AubreyI got ready to leave for my new job in the palace. I am really excited. It's hard for anyone to get a job in the palace, because of how picky and ruthless the alpha is.I rushed to the palace, I was five minutes away from being late. I got tlo the Central room where duties were given to everyone. I was directed to the sink. A huge leap of plates, pots and utensils await me. The sight alone was terrifying. But nevertheless I didn't let that get to me. I came here to do a job to ease some tension off my parents and that's what I'm going to do.I got started on my duties when someone walked in. Bruce, the head maid, gave a sneaky remark as the figure walked into the kitchen. “Wow look who's here.” The other maids turned to look at her and snickers as she walked deeper into the kitchen. I know her, not really know her but I have heard of her. She is the one everyone calls the Alpha's slut. She walked towards me and rolled up her sleeves without hesitating when she saw the mou
Going shopping with Naomi was the single most fun thing I had ever done, and after that, it felt like I had known her since forever. She was the sweetest and nicest person I have ever come across and her sweetness was the perfect combination with my hot headedness.We complimented each other so well, I already knew u had a friend I didn't want to let go of.But she was really sad. About her mother who was barely alive because she lost her wolf, ny wolf winced at that.Losing one's wolf was horrible. It was close to death. Some could survive without their wolves, but in cases like this where the wolf died of a broken heart, it was hard to survive that.I made sure to make her feel like she wasn't alone anymore, and that was where the party was for.But it all turned sour when Adam, Liam's friend and one of the guys I met the day before tried taking advantage of her.Guilt filled me, and when I tried helping her by breaking a botfle on Adam's head, we were hunted by Liam and his guys.
ConnorA growl left my lips as i took in those familiar pair of eyes that haunted my dreams at the darkest aspect of my life two years ago.She was here. In person. Not just a fragment of my imagination. Those years ago, when we first met and she accused me of doing what i could never do, then progressing to do another thing that cost me the most in this world, i have harboured hatred fot her. I couldntg just let go of the hatred.That month wasnt entirely her fault, but what she caused, wwas the last straw. It wasnt her fault. It wasnt, but if she had not done what she did that day, maybe nana…I shook my head and tightened my fist in an attempt to control my emotions i glared into her eyes that glared into mine with equal rage for what i had no idea about.If it was what happened at the bar, then she was stupid. Thats a silly reason, and she should have moved on already.If it wasnt because Naomi was beginning to mean something to me, i would have gotten rid of her in a minute.“Yo
Aubrey 8AubreyI stormed away from Connor, the idiot with my insides filled with anger. How dare he threaten me?Stay out of my way? What's going to happen if I didn't? All I cared about was the mating ball. Who did Connor have the slightest thought that he was? Surr he's hot and everything, but I hated him so much. I hated everything about him, and when I returned to our house, and hung out with some maids, all they spoke about was Connor, and I hated him even more.Why did everyone think he's a good person? All I could see was an animal.I hated him so much, so when Naomi told me about the trip to Seth's parent's house and begged me to stay with her mother for the short while she was gone, I hated the fact that I was going to be staying in the palace, where Connor was going to be.If I see him down the hall, I would make sure to give him a sharp glare.
Aubrey 9Stupid handsome man.I walked down the hall, still trying to familiarise myself with the whole palace that was bigger than I thought, when a sound came from a room at the edge of the hall.The noises were loud, it almost sounded like an argument. The first thought that came into my head was to check, but I dismissed it, not wanting my curiosity to land me in a difficult situation, but my legs dragged me closer, just close enough to where I could hear a little of what was going on."You have never cared about any of us! Why don't you crawl back into the hole you came out from, mother?"Connor… that was Connor's voice.Now I had every reason to turn away and continue down the hall, but the tone of his voice had me frozen in my steps.His mother?My mother used to work for her and the stories she used to tell me about her…A shiver ran through my spine. She was the devil, so I heard.She fired people and made sure to destroy them if they stood up against her. But I had no idea
Chapter 10AubreyHis mother's eyes narrowed as I slipped after Connor into his room, and I let out a heavy breath as she scoffed before leaving as Connor shut the door behind him.She knew I was eavesdropping. Connor also knew.I held my breath as the silence descended on us as we stood in silence, only the loud sound of breathing coming from him and I squeezed my eyes shut, waiting for him to say something.When the sound of his mother's footsteps reduced to nothing as she left the hallway, I cleared my throat and avoided his stare as I made for the door."Well, gotta go. I have a lot of duties, so see ya." I muttered, but before I could escape, he moved to the front of the door, blocking my way.Shit. I cursed inwardly. "Aubrey." He called, his voice low and cold and I shivered inwardly, but I hid it as I met his piercing gaze.His eyes were cold and hard as he glared at me and the muscle in his jaw ticked furiously as his eyes pierced into my soul.He was mad, furious.But I met
AubreyI succeeded in avoiding Connor throughout the duration Naomi was away, making sure to stay indoors when I knew he was out training, and coming out when I knew he was indoors doing whatever Commor liked to do.Yes I had to study his schedule. That was the only way I could ensure I was safe from him.He was right, and I felt a bit guilty for eavesdropping on his conversation with his mother, and against my will, I felt sorry for him.Being spoken to by your mother that way wasn't a great thing. I couldn't imagine my mother hating me. She was all I had.But everything I remembered how he spoke tobmy own mother, all the emotions of sympathy and guilt flew away. He was just like his mother. I could see where he learnt it from.But avoiding him became impossible when Naomi finally returned. The Naomi I expected to return was one who was all smiles, but seeing her red with tears had me filled with Anger as my eyes landed on the culprit, Connor, who had a guilty look on his face.My wo
ConnorThe minute everyone left my cabin, i was finally able to breathe again without her scent running up into my nose. Why did she have to have good hygiene? Why did she need to smell like a meadow, the complete opposite of her personality.She was the most infuriating little witch, and she was getting under my skin more and more for some reason, my wolf was extremely sensitive to every move she makes. While we watched the movie last night, i couldn't focus on anything else because i could hear every intake of air she had, every snot like laughter, and every time she glanced at me.I could feel it all. I need to let out some steam. I couldnt do it at the palace so i had decided to stay at the cabin and do what helps me blow off steam best, exercise.Turning up the music, i pulled off my shirt and hheaded to the gym. Every punch, every beat of the songs booming through the house fueled me with relief, and she was slowly leaving my mind. It was true what they said about hate being almo
