Everyone in the pack was up early on the morning of the event to make sure that everything was ready for the guests' arrival. Everything was in place, including the music setup, food, beverages, and everything else. Alpha Shaun and Lucy had already arrived and were sitting in the palace on the throne chairs. As the time for their arrival got closer, the anxiousness grew. Shaun's tension was palpable as he continued to scan the area beyond the door to determine whether the Lycan king was present. This is the most tense I've ever seen him. "Finally, he's here!" They got up to welcome them outside, Shaun stated after one of the pack's guards whispered in his ear. In the nook by the kitchen, I was standing. observing what was going on from a distance. Looking from a distance, I could see how ruthless and haughty the Lycan king was. While Shaun, Lucy, a few of the pack's council chiefs, and a few guards approached them, they were... A few of the guards and council chiefs of the Lycans we
I was so intensely preoccupied with my thoughts as I sat there and watched those two strong kings quarrel over me. 'Why me?' I pondered to myself. I was still thinking, 'I'm not even a Lycan, what if the suffering there is worse than the one I'm currently experiencing?,' as I noticed Lucy's delight at the news. My attention was then drawn to King Kane's subsequent remarks."Alright, Shaun! For the tranquillity of your pack and the security of your members, she is the gift I demand! If not... There won't even be an agreement... And I can guarantee that I'll attack and murder each of you one by one!.... I mean, she's just a maid, right?" He asked as he sat back in the wooden chair he was seated on, "Why are you so protective of her?" His words were so sour and irritating.I shook my head and thought, 'I have now become a piece of commodity used for trading between the two Kings.'"Kane, you can't do that. Though She was my mate, but I rejected her. We have so many more maidens aside f
"Let's go, Evelyn; the sun has already set," Kane said with his deep stoic voice, not even looking towards my direction, and then he led the way. "Okay, King Kane, Let's go. " I answered nervously, trying to take a step towards his direction. That was the exit path of our pack and their cars were parked just beside the road. I slowly turned back to take a look at our pack for the last time. Looking at the pack made me get into thinking again, but this time, I was thinking of how I became the sacrificial lamb of my pack. I was used in exchange for the safety of the same people who hate me so much, and then I also remembered all the things I passed through in the hands of Shaun and Lucy and my mind jumped to the thoughts of what I'm going to face at the Lycan's pack then my heart begins to pound very fast. I quickly turned back and continued to move faster, when Kane caught me standing still and looking back and screamed my name. "Evelyn! What the fuck do you think you are doing? Hu
"Thank you, Steven" I smiled at him. "Okay, Evelyn…. Don't worry, just let me know if you need anything or if you have any challenges around". He said while giving me a sincere smile, but I still couldn't understand the way he was looking at me, our eyes almost locked into each other, but I quickly avoided eye contact and interrupted. "Okay Steven, thank you, but I have a question, something that has been bothering me… Please, why is the king hosting this special dinner?" I could not wait to ask him, since he appeared to be nice towards me. Then Steven grins at me calmly. And answered; "He usually hosts the special dinner, mostly if he has any announcement to make. And I think this announcement has to do with your arrival into our pack and probably other important issues". "Oh! I see! Okay thank you once more, Steven, I gotta go now, the King sent for me". I said, offering a fake smile at Steven. But I still feel awkward about why the special dinner is because of me. "Sure, go a
The way the old man confronted Kane worried him. His obvious rage was visible in his eyes. He couldn't say it out loud, but it appeared that he was bothered. Except for me, everyone in the room was eating and enjoying dinner. I was unable to even taste the delectable food that was being served to me. I was unable to stop thinking about all Kane had said earlier about me. To make matters worse, I became angrier as a result of what the old man said and the obvious hostility he had for me in his speech. I was so preoccupied with my own thoughts as I sat there that I struck the ceramic plate holding my food with the silverware in my hand, making a noise in the process. Thomas gave me a push while slanting his elbow to the side. He just did that to alert me to what I was doing because he could see I was only physically present and absent-minded. I was startled by Thomas' touch, but I quickly realised where I was and bounded out of my thoughts. I turned my head first to look in Steven's
I slumped onto my bed and kept thinking about what had happened. He said something before he left my room, and it kept coming up. 'Ungrateful, b*tch? What was he even getting at? Because of what I did, I was also unable to stop wondering about what would come next. My chest felt extremely heavy, and my wrath increased. ******"Take these clothes and wash them. Ensure that they are clean! And move quickly. You still have more work to do. You'll be cleaning my chamber by yourself today."Early in the morning, Alpha Kane arrived in my room carrying a large amount of clothing and demanding that I wash them. Am I working as a maid now? I understand why he's treating me this way, so there. I have no choice, but it's because of last night. I must complete it. Even before I extend my hands to take the clothes, he still has a very angry expression. He threw them to the ground before leaving, paranoid. Just as I was preparing to begin the laundry. I am aware that Kane forbade me from using
Steven suspiciously looked at me. "Do you have an alternate explanation to what he told me? Evelyn.""No, don't worry. It's nothing. Just continue… I'm just surprised that you are the one to dress my wound and not the maid. That's all."He knew I wasn't telling the entire truth. But he just kept calm and smiled. "Well, you just need to be careful."Steven is a cute boy, he's very friendly. He has been nothing but a good friend to me since I came to this pack. But there's something I noticed. Apart from just being a good friend, he also appears to want something more than friendship. But I tried my best to avoid him, so he wouldn't feel like he'd expect more than that. He kept staring at me as if he wanted to speak. I could feel it even without raising my eyes to look at him. "Thank you, Dr. Steve. I appreciate your care. You're indeed a good friend." I broke out his stare. And he hesitated for a little while and hissed. "You're welcome, Evelyn. But is that all you see in me? A fr
*****It was night again. The bright moonlight got my attention. I could see it through the window of my room. My heart jumps up with strange feelings whenever I think about Alpha Kane and the expensive gifts he sent me. I felt butterflies in my stomach that I had never felt before. Then it made me smile. Earlier in the afternoon. I'd wanted to go to his chamber and look straight into his eyes to appreciate him for the gift, regardless of why he gave it to me. But unfortunately for me, he was in a meeting with other Alphas. Tackling the pack's affairs. I had to come back to my room to continue resting. I slept for so long because of the effects of the drugs Steven gave me for my wound earlier. When evening came it was time for dinner. Kane went out. But no one told me where he went. So I had to tell myself that I'd just do that tomorrow first thing in the morning. I lay on the bed with my back and my hands wrapped behind my head. Lost in thoughts about Kane again. Then I remember
