The man whose arms were crossed was standing in front of me now. I can smell him from here. No one spoke a word since we went inside the hut. I was just staring at those burning eyes. This is the first time I saw something like this. I had seen red eyes before but his was just fascinating. I couldn't take my eyes off of him.
"Stop staring at him." Diane told me, glaring. She's still trying to look over at me, scared that I might do something horrible, which I have never thought of doing.I still don't know what kind of person they are."Why are you here?" Sebastian, as Diane called him earlier, asked the woman in front of me.She felt uneasy after hearing him, squeezing her fingers in her palm. She looked so tense. "I just want to make sure you are safe," she said with her most calm tone, far from how she speaks to me. This Sebastian had my curiosity craved. Who is he? And why does this woman seem to be afraid of him?"I don't need your protection." He replied to her. Well, as I can see. I think he really doesn't need it. He seems so strong, his aura's telling me that. But what happened earlier bothers me, is he sick? I want to ask these questions but my mouth remains shut."You haven't come back for 2 months. We are all worried about you. And now…" she looked at me with disgust in her face. "I even saw you with a woman. Where did you get her?" The way she asked it, feels like I was just trash that can be taken and thrown anywhere. Do people really think I am like that?"Since when did you learn to question me?" Sebastian crossed his arms while looking coldly at her.Wait. Are they in a relationship?Oh no.I don't want to ruin anything about them."S-Sorry. I am just curious." Now, she's like a child. I really don't know what's happening right now and why I feel like I need to comfort this girl beside me.We are currently inside the hut, this Diane sat beside me and didn't leave my side."Go now." He commanded her. I sighed in relief hearing that since I can't breathe properly around her. "Take her with you." My eyes widened when he said that. I even pointed at myself."M-Me?" I asked. Sebastian nodded his head."Wait. What? Why do I need to take her to that place? She's not one of us!" Diane stood up. Yes, I am not. So, why?"Just do it, go at night." That was the last thing he said to end the conversation and then left us here."I hate you." Diane turns her head, she's gritting her teeth while clenching her fist. I can really feel it.There's a moment of silence between us so I tried breaking it."I am Analisse." She did not even bother to look at me. She just sighed and continued checking her nails. I think she doesn't have any plans to talk to me so I just scanned her. She has this red curly long hair and her skin was pale white. Her eyes are mint green and she has pouty natural pink lips. She is shorter than me, she also looks younger. Her pointed nose, I like it. It reminds me of Samantha. I bit my lower lips. Whenever I think of her, it still pains me in the chest. But now that I am with these people, I can't show my weakness. I don't want anybody to use it again against me. But what caught my attention the most, is the scar under her right eye. It's not that big but also not small, I didn't notice it earlier."Done checking me out? I know I am beautiful," she said, bitterly.I smiled. "You are."After saying that, she looked at me, frowning but I could see a bit of amusement in her eyes. She avoided my gaze after she saw that I was smiling. "I need to go outside. Wait for me here until night, don't fall asleep. I won't bother waking you up." She hurriedly went outside after and I was left alone again.Time flies so fast that I didn't notice it's already afternoon. Diane told me not to sleep but I can't help it. My body's still sore.I guess they haven't come back yet. I bit my lips after feeling my stomach, it's in need of food.I decided to go outside but I haven't seen Sebastian and Diane. I looked around, there's a bunch of woods here. I guess this was Sebastian doing the whole day. I walked around the place and saw a small way to the woods. I followed it and it led me to a lake. Its water was so clear so I went near it to drink some, I even washed my face.I also felt the need to pee at that very moment so I looked for a secluded spot to go and free myself. There's no one here, so no one will see me. But while I was doing my business I heard some voices not far from where I am."You need to go back now, Prince. We need you, the pack needs you." It was Diane's voice.Pack? They are wolves? But I can't feel them. I thought they were some kind of creatures but not wolves. I think there's something wrong with me or they were just so good at hiding their presence. Maybe that's why Sebastian knew the first time he saw me, that we are the same."I already told father, I would not go back until I find Nick." Who's Nick this time?"But the news told us he is already dead! We haven't seen him for months, he knew the way back and he never did." Diane tried to calm herself, but I can feel she's losing it. There's a moment of silence after that, I just remain where I am and continue listening to them. "Brother, listen to me just this once. I don't want to force you but the pack wants you to go back. You are still under observation, we need to ensure your safety so everything needs to go well as planned."Brother? They are siblings? And what plan are they talking about? I really can't understand but I kept on listening."I am not interested in that title. Go home and tell them I have a business to take care of. I would not stop until I saw his dead body." He is an heir, I see and he's not fond of responsibilities, given that he can leave them for months. However, he is doing something important for him.I heard footsteps after that, maybe they were leaving.When I thought they were not here anymore, I went outside where I was hiding."What are you doing here?" I heard him, it was Sebastian's voice. Does he know I am hiding, trying to gossip about their personal matters? I looked back at him and smiled awkwardly. I saw Diane behind him, she's holding a basket of fruits."I…I was just looking for something to eat." I told him. I wish he buys that reason to let me go."Let's go back." I nodded my head at him before following. I even saw Diane glared at me. I just ignored her. I know she's not comfortable having me beside her dear brother."Eat then prepare for leaving." Sebastian told me after putting the basket on the table."Where am I going?" I asked him before he could go outside the hut. I know exactly that he was pertaining to his home but what I want to know is what kind of people I will be dealing with."You're safe there. No one will not hurt you." He assured me. I am supposed to be thankful he is adopting me, but I don't feel like I am safe without him, especially that Diane is still giving me that look, she can grab my neck anytime."I told you, they will surely question everything about her. How am I supposed to tell them that she's a rogue? We even don't know where she came from and what kind of background she has." Diane finally said the words she had been holding since earlier."Tell them she's my new servant." Sebastian commanded, then left us here."His what?" I asked, surprised."You're lucky he made you one. Many beauties were dying to get a spot." Diane replied to my question.I took an apple and sat on the wooden bed. All I can do is sigh. Maybe this can be a new start for me. I think being his servant isn't that hard."Let's go to the Blood Moon Pack."I think all of the blood inside my body went up to my head, trying to not believe what she just said.Did I hear it right?"Let's go." Diane walked outside the hut but I didn't follow. I was skeptical about moving. I can't find my diary. I don't know where it was. I am certain Sebastian won't bother taking such a thing like that but it's still important for me. I can't leave without it."Hey! Time is running out!" Diane shouted from outside. I closed my eyes. Sweat was all over my body, my hands were shaking. Should I just leave those memories here?I did not respond to her and continued looking for my thing."What is it?" Sebastian asked. He's frowning, wondering what I need in his small hut. "I lost my diary. I can't find it." I told him. "Forget it. You need to leave now." I was stunned when I heard what he said. That's the only thing I have, that's why I can't bear to lose that too. I looked at him and shook my head, then continued searching. The coat and the box containing the food that seemed to have been wiped are still here, but the diary is gone. I sat on the floor and sighed, it seemed that
"Who are you?" I asked. I can feel something strange about him, I am certain he is not just an ordinary man.His gaze shifted at me and grinned as he saw my face."I am not expecting to see the cat who got lost in this area." I frowned. Is he pertaining to me? What's the meaning of his words then?"I am asking you, who are you and what do you need?" My patience got shorter, especially when he smirked."You don't know me but I know a lot about you, and this little fox." He looked at Diane meaningfully. "I did not know Blood Moon pack would give way to a rogue like you. It's a shame, the Silver wolf pack just gave up on someone brave and respects equality, it's their loss. Don't you want revenge?" My eyes widened. How did he know about what happened to me? He is not part of us, the news isn't that fast to grow either since we are far away from others. "How did you know that?" I asked, pointing my dagger at him.He laughed, as if trying to piss me. However, I need to remain calm. I stil
"Blood Moon pack." I mumbled after seeing their base."Except for the members, you are the only one who knows this place." She's pertaining to where we are standing. "We can see the whole area right here," I guess she's saying that I need to shut my mouth and never leak what she trusted in me.I smiled. "My eyes are open but my mouth will stay closed." She then looked at me again with those eyes, like the first time we met. "This is the fastest route. I just could no longer wait to see my home. Don't ever think I trust you now." I nodded my head. I know what she meant after all since I, too, need to be careful of what I am trying to do. "Follow me." After saying those words, she didn't hesitate to jump off the cliff. I was shocked for a moment but when I heard her calling me, I looked down and saw her standing in a hanging stone.So this is what it takes to reach their base. They were really trying to keep the pack safe. Just by moving to their pack, it could take your own life. You
I left the room after washing my clothes, trying to look for Manang Theresa. She told me to rest but I can't do it in this place. I will feel like a prisoner if I do.The small table in the center with different kinds of foods was the first thing I saw. I am not that hungry but the way they made these can make me salivate. However, I still have someone to look for.I shifted my way and went to the door I don't know where I am leading to and opened it just to find a garden full of flowers, but I won't dare to touch any of them, they could poison me."Who are you?" A soft voice asked me. I flinched when I heard it behind me so I turned around, looking at the girl who's wearing very simple but long clothes with a lot of dirt on it. She looks so innocent, her face is small but she has big eyes. Her hair is still silky even though it was messy. I smiled at her. "Hi. I am Analisse, I will be the new servant here. I am looking for Manang Theresa." I think she didn't want to trust me at firs
Solana gazed at me right away after she apprehend what was being said to her. She bit her lips, nervous of the outcome she might face because of Diane.I wonder what she needs from her this time and the one who called Solana was in horror. I smiled at Solana a little. Maybe this is the chance to see the outside. "I will go with you." I told her, and once she heard that her eyes sparkled. It made her less nervous since she will have company.She agreed immediately and we both made our way to the house where Diane was staying.It's not that far from the servants' house since they really need to be here quickly once they are called. I raised my head as I stared at this big house, the entrance has engraved letters on it so I stare at it. Moon Subdue Palace, so that is how this place is called. The outside really has a strong foundation, no wonder royalties live here. Solana's eyes and I met as she nodded at me, telling me that we can go inside now. I followed her until we reached the bi
Not only Diane was found standing behind me, there's also Solana who doesn't know how she will react at this very moment."How dare you!" Diane's voice echoed inside the house, her speed was unrecognizable as she went in front of that lady who's shaking right now. The last thing I knew, she's already holding and gripping her neck tightly. Was she trying to kill her?"Please, Lady Diane. Let her go!" The old lady pleaded, crying out loud but Diane's pity was out of reach.She can't speak anymore, her face became pale while her hands slowly drifted down the gemstone."Die!" She was ready to break her neck when I held her shoulders, trying to stop her from doing so."Diane." I called her. She stopped for a moment and looked at me, her eyes were raging with anger."Did I tell you to mind the business here? Don't act like you're needed here." I nodded my head, slowly and sighed."I am not. But please let her go and explain." After hearing that from me, all she did was smirk. "There's noth
I woke up because someone tapped my cheek, I slowly opened my eyes to see who that person was."Analisse, are you awake yet?" I heard a soft question. When I opened my eyes, I was exposed to the light from the sun's rays. Where am I? I slowly stood up, holding my head when I felt a pain in it. While closing my eyes, the events that happened last night seem to come back to me little by little, are they really? I asked myself. I looked at the person who woke me up, I saw Solana looking worried, what happened? After I lost consciousness, I don't know what happened next. I looked around and saw that I was already at the servants' house, who brought me here? "Are you okay? Do you need anything?" Solana asked me worriedly. I looked at her and smiled, I just shook my head to ease her worry. "What happened?" I asked her. She sighed and sat next to me. "Some people found you unconscious at the entrance of the forest when they were back from a hunt, they didn't know you so they thought y
Rumors started around the moment Sebastian decided who he wanted to be his personal servant. I can't escape their judgemental stares, especially the ladies who I think are already killing me with their gaze."Who is she? Why is she here? Could she be a spy?" I just sighed to the side and shook my head. I didn't expect that it would be this difficult for me even with the low role in a pack."But we don't know her well yet, we don't know where she came from. It won't do the prince any good if she stays by his side." One of them said, I just ignored it because I know myself better than these people. I just hope for this to end. I saw the Alpha's smile that's why I couldn't figure out what he wanted to convey. However, it looks like no one here knows me."Are you sure of your choice?" The Alpha asked Sebastian. He just nodded, but no emotion could be read on his face. What was he thinking? If he wants to make fun of me and trip me up in exchange for helping me then, I will not allow myse
