chapter 9

SELIORA POV

“What the hell!” I muttered angrily watching the members of Obsidian pack giggling and partying.

A few minutes ago, I was in the room in which Kaelion had ordered his men to take me when I heard noises and chants.

At first, I decided to ignore it but it kept getting increasingly loud.

Out of curiosity, I decided to check to see what was going on for myself and walked out of the room. I made my way out of the house quietly and made sure not to attract any attention to myself.

This also seemed to me like a good way to look around the house.

“There surely has to be a way I can get out of this hellhole,” I thought to myself but as I continued to walk towards the noises, I was shocked by the scene.

It seemed like Kaelion’s pack was having a party. The more I stared at them, the angrier I got but I knew I had to hold it all in.

It was too early to start causing trouble.

“You should be in your room,” I heard Kaelion say to me from behind.

Somehow he had noticed I was not in the room.

“I heard noises,” I mumbled, turning back to look at him but soon noticed the entire pack had directed their attention to me.

“You should have killed her too since her father is the one responsible for the attack!” One of the pack members growled.

He looked like he wanted to tear me apart in that moment but I didn't fear him. If not for the situation, I knew I would beat him fair and square in a one-on-one fight in just seconds.

“We will talk about this tomorrow, tonight we celebrate,” Kaelion stated in a firm tone before moving closer to me. “Come with me right now.”

I reluctantly walked away with him but as we walked into the living room, he glared at me with so much anger in his eyes.

“I was not trying to escape, I only got curious,” I muttered, maintaining eye contact with him.

“You are not allowed to go out of the house without my permission, Seliora. This is my first rule!” He yelled. “Seeing you around would only remind them of what your father did to our pack.”

“My father did nothing!” I cut in but managed to calm myself down.

There was no point arguing or even talking to him. All I had to do was prove to him that I am right and destroy him afterwards.

“As long as you live here, you will obey me and abide by all my rules,” He continued, this time in a much lower tone.

“Please by all means, enlighten me with your rules,” I responded, in a sarcastic tone.

Kaelion parted his lips but before he could say a word, the door creaked open. I noticed his expression changed as he saw the lady who looked the same age as me walk in.

“We will talk about this tomorrow, go get some rest because you have a long day ahead of you tomorrow,” He simply whispered to me walking closer to her.

As I walked away and tried to find the room I was earlier asked to stay in, I could hear some of Kaelion's conversations with her.

“She should not be here, her father might launch another attack on us, Kaelion. You should have killed her or left her at her pack,” I heard her say.

“At least she is smart,” I whispered to myself before spotting the room.

As I entered the almost empty room which had a small chair and a small wooden wardrobe I collapsed onto the bed.

I then closed my eyes and took a long deep breath while running my hands through my hair.

I thought about how broken mother and father would be after returning home to see our pack destroyed and even how devastated they would be after discovering Kaelion had taken me away with me.

They had already lost one daughter in the past, I could not let them lose me too.

“You have got this, Seliora,” I said to myself, opening my eyes and standing up.

I made my way towards the wardrobe as I needed to get out of the ripped and dirty ball gown which I had had on the entire day.

I opened it up and found some old clothes that looked like they had been abandoned for a long time.

“I will have to make do with what I have,” I muttered, picking out a big white shirt.

I dusted it then removed my gown, and changed into it.

It was finally time for me to get some rest but as I lay down on the bed, I saw a tray of food with a bottle of water on the floor right across me.

“He has some nerves,” I whispered to myself.

There was no way I could eat or even drink after everything I had witnessed in the past ten hours.

Feeling tired, I closed my eyes in the hope of getting some sleep but I just could not, the only scene replaying in my head was how Kaelion and his men slaughtered my pack members.

I lay still on the bed and continued to relive the moment over and over again until I lost count.

“This won't do,” I mumbled to myself, opening my eyes.

I then sat up and decided to come up with ways to get back at Kaelion instead. I needed to be extra smart and one step ahead of him to even have a chance against him.

I began to contemplate over and over again on what to do until a brilliant plan finally occurred to me.

“You are never going to see this coming, Kaelion,” I stated, staring blankly at the door.

The plan required a lot of patience but it was all going to be worth it after I exposed the truth behind his accusations and avenge my pack.
