~ODETTE

Gaius kept peering at me from the rearview mirror as I sat at the backseat.

My wolf stirred one more time when I couldn't bring myself to ignore him anymore.

"If you have something to say, just say it."

He blinked hard, surprised that he had been caught before clearing his throat.

"I— it's just that I am becoming fascinated by you, my Lady."

I furrowed my brows at him. "How so?"

He looked hard at me this time through the mirror without breaking away.

  • Claimed by my Ex's Ruthless Uncle   21. BUILDING HER OWN

    ~ODETTE"This is terrible. It's all a set up!" Clara cried. Yet I remained calm as I tried to think straight. There had to be another solution. It was crucial not to screw up badly tonight because even the Alpha King could be present. The last time I saw him was at the wedding and he never showed up again for any other thing. I messed things up tonight, then my hopes and plans for revenge will be destroyed."Lady Layla clearly never wanted you to win. The only way I can help is try to tell you from memory how these people are supposed to sit. The seating arrangement is the most crucial part of this function or everything could go south!" Clara blurted out. I shut my eyes as I felt my wolf begin to stir with panic within me. My fingers started trembling slightly but I forced myself to think. Suddenly, an idea popped in my head. "I know what to do," I whispered as my eyes slowly came open. Clara widened her eyes at me. "What?" "I am going to change everything and do it my way."

  • Claimed by my Ex's Ruthless Uncle   20. SABOTAGED FILES

    ~ODETTEI kept my fierce glare on Layla's handmaiden.She was trembling visibly by now. That fear was exactly what I was expecting from her. So next time, she would think twice before she thought of repeating this mistake.In the end, she dropped to her knees and began to pack up the papers that had fallen. When it was done, she slowly rose and presented the file to me with her head bowed. "My Lady, here is the file sent to you by Lady Layla," she whispered shakily. I refused to take the file from her. I turned to Clara and the woman understood the assignment. She yanked the file away from her. "Get lost," I muttered softly yet firmly. The maid bowed once again before rushing off like she had seen a plague. "Serves Bever right, she's always acting so arrogant," Clara said after her. I sighed heavily and looked down at the file now in Clara's hands. This was supposed to contain what I needed to run this soiree on my own. I could do this. I just needed to believe I was capable.

  • Claimed by my Ex's Ruthless Uncle   19. THE GAME IS ON

    ~ODETTEFirst, she made me cook for my sister, treated me like nothing but a maid. Now, she was making me serve my sister on a bigger scale. This was not just about serving my sister publicly; it was about telling the world that despite being the only surviving bride of the Demon Rafael, I was nothing. It was about sabotaging me before all eyes such that I was made out to be nothing but the helpless girl who once served her sister and will continue to till the day I die. It was about destroying me completely with society as her greatest tool. I smiled. "As you wish, Layla." Our audience began to murmur. They stared daggers at me. Others began to mock me. "Nothing but a maid. . ." "She was only made to serve. . ." "Here I was, thinking that she was some big deal. . ."I gritted my teeth and forced myself to be calm. There was no reason to lose composure over this. If a little humiliation had to come my way to get my mother her revenge, then I was so ready for it. Layla proba

    ~ODETTERafael never came back home last night. I didn't know whether it was a good thing for me or a bad thing. I decided not to dwell on it and focus more on what awaited me today. Last night, I had made my move on Layla and Camille. I had humiliated them by turning the tables around on them.I knew they knew I was behind it and I wasn't planning on denying it. I also knew that they were probably planning their revenge on me already. So I sighed and got out of bed. "If I can survive two nights as the bride of the demon Rafael then I can survive anything. The Skull Palace can try as they may, they will never be able to stop me." I walked into the bathroom, got cleaned up and chose a long dark blue dress. The blue stood for royalty. The moment I walked out my door, Clara was already standing there. "Don't you have work to do?" I asked the head maid as I raised my brows at her. "I came to warn you. Lady Layla and the future Wolf Queen are both planning something against you,"

  • Claimed by my Ex's Ruthless Uncle   17. THE HUMILIATION

    ~ODETTEShe had asked me to get food ready by seven. It was five right now. I had only two hours to get it done. So I walked straight to the kitchen only to find it completely empty. "Where are all the maids?" I walked back out, hoping to catch one when I spotted Clara standing outside. "What's going on? Where is everyone?" I asked. She kept her head down. "Lady Layla ordered all the maids to stay away from the kitchen." I scoffed. Of course she would do something like this just to make things difficult for me. "So why are you here? Aren't you afraid of her punishment?" I asked as I folded my arms at Clara. "Ever since I have been working here, I haven't seen anyone to bet my life and trust on until the day you walked through those doors," Clara revealed. "Something is terribly wrong with this palace and the people. If there's anyone who can make a difference, then I believe that person is you." I did not know how to react to her words. I was flabbergasted. All I could do w

"You have survived the demon not only once but twice already and this last time, you left him feeling confused." I swallowed hard. So that kiss had really affected Rafael. . .All I knew was that I kissed him despite my mind screaming at me that it was madness. And when he eventually pulled away, the red glow in his eyes were gone and they had gone back to their usual green. He had acted weird right after and hurried off. That had been a huge gamble. Yet it worked. I sighed heavily. "Let's hope my luck doesn't run out

    ~RAFAELThe moment her lips touched mine. . .The world went still. The voices in my head went silent. I felt it deep within my subconscious even if I was not the one in control. The silence was loud, so loud that it shook me to the core.The demon faltered. I felt his hold on me weakening. I

    ~ODETTEMy eyes grew wider than before. My heart began to pound loudly against my chest. It was not a good idea to be in the same room as the demon when it came out to play. Yet I could not leave because I had signed myself up for this. I had agreed to be in here despite all the dangers and I co

    ~ODETTEInside the cell was quite cold.I didn't expect the temperature to drop drastically. I looked up at Rafael and I could see the excitement on his face growing even greater than before. He was enjoying this way too much and he had barely even started. I finally looked before me and that wa

    ~ODETTEThe towering structure of Fortress Valaris came into view as we neared the gates. The fortress looked dark and intimidating. It was a place where only screams of agony floated out. It looked like a place of despair and I doubted if laughter ever gets to exist within those walls. The dark
