*Jane*"Would you rather drop this topic, or better yet, be thrown out?" His sudden outburst silenced everyone.No one dared to speak or challenge him, as Damon's icy demeanor was quite intimidating.Alpha Brutus was initially stunned but then retorted coldly, "Are you trying to chase me out like you did with Alpha Ryker?"Sensing the tension in the room, I knew things wouldn't end well. Wait a minute, where are Emily and her mother, Adira? I couldn't help but scan the living room for any sign of them.Mara must have heard my muttering because she leaned over and whispered, "They should be in the guest room.”Hearing that, I softly nodded. The incident of last time still refreshes my mind.I sighed, trying to shake that incident off my mind. It wasn't worth it, dwelling on that.Glancing at the different expressions on everyone's faces, I knew it was going to be a long day, but what can I do other than watch? Nothing.This old Alpha Brutus has instructed me not to leave, so I just can
*Jane*“You're clearly acting irrationally, Butler Zeeb,” Alpha Brutus puffed, his breath labored.Zeeb scoffed. “Irrational? I don't think so. Repeatedly challenging King Damon is what’s truly irrational,” he retorted.Without waiting for Alpha Brutus to respond, Zeeb shouted impatiently, “What are you guys still waiting for? Escort him out!”Before anyone could react, two hefty guards were already at Alpha Brutus's side.“Leave me, don't touch me!” Alpha Brutus yipped, struggling to break free. But it was all in vain.When they had reached almost the door, Damon's cold yet chilly voice was heard.“Alpha Ryker, your time for visitation at this castle is over. Before the end of today, leave with your family.” His voice was chill yet decisive.“....”The looks on everyone's face was completely unexplainable. It was obvious they found Damon's actions as unreasonable; afterall who in their right state of mind would want to offend many Alpha's at once.Before everyone could get out of the
*Jane*My eyelid shakened, as it struggled to adjust to the light. With a flickering eyebrow, I sighed deeply, as my opened eyes landed on them.How disastrous!Looking at their cold angry faces, I knew I wouldn't come out unscratch. They would probably vent all their frustration on me. Hmph!“Just look at their scary faces, Argh.” Mara quivers, with her body closer to me.I didn't respond to her, and I gave her a small look, which showed I agreed with her. Their faces were really scary.“What are you both talking about there?” Alpha Brutus' voice sent chills into my body, making me snap back to reality.Right now, I was facing them all. How on earth could I be so stupid to be talking to Mara rights when I was standing in front of them.Looking polite, I glanced at him and only responded after some moments. “It's nothing. We were just about going upstairs.” I quickly said.Obviously, when I was silent for those few seconds, I was deeply contemplating what my response would be. Denying
*Jane*I stared at their disbelieving faces in a daze, wondering what punishment I would be getting.While I was feeling anxious, I heard one of them stutter. “She… really calls him… by his name.” It was as if he'd heard a very unbelieving word.With their reaction, I panicked even more. My beating heart kept rising steadily, with no intent of stopping.Goodness,The speaker darted his eyes at the others, who were also having blank looks.After some time, they all gathered their minds and composed themselves properly.“Do you normally call King Damon by his name?”I sighed heavily at that question. I couldn't help but grumble inwardly, wanting to know why the first question that was asked after they regained their senses was if I normally call Damon by his name.Should I say yes, it would complicate my problem..And If I should say no, they would most definitely not believe me and feel I'm hiding something.Ugh, I slowly want to succumb to slumber. If I did just that, I wouldn't be pe
*Jane*Mara seemed to drift into a trance as she stared at me. It was clear she wanted to know why I was laughing.“Aren't you angry?” she asked, sounding surprised.I glanced at her, struggling to contain my laughter, and slowly nodded. “No, I’m not angry.”I could tell from her expression that she wasn't convinced of my response. So before she could respond, I added, “After all, I also supported us touring outside the castle. It’s not your fault or mine that we encountered them.” I reassured her.Upon hearing my reassurance, Mara let out a long, relieved breath.As we turned our attention back to the others, we heard Zeeb’s next words in response to Alpha Brutus’s question. A spark of joy blossomed within me at what he said.“She’s no stranger,” he declared.Silence filled the room instantly, and everyone’s expressions tensed. Despite the quiet, I could sense the underlying tension.I decided not to dwell on it. It was too bothersome to worry about how Alpha Ryker and the others fe
*Jane*I rolled my eyes inwardly at what Alpha Brutus had said last. What does he mean by this?From my knowledge, I didn't remember ever doing anything that would earn me being taught a lesson yet Alpha Brutus made it sound all natural as though I was someone meant to be punished.“Well, I don't think it's in your position to teach her a lesson even if she's indeed a brat.” Zeeb retorted.I don't know why but even though I wanted to act all normal hearing him standing up for me, I couldn't do that. It felt so touching being supported.“You…” Before Alpha Brutus could barely complete his words, Zeeb's sharp eyes were now on those two guards. “I can see you're craving to be fired, right?” He asked calmly, his eyes fixed on the guards.Although he seemed to have dropped his question calmly, any normal person could easily detect the coldness yet solemnity in his voice. He wasn't joking, was he?Would he seriously be willing to fire the guard's just like that? My mouth agape.However, th
*Jane*Without giving Zeeb another glance, we made our way upstairs in silence, both of us sulking over our ruined touring plans. It would have been better if we had not come downstairs today at all. However, the deed was already done. Too bad for us.When we reached my room, Mara quietly opened the door, and we both walked in. Getting into the room, I glanced at my bed. “Pa!” I didn't waste time, before falling flat on my bed.Today was so stressful and it wasn't within my expectations. Mara, on the other hand, dragged her body to the soft chair and sat down. She seemed extremely fatigued.It was obvious she was pretending to be fine when we were downstairs.At first, I wanted to laugh upon sighting her seating posture, but then again, I couldn't help but feel pity watching as she closed her eyes.As my eyes stayed fixed on her for almost a long time, I suddenly realized something.“Wait, is she sleeping? Like, right in my room!” I almost screamed, as I mumbled inwardly.If anyone
*Jane*Before I knew it, Mara appeared at the door. “I'll be right back. Let me get the dice,” she shouted, then left the room.I wanted to say something, but my voice trailed off. She had left already, so I could only stop speaking.Realizing she might take a while, I settled into a chair and slowly took out the neatly kept, newly bought phone.“Wow!” I gasped. There were no other words perfect for such a beautiful phone.Honestly, this should be my first time looking at a phone this intensively. It felt so cool touching it.However, although I kept admiring it, I did nothing other than that. I don't know how to operate it, so it seems nothing but a little fascinating item to me right now.Just as I was admiring the phone, I heard the door opening sound. It was probably Mara. We're going to be playing a game, so it was normal not to be any distraction. I gently returned the phone back to where it was kept.After doing that, I glanced at the door and truly it was Mara who had just en
