บททั้งหมดของ Owed By Alpha Agora : บทที่ 11 - บทที่ 20

Seraphine's pov.When I opened my eyes, the room I found myself in was not something I recognized. TheThe room was sparsely decorated and had just a king-sized bed, a wardrobe in the corner, and aA little door that probably led to the bathroom.My mother came into the room, her face full of aggression as she grabbed my collar tightly,choking me."I told you to obey the Alpha and everyone around you. Now look at what you've done.Everyone hates me in the pack," she spat out venomously."Mother, I try to do everything they both want, but that makes me fall into trouble with theother," I replied, tears pouring down my face."That's because you are a good-for-nothing trash. You always tend to get into trouble. I curseThe day I gave birth to you," she yelled, pushing me against the wall.The impact made me scream when I opened my eyes again.Dang!!! That dream felt real.Maybe too real.I felt the pain still hammering in my head, and my body on fire. What was going on? Why wasI'm in p

Seraphine's pov. "Yes, your majesty," I said, my voice almost breaking from fright."That maid didn't help you, did she? She was accused, right?" he asked, staring me in the eyes. I immediately looked down, my eyes facing the ground. "Look at me," he thundered, his hand finding my chin roughly.I was forced to stare at the Alpha and almost felt myself shaking like a leaf."Yes. She wasn't. But I didn't see the face of the person who helped me," I said, years already forming in my eyes. He let go of my chin and walked out. I fell to the floor, my heart racing as I felt a sting of pain crush me. I imagined my life before coming to the palace and almost cried.I recalled having a few friends at home, and we would have sleepovers and play around. Even as an omega, I had decent friends who wouldn't make fun of me or bully me. If someone tries to say anything mean, then my friends would get into a fight with that person.We didn't necessarily have to win, but it's the thought that counts.

Agora's pov.I stared at her face as she seemed fixated on something. What was she staring at?I turned my head toward where she was looking and saw her father. Of course, I knew her father. He was the one who offered to sell his daughter to me so he could be paid and be among the nobles.She was staring at him with pain in her eyes. I just scoffed. What was she expecting?"Let the meeting commence," I declared, waving my staff to the crowd.They all seemed to pay attention to me, and the gaze to Seraphine seemed to have disappeared. Someone in the crowd raised a hand, signaling he wanted to speak. I raised my staff in permission."I think I speak for everyone when I say we are confused as to why this woman is here, standing beside you, in a council meeting meant for men alone," he said, looking in the direction of Seraphine.I cleared my throat, ready to speak, and stared at Seraphine. She just stood still, scared and not wanting to look at the council. She looked like a shadow of he

Seraphine's pov"Alpha Agora. It's so nice to meet you again," he said, her voice sickly sweet. For the first time, I saw Agora unable to speak. It was obvious they knew each other, judging from the way he said her name. But the way she reacted when she saw him, like she wasn't shocked, baffled me. I mean, why is she the only one not shocked?"What are you doing here?" he asked, his voice anything but nice."I'm the new beautician," she said, that smile still plastered on her face."The what?" he said, shocked for the second time."Well, when Lady Verya told me about the open position and requested that I be the beautician, who was I to decline? You know how much I love making people look good now, don't you?" she asked. I just stared at both of them, from Agora to her. I couldn't understand what was going on, and my curiosity was piqued."Do your thing," Agora said, turning around to go out. Once he was out the door, the last turned to me, her once smiling face turning to a smirk."S

Seraphine's povAnaya stared at me, waiting for my reply patiently."I don't have a mate... yet," I lied.The thought of my mate being the one pushing me into danger made my heart almost bleed. Yes, I didn't have feelings for him. In fact, I loathe him. But he is supposed to have some sympathy so as not to allow his mate to be the one to go on a mission this deep.Some maids would kill to be in my position and go on this mission, but I wasn't one of them. "We'll find a way," she said.I nodded and sighed"I'll have to go to the kitchen. It's time for our afternoon meal, and I have some time left," I said, and we both walked out, solemnly. As we arrived at the kitchen, we were met by Lady Verya, who stood by the door, her hands on her waist as she frowned at the sight of us."So you two are friends?" she asked, staring from me to Anaya.Anaya stared at me for a second, then turned to Lady Verya."We aren't that close. She is just a fellow maid and we both came across each other on the
