All Chapters of THE SLAVE THAT STOLE THE ALPHA'S HEART.: Chapter 11 - Chapter 20

Something's different. Griffin feels it too. Our mate...she's pulling away from us. And yet she's acting as though she wants to be closer. That day when it was barely dawn just after I sent her away, we saw each other in my private woods then she had made one request. "I want to share my meals with you," she said. We were 4 days away from the end of the week, it seemed like such a bizarre ask especially considering what she wanted before for how to so quietly concede to something so simple since around there was going in my head. Part of me thought -and maybe hoped a little- that she wanted to be intimate with me before she left. However we've had two days so far of meeting at breakfast, lunch and supper. I expected her to pull a move during any of those times but she didn't not once. She would come and share the meals with me just as she had requested as both of us engaged in surface level conversation that feels like we were talking a lot and yet not at all at the same tim

I was heading over to the kitchen to get the ingredients that I needed to make breakfast for both me and Ian. He said he would be having a let's breakfast because of something that happened recently and he holed up in his office for a while. After he said it he looked at me like he expected me to implode, but I remain as calm and sweet as I had forced myself to be for the past couple of days. So far I think he suspect me.I had been acting differently but I didn't think he would care that much, no matter what he still just saw me as a slave right so there was no way he could think of me as an actual threat to him. Unless he knew about my conversation with his brother, there was no solid reason to think that I was problematic. And it had been that way with everyone else that thought that they owned me they all underestimated me thinking that I was incapable of standing up for myself.But I would not be a Wrath if I forgot about my pride.That was something I could never forfeit eve

The way Ian yelled, I couldn't believe it. Even I myself was shaking. His full Alpha aura came out, and I wondered if I had gone too far. I decided that maybe I had, because as I gradually stood up, I saw him looking at the chef with murderous intent.To make sure that no blood was shed, I shoved past the chef and rushed over to Ian. "Good morning, Grand Alpha."Normally I would just call him by his name, but I was referring to him this way because we were amongst other people and they didn't need to know how close we were just yet. For them, they should just see me as a pitiful slave. For anyone that was also vying for the position, they shouldn't see me as a threat, or else they might choose to get rid of me before I even have the chance to claim what is meant to be mine.His hand was reaching up to touch my cheek, and I signaled for him not to with a small shake of my head. Those fingers curled into a tight fist, and he looked at the chef again.Still looking at me, he told the che

The day ended with me at the annex, and something about that made me want to punch a hole through the wall. I was charming, I was caring. Ian reciprocated to it all. You could tell that he had to keep his wolf on a very tight leash. After all our first-and only-night together was something that I thought would have been repeated by now. Yet even on the moments when it felt like he was finally about to quit and give in he was so frustratingly resilient. "Couldn't he cave just once? ""Who isn't caving?"It was like cold water had been splashed over my back and and began to rapidly trickle down I turned around gasping and swinging my fist in reflexive protection a grip stronger than I had expected held my hand in place."Didn't you know it was me?" He said the group softening as he robbed around my wrist a yanked my hand away from his."I already knew who it was from your annoying voice," I told him. He chuckled, "well at least my voice is memorable to you. That's a good thing righ

I wasn't able to sleep early that night, when I woke up the next morning light pouring into the bedroom I couldn't push away in the feeling of unease-the fact that it all felt so temporary. But I already had a plan in motion... If everything goes right.... Then... I jumped out of bed deciding that I was not going to spend the rest of the day just thinking about that and have to begin preparing breakfast for me and Ian. First I began with some of the cleaning of the annex, the headmaid occasionally dropped in from time to time to see if I was actually maintaining the place and since I could not explain my true relationship with Ian yet I had to keep this up, also it kept me occupied when my mind would have been wandering around on its own to memories that I needed to leave be for now.I was taking the broom to the living room when there was pounding on the door and I was confused it was repeated another loud too.Setting the broom aside I went over to the door to inspect what was go
