Ashley/Olivia's POVI woke up to stinging pain in my stomach. "Ouch!" I yelled. "Stop whining like a child. Can't you endure a little bit of hunger and why didn't you pack things we would need properly?""Aren't you hungry? Stop saying it like I am a weak human in this form. I just didn't have enough to eat before I slept so I am a bit hungry this morning.""Were you feeling guilty about leaving Lance and you did not even pack enough food for us? Gosh! This is bad! What did I do to deserve this from my mother half? She's starving me. Don't tell me you were also thinking about Lance all through the night and you didn't sleep.""You! Is this now a one sided blame? Were you thinking about Martains because you don't feel any mate bond with Lance? Stop whining and nagging like a child. Let's look for something to eat.""Hmph! You always find a way to counter me. I don't know why you brought Martains into the picture. Now you speak on him, don't you think you should be a lot more considerat
Ashley/Olivia's POVI ended up in a stream and across the stream was an inhabited land. It was not Oakstone but somewhere close to Oakstone.Now, the problem was that I did not know how to get across and pass by without having to pass within the land.On the map, I had to pass inside to get through to Oakstone and that meant crossing their territory."Should I charge forward? How exactly do I pass through? I do not want to be mistaken for a rogue." I thought deeply, trying to figure out a way to overcome this obstacle.I could tell Lola wanted me to just charge forward as she was pacing about in my head."We can't charge forward rashly. We are on another man's land." I stood behind a tree before the stream watching the view of the land when I heard the sound of a broken branch.I turned around swiftly to duck from whatever was coming my way and then catch a glimpse of it later."Another rogue?" I held my breath thinking it was a crazy rogue that was lurking around. It was too late
Ashley/Olivia's POV"Does he know something else about me? Has he seen me in Silver Tail?" My mind brought a lot of possibilities of questions but I managed to maintain my composure in front of me him without looking shocked or taken aback with surprise."There is nothing more to know that what I have told you, sir. I am a lone wolf and my name is Emily." I repeated, stressing the words for him to hear."I know. I heard that. I just could not help but ask because I felt attracted to you and I do not know the reason. Please don't think of this negatively. The kind of attraction I sensed is one of pack membership.""By any chance, do you have anyone who comes from any of the pack in Oakstone?"I felt relieved to hear that he had not seen me anywhere before. It was just his hunches giving him a sense of likeness as related pack members between the both of us."Is that part of the reason you decided to help me?" I asked, connecting the line on why he would easily decide to help a stranger
Ashley/ Olivia's POV"Are you up now?" Ray asked me as I opened the door."What time is it? I am sorry I slept over. James said he would prepare breakfast for me but I did not know when I slept off or when he left." I said to him."It's fine. Come down to eat. The whole family is around now and so you should come down and meet them.""Okay. I will just wash my sleepy eyes and come down in a bit." I washed my face which was still looking drowsy from sleep and hurried down to meet the other members of the family."Oh dear, look at you! You look so tired. I would have sent a servant to bring your food up to your room instead of you coming down if I knew you were this fatigued. The tiredness is written all over your face." a feminine voice said immediately I stepped into the room. I scanned the room and they were about eight people minus I and Ray who came to call me.The lady, no, woman who spoke looked really young but I could tell at once that she was the commander's mate. She look
Ashley/Olivia's POV"The Luna just informed me that she needs some personal maids for the alpha. She does not like the other set so she dismissed them. Fortunately you are here now and I can't find any other place to fix you in but there. You will be working as one of the alpha's personal maid." the elderly woman who Erica had referred to as the head of the house affairs, said. "Me? I question, looking at both of them in doubt."Yes, you. Is there anything wrong? Or don't you want to work?""No,no, I did not mean that. I'm just a little bit startled as I'll be walking directly for the Alpha."Raising a brow, she eyed me before giving me a warning, "Don't go beyond your boundaries. Behave yourself. I do not want to hear any complain. If I do hear just one complain, you will be dismissed. Do you understand?""Yes ma.""Erica would show you to your room. She has explained your situation to me and that you need somewhere to stay so you'll be living in one of the rooms in the servants' q
Martains's POV"You are here already." I said as I saw beta Carl come in."Yes. I just saw your Luna downstairs. Did she come here?" Carl asked, looking over at me skeptically."Yes, she came to see me." I replied him."Why? That is unusual. What did she come to do?""Nothing. I said she came to see me. Is there any other thing you should know?""Well, I was just surprised, alpha. She has never been fit for the position you put her so..." The steely look in my eyes made him refrain and change the subject."The alpha wanted to see you but since he could not come, he asked me to relay his message.""Father? What did he say?" I asked."Well, em..er..""Why is your tongue failing you to speak? Do you have some speech disorder now? Or is the message too difficult to pass across, beta Carl?" I said, my words laced with sarcasm. Squinting his eyes from side to side, he said, "Should I say it or write it down instead?""Say it. There is nobody in here except for you and me so why are you be
Alpha Martains's POV"Please can you put on your clothes, alpha? You should not be like this in front of any lady except the luna." the maid said as she stepped back and bowed her head quickly after regaining her composure."This is my room and so I can be naked. Why should you tell me what to do? I asked you why your are here instead and you dare question me without answering." I said to her through gritted teeth."The luna only told me to come arrange your beddings that I washed in your room. I did not know you were in. I would take my leave now." she said and Rose from her bowing position to leaves."Where do you think you are going to? Have I asked you to leave." I asked, irritated by her stiff attitudes and lack of respect towards me.If she was a maid, she would have been on her knees begging and apologizing for me to spare her life but she dated speak as if she was my advisor or someone close to me and not just a mere servant."Are you one of these servants?""Yes, alpha.""You
Ashley/Olivia's POVI thought carrying the foodstuffs as Luciana ordered would be the end. I did not know I would have to go to the house to do some laundry.Gosh! I can't believe that this is how being a maid feels like. I wish I could find some other ways other than being a maid.In all this, I still had to face Martains. I have not even done anything and he kept staring at me at the table.When she sent me to go to his room, I went there reluctantly. I thought he was not in but I was surprised and angry to see him.I only managed to suppress my tone and the manner I spoke to him which should be that of a subordinate. I guess he must have noticed the way I spoke differently.It was quiet late and I knew the commander and his wife would be expecting me home. It was late in the night already.I walked back to the house. The commander's wife ran up to meet me when she saw me approaching the door."Where have you been darling? Did you get lost and couldn't find your way home?""I am sor
