CLAIR POV My knees hit the kitchen tile before I decided to let them. The cold bit through my uniform, but it was nothing compared to the ache clawing up my throat. I did not even try to stop the sound that came out. It was ugly, and I let the tears fall.I thought I would be free. I thought that giving myself a night to be claimed meant I mattered to him, and that it would be enough to hold me together. But I was wrong. Now I was on the floor of a house that I did not belong in, sobbing like the girl I promised I would not be again. I wiped my face with the sleeve of my uniform, urging myself to stop. Stop being a crybaby and take full responsibility for my stupidity.Sebastian King did not get to live in my head anymore. Nor did he get to live in my chest either. I was a maid, a debtor. That was why I was here. And that was all I was allowed to be. I forced myself up. My legs wobbled like there was no life left in them, and I straightened my spine. Duty should come first

SEBASTIAN POV The words hit me low in my gut. “I want you Sebastian, I really do.” Her voice was tight, broken, like she was tearing something out of herself just to say it. Her hands were already moving, trembling as they mapped the line of my jaw, down to my throat, and over the hard line of my chest. She touched me like I was something sacred and something she’d been starved for. God, how I wanted to tear the room apart. But I saw it in her eyes, fear. Certainly not of me. But of what I made her feel, of losing herself completely to this, to wha we had going on.“I know you don’t trust me,” I said, my voice rougher than I meant it to be. My forehead rested against hers. But how could she? I have hurt and ruin her times without numbers.“But say it. Say you’ll be mine after this. No more running. No more half measures.” She swallowed hard. Her fingers dug into my shoulders, like a last warning to herself. “I never want to belong to anyone else but you,” she whispered.

CLAIR POV I don’t want to cry even though it’s overwhelming, but my heart won’t listen, it beats so hard I thought I was going to die. "You dare mess around with the Alpha” The deep, mocking tone rang. The head maid, I have gotten so familiar with that authoritative voice laced with superiority and experience. But I only stare, angry beyond words to dare open my mouth and speak, of the pain of wanting something that’s so abominable yet so pleasing. “Don’t be fooled by the Alpha gentleness, he’s only after your blood” And that I almost agreed, and only if I was so bold, I would scream at the top of my voice and tell her she is right after all. “Crazy human” She groans in annoyance and left the room, her irritation was so evident, I could swear I felt trapped but somehow, I was at peace, and maybe, just maybe it has to do with his presence. “Get yourself together Clair, we have to prepare the elders banquet” The head maid said aloud, but this time her voice was so gentle and

SEBASTIAN POV Clair had refused to let her mother stay in my castle. She called it a "painful sight," and I couldn’t argue. She was right. Theresa, her mother, could finally walk now. And after too many arguments and agreements with Clair, I had secured a mansion for her, close enough, yet far enough that my family wouldn’t sniff it out.It had been almost a month since I last saw her. Clair, my sweet agony. And every time I thought of her rejection, my wolf snarled and paced beneath my skin like a caged animal. “He better shred her into pieces,” a low voice muttered the moment I stepped into the hall. Nuel heard it too. He stopped in his tracks immediately, his shoulders tensed, waiting for my next move. My people were obviously never subtle when they hated something they couldn’t control. Then came the worst sound of all. Clair’s voice. Small, sharp, and laced with fear she tried too hard to hide, crawling in my head. But beneath it was something else. Something I knew too we

“You lowly human “The loud growl called, and Caro walked towards me, the head maid stuck to her side, their look were condemnation, bitterness and vengeance.“You’re a maid, that’s why you’re here. Yo serve us”She said spiteful again, but I look away to the other side, forming strong and pretending I didn’t really miss the protectiveness of Sebastian, his scents and aura and the sweet feelings of being loved by him.But this is my fight, what I chose, he had been so furious with me when he eventually had my mum back from Beijing, strong and walking and like I was cursed to always reject him, I told him I would rather die than be his woman, and when he asked me to pick once again, I picked this, as if my fate was punishing me.“After you are done scrubbing here, get yourself prepared, you’re cleaning the old wolf upstairs “The head maid said, her tone was scary, the old wolf was the Alpha before his wounds and ever since he’d been sick, his rage is what everyone avoided, and no one

SEBASTIAN POVNuel leaned against the stone pillar outside the balcony, his arms crossed, and that familiar taunting smirk played on his lips like he owned me and the entire place, After all, I had known him since our first shift together. He is my Beta. My brother. The only wolf in this territory who could whine and taunt an Alpha to his face and still walk away breathing. “You’ve been her guard since dawn,” he said, his voice pitched low enough that only I could hear it over the wind. His eyes cut to the back window, where she was, then back to me. “She has got herself a dangerous duo as an enemy and I hope she survives it.” I stopped walking. My boots went silent against the stone. The smirk on his face did not reach his eyes. He was teasing me He always does but today wasn’t just right.My jaw tightened until I felt my teeth ache. The air around us dropped to a degree, heavy with warning, and thick with the scent of my wolf pushing close to the surface. “Clair’s welfare is n
