The girl smiled lightly as she advanced into the room to drop the tray on a table. “I was assigned to you by Alpha Anton as your personal maid. I’m Cynthia.”Kyra stared at the girl, Cynthia, in shock. She itched her ear as she thought that maybe she wasn’t hearing properly. It couldn’t be possible that she who was bought would be assigned a personal maid. It was odd."So, I will be waiting on you from henceforth. You can ask anything of me and send me on any errands.” Cynthia said, as she stood straight facing Kyra with her hands clasped together in front of her.Kyra frowned. “Is it normal for someone like me to have a maid in your pack?”Cynthia looked around uneasily. “I can’t really say anything about this matter. All your questions can only be answered by the alpha.” She smiled again and changed the topic, “Your bath is ready.”Kyra staggered to her feet, ignoring everything as she made her way to the bathroom. She slid her robe down her body, and moved to the wooden bathtub tha
Anton’s eyes were glued to the mouth of his Beta, Abraham, who was talking about something. Anton was trying his hardest to concentrate because what Abraham was talking about was an important issue that needed to be taken care of, but his mind was somewhere or more specifically on the little pregnant woman he bought yesterday for a hundred thousand dollars and brought home with him."I think it would be best if we prepare the warriors ahead. With the way the Twilight Pack is going, they are spilling blood. We cannot afford to take it lightly with them, Alpha." Abraham was saying but his brows were twitching as he felt like Anton was looking at him but not listening or registering any of what he was saying.Abraham continued to talk anyways but when he asked a question and Anton was still looking at him without saying a word, Abraham paused and called his attention .“Alpha?” After a few seconds he snapped his fingers in front of Anton’s face and called him in a firm voice, “Alpha, you
Kyra pulled down the purple blankets she’s been clutching hard until it was under her wobbling chin, trying hard not to cry again. She had been crying since she got to her room that morning after fleeing from the corridor at the mockery of the servants, and she was finding it a bit difficult to think straight.If there was something Kyra did not want to hear about then it would be Tristan’s name. Hearing his name opened up wounds she was yet to heal from and made her remember so many things she didn't want to.Things like how she opened her heart to him because they were fated mates only to have it crushed into dust when he told her that he just wanted to use her to get to her father. She wished she’d had someone to talk to her, but her father did not care about her enough for her to go to him to talk about it.Kyra was right to not go to him because what did he do when he found out? He got angry and sold her off.She shouldn’t have stepped out of this room this morning too. She shoul
“Alpha Anton picked out these dresses for you to select from and wear one to lunch.” Cynthia repeated.Kyra could not find any response to give to Cynthia after hearing that these dresses were sent to her by Anton and that she was supposed to pick one and wear it to have lunch with him now and dinner later. Why would he send her different dresses? Did he pick them out by himself? Kyra did not want to even imagine it. Why was he interested in eating with her?She could not find any response from asking herself these questions. Her shoulders slumped down as she released a defeated sigh, “Just help me with any of them.” “You don’t want to pick the one you will wear by yourself?” Cynthia looked surprised.“No,” Kyra responded, “Anyone you pick will do. I’m sure you can pick out the best, right?” She pushed the work to Cynthia. No way was she going to be selecting her dress by herself. They looked beautiful and while she must have enjoyed such activity in the past; picking out her own cl
“What?” Kyra wanted to know the reason for his amusement. Anton said nothing, instead, he jerked his chin in the direction of the chair that was directly at his right-hand side. That chair was reserved for his Luna and no one else so why was he directing her to sit there and not in that chair opposite the one he was sitting at the other end that was far from him? “Sit down, Kyra. Even if I find your face adorable when you are angry, you don’t have to fight me every time.” Anton told her and when she continued to stand there looking at him without a word, he added. “Just sit and have lunch with me, okay?” This was the second time he was giving her something or asking her to use something that was supposed to belong to his Luna. While the maids had been insulting her early this morning, she had heard them talking about the room that was given to her. Kate had a shocked reaction too when Anton said for her to be given the biggest room. “Why are you giving me things that are supposed
“I can’t hear you repeating yourself. Go ahead.” Anton tried to encourage her, oblivious to the turmoil going on in her head at the endearment he was issuing to address her, while still wearing his teasing smile that has become wider.Kyra took her eyes down so that he wouldn’t see just how red her face had become. She licked her lips that were suddenly parched before opening her mouth to thank him again, “Thank you for grabbing me. I would have fallen and hurt myself and my baby if not for you.”“Hmm,” Anton hummed softly before saying what she least expected, “Since I saved your baby’s life, what are you going to give to me to show your appreciation?”“What?” Kyra’s head snapped up quickly and Anton, whose whole attention was focused on her, winced, scared that she could get a whiplash. She also looked surprised that Anton could not help but grumble. “I just asked a little question, you do not have to react this way.”“Why would you want something in return for saving my baby’s lif
Kyra did exactly as Anton had ordered her. She swallowed her protest about sitting beside him on the chair reserved for his Luna and bent her head to focus on the delicious delicacies that had been laid out in front of her.The first time the maids brought the food and spread it out before her, her stomach gave a loud rumbling noise, and she wished the ground would open and swallow her, but that did not happen. She was so embarrassed she did not know where to look. She thought that Anton would tease her or worse, make a snarky remark about it, but he said nothing and instead gestured at the maids to bring her food faster.The first taste of the food nearly brought tears to her eyes. It’s been more than twenty-four hours since she had her last meal, and this one tasted so heavenly. Her father made sure she did not have anything to eat after she was caught trying to escape until she was sold off like a cow. She also refused to touch the food that was given to her when she landed and al
Anton has promised her that they would go for a walk together where he would show her the pack or her new home as he called it, but she never heard from him again until two days later when Cynthia barged into her room once more with different gowns on both of her arms. It made Kyra have a flashback about their lunch together that day. They never got to have dinner together because she was informed that he was busy and would take a rain check.“What are these clothes for?” Kyra asked Cynthia as she eyed the different colorful dresses. She already knew who they were from, so there was absolutely no reason to ask.“Alpha Anton sent them. You are going to a party with him.” Cynthia said as she gazed at the dresses with something akin to longing.“Eh?” Kyra itched her ears, “Sorry but did I just hear you say a party?”“Yes, and you need to prepare quickly because we can’t keep the alpha waiting. He’s not a very patient man.”“I’m not going to any party with him.” Kyra protested. She did
