Milady!

Elise Pov 

I couldn't tell how long it took, but I woke up with a start. Sweat dripping all over and the creased faces of my mate making me question the impossible. 

" You are awake," Damon said dryly. I ignored his tone and tried to stand up. 

The other two had an unreadable expression on their faces, like I care. I wasn't going to let them manipulate me anymore.

" Yes, I am awake. You all can get out of my room."

I saw a flash of mixed anger and curiosity on their faces, especially Drake. 

" Ungrateful!" Drake's voice tore through the silent chamber, so does the banging of the door the next second. 

Damon stood up too, a smirk playing around his lips. He looked distracted, not the least angered by my words. 

" Seeing you are back to your stubborn self, I guess you are sound enough for your duties. Get ready in an hour to greet the King. The servants will come take care of you..."

I faced Damon as he dished out his command. If he thinks I was going to follow their rules simply because of the sex we had, they must be dreaming!

" I am not obligated to meet anyone, not even the Alpha King. You guys forced me here. This is not my pack and I won't respect your rules," my voice was blunt, with eyes brimming with defiance. 

" Oh..." That was Derek who let out a chuckle. Then he added, licking his lips," Does It mean you only respect our dick?"

Bastard! How could he casually accuse me of that?

" Your dicks are just like any other ones. I could get them anywhere and–"

The temperature in the room dropped rapidly. So rapid that I felt the stinging glare all over my body. I hit their sore spot but I don't care. Anything that would make them hate me and let me go.

The next minute I felt Damon's powerful scent around me. Strangely, the anger that had enveloped the room a while ago had slowly disappeared. Instead, he drew closer cupping my check. 

" I remember we are your first and obviously the last ones too. So, nice try kitten. Get ready in an hour time or watch your pack being invaded," his voice was strangely calm.

I clenched my fist harder, swallowing the anger boiling inside of me. How dare he threaten me with my pack?

Gritting hard, I let out the words." Fine."

Damon nodded," Good. And another thing, the next time you talk about another man or men, one or two of your cities would be invaded. Razed to the ground, kitten."

I couldn't hold my anger anymore. A deafening growl came from me as my claws elongated," You bastard! Don't you dare touch my pack!"

" I won't, if only you keep being a good kitten."

And with that Damon left, with Derek strutting behind. Derek shot me a pitiful look before running behind Damon. 

After the triplets left, my eyes fixed around the room and with a smirk, I began to let out my anger.

" Keiran, let's do this!"

Destroying whatever was destructible. Even the mahogany table wasn't left out. I made sure I trashed out everything in the room until my anger receded. After thirty minutes of thrashing the chamber, I heard a knock on the door and a meek voice from outside.

" Princess, I have come to take you to meet the King-"

" Get the hell out! I don't want to see any of you. Tell those three bastards and the father of the bastard to let me go or I will keep being a nuisance to them!"

" My princess–"

" Leave!!!"

There was silence after my last words. The last thing I wanted to do was pay respect to that monster of a king. I don't care if it was going to piss them off. The agreement was for me to be their mates, not the future Luna or even become a family.

They can have my body but I was determined to make them regret it. I hated them, all of them. 

I hated how they could make my body betray me, how easily I crumbled beneath their touch. But this time, I wasn't going to let them win again.  

I waited patiently for them to barge into my room but slowly the minutes turned into hours. They didn't come, neither did the servants utter any word. Few hours later, servants walked in to arrange the trashed room. 

It became as new as I met it.

The silence as the servants worked was unsettling. They uttered nothing to me, not even a glance. The chamber was suffocating. I needed to move out for fresh air. Ignoring their serious looking face as they arranged the room, I walked towards the wardrobe to get a thick fur to put on.

The wardrobe was filled with clothes, new and trendy. I took just a long fur, enough to cover up to my legs. As I stepped out of the chamber, the servants said nothing. Not even a glance. It was as if they care less of what I wanted to do.

Until a meek voice asked," Princess, what would you have for dinner?"

It was same voice that knocked previously. She looked meek and a little frightened. Beautiful blue eyes, golden locks hair and skin a little wrinkled. 

" Anything," I responded, walking out. 

I don't want to be attached to anyone in this pack. I needed to build a wall around me so I could carry out my mission.

However, I noticed the blue eyed servant was walking behind me. I stopped to look at her, frowning.

" Why are you following me, blue eye?"

She bit her lips nervously," I–I am your personal maid. The princes assigned me to you..."

I snorted. Personal maid or they are afraid I would escape? What can this little maggot do to stop me? She looked too weak and delicate for a servant.

" No need. You can leave..."

Her blue eyes shot up, as if in defiance and for a second or less, I saw something other than weakness in those eyes. 

" You..."

The next instant, I watched her falling on her knees.

The drama. 

"Oh, milady, please! Have mercy! Don't send me away! I'll do anything, just don't drive me away!" She wailed, her voice echoing through the hall.

I raised an eyebrow, trying to maintain a stern expression. "Anything?"

She nodded vigorously, her eyes welling up with tears. "Anything, Milady! I'll scrub the floors with my tongue, I'll eat only gruel for the rest of my life, I'll–"

I held up a hand, interrupting her theatrics. "Gruel? Where are we? The middle age? Please, stop. You're being dramatic."

She sniffled, still on her knees. "I'm sorry, milady! I'll be better, I promise! Just don't send me away! I'll die if I don't serve you!"

I sighed, trying not to laugh. "What's your name?"

She quickly bowed as she replied," Mandy, mi'lady."

" Okay, Mandy. You can stay. Can you stick with calling me princess? Milady makes me look ancient."

Mandy's face lit up, and she scrambled to her feet. "Oh, thank you, milady! Sorry, thank you my princess. I won't let you down! I'll make the most exquisite dishes for you and be at your beck and call, I swear!"

I smiled, amused by her antics. Dishes? 

Mandy curtsied, still sniffling, as she quietly followed me around the garden. I shook my head, chuckling. That girl could give the royal actors a run for their money.

At least there was something amusing in this monstrous pack. Even if Mandy was just a way for the triplets to monitor me. 

" Do you have an idea why the princes didn't come to fetch me?" I asked, suddenly.

" I heard the guards saying they went to invade a few cities."

My heart skipped a beat at her words.

" How long?"

She squinted for a moment, then let out what made me regret my decision. 

" They left exactly an hour after they left the chambers."

The air around me froze. Their threats earlier, it couldn't be right?
