~Brielle
Mabel’s words didn’t leave my mind.
I met Ren near the front door, ready for my tour around the grounds. Within me is a mix of excitement to see the island I have stared at from the docks on the mainland since I was a child, but also nervous. That’s Mabel’s fault, feeding me thoughts about Ren that I know aren’t true.
I should be concentrating on Ren’s secret, and finding out what I can about it. Not wondering whether he sees me differently from all his other staff. As far as I’ve noticed, he couldn’t care less about me.
He even forgot my name. And his excuse for that was rather questionable, and I still have to consider how tr

~BrielleI was asked to stand in while the Alpha’s ate dinner.It wasn’t Ren who asked, instead being a girl who caught a sickness and needed me to be there to tend to the Alpha’s. The moment I stepped in I felt as though I was breaking many rules, however, no one questioned me. Ren wasn’t there when I entered, so I cast my gaze to the floor and hoped nobody would notice.At first, it was only four Alpha’s sitting in. Malik, who had come across Ren and I early leans casually back in his seat. His eyes are on me, but I keep my gaze pinned to the floor, mortified.He didn’t tell anyone, did he? I have to admit, Ren has been giving me a strange amount

~RenI’ve never been so intimidated.There isn’t a single person in this room who doesn’t have their eyes on me. If I didn’t care about my job so much, and didn’t want to get on the bad side of Ren, I wouldn’t have stepped toward him. In fact, I probably would have run out of the room to cower back in the sleeping area, refusing to speak to anyone until the next day.However, my feet step on in front of the other, coming to stand beside Ren. My cheeks are heated beyond belief, and the hands I hide behind my back are quivering. Hopefully no one is noticing.Ren looks up at me, that cool icy blue eye on the left side is unnerving as ever.

~BrielleThis is a bad idea.I’m not sure why these girls think they are going to get away with this. Naturally, Mabel found out only moments after we decided to leave, and joined along too. So it was myself, Mabel, Lila and two other girls whose names I don’t remember that snuck from the servants sleeping quarters and into the hallways that leads all throughout Ren’s estate.Lila stops us once we were out, managing to not get caught past the first threshold. “Okay, where are we going to first?”Folding my arms uncomfortably, I don’t add in my say. As much as I want to turn around to avoid seeking trouble, I won’t be able to sleep knowing they are wander

~BrielleEveryone reacted immediately.Lila backed off into the bedroom, Mabel slid into the closet and I didn’t see what the other two girls did as I quickly dashed behind a long curtain, wrapping it around my body, pressing myself against the wall. Oddly enough, there’s no window here, meaning this curtain is clearly here for decoration.As everyone settled into their spot, the sound of heavy footsteps coming down the stairs had my heartrate accelerating to almost an unhealthy rate. Clinging to the curtain, I close my eyes and pray whoever is walking down here doesn’t feel the need to draw their curtains.I’m not sure where everyone else hid, but there is no

~BrielleA few days passed. Nothing changed.Everyone was solemn with Charlie missing. The entire sect of servants had naturally figured out she was missing by the next day, and as the week went by, they assumed she had snuck away at night for the mainland. None of us spoke about our night escapade to anyone else. So the secret of what might be Charlie’s fate is between us only.Over the week, as she failed to come to her bed every night, the weight on my shoulders increased. Lila has hardly spoken all week and Esme has avoided us all. Mabel is already plotting to back into the basement to find her.The rest of us couldn’t agree on that.

~BrielleI’m out of bed in less than a second.Charlie buckled to her knees crying out, the sound rousing a few of the girls sleeping around me. Lila included. I stumble over to her, stepping over sleeping heads and mussed beds. When I grab for her, my hands draw back covered in blood. Thick, dark blood still seeping from claw like cuts along her arms. It makes my stomach turn for a moment.“Are you okay?” I question, pulling her hair from her face gently. Her hair is coated with blood, and through it, I can see what looks like spots where hair has been ripped from her scalp. I swallow uncomfortably. What happened to her?She doesn’t say anything, blood dripping pas

~Brielle I’ve never been so afraid of Ren until this moment. When we were stuck down at the bottom of his basement, listening in to a conversation we shouldn’t have, I wasn’t as afraid as I am. Whatever had possessed Ren that night hadn’t noticed us. Now here I am, locked in a small room with Ren, completely at his mercy. And with the look on his face, I don’t think he’s very happy. Slowly, I step away from the door, obeying his commands. I’m not about to get on the bad side of my Alpha. My fate might be similar to Charlie’s, or I’ll be kicked off this island with no quite enough money to escape this Pack. Ren doesn’t move, sitting behind his desk, watching me as I take my seat back where I was. His gaze is hot and unrelenting. I’m truly dead. “I’m not done talking about this,” Ren says slowly, as if he’s assuming I’m too foolish to understand. Or maybe he is worried I’m going to make a run for it. I’m considering it. “It is important for me to know everything that you do. I’m n
