"Not this time around, there’s something about your blood you’re not saying." He announced.
"I... I don’t understand, Alpha..." I stammered and he paced around me for almost a minute.
I almost died of panic, I don’t remember ever doing anything or being told something as crazy as this.
"You take suppressants whenever you see it, you’re trying to hide your scent which is seeping out faintly." Alpha Ryker muttered and my eyes almost popped out in astonishment.
"I... I would never take suppressants. I have no reason to hide my scent... I found my mate already, there’s no way I could’ve found my mate if my scent was hidden... Alpha." I explained with quivering lips.
They looked calm, their expressions unreadable.
"There’s more to you, slave... There’s a lot of things you’re not saying. Why Dylan wants you at all cost, why your scent is hidden and how Thor was miraculously healed last night." Ryker listed out and I inhaled deeply.
Was I in trouble for trying to help him? Gosh they were so unpredictable, one moment they’re furious and ready to choke me to death, next moment they’re calm, deceptive and calculative and another, they’re assuming me of things I know nothing about.
"I have no clue about what your saying alpha but I’m willing to receive any punishment you give me, alpha." I muttered with my head bowed.
"Take the day off." Ryker announced suddenly, leaving me in shock. For a moment I couldn’t react and when I got a grip of myself, I bowed my head in gratitude.
"Thank you so much, alphas." I whispered as I walked out, relief washing through me.
I returned to my room, ready to spend my day in bed but a knock came and I rushed to the door in fear.
"Here, head out to the town and have fun. Be back before night." Nikolai ordered, placing some money in my hand, making me gasp.
"Wow... Thank you." I whispered, shocked to death.
Was this my compensation? Was it a trap? Whatever it was, I was going to make good use of it.
I threw on a dress and with a smile, I left the pack house, smiling as I glanced at the streets.
I walked into a store, heading to the back to get a little necklace. My eyes caught a gown and I grinned as I stared at the beautiful silver long gown.
It was breathtaking and imagining it on myself, I looked like a goddess.
I inhaled softly as I walked to the back, they had chains, shells, pebbles and trinkets. It was beautiful and surprisingly cheap.
I smiled as I tried on a pebbled necklace, pleased as I stared at my reflection. I paid for a matching hand chain, bowing my head as I handed out the money to him.
I couldn’t help but remember those days when mom would get me a new item and watch me try it on, her eyes glowing with delight.
I exhaled softly, swallowing back tears as I walked out of the store.
I passed by a few food stands, they all looked delicious and I stared at the last piece of money I had, swallowing saliva.
"I’ll have one." I replied with a smile and the store owner nodded, smiling as he handed out the bag to me.
I munched on it with a joyous grin, passing by another store that sold dresses.
"Go in and check them out, nobody would fault you for admiring beautiful dresses." A voice whispered in my head and I nodded, tossing the empty bag as I walked into the store.
I flashed a smile at the attendant as I glanced around, gasping almost every ten seconds when another beautiful dress came to view.
"Wow... Goddess!" I wowed as I stared at a drop dead short blue gown. It was everything any lady would want.
I inhaled softly, spinning around and my eyes almost popped out when I came into view with Elena. frёeweɓηovel.coɱ
Her smile disappeared immediately and I bowed my head, trying to rush out when she grabbed my hand.
"What’s wrong? Not so fast, you filthy thing." She ordered as she pushed me back and I swallowed.
"Plea... Please let me go." I pleaded and she scoffed.
"What is a low life like you doing out in the streets? Shouldn’t you be with your other servants, doing one dirty job?" She pointed out and I swallowed.
She was with two friends, they were adorned in jewelry and flashy clothes. They glanced at me with contempt.
"Please let me go." I pleaded and she burst into laughter, walking around in a circle.
"Why? I’m not letting you go until you tell me what you’re doing here. Is the alpha aware that you’re here? Did you run away from the pack house?" She asked, gasping as she placed a hand on her chest and I shook my head.
"No... I swear I would never... I was asked to take the day off by the alpha. I’m telling the truth, I swear to the goddess with my life." I pleaded and she rolled my eyes.
"I would be a fool to believe the words that escape your filthy mouth. Tell me the truth and I’ll let you go..." She gasped suddenly, her eyes widening.
"You stole from the alpha! You ran away because you stole something from the alpha and now you’re in this shop, trying to steal from this store!" She concluded and I almost collapsed from shock.
"I would never steal. This is a misunderstanding. The alphas gave me the day off..."
"Save your lies! I don’t believe them. Why would they give you a day off? Did you do anything special? Have you forgotten that you’re a filthy maid? Oh my! Did you steal these cheap things too?" She demanded, yanking the pebbled necklace from my neck, cutting it into two as she stared at me with a satisfied smirk.
My eyes watered immediately, she was enjoying this, deriving pleasure from my sadness.
But it was all going to end now,
"Enough! You don’t own me! The alphas would find me in less than an hour if I was ever stupid enough to steal from them or run away! I was given a day of and I’m going to use it." I snapped and she stared at me with dropped jaws, shaking her head in disbelief.
"Oh goddess, I can’t believe this filthy thing has the guts to talk back at you. Just who do you think you are? Do you know the kind of relationship Elena has with your alphas? Have you forgotten that you were once her maid?" Her friend snapped and I burst into laughter.
"When you come to the pack house, you can gallop around and act how ever you want but I won’t let you bully me outside the pack house. Putting up with you in the pack house is more than enough work!" I snapped and she launched at me, grabbing my hair as I wailed in pain.
"Let go of me!" I shrieked as I managed to get a fistful of her hair in my hand. I pulled and dragged while she did the same, screaming in rage as her friends joined in, trying to force me into releasing her hair.
After a great deal go struggle, we both let go, falling to the ground. She was wailing and screaming as she rubbed her scald.
Goddess my scalp hurt, it felt like my head was being peeled.
"You bitch! You’ll pay for this! You’re not going to get away with this! You’ll regret ever being born!" She vowed, launching at me again but the door opened.
"What is going on?" A familiar voice demanded and we went still, slowly turning around to see Alpha Ryker standing there, eyes dark and lips pressed into a thin line.
I could tell he was furious and I swallowed, knowing I’d get into trouble again.
"Alpha Ryker... Your filthy maid!" Elena broke into tears, sobbing profusely while I scoffed. I knew the game she was trying to play.
"She attacked me. I caught her trying to steal in this store... She was also trying to run away when I caught her. I stopped her and tried to make her admit her mistakes but she grabbed my hair, pulling so hard I feel a migraine." She continued, breaking into more tears.
Alpha Ryker remained silent, he just watched her and he nodded softly. Without a word, he grabbed my hand, turning around as we began walking out.
"Al... Alpha!" Elena called out, stunned that he said nothing and he turned around, facing her with a raised brow.
"She... she’s a monster." She added softly and he nodded, turning around as he pulled me out of the store.
I was in shock. Was he going to punish me? Why didn’t he say anything to her? It was strange and scary.
"Goddess please help me."
