Chapter 7 – Then I Name You……
We entered the forest and the dried leaves crashed down and twigs break below the soles of our shoes as we step on them. I do not know where we are going, but I still followed the Alpha as I looked around, and admired the trees around us and the birds chirping around and some insects buzzing as we pass by, probably we are disturbing their homes. I have been kept for years inside the four walls of my room. I had never got a chance to explore the world outside a pack house. I was caged, and deprived of my freedom to the point that I have not much knowledge about the outside world and I had only live inside the world of the books I read. I was lucky that I even learned to read whenever I hear my sisters tutors teaching them before and when they discard some of their school stuff I would keep them and teach myself to read, aside from that, I am pretty dumb already. I have no proper education or anything, I guess f
Chapter 8 – Because You Can Hurt MeI looked up at him and stared for a moment. There was no joke or any hint of amusement and mocking on his face.Is he serious?“A-antheia?” I asked, repeating what the Alpha had said.“Yes… Antheia… do you like it?” the Alpha asked in return, turning to look at me, towering over my petite figure compared to his tall built, blocking the light of the sun behind him, and making himself look as if he was an angel from above but with a features of a deadly devil from below.For a moment, I was lost in awe at him that I had myself unconsciously nodding in approval at the word he named me.Antheia…It is a nice name.A name… for me.I finally have a name…“Antheia? Why? W-why Antheia, Alpha?” I asked out of curiosity coz it sounds so beautiful how could he come up with it?He shrugged h
Chapter 9 – She Is All I Have“What? You do not understand?” the Alpha asked in disbelief, looking at me as if I am such an unbelievable creature in front of him, but more like a dumb one.“No. How could someone promise of something so uncertain Alpha when one does not hold the life of the other neither the circumstances that this life holds against me?” I asked because I know that at some point, I would get hurt, one way or another, and such an utterance of certainty from him sounds so unreal. Why would someone like him who just met me will try to protect me and say that I would never be hurt again? such a lie.The Alpha then turned around after a sighed, then he continued to walk and I just followed behind.“Well at least… while I am around, I am not going to let anyone hurt you. That is a promise.” He uttered.“Why?” I asked in curiosity.But I did not get an an
Chapter 10 – Fine Lady 101“Lea, someone will be going in town today, right?” I heard the Alpha’s voice entered the dining area but I did not dare to look up at him as I just sat on my chair, frowning at the foods in front.“Yes, Alpha.” Lea replied.“Buy these for the kitten. And by the way, send someone in her room to clean up and take her plates” The Alpha uttered which made me tilt my head to the side and eventually look at him and he just raised an eyebrow at me after handing a piece of paper to Lea.“W-where is Daisy, Alpha?” I asked, hoping that my kitten was okay.“What do you think I did?” the Alpha asked in return as he took the chair beside me and started piling food on his plate.“You took her away from me?”“I took her to the pack doctor.”I was speechless for a second, I thought he was actually taking h
Chapter 11 – Turning a CinderellaA circular plate at the middle of the place mat and on top of the plate was a white folded napkin, then on my right were two spoons on the outer then two knives, then the plate, and then on the left of the plate were two forks and on the upper area of the plate there is another pair of spoon and fork, then on the right upper part were three wine glasses and on the left upper part was a small plate and a knife placed on top of it.Ookay… What is happening?“Uhm… I just had my breakfast?” I uttered.“You are not having another breakfast darling… Now, do you know what those are?” Finary asked.“Ah yeah, of course, forks, spoons, plates, and wine glasses. And oh of course a napkin.”“Sure they are! but not really....” She deadpanned in the end of her sentence.I looked at her blankly and dumbfounded. What does she
Chapter 12 – Alpha, Do You Have A Name?I stopped on my track and Finary was curious at my sudden halt. She followed the line of my sight and found the Alpha near the doorway.“Is she stressing you so much, Finary?” the Alpha asked and chuckled.“She is so stiff, Alpha, but we can manage.”“Told you it would be a hard work. Anyway, we should have our lunch for now so she could rest.” The Alpha said and thank goddess for that because I felt like my knees and ankles were already about to give up.“Sure, Alpha. We will now set up the table formally so Antheia would be used to it.” Finary said and left along with the two ladies.And now I was left rooted on the floor, they just left me in this high heels!With my read to give up knees, I took small steps towards the couch, balancing myself and fearing that I might fall and break my ankle again, it just healed!I
Chapter 13 – Angel In Disguise?To my surprise and embarrassment, the Alpha snickered, holding a burst of laugh.Was he mocking me? Did he not really meant when he said that I can ask for anything?Oh goddess! Why did I even think that he actually meant that I could request anything I want. I should know my place! And be grateful to whatever they give me and not request for something more anymore.But when I looked at his eyes, his gaze was so overwhelming and heart warming. He was giving me the gaze of adoration and amusement, I do not know if I was right at how he was looking, but I am sure of it. It was not a mocking look or a joke on me.“What chocolate?” the Alpha then asked.“R-really? It is okay?” I asked, is he really going to give me? she he was not mocking me or anything?“Yeah. I can give you whatever you want.” the Alpha replied.“Oh, uhm… any c
Chapter 14 – Disobedience and AngerIt has been four days already that I am learning how to walk on high heels. I am still struggling but I am getting a grasp of it now, and Finary made we try to wear and walk all my high heels, though sometimes I get out of balance especially when I walk down the stairs I have to hold on the banister, and when I try to walk fast I get distracted, but at a normal pace I can actually do it already with a proper posture. She always reminds me not to look down and slouch, to always lift my head up high. Finary is such a very strict teacher, she would constantly glare at me when she is tired of scolding me verbally. However, she is also patient, very patient at my stupidity.During the days of my stay here in the pack, all I did was undergo the lesson with Finary, even though I had tried again to offer washing the laundry and water the plants at the backyard of the pack house, the Alpha forbids me, and ordered the ot
Chapter 15 – Death… I Will Be Next.I only relaxed and broke down to the floor when I saw him walking out of my room, closing the door gentler than the banging he had caused when he entered.I stayed on the floor and tried to hide myself on the corner of the wall, and just let myself cry in fear and relief.The Alpha may not has hit me physically today but he is scary, his eyes look scarier than how my family had treated. If looks could kill, I might be lying dead on the floor by now.I should have listened. It was a simple order from him, for me not to work, not to do the chores, and just follow his orders, of what he tells me what to do, but why did I even try to be stubborn.But I just wanted to help.Everyone had been nice and giving me food, I just wanted to at least pay them back and show them I am grateful enough. I did not mean to disobey him. But he got so mad.I felt my eyelids got heavier in ex
