(Elina)“I…well… I don't think so… I can handle it,” I said, moving backwards, Florence just barged into my room with two women she introduced as Sara and Lucy. Sara was the youngest and looked rather timid. She had her head bowed the entire time, as if afraid someone might scold her. Shifting my gaze to Lucy, she was slightly an old lady with sharp eyes. White silver hair neatly tied in a bun and was wearing a gray skirt reaching below her knees and a tuck-in white shirt with a gray coat. Some black canvas as well.“Elina, the king ordered you to be given servants to wait on you… madam Lucy and Sara will be your servants. Lucy has been working for this family for so long…” Florence said, as if trying to make me understand. I didn't need servants around me. Why would the king do that?“But…bathing me… I mean I… I can do that…,” it sounded insane to learn I had to be bathed, I was a fully grown woman, and I didn't need anyone seeing my nakedness.“I know, but the king considers you as
“And what is this?” Jasmine asked sarcastically, she was in a bad mood and having her little sister bother her was not something she wanted.“It looks like a medallion… or some pedant…the point is I saw this around Elina's neck,” Gracey said, showing a chain dangling between her thumb and forefinger. Jasmine wasn't interested in anything that had to do with Elina. “I don't need a useless thing okay… all I want is to talk to my mom,” Jasmine averted her eyes, she had never felt so useless as she was feeling. Elina was turning out to be a big deal around the werewolves. Earlier, she had gone to the kitchen and asked some servants to serve her. Unfortunately, she was asked to do things herself. Even Florence said everything was out of her hands.“You don't understand sis, this is the alpha's necklace,”, Gracey said ignoring her sister. Only at the mention of the alpha did Jasmine turn around, nearly falling from the sofa and snatched the chain from Gracey.“Really, how did you get it… I
(Elina)We arrived at the same creepy mansion as before. This time I was stunned to find it a lot more lively, the interior had been swept and spotless. Well decorated and scented with nice-smelling fragrances. I walked around the living room and was impressed. The various servants moving around and doing work amazed me.“Madam Lucy, why did you follow me? I mean I can take care of myself,” I asked when the old lady came to the living room and placed a vase on the glass table.“We must make sure you are properly taken care of…” the lady said with a smile, I was interested in knowing more about her. She was polite and calm, something about she reminded me of my mom.“If you care about me…then tell me what the alpha is like,” I said, leaning against the chair. The alpha just dropped me off and disappeared. I wondered where he went. Even Oliver was nowhere to be seen. The mansion was big and lonely, although with servants who minded their own business, “My dear. He's a busy man… He bare
Elina heaved a silent relief when finally the alpha let her out of the barrier. She had watched what had gone down and knew the alpha was not someone to mess with. The person who sent his wolves to attack Angel knew exactly what he was up against. Standing tall unscathed was Angel, his sharp claws buried deep in the hand's chest that Elina feared he would rip his heart out with his bare hands. The man was lean and well-built. Unfortunately, not even his muscles could save him from the vicious king. His friends suffered some worse than death. “Go on…hahaha kill me, just know this…you'll fall and we will rise as the rulers!” The man said with mocking laughter when he turned back into a human after a vicious attack from the king, which left him coughing out blood as he fisted the grass and crawled to his feet. His entire face was covered in red liquid dripping down his body. “Ripping your little heart out is nothing, how dare you invade my territory" “The one who sent you signed your de
“Who did it?” Oliver panicked when the two girls called him inside. Elina was lying unconscious. Both Hazel and Violet were panicking. Afraid of what just happened to her.“We…we didn't do anything okay…she just fainted,” Hazel stammered as she paced back and tried to call for a doctor. Elina was getting pale by the minute. Nothing was working.“I'm sure there's a way… she's too cold,” Violet muttered as she felt Elina's forehead with the back of her hand. Her skin was as cold as ice. Her pulse was faint. Violet was worried about Elina… something was wrong with her.“I already called someone…you two should pray nothing happens to her,” Oliver said disdainfully only to get eyed by Violet“You know…why don't you call him here…call that monster of an alpha,” Violet remarked bitterly as she rose from the bed. Her sharp eyes were fixed on Oliver, giving her a sour look.“Umm, Violet…we just escaped prison, remember?” Hazel muttered, reminding Violet of what she was saying about the werewol
(Elina)“Please have this?”“Am I sick… how long have I been sleeping…where are Hazel and Violet?” I asked while scanning the room I woke up in. Reaching for my head, why was it heavy? Madam Lucy was giving me some pills with a glass of water.“You fainted, the doctor said you should take some meds to make you feel better,” the lady said with a smile, glancing at her hand. I didn't know what to say. How come I had no collection of what happened, or what caused me to pass out? Massaging my head, I nodded and took the two white pills from her and quickly popped them in my mouth and gulped down the water to wash them down.“That's good… I made breakfast, but I'm not sure what you will love” the lady remarked with a small frown plastered on her face. For a while, I was staring at her. She seemed to be hiding something from me.“Umm, anything will do,” I said, and I was about to crawl out of bed when she stopped me.“The king said you should rest… ““I'm fine, I'm not sick that I'm certain
“Let me help you ma'am, are you okay?,” Elina said and helped the old lady pack the fruits and vegetables which fell from her basket in the middle of the road. “Dear, I'll be fine…it's nothing,” the woman said while gathering her squashed tomatoes, Elina felt sorry for her. She was old and could barely stand on her own. Even so, she was energetic. A beautiful round face with a few freckles on her cheeks. Her bright brown eyes shone with loneliness, and her smile was as beautiful as hers. Despite her gray hair, Elina found the lady's appearance quite appealing“Here, I'll help you,” Elina said and packed most of the fruit. She didn't know there existed people who were so cruel, the road was busy, and she was crossing the road when some insane driver nearly ran her over.“Young lady, it's not necessary… I can manage,” the lady said, shaking her head and holding the basket in her arms“Come I'll drop you off, don't worry… I'm not bad,” Elina coaxed with a smile, the lady was helpless. T
The Perkins mansion was lit aglow with bright lights since the day was slowly turning to darkness. Elina's mom walked into the room her eldest daughter was in, accompanied by Violet. The two shut the door and proceeded in. Like every time, Leah was awake and resting her back against the headboard. Elina's mom sat on the bed beside her while Violet stood to the side, She brought some warm soup for her. If Elina wasn't gone. She'd be the one attending to her elder sister."Her condition is getting much worse… Aunt is there another way… I'm afraid she isn't going to last,” Violet said, seeing how thin Leah had become. Even her eyes, which used to be bright and big had seemed tired. Elina's mom knew what was happening. Eventually, her daughter was going to be no more. The pain of losing both hurt her more than anything, “She'll be fine,” Elina's mom muttered while coaxing her daughter to eat something. The sadness in her eyes was like a sharp knife piercing her heart. “Elina is trying a
