Lily.

It wasn’t even up to ten minutes that a maid came into the room with new clothes in her hands. To say, I was a bit happy because I will be getting out of these nasty clothes that were provided to me by Rebecca, a traitor.

I hope she never stays happy, if possible she should die. The maid fished out a small key from her pocket, undoing the chain but my happiness didn’t even last for long. There was Dronagola everywhere, so I can even escape. And for the maid to be sent down here, then she must be Alpha Theodore most trusted, earning her trust and becoming her friend will really be a hard thing for me.

But then, everything is worth a try, maybe she will make a difference. “You know I can hear your thought right?” she asked, helping me put on the skirt as part of my hands were injured.

I had totally forgotten about that ability of a werewolf and hence, I forced her out of my mind, that way she won’t be able to know what I am thinking about. I faked a smile before thanking her for getting me a new set of clothes. “Do you mind getting me more water? This one is almost finished.” I requested, hoping that will really work on her.

“I am not in charge of bringing food to you; those that are in charge will do that when it is the right time.” She replied with a stoic face and left the room, of course, after putting back the cuffs.

I hissed, wondering why most of them in this pack are bewitched by Alpha Theodore, I mean he is just a mere Alpha, he doesn’t have anything to do with witches, well except me but we are not related and that, will not be the reason why everyone is swayed away from him.

I think this should be my new mission and also the major keys to me leaving this pack. If I unveil the truth, I will know what or who is behind him and then, I can plan anything after. But now, I will give him the express that I want to continue staying here and that I have accepted defeat, even though he is not that daft to believe me but it is going to worth a try.

One thing I didn’t notice was that the maid that just left had kept a novel for me, well, three novels for me and they seemed to be in a series form. At least, this will help in keeping me busy until the day I find a way that can help me out.

I picked the book, going through the prologue and a little preview that was written in the back of the book. The authors name wait Mirabella and I am sure that I have heard the name from Rebecca once or twice, rather.

I am just not sure why Rebecca mentioned the name and due to this Dronagola, I can’t even recall most of the things that happened in the past. “Damn, you Alpha Theodore.” I uttered in a low tone, to avoid anyone hearing me.

The last time I did, it didn’t end well really. The prologue and the preview seemed okay to me but when I went through the chapter one, I was hooked. The author took her time to explain all the details and didn’t rush the chapters. The book was about humans and the mermaid, a fictional book and hence, this might be the reason why Rebecca knew of her.

She must to be that famous for her to publish all the series in a year, I love seeing ladies achieve their dreams really. It always makes me happy. I lost count of the time, totally engrossed in reading until I heard the key jingling and the door was opened. Another maid entered, with a tray and a water jug in her left hand. 

As she was ordered, she didn’t say anything, rather she picked the old water jug and the plate that I had used earlier and left. I sighed, checking the window to see that the sun was slowly setting and it will soon be night. I picked the food, seeing it was baked potato with vegetables and some orange juices. 

I guess Alpha Theodore wants his sex toy to be in healthy situation when he comes for her and that is very bold of him to assume that I will let him his way. I might be a stripper but I have my rules and limits. One of my rules is no never let a client walk over me.

I am going to assume that Alpha Theodore is a client and he will be treated like how the bad and stupid ones get treated because he doesn’t deserves to be happy. I finished my food in silence and when I was done, I picked up the book, hoping to read a few more chapters before I will retire for the day.

I did read a few chapters but I ended finishing the whole book one and when I was getting ready to read the book two, the light was entirely shut down and I couldn’t even see a fly in the door. The windows were already shut from the outside by someone I had no idea of and now the lights went out.

I knew I had no choice than to retire for the night, hoping tomorrow will be a better day and also I will be happy or someone will come for me and find me. An impossible wish but maybe, saying it might make it come true and I will have a chance of leaving this hell.

I lay on my left side, wincing in the dark as the chain was hitting the side of my stomach. The Dronagola was also affecting me but it wasn’t as painful as how it was earlier. With a spark of pain going around my body, I closed my eyes, forcefully sleeping.

Alpha Theodore.

Yesterday, Danna had called me in the evening, telling me that she is in Italy and will come here today.

I acted like I had no idea of why she had come here, neither did I ask with who did she come with. If I do then she will definitely suspect something is up.

That how she is, she is very clever lady that will find out the truth in a sniff. And I wasn't even bothered, because Lily is locked away far in the pack house.

Danna doenst even have an idea of where that is and they will never be able to pick up her scent due to the Dronagola. Dronagola can only be seen and be felt, not smelt.

So Danna and the witch doesn't stand a chance of knowing abut Lily here and my servant, none of them will say a word about this. I can vouch for that.

For the arrival of Danna, I have ordered for a fest to be organised and also, the room close to mine to be rearranged for her. Whenever she comes here, she stays there with my lovely nephew.

Sometimes, he is the reason why I don't even want to stain my hands. I want to be the perfect uncle he can look up to but seems it doesn't have to be that way.

The fresh aroma of rice pudding filled the house, it happens to be one of Danna’s favourite, though I am not sure of the witch. She might dislike it, I don't care. I am not doing this because of her but becaue if my sister.

"The report is ready." James said passing me a file.

I had asked him to get me report on what the witch had done and has been doing for the past years. I don't mind if he has to get everything from the day she was born, the report is all I want.

I opened the file, seeing a picture of her attached to it. She was born in 1910, in transylvania, now known as pensylvania, American.

Her mother was later killed in front of her and hence the reason why she hardly smiles. In a quest of revenge, she got tangle and that was where Lily came into the pictures. Well, it explains most of the reason she is always looking gloomy and angry.

"Thank you. Keep it on my desk in the office and keep me updated on everything going on." I told James, before he bowed and left.

"What a loyal servant you are." I mumbled across my lips before smirking.

The way I act with him has totally changed him, in a way that no one ever imagined. And he doesn't have to feel bad because he is not the only one I act that way to. Everyone gets the same expression out of me.

I was tired of staying by the balcony so I head back to my room, going straight to the bathroom to take a shower. Danna should almost be here because I sent a jet to pick them up.

The journey from South Italy to East Italy is actually up to five hours, using a car but I am really eager to see her and maybe fish out a bit information from her. Because I can't seem to get across Rebecca and I hope she is safe.

Clad in a white shirt and a blue pants, I exited the room and headed for the living room. From the noise I was hearing, Danna is here and seems she didn't come alone.

Indeed, I met Danna and the witch sitting in the living room. I tried reading the face of the witch but I couldn't. I even tried to mess with her thoughts but it was locked so I stopped trying. "Danna." I said happily and rushed to me, hugging me tightly.

I hugged her back, happy to see her after a month or so. "I missed Ty, how are you doing?" She asked, calling me with that particular nickname when I asked her not to.

"I am fine, I missed you also. Don't tell me you didn't come with my baby?" I asked, with a fake pout.

I call Thomas, my nephew my baby and then whenever I do that, Danna will ask to get married first then I can get someone to call my baby, not her child. "He has school to attend, you know and besides, I can't be taking him everywhere I want." She explained.

I left Danna, coming close to the witch and she lifted her eyes to look straight into mine. "It is a pleasure to have you here my lady." I greeted giving her right hand a kiss.

As usual, she gave my head a pat before giving me a faint smile. "What a fake smile." I said to myself.

"I heard that you couldn't get through Lily, hope you did now?" I asked, with a little amount of concern laced in my voice.

With the way she heaved a sigh and nodded her head, I knew she didn't even find a lead. "No, we went to the apartment she stays with her friend and I was told that they have been missing for days, actually the real estate agent is looking for them to renew their stay." She revealed.

Looks like Rebecca pulled it off and ran away. "South Italy is a very shady place, I know a few people there and I will call them to check if they have an idea of where we can find them." I affirmed with my lies.

I said the truth there when I said South Italy is a very shady place. East Italy is a lot better than the South and I will say it have to do with the fact that most werewolves resides in the city. "Thank you so much Theodore. I will repay in a very good way later." She vowed and I chuckled.

I led them to the dining area, knowing they might be hungry and Danna couldn't even stay still for a minutes when she asked the maid what was for lunch and she was told that it was rice pudding.

"Cheers." I said, lifting my cup, not sure of the reason behind the toast.
