Killian:Vladimir and I sat in the office, reading through the reports that had arrived from the clubs earlier before calling it a night. I knew that it was Liana, and considering the fact that mom and dad left New York to head to Moscow for the next few months, I knew that she would be reporting to me about the new maids who arrived. “Alpha,” she said, nodding at me and I nodded back at her. She smiled at both Vladimir and I, and we both got up to greet her. The woman has raised us up alongside our mothers, and therefore, we both treated her as a mother. I wrapped my arms around her and hugged her before kissing the crown of her head. Vladimir took her hand in his and kissed her knuckle. “How are you, Liana?” I asked, motioning for her to take a seat. She smiled and sat down as I walked to the coffee table that I had and made her a cappuccino. She wasn’t the type to drink alcohol, and I didn’t force her into something that she didn’t like. “I am fine, son, and how are the two of
Eleanor:I sat on the edge of the bed of the infirmary as I took a deep and slow breath, trying to process what just happened between Liana and I.The way she looked at me, her questions, and even her glares. All that played in my head and I couldn’t help but feel somewhat anxious about her suspecting anything about me.It couldn’t be possible that she was, right?The doctor left a while ago, giving me the privacy to rest while the two nurses stayed behind as they made sure to ‘supervise’ me in case I needed anything. My heart raced with each second that passed as I processed the fact that I left the house, and not only that, but the idea of something happening to lead Elton here was a lot scarier than anything that I could think of. If anything, the last thing that I would want to deal with was an angry Elton. I could barely take him when he was in his normal state.I ran my fingers through my hair and took a deep breath. He wouldn’t think that I was here, I am sure of it. The man w
Killian:I walked inside the suite as Liana was walking out of it. She smiled and nodded at me, and I returned the nod, giving her a quick smile before turning to the maids who were with her. Her eyes hardened as she turned to look at them, her expression was one filled with authority, reminding them of their places in front of their Alpha, and her position as their headmistress. They all lowered their gazes at the sight of me, and I nodded at them to leave before going inside. The day was long enough as it was, and I had to admit, the number of things that I still needed to tend to for the week gave me a headache, especially since I knew that I would need to get them done before the auctions started next month. The number of people who were coming required me to be attentive, forcing them to keep in mind that there was one Pakhan in the area, and I wasn’t planning on sharing my grounds with anyone else. The likes of Elton were plenty, and the Bernardi family who were gathering fo
Eleanor:For the first time since as far as I could remember, I woke up without being startled by someone entering my room.The bedroom’s door was closed. If anything, I even slept without being bruised, getting yelled at, scolded, beaten, or abused. I couldn’t help the small smile that formed on my lips for a second before I checked the time, my eyes widening at the fact that it was a few minutes to six in the morning. The last thing that I wanted to do was annoy Liana, and I knew that I would need to find out where the kitchen was to begin with; therefore, I was sure to get up and quickly freshen up before getting dressed.I put on a new dress, the one that I was wearing was wrinkled and I knew that I would need to iron it before being seen with it. I wore a white apron, reminding myself of Liana’s instructions before tying my hair in a bun.The bruise that was on my neck from Elton choking me was finally healing, however, I knew better than to go against the protocol of what Lian
Killian: I woke up to the sound of my alarm. A frown formed on my lips at the headache that I got before I rolled my eyes and turned to turn off the alarm. I knew that the house’s activity already started and that the maids were either cleaning or tending to their duties. The rest of the pack members were now getting ready for work, school, and universities. Either way, everyone was busy in their own way. The scent of Eleanor hit my nostrils, making me frown as the distinct smell of roses filled my nostrils. I knew that our garden was filled with them, but the last thing that I expected was to catch their scent within the walls of the house. I shook my head, not wanting to bother as I walked toward the bathroom. I was quick to freshen up and shower knowing that I had a long day ahead. Plus, there was also the fact that I needed to ensure that the wedding was through with and that the Italians were gone. The last thing that I needed right now was to bother dealing with them, and I
Eleanor:“The Alpha just left, and I do hope that you didn’t do anything to disrespect or upset him earlier today.” Liana said, entering the kitchen where I was waiting for the Alpha to leave. I feared cleaning and him walking out on me with barely his towel on again. Therefore, I settled on helping the girls out in the kitchen until he was gone.“I have done nothing to upset him, Liana, you needn’t worry,” I said, and she raised an eyebrow. She didn’t respond for a few seconds before nodding at the cabinet that was behind me. “The broom, mop, and bucket are in the cabinet behind you. I do suggest that you start cleaning up, and believe me, I will come and check to see that everything is done properly. Then you will be ironing the Alpha’s clothes. When you’re done, you will come here and help us out in the kitchen,” she said, and I nodded.“Yes, ma’am,” I said, turning around. She didn’t say a word to respond as I opened the cabinet to get the things that I wanted. I also chose to pi
Killian: “Sergio Diaz, just the man that I was looking for.” I said, glaring at the man before shooting one of his bodyguards. The man’s body fell, hitting the ground as blood poured from his head. Vladimir did the same to the other one, watching as he fell to the ground, taking his last breath before Sergio had time to process what was going on. His eyes widened in surprise at my interruption, but he knew not to think of trying something stupid. If anything, he knew that I was the last person that he would want to mess with. And considering that he was doing something behind my back, he knew that I wasn’t here for a drink. “Killian Ivanov, to what do I owe the honor?” he asked, trying to give me the best smile that he could muster. He looked down at the man who was sitting on the desk. I could tell that this was the last thing that both men expected when they tried having this deal, but then again, the last thing that I would ever do was leave my grounds unsupervised. To say the
Eleanor:I hung the Alpha’s jackets as I finally found it in me to take a breath as I finished his laundry. The freshness of his clothes and the suite gave me a sense of satisfaction and contentment. And the fact that for once, I was actually being treated like a human, and for the first time since as far as I could remember, I was hit or yelled at, I couldn’t help but feel calm. However, I couldn’t deny it being somewhat difficult and tiring to get everything done. I could swear that he had too many clothes or that the maids of the pack never did his laundry. Whichever the case was, it took me hours to get everything through with, and though I did expect to initially be done around mid noon, it was now a while past nine in the evening. I did notice the fact that Liana was sure to not only keep me busy with work, but to also ensure that I had random breaks to either eat or even get myself a cup of coffee. The luxury of having to drink it was something that I didn’t expect, especial
