He had barely slept the previous night. Hercules was shivering so much that he almost felt his bed was filled with ice. It was strange. He'd never felt anything like it. somehow he assumed that it was because of the issue at hand. Was that really it? had Audrey Peterson become such a problem that she couldn't find any sleep? of course she was. But when he did get little sleep, Audrey asked a recurring question. Why do you choose to hate me? Why do you choose to hate me?It had driven him mad. He didn't like to be the one feeling vulnerable. He did not like to be the one feeling broken. He was a man of power. Used to being in control. But the idea of another person taking over his heart did not sit right with him. Especially if the person was nothing more than a worthless servant in his opinion. When the sun Rose and its rays pierced through the curtains of his room, he had already been up and dressed. Hercules opened the door and found his father standing right at the other side
Hercules immediately left the throne room, his aim was to find the Servant quarters and have a slight conversation with his mate. He still needed to dictate the rules to her. not only as a servant but also as a submissive mate. it was out of the question. He was not going to compromise submission for anything. casually he noticed Agnes watching him from the top of her house. She had a beautiful balcony that he had set up for her and she lived in a reasonable home other than the other pack citizens. She was well off. Hercules cannot remember the last time he came into the Servant quarters. He hates the place. it's usually so tiny and untidy. The Interiors are poorly done and the workers who constructed it did not do quite as good a job as he had expected. but then again he didn't. because the Wolves that were meant to stay here or not were very important to him. While he had all the resources to make sure that the servants stayed in better places he chose to bring those funds to other
ALPHA HERCULES I have been running for almost an hour now. I need to block out the voices in my head. to allow my wolf to take charge. to be free. so much had happened within a short span of time that I felt like I was suffocating.I had gotten word that Audrey had just woken up. On the other hand my father couldn't get off my back. pestering me over and over again asking questions about who she was and why she was so important. It has been exactly two days since we found her unconscious. While I expect her to go back to normal servant duties, I am worried about her health and safety. was that right? of course it wasn't. because I, as an Alpha should not worry for a worthless mate. Today morning I had received yet again the second reminder of an invitation from Alpha Jeremy. I had not responded to the previous one and now I still doubted if I wanted to go. A couple of days ago I was in the same situation as that man. I have not found out that my mate was some Savant. but now I am re
AUDREY'S POV When I opened my eyes, I had found myself in unfamiliar territory. The room was not more beautiful and magnificent than the Servant quarters. it smelled of lavender. for some reason I could also catch the scent of my mate as if he was around. if only things are not going down that way. but as they say, if wishes were horses beggars would ride.I had eaten one of the most delicious meals just a couple of moments ago. I had not even expected to be given the luxury of eating before everyone else. The bed I slept on was warm. much warmer than every other place I have ever laid my head on.“You mind explaining what all of that was about?’’ the hoarse voice startles me. His scent engulfs the atmosphere, filling my nostrils and causing a tingling sensation between my thighs. I gasp as I stare at him. as handsome as ever. the things that I wanted to do with him…“her..Alpha Hercules…” he stands a short distance away from me. acting like he's afraid of me.‘’ I don't know what y
AUDREY'S POV The Beta did not speak any other word to me as he brings me towards the door of the same servant room. I can feel my heart beating quickly. I don't know what I'm going to do. I can't defend myself against so many girls, even if I wanted to.‘ What are you waiting for? An invitation to get in?” the question startled me. But not as much as they've had hatred directly plastered on his face. I had seen that face a million times among people looking at me like I have done something so wrong to them. Like I was the enemy.Was I not the victim?I open the door and get quickly finished off.“ thank you for bringing me h..” but the man had already left. Now I'm all alone waiting for when the girls are going to come back but when they did I knew that life would soon go back to being miserable. what was I even expecting. it would seem that my prayers have been answered much quicker than i expected. When I tried to shut the door behind me, it was pushed open yet again and the
ALPHA HERCULES The announcement had been made before my mother approached. With the guards open the doors, I set aside the documents that I had been looking into. Mother approached from the entrance. With a smile on her lips but a restless face. I was willing to bet that this conversation would go with the same direction as with my father's. but at least giving her the chance seemed much better than pushing her away before she had the opportunity to say anything.“ Hercules, don't you have any more time to see your mother?’ She scolded, her voice of motherly echoing through the walls of the throne room. The smile on my face doesn't disappear. God, I love this woman.I rise from the throne and move towards her slowly. She extends her arms and I take the opportunity to embrace her. I could tell that she was happy. she wasn't normally in this mood a lot of times. While I wanted to question what had made her like this I felt that bringing forward such a question was designed by the begi
AUDREY'S POV I jolted from the bed with sweat dripping from the Pores of my skin. Sleep has been so good. even much better than the wreck I had taken while in the doctor's office. They have slept in my own bed. and I've never had a bed of my own. The only thing that I was putting up with and still not well accustomed to that pack. Maybe it was for the best making adjustments. Maybe it was for the best that Hercules hated me because I didn't have to fulfill his expectations of me. I suddenly realized that it is quiet. When I glanced around the room all the beds were empty. no one is there. I stepped down from the bed and moved towards the big window in the middle of the wall. The curtains are already open. My eyes widened when I saw that it was already 12:00. the sun was well shining and it had dropped at an angular position. At Black Diamond Pack , I had taught myself to tell time just by the position of the Sun or the weather in general. because no one else was going to tell us th
Picking my clothes up from the floor I bring the uniform close to my body and try to cover myself.“There's nothing special.” he casually states. He steps into the room and slowly inspects it. his eyes dance around the brains of the other servants and then to mine. I can tell that he is looking for mistakes.“You've not made your bed. not only are you a worthless servant but you're also untidy.’’ His words didn't hurt as much as I expected them to. because at the end of the day I had shielded myself and expected the worst.“Get dressed.” I look around the room. There was no bathroom. The only places where the others haven't showered was the large bathroom Hall where we were all supposed to shower together. I remain looking at him. I can't help but let my eyes wander from his lips and down towards his muscular body. The way his royal clothes hug his body tightly. The way his arms are molded.He looks like a gift from the gods. like a god himself. how the hell had the moon goddess real
