ELIANA’S POV“Who? You mean… Skye?” Liam asked.“Of course, I mean, Skye. What other servant girl could I possibly be talking about,” I replied, slightly irritated by his stupidity.Liam blinked.“But… why?”I sighed and turned away from him, walking towards the settee where my clothes lay strewn.“Wait, Eliana.” I heard the ruffling noise of the bedsheets as he scrambled off of the bed. I had begun putting on my underwear when he grabbed me , hugging me from behind.“Don’t leave yet,” he whispered seductively. I struggled out of his grip and glared at him. “There’s no use staying here if you’re of no use to me.”“I never said I wasn’t going to…” he trailed off. I scoffed, Liam was always too soft.I continued putting my clothes on. “I can’t just kill her, El.”Understanding washed over me. Oh. He thought I wanted her dead.“No Liam, I didn’t mean kill her. Oh my goodness, I’m not so heartless. I just want you to scare her a little bit. Hurt her somehow, I don’t know, just do somethin

SKYE’S POVLiam was Alex’s beta so he had visited the Wilder Manor countless times when we were kids up until the fight they had. Liam and I had never been particularly close but I remembered playing with him sometimes as kids.“Skye?” He asked looking perplexed. “What are you doing here?”“You know these people, cousin?” Lady Nova asked.“Yes… I do.” He said slowly, looking away from me to his cousin and the older man.“Uncle? What’s going on?”“These two claim to be innocent, despite being caught spying on my daughter while she was out in the forest!” The man accused us.I was certain that I would get a headache from all this unnecessary back-and-forth.“Did Nova claim that she was being spied on?” Liam asked calmly.“’Claim’?” Nova exclaimed. “They really were spying.”“What are you insinuating, Liam?” His uncle asked.“What I’m trying to say is that Nova has a tendency to be dramatic sometimes and you know that, Uncle. And now, she’s accusing an two innocents of spying.”“What mak

ALEX’S POVEliana had always been a little crazy. She had the tendency to have strange outbursts whenever she didn’t get her way or when she was jealous but never in a million years would I have imagined that the sweet and reserved Eliana would aim a dagger at me.I struggled to control my growing anger as I reached up to my face to touch the bruise left by the dagger’s edge. When I saw blood on my fingers, my mind clouded with rage.“How dare you?” I said with icy calm.“How dare you, Alex? How dare you!?” She yelled. “Do you think I’m a fool? You think you can two-time me and a useless laundry maid?” She scoffed. “I can’t believe this.” She said, taking a step back and dropping on the bed.“Get out.”She snapped her head to look at me.“What did you just say?” She sounded more confused than shocked.“I said, Get out.” I was still struggling to keep myself from doing something that I would regret. She recoiled sharply, my words must’ve stung.The hurt on her face morphed into amuseme

SKYE’S POVI resisted the urge to groan out loud.“Who’s there?” She repeated, her footsteps closer to the brush now. I looked at James, not knowing what to do. We heard the rustle of leaves and branches as she parted the brush. James turned around and said, “My lady, we’re a travelling couple who are lost, do you know the way to the tow– ?“Don’t give me that,” she said curtly. She narrowed her eyes at the both of us. “You both were spying on me”“No, no. We definitely weren’t sp – ““Lucius!” She screamed like a spoilt princess, screaming for ice-cream. We heard large thuds on the ground as the man named Lucius emerged from the clearing behind the brush.Where did he even come from?“Yes, Lady Nova.” The tall hefty man said.“These two were standing behind this brush, spying on me.” She said, pointing at us.“No ma’am, we weren’t…”“How dare you talk back to the mistress?” Lucius bellowed and immediately grabbed James’ hands and locked them behind him, tying them with a rope that he

SKYE’S POV “What am I doing?” Gale asked incredulously, letting go of Alex’s collar “What are you doing with this scum?”“I would appreciate it if you minded your business, Alpha Gale.” I replied coldly.Alex snickered. He shrugged his collar where Alpha Gale had held him, and walked away.Gale scoffed, a nerve jerking in his jaw. Suddenly he grabbed my hand and pushed me into my room, locking the door behind us.“Have you gone mad?” I screamed at him.“Yes! Completely mad. I can’t believe you slept with him after what he did to you.”I was suddenly really conscious of the fact that I was alone in this room with a man as unpredictable as Alpha Gale. “A-Alpha Gale? You have no right to be in my room, right now. Please open the door.” I said, a little nervous.“No.” He said coldly.“Stop treating me like I’m one of your pack members. This isn’t Shadowfen, you are not my Alpha.”“But I am your mate, and you dare disrespect me…”“So you claim! You condescend me, calling me a slave and t

SKYE’S POVAlex was right there in the dimly lit hallway. His golden orbs glowed as he displayed his dominance making Amy and Nelly to immediately cower and drop to their knees.“Forgive us, Heir Alpha.”An alpha wolf had the ability to dominate the members of his pack by using his superior energy to supersede theirs and that was exactly what he was doing. Interestingly enough, I had never experienced being dominated like that, perhaps it’s because I had never gotten under the bad books of my superiors.“Get lost.” He ordered and they immediately scampered off. He looked at me now and I couldn’t help but break a little inside. He walked over and helped me up.“You okay?” He said, concern evident in his voice. “Yeah.” I croaked, struggling with the emotions I was feeling. I hadn’t been in this close proximity with him since he rejected me and now, my emotions were all over the place.“Skye, I…” He began but paused. “Can we talk in private?”I glanced around. There was no one around, t
