Emma’s POV“Are you okay?” I heard Grace ask as soon as I entered the room and I sighed. “I am fine” I replied and moved closer to me accessing my body, her brow furrows as she sees the ugly marks on my body“What happened? You were flogged, I heard from other slaves that the alpha saved you and Miss Josephine was arrested” Grace said, looking scared and I smiled sadly. “Everything is fine, and I am fine, you shouldn’t bother yourself too much. I would love to go and change my clothes” I said, and she opened her mouth to argue, but she closed it right back. “Okay,” she said, and I walked away from her, I got a new pair of clothes and went to the bathroom to take my bath before changing into something clean.***A few days passed after the incident and I noticed the other slaves did not want to associate with me that much, I didn’t mind though, since I have Grace who is always ready to be with me at any time, I am so grateful to have someone like her. “I heard Miss Josephine and Na
Lana’s POVAnger! Hatred! Envy! Every negative emotion that exists flows through me as my thoughts are clouded by the fact that Aloha Lucas mentioned her name while making love to me, hearing her name alone brings nothing but anger, and it left me seething, I wish nothing but to grasp her neck in between my ten fingers and choke her to death. I hear the murmurs in the palace, and I am not happy about it, I definitely don’t want alpha Lucas giving his attention to someone else apart from me. “Did you hear…” I heard the slave said, and I strained my head immediately, I tiptoed closer to where I heard the voice and I saw about three of them gathered together “Hear what?” The other one asked.“Emma was pushed down the steps, she got terribly injured and got her feet bone fractured,” the first one said “I thought she dislocated the bone?” the third one said “I am not sure,” the first one said, shrugging “Well she deserved it”“The alpha has slept with each of us but no one heard about
Lana pov : The maid who was in charge of my wardrobe came out of the closet with another lacy night dress. This time it was black and very revealing, with enough leather and straps around the arms and thighs to choke a mule. Kinky style, just the way Lucas liked it.She held it up to my face and smiled. "The alpha should like this." She said."And how would you know what the alpha would like?" I snapped at her and the maid's smile faded. She averted her eyes and dropped the night dress on the bed where I sat.She probably knew what the alpha would want, since he'd been sleeping with everything in a skirt around the palace. He'd probably slept with her too.I sighed and closed my eyes. That statement towards the maid was uncalled for. I sounded like a sulking, immature wife who was losing her grip on her husband. It was pathetic, and I didn't want the maids to see this side of me. They could all squabble and fight like chickens over the alpha, but he belonged to me. I picked up the n
Emma's POV The trolley of dirty plates in front of me was heavy: too heavy for me to haul around alone. There was nobody standing around who could help me, so I knew I was alone on this. I sighed and wiped the moisture off my forehead. Sweat clung to my body and made my dress stick to me like a second skin. Nobody would help me push the cart anyway. People have been avoiding me like the plague since the whole issue with the Alpha and his mother. I let out a whoosh of breath, then laboriously pushed the cart forward. When I had walked into the dining room to clear the table after dinner, I had felt Lana's eyes on me. It was full of hatred and something cold, something I could not name. I seemed to be angering her just by living and breathing, and I didn't really know what to make of that. In my train of thoughts, I wasn't really watching my steps. Suddenly my trolley hit something hard and I let out a startled gasp. I stepped back and looked up at what I'd hit. It was a man, wearing
Emma's POVI was finally done with the day's work, I sighed and dropped the gloves I was holding, wiping sweat off my forehead. I left the kitchen and went to my room. I met Grace already sleeping and I laid beside her,too tired to take a bath. I covered myself up with the old blanket I use every night, I thought about the incident that happened a few days ago and I shuddered.A few days back"Are you okay? I was scared something bad was going to happen to you" Mike said. "Mike!" I called and was dumbfounded to see him, he was the last person I expected to save me."What are you doing out here?" He asked, dusting his shirt and I looked at him still dumbfounded, I could hardly believe I would see him again."Why are you here? How do you know I am here?" I asked him."That shouldn't be any cause of worry for you right now, why are you not in the pack manor at this time of the night? You know how dangerous it can be out of the pack manor and those hungry rogues will devour anyone they
Emma’s POV“Oh! You must be in a good mood this late morning” Mike said and I chuckled. “Do you think so? And why do you think so, I am always in a good mood” I replied, raising my gown made of linen. “You never asked about my night before,” Mike said, and I sighed, wiping away a speck of sweat from my forehead “We never really talked” I answered and started walking away from him, I need to get to work before I make Lady Josephine furious“You seem to be in a haste, I can help you with whatever you want to do,” Mike said, and I looked at him skeptically, his slouch hat slightly bends on his head“Are you not supposed to be on duty?” I asked him.“No” he replied, and I raised my brow at him, he wouldn’t be in his uniform if he was off-duty “I mean yes, but right now, it’s my break period, let me help you Emma” Mike said, and I looked into his eyes, he seems determined and doesn’t look like he will be leaving me alone anytime soon“Okay, I could make use of your arms, follow me,” I s
Lana’s POV A few hours before the incident.I was busy looking at my newly tailored gown, my hands were on the silk feeling the texture, I chuckled as silly thoughts invaded me. I intended to wear this to the visit Alpha Lucas, the neckline was as low as I wanted it and after wearing it with the corset, my breasts are going to pop out the way I want. My thoughts were halted by a knock on the door, I furrowed my brows immediately walking away from the dress before clearing my throat“Come in,” I said, and the door was pushed open, I saw a slave entering my room with his head bowed in respect. “what brings you here?!” I asked.“Your father seeks your presence,” the slave said, and my eyes widened, I was not expecting to see him any time soon“Where is he?” I asked.“He is at the west wing of the pack manor” the slave replied“You can leave,” I said and he scurries away. I looked around excitedly, I had been hoping to see my dad, and he came before I could send an invitation, I wasn’t
Lana’s POVAfter taking a calming bath, I came out of my room to receive the early morning sun when I saw Naomi walking hastily towards me, I looked around immediately because I didn’t want anyone to see us conversing together “Lady Lana,” she said, showing some courtesy“What brought you to my chamber?” I asked. “It is about Mike and Emma,” Naomi said, and I looked around, gesturing her to come closer “Lady Josephine caught them last night at the abandoned cottage in the west wing of the manor,” Naomi said, and I smiled, I know alpha Lucas will never forgive something like that“What position did she catch them in?” I wanted to be certain it was something bawdy.“In a very ribald state, Emma was almost naked and Mike was caught on top of her” Naomi whispered, and I couldn’t help, but my face broke into a huge smile “You can leave, I am so sure the alpha will take it from there. They should be both in the dungeon” I said, feeling proud of myself.“No, Mike is in the dungeon, but Em
