"Thank you and have a nice day."Christen nodded to the cashier before taking her leave out the supermarket, a bag of groceries in hand. ‘This should be everything on the list,’ she thought, glancing at the grocery list she had in her other hand.She had been working in Forrest’s mansion as a servant for several days now. In the time that passed, as she expected, not one of her peers made any attempt to get along with her.Instead, they tried to find various ways to get her out of the house. At least, Christen thought they were trying to. Often times, though, she noticed how some of the servants would try to make attempts to either get her hurt or make a mess of things, only for the ideas to be turned down in the end, out of fear of Forrest and Kiara finding out. They still pushed her around, somewhat, and had her handle several difficult tasks on her own, but she managed. It was no different from her childhood, as she often had to take care of things her family servants would do. ‘Fo
Christen could not comprehend it. She could not comprehend what happened just minutes earlier with Jack, or even now with Kiara. Whom she was waiting for after she got dragged off to a park, and was told by her to wait at the bench they stopped at, as she walked away to somewhere. ‘Should I sit and wait?’ she considered, standing by the bench instead of sitting on it, as anyone would, before shaking her head. ‘No, it would be considered inappropriate if I did. I’m just a servant, after all. That is… Unless if this is Kiara’s way of making me leave; getting me in trouble with Forrest. Or better yet, she just left me here to abandon me, telling me to never come back.’ Would Kiara really do that? She wasn’t entirely sure. Christen wanted to think the woman would be returning soon, considering all the other nice things she had done for her, but it was hard to say, given her history with plenty other people who played the kindness card on her. Not only that, but there is also their connec
Christen sighed as she walked away from the park- from Kiara- as she recalled their interaction in her head.‘She didn’t deserve that,’ she thought. ‘I should’ve been more mature over that. And I’m supposed to be an adult? I really am a waste of space, to act out like that.'She stopped in her track and let out another sigh. "Should I even bother going back to the mansion at this point?" she wondered aloud.No matter how Christen thought about it, should she really bother to return to that place? To the place where she would get nothing but disapproving or judging eyes. Scorns for even trying to help. Much like she had been receiving in her childhood. She may had pleaded with Forrest to let her stay with her son, but now she wondered if that was but a mistake. More than just a mistake, as she wandered if Christian was not really a blessing in her life, but a-The second the negative thought reached her mind, she shook her head. ‘Don't be ridiculous!’ she told herself, smacking her che
Christen was shocked to see who it was who saved her. After how disrespectful she was earlier, she didn’t think Kiara would save her. Much less, help her.Somewhat recovering from the kick, Otto glared off Kiara. “Huh? And what’s it to you?” he demanded. "We have business with the girl. You can just go to whatever gathering you're missing out on and pretend you don’t even know this one. I’m sure one less servant would mean nothing to you. Especially not someone like her.”Christen didn’t like how the guy had singled her out the way he did. She had just met them, after all. Yet, already they speak about her like they knew her since childhood. That is, the people who knew her merely as the youngest McGuire daughter prior to marrying Forrest would treat her the way Otto was.As it just so happens, she was not the only one who disliked this man's attitude, as Kiara glared at the pair and took in a breath. “I am going to give you two five seconds to get out of my sight. One…”Otto scoffed
As Scar continued to drag Otto away from the scene, the latter’s struggle refused to cease, as he tried to get his fellow werewolf’s hands off of him. It was only after the pair were deep in an alley that Scar finally released his hold on him."What were you trying to do, suffocate me to death?!” he demanded. "Our target was right there!""Under the protection of another werewolf," Scar added. "And not just any werewolf, but an Alpha, in case if your senses has gone dull these past several days of searching in this world.”Otto waved off at the warning. "Bah, like that werewolf was anyone we should be worried about. Or have you forgotten her powerful our own Alpha was? Had you just mentioned his name, and it was sure to get that damn female running.“ Once he said that, he then placed his hand on his chin in thought. “In fact, now that I think about it, I probably should’ve done that with that human, too. Then again, with all those other scents on her, I doubt she would even remember h
Scar entered the room upon permission, where he saw Alpha Fenris sitting at his desk, looking over some paperwork. The second he walked in, Fenris let out a sigh, as he set down some documents he was reading."This has better be good, Scar,” he warned. "I am giving you but one change to explain yourself. Tell me why you and Otto failed to bring my mate here. Assuming if you really did find her as you claim, that is.”‘Straight to the point,' Scar thought, for he had a feeling his Alpha would want to talk about that the moment he was in his presence."There were some complications on the matter,” he began. “To start Otto may have gone a bit… ‘rough' on her.”“‘Rough’ how?” Fenris questioned, narrowing his eyes in suspicion with a low growl. “I promise you now, Scar, if there is so much of even a little scratch on her-““She’s not hurt. Probably a bit shaken, but Otto didn’t hurt her,” Scar hastily interrupted. “He may have laid a hand on her during it encounter, but she is fine.”Fenri
"That happened?" Forrest asked Kiara, who had told him of the everts that occurred earlier today with Christen. Specifically about a pair of werewolves apparently after her."Believe it or not, yes," she confirmed. "I managed to get them to leave, but there's no telling if those two will come back for her. Nor if their Alpha will cease his search for her.”"Did they ever say why the Alpha wanted Christen?” Forrest asked, getting a head shake from his mate.“No, but if a werewolf want a human that badly, it is rarely for a good reason.“When Kiara puts it that way, it did raise much concern to Forrest. He may be one to talk about having some obsession over finding a human, but only because he wanted to make things right with Christen after he made her life worsen. Still…‘Back when Kiara and I were looking for Christen, we had our park mates help search for her, even though they didn’t have any particular positive thoughts on humans. Was it possible that…?' Forrest shook his head then.
Christen was resting in her room, thinking about what happened today. It was supposed to be a normal shopping trip, as it had been the past few days. Then suddenly Kiara came by wanting to spend time with her- interrogate her, actually, about her treatment to Christian, or lack thereof- and a pair of guys came and nearly abducted her in broad daylight.The way those two men- mainly Otto- treated her, as well as the indifferent gaze the people around them had to her situation. They all had quite the effect on Christen. What with how they reminded her of her childhood, and her place in the would. If she even had a place here.‘Kiara... Why did she even bother helping me?' she wondered. ‘Without me in the picture, it would’ve been easier for her to have Christian as her son.’No matter how much she thought about it, there was nothing that could’ve benefited Kiara in keeping her around. Not as much as it would in getting her out of the house, as the other servants would want."Why have yo
