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
Hidden behind a thick cluster of rose bushes. The conspirators, unaware of our presence, had grown suspicious. They had heard something—a small, innocent sneeze that had escaped Seraphina's lips. Now, their relentless search threatened to expose us.We exchanged worried glances, fear dancing in our eyes. With every step they took, their voices grew louder, their intent palpable. The stranger's voice carried a chilling determination as he barked orders, demanding a thorough investigation of the area."Someone is here," he hissed. "Find them, or our plan is jeopardized."Our hearts pounded in our chests as we silently moved from one hiding spot to another. The garden, once a sanctuary, had become a labyrinth of danger. We darted behind a row of tall hedges, our bodies pressed flat against the foliage. I could hear my own heartbeat, the adrenaline pumping through my veins.The men's footsteps echoed, growing closer. We held our breath, praying that the rustling of leaves beneath their fe
That's it. The cat is out of the bag. the beans were spilled.All this time I had not fixed it. I didn't even stop to think about it because I knew that I had all the time in the world. between was going to do everything in her power to make sure that this truth would remain nothing but a secret. yet while hiding behind the bushes the truth has been announced for seraphina to hear. the man that she will be spending the rest of her life with was mated to a servant.This time she hears with the men as they continue to talk.“No one knows,’’ The voice dragged on, standing in the shadows. “No one knows that the servant is the rightful mate to Alpha Weston Pierce.’’Silence accosted the vicinity, we knelt there, staring into the mere darkness. Seraphina, seemingly shocked, stared back at me.“Di..Did y…” Her words trailed into incomplete sentences. Her face flashed with horror as her eyes met mine. My eyes, something I've never been able to lie with.We were friends, I should have told he
“Then it’s settled. We bring down the Pierce dynasty in a week. And the key to all this is a simple servant girl. Alondra dies, And the Alpha dies with her.’’The words of the man had created such an uproar inside me. Died? They wanted me dead?“Come on!’’ Seraphina whispered as she got up from the bush.“NO!’’ I rebuked as I tried to hold her down. “They’re gonna catch you hun.’’“Look again Alondra, they’re gone.’’ She exclaimed, causing me to look back into the garden. And it was true, no one was there. It was as if they had just disappeared.“Where did they go?” I asked.“They left a few minutes ago. What’s wrong with you, did you zone out or something?’’ She asked with irritation. My fingers left her hands as I watched her tiptoe out. I remained there, staring into empty space as their words echoed in my mind.It couldn’t be.“Seraphina, wait!’’ I exclaimed as I got to my feet and ran after her. “We have to be careful about this.’’I rushed towards the garden exit where I could s
My energy to fight. It made me hollow and without purpose. How? How was that possible?“There was a man. They want to kill the Alpha. Please, you have to listen to me. I have to help him.’’ I shouted and begged, kicking my feet as they dragged me across the floors.“Please let me talk to Weston. He’ll believe me, he’ll hear me.” I begged. “They want to kill the Alpha. Why aren’t you listening to me?’’My words kept falling on deaf ears, and my struggles against them made it feel like I was not putting in much of an effort. It made me hopeless and frustrated.I was led into the throne room, a dark and rather quiet place where only serious stuff happened.All my life, I had only come into this room on two occasions. For one, when I was cleaning. Which would often happen once a week depending on who Mistress Mary put on the shift. And the other times, when we were kids, where Weston would bring I and Trish here, then pretend to be Alpha, seating on the throne and ruling over the subjects
I was dragged into the dark cells that were formerly known as the pack dungeons. There wasn’t really a big change or difference. Alpha Mark, a few years ago, just demanded that the names of the dungeons be changed to cells because dungeons were mainly for beasts. I did not see what the big deal was, but I was not going to argue about it either.“Please believe me, the Alpha is in danger.’’ I tried to plead with the guards who were bringing me here.“Just shut up, even the Alpha caught on with your bullshit.” He answered as he locked the cell door, leaving me to sleep on the cold floor that was slightly covered with hay. There was an unpleasant smell that remained, making it feel like this was not the kind of place where a person was supposed to be.“You’ll get used to it.’’ the voice came from the next cell.“What?’’“Soon enough you’ll stop begging and pleading, and get used to the fact that you are here to stay. This is your new home, Alondra.’’“How do you know my name?’’ I asked i
