After I finished my day's work in the garden and in the kitchen today, I decided to go home. as per my request to mistress Mary she agreed to allocate me inside the Pack house kitchen and the garden only today. I did not want to see or talk to Patricia and Aria. I also wanted to avoid Beta Luke at all costs. After what happened and after the secret that Patricia reveals to me I still wasn't ready to deal with it. I did not know what she expected of me. but I was a horrible liar. If I wanted to successfully keep Patricia secret then it meant that I had to avoid looking at all costs. Earlier today Lydia had told me that Luke was looking for me. and I didn't know how to react. He probably wanted to talk to me about Patricia and how grateful he is that she has opened up to him. The thing is that even though Luke knows about Patricia's pregnancy he doesn't know that it doesn't belong to him. What happens when you start looking at me as a source of truth and honesty for him? I did not want
Fear cascaded down my rosy cheeks as I stared at her. I tried to understand what it was and what was wrong. Why trouble seems to follow me everywhere I go.“ I didn't do anything.’’ I let out as I cried. “Zoey is lying. she's the one who…’’Thwart! so I moved up from the sofa and towards me at an electrifying speed before she slapped my face and really. she stared down at me with an expression full of malice and lips that spelt out, “ I told you so.’’“You're not going to accuse me of your own wrong doings. you decided to be a whore and now you're going to suffer the consequences of it.’’ Zoe said as she stood at the side of her sister. she began his shoulders as Bethany placed her head on her shoulder feeling comforted. I couldn't believe what I was seeing. I stared back at my stepmother hoping that she would say something. Why is it that she let them hit me? Is this what it has come to now?“ Are you not going to ask for my side of the story?” I asked my stepmother as I stared into
My workload in the Pack House had significantly increased. It felt as if I was being punished and I didn't know why or what I had done. mistress Mary hardly ever looked me in the eye when she talked to me anymore. all the other servants were behaving weird and I was still trying to piece together what was happening.The Queen had not called for me again and I was beginning to get worried. I was still thinking about what she had said and I was quite confused about what my next move would be. Was it wise for me to tell Weston about everything? He was my best friend once and right now we are more than that. but there is a gap between that that still confuses me. He has been with me physically. But was he using me? Was this just a temporary release for his stress in his upcoming meeting ceremony with seraphina? We have not talked about it. and I feel that the both of us were just afraid to bring up that topic because of what it would mean“ alondra!’’ the voice called out from behind me c
I grabbed the bucket of flowers and moved deeper into the garden, counting my steps so as to not trample on the freshly planted ones.“You're playing with fire here alondra. You do not know what I'm capable of. I am not a man who asks twice…”“ whatever you're planning to ask me, the answer is no. no in 1000 years. I refuse to be an accomplice for whatever plans you're cooking up. I have already suffered in your hands Justin and I can never trust you again. why don't you go back to Bethany. My step-sister is smitten with you despite what a horrible person you are.’’ I rolled my eyes as I shrugged, squaring my shoulders away from him.“Your sister does not have the wonderful person you are. I don't understand why you won't just have me…”“Have you for what? What is all this really about, Justin? Why do you keep pestering me? I'm just a servant girl. There's nothing special about me. in fact if you wanted someone more important you'd have more luck with Lydia.’’ I said to him as I dragg
I had spent the last 30 minutes banging at the door yet no response. I was not convinced that my stepmom and stepsister are already asleep. as I walked away shivering in the cold and rubbing my arm, I decided that there was only one place I could go. and so I decided to run. It was late in the night, almost midnight and the streets were empty. The Pack was asleep. no one was going to open the doors for me unless the doors were never closed to begin with. it didn't take me long to reach the pack house that was. there was a girl standing at the entrance and when he saw me he got up immediately and blocked the door.‘ are you on night shift on something?’’ he asked immediately as he looked at me swimming irritated.“ alondra?’’ the alphas' voice sounded as the guard in front of me changed his approach and bowed his head. I looked back at Weston trying to fight back the tears.“What's wrong? Why are you outside at this late hour?’’ His question, seeming to anything that broke me up, made
I stared into his eyes. I tried to search for just a hint of insincerity or doubt behind them but it was as if his mind was made up. yet he spoke to me like he was in pain. like he was holding himself back from saying something Rush. “But i love you. I’ve never been with Justin.’’ I let out in between jobs trying to hold myself back. I didn't like the emotions spewing out of me. “Alondra please don't make a fool out of me. I'm being understanding here but it will only go so far.’’ “What are you talking about here? nothing is going on between your cousin and I. other than some sickly lie he concocted to get my own sister's to hate me there is nothing going on and you know it. why would you just assume so?’’ I asked feeling rather heart. he paused for a moment and remained quiet. he stared at me searching my eyes. his lack of faith in me was offensive but not as offensive as how quickly he was ready to let me go.“ so you're not with my cousin?’’ he asked this time his voice match l
“For a split second I was convinced I was in love with you but when I looked at you I realized that I was only infatuated with how much of a good best friend you are. I have never happened romantic feelings for you Alondra Greene.’’ The words sliced into my chest like an arrow sent from a distance. What made it hurt the most was that I hadn't even expected search cruelty to come from him.“ you are the last person I expected to hurt me.’’ I let her out clench my fists as I walked towards the door. I felt as if my world was spinning. I didn't want to deal with this. I wanted to lock it at the back of my mind and forget about it completely. that would have been better for me right? Because if I chose to completely forget about it then I wouldn't need to deal with it or the pain that it came with. I started sneezing the moment I opened that door and a cold breeze hit me.“You're going to get a fever.’’ He says as he pulls me back into the room and shuts the door.“ I don't want to be a
I carried a fresh basket of fruits and vegetables and walked into the kitchen with it. The other servants have been treating me differently but I wasn't going to ask anything about it. Something was incredibly weird but I had had enough crap to deal with today.I was filled with double the jobs I had yesterday. Mistress Mary Ann had changed the way she spoke to me and I felt like an outcast throughout the entire Pack. there wasn't a single moment where I didn't reach that the ground would open up and swallow me. I was fed up. I set the basket of fruits on the kitchen counter before heading into the store. I could hear the murmurs of the Maids who were in the kitchen and it was all about Justin and I. That man has done nothing but destroy my life and make it worse. Picking up the bucket of produce that was to be taken to the garden, I headed out. I tuned out the voices in my head and chose to clear my mind. I don't stop until I am almost at the entrance of the garden. Even when I see
