A review and comments will be very much appreciated! Love you all!
"Address me as 'Your Highness'," Selena commanded, her voice echoing through the grand living room, the opulent chandeliers casting a warm golden glow on the scene. She took deliberate steps, her elegant gown flowing behind her, as she closed the distance between herself and Faith, her heels clicking against the marble floor.Faith, who showed unwavering confidence stood tall, her posture radiating strength despite the palpable tension in the air. At five feet eight inches, she matched Selena's height, her poise unyielding even as Selena attempted to assert her dominance. Selena's heels, adding five inches to her stature, served as a silent reminder of her refusal to be intimidated. Faith met Selena's gaze with a calm resolve, her eyes reflecting a depth of understanding beyond her years.Acknowledging Selena's demand, Faith nodded slowly, her serene countenance undisturbed by the confrontation unfolding. She chose not to engage in a battle of egos, instead focusing on maintaining her
THAT NIGHT"Mommy! You are back!" Echo shrieked out in happiness as she emerged from her hiding spot under the bed, catching sight of Faith entering the room through the creaking door. The room, dimly lit by a single flickering lamp, seemed to come alive with Echo's exuberance.Faith, her weary eyes mirroring the exhaustion etched on her face, had just finished a grueling day of menial tasks. The weight of her responsibilities had pressed down on her throughout the day, yet she persevered. She had tirelessly washed countless dishes, meticulously swept every corner of the floor, and meticulously dusted off every piece of furniture. Fatigue threatened to overcome her, but she soldiered on, her determination unyielding.In her threadbare dress, Faith had managed to navigate the labyrinthine corridors of the mansion, her steps guided by a wary caution. While the shadows loomed menacingly, she was fortunate to have escaped the clutches of any lurking predators. The silence of the empty hall
Kendrick's heightened senses as a Lycan allowed him to hear the faint sound of the little girl's silent cries, echoing in his mind like a persistent buzz. His acute hearing picked up every sound around him, from their whispered conversations to their laughter, even the rumbling in the child's stomach. These sounds, though innocent, gnawed at him, unsettling his thoughts and emotions. He couldn't comprehend why the cries affected him so deeply, why the mere mention of Faith being punished troubled him to his core. The conflicting emotions tormented him, leaving him questioning himself.Meanwhile, on the third floor where he and Selena stood, impatience radiated from Selena's demeanor. She was growing increasingly annoyed by the absence of the new maid."Where is the new maid? Why isn't she here yet?" Selena's irritation was evident, her impatience palpable.The grand hall where the meeting took place was adorned with opulent tapestries that depicted the history of the werewolf communit
There was excessive knocking on Faith's door early in the morning, shattering the tranquility of the still darkened world. Even the birds hadn't stirred from their slumber. With a sense of urgency, Faith quickly got up, her movements careful and calculated, so as not to disturb her daughter, Echo, who lay peacefully asleep on the bed, beside her. She opened the door, hoping to silence the persistent knocking before it reached Echo's sensitive ears.To her surprise, the same omega from the previous night stood before her, wearing a scowl that seemed etched into her features. It was clear that this omega harbored a deep resentment towards Faith, an animosity that weighed heavily on Faith's heart. She couldn't help but feel sorry for the girl, wondering what had caused such hostility to fester within her."How can I help you, miss?" Faith asked, her voice gentle and cautious. She didn't want to further incite the woman's anger, regardless of her status within the pack."The future queen i
It was six in the morning. Around two hours later since her last interaction with Selena. Echo was still sleeping but she got the food from the kitchen. She ate a little, the rest brought inside the room and kept in a corner of the bed. So that Echo can have it when she wakes up. Her little girl knows how to take care of herself when her mommy isn't around. Faith quickly got inside the awful dress before Echo could wake up and see her in that dress. She quickly and quietly came outside and Lucy was already waiting for her outside with her usual grumpy face. "Follow me." Lucy said and Faith nodded at her without saying another word. She silently followed her outside the palace through the backdoor. They walked through the jungle behind a little before they came across a big dark building. It was giving her creepy vibes. "That's your place of work. Clean all the toilets in there today. Help yourself. I am off now." Lucy spat at her before turning around to leave without letting her
"Di...did you kill them...?" Faith asked, her voice trembling as she struggled to catch her breath, still recovering from the near panic attack she had just experienced.Faith's heart pounded in her chest, its rhythm echoing the residual fear that lingered from the harrowing ordeal she had just endured. Gasping for air, she struggled to regain control over her trembling body. The man who had emerged as her savior stood by her side, a pillar of strength in the midst of chaos. His presence alone provided a much-needed respite from the overwhelming terror that had threatened to consume her.As she caught her breath, Faith dared to glance at her surroundings, her eyes still haunted by the images of violence and danger that seemed to lurk in every shadow. The man remained silent, his unwavering gaze fixed upon her. She felt a surge of anticipation, desperately hoping for a response to her burning question.The man, her savior, had pulled her out of that small hellish situation and into the
As the sun's gentle rays filtered through the leaves, casting a warm glow upon the surroundings, Faith found herself immersed in the thoughts of what happened a few minutes ago. Her gaze fixed downwards, she mumbled self assurance softly to herself, her thoughts consumed by the impending conversation she needed to have.Interrupting her solitude, Steven appeared, his brow furrowed with confusion as he observed Faith's nervous demeanor. Sensing her unease, he offered to talk right then and there, perplexed as to why she seemed so hesitant and he had many questions as well. "Faith, I have a lot of questions. Could you please answer them?" Steven asked slowly, not wanting to startle her. Shifting her gaze from the ground to meet his eyes, Faith felt a mixture of gratitude and vulnerability. Her voice trembled slightly as she replied, "No... I can't talk now. But... but I do need to talk to you. You're the first good person I've encountered since I arrived here." Her words were laced wi
"Steven, my little boy!" "Steve, you are back from the trip!" The king and queen exclaimed in happiness as soon as they saw their youngest son getting inside the living room. They were having their morning tea. Steven had gone on a patrolling mission around their border for a week and he had just returned this morning. Steven was the youngest and most loving son of theirs. They pamper them more than they do to Kendrick. Kendrick doesn't mind because he loves his younger brother as well. "Good morning, father. Good morning, mother. Could I please talk to you both later? I am in a hurry." Steven said in a blank tone as he continued to walk toward the stairs after stopping to bow at them a little. He didn't even look at them properly. "You just returned from a very long and tiring journey. What are you in a hurry for?" The king stopped him and asked with a frown. Steven stopped after hearing him as well and turned around to look at him. The look of annoyance and displeasure were clea
