Chapter 15“She’s the daughter of the Crescent pack?” He said after a while of reading through.Janiya nodded as she pulled a chair out, sitting on it with her legs crossed and staring at Ronan’s face. All this while, she had stood beside him, helping him out, even sacrificing herself towards his duty, but he was always too busy to see her. “Are you saying this is the same princess that was given birth to on the same date of the moon goddess?”“She’s the wolfless princess.” Janiya completed.Ronan brows went up. It couldn’t be. There was nothing the devil would need in a princess like her,she was wolfless, and amongst all princesses, she was the only one with no power. Even her date that was supposed to be glorious for her proved to be useless.“This doesn’t mean anything. You almost scared me there,” Ronan said as he handed her the paper.“Her mother.. you didn’t read that part.” Janiya nodded back towards the paper. She leaned closer to him, one of her fingers trailing across the
Chapter 16“Good morning, your highness,” the maid greeted the next day as she served the food.Stacey sat in front of Ronan, only the table separating them from being close to each other. It was just the both of them just like yesterday, and she couldn’t get why the rest of his friends were not coming again. Her eyes were lowered, and her heart was pounding heavily without any cause.After his words yesterday, he had barged out of her room, asking her not to try anything funny because she wouldn’t like the repercussions and deciding to steer clear of her also. She was not interested in what he felt about her, all she needed now was her plan to work and soon she should be outside of these walls.“Are you not going to eat?” She heard his deep voice that always made something steer in her every time it sounded.“I will. Thank you.” She retorted.Ronan was caught off guard with her ‘thank you’. The first he had heard her say, and the first she had gone off without being rude or sarcastic
Chapter 17Stacey could hear the sound of her heart beating rapidly as night approached, all her plans in motion and the last thing left was the walk with the guard that disgusted her. After a week of allowing her free time, she had noticed he was the one with the keys, the head of guards and had approached him. Even though he seemed skeptical at first, using some of her past has brought him closer.“At least the scars are useful for once,” she heard her wolf Freya mindlink her as a small laugh left her lips.“What’s funny?” The alpha said as he looked up at her.She looked up immediately, lowering her gaze back before continuing with her food. She was too excited about the plan, and for some reason she knew it would go too well. All she had to do was to be careful, and also make sure to steal the keys.“I'd like to take a stroll,” she said abruptly, causing Ronan to look up at her.“Which day? With whom?”“I have someone. Tonight.”“And why are you telling me?”“You asked me not to
Chapter 18“Your highness…”“Don’t worry Damien, take the key and leave.” Ronan cut him off as he moved towards Stacey.Stacey’s eyes met with his as he eyed her in contempt and disgust, pulling the key out of her hands before turning back.“Have a good night, your highness,” he muttered under his breath and bowed, walking out of the door and closing it.Stacey clenched her jaw, the disappointment and anger she was feeling coursing through every part of her. She had her chance to escape, but the keys had to be much and she had to be caught. She adjusted the strap of the leather bag she took from the room and turned to walk away.“Ohh. So that’s it, nothing to say, just walking off?” She heard him say as she halted in her tracks. “I told you not to do anything stupid and foolish. What if someone else saw you? Are you so desperate to leave that you don’t care about the consequences of your actions? Or you’ve suffered too much, you don’t care to undergo a new one?” He said harshly, walk
Chapter 19Ronan's heart writhed lightly at her words, and the pain that passed her eyes as she said them. But she was too quick, acting like she could do it all by herself and also being stubborn,“So what have you decided?” She asked, the smile he saw on her face gone.“Tell me about it.” He said.Her brows raised as she eyed him, “about what?” “You know, I’m just realizing I don’t know your name. You’re the alpha of this unknown pack. You have the effrontery to steal from Lucien, and clearly, you have a feud with him. So let’s start from there, what’s your name?” She replied.She could see the interest in his eyes as he stared at her. The only thing she knew how to do best, seeing the interest in people’s eyes. He was interested in her, the way his eyes closed swiftly only to land back on her, the way those eyes stared into hers without blinking away. “Ronan. I’m the Alpha of this pack, and yes, I have a feud with Lucien.” He replied.He seemed so calm and collected, the best sh
Chapter 20Morning came quicker than expected, and Stacey couldn’t tell why she was so nervous about it. She was fully dressed when the maid came in to prepare the bath, surprising the maid.“Is there an occasion today, my lady?” The maid asked.“No. No. Can you accompany me? I'd like to take a walk.” She said as she stood up, placing her hands on each other as she walked out in her heels.The maid raked her from up to down, even more surprised at her attire. Her hair was down, thoroughly combed, some part of it also done into braids. “Did you sleep at all my lady?” She asked as she followed suit.“Yes, I woke up early to dress up.” Stacey replied.She looked at the maid and dashed her a small smile, “I don’t know if the same thing would be done to me. So I’m doing something I’ve always wanted to do. Dress up myself, walk as I wish, and do things I like.” She said,The maid nodded. She was putting on a ball gown and heels, making her look like a princess. “You look so beautiful in i
Chapter 21Eric entered the room, and the first place his eyes wandered over to was Stacey, who was seated on the chair. “Ahh, Eric.” Ronan said, walking away from Stacey and towards him.“Your highness, the elders are around in the room already.” Eric said, his eyes not leaving Stacey. “Let’s go then.” It was not until the door closed that Stacey blinked. The tears didn’t cease to fall, rolling after each other as her heart writhed in pain. “It’s fine. It’s okay. You know it now.” Her wolf said to her.She sniffed in, cleaning the tears on her face as she stood up. She wanted clarity, and now she got it. He didn’t like her, he had no interest in her. All of it was just a game to him to get what he wanted. “No one would ever like you Stacey,” her mother’s words rang in her head.“Ahh. Long time no see my friend.” She heard someone say as the door opened.She cleaned the last of the tears on her face as she faced Janiya who walked in.“You’re not good at hiding your feelings. It’s
Chapter 22Stacey locked herself in the room throughout the day, turning and turning in the bed. She was disturbed, embarrassed and disappointed in herself. What happened to her not believing in love again?“He acted it out. It’s not your fault.”“It’s my fault Freya. It’s my fault! Why did I think….A knock on the door disrupted her thoughts as her eyes went there. Before she could tell the person not to come in, the door opened and the maid walked in.“Are you okay, my lady?” The lady said as she walked in. “I’m fine. Is there anything?” She asked.The maid closed the door gently before walking into the room. She took her seat beside the bed as her hand went to Stacey’s legs,“What’s going on?” Stacey asked with raised brow, seating up immediately with her eyes on alert.“I’m so sorry. I’m so sorry my lady.” The maid stood up bowing and apologizing profusely.“You seem sad and I have nothing to do now, that’s why I came here to look at you. I don’t mean any harm, my lady. I’m so so
