Chapter 20Eva's POVAs I sipped down the wine that was served to me. A man in his thirties came to me with a glass of wine in his hand. His eyes raking down my body. As I was playing, I saw something out of the corner of my eye. I turned to look, and I saw a deer standing in the distance, watching me with curious eyes. I stood still, not wanting to startle it, and I just watched it as it watched me. It was like we were having a silent conversation, connecting through our shared love of the forest. Then, as if sensing that I meant it no harm, the deer turned and bounded gracefully away. I felt like I had been given a gift, a moment of connection with the natural world. It was a moment I would never forget."After the deer had gone, I turned to look for Ria. I saw her standing under a tree, looking up at the leaves as they danced in the wind. She had a smile on her face, and I knew that she had felt the same sense of peace that I had. We walked back to the castle together, talking ab
Chapter 21Eva's POVAfter Ria had gone to meet her father, Alpha Mark sent one of his maids to get me. "I will be there." I told her and the maid nodded and walked away. I knew what he was about to do. He wanted me to come to his room just so he could shove his enormous cock inside of me. I didn't want to go but to prevent him from punishing me, I went. I found myself in front of the door debating whether to knock or not. But then I heard his voice. It was like he was behind me. How did he know that I was behind the door?I scoffed and entered. I didn't bother knocking because what is the use of knocking when he just asked me to enter which I did. He was the only one in his room. He was still cladded in his white Calvin Klein shorts and matching singlet. I could see the way his cock stood erect. I knew what he wanted. I stood back and he approached me. "Don't tell me you are still scared of it. It won't bite you." He said and right before me, he pulled down the part covering his
Chapter 22Eva's POV"You know what?" I said, my voice shaking with anger. "I'm not going to let you talk to me like that anymore. I'm not some servant who you can order around. I'm a human being, and I deserve to be treated with respect." The head maid's face turned pale. She was clearly not expecting me to stand up to her like that. But I wasn't backing down. "If you want me to do my job well, then you need to treat me with the respect I deserve. Otherwise, I'm not going to be able to do my best work."Just because Alpha Mark was treating me bad doesn't mean she can add to it. Suddenly another maid came requesting me to do something. "Miss. Yvonne wants you to bring her favorite tea" the maid said to me. Yvonne is Alpha Mark's mistress and she will make my life miserable if I don't do what she asked of me. Not like I am scared of her but that doesn't mean that I would follow whatever she asked me to do. She is more than cruel and ruthless than the head maid.I felt a knot of dread
Chapter 23Eva's POVI turned to see who it was. Who dared to interrupt me. It was Mark. I tried tried to withdraw my hand from him. But he was so strong that I felt his nails sinking deep into my palm.His eyes were cold, and I could see the anger in them. I knew that I had crossed a line, and I was in deep trouble. "What's going on here?" he demanded, his voice low and threatening. Yvonne took a step back, looking at him with fear. "It's nothing, Alpha," she said, her voice shaking. "She's just being difficult, as usual." Mark turned to me, his eyes blazing. "Is that true?" he asked. "What happened here?" I was at a loss for words. I didn't know what to say. I just stood there, my chest heaving as I burned in anger. With a flexible movement I didn't know I possess, I withdrew my hand from his and walked away from them. I threw the napkin I was holding on the floor not caring about anything anymore. All I wanted now was the leave this place. Was to leave this hell of a place. Ho
Chapter 24Eva's POV"I really wish you won't leave and your life will be better." She said and hugged me again. I smiled at her and we talked till midnight before we slept. She slept right beside me but in the morning was much worse because the head maid was bent on making our lives a living hell. Especially me but I don't allow her to succeed. She poured us water making us so drenched."How dare you!" I cried out, outraged. "Why are you treating us like this?" Ria looked equally furious. "You're out of control!" she shouted. "You're the one who's supposed to be in charge of us, not abusing us!" The head maid sneered at us. "I am in charge here, and I'll treat you however I please," she said. I could feel the anger boiling up inside me, and I struggled to keep my composure. "We're not going to take this anymore," I said. "We're going to tell Alpha Mark what you've been doing."Then the head maid wore a crazy smile that showed that she was mocking us. She knew Mark wouldn't do anythi
Chapter 25Eva's POVMark's expression hardened. "It's not like that, Eva," he said, his voice low. "I know I haven't been giving you the attention you deserve, but it's because I've been busy with other matters. And you know how important these meetings are. I need you by my side, to show the other Alphas that you're mine." I sighed. I knew he was right, but I was still feeling resentful. "I know, but I just don't want to do this," I said, my voice sounding petulant, even to my own ears."you can't run away from your responsibilities, Eva. You are mine and you belong beside me, do you understand?" He said.I looked into his eyes, and I saw the frustration there, but also something else. Was it... concern? Worry? I wasn't sure. But I did know that I didn't want to be the source of any more stress for him. He had enough on his plate as it was. "Okay," I said, relenting. "I'll go to the meeting with you." His expression relaxed slightly, and I could tell that he was relieved. "Thank you
Chapter 26Eva's POVWe arrived at the location where the meeting was to be held. It was a grand conference hall, filled with the Alphas and Lunas from the most powerful packs. They were seated around a large table, and I could feel the weight of their stares as we made our way to our seats. I could feel Mark's hand on my arm, a reassuring presence. I tried to keep my head held high, despite the nerves fluttering in my stomach.Even though he was just here to show me off even when all he does was to treat me like his mistress and maid. For a while, I was sad and angry they I just watched all of them as they talked. I didn't want to contribute to whatever they were saying because I could see his happy the remaining Lunas were with their mates, the Alphas. But mine was pretty different.Mine was a different story. I was aware that my situation with Mark was vastly different from the other Lunas'. While they were happy and content with their mates, I was here by obligation, not by choice
Chapter 27Eva's POVI wanted to show him that I was strong that I could become someone he could respect and love and care for.My mind was racing as I considered the implications of my words. Did I really want to become a Luna? Did I want to rule by Alpha Mark's side? I was unsure, but I knew that I had taken a step forward in establishing myself as a force to be reckoned with. I was no longer just a quiet, submissive woman, but someone who could speak up for herself and stand up for what she believed in. I felt a surge of pride, and a newfound confidence. I was ready to face whatever came next.I was so ready to face it. I excused myself to the Restroom. I needed a moment to myself. I slipped out of the room, grateful for the brief respite from the eyes of the others. I made my way to the restroom, closing the door behind me. I leaned against the counter, taking a deep breath. My mind was reeling from the events of the past few minutes. I felt like I had grown and changed so much,
