~Brielle
It was Mabel who spoke first. Eventually.
The silence that fell after the scream left us all chilled right to the bone. Mabel shakily smiled, which was proof enough that this wasn’t her doing. She wasn’t trying to frighten us. From upstairs, someone had screamed, in need of help. Yet none of us could move.
“Okay, that’s a bit strange,” Mabel says, followed by a breathy laugh. Girls around me exchange glances, skin pale, eyes widened. “Should probably go have a look shouldn’t we?”
Most girls called Mabel stupid for wanting to go investigate. I offered to go with her while they cowered in a corner. If there is a chance to save wh

~BrielleInitially, the new job was not that impressive.For the first few weeks, no one came to the estate. I didn’t even see Ren, who had become seemingly elusive recently. A lot of the staff began to wonder if he was even occupying this residence much anymore. It left me with nothing more to do but to make sure staff coming in from the docks were managed okay.At least I’m getting paid well. Which means I shouldn’t have to be here too much longer to get money. Then I can escape.I was surprised when Rose, the first person to accept into this place, approached me with my next set of work. These past few days I’ve spent in a side office close to the main door, in c

~BrielleThe Alpha’s didn’t start arriving for another four hours after Ren left me.Most of that time I spent hurrying around, trying to ensure everything is running smoothly. Almost everyone that I talked to is as nervous as I am. Even Mabel, who won’t be seeing the Alpha’s in person. Just the idea of them being in the same building as her has left her almost useless to Ambrose, who has failed to calm her down when she realised she would be in charge of cleaning the Alpha’s linen when they were done with it.Others are simply struck by the fact that Ren is having guests. It’s an event that is unheard of to those who have worked here many years. Nevertheless, an excited buzz prevails.

~BrielleNot long after I had left, the Alpha’s started up to their rooms for the night.The moment their doors closed, their air in the room cleared, and there wasn’t so many girls running around as if their heads were cut off. Even Mabel calmed down, allowed to head to sleep since her duties didn’t require her until morning. I, however, wasn’t going anywhere. I’m in charge of these girls, and I can’t have a single on of them slack off.I didn’t catch sight of Ren while I was wandering around, checking that not a single thing was out of place. He must have went back to his quarters also, since it’s getting late. It caught us all by surprise, though, that he cut his meeting off so abruptly.

~BrielleI have no idea how to react.This isn’t my Alpha. This isn’t Ren. His gaze is too sharp, his expression too sinister. I can’t escape his grip until mercilessly, he pushes away, giving me space to breathe and think through what is happening. Something is up with Ren, whether it’s a night terror or another unexplainableRecovering myself, I pretend I didn’t hear him claim I belong to him. “I’m going to get back and leave you to it.”For once, Ren doesn’t look as if he wants to stop me. I watch him carefully, waiting for him to say anymore and intervene. When he doesn’t I sm

~BrielleI can’t tell if Noah is being helpful, or warning me.He looks deadly serious, the expression of amusement and curiosity now long vanished. I have a feeling that if I retaliate, and do the opposite of his advice, I might see another side of Noah that I don’t want to. All he has done is confirm in my mind that Ren is hiding something from us all. And I want to find out what it is.“Shouldn’t it be considered unfair that my boss is hiding something from his staff?” I question, hoping he would feel so kind of sympathy for me. “Especially for me, being in a higher position in his staff roster.”Noah shrugs, opening the fridge to pull out a chilled b

~BrielleMabel’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.
