Chapter 6

★★

Thanks to her help, I was able to get dinner ready faster than usual. At first, I would rather not get all buddy-buddy with her, then again she was an intriguing character. She was really conservative and she was very humorous. Aside from that, she had a unique vibe that I've never came across before.

“So, how did you get to be a slave?” I had asked Lucy when we were dishing the meal together. She gave me a light shrug of the shoulder before she replied.

“I'll just cut to the chase. Our pack was invaded by another and so my dad thought it would be nice for to have a change of environment. But on our way, we encountered a group of robbers who were actually kidnappers. Dad was trying his absolute best to protect me and in the end he got killed, and I was taking away. Alpha Kaine was the one who bought me. I've been kept in that dark dungeon for almost a week now. I undeniably am glad to be let outside” she answered honestly.

It's been long I've seen someone who's so sincere and straightforward like her. Like I said, her vibe is unique and very contagious. With the way she explained it, it will be very hard for one to have any pitiful feelings for her – she talked so freely and her voice was void with any sadness or bitterness. She tried the absolute best to hide the pain, but it was very evident in her eyes.

“It'll be fine. You've got me now, and we'll pull through anything together” I gave her a light smile as I place my hand on her shoulder comfortingly. “Yeah. So, what about you? The maid back at the quarters said you were the daughter of a beta before? Is that right?” she questioned with a raised eyebrow.

I can't believe how shitty does maids really are! Like, whom the f*** gave them the audacity to gossip about me so recklessly? I pray we never crossed paths unless I'm going to castrate them literally. It's sad how my story spreads faster than wildfire in the harmattan season. At first, I wanted to play dumb to her question but since she's already told me her side of the story, I'll have just to tell her mine.

In a way, we are both acquainted with each other and I see her as a friend right now. Despite knowing the fact that working alongside me will get her in trouble, she didn't mind and helped me out. Thinking about my encounter with her, I realize how fortunate I have been.

My wolf, however, kept telling me how dangerous it is for her to be seen with me. I know all that, and yet, I just can't let her go or chase her. I guess I got engrossed in my thought, I left with Lucy hanging.

She had to give my shoulder a light tap to jolt me out of it. “Are you going to answer the question, or should we just have it under the carpet?”

Her sarcastic remark made me smile absentmindedly. “Well, the maids were right. My dad was a beta, but got framed for treason and was burnt to death. Because of his sins, my brother and I were turned into slaves. My mum died of depression from his death. And that's the story of my life, pretty captivating, don't you think?” I explained and finished off with a bitter smile.

“Yeah captivating sad! I'm genuinely sorry, Elora. I wish you get all the happiness you deserve in life. And also for the killer of your dad to rot in hell” Lucy smiled reassuringly. I lost it and engulfed her in a hug. After hugging and comforting each other, I set out inserting the dinner for the royal family. Lucy wanted to help, but I had to convince her in staying behind in the kitchen.

Moments later, we were walking along the hallway towards the direction of the maid's quarter. “You can head off to bed now, I've still got a lot of s*** to do”

“Seriously? Then let's do it together”

“Lucy? Are you…?”

“Don't sweat it” she winked. Her winks always leaves me assured. I've got only one place left to clean – Ethan's room.

“So this's the future Alpha's chambers? Smells like used condoms!” Lucy remarked the instant we entered. Her comment made me laugh loudly.

We set off in cleaning—she took the kitchen, living room while I took care of the toilets and his room. Half an hour passed by and we were done. Walking down the stairs, Ethan opened the door. My heart seized immediately.

He's going to see Lucy ‘Don't leave the kitchen Lucy…! Don't’ I mind-linked her fast.

‘That prick's here? Sure. I'll leave through the backdoor. See you at the slave quarters’ she responded.

I avoided his eyes by lowering my gaze to the floor. I don't want any troubles from him. After greeting him, i attempted to walk past him when Ethan grabbed me by the arm.

“E …”my voice trailed off the instant I noticed that lustful grin on his lips—my heart thudded violently in my chest, staring at his beautiful lewd eyes.

“Why don't you stick around, Elora? Y'know, I never got to taste you before rejecting you” he spoke coquettishly.

“Let me… ah!” a sharp gasp elicited from my lips the instant he gripped my ass possessively. He began to act creepy by burying his lips on my neck.

“Why don't we have a little fun, Elora?” he croaked, smacking my ass violently.
