I frowned and looked back at the table in the room; I clearly remember last night before going to bed; it was empty. In this house, it's just Brian and me; could it be that he helped me reduce my fever?It turned out that the strange feeling last night wasn't my dream. At that time, I felt my body heat up, and my strength disappeared. I opened my eyes uncomfortably; in front of me was Brian's blurred face, thinking, but at best, I assumed it was my imagination when I was not awake.Thinking of that, my f
My body trembled violently, and an uneasy feeling came; I remember two of my friends seemed to die like this; they were both strangled until they died, then their bodies were thrown in the forest for wild animals to eat. Since then, their names have not been mentioned anymore, and no one has dared to stand up for justice for them; they are like evaporated and do not exist.“Please forgive me, please….” I said intermittently.Richard looked at me with delight, his eyes filled with perversion. “Being this good from the start, I don't want to hurt you. Tell me, who would step on a beautiful flower like you? Come on, laugh!"I tried to smile to win his heart, but the internal organs were already curled up in a pile.Unfortunately for me, today, Richard's mood is furious; I accidentally fell into his eyes, becoming a sandbag to help him vent."I'm not happy now; I want to play a game with you; how do you feel?" Richard retracted his hand that was squeezing my chin. He shook his neck, activ
I hugged my frail body and ran far away, turning many winding paths. My exhausted body did not allow me to continue running; I hid in a dark corner, curled up in it, and sobbed.Oralie couldn't stand it and burst into tears with me. 'Why is it so unlucky? This place is so big, but must we meet him?'I tried to stay calm, wiped my tears, and kept looking out in case Richard would smell the blood and come to this place. It's just that I still hold on to the hope that he's lost interest in me, maybe won't look for me anymore.Rest for a while. I put my hands on the wall to sit up; I've been gone so long that Brian will undoubtedly be unhappy.When I turned around, the party had already started; from a distance, I couldn't see Brian's figure; only Luna Serena was happily talking with Alpha Arnold like they were never apart, always a couple of happy couples.But with a little subtlety, you can see their eyes are full of fakery; they pretend to show everyone what they think in their hearts,
Brian's POV:'I want to tear Richard to pieces; how dare he do that to my mate? How dare he torture her so brutally in front of us. Brian, let me out; let me bite that damn bastard!' Andrew growls repeatedly; he's almost gone mad after all we've seen.Remember Kelsey's pale face in Richard's arms. She trembled and clasped her hands together, begging him to make my chest ache. If I hadn't gone looking for her, I don't know what terrible thing would have happened to her.Too bad I'm still late, scaring her like that.I adjusted my breathing, frustratedly crushing the cobblestone in my hand. At first, I wanted to use a gun to puncture Richard's brain; if it weren't for the fact that Vyna and my father were coming, he would undoubtedly have enjoyed a bullet through the brain, not just a stone that hit his hand.'Brian, I want to kill him and tear his organs!' Andrew didn't stop, continuing to scream.I ignored Andrew, then went everywhere looking for Kelsey. Even though she was injured, h
“Okay, just kill the thief, right?” I ask.Serena was silent momentarily as if she didn't understand what I meant.“When and where was the lost necklace discovered?” I looked over at Edna.“About 30 minutes ago, at this place.” She replies.I smiled faintly. "30 minutes ago, Kelsey wasn't in the lobby; how did she steal the necklace?"Edna glared indignantly said. “Sir Brian, I know you want to cover your servant. But without proof, you blatantly say one sentence means she is innocent?" Edna is like a dog, fiercely biting Kelsey and not letting go.I looked at her coldly and asked. “So where is the proof you say Kelsey took your necklace?”“It was Kate who caught it with her own hands.” Edna pointed to the woman who always stood behind Serena.“Oh…” I stretch my voice, looking at Kate for a moment, a little familiar.'It's the woman who hit Kelsey that day.' Andrew thought I had forgotten, so he reminded me."Is it her again?" I pursed my lips sarcastically, then said. "Simple, open t
Kelsey's POV:I hide behind Brian's broad back, and suddenly, I feel safer with him here.At the side, I peeked at Brian's expression, wanting to read some of his thoughts from his face, but in the end, I withdrew my eyes in disappointment. I couldn't fathom what Brian was, but in my heart, there was a glimmer of hope that he would protect me.If it were before, I wouldn't have dared to hope so much, but just now, Brian saved me once; he is kind.'Kelsey, maybe you're the only one in the world who thinks Brian is honest. He saved us, but he treats others unequivocally cruelly.' Oralie whispered when she heard my thoughts.I was stunned, and at Oralie's prompting, the image of Kate and the older woman from earlier replayed in my mind. Both of them were brutally broken hands by Brian.'But he saved me; in my eyes, he's the most honest person.' I defended Brian and turned my eyes to him."Seeing that I didn't even step aside quickly, have you forgotten your lowly status?" Brian's voice w
