CHAPTER 55“Brother?” Stacey called out surprisingly with a raised brow.Lena stood up from the bed immediately, bowing to Stacey and wanting to walk out when Stacey grabbed her arm.“So the alpha is your brother and no one knows about it? Why? What are you guys keeping? Why are you acting like a maid when you can be with him and you can stop living the maid’s life?”“It’s complicated. You must not tell anyone, not even Ronan. He’s going to kill me if you know. It’s supposed to be a secret.” Stacey nodded, pulling Lena back to the bed and seating her down. She dragged the chair from the makeup table and placed it in front of Lena, crossing her legs before looking at Lena.“If you don’t want me to tell him, at least you can tell me why you’re acting like a maid and why it’s only Ronan that knows about you.” “It’s complicated. You can't know about it. No one can know about it until it’s all done. It was a mistake, can't you just pretend you didn’t hear it?”“Then I'll ask Ronan then.”
Chapter 56“Let her go, Stacey,” Ronan said from the door.Stacey’s grip loosened as she blinked rapidly, her eyeballs returning to its normal color before she finally removed her hand. She stood up from the chair and walked towards the door, ignoring Ronan who watched her walk out as she left them alone.“You didn’t tell me you’ll have to provoke her to see if she can control her emotions or not.”The priestess coughed out as she picked her jug and poured some water into the cup, downing it at a go before sighing heavily.“What other way did you think we’ll get her to control her emotions?”“Why can’t you use the happy ways? You’re using her sad past that she clearly does not want to remember to cover it up for her and you think she’ll listen? Those are past she doesn’t want to remember! You don’t have to force her to!”“You’re even tampering with her memories, seeing things you’re not supposed to be seeing. You don’t have the right to that!” Ronan growled at her.The priestess lowere
Chapter 57“Your brother has a mood disorder. You better have the priestess have him checked out or the doctor.” Stacey said in a hushed tone to Lena. “Why are we talking in a hushed tone?” Lena questioned with a raised brow.Stacey sighed, shaking her head negatively as she leaned closer to Lena’s ears, “this is the point where you tell me your secret, and we have to talk in a hushed tone because we don’t want anyone to hear.”“But we’re the only one in the room,” Lena refuted again, her brows going higher in a state of confusion.Stacey sighed in despair as she fell to the bed, placing her palms on each other and staring at the ceiling.“I’ve always wanted to try talking in a hushed tone. People in my pack do it, even the elders during meetings. The maids also do it and I wonder what they talk about.”“So you mean no one has ever whispered in your ears before? No one at all?” Lena asked, her state of confusion changing into one of surprise.Stacey smiled sadly, blinking rapidly to
Chapter 58“I don’t want to hear any complaints please Niya. You can go to your father and let him know whatever complaints you'd like to make to him.” Eric cut her off before she could start, hastening his steps and walking away. “It’s better you find something to do about it! It’s getting out of hand and for real you don’t want me to…” Eric had rushed back to meet her, slamming his hand on her mouth to keep her mum before dragging her away from where they were.“At least, learn to keep quiet. Some places are not meant to be yelled at.” He said through gritted teeth.Lena and Stacey exchanged a glance as they shut the door back, moving back to the bed.“What’s wrong? Were you eavesdropping on their conversation again?” She asked. “No. Not at all. I was coming from where..” Stacey started, gulping down heavily.“Where’s the snacks?” Stacey asked with raised brows. Lena looked down at her empty hands, rubbing it against her clothes before looking back at Stacey. “I’ll go get it no
Chapter 59Stacey blushed furiously as he said this, leaving his hand on her cheeks for a while as they both stared at each other. She felt a different kind of sensation rush to her lower body, and sent tingles to the rest of her body. His hand moved from her cheeks, tucking her hair to the back of her ear before patting her head softly.“Are you okay ronan?” Stacey asked, concern laced in her voice.“Lie with me.” He said to her. He stood up from the bed, taking off his cloth and leaving him with a thin one as he stretched his arm to her.“It’s not night…“Just lie with me.” He cut her off. “I can’t take off…“If you’ll be comfortable with what you’re wearing..” he cut her off again, not breaking eye contact. “You can use it to lie with me. I’m not going to touch you unless you want me to.” He added.Stacey gulped down, feeling her heartbeat quicken at his last words. She was in the same gown she wore for her training and didn’t find it comfortable lying down with it.“I’ll change f
Chapter 60By the time Stacey woke up, everywhere was plain dark and even the warmth she was feeling before she slept was long gone. She managed to turn on the lamp beside her, yawning with her eyes closed before rubbing her eyes. She glanced beside her to meet the side of his bed empty, and couldn’t help but feel devastated about it. “You’re such a fool Stacey. He wanted you to listen to him and pet him and you slept off.” Freya mindlinked immediately. “I didn’t fall asleep on purpose. He was stroking my hair. That made me fall asleep. And he even kissed me on my forehead. Do you know how blissful that is?” Stacey retorted, climbing down the bed and approaching the toilet. She was just about to open the door when the door opened from inside, causing her to move back a bit before coming to meet Ronan’s eyes. “You..” she said, pointing at him.“Yes, me. What?” Ronan replied, eyeing her before walking away from the toilet.“I thought he left already.” Stacey mindlinked Freya.“Well
Chapter 61Ronan finally settled to eat Stacey’s food, admitting defeat as they both ate in silence. “So you don’t know how to cook and you were claiming to know how to cook?”“I don’t want to talk about it.” He replied.Stacey smiled, continuing her food as she stared at him, “why don’t you know how to cook?”“That’s because I don’t know how to. I tried to. But my father use to tell me, ladies belong in the kitchen while he teaches me how to rule the pack.”“And without any lady, you’ll have to starve. I feel pity for you.”“That’s why I have the maids. I shouldn’t have trusted Lena.”Stacey laughed out before everything fell quiet again. “How was your childhood with Lena? She seems pretty awesome by the way, like a big sister.”Ronan looked up from his food and met her eyes, “she is pretty awesome. Everyone in the pack respected her, adored her. She was the prettiest then and had a lot of competitors in the pack.”“Competitor? For what?” Stacey asked with raised brow.“People belie
Chapter 62Stacey started tossing and turning the moment she hit the bed, not able to get both the kiss and his words off her mind. What did he mean by he wanted to do it? Does that mean he has been wanting to kiss her? “Just quit thinking and sleep.” Freya mindlinked.“I can’t sleep, Freya. I can’t sleep. How should I sleep when he said something like that?”“I don’t know. Maybe start by closing your eyes?” Freya retorted.Stacey shut her up, closing her eyes as the moment replayed in her head. She has been talking, annoyed by the fact that he didn’t want to listen to what she wanted to say and he has just leaned in like that.“Ahhh.” She squealed quietly on the bed, opening her eyes and seating up.She turned the lamp on again as her hand reached her lips. She didn’t even know how it happened, everything just happened all of a sudden, and he was close to her, their noses touching, her eyes boring hole into his closed face, and his lips on hers. “He didn’t even bother to go further
