Ariel was a bit surprised, as to why they were being called into the corridor again because the head had told them three days ago that they would not be called to the corridor any more.They were always called into the corridor for only two things. One, to inspect them carefully for any form of sicknesses or if they were in any bad state, and the second one, was to make sure that all the slaves were still around and no one had run away.They had been doing this for a while, but Ariel didn't know why she felt weird today. She felt like going into the corridor was going to put her into some trouble or as if something bad was going to happen to her.The only time something bad had happened when they went to the corridor, was when one of her fellow slaves, Emma, was pregnant; she didn't know about it, until they went for their normal inspection.Ariel could still hear her screams as she was being dragged away. She shivered as the memory creeped back into her head.She looked around, and sh
Zane~His body arched from pains continuously and he could not help it. He knew what was going on and happening. The mate bond between him and Ariel is making him feel all the pains she’s feeling, making it hard for him to concentrate on his business trip. He decided to put a call through to Courtney.Courtney picked at the first ring. Not like she dare make screen his call or make it ring twice.“I’d be coming home soon” he said over the phone and dropped the call, not giving her a chance to reply. Who cares about her opinion?Alex, his better who has been wondering what was going on. They had postponed a lot of their meetings with their business partners due to Damien’s lack of ability to concentrate. They even lot some of the great deals. Curiosity got the best part of him so he asked, “What’s going on?’“Start packing, we’re leaving’ was all he got as a reply. Alex wasn’t surprised, he knows the Alpha well ******The maids in the kitchen all erupted in hysterical laughter, laughin
Every delicacy was laid on the table, and they were arranged so beautifully that merely staring at it would make you feel hungry all over again.Ranging from veggie meals—to non veggie meals. Everything was on the table, and it was so mouthwatering, that even the head maid, Courtney, couldn’t believe that it could ever look so beautiful.The maids in the corridor could only lick their lips in salivation, they all wanted the food, but they couldn’t have it, and they could only dream of having the leftovers. Staring at the food, they held onto their stomachs, their stomachs were rumbling now, as they were presently starving from having to stare at such magnificence in front of them.“I wish I was a royal one,” one of the maids told another.“If your reason for wanting to be royal is the same as mine… trust me… You’re not wrong,” she replied, and they continued standing there.Other maids were also discussing how they wished they were given the chance to have a taste of the delicacies, bu
After catching her gaze, Damien then walked straight towards Ariel. His eyes now carefully fixed on her. He entirely ignored Elle, who had been trying to report all manner of slander against Ariel.He intended to punish her for staring at them and out of her place. When he got closer to Ariel, the only punishment that went through his mind at that moment for her, was the usual humiliating and torturing mistreatments he always gave her in public. But, as he stopped in front of her, Elle rushed, clinging back to him as she kept telling her lies.“Can you believe this wretched peasant had the audacity to hit me on my face yesterday, only because I was trying to correct her? What sort of maid is she anyway!” Elle screamed into Damien’s ears.“She did?” Damien quickly inquired from Elle, who clung to his shoulders, following each step he took. Without looking towards her direction, his eyes remained fixed only on Ariel.Ariel, who seemed surprised now by the accusations tagged to her name,
As if he was thinking otherwise, he shook his head sideways and went to the gathering hall. Elle like a pet followed blindly . Ariel hissed repeatedly. At least, the torture was over for now.That was a good thing, even though she knew it would be short-lived. She tried to stand up, but her legs had gone soft due to the fear from earlier, so she wobbled and fell back on her butt with a thud.She groaned with pain, but she knew that the longer she stayed here, the more danger she was in.Furthermore, she gritted her teeth and, after much effort, pushed herself to stand on her two feet.Her leg was still shaky, but she pushed on and began walking away.She had just stepped past the threshold when she was dragged in another direction harshly.From the whiff of sandalwood coming from the person, she already knew that it was Courtney, the head maid.“Come with me, bitch! You have been assigned to wash the dishes!” She stated as she continued to pull Ariel towards the kitchen roughly.Ariel
Damien stood under the scorching sun whilst brimming with intense rage. He had been waiting for Ariel for over an hour outside now, and hoped that she would be out before he was done with exchanging goodbyes with Ella, but that didn’t happen.Instead, she didn’t show up. She didn’t even try to send out words to her train for not showing up.In sizzling anger, he dumped the files in his hand on a pavement, and decided that he would go meet her up himself, since she had refused to come downstairs.To him, she was a pompous girl who liked to have everything the way she wanted, but right now, he wouldn’t hesitate to put her in her place. He wasn't fine with her offences!Muttering several cuss words under his breath, he stormed angrily into her room, ready to hit her, and almost breaking the doorknob when he suddenly took in the sight in front of him.He froze in his steps when he saw her small frame looking all ghastly, and sprawled on the cold floor with a bright scarlet liquid which was
“It was Elle,” Ariel said, looking at Alpha Damien.Immediately he heard the name Elle from Ariel's mouth, he turned furious and his eyes bloodshot red, he looked like a monster who was about to devour his victim.“What did you just say?” He asked her, looking so angry.“I said it was Elle,” Ariel replied to him.She was not expecting what was about to happen, as she suddenly felt a hard slap on her face. She held her face and looked at Alpha Damien, who had just slapped her. Not only that, but she was so shocked, as she wondered what she had done to warrant such action from him.Then, she realised that she had just told him that Elle was the one responsible for her condition, but even at that, how was it her fault that Elle hit her resulting in her unconsciousness?Not only that, but why was he attacking her for merely being a victim when Elle was his girlfriend, and she was just a mere slave? It was obvious that Damien would take the side of Elle, even if she was at fault.Alpha Dami
Ariel left the bathroom, and went to her room to cry, the tears just kept on coming and coming. This time, she couldn't stop her mind from bringing those intrusive thoughts to her, and they just made everything worse, and it hurt her a lot.She missed her mother and her father and her freedom. She wanted to go home, to her happy place. Her wolf also needed to be free, she was tired of being hurt all the time. She was tired of being a punching bag to everyone in the pack. She hated this pack, she hated her pack, she hated Damien, she hated her life.She must have stayed a good hour bawling out her eyes, before she heard the door to her room open.Her breath immediately hitched, and she stopped sobbing because she knew who it was. Damien. She could never make mistakes with that scent, regardless of what happened or where she was.She wondered why he was here, she didn't want him to catch her crying before he punished her further. She willed her tears to stop flowing, as she closed the d
