"Address me as 'Your Highness'," Selena commanded, her voice echoing through the grand living room, the opulent chandeliers casting a warm golden glow on the scene. She took deliberate steps, her elegant gown flowing behind her, as she closed the distance between herself and Faith, her heels clicking against the marble floor.Faith, who showed unwavering confidence stood tall, her posture radiating strength despite the palpable tension in the air. At five feet eight inches, she matched Selena's height, her poise unyielding even as Selena attempted to assert her dominance. Selena's heels, adding five inches to her stature, served as a silent reminder of her refusal to be intimidated. Faith met Selena's gaze with a calm resolve, her eyes reflecting a depth of understanding beyond her years.Acknowledging Selena's demand, Faith nodded slowly, her serene countenance undisturbed by the confrontation unfolding. She chose not to engage in a battle of egos, instead focusing on maintaining her

Kendrick's heightened senses as a Lycan allowed him to hear the faint sound of the little girl's silent cries, echoing in his mind like a persistent buzz. His acute hearing picked up every sound around him, from their whispered conversations to their laughter, even the rumbling in the child's stomach. These sounds, though innocent, gnawed at him, unsettling his thoughts and emotions. He couldn't comprehend why the cries affected him so deeply, why the mere mention of Faith being punished troubled him to his core. The conflicting emotions tormented him, leaving him questioning himself.Meanwhile, on the third floor where he and Selena stood, impatience radiated from Selena's demeanor. She was growing increasingly annoyed by the absence of the new maid."Where is the new maid? Why isn't she here yet?" Selena's irritation was evident, her impatience palpable.The grand hall where the meeting took place was adorned with opulent tapestries that depicted the history of the werewolf communit

It was six in the morning. Around two hours later since her last interaction with Selena. Echo was still sleeping but she got the food from the kitchen. She ate a little, the rest brought inside the room and kept in a corner of the bed. So that Echo can have it when she wakes up. Her little girl knows how to take care of herself when her mommy isn't around. Faith quickly got inside the awful dress before Echo could wake up and see her in that dress. She quickly and quietly came outside and Lucy was already waiting for her outside with her usual grumpy face. "Follow me." Lucy said and Faith nodded at her without saying another word. She silently followed her outside the palace through the backdoor. They walked through the jungle behind a little before they came across a big dark building. It was giving her creepy vibes. "That's your place of work. Clean all the toilets in there today. Help yourself. I am off now." Lucy spat at her before turning around to leave without letting her

As the sun's gentle rays filtered through the leaves, casting a warm glow upon the surroundings, Faith found herself immersed in the thoughts of what happened a few minutes ago. Her gaze fixed downwards, she mumbled self assurance softly to herself, her thoughts consumed by the impending conversation she needed to have.Interrupting her solitude, Steven appeared, his brow furrowed with confusion as he observed Faith's nervous demeanor. Sensing her unease, he offered to talk right then and there, perplexed as to why she seemed so hesitant and he had many questions as well. "Faith, I have a lot of questions. Could you please answer them?" Steven asked slowly, not wanting to startle her. Shifting her gaze from the ground to meet his eyes, Faith felt a mixture of gratitude and vulnerability. Her voice trembled slightly as she replied, "No... I can't talk now. But... but I do need to talk to you. You're the first good person I've encountered since I arrived here." Her words were laced wi

"Hello, Steven. It's nice to see you after so long," Selena said, her voice dripping with false warmth as she entered the room uninvited. She held herself with an air of entitlement, her every movement exuding confidence. The unpredictable reaction of the brothers intrigued her, a smirk playing at the corners of her lips."Hello, Selena. I wish I could say the same about you," Steven retorted, his displeasure evident in his tone. He and Selena had never been on good terms since childhood, their relationship marred by rivalry and animosity. Growing up as friends, the connection between their families had thrust them into each other's lives, but their conflicting personalities had kept them at odds.But after what she did to Faith, she has been marked as a red card to his enmity list. He cannot tolerate evil souls. He didn't know what was going on in his brother's head, he needed to talk to him as soon as possible before he lost his temper."Why are you being so grumpy early in the morn
