Chapter 7Even the look on her face was enough to tell Roman she clearly didn’t care. With his fingers stroking his chin lightly, he stared at her with extreme attention. “Which pack are you from?” His Beta, Eric asked her.She opened her mouth to talk but closed it back, making him annoyed. She was doing this on purpose, and clearly didn’t care about the outcome.“Take her back to her room and lock her up!” He yelled out. She stood up immediatly and dropped her arm out as the guards approached her. He stared at her till she disappeared, and continued to stare at the wooden door until his beta spoke up.“What are we going to do about her? She won’t say anything.” “Something is wrong.” Ronan muttered, darting his gaze to his Beta.He stood up from the chair he was seated on to start pacing, something he does whenever he’s frustrated.“Something is clearly wrong with her.”“Why do you say that?” His beta asked.He ran his hands through his hair, his gaze returning to the door, “she’s
“Who is going to do the killing?” Stacey repeated, looking up at him as he turned to look at her.If he had thought something was wrong and not sure, her words now made it so true. “I’m not going to kill you.” He said, scoffing out loud.“Then that means you’re going to torture me. Same process with them.” She added. He curled his gaze up, more surprised as he eyed her. “The maid would come and clean you up.” He said and turned away, not waiting for one more second as he darted out. He mindlinked his beta immediately,“In my chambers! Now!” He ordered, his expression serious at every step he took towards his room.Her words affected him greatly, and the look on her face baffled him. He needed to get into more details about her, if not from her, then he’ll do his finding. “Your highness,” the guards greeted, earning a nod from him as he entered his chambers, not surprised to see Eric seated already.“What’s wrong? You look annoyed.”“Because the girl is not saying anything..”“Did
Chapter NineStacey was surprised when a maid entered a room, carrying a full tray of food and also with a guard at her back. But what surprised her most was when the maid took her seat on the bed and watched her.“Aren’t you going to leave?”she said after a while.“I’ve been assigned to take care of you. Trust me, it’s not something I want either.” The maid retorted, making Stacey's lips curl up.She was used to the behavior of the maids right from her pack, and it didn’t surprise her to see her acting like that. If her father’s maid could act condescending towards her and she put up with it for close to 20 years, why would she allow a maid of no one to act like that to her.She was clearly hungry, and the food on the table was intriguing, so she stood up and walked towards it. She was sure the guards were standing outside, and a maid inside. Only the goddess knew what was going on. She started to eat, drowning in her own new world. The food tasted sour to her lips, just like the sa
“What’s going on here?” Stacey heard the lady repeat before standing up from the maid, who scrambled up and dashed towards the lady immediately.She dropped the knife back to the table and walked towards the bed, brushing past the lady and laid back down.“Close the door as you leave.”Stacey’s eyes darted towards the door immediately, her heart raising a little bit before gulping and looking away. Another of them,” she thought to herself.“Leave it open,” she heard the lady say, a look of surprise almost flashing through her face.“I’m Janiya.” She heard her say as she moved closer to the bed. Stacey shifted away a bit, making her stop in her tracks and folding her hand to herself. “It seems you don’t like too much people,” “The alpha sent me here…“To kill me?” Stacey sprung up immediately, meeting with her eyes. “Nope!” Janiya retorted, surprise lacing her face.“Not at all. I’m just here to always talk to you, be with you and we can have fun together.” She replied, taking ano
Chapter tenStacey bathed herself the next morning, a smile on her lips as she wore her final clothes. After a while, a new maid came in, and she could sense the fear as she greeted her.“The alpha requests your presence in the dining room.” The maid said, bowing curtly before leading the way.She frowned her face as she followed her, taking note of the surroundings as her mind wandered on why she was called to the dining room.“Don’t be scared. It might be the meeting room for today,” Freya said to her as she sighed. Being tough was hard, but it also had its pecks. If she hadn’t acted tough with the maid, this other one wouldn't have treated her nicely the way she was doing now. And the lady they had sent would keep on probing her until she finally said something. The door to the stairs she saw the other night led them to a large hall, the same she was called in the other day, before cutting through another corner, finally reaching the room. “Have your seat, they’ll be here any mi
Chapter 12Stacey earned herself a weird look from the three of them, but she was not bothered about it. Even before the Alpha picked his spoon to eat, she started immediately, leaving them to stare at her while she continued to eat. She could feel someone’s piercing gaze on her even after they all started eating, but she ignored it.She was still nervous, even under her whole tough charade, a part of her was scared. What if he doesn’t buy it anymore and wants to torture her? She clenched her jaw as she recalled her father torturing her, the way his eyes gleamed with anger, his veins almost popping out of his head as he raised the whip to deliver it to her back. And the smile on his face as he talked to the elders, the same time sinking his nails to her back. Her eyes glistened with tears, and she immediately lost her appetite. She dropped her spoon slowly, trying her best for the tears not to roll down her cheeks. But the moon goddess was always against her, because Ronan had kept h
Chapter 13Instead of the less appealing flowers that she just saw, the ones here in this garden were so beautiful, the looks of it already telling her how much they are always taken care of. She smiled as she trickled her hand on everything. She had once been obsessed with flowers, even asked her mother once if she could have a small garden. Her eyes roamed around beautifully, surprised at the amount of beautiful flowers that were being curated here. Was this for the Alpha, she thought to herself as she continued to walk in the middle of each, bending down to check the roots and seeing how strong they are. She stood up and roamed her eyes all around, widening as she exclaimed loudly.“Wow.” ****************“What are we doing about the girl? We can’t keep her in the pack if there’s no use for her.” One of the elders said, making the others murmur loudly as Ronan gazed around.His mind was far from the meeting, but on the smile he had seen on her face. She was very pretty, even with
Chapter 14As days passed, Stacey was allowed to go out more. She now knew every nook and corner of the mansion she was living in, and she could say she was glad only for that one thing. The breakfast she had with the alpha and his two friends were something she was tired of but it was already a competition, she was never going to give them the satisfaction of making her tired. Another morning of seating with them to eat and Stacey already regretted it. She halted in her tracks as she entered the room, noticing only the alpha seated on his chair, his hand stroking his chin as he looked up at her. She didn’t want to give herself hope, not that she was interested but she sensed a spark of light gleam in his eyes as he saw her.“Your highness,” she greeted, bowing curtly before making her way towards the chair. She sat down, her hands on her laps like always as the maids served the food.“How was your night?” She heard him ask, making her look up at him.Her defensive layer was quick t
