“We’re so glad that you chose to stay here,” Queen Grace greeted me as soon as I went inside their mansion.I nodded my head. “I’ll be staying here for the entire month with my guard, Matthew. Thank you for accommodating us.”“No need to thank us. We have already prepared everything for your stay. Matthew will be staying in one of the rooms on the first floor.”“Thank you,” Matthew bowed.“On the other hand, I prepared your room upstairs, Enzo,” she smiled. “Just right across Isabelle’s room.”“Alright,” I said. Although I would much prefer to stay here downstairs with Matthew, I was thankful that Isabelle and I didn’t have to share a room with each other.“Well then, let us lead you to your rooms.”The servants escorted Matthew to his room while Queen Grace led me to mine.“Your room is right here,” she said. “I hope you enjoy your stay. If you have any concerns, don’t hesitate to knock on Isabelle’s door. You can even stay in her room if you’d like,” she said in a joking manner. Although, I don’t think she’s joking.I entered the room and got changed into the clothes they provided for me. My father said that someone would come to bring my belongings here tomorrow, so currently, I have none.I was bored and was still not sleepy, so I got up from bed and decided to walk around.I walked down the hallway, when I suddenly saw a picture frame that contained the royal family.I immediately recognized the ones that I met this morning, but there were three other people who were in the picture.This picture appeared to have been taken when Isabelle was still a child, and next to her, was someone I didn’t meet.Who is she?***KEILAH“Are you sure it’s okay for me to go? I can visit my mom another time,” Weston said.I shook my head. “You already promised her that you’d go this month. Besides, you didn’t go last month! She’ll be upset if you don’t keep your promise again.”“But you’ll be all alone!”“And I’ll be fine. I’m not a child,” I told him. “I have Lucky with me anyway.”He sighed. “Then, I’ll be back in three days.”“See you in three days,” I smiled.With that, he left the house and went to the nearest bus station to go to visit his mom, who lived in the common area outside of the castle.When I was sure he was gone, I decided to play with Lucky and maybe make him another toy.“Lucky!” I called his name, sitting down next to his usual spot.“Lucky, my boy. Come here,” I patted my lap. I knew that he wouldn’t be able to resist my lap, so I anticipated his arrival.However, when I called his name once more, he still didn’t go on my lap.That’s when I knew that something was wrong.I stood up from the couch and wandered around the house.“Oww,” I exclaimed when my knees hit the table. I was sure that this would bruise later on, but I didn’t care. Lucky was far more important.When I was at my lowest point in life—when my mate rejected me, Lucky came into my life. That’s why I can’t afford to lose him.Without any hesitation, I opened the door to my cottage and started shouting his name.“Lucky! Come home, boy,” I said, wandering around the gardens.I bumped into quite a lot of structures along the way, but I continued on.“Lucky!”I gasped in surprise when I bumped into another structure. However, this seemed to be some kind of deja vu—like it had already happened before.“Shit,” he muttered under his breath, and I immediately recognized who it was.I pushed him away and took a step back.“You, again?” I exclaimed. “What are you doing here?”Enzo sighed. “I’m staying here in the meantime. I should be the one asking you why you’re here. Shouldn’t you be at the castle if you’re a servant?”I looked to the side and didn’t speak.Then, I felt him walking closer to me. So, I held onto my cloak tightly and shook my head.“I’m not going to take off your cloak,” he said. However, I still didn’t let go.“What are you doing here all alone, anyway?”“I’m looking for my cat,” I softly said. “He’s not in the cottage.”“Oh, that fluffy monster?”“He’s not a monster,” I defended. “He’s—he’s important to me.”“I knew that cat looked familiar,” he suddenly said, causing my heart to swell with hope.“You’ve seen him?” I asked.“Yeah,” he said. “He went to the fields, I guess. I saw him there a while ago—“I didn’t even let him finish.I ran off in the direction of the field and called his name.“Lucky!”I felt a fluffy creature on my foot, causing me to sigh in relief.“There you are,” I kneeled down. “You gave me a hard time looking for you. Let’s go home, hmm? We’re already too far away from the cottage.”I didn’t carry him on the way back since I knew that he could walk back home by himself.We didn’t even make it past the fields when I heard a familiar voice speak from behind me.“Well, if it isn’t our precious cousin,” Nolan said, causing me to stop in my tracks.I felt Lucky run away from the scene, so I tried to run after him, but I felt someone pulling my shoulder back.I pursed my lips together as I felt the pain erupt on my shoulder.“Let go, please,” I muttered under my breath.“What was that? I can't hear you,” Sofia chuckled. “I thought you were just blind. I didn’t know you were mute, too.”They erupted into laughter. I wanted nothing but to escape from them right then and there, but before I even knew it, they had already surrounded me. I could feel their tall heights hovering over my figure, and no matter how hard I fought, I probably would still lose.“Aww, are you trying to escape?” Evelyn taunted. “I’m afraid there’s no escaping us, dear cousin.”“Ew,” Sofia said. “Don’t call her our cousin! We don’t have such a pitiful member in our family.”“Look,” she added, walking over to me to yank on my cloth. I held onto it before it could fall off my face. “She even has this pathetic cloak over her face to cover its ugliness.”“Please,” I said. “I’m on my way home. I’ll go peacefully, if you’d let me.”“Well, where’s the fun in that?” Nolan chuckled. “We haven’t seen you in such a long time. I think it’s best if we give you a welcome ceremony.”I felt my heart skip a beat.I felt defenseless.“Why don’t we give her a present?” Sofia giggled. “Let’s give her a home that she deserves.”I gasped as they started pushing my body.“No—please,” I begged.“Ah,” Evelyn sighed. “It feels nice to have you again, Keilah. With your unfrequent visits, we don’t have anyone to mess with anymore.”“True,” Nolan said. “I also don’t have someone to shine my shoes during events.”“Since she’s missed so many duties, let’s punish her, shall we?” Sofia excitedly exclaimed.They finally stopped pushing.“Here,” Evelyn said. “I think this’ll be a perfect place for her.”“Where are we?” I asked.“Your new home,” Sofia said.And with that, they pushed me—my body toppling down onto something wet.I gasped in surprise as the thick, slushy, and cold mud made contact with my skin.I can't stand these cousins! And Keilah really is too kind for her own good.
KEILAHI felt tears brimming in my eyes as I felt the cold mud against my skin.I tried standing up, but the mud only pulled me down, causing me to sit back down with a pathetic splattering sound. I tried this a couple more times, but they only resulted in the same event. My cousins’ laughter resounded once more, continually teasing me for my struggles. I turned toward their direction.“Can you—can you help me please?” I asked, swallowing my pride.As much as I tried, I don’t think I’ll be able to get out of here without anybody else’s help.“But you look so comfortable!” Evelyn exclaimed. “We’ll leave for a while, so try to enjoy your stay, alright?”“Wh—what?” I stammered. “You’re going to leave me here?”They chuckled, then I heard their chattering and chuckles becoming more and more distant. “Wait! Help me out!” I exclaimed, but they continued to ignore my words. After a few seconds, everything turned silent, so I knew that they were already gone—and I was all alone in this mud
Trigger Warning: This chapter contains mature sexual content. Read at your own discretion. ENZO I don't even know what I'm doing back here. I stared at the humble cottage right before my eyes and shook my head in disbelief. I just wanted to walk around since I felt suffocated in the mansion, but before I even knew it, my feet led me here—back to the blind omega's cottage. Keilah—that's her name. I heard it after that Weston guy called for her. "Fuck," I muttered under my breath. I should head back and forget about her existence. She's an omega—the kind that I hate, and I shouldn't let my beliefs be swayed just because I'm curious about what she looks like. I turned away from the cottage and started walking back, when I smelled the familiar scent of peach getting stronger and stronger than before. I frowned. That's fucking strange. Why does her scent smell even sweeter than usual? Am I hallucinating? It turns out, I wasn't hallucinating; because the next thing I knew, I
KEILAHI opened my eyes as I felt the sunlight trickling from the windows. Then, pain erupted in my body.At that moment, I also remembered everything that had happened last night. It was hazy, but I still remember his touch.Enzo.I uttered his name over and over again as he pleasured my body. I was in my heat, and that was the very first time that someone had helped me get through it.That’s when the tears came streaming down my face. He saw my face, and I clearly remember the way he didn’t even let me kiss him last night.I didn’t have any clothes on except for the blanket he had left me. Even at this point, I can still smell his scent on my body.“You’ve got what you wanted,” his last words echoed in the back of my mind.What does he mean by that?Is he insinuating that I was using my heat against him? If that is what he’s thinking, then he’s wrong. I know that it’s not an excuse that I wasn’t in my right mind, but still, he’s also one to blame for how the situation panned out.
KEILAH "What?" I asked, his words not registering in my mind yet. Servant? "I said—be my servant. Is that too hard to comprehend?" he asked. "But, why me?" I asked. "I didn't do anything wrong to you." He chuckled coldly, taking a step forward. I felt his body right in front of me, yet I couldn't move. The power he was emanating was too much that it made me weak in the knees. "You said you'd do anything, right?" I pursed my lips together and looked to the side. "Don't involve Keilah in any of this," Weston interrupted. "You've already done enough. Face me like a man." "Then, face me in a battle," he said in a cocky voice. "I'm not that hard to please. Whatever you say, goes." "Fine," Weston said. "It's not like I can't beat you anyway." I closed my eyes to think for a second. "When will it be?" Weston challenged. "As soon as possible," Enzo said. "I'll do it," I said, interrupting their conversation. "What?" Weston snapped. "Are you out of your mind, Keilah?" Enz
KEILAHI let out a tired sigh as I wiped my sweat with my cloak. Enzo ordered me to wash all his clothes, and the amount of clothes he has for a month's stay is honestly ridiculous. I don't even know why he wants me to wash all his clothes again when they've been newly sent-out by his family. But, I couldn't really defy his words, so I just let it be. He also wants me to hand wash all of these, which just makes it more difficult. It's a good thing that Marilyn helped me separate the colored clothes from the white ones; otherwise, I don't even know how I'd manage. "Last batch," I muttered under my breath, trying to cheer myself up. I tried convincing myself that this is nothing compared to everything I've been through. I got up from the small chair and stretched my back after I finished washing the clothes. I only had to rinse them one more time, so I excitedly tipped over the soapy water down the drain to replace it with clean water. However, as I went to fetch some clean water,
ENZO"Holy shit," he muttered under his breath.My gaze strayed over to Keilah and saw that her cloak had been slightly blown away by the breeze. Despite the fair distance, her beauty couldn't be hidden.Her hair blew against the wind, and her eyes shone under the bright sun. Her eyes widened in surprise as she tried to place her cloak back on. "What the fuck?" Matthrew exclaimed. "Is that really Keilah? She's beautiful!"I frowned and looked away from the scene. "She's alright," I said. "Alright?" Matthew asked. "Have you seen her face? I can't believe I assumed that she looked ugly when she literally looks like that. You must really have high standards if you think she's just alright. She's even prettier than all the other princesses combined."I didn't know why I was being agitated by the way he spoke about Keilah, so I sighed and crossed my arms in front of my chest. "I'll head inside. I still have something to let her do.""What?" he asked. "What else could you possible make he
KEILAH Our conversation came to a halt as Enzo entered the room.My shoulders stiffened with his presence. Couldn’t he have gone out with Isabelle for longer? Fortunately, Matthew was with me, and he chuckled as a response.“You’re back home?” he asked. “I thought you would be back by the evening.”Enzo hummed. “You didn’t answer my question. What are you two doing?”Matthew sighed. “We’re washing your clothes.”He was silent for a while, then I felt him walking over my way. “You’re still not finished?” he asked. I underestimated how close he was as I felt his hot breath brush over my forehead.I pursed my lips together. “An accident happened, sir,” I explained. “And we had to wash your clothes once again.”He sighed in frustration, and I honestly felt quite anxious.“What can you even do right? You actually asked my royal guard to help you with your incompetence?”“It’s not like that,” Matthew tried to explain. “She was diligently doing her chores when—“He didn’t even finish his
KEILAH "Phew," Marilyn said after we finished folding Alpha Enzo's clothes. Fortunately, I was able to get some of her help. Otherwise, I would have been here all night long. "Thank you, Marilyn," I said. She chuckled and patted my head. "It's no worries," she said. "I'm glad I could help you. Are you going to bring this to Alpha Enzo's room now?" I shook my head. "I'll do it tomorrow. He might be asleep now, and I don't really want to disturb him." "Alright," she said. "Then, do you want to head to the maids' quarters for a bit to freshen up? I heard you don't have any water in your room." "Yeah," I looked down at the ground. "Queen Grace locked the bathroom of the guest room. I guess she really doesn't want me to be there." "To hell with that woman," she said. "Marilyn!" I exclaimed. "She may hear you, you know?" "She doesn't come here," she said. "In fact, none of the royal family members come down here anyway. They're all too pristine and spoiled to be doing chores." I
