"You are useless, Ethel" Mr. Adams said to his daughter. Ethel lowered her face back to the floor, sobbing silently. "You see what you caused? I am having my toes chopped off! And it is all because of you! Don't you dare come back home! Don't you dare come back home or else I am getting you killed, Ethel!!" He screamed at her.Tyler pressed his lips into a thin line and glanced over at Ethel for a second, her shoulders shook lightly with her sobs. Tyler took his eyes away from her and looked at Mr Adams who would not stop ranting about how useless his daughter was. "Mr. Adams" Tyler called when he could not stand it anymore. "You should not talk to Ethel that way, not when you were the one who schemed all of this""Beta Tyler, you... " Mr Adams stopped talking and sucked in a large amount of air into his lungs and glared at his daughter. Tyler walked over to Mr. Adams and grabbed him by the arm. "Mr. Adams, let's get your toes chopped off. I will try to make it as painless as p
It was 10am when Ethel left the room. She had taken a bath and dressed up in one of the clothes that was meant for Lucy. She stepped into the passage and could not help but notice how sparkly clean it was. She walked to the stairs and the intricate designs of the hand rail hooked her. It was so beautiful and carefully done. Fear and tension had not allowed her notice so much details of the mansion the previous night. Ethel took a few seconds to admire the designs of the hand rail before continuing her walk down the stairs. Thoughts of her father, her mother and Lucy flashed through her mind but she was able to push away the thoughts before it would get to her heart. "It all already happened. I just have to survive" she mumbled to herself as she climbed down the last stair. Ethel pulled herself to the kitchen door and pushed open the door.She stepped into the kitchen and let her eyes roam around the clean place. She approached the cooker and noted that it had been used that morni
Ethel stared at the retreating figure of Alpha Carl until he completely disappeared from her sight.She still stood at the same spot thinking about the new rule. She was not allowed to go close to him.Ethel bit gently on her lower lip. It wasn't like she would glue herself to him anyways, after all he was not her mate. ."Anything the issue?" Tyler's voice came from behind, shaking Ethel back to life.Before she could turn back to glance at him, he was already by her side."Uhm... Welcome back, Beta Tyler" Ethel greeted."I told you already, Ethel. You can call me Tyler" he paused for some seconds. "Ethel" he added and let out a soft smile. It was clear that he enjoyed having her name roll out of his tongue. Ethel simply lowered her head without a response to him. "Was Alpha Carl being harsh with you just now?" Tyler asked. "Not at all. He only gave me a rule.""Which is....?" "I am not allowed to come close to him. All I should do is stay away" she replied. "That's not that
Ethel stared back at the Alpha in even more confusion. She had no clues about the moon ring and absolutely did not understand what he was asking her. "I am Ethel Adams" she replied timidly, wondering if that didn't sound dumb. "I know you are Ethel Adams" he groaned. "What are you? Why do you make the moon ring shine?" He requested again, this time sounding more impatient "Alpha Carl, I do not have any idea what the moon ring is" Ethel replied and though Alpha Carl clearly had more questions to ask, he kept them to himself as he realised that whatever was going on, Ethel most probably didn't have a clue. He slowly let go of her hand."Leave" he uttered the one word order. Ethel took three steps away from him and had just turned to walk away when all of a sudden, the lights went off. Ethel shrieked as both she and Alpha Carl were immediately enveloped by the darkness. Alpha Carl's first object of attention was the ring that had suddenly stopped shining. "What is wrong with the
Ethel's lips were parted as she breathed out heavily, trying to process what had just happened. She had just been kissed by the Alpha and it was a great kiss, a kiss that had totally blown her mind away. Ethel's eyes were still on Alpha Carl's lips and he was staring at her too, the both of them seemingly ignoring the presence of Tyler in the room. "Alpha Carl" a soft voice called, attracting the attention of Alpha Carl and Ethel. The both of them looked towards the direction of the voice and there was a lady standing, a bit farther away from Tyler. Alpha Carl recognized her almost immediately."Hayley?" Alpha Carl stood up from his kneeling position.That was when Alpha Carl understood what had happened to the lights. It was Hayley's habit to have the lights turned off whenever she was making her entrance after a long time and then she would turn it on when he could see her. That way, she felt like she came into his life as the light of it except that she was moe far from being
Alpha Carl, dressed up for work, stepped down from the last stair the same time Hayley walked into the living room. "Good morning, Alpha Carl" She greeted with a slight bow, still walking towards him to close the quite long distance between the both of them. "I told you to never come back, why are you here?" Alpha Carl asked, his gaze cold and piercing. Hayley gulped down, noting that the eyes she was seeing at the moment was colder than she ever remembered it to be ."I am here... I am here to see if you have forgiven me for what I did"Alpha Carl's lips curled up in a small smile that left as quickly as it had appeared. "Forgiveness? I kind of don't remember that the word even exists"Hayley lowered her head for a second. "I am really sorry for killing Molly. I... I just wanted your love and even right now, I still do. I still want your love.""I only have one question for you, Hayley. You were also a friend of Molly, you could not have killed her just because you want me, ther
Alpha Carl settled into his seat in the office. He reached for his laptop and pulled it a bit closer to himself. "Is there anything that you would like to have, Alpha?" Tyler asked. "Get the witch to come over tonight. I have some questions to ask her" he replied. "As you wish" Tyler replied and opened his mouth to say something else but he hesitated and decided against saying it. "I will take my leave now" Tyler added.A few seconds later, the scent of Tyler faded and Alpha Carl heard the door closing. After working for a few hours, Alpha Carl wanted some tea and instead of calling out to Tyler, he decided to go get it himself. Rolling his sleeves up his arm, he got up from his seat and walked out of the office. He walked down the short passage that led to the elevator and stepped into it. The journey to the floor he was heading to was short and he stepped out of the elevator in no time. Stepping out of the elevator, the first thing he set his eyes on was a kissing couple.
Alpha Carl walked down the last stair, cussing himself silently for the nasty thoughts he had been having."I guess I am really horny these days. Might just need to get laid soon enough.""Cardia" he called the name of the witch, taking his seat on the sofa. "Have your seat, Cardia" Alpha Carl said to the witch who was standing with a deep bow. "Thank you" she mumbled and took her seat. For a was a woman in her late fifties, the witch looked younger and more energetic and it had been rumored that the witch practiced magic that made her look as young as thirty year old. Alpha Carl didn't care about rumors anyways. "What is it that makes you call out to me, Alpha?" Cardia asked. Alpha Carl reached for the ring and pulled it out of his finger. "The moon ring" Cardia smiled, her eyes on the object of power. "Yes, Cardia. It shone yesterday night""That is very normal, Alpha. Since your mate is now living with you, it would shine every now and then and when the both of you mate wit
