On the second day, I managed to clean most of the house until only two rooms remained. I couldn't complete the rooms today because I was already exhausted. I stopped at Samantha's house but it was locked. I decided to return to the pack house. As I was entering the building, I noticed Athena coming out. I retraced my steps and hid behind a tree. She exited the building with two men who she seemed over-friendly with. A third man walked out of the house and I recognized Dionyus instantly.He shared a laugh and a hug with Athena before they continued, walking away. A thought crossed my mind. Could Athena have something to do with the incident that night of the banquet and the murder of the girl? It could be possible. I needed to speak to Xerxes or Xander since the king was out of the option. Athena was dangerous if she truly had something to do with the murder of the girl. When I was sure they've moved away, I came out from the spot and entered the building. This was the second time I h
"What? No. You can't do that Agnia. I can't work as the alpha's personal maid" "It's not something I decided on Frost. The command came directly from the alpha" "You have to do something" I cried desperately "There is nothing I can do. You'll have to obey or take it up with the alpha" I stayed silent still processing this whole mess. How could he? Why would he make me his personal maid? "In my opinion, this is the best thing. You're closer to him and safer that way" I scoffed. He was trouble. Staying far away from him was the best option for me. "Frost. About what happened earlier today with the letter. It's best if you don't speak about it with anyone" "Is something wrong?" "No. It's for your safety. Our safety. I don't know what joke the person is trying to play but you must not get involved with issues conveying the blood wolf, it's deadly. I trust you'll keep your mouth shut about this issue?" "Yes" I nodded "That will be all then. You may leave. You resume your duties tom
The door flew open and light from the hallway flooded the room entrance. I stared like a fool as the Alpha's large frame filled the doorway. His eyes darted between me and the broken frame on the floor. "What the fuck are you doing in here?" he asked through gritted teeth. "I... I... the painting" I stammered in fear. "Who asked you to be in here?" he stormed inside and pushed me away from the pieces on the floor. I caught myself with the wall but suffered some bruises from the impact. I watched dumbfounded as he knelt and picked the pieces of glass from the floor. "Nobody is supposed to be fucking in here" he shouted angrily still not taking his eyes away from the floor. He was reacting calmly. Way more calm than I expected him to be. I expected him to rage, break something and threaten to kill me. "I'm sorry" I apologized genuinely. I was going to leave the room and I didn't have plans to destroy the painting. It just happened and although he didn't look angry, I still needed to
ALPHA ROME'S POV Staring at the shattered pieces of the artwork caused me grief. Lucille loved that artwork especially, that was why she hung it next to the door where she could look at it in our old bedroom. When I recreated it, I put it where it was formerly. I was torn between being furious with Frost and understanding it was a mistake. Why was she there in the first place? How did she find the key? A lot of questions that I could have gotten answers to if I had simply asked her but I was caught up in my emotions and I didn't want to say something I'll regret so I asked her to leave albeit harshly but she got the message and left thankfully. I pulled out the painting, previously framed with glass. Thankfully there was no tear when it shattered. I folded it and put it into my first drawer. I would replace the frame much later. I felt calm now and I closed my eyes. My door opened and Gideon entered. "Did you send Dionyus up to my floor?" He looked confused for a second but he nodd
He stormed down the short stairs and Xerxes squared his shoulders waiting for an attack. "Let go of her right this instant" he yelled angrily at Xerxes. Xerxes didn't let me go and only tightened his grip on my arm. "Xerxes" I mumbled in a small voice. I didn’t want any trouble or argument. "Don't get between this Frost" Xerxes voice was cold and commanding. The shouts had grabbed the attention of some people and they were watching us intently. "Let go Xerxes" Xander stood a few feet away from us with a cold look. "Stay out of this" Alpha Rome ignored Xerxes and dragged me out of his hold roughly. "Don't manhandle her" "Stay in your fucking lane, Xerxes. Don't push me. Let's go inside Frost" he nudged me gently. "Don't push her" Xerxes pulled Rome's shoulder roughly. Alpha Rome punched him hard in the face and I heard a sickening crack. Xerxes chuckled and spat blood out. "Finally showing your true colors?" "Enough Xerxes" Xander pushed Xerxes but he pushed back. "Stay the
My body was burning from so much heat. My face was buried into a hard wall that smelled so good but I still had difficulty with breathing. I opened my eyes and tried to move back but something seemed to be holding me tightly. I pushed against the wall but instead, I realized I was pressed up a hard body. Alpha Rome. Memories from last night flooded my head and my cheeks burned with embarrassment. My ass tingled where he had spanked me and my thighs clenched remembering the pleasure he had made me feel. I've never felt something like that in all of my existence. Embarrassed by all that, I pushed harder against him. "Stay still Frost" his morning voice was deep and husky. My thighs involuntarily clenched and a flood of wetness escaped me. I heard him suck in a deep breath and I knew he would be able to smell my arousal. My embarrassment doubled and I pushed harder against his chest. Thankfully, he let go of me and I moved far away from him. My body missed his warmth but I needed to ke
“Fifty gold coins?” The tall man asked in disbelief. “That is too much for a slave” another man said. “How can you afford that? Did you steal? Are you even supposed to own that kind of money?”. Ajax took a step forward and the men went silent. “You really want to buy the slave for fifty gold coins?” The auctioneer asked. “Yes” “Let me have the coins”. I quickly picked out the silver coins and gave it to the man. After counting and confirming the amount in the bag, a greedy smile spread on his face. “Have her” he handed the chain to me and slipped a key into my hand. “I won’t hand this coins back to you” “I don’t need you to” I said and started unlocking the girl’s chained hands. Ajax helped me and she was free from the chains. “Why did you buy me?” She asked in a dull tone. Why did I buy her? I had no reason to buy her but I did anyway. I guess it was better than allowing those men to take her for themselves. “What will you do to me?” “Nothing, you are free to go. Take this”
I took a step back, bumping into Will who was standing behind me. A fight to the death? She was trying to murder me, because there was no way I could win her in a duel. She was the head of the female warriors for a reason and I, a common omega who had never fought in her life. I would lose. But I also couldn't reject the challenge. The wolves would look down on me even more. "What? You can’t accept the challenge?" She taunted and I gulped. I willed myself to respond, to just say anything but my mouth was dry. No words would come out. How could I accept what would inevitably end my existence? The crowd of warriors was silent as they watched and waited for what would happen. They waited for me to accept the challenge. "Are you too scared to take on me? Because you know you have no chance? That you're no match for me?" She mocked me further, circling me with an overconfident grin etched on her face. I wish I could wipe it off. Permanently. "Accept that you're no match for me" Yes. I
