Lahat ng Kabanata ng Savannah: The Pack's Outcast: Kabanata 71 - Kabanata 80

Two weeks laterSavanna sat huddled in a small clearing, her heart pounding in her chest. She had been running for days, ever since she had been let out of Valeria. She couldn't get rid of the fear that they were going to realize that she wasn't coming back to Valeria and send men after her...but so far as good, no one had tried to harm her...well other than the wild boar that'd snuck into her cave a few nights ago. She was tired, hungry, and scared. But she knew that she couldn't give up. She had to keep going.Suddenly, she heard a twig snap. She froze, her breath catching in her throat. She could hear something moving through the bushes.She slowly reached for her knife, her grip tightening around the handle. She was ready to fight for her life.The bushes parted, and a figure stepped out. It was a wolf, but it was unlike any wolf that Savanna had ever seen before. It was bigger and stronger, with a thick, black coat and piercing red eyes. It definitely wasn't a shifter. Savannah f

"You live in the palace?" Savannah gasped, taking in the stunning, almost glassy interiors of the majestic building. if Valeria was better than Hybern, the two kingdoms couple together held no candle to Sylvia. It was basically the most beautiful place Savannah had set eyes on. Every single person that walked the streets looked expensive, hell even the commoners seemed to use fast cars too. Their skin shone like they had magic thrumming in their veins and a glance at her guardians faces sort of confirmed the thoughts. "Are you royalty?" She asked again once she'd gotten control over her tongue and the older couple laughed indulgently."Remember when I said my husband was a hunter?" Kristen murmured and Savannah bounced her head positively."Well, I am the head of the maids and so we live in the castle." She explained gently, laughing at the wide-eyed look in her eyes.She looked like a kid in a toy store, dazzled by everything her eyes laid on. Some part of Savannah was grateful that

“You all should meet the newest addition to our family!” Kristen said warmly, standing in the lush fields behind the castle. There were about twenty women present, with Savannah shyly standing next to the woman. “Lena is going to be here for a while and I want you all to treat her nicely.” Kristen peered into the crowd of women and gave one lady, who stood by the corner with an arrogant glare a warning glance. “If I get a wind of any maltreatment of her, I will not hesitate to relieve you of your duties and personally lead out of the Sylvian castle. Are we clear?”There were few murmurs of agreement and Savannah felt the tension in her shoulder easing when the arrogant looking lady spoke up with a sneer. “Why does this girl get a job without being screened? Every one of us went through a long process before we were hired but because you found some stray, you are now giving her partial treatment.”Savannah felt her stomach cave. Damn. Someone who hated her with no reason at all was the

Both girls were soon interrupted by Kristen who then ordered Savannah to work with the kitchen staff until she found a permanent spot for her the next day. Happy to be paired with her, Stephanie helped Savannah get comfortable with her duties. A few times, she conversed with some of the maids who were a little mean to her, but altogether, her first day as a maid in Sylvia couldn’t hold a candle to her horrible experience back at Hybern. If things went this way, then Savannah could complete her mission as soon as possible.Now that the shadows had drawn closer to the walls of the castle, Savannah was getting prepared to finish the kitchen duties she was assigned to when Kristen popped up in front of her.“Lena dear.” Kristen said in a voice filled with warmth and a little alarm. Savannah arched a brow. “One of the girls I assigned to serving the king suddenly came down with the flu, please go join the other girls to serve him.”“What?” Savannah felt her eyes bulge. She’d known sooner o

Prince Zhao stood atop the castle’s roof, the cool night breeze caressing his face. The city lights twinkled below, a mesmerizing sight that was usually his favorite, yet Zhao felt utterly disconnected from it. like he could only stare at those twinkling lights without ever reaching them.Sighing, he rose from his perch, his movements fluid and graceful as he approached the railings. He was tired of feeling like the male version of Rapunzel, locked into this fucking castle, away from the vibrancy of life that pulsed beyond the palace walls. Zhao wanted more but the king was the most paranoid being he knew yet no one knew past the confident fatherly front the King of Sylvia put up. To everyone, his father was the all-powerful Lycan King of the South who never got his feathers ruffled, but only his sons knew of his paranoia. He believed if any member of the Royal Family left the castle, then the golden seal would be stolen, which couldn’t be further from the truth. Zhao was confident th
