At any other given moment before this one, I would have been nervous. Being called into the queen's office is no easy call. but so far, Mrs Pierce had called me into her office a dozen times and it was always the same lecture. Stay away from my son. Stay away from Patricia.Keep the secrets of this pack and bear the responsibility of protecting and guarding its priorities.It had always been the same song. So far I have managed to keep my hands away from the alpha. Even though it pained me, the image of my best friend and answering that Serafina was his new maid broke my heart. and the echoing voice of Patricia insulting and belittling me stomps on my reading broken heart. With a cup of tea in my hand, I climb up the flight of stairs carefully one foot after another. my attention is directed towards the t not taking note of whoever was walking down the stairs. when I feel someone touch my shoulder I bring my eyes upward still careful as to not spill the tea.“Alondra!’’ Sarafina's

Having finally settled the thoughts within me, I collected myself. I knew that I did not have time to rest. I still had a lot of chores to do and the world did not wait for a weeping Woman.With every step I took around my room there was an echo of fractured reality. the reality that my destiny has been robbed from me. That I did not have a chance against the Queen.Coming down the staircase, I found myself finding strength at the thought of today being a different day than yesterday. Because I knew the truth and nothing was hidden from me. because I didn't walk around with so many questions. Because even though ahead of me was nothing but there's, my presence was not surrounded by it. There, standing near the entrance, my stepmother. Her dark eyes shone with an unreadable expression."Alondra," she called out, her voice holding a rare hint of warmth. "May we speak?"I knew that I did not have the patience to be pushed around right now.“ I need to finish my chores today we can talk

“So, have you thought about it?’’ he says, guiding me towards a quiet waterfront. right by the side of the garden.“ There was nothing for me to think about. the both of us did not start on the right foot and I don't believe that can be salvaged. and besides my stepsister is madly in love with…’’“ Your step sister doesn't mean anything to me.’’ he argues.“ That's my step sister you're talking about. I may not get along with her but I can't tolerate you speaking about her like that.’’ My tone is firm and assertive. There is nothing that I want more than escaping this conversation and disappearing into a different world where none of these chaos exists.“ I love you alondra!’’ Looking up at him I can't help but see the face of Weston. For a moment I am filled with sudden happiness that he loves me. watching his lips repeat those words and listen to snap me into reality.He is not Weston. “ What is wrong with me that you don't want me?’’ he asks all of a sudden. I'm taken aback by h

Breathing heavy, fist clenched as I brought one foot in front of another, I looked back and prayed that danger had caught up to me. The moon hung high in the sky, illuminating its glow over-the-water resurface at a distance as I continued running through a dense forest, my heart pounding in my chest. I glanced down, only to realize that I was completely naked. I let out a hushed groan, tripping and falling on a piece of rock that lay on the ground and feeling blood oozing from my ankle. I realized that I was also barefoot. Panic gripped me, a cold sweat drenching my trembling body.I heard footsteps echoing in the distance and I got up on my feet again ignoring the pain in my legs as I continued telling and task entered through the forest. Each step I took was showered with more pain as sharp rocks and prickly branches tore at my skin. The forest seemed endless, a hollow place that swallowed my desperate cries for help. I was desperate and I was losing my mind. I wanted all of this to

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
