Jane
Everything was like magic. The bed was the first thing I saw which had my eyes watering up. It had seven pillows at the head of the bed. The covers were enough to cover me up during winter and it would keep me warm.
I remembered my old bed and I suddenly remembered that I had not even slept in a bed in years now.
I had either been on the floor or on a mat which did not help my body. I was lucky I was a werewolf or I would have been deformed by the awkward sleeping spaces I had to be confined in.
Since I healed really quickly I did not have any trouble having to sleep in a confined space as I would be okay within a few hours of getting up.
My eyes darted to the shelf which had a flower vase with multiple books in them.
I could not remember having books in my possession in the former house. I was always denied having everything. From nice clothes to books to shoes. Heck I didn’t even have a phone or have the luxury of using any of the technology in the house.
I had to be pushed aside and used as a slave after my parents died. It was almost like my parents were disposable and I was no longer part of the family.
I sighed while thinking of the past. I was still living in my slavery as I had been sold out anyway.
I looked to the east wing of the bed to see the drawers which had so much pen and paper with a telephone stuck to it. A dragon shaped lamp was there which I could guess was motion activated.
The couch by the windows had me entering the room slowly to make sure it was not a trap.
“You’re still here,” I heard someone say as I jumped in fear, turning around to see Gail with a trolley in her possession.
“Oh,” I inhaled sharply trying to calm myself down. “I was waiting for you to come and take me to my room.”
She had widened eyes. I could see how beautiful she was. Why would the man who had gotten me from my uncle want me when he could have her?
She was just as pretty and I could see from the jewels she had on she was either being paid well or was from a rich family, although why she would want to live in this place and serve was beyond me.
“This is the room ma’am,” she smiled, easing up as she entered with the trolley which I eyed. It contained lush foods from different seas. I could see crabs, lobsters, fishes and even eels.
I gulped as I had not seen this coming.
“You can’t be serious,” I said while still eyeing the food which she pushed to me. I stared at her with a question. “What… what are you doing? Who do I have to serve?”
“This is for you, silly,” she smiled. “By the gods you’re really making my job harder than the others. This is your food. I had to leave you here to get it only to come back and find you still standing by the door. Is everything alright?”
The urge to tell her everything I had in me overwhelmed me as I opened my mouth but decided against it.
I was not going to trust anyone. I was here as nothing more than an item. No one was going to see me as anything more than what I truly was.
‘That’s not true,’ Nala my wolf countered. She was the only one who truly understood how I felt everyday and she was always there to motivate me to keep going forward.
With everything I had gone through it was a miracle she had not broken. She was still as strong as ever while I was just… there.
“So…” I smiled, feeling my eyes water up as I cleaned it with the back of my hands, walking to the windows. “These are beautiful.”
“Are you sure you’re okay? Shall I call you a healer or tell the alpha about…”
I did not know much about the alpha and even when he had seemed nice a few minutes ago, I could not trust him with me.
Sullivan had been nice to me the first few times as leader of the pack but now I could consider him a monster and I would not be lying.
“Ma’am?” The woman before me called as I came back to reality. “Is everything okay?”
I had not been asked that before, at least not after my parents died. I was seen as a mistake and I was seen as one who was not to exist.
“I’m fine,” I finally found my voice. I would not be treated like a queen on the first day and be treated like a worthless slave the next. I had to be on alert and be ready for whatever came next.
Nothing was permanent and most especially how good this place was. It was too good to be true.
“Alright, I will leave the trolley here and your clothes will be brought for you soon. The other maids have gone to the market to buy them so give them some time.
“Now if there is anything you want, use the telephone by the drawer and call me. I will be your assistant from now on. If you want me changed it will also be possible and you will have someone else by your side.”
That was a lot to take in as she smiled before bowing and walking out of the room.
I stood in the middle of the room expecting her to come in and tell me it was a joke but after five minutes of continuous waiting I decided that it was real.
‘What the fuck just happened?’ my wolf asked, as she was just as shocked as I was.
SinclairI looked out of the window with my hands held behind my back. I was enjoying the view while also thinking of the young woman who had been in the room with me.She intrigued me but I didn’t know why.She had called me by my stage name or should I say my monstrous name and it had been a sad thing to hear it from her lips. I thought I had gone past that stage of my life where I would still be remembered by my savage past but the rumors had kept up and I wasn’t about to change it.The door opened as I turned to see Gail, the head maid, get into the study. “Did you take her to my room?” I asked the maid as she stared at me silent and in confusion. I immediately knew something was wrong. “Gail, did you take her to my room or did you drop her in a random room?”“My apologies master Sinclair,” she said. “I had no idea that is what you said.”“Gail, you need to listen to me every time I mindlink with you and give orders.”“Yes sir.”“It is very important.”“I understand sir.”“This
JaneWatching him standing there with his hands in his pockets had me wondering if I was even going to make it out of here alive.I had his aura battering me around and my heartbeat increased. I had the fight or flight response causing my feet to get jumpy but I couldn’t fight him as I didn’t have the strength for it. I could make a run for it but how far would I get before I would be caught?“So tell me,” he walked to me with a straight face. “What seems to be the problem?”I looked at the food and the room, scared for what he would do to me if I talked.The beatings I used to receive at home paled in comparison with what I would receive here if he caught a hold of me.He was going to destroy me and watch me scream for help.“I don’t have time for this, so you had better start talking,” he sounded pissed.“Why am I here?”“Isn’t it obvious?”“I know, but… why am I here? Why did you choose me?”“You were available.”“Can I leave?”“You belong to me now.”“I don’t want to. I’m not a pe
SinclairWhile talking to her I found her eyes shifting away from me from time to time. Even when I would order that she looked at me, she would still find a way to avert her gaze.This frustrated me seeing as she was supposed to be my mate. I walked to her to hold her hand as she stopped talking, her heartbeat racing.I felt a spark tingle on the tips of my fingers and I immediately knew I felt a mating bond.‘Did you feel that? Because I felt that,’ my wolf said within me.I was sure I had not been mistaken in the slightest. This was clearly a mating bond.This meant that my search had come to an end.She took her hands away from mine as she shuddered backwards. I could see that she was still scared, but who could blame her. What I had been called over the years was enough to make anyone afraid.I was only a monster and an out of control beast to those who challenged my pack. I was a father and a leader to my own people, protecting them from harm and showing them that I could be tr
Victoria“Gail!” I yelled when I entered the palace. “Gail! Where is that woman?”I walked up the stairs, tossing my bags and groceries to the maids who lined up to receive them.I heard a thud as I turned back to see a celery on the floor. The maid who was supposed to catch it frightened and shivering where she stood.“You’re fired,” I said as the maid started to cry. I turned to see Gail before me. “You scared me for a second.”My heartbeat had already increased as I looked at her and noticed there was something amiss.“Welcome back my lady,” she smiled. “You cannot fire her my lady as that is my job to do. She is fired only when her crime has been reported to me and she has been deemed unworthy of her position.”“Who made you head of the maids?” I scoffed.“The alpha did. It’s in my name, Gail, the head of the maids.”This had me rolling my eyes as I stepped forward, my heels clanking against the tiles when I got hit by it again.I stopped to turn around and face the maid. “What is
Victoria's pov“Give it to me straight Gail,” I said while taking off my coat to give to a maid. “Who is she? Where is she from? What does she want? And is she pregnant? Give it to me straight.”I had called the head maid into my room to question her and learn about the strange woman I had seen in the alphas room. There had to be an explanation for it.“I am not under any obligation to answer you ma’am,” she said with a smile. “I only answer to Alpha Sinclair.”“I am the Luna you twat.”“It has not been officially stated. You are only his mate.”“Do you dare to insult me and look down on me?”“I do not ma’am. I am only stating what we all know is true. If you have a problem with the other lady and if you have any questions then I suggest you tell the alpha about it.”“Get out this instant!” I growled as the woman bowed before leaving. I looked at the maids standing around the bed in anger. “And what are you three doing here? Get out!”They all bowed before leaving the room as I paced
Victoria“Go get me something else!” I yelled at the maid who scurried off.“Please tell me why you’re shouting at the maid is basically because of the drink and nothing else,” a voice said behind me as I turned to see my best friend, Ava.I smiled briefly before showing her a seat before me.“Here is your drink ma’am,” the maid said as I sipped it and liked this one better.“Good, now go get my friend the same drink,” I ordered to the woman who bowed before scurrying off.“What’s got you nippy today?” She smiled. “Are you okay?”“I am not,” I sighed, dropping the cup on the table. “It turns out my…”I suddenly remembered the threat Sinclair had made as I wondered if telling Ava would be dangerous.“Come on,” she noticed my hesitation. “You can tell me. It’s not like I’m someone else.”“Fine,” I sighed. “Sinclair brought a random girl into the palace to be his mate from what I can sense. Can you imagine the effrontery? He could not even respect our bond.”“Why are you acting surprised
JaneWhen Sinclair took me into the room I watched him walk to the window to stand with his hands clasped together like he was thinking.“Can we talk about what just happened out there?”I asked. “Who is she? And do I have to deal with her every single day?”“She is my wife,” he blurted as I nodded.“Your first mate,” I chuckled feeling a bit disappointed. “So I’m not even your first.”“No,” he sighed.“And when were you going to tell me about her?”“You arrived today, I don’t think you should be asking so many questions.”“I should so I would know what I’m dealing with here. If you were not available I would have lost that fight and the moon goddess knows what would have happened to me.”“Nothing would have happened to you. Now stop whining and let me think.”I plopped down stubbornly on the bed with my arms crossed. Whatever he was thinking about was extremely important but I still wanted answers.“Fine,” he smiled. “You should not be swayed by her ferocity. Underneath all that rage
JaneBut I was wrong, for when I awoke he was gone from the bed and I was alone.I decided that I was going to use that day to get acquainted with the people in the house, but it was only a matter of time before tragedy struck.I walked around the house to see that Gail was missing as well as Sinclair. The house was eerily empty today for a house that was filled up yesterday.I walked to the entrance of the house to see a maid running towards me.She looked like she was in distress and I immediately got alarmed.“What is it?!” I asked as she slowed down to catch her breath.“Madame Victoria has been caught between the reins of two horses in the barn,” she panted heavily. “She needs help. We need extra hands.”“Take me there,” I said as she ran ahead of me.I had taken in Victoria’s aura yesterday, how was she weaker than a rein? She was a werewolf with super strength, she was supposed to have taken down the entire barn if possible.I reached the empty barn to get in and see nothing bu
