CHAPTER TWENTY ONE
RONIN.Without another word I began to sprint hurriedly down the corridor and towards Andrea's room. I could hear my heart pounding very fast as the urgency of the situation told me that I should he faster even. I couldn't believe that I hadn't hadn't thought about her for the past few days, and I hadn't gone to see and talk to her after what had happened between us the previous day. The thought ran in and out of my mind and I was shocked at how thoughtless I could be. Was she in a very bad condition now? I knew I wouldn't forgive myself if that was the case. The thought that she had locked herself up from five fucking days now told me that what happened had hurt her deeply and it was going to take a while before she got herself back, coupled by apologies from me, telling her how sorry I was about what i had said to her, how I had choked her and nearly made her pass out back there at the room. I could hear the veins in my temple pulse as I turned into a new passageway, ignoring the

RONIN. My words were followed by a very heavy silence and the tension continued to intensify as I stood behind the locked door. I could hear the maids all talking about what was happening and the threat I had just made had the whispers getting more and more profound.And it was very annoying, to say the least. My frustration was mounting with each passing second, and the fact that she had ignored me made me mad. This was worse than I thought! I said to myself, heavily regretting my choices lately. It wasn't until I had knocked that she replied, as if she took joy in seeing me getting more and more frustrated. "If you want to bring down the door, go ahead. It's your door anyways, and I'd love to see you try." She retorted before a butter laugh escaped her lips again. The laugh was what got to me, because of how hollow and how much pain that was filled in there. The challenge in her voice threw me off guard for a second and I knew she seemed like someone who had nothing to lose. I k

CHAPTER TWENTY THREE.
-CHAPTER 23-RONIN.The air was charged at this point and the atmosphere had completely shifted. Our faces were inches apart as we stood there, staring at each other. I was taken aback by the fact that she wasn't resisting any of it. She wasn't fighting and asking me what in the world I thought I was doing. She wasn't pulling away. Instead, it all just seemed different, and somewhat beautiful like a fleeting moment where it all seemed like we were about to bridge the emotional gap between us. Something about the passion and vulnerability in her eyes at this point told me that that was how she felt deep down. I continued to close in on her lips, momentarily looking in her eyes to know if she really wanted this, if I wasn't forcing her or if she was doing this because she was too weak to resist and tell me to stop. But it wasn't any of that. Our lips had only brushed, and we were about to lock lips and tongues when a knock sounded on the door. My heart was beating fast when I pulled

-CHAPTER 24-ANDREA"The Alpha asked me to deliver this to you." She said, glancing up at me one more time before cowering.I could tell that she was still scared from the way I had been acting towards the maids recently and the smile on her face was just a way to put up with it. I eyed her as I inched closer, subsequently glancing at what she was carrying.Julia had just delivered a beautifully wrapped gift which she said the Alpha had ordered her to give me. His apology was enough, and even though there was still some undercurrent of tension, it still felt like a step towards the right direction. I couldn't wait to get things started.It felt magical the way my feelings had changed ever since he acknowledged the things he had done. The tight feeling in my chest and my clogged heart now felt free from the pain that I had been going through for a very long now."Hand it over." I said, looking at the box. I was hooked, because I couldn’t tell what was inside and I couldn’t also believe

CHAPTER 25-ANDREA"Hey!" I called, approaching the group of maidens that were stalled at one end of the long hallway, talking in indiscernible tone as I walked out of the dining room. They all raised their heads simultaneously and immediately scattered off into different directions. That was the moment it hit me, like a freight train, that something was absolutely amiss. I stood there, dealing with the shock and the embarrassment that filled me now. I just couldn't believe what was going on. I remembered how a very similar incident had transpired just some minutes ago in the dining room. The maid just strutted into the room, delivering the delicacies they had made before quickly scurrying out of the room like they were bound under a rule that stated a specific time they were all supposed to be in the dining room.It didn't seem strange to me at first, but when everyone began to behave in the same way, I knew something was up. The days had continued to stretch on and the disquieting

-CHAPTER 26-ANDREAA shocked gasp left me as I unintentionally pushed back the maid, causing her to hit her head on the wall. She winced in pain, and I barely muttered a sorry before I got to the door. I turned back instinctively again, intent on finding out who had done this. "And who gave you the order?" I asked. She was stuttering as she replied, still cradling her head. "O- one of the guards told us everything. He said it was a warning, an order from above. And... that... anyone who dared to break this order would be punished severely, in other terms, death. So, my lady, I am in danger speaking to you right now." She finished, still whimpering like a scared dog. I heard footsteps outside, one of the maids was approaching. There wasn't a doubt that they liked to talk too much, and one of them might end up snitching on her. I grabbed the bolts and locked it. That was the moment a knock sounded on the door. The person outside pushed the door, causing my heart to jump. The force a

CHAPTER 27.ANDREA.I returned in the evening, just as I had promised. The guard dared not to intercept me now, and he had only nodded in acknowledgment as I passed and made my way towards the office. I walked through the door and found Alpha Ronin sitting behind the desk. He was going through a series of letters and there were other piles of papers stationed beside the letters. He was engrossed, and his focus was slightly veered the moment he noticed someone had walked in. He put down the paper and looked up at me. He didn't say anything until I pulled out a seat and settled on it. His gaze softened and there wasn't a doubt that he looked surprised. Maybe the guard hadn't informed him that I would be coming. That didn't matter at all, as I was only here to talk about the things I felt needed to be taken care of before it got out of hand and I would be forced to hurt someone. "Andrea?" His brows came together in surprise as he stared at me. There was a hint of fatigue in his eyes

CHAPTER TWENTY EIGHT
ANDREAThe smile on her face seemed to linger and I couldn't help but wonder if she was being serious or if she was lying and being sarcastic, you know, doing everything in her power just to make sure that I was uncomfortable. Something in the way she was looking at me now told me that she was being serious and I seriously hope not. She interrupted my thoughts suddenly, drawing me out of my reverie. "I'd like to show you something." She said, this time around her smile was even more broad. I gave her an unsure look. "What is that?" I asked, but she didn't reply at the moment. She delved in her dress, fumbling for something within. I wondered what it was, something to emphasise the shocking announcement she had just made. "Just wait and you will see." She added, chuckling darkly before she finally took the thing off. She raised it in the air so that I could see it but I had no idea what it was and the inscriptions on it were so far and vague for me to read and make sense of it. "W

CHAPTER TWENTY NINE
ANDREAThe confrontations with Valerie didn't end there. I guessed she had gotten a hint that her attempts to belittle me weren't going as much as she had expected and that's why she continued to confront me. The next day wasn't an exception, as I found myself staring at her in the face yet again, reeking of hate while sensing the maids that were moving around again. This time around she looked happier, and there was a wicked smile on her lips while her eyes gleamed with a malevolent spark. I didn't say anything at first but instead had myself prepared for whatever verbal assault that she was going to come with this time. I was ready to face her head on and I didn't mind if she said that worst. But the funny and yet annoying thing about this was the fact that sometimes after bracing myself for whatever she was going to say, I still felt angry and sad after she had said them. "Andrea, it seems you haven't done what you said you were going to do." She purred, sounding so sweet yet de

CHAPTER THIRTY
RONINI felt so tired as I made my way back to my chambers, ignoring the greetings from the guards around me. I didn't want to hear any voices now, because the voices in my head nearly drove me crazy. I had been working for a very long time, and it was gradually beginning to take a toll on my nerves, so all I wanted at this point was some rest and respite away from the things that nearly drove me insane. There had been a lot of arrangements going on lately- the sightings at the Pack border that the guards have been following ever since, the rogue tracks that proved a potential threat, the preparations for upcoming Pack meetings in our Region and rebuilding a lot of fallen structures and monuments. I was supposed to oversee and approve all these, without anyone's help, and I guess that was the reason I felt this way. Grabbing the door to my chambers, I flung it open before walking inside in haste. Banging the door close, I immediately grabbed the button of my suit and had it undone
