"Leave us !",the husky voice says,they both walk out leaving me there standing,I raise my eyes and take a look at him,this is the man that told them to take me. When I lay my eyes on him I can't help but gasp.
Lustrous dark brown hair, his eyebrows sloped downwards into a serious expression, his lips drawn into a hard line across his face, a prominent jaw curved gracefully and the strength of his neck showed in the twining cords of muscle that shaped his abdomen, strong arms and a firm chest. An Adonis among the other men I've seen so far in this place that pale in comparison.
The tapping of his lean slender fingers on the table drew me back to his face,he had the most beautiful eyes I've ever seen, golden like honey with gray flecks,the intensity of his eyes almost made my knees give out.
I'm not one to swoon over a handsome man and I'm usually indifferent but I know the blush that accompanied my face was a dead giveaway about how flustered I was in his presence.
"Had enough?",he says, snapping me back to reality.
"I don't know if you've been told but from now on you are my property,you father owes me $500 000, that you'll have to work to pay for", he said his voice making the hair on my skin tingle.
"I don't care how much that m*therf**ker owes you but I'm in no position to pay you the money he owes,I don't give a f**k, you've kidnapped me and are holding me here against my will,let me go and I'll not report you to the police".
The looks down amused,and gets up from his chair " here your father clearly stated that if he failed to pay , I'd take whatever I want that being you, you're still a minor and you turn eighteen in a month even then you still belong to me ,you clearly signed here that you'll pay back your father's debt after you turn eighteen to the last penny".
" The f**k are you talking about,do you hear yourself this is not the 1872 , slavery is illegal,I know my rights",I say and look through the damn papers there is a part where I pledge to work for the debt of my father after I turn eighteen.
" This is illegal, this is against the law",I say, throwing the papers at him.
But he only laughs "here princess I'm the law,my word is law ,now that's it, get back to work",he says and the doors open with the head servant Astrid walking in.
"Hey I'm not done here !"I yell but I'm pulled away.
"Your behavior today was insolent, and I'm going to teach you a lesson".
" Let go of me b*tch!",I try to yank my hand away,her fingers extend to claws that rip throw my skin,I look in horror as her teeth elongate and her eyes glow,the hair on my skin stand on end, I've never been so scared in my entire life, the dread you feel when in the presence of a predator.
She dragged down the stairs through the kitchen to the back of the house,the other servants clustered around me and I was shoved into a cage with a large dog in it,no it's a wolf.
"Please get me out of here!"I scream and try to reach for one of them.
"You don't turn your back on a predator little girl!"Ms Astrid yells with an evil grin on her face.
I can hear it growl behind me and when I turn it's a meter from me,my legs give out and I fall to my knees wishing for the ground to open and swallow me whole.
I squeeze into the poles trying to be transparent so I can pass through them,the beast continues growling, it's saliva spraying all over me , it gets closer I can feel it's hot moist breath spray my face, I'm praying if there's a God out there to please save me ,the pressure is too much and a warm liquid pours in between my legs , wetting my uniform.
The growling stops and all I hear is laughter around me. I open my eyes and I watch as the wolf shifts to a human ,a woman, the one that hosed me down,I can't believe Jill was right. My breath becomes shallow and I pass out.
I wake up in a cold sweat on a hospital bed,the hand that almost got ripped to shreds bandaged . "It's good to see that you're awake",a voice says." You must be Eden, I'm glad to see you're awake you lost a lot of blood,how do you feel?",he warmly asks." Tired and my arm hurts like a m*therf**ker ",I whisper." It's normal,she got her claws in really deep but somehow managed to miss your artery not causing you to bleed to death,you took the dose of wolfsbane pretty well,it usually knocks humans out for three to four days but you were only out for one",he says." Look at my bad manners I'm Doctor Finlay but you can just call me Mark", he says taking my IV out. I don't know what it is about him , maybe it's the warmth in his eyes and all his bright smile but he reminded me so much of Tyrone.He prescribed me a small dose of wolfsbane to help with the pain only to take at night and told me how to take care of the wound and also some antibiotics for the wound inside my cheek from the sla
Syrus' POVI listened to Collin's report on what the head servant did to Eden.I know I said I don't care about her but recalling how she looked in that tight fitted uniform had me barely keeping myself together,I wanted to claim her right there and then on my table.I'm losing it,not only is she a human but her father threatens the existence of my species.The goddess must be f**king with me for giving me a human as a mate."You know you can't keep ignoring her right?", Collin says." Shut up, I'm not in the mood, it's normal to be sexually attracted to my fated mate , after all it helps with the conceiving of an heir, but a human? is the goddess f**king with me ?, I can never be with a lesser being much less the cause of all my problems"" I just hope you know what you're doing"," I'm the greatest Alpha there has ever been,of course I know what I'm doing",I say and take a drink from my whiskey, that's right it's just the pheromones."Has he said anything?", I ask, changing the topic
After dinner Jill and I waited for the wolves to finish their baths so we could have ours. "Do you think of ever leaving this place?" I ask as we sweep the kitchen." Why would I want to leave,I have everything I need here ,out there I have nothing"." Me too but we can be each other",I don't know why I said that, that's what Tyrone used to tell me always."It's useless the Alpha will find us anyway and there will be horrible consequences,they might even feed you to the rogues in the dungeons".Rogues?like the ones my dad spoke of in the stories? I wonder how he's doing right now, where they are holding him. I don't want to care but I just can't help it."Dungeons? there are dungeons here that have rogues in them?"." Yes the servants used to take me there to scare me into obedience, they'd lock me up for days next to a cell of a rogue that wanted nothing but to break through to get to me and eat me",she says, she says it as if it is a normal thing and just continued on with her work.
The whole room becomes quiet, nobody speaks and they seem to be too shocked to speak."F**k!", Syrus cusses .And Yedira begins laughing "wait until father hears this ,your mate is the daughter of the man that made the formula for the drug that is turning wolves rogue, that turned your love into one as well,now this is what I call entertainment",she says downing the her glass ,Syrus walks up from his sit and grabs the bottle from her and drinks everything to the last drop."What's going on, what do you mean I'm his mate,mate like soulmates?",I ask." Yes, something like that",Mark says,and I can't explain the joy I feel.I look towards Syrus looking for something,joy , reassurance, anything at all, but all he does is glare at me,I see anger and disappointment.What do they mean about drugs , whose love has gone rogue that she spoke of. I have all these questions that need answers."You can't possibly be thinking of Deborah? You know that she has a mate ,she left you for him . what ? No
I Ielt fear ,an uncomfortable fear like I was in so much trouble. "You , what's your name?",Sarai asks while wiping her hand.I couldn't find my voice and before I realized it I was shivering."Speak!",the lady that opened the door says she must be Tatiana."Eden, Eden Blake Ms..""You're the one that has been causing a lot of trouble,you got Astrid fired", Tatiana says calmly." You smell like Syrus!Tell me why you smell like him!",Sarai yells ,she must be impulsive but people like her are better than the calm Tatiana who's stare penetrated into my soul."You little b*tch!"Sarai lunged at me. I could see her claws aiming at my face but the door suddenly burst open and in a blink of an eye she was pinned at the wall by Syrus.His power hand wrapped around her delicate neck it looked like he was going to snap her neck,but Tatiana managed to pull him from her , convincing him to let her go.Jill pulled me from where I was kneeling and we got out of the room,my knees kept shaking all the
"Happy birthday!"Jill yells, waking me from my sleep. She had a cup with a candle lit on top of it. "Happy 18th birthday","Thank you,you didn't have to",I say, blowing out the candle. I've finally turned eighteen,this is what I wanted more than anything so I could get away from my father and start a new life. It's been a month since Syrus rejected me and banned me from working inside the house so he can't see me.We get up before Carol comes,my life has been a complete hell,we work till we drop but at least we have each other,Jill and I will leave this place all have to do is plan carefully,if Syrus doesn't love me then that's his own loss I won't stay broken on the floor and cry , I'm Eden Blake life has put me through too much to break from this , even though it hurts I just work myself out do I don't have time to think about being rejected.I don't know if Sarai and Tatiana know that I'm Syrus' mate but they make sure Carol drops all the work on us ,even the other humans leave mos
I open my eyes and I'm in the infirmary again with Jill by my side."Did that m*therf**ker do this to you!",she angrily questions.What? What is she talking about? Does she think Syrus did this to me?."Tell meEden did he do this to because I'm ready to end that bastard!"," No he didn't,why would you even think that?"" Don't try to protect him, Eden!"" Jill, Syrus didn't do this to me,it was Ana and Penelope, together with two other girls, they caught me in the hallway and beat me up"." I'll show them not to mess with you!",she yells " but they really f**ked you up really good, we'll have to get them back even if the head servants cut our meals"The door opens and Mark walks in " you're my most regular patient, better be careful, I'll begin thinking you like seeing my face, Sarai really lost it , Syrus already warned her not to hurt you,but lucky for you he already kicked her out",he says and takes a seat. I'm happy to hear that Syrus didn't let her get away with this even though
I checked myself three,four times in the mirror to make sure my new maid's uniform looked okay,Jill who was still putting on hers, just rolled her eyes in annoyance.After getting my ass kicked many things have changed,we have new rules,we even get to use the bathrooms at the same time as the wolves to much of their annoyance.We get to eat breakfast really early before the sun even rises.The day dawned crisp and clear as I pushed the little breakfast cart into the elevator to take me to the Alpha's floor.I could hear my heart thumping over Jill's constant chatter about everyone's business.She was delivering food to the rest of the rooms on the floor and me to the Alpha's room.I softly knocked and entered when I heard him respond.Syrus had just stepped out of the shower and was drying his hair with another towel and had another wrapped around his waist.I stopped and watched the water run down on his torso and down the v-line hidden in his towel.My feet planted to the floor and st
