"Who are you?" I croaked out as I looked at the woman who stood beside my bed when I opened my eyes.
She cleared her throat before speaking, "my name's Brigitte. I'm Alpha Quentin's first wife. I just came to check up on you. I was given orders to stay by your side until you woke up and attend to your needs."
"Well, I'm fine," I said blandly as I turned my face away from hers and looked to the side. Looking outside of the square window that was on the other side of the room, too far for me to reach. I wanted to run towards it and seek escape once more but I knew I wouldn't get too far.
"Are you hungry?" She asked me again and I closed my eyes as I swallowed and my throat felt dry and tight.
"When will she come around, Elisabeth?" Quentin asked as he leaned back into his leather chair behind his big oak desk. "It's frustrating that my true mate keeps rejecting me," he complained with distaste as he gripped his left hand into a tight fist.Elisabeth landed lightly on the corner of the desk as she smiled up at the Alpha, "well, Alpha, you need to let her wrap her mind around this entire ordeal. Remember that she's human, and humans are much more innocent than any of us. You can’t expect her to just jump into your arms and for the both of you to live happily ever after," she spoke delicately, hoping that her words didn't seem disrespectful to the raging and heartbroken Alpha or it would be "off with her head!".
You'll be amazed at what good of a mood you'll be in just from being taken outside for walks and slowly healing from a broken ankle. The world did feel a lot brighter than it did when I was in that room all damn day with nothing to do except look out a small window.Don't be fooled, I'm not entirely happy, but it was getting a bit better. I'm waiting until my ankle heals so that I can run away, for real now, and get some help."Can you tell me about the human world, Sarafina?" Elisabeth asked me as she came and sat in the middle of m
"I don't think I want to go out with the wives today," I complained as I looked at my reflection in the mirror. I didn't have to use my crutches anymore, but my foot was in a massive cast that I had Elisabeth sign her tiny signature on.Elisabeth thought it would be a great idea for me to get to know the other wives better since I was soon going to be a part of the family. She didn't tell me this, instead she led me to believe that she and I just needed to wake up early and make ourselves look pretty.Only after I'd done my make up, and put on a pretty dress did she reveal to me the real reason I was getting ready."They're wonderful people," Elisabeth tried to defend them as I rolled my eyes.
"Those wives are psychos!" I exclaimed as I looked at Elisabeth sitting in my palm as she stood with her feet crossed at her ankles and her hands on her waist. I liked the dress that she was wearing today, a bright pink puffy dress that reached before her knees.She smiled as she tilted her head and looked at me, "what happened? Let me guess," she placed a hand under her chin, acting like she was deep in thought, "Caroline and Katherine started fighting, and Caroline was winning. Then for some reason, Hermione tried to step in and then Rebecca hit her. Hermione then jumped on her, and Florence tried to help her best friend. Is that what happened?"I frowned, "yes. How did you know?"Elisabeth laughed, "because they always fight like that, Sara
I'll begin by saying that I've always been a cry baby. I was an only child, and my father wasn't in my life. My mother was all that I had and I was all that she had, so she spoiled me rotten. I've always gotten what I wanted from her, anything that she could do for me, she did. I love her so much and I miss her even more.So now that I'm folded up on the floor, crying and praying that I someway find my way out of here, there was no way I couldn't have recognized the sparks and tingles that erupted all over my body as I felt someone wrapping their arms around me.
He was leaning forward and his elbows were on the table as he tilted his head slightly at me. He had a smirk on the corner of his lips as he watched me intently and I kept rolling my eyes every few seconds because I was irritated. I'd rolled them so much that I was now afraid that I would roll them into the back of my head.He cleared his throat, "so what can you tell me about you, Sarafina?" He asked coolly like everything was fine and dandy."Are you serious?" I scoffed as I rolled my eyes yet again and folded my arms, wondering when the food would come because I wanted to concentrate on anything else besides the man."I just want to know-""No," I cut him off, "you're not goi
I was ready for my daily walk and I needed it more today than I did all those other days. I needed some time outside and I'd ask Elisabeth not to speak because I just wanted to breathe and think about Quentin and what went down yesterday. I also wanted to think about escaping because my ankle's coming along nicely and I can walk a bit better than before. So I should start coming up with some mastermind plan to get the hell out of this place.After learning from Quentin yesterday that he owns this entire town, called Wyvernston Creek, that stretched as far as the eye could see, I know my escape won't be easy. I just need to think smart even though I'm desperate enough to do anything at this point.I heard a knock on my bedroom door and I knew it was Elisabeth so I walked to the door and opened it wide open, e
"Are you crazy?" Elisabeth shouted as the smile on my face got smaller the more I was looking at her angry face that had gone pink."Well hello to you too, Elisabeth," I grumbled as I put my hand down, deflated that my only friend wasn't looking very pleased with me, "I missed yo-""Sarafina, what were you thinking?" She snapped as the door slammed closed behind her and all of the curtains in the room covered the opened windows, leaving both she and I in the dark as she flew close to my face, "do you know what you are doing?""Uh, what are you talking about?" I asked her, wondering what could have made her so upset because I haven't done anything wrong."How could you tell him t
