Chapter 37After a while, Ronan stood up from her side and towards the priestess.“Make sure you don’t leave her side. If you have anything to send anyone. Call the maid, or the guards. You’re working for me, and if anyone bothers you, let me know immediately I get back.”“Where to, your highness?” She questioned.“I need to see the neighboring pack. Ask them what Lucien has been up to, if he has visited and make sure they don’t know anything about her being here.”He retorted.“And if she wakes up before then..” he started, pausing to take a glance at her. “Ask a guard to ride down and come and meet me.”“Alright.” The priestess retorted before bowing down to him. Ronan walked towards Stacey again, bending down to place a kiss on her forehead before walking out of the room. It was not until he got out that he sighed heavily, finally knowing the weight of what he needed to do. If she has been through a lot, opening up to him would take a lot of time. And he had even rejected her twi
Chapter 38“What do you think?” Ronan asked Eric as they left the pack after the third day.“I think he’s saying the truth. If Lucien had been there, there’s no reason why he would lie. Unless he’s been paid.”“Ask one of our guards to stay here and view things. Let’s see if they’re saying the truth or not.” Ronan said.Eric bowed before getting out of the carriage, leaving Ronan inside. Ronan leaned on the car chair, closing his eyes as a sigh escaped his lips. Three days of staying somewhere that looked like he wasn’t welcome and the only thing he could think of was her. He had asked the priestess to send a guard to inform him immediately if she was awake but since no one came, he could tell that she wasn’t awake yet.A deep and worried sigh escaped his lips, how many days was it going to take her to wake up? Was it days or months? Could it lead to months? He had lots of things planned for both of them and couldn’t afford for her to take months. “I’ve done that your highness, he’ll
Chapter 39Ronan raced back to the pack, leaving Eric and the rest alone in the carriage while he used the horse the guard had brought. “Your highness,” the guards greeted as he got down off the horse, giving it to one of the horsemen before rushing inside. It was as if something was chasing him, at the same time making him happy. Even the maids greeted but none were given a reply, making them all wonder what was wrong with the alpha that was always calm. He touched the doorknob to open the door but halted midway. All the excitement he was feeling on behalf of it came to a halt also, making his senses return to his head. Should he act excited to see her? Should he just go in like he doesn’t care?“Do not try anything funny.” His wolf mind linked him immediately. All the plans he had in his head for whenever she woke up were long gone and the next thing was how he was going to survive to see her. He sighed, wanting to open the door when someone opened it from inside, their eyes that
Chapter 40Stacey sat on the bed after the priestess left, pondering on the last words. She felt weak from her upper part down to her knees, and she felt like they might soon detach from each other and leave her here. She slid down the bed again, covering herself up with the blanket left for her before the thoughts sunk in.Throughout the sleep she had heard various voices, one she was so sure of the owner. Maybe it was because of their conversation every day and him sitting across the table, but she was sure the voice belonged to him. He helped her so much, taking her away from those memories and begging her to wake up.Sometimes his voice was what she looked forward to, and also the female voice that stood by her. She wasn’t sure the owner of the voice, because it was two voices coming together as one. She sighed, making her think on why he would do that after he had asked them to bind her to a chair and punish her. She was really looking forward to the party that night, until they
Chapter 41Lena turned back to meet Stacey’s jealous eyes, her lips curling up as she carried the tray towards her.“Is someone jealous? I remember you saying that you’re going to reject him one more time and not have anything do with him? Are you jealous?” She asked, dropping the tray in front of her.Stacey eyed her, keeping her mouth shut and dragging the tray towards herself. “Why should I be jealous if I can have him anytime? I’m his mate. There’s a bond between us, there’s nothing to be jealous about from the both of you. You’re just his spy for all I know.” Lena's lips curved and stared at the lady in front of her. She had the urge to spill the whole truth to her, tell her she was more than a slave to the alpha.“So tell me, what have you guys been up to since I was asleep?” Stacey asked.“Nothing,” Lena shrugged. “The alpha was concerned about you. He locked one of the elders in the dungeon because they hit you, he just got back from a trip today. Everything has been gloomy
Chapter 42The gaze between them turned intense in a second. No one has ever said those three words to Stacey all her life, not even by mistake. “What do you mean?” She asked quietly. Ronan Sighed, shifting from the edge of the bed to the other edge where he could see her clearly. “I’ve wronged you in so many ways. I’ve rejected you twice without battling a lid, said hurtful words and allowed the elders of the town to trash you as they wish. But you’re my mate.”Stacey scoffed out, all the intensity between them clearing up immediately as she took her gaze off him.“Really? I’m your mate? You’re just discovering that I’m your mate?” She half yelled at him.“I’ve been wrong…”“Wrong? No, you’re the alpha. How can the alpha be wrong?” She retorted sarcastically.“Stacey, listen to me.” He said gently and carefully.“I don’t know half of the things you've been through, the pain your parents have put you through or the ones the devil had put you through…“What about the ones you put me
Chapter 43Ronan woke up the next day with a new determination in his mind. He hurridely cleaned his room before the maid arrived, his body cleaned and dressed in some new clothes.“What’s the occasion today, my lord?” His personal maid asked as she came inside and met everything done.“The occasion is a special one but still none of your business..” he replied with a small smile, making the maid bow and apologize before leaving the room.He walked out and towards the kitchen, everyone caught in a surprise as the alpha entered.“What is it you’re cooking today?” He questioned. As the head of staff replied, “wait a bit. I’ll be back.” He said before walking out.Going towards his room again, he opened the secret door and to Stacey's room, knocking as he awaited her reply. “Come in,” he heard her reply as he opened the door, only to halt in his steps.Her eyes went wide open as she met with him, hurriedly rushing back to the bathroom and slamming the door closed. Of all things Ronan s
Chapter 44Ronan walked out of the room, his mood down because of Stacey’s words as he returned to the kitcehn.“Continue and serve the table quickly,” he ordered before leaving. Was he pathetic? Because he was trying to fix his mistakes by accepting her? Was he acting pathetic just because of that? “You have to get her. She’s our mate.” His wolf said in him.“And I’m trying. I’m trying really hard. She’s the one not opening up.” He retorted.“Then get her to open up. You don’t expect everything to go well after treating her that way!” His wolf half yelled at him.He closed his room door and fell to the bed, staring at the ceiling with a lot of thoughts going on in his mind. Her scars. She had talked about it not being one and there was a lot. The elders couldn’t have done that in a span of an hour or two. Were those the scars that she talked about? The same scars that won’t let her trust anyone or anything?The door opened without the person knocking, causing Ronan to look up only
