Chapter 6

Leah pov

After nearly four days of travel, we finally got to Silverback pack, amidst grumblings and side-eye glances from the few warriors Alpha Damian had brought with him. 

I could understand their grumbling, as the journey was supposed to take just one day in their wolf form, but because I couldn't shift, they had to keep to my pace, which made them angry. 

I could sense Damian frustration with me, but he didn't say a word, leaving me in the company of his warriors while he went on to scout. 

Immediately we got to what I assumed was the pack house; since it was the biggest building I could see, the door flew open and a stunning silvery-haired woman came flying out of it. 

"Damian!" She shouted, jumping on him and planting a full kiss on his lips. 

Damian caught her by the hips, and the two of them kissed so deeply I could only stare in shock. 

What the-? 

The two of them ease off each other reluctantly, their eyes hooked on each other, and the depths of their feelings obvious. 

If he already had a woman he loved, why then did he decide to mate Princess Anne? 

Was he that cruel to subject the young girl to this? I thought in disgust, as I eyed them still in each other's embrace, but my heart couldn't help but twitch in pain a little. 

I shrugged the feeling off, and pushed it down down in my mind, where I hid all my other hurts and pain till it felt like my heart had iced over again. 

Better. I thought in satisfaction. 

The silver-haired female looked over at me, her beautiful dark brown eyes narrowing in derision as she looked me over. 

"I heard you caused My Alpha and his warriors some inconveniences on the way here, Princess?" 

The word "princess" on her lips was more like "slave". That was how much disgust was in the word. 

This woman didn't like me at all and she made it very obvious. 

I didn't say a word in response, but instead stared at her blankly. 

She frowned a bit, then turned her attention to a warrior. 

"Take her to her room, I need to speak to the Alpha privately," She stated, giving Alpha Damian a seductive smile filled with want and sex. 

I already knew what their private meeting would entail. 

"Yes Beta Stephanie," The warrior answered, which made me startle in shock at the female being a beta, but I quickly hid my reaction. 

I didn't want anyone to be suspicious of me here too. The Alpha's suspicion was more than enough. 

As I left with the warrior, I chanced a glance backwards to see Alpha Damian clasping Stephanie's hand in his as they walked towards another wing of the house which I assumed was where their bedroom resided. 

Hmmm… I heaved out a deep sigh. 

It looked like my stay here would be very uneventful. Maybe I could actually make it out alive. 

Alpha Damian wasn't interested in me, seeing that he already had a lover, so he might just ignore me and give me enough opportunity to carry out my aim. 

My aim was to steal as much wealth as I could in the next few weeks and run away from this place. 

That was the plan I and Princess Anne made. 

She had told me of how wealthy the Silverback pack was, which was only second to Risenmoon pack, and if I mated Alpha Damian in her place, I could get access to more wealth as his Luna, than what her father would give me for healing her. 

Looking at the layout of this pack house, it looked to be true. 

It was decked with beautiful and expensive-looking paintings and artworks, with some gemstones peeking out here and there in some of the furniture. 

One of those gemstones would be able to feed me for two weeks. I thought as I observed the whole place, already planning my theft and escape. 

"Here is your room, Princess," The warrior said, opening the door to a lavishly decked-out room.

The room was fit for a princess. 

"If you need anything, do not hesitate to ask. Someone will always be stationed at the other end of the door," He added, which caused me to grimace slightly. 

I didn't want someone watching over me! 

It would only make things hard for me. 

"Thanks, em?" I asked. 

I didn't communicate much with the warriors on our way here, focusing instead on putting one foot in front of the other, and not falling down in a slump. 

"James," He answered, giving me a tight smile. 

"OK. Thank you, James," I finished. 

Immediately he left, I fell on the big soft bed and dozed off.

KNOCK KNOCK KNOCK

"Princess? Princess!?" 

Who is knocking? I'm trying to sleep! 

I snapped in my thoughts, as I turned to find a better position and resumed my sleep. 

"Princess Anne! If you don't answer, I will have no choice but to come in," The voice stated, while I kept on sleeping. 

Suddenly a hand shook my shoulder. 

"Princess?" 

Who was calling princess? 

"Who is Princess?" I murmured drowsily, as I opened my bleary eyes, to find one of Alpha Damian's warriors looking down at me in concern. 

Immediately I sat up, at attention on the bed. 

Shit! I almost exposed myself. 

"Sorry to intrude on your privacy, princess. I knocked several times but you didn't respond," 

"Oh… I - I must have been deeply asleep. The journey was quite tiring," 

"How long was I asleep?" I asked, stifling a yawn with my hand. 

I was still so tired and needed more sleep. 

"We got here before noon, and now, the sun has gone to sleep," He stated. 

So, I have been asleep for hours if it was already dark outside. 

"Do you need something?" I asked, quirking a brow in question. 

"Yes. Alpha Damain has demanded your presence. He wants you to dine with him"

Dine with him? Why would Alpha Damian want to eat with me? 

"Will Beta Stephanie be there?" The question suddenly popped out of my mouth, causing the warrior to shift on his feet, his unease obvious. 

"I don't know princess," He commented. 

"I will leave you to dress up. Someone will be here to take you to the dining hall in a few minutes," The warrior said, then left, closing the door softly behind him.
