Lucas was pacing up and down in the living room when Dolph walked in with a smile on his face. “Why are you smiling?” Lucas asked immediately, taking it as a bad sign. “Why are you pacing up and down?” Dolph asked. “Answer me first!” Lucas snapped and a look of surprise jumped into Dolph’s eyes. “Okay, okay, relax man. I took her to the other side of the pack, the dark harbor. You should have seen the look of shock on her face, I tried so hard not to laugh. What was she expecting? A palace?” Dolph laughed mockingly. “All these lowly wolves don’t even know their fucking place, especially the females, huh?” He laughed again. Lucas ran his fingers through his hair and his face contorted with a look of worry. “So you left her with the other violent captives?” He asked, his voice was unusually unsteady. “Yeah, but it seemed like you wanted me to give her some special treatment. Although you didn’t voice it out, I saw it in your eyes.” Dolph smiled, pointing at him. “So I left her i

Dolph joined him in the corridor a few minutes later, he brought a cigarette case with him.“I figured you might need one of these.” He said and handed the case to Lucas. “Not now, Dolph,” Lucas replied without looking at him.Dolph nodded and lit one for himself, it was rare for Lucas to reject a cigarette and he wondered why he looked so tense. How was a mere human making him so agitated? Normally Lucas didn’t even give a fuck about the captives here.“What’s the doctor saying?” Dolph asked.“Nothing, he’s still running checks,” Lucas said and suddenly looked at him inquisitively. “Did you do anything to her, Dolph?”Dolph was startled by the directness of the question, “Of course not, Lucas.” “You didn’t hit her?” Lucas asked again.“No, I didn’t. I found her unconscious.” He replied, his tone somewhat annoyed by Lucas’s strange persistence. “You don’t believe me? I found her unconscious. I feel like I’m being interrogated or something.” “Alright, enough,” Lucas said with a frow

Riley woke up with a languid feeling and a bitter taste in her mouth. She felt so weak and could hardly move her limbs. She remembered what had happened before she passed out, the shack the beta had left her in was so dirty and disarrayed. When she managed to sit down on the cold floor, a rat ran past her more than once and that frightened Riley to her bones. She hated rodents, she hated her fate and who she was born into. She wondered if this was how she was going to keep living, with rats and the husky, intoxicating fetid smell of the air. The first signs of weakness came when she tried to stand up, but she couldn’t. An ache raged through her head and her vision became blurry instantly, that was when she fell unconscious. She sat up on the comfortable bed and groaned, at least she could move now, she thought. The door suddenly swung open and a maid walked in, the moment she saw Riley awake, she turned and left the room. “What was that all about?” She wondered and got off the be

The next day was Riley’s first day as Lucas’s maid and before she left Dolph’s house, she thanked the maids for their services to her. When she turned around, Dolph was standing by the wall, his arms folded while one leg crossed over the other, his face was impassive as he stared at her. She bowed to him stiffly.“You didn’t have to say anything to them, they were acting on my orders after all.” He said.“I just felt like I had to.” She replied, although he had acted harshly towards her the previous day, Riley thought that he wasn’t such a bad person. “Didn’t you see the way they looked at you? Their faces read, is this bitch crazy?” He remarked. “Lucas is waiting for you, you have a very busy day ahead. Get your stuff.” He squinted at her and then saw that she was carrying nothing. “Oh, you don’t have any stuff, let’s go then.”Lucas was in the living room, luckily Brenda wasn’t around so Riley didn’t have to meet her immediately. He was sure Dolph had already given her the warnings

They drove for a very short time, it couldn’t have been longer than ten minutes and the car was parked in front of a huge building that seemed to be made of glass only. While Riley got out of the car, Lucas offered her his hand. She was surprised and didn’t take it initially, Lucas just seemed to be making her break the first rule Dolph gave to her over and over again. “What? Take my hand.” He said after their eyes met for a while and she left him hanging.“I’m alright, King Lucas, I can handle myself.” She replied politely.“I see.” He shrugged and thrust his hands into his pocket. “Let us go then.”Regretfully, she stepped down from the beautiful car with his briefcase and trailed after him at a safe distance. Immediately Lucas stepped into the building, and the boisterous air about the lobby suddenly turned calm. Everyone fell silent and turned to look at the revolving doors as Lucas and Riley walked in. Riley was surprised by how much attention he could draw, she felt shy immedia
