Gianna

Morning came faster than I anticipated or should I say because I couldn't get a wink of sleep all through the night. I kept hearing the growling and cries of wolves through the walls of the room. Like they're in a fight with each other. I tried waking Maria but to no avail. She sleeps like a corpse. I was frightened because the sound was so intense that I felt like they will break down the walls. And on the accord, what happened behind the gates. I couldn't forget about the woman’s words. She knows something about my parents.

I only want to know one thing, if they're alive or not. Somehow my mind is telling me there's more to what I know about them. And the woman is the key to everything. I was left to leave through the gates alone. I left the same way I entered without restrictions. Yet I don't know what they're talking about it has to be on the full moon. Which is in three days. Definitely I will have to do something within that time.

Everyone was sleeping normally as if they didn't hear anything. Yet, I was left eyes wide awake. The sound later stopped when when the weather began brightening with morning.

I could feel the heaviness of my eyes due to lack of enough sleep. "Morning Gianna" Maria uttered a yawn escaping her. She looked energetic. I had to bring up the incident to make sure it wasn't hallucination.

"Morning Maria. How was your night?"

"It was great. I slept so well. You?"

"Don't tell me you didn't hear the growling and cries of wolves fighting last night?" I asked staring at her with questionable expression. It can't be only me. I don't want to tell them about my encounter. Maria had warned me already.

"Wolves fighting?" She repeated her brows creasing. I don't know whether she didn't really hear or she was trying to play pretence with me. "I didn't hear such thing" All of a sudden her eyes went wide and she cover her mouth with her palms. "Don't tell me you heard something like that?"

I was confused by the expression on her face. "Am I not supposed to hear?" I asked.

"No. I'm just surprised how you heard it" She grabbed her piece of clothing and made a walk to the bathroom only to get blocked by Vanessa. "I'm sure you know I stepped here before you" Maria said. By the looks of it, she was trying to hold herself from fighting with Vanessa.

I thought they were cool last night. I thought as much something like that will happen which is why I showered very early. I know I have a long day of work ahead of me. From the chores assigned to me to the cooking. I closed off the door of the drawer and sauntered out of the room. I was greeted with a quite surrounding. My eyes landed on the clock that was plastered on the wall of the sitting room.

It's still early in the morning. They might still be sleeping. I prefer to do my work as early as possible. I'm already used to it. Waking up early to start my morning work and Lady Hilda doesn't complain. But that doesn't change the insults she always haul at me. I contemplate whether to go up or wait for Lady Hera to come down so I could start the work.

"It's better to wait for Lady Hera to come down. She doesn't wake of up as early as you think" I flinched at the voice behind me. Claire. Her first time speaking to me. She walk past me towards the direction of the kitchen before I could speak up. I guess my work here will be different from how I used to do back at Mega pack. I turned back to the room. Maria has already changed into a new set of dress. I didn't fail to notice how it hugged all over her curves.

"Wanted telling you that Lady Hera doesn't wake up early. When I came out of the bathroom you were gone"

"Yeah. Claire told me. So I will just wait when she's up then I will start my work" She nodded in answer.

"Mrs. Rosa should be in the kitchen preparing for breakfast. That woman acts like a ghost sometimes" I couldn't hold in my laughter.

"Why do you say that though?" I found her statement funny even before knowing the reason behind it.

"She wakes up very early. The first place she visits is the kitchen. Like it's her second home"

Well maybe she enjoy cooking that's why. If you love something, you dedicate your time to that particular thing. I don't blame her for that. That's what she love.

"What are you guys gossiping about. Let me in" Maria and I turned to look at Vanessa at the same time.

Maria said nothing and I did the same. Instead left the room. Fifteen minutes have passed already. She should be up by now. I sunk in a deep breath when I found Lady Hera seated on the sofa sipping what I assumed as coffee or tea. "Good Morning Lady Hera" I commenced as I made my way towards her.

"Morning Gianna. Hope you had a great night?"

"Yes. I did Ma'am"

"Very good. Hope you're ready to start your work today?" She asked sipping on her tea.

"Yes Ma'am" I answered forming my lips into a thin line.

"Alright. You can go ahead and start" I nodded before walking my way upstairs. I started with the guest room first. There wasn't much dust in the room. I don't even know why it has to be cleaned everyday. Since no one is living inside.

After I'm done with the guest room, I took charge to Lady Hera's room. Her room was big enough to occupy two set of bed. The room wasn't that neat. Stuffs here and there. Bedroom slippers out of place. Her vanity mirror was unkept too. I had to think back to what Maria told me about her coming from a rich family. You could tell by how the room was. I wasted no time In tidying up the room not staying to dwell on the beauty of the room.

By the time I came down, I was met with Alpha and Lady Hera. "Good Morning Sir"

"Morning. Gianna right?" I wanted to roll my eyes. Is it that he's not sure of my name or he just want to say that.

Nevertheless, I formed my lips into a thin line and answered him. "Yes Sir"

"Good. Keep up the good work"

"Are you done cleaning?" Lady Hera asked.

"Yes Ma'am" Silence follows. I took the gesture to walk away. To give them their privacy. Instead of going to the room, I sauntered to the kitchen. The first thing I heard when I step my foot inside was a singing voice.

Mrs. Rosa singing while she do the dishes. I will have to say she has a nice voice. She doesn't seem to notice me even when I marched my way forward leaning my back on the center table.

"We're glowing in the dark turning dust to gold" She sang dragging the lyric. Before I know it I was lightly tapping my foot on the floor.

She finally turned around and her singing came to a halt. "You? What are you doing here?" She asked.

"For a while. I see you're enjoying a time of yourself"

She wiped off her wet hands with the table napkin. "Well, that's how I work. This is really keeping me company" She fished out her phone from her apron pocket. My eyes traveled to her ears that were occupied with Airpods.

Wow.

"You have a nice voice though"

"Thank you dear. But why didn't you say anything when you came in?

"Yes. I didn't want to disturb you"

"Well it's new. All the rest of the girls stick to disturbing me. Do you know what they call me?" Somehow I felt my body relax by how free she was talking to me. But last night she looked like someone that will murder you with her glares.

I shake my head in no. "They call me the kitchen ghost" She hushed out. I didn't know when a laughter escaped me.

The look she gave me made me compose myself. I have almost forgotten that it wasn't a joke for me to laugh. "I'm sorry Mrs. Rosa" I uttered in a calm tone.

"It's okay. That's actually funny. They thought I don't know about it. I'm waiting for the day one of them will mistakenly blurt it out"

"I'm sure they won't" I defended even though I'm not sure. Maria just finished telling me about it earlier. She can literally say that to her face.

"Including you" I raised my hands in surrender.

"Sorry for laughing"

"It's fine. I enjoy my work. So I don't really bother myself with what they say. Hope you're done with your work?"

I sunk in a deep breath. "Yes. It wasn't that much"

"It wasn't?" She repeated her brows rising in question.

"Yes. I'm used to it already. I normally wake up early in the morning to start my work. I found it more peaceful and fast"

"That's good. Unlike the lazy girls we have in the house. Especially Selena"

Selena doesn't look like someone who would put her hands into work. Likewise Lady Hera. "You look like a strong girl to me. Somehow, I feel like you will not be like the other girls" I didn't know how to react to what to said. It's new hearing someone call me a strong girl. Maybe living here won't be that bad. Will it?

**

Maria and I went our for jogging again. I followed her on purpose. Possibly to examine the surrounding. You wouldn't know a big house was set behind the tree. The morning walk didn't take us that much time. The moment we stepped inside, I heaved out a sigh I didn't know I was holding in. "Where did you guys went off to"  The voice of Lady Hera beat through our eardrums.

"We went out for some jogging since we're done with our morning works"

"Oh is that so?" She said her eyes shifting to me. Somehow, I felt my heart escalate by the look she gave me.  "Gianna, you're done with your work too?" Her question came as a surprise to me. Last time I checked I reported to her earlier.

"Yes Ma'am" I answered as calmly I could muster.

"I didn't know you were a liar" My eyes instantly went wide at her remark. Liar? How?

"I don't get what you're trying to say Lady Hera"

"Ofcourse you won't. You prefer to go out for some nonsense jogging than to do your work right?. Why isn't my room cleaned yet?"

Maria spared each other a glance in surprise. It was the hardest part to clean because everything is unkept. "Ma'am maybe your're mistaken but I tidied the room. And even informed you when I was done"

"I'm mistaken you say?" She sounded pissed. "Follow me then. Maybe if you see for yourself you will come back to your senses" She spat.

Maria was as confused as I was. I had no idea what the woman was talking about. What more polishing does she want for her room.

I waited in anticipation to see the room. And when she pushed the door open, for the life of me, I was shocked. "Kindly explain to me what you mean by you've tidied the room" Lady Hera almost seethe beside me.

"I-" I opened my mouth to speak but no words were able to make themselves out. I was in shock. How did that happen? I know I cleaned up the room.

"Cat got your tongue now? I didn't know underneath that innocent face was a liar"

"Ma'am. I can ex-"

"Explain what. A lowly omega will always be a lowly omega" That words alone was enough to send more bitterness inside me. "Get your legs off here and do the needful" She seethe walking past me.

    One year laterFreyaI watched my reflection on the mirror contented with my dressing. I'm writing my final exams. You know that feeling when you're about to graduate from school. The feelings settled at the pit of my stomach. The door was pushed open. Came in view my mom. "Are you going to take forever in there. Today is not your graduation day." I couldn't help but chuckle at her words. It's not my graduation day but it will soon be. "Coming Mom. Give me two minutes""Alright. Be fast. Your father is coming over" A smile break at my lips at the mention of my father. He's trying his best to be a good father to me and a good husband to mom. I respect that gesture. I sprayed some perfume before grabbing my bag and phone from the bed and made a way out before Mom throws another fit. And she did. "I'm sorry" Was the only thing I said with a small smile. My father was waiting outside when we got out. "Morning Dad" I uttered packing him on the cheeks. "Morning my dear. I see you're we

    ADRYANI woke up feeling excited today, knowing that this was the day I have been waiting for. Today, I was going to propose to Freya. But before I could do that, I knew I had to settle things with Keenan.So, I quickly got dressed in a pair of black jeans and a white shirt, then headed out to meet Keenan. As I approached him, he looked up and immediately stood up to greet me."Hey, man," I said, extending my hand."Hey," he replied, shaking my hand.We stood there for a moment, both of us feeling a bit awkward. But then, I took a deep breath and began to speak."Listen, Keenan," I said, "I know we've had our differences in the past, but I want to put all of that behind us. I want us to be on good terms."Keenan looked at me skeptically. "Why the sudden change of heart?""I just realized that life is too short to hold grudges, I know also you care for Freya to let me be the one to come between you two" I replied honestly. "And besides, I have more important things to worry about now."

    AdryanI woke up feeling a mix of emotions. On one hand, I was excited to see my girlfriend's parents today and hopefully gain their approval for our marriage. On the other hand, I knew I had to confront my own father about my decision to marry Freya instead of Sapphire.As I walked into my father's office, I took a deep breath and braced myself for the worst. "Dad, we need to talk," I said firmly.He looked up from his desk, his expression stern. "What is it, Adryan?""I've made a decision," I said, trying to keep my voice steady. "I'm going to marry Freya."My father's face turned red with anger. "You're going to what?!" he shouted. "You can't be serious, Adryan. Freya's family is our enemy. Marrying her would be a betrayal to our pack and everything we stand for."I stood my ground, feeling a sense of confidence I had never felt before. "I understand your concerns, Dad," I said, "but I love Freya and I want to spend the rest of my life with her. And if that means choosing between h

I knew I had to do something huge today, but before I could make any moves, I needed to see Caleb to fill me in on all the details.I arrived at his house, and he welcomed me with open arms. We sat down, and he began to tell me everything that had been going on, things that I wasn't even aware of. I was shocked at how Sapphire had played me, and the fact that she had threatened Caleb."I can't believe I fell for her lies," I said, shaking my head in disbelief.I arrived at Caleb's house and knocked on the door. He opened the door and welcomed me in. We sat down on the couch and he asked me what was going on."Adryan, what brings you here so early in the morning?" Caleb asked."I need to know everything that has been happening. I had no idea Sapphire was lying about being pregnant," I replied.Caleb looked at me with a mix of surprise and concern. "Adryan, I didn't want to be the one to tell you this, but Sapph

    FREYAI woke up with a heavy heart and a lot of anxiety. I knew that the decision I was about to make would change everything. I needed some guidance and support, so I decided to go see my father in his office.I walked into my father's office, and my eyes widened in surprise. The room was exquisite, with high ceilings and huge windows that let in an abundance of natural light. The walls were painted in a soft shade of cream, and there were beautiful paintings and photographs hanging on them.In the center of the room was a large mahogany desk, with a plush leather chair behind it. The desk was neat and tidy, with a few files and papers arranged neatly in a pile. There were two comfortable armchairs positioned in front of the desk, facing it.On the walls, there were shelves filled with books of all genres, from business and finance to fiction and biographies. The shelves were organized neatly, with some books stacked horizontally and others vertically.There was a large rug on the fl

We had not spoken in a while, ever since Adryan broke up with me.She came to me to tell me about her undying love for Adryan and how they were meant to be together. I didn't want to hear any of it, but she kept pushing and pushing, telling me how they were fated to be together and that nothing would ever come between them."Hey, Freya.
