{ Grace }

The sudden ring of his cell phone broke the stillness in the room and his gaze slowly pulled away from me.

“ I will be there.” His voice was cold, deep, and filled with authority.

Anyone would sense the power that radiate from him. Our eyes met once again as he pulled out of his seat and started towards the huge black door, his broad back disappearing at every step he took.

I bit on my bottom lip but not painful enough to make me wince.

“ Come and eat before your food gets cold.” Zoe's gentle voice pulled me out of my thoughts. With a warm smile on her face, I hesitatingly strode over to the long table and took a seat.“ I'm glad you finally decided to eat something.” I picked the fork and the knife at each side of the plate.” I hope you enjoy your breakfast, call me if you need anything.” She packed his plate and was about to leave when I spoke.

“ Grace.”

“ You have such a beautiful name.” her gentle gaze lingered on me for a few seconds before, she disappeared into the kitchen.

After eating my breakfast, I went back into my room and curled myself onto the huge bed.

I might have convinced myself to live on, but I didn't know how to make that happen. My father was everything to me and I couldn't imagine myself forgetting him.

I didn't realize when sleep took over my sad eyes, but the minute my eyes shut, all I saw was my father's dead body.

I felt myself back to that horrible night, the night everything changed, the night I lost everything including my home.

In one night, everything was gone and I was left all alone.

Sitting amid the dead pack members beside my father with his blood-stained hand holding mine and with tears streaming down my face.

I suddenly flipped my eyes open.” Grace, are you okay?” I turned my head to the side hearing the familiar gentle voice.

“ Did you have a nightmare?” With a concerned look on her face, I nodded. I could feel my heart thumping in my chest and my face drenched with sweat and rear tears.

Why was it so hard to sleep without having a nightmare?

I suddenly felt empty inside, tears gathering in my eyes.

“ I'm sorry about everything you have been through.” I looked up at her and swallowed hard.

“ I want to visit my pack.” Zoe froze as if I had just said the most forbidden words ever. Her expression suddenly turned undescribable. Her eyes widened in shock but it only lingered for a few seconds.

“ You mean your father?” I nodded slightly.

“ Come have lunch first and…”

“ I want to go now,” I cut her off, and she shut the door behind her and walked over to me. “ I don't think now is the right time.” She sat at the edge of my bed and grabbed my hand.

“ Why?”

“ Because I'm not sure if alpha Cronus won't allow it.” I frowned as I stared back into her eyes.

“ Am I a prisoner?”

“ No dear, you are not a prisoner but you just have to forget…..” I pulled my hand from her grip as I tried to not share a tear. “ He is my father and I can't forget him." my voice was clear and backed by determination.

Zoe stared back into my eyes for a while before letting out a sigh.

“ If you insist, I suggest you talk to him yourself.”

∆∆∆

I swallowed a knot in my throat as I halted before the black door, the same door Zoe told me led to Alpha Cronus’ office.

I raised my hand to knock only for it to push open.

A man with short black hair stepped out; he seemed to be the same age as Alpha Cronus but a bit smaller in size compared to him.” You are?” He asked, and my eyes went into the room; he was seated in his chair while looking at us or maybe me.......

“ Theo.” His deep voice rang in my ears and I felt my stomach twist slightly.

“ I will see you around.” Theo grinned as he walked past me.

I saw him lean in his seat as I slowly shut the door behind me; my hand squeezed the edge of my dress as I walked up to him; feeling his intense gaze, I lowered my head.” I want to visit my father's grave.“

“ No.” His stern voice said almost immediately, and my head raised to look at him.

“ Why?” my father was buried without me, and he didn't want me to visit him.

“ I don't owe anyone an explanation for my actions.” He moved out of his seat and stepped towards me.

“ He is my father and I have the right to visit him.” I protested and backed away when he took a step forward.

“ This is my pack and everyone follows my rule.” His cold yet disdainful gaze made my eyes water. Why did I feel as if he hated my father?

“ If you hate my father this much then why did you bring me here?”

“ Your bastard father doesn't deserve my hatred.” He spit out disdainfully and I stopped myself from shedding a tear.” If what you are saying is true, then why can't I visit him?” I was eighteen and I had the right to do whatever I wanted.

“ I can see your scumbag father didn't teach you manners but as long as you live under my fucking roof, you do exactly as I say” I bit on my bottom lips to stop my tears. “ What if I don't want to live under your roof?”

“ You don't have a fucking choice.”

“ You can't keep me here against my will, I'm eighteen.”

“ Get out of my office!” He let out a growl that shook the building. But I remained standing in my spot, my hand clenching onto my dress and my tears threatening to fall.

“ Alpha?” The door pushed open and Zoe walked in.” Take her out of my sight and make sure she never appears before me ever again.” He warned and Zoe immediately grabbed my hand and walked me out of his office.

The moment the door to his office shut, my tears started streaming down uncontrollably. He hated my father, so why did he save me?

Why did he bring me here if what I saw in his eyes were true?

I was wrong about him, I was blinded by his good looks.

“ Calm down, Grace. I'm sure everything will be okay.” Zoe helped me into my room. As much as I wanted to believe her, I couldn't. “ He hates me.” I sobbed loud enough to reach the four corners of the room. “ No, I don't think he does.” Zoe said but I knew she was only trying to make me feel good.” You weren't there; he didn't want to hear anything about my father.” I choked on my sob.

Zoe grabbed the glass of water at the bedside and tried to hand it to me.” Have a sip, it will help you calm down.” I shook my head instantly and dived under the bed sheet.” I want to be alone.”

When I opened my eyes, it was dark outside, and everywhere was dead quiet. An instant thought came into my mind as my eyes settled on the opened window.

Maybe it was best I leave, it was obvious I wasn't wanted here.

I didn't know why he hated my father so much but I wasn't going to accept help from someone who hated my father so much.

I slipped down from the bed and walked over to the balcony; the distance between the forest and the mansion was a bit large, but I could get in without being noticed, especially at this time of the night.

I stared back at the clock on the wall, and it said seventy minutes to midnight.

I have been here for days, what if someone in the pack survived? What if not everyone died that night?

Everyone couldn't have died that night, right?

I hurried to the door and slowly pushed it open. I walked my way silently from the stairs and out of the mansion, barefooted.

My feet took me as fast as they could into the dark forest. The moonlight wasn't reflected, and everywhere was darker than it was supposed to be.

I didn't let my fear get the best of me and resumed running.

    { Grace }With my bare feet touching the cold ground of the forest land, a chill ran up my spine. The misty smell of rotten leaves and after rain filled my nostrils.With the dark space of the forest, I could feel my heart pounding violently and my every step resounded in the dim forest. The rattling sound of animals could be heard, the cold wind rushing through my hair and swaying it back and forth.The sound of dry leaves crushing under my feet each time my feet collide with the cold ground. I didn't know how long I had been running, but the forest seemed bigger than I anticipated. I could see the unending darkness ahead, but my feet were already given up as I could feel immense pain under my feet.A low growl resounded in the eerie forest, piquing a newfound fear in me, but I didn't stop running.

    { Alpha Cronus} “ What do you want, Zoe?” I asked without bothering to look up.” Alpha Cronus, please have Merci and let her out of the dungeon. Forgive her ignorance, she is just a pup. “ Pup? “ She is fragile and can't bear it.” She said and I lifted my head to look at her. She seemed concerned about her and I wasn't surprised with her soft heart. Zoe was just like her mother, fucking caring. “ How did you know that Zoe?” she was fragile, yet she was too stubborn and dared to disobey me. She fucking spoke back at me and didn't hesitate to tell me what was in her mind. She even questioned my authority like a disrespectful brat! What the fuck did she expect when she went against me? What could have happened if I didn't get there in time? The central pack was one of the oldest packs; therefore, there were countless wild animals surrounding its lands. Modernization might have taken the world by storm, but Central Pack was still far behind, maybe because of its geogr

A heat of confusion settled in my mind as I stared around to be sure I wasn't hallucinating. “ How did I get here?” I tried to get off the bed but a hand held me down.” Don't put pressure on your injury, it's the doctor's advice.” She said and my eyes went up.” Doctor?” Was I in the hospital? “ Zoe?” I asked as if I didn't believe what I was seeing. “ Your injury is yet to heal. “ She said with a relieved expression on her face. My foot was covered in a white bandage with a white pillow placed underneath it.” What happened to me?” I asked because the last thing I thought I remembered was fainting on the floor in the dungeon.” You fainted after bleeding so much.” Zoe explained.” Bleeding?” I frowned. “ It's okay if you don't remember, just focus on recovering first.” She handed me two pills, and I grabbed it after hesitating for a while.” This will he

    { Alpha Cronus }I stayed in the comfort of my office and haven't seen her for the past few days, but I have been getting an update on her from Callous, Drew's uncle, who was also a doctor in the pack, and according to him, she was recovering.“ The bandage has been taken off, and she can now walk freely without hurting her good foot,” Callous explained. I unconsciously sighed in relief, and Callous scoffed. “ She is quite obedient.” He added before turning to leave my office. A frown clouded my eyes as I watched the closed door. What did he fucking mean by she is obedient?I close the document before me and lean in my seat. What the fuck did Callous mean when he said she was obedient?I mindlinked Zoe to come into my office, and in less than two minutes she was standing before me.” How is she doing.” I buried my face in the document and started writing on it.” She has been recovering pretty fast…” “ That is all I needed to hear.” I cut her off. “ Okay, alpha.” “ Does she take her

    { Grace } I stood on the balcony, looking down at where my hairpin had fallen for almost thirty minutes without moving an inch. I knew getting down there wasn't a good idea, especially when I was likely to encounter him again. There was no way I was letting that hairpin slip out of my possession. I thought for a while, and then Zoe came into mind; what if I asked Zoe to help me look for it? Would it be rude? Besides, it was late. I let out a frustrated sigh. “ You aren't asleep yet?” I turned back from the balcony. “ I didn’t mean to startle you,” Zoe said, and my gaze lowered down to the glass of water in her hand, and I knew immediately that it was for me. She had been very attentive towards me for the past few days, and I appreciated it. That was why I wouldn't stress her more than I have already done.” No, it's okay.” I stepped forward and took the glass before walking to the bedside to get the tablets. “ You should rest early.” Zoe was about to turn when an eerie growl res
