But her dark eyes were sharp, darting nervously across the hallway. "I know you don't know me, child," the woman said, her voice raspy and trembling slightly. "My name is Martha. I... I worked in the nursery quarters at Blackwood pack Estate twenty years ago." I stepped back, opening the door wider. "Please, come inside." Martha stepped carefully into my guest room, her worn leather shoes making barely a sound against the thick carpet. She waited until the guard pulled the door closed from outside before letting out a long, shaky breath. Her hands were trembling so badly she could barely hold onto her own handbag.

Her eyes dared not look at William’s body because there were plenty of love marks on his body. Cecelia may not have any sexual experiences but she was a pervy girl who loved reading novels and comics. The romantic details inside those novels and comics seemed to have occurred on them, sending one piece of shocking information to Cecelia, and that was they had... ‘This and that... that and this!!!’ Cecelia’s mind was in a mess now and William who had not answered her up till now suddenly said, “Done what a husband should do.” ‘What a husband should do...

“Just reminiscing the good old past. Nothing to worry about.” “Oookay then. What’s the story of this Palestine—” “Celestine!” Martha hissed, glaring at her. Laura pursed her lips. “Aight, aight! I was just teasing.” Still eyeing her as though scrutinizing her very soul, she sighed for God knew how many times. “Celestine was unfortunate enough to be chained by poverty. Her mother was on the verge of dying. She didn’t have a proper-paying job before. She barely graduated high school, see. No one wanted to take her.

Chapter 2 As the day progressed, a mildly awake Martha reached her hand to the clock to check what time it was. Although it was just an hour before her first lecture at school would commence, she still gave in to the sleep after battling for a few seconds. Just before she had hugged her pillow completely shut her slightly open eyes, her mother called her name. “Martha, get up hon! Get prepped fast for school! “Yes mum!” said Martha even as she hugged her pillow tighter and still not combated the sleep that dominated her mind. ‘A warm sleep followed by some delightful waffles with honey.

“Almost like they’re searching for something.” “No.” Kael’s voice was quiet. “Someone.” Silence settled over the room. No one wanted to ask the obvious question. Who? ⸻ Meanwhile, Martha disappeared into the orphanage attic. She hadn’t climbed these stairs in eighteen years. Dust coated every surface. Old trunks lined the walls. Her trembling hands reached for the smallest wooden chest hidden beneath a faded blanket. She carried it carefully downstairs before locking herself inside her room. The old brass key still hung around her neck.

With his help, we are able to finish all our chores and close the kitchen some minutes before nine. It's my first time going out of the pack and I'm excited to see what the outside world looks like. Martha drives and we arrive at her house twenty minutes later. She lives outside the pack land in a human town. Her house is a breathtaking, single-story, three-bedroom cottage that looked like it was cut out of a storybook. The building itself seems as if it was built in the center of a flower and vegetable garden that is surrounded by a white picket fence.

Call it even and I'll let you sleep in my bed for a day. Zia scoffed. "A month." "Two days." "Three weeks." "Three days." "Two weeks." Gray grunted. "One week." "Call." "Call." The two shared a quick handshake. "Hey, girls." "Oh, fuck!" Gray whispered as she slightly hopped when Martha appeared from behind their magazines. "I'm sorry I took too long but here." Martha placed a paper bag on the coffee table. "I brought you bread." Then she rummaged through the drawers on the closet and took out a jar of jam and kitchen knife. "And jam." She smiled.

That is when Delilah came across a big fat notebook which looked like a diary as it had a colorful hard cover that had a picture of a denim texture. It was lying on Marie’s bed, and she was not in the room. She had gone out with Rebecca to purchase some candies for home. Delilah was intrigued with that diary because none of Marie’s books looked like that. Her textbooks had the subject mentioned very clearly on the cover page and notebooks were all not so thick. So, Delilah walked inside the room to check what book was lying on Marie’s bed.

That was the hand fate dealt-two queens, two jacks on one side, a jack of diamonds and a queen of diamonds on the other. On the road home, Abigail tried to get to Michelle, once, in an inn. She got more than enough, though. Martha asked her to wait a bit while her mistress had her braids done, and Abigail sat on a couch in a room. A dead rat crawled out from beneath it-a foul-smelling, half-decomposed creature-and started to climb her skirts, clearly aiming for her head.

The other side had been hastily filled with pink bedding and a dollhouse that looked like it cost more than my car. ​"I'll leave you to settle in," Martha said, her eyes casting a quick, sympathetic glance at me before she hurried away. ​The moment the door closed, I remembered the text message. ​Check the hidden pocket in your daughter’s backpack. ​My hands were shaking as I grabbed Mia’s bag. She was already busy showing Leo her stuffed rabbit, sitting on the thick grey carpet. I unzipped the front pocket, then the inner lining. My fingers brushed something hard and thin.
