Chapter 6.
My head hurt badly as I cracked open my eyes, the lights above me were too bright. The bed beneath me was soft and velvety and although my entire body hurt, the sleep was very satisfying.
I looked around and saw myself in a room, everything was white, the bed, the walls and even the door, except for a golden chandelier that hung from the ceiling.
I couldn't remember coming here and my mind was foggy. I brought my hand up to my head and massaged my temples, feeling the ache come back slowly.
Then the memories started flooding in. The meeting. The woods. The guards. The knife. The wolves that found me.
Panic rose within me as I remembered the situation that I was in. I don't know who they were or what they had done to me and why I wasn't dead yet. The stab was supposed to have killed me. My hand moved to the stab wound and felt a bandage wrapped around it.
I couldn't stay here. I didn't know what they wanted. They might be other packless wolves who were looking to sell me for a place in the rogue pack. Or they may be more dangerous. I looked around the room. This didn't look like the room of a rogue wolf without a pack. But I could take any chances.
I groaned as I pushed the heavy duvets off my body and stepped onto the cold floor. My clothes had been changed into a small blue silky nightgown. A material that was very expensive and hard to get.
I wonder who those men are. I couldn't risk it. There was a chance that they were good people who had helped me, but if that wasn't the case, then my life was in danger. I looked around the room and saw a large window to my left.
I rushed to the window and looked down below. It was a very long jump, and I wasn't strong enough to shift to my wolf at this moment. She had been quiet and I was beginning to get worried.
Before I could think of a plan to escape, the door flew open and a lady walked in carrying a towel. As soon as she saw me, her face morphed into an expression of shock and her hand flew to her mouth, ďroppimg the towel.
"You're awake!" She said in shock.
"Who are you?" I said, my voice quivering as I took a step back.
"Please sit, you can't be walking around so soon. You need rest" she said, carefully walking towards me.
"No, tell me where I am" I said, walking backwards till my back hit the window sill.
"I'll tell you but I need you to sit back on the bed" she said carefully
I looked at her up and down. She looked strong and If I tried to run, she could overpower me.
I would have to comply with her and find another way to escape later.
I walked cautiously to the bed and sat down again. She came beside me and picked up the phone on the bedside table and held it up to her ear.
"Tell them she's awake, " she said.
I wanted to ask her who she spoke to, and who needed to know that I was awake. But I knew she wouldn't answer me.
"How long have I been here?" I asked Instead.
"You've been here for three weeks," she answered politely.
Three weeks??
"Have I been asleep for that long too?"
"Yes, but you were drifting in and out of consciousness," she informed me.
"Where am I?" I asked her.
She looked at me but didn't answer.
"I'm sorry, I Shouldn't be talking to you" she said and handed me a glass of water.
Just then, the door burst open to reveal a man. He looked like a doctor.
"Do they know she's awake?" He asked the girl.
"Yes, they have been informed"
"Good," He said.
What did they want with me?
Who are their leaders?
Was I safe?
These questions ran through my head as I sat on the bed. Neither of them were looking at me or offering me any answers.
Just then a lady came into the room.
"Master asked me to prepare her for dinner with them," she said.
She came to my side and helped me stand up, before leading me to the bathroom.
She filled the bath for me and helped me in.
"Where is this place?" I said, hoping she would answer me.
She looked at me and looked away.
"I'm sorry, but I shouldn't be talking with you." She said
I wonder why they aren't talking to me. She sounded scared as if she could be punished just for talking to me.
I stepped into the bathtub and sighed. I couldn't remember the last time I had a warm bath. The servants at the rogue pack had to wake up early in the morning and bathe with ice cold water so that they could also go and help me master's prepare for the day.
I didn't know what they planned to do to me in this place but I could at least enjoy this even if I was going to be killed or sold back to the rogue pack.
After a while, I stepped out, and she was waiting for me with a towel. These were the things I did for the mates of the rogue master's in the pack. They were always wicked and determined to make life hell for the servants.
She led me to the vanity and helped me comb my hair and style it beautifully. I wanted to ask what was happening but I knew I wasn't going to get an answer.
Maybe they mistook me for someone else or they thought I was royalty when they found me.
Then she brought out a long blue gown, and helped me put it on. It was also made of the same expensive material.
Then she led me back to the room.
The other lady and the doctor had left.
"We have to meet them soon," she said quietly.
"Where are we going?" I asked.
"Dinner" she answered.
"With who?"
"The Alpha’s" she answered.
I was led to a big room, so big that a gasp left my lips as soon as we entered the room. I tried my best to remain calm as we walked to the middle of the room where there was a big wooden table.At the top of the table, there was a man, he was wearing a shiny black suit and his eyes were the lightest shade of blue that I had ever seen. I could see them from the other side of the room. As I got closer to the table, I saw two other men sitting beside him. They all sat very upright, their faces very business-like and hard. The lady that brought me stopped at the other end of the table and pulled the chair out for me. I thanked her quietly, and she bowed her head to me before leaving. I was confused. Why was she bowing to someone like me?“Hello” I said, trying to break the silence that lingered.None of them said anything, they just kept staring at me intensely. So, I tried again.“Can you please tell me where I am?” I asked, directing the question to all three of them.This finally sn
Third person.They all watched as olivias figure was led out of the dining room. Immediately she was gone, Jacob faced them and sighed.“She was scared, and you two did not make her feel any better with your questions and tones,” he said.“It is not my job to make her feel better, if she is going to be my mate, then she would have to learn how to be stronger than this,” Christian said.“In case you have forgotten, she is not your mate, but our mate and you have no right to call her weak if you n-do not know what she has been through” damn said, again. He was tired of having to spend time with christian and damon. They behaved like unruly teenagers who had no control over their emotions.“You need to stop feeling sorry for her. She is here to fulfill a prophecy and nothing more, not to be pampered by you or anyone else.” Damon said.“I am not feeling sorry for her, I am only treating her with decency, which is something that you both need to learn” jacob saud, before getting up and st
Olivia. I was escorted back into the same room that I was staying in before. The maid kept her hands on me as she led me into the room. I thought of asking her for an explanation, but I remembered how they had reacted before when I had asked. They all looked scared to offend the alphas, and I understood that because I was also scared. I had no idea what their intentions were, so I made up my mind that I had to escape from this place. I scanned the room for a way to escape. The door outside was guarded by two guards, so there was no way that I could escape through there. As I was thinking, I sensed my wolf becoming stronger. I had missed her as we had not communicated since I ran away from the rogue pack. She needed to gain her strength back, so I let her be without trying to communicate with her. “Do you need anything?” the maid asked. “What is your name?” I asked her. She stared at me for a long time before looking around in fear, like she was scared that she might be
Third person.Jacob kept thinking about what Olivia had told them. As a child, her pack had been raided and she had been taken as a prisoner and turned into a slave. He had heard stories of how the slaves were being treated in the rogue pack, but he had never imagined that it was as bad as that. When they had found Olivia, she had looked starved, with scratches all over her body. Her eyes were sunken in and she was beginning to look like a skeleton. When she sat at the table earlier that evening, the fear in her eyes was very evident, she looked like she was picking and choosing her words so as not to offend them. He had done his best not to make her scared but Damon and Christian had made her scared.He started thinking of ways to make her feel more comfortable. She was staying in his villa. He had put her in one of the best rooms in the villa and made sure she had enough maids to order around if she needed anything, but she still seemed scared.He knew what he had to do. He had t
OliviaI was alone in the room now, Jacob had gotten a call about important business that he had to attend to and he had left the table in a rush, waving me goodbye.I was still confused about a lot of things but at least I knew where I was and how I had gotten here. But knowing that had left more questions in my head.Why would they go through such a sacred ritual to keep my life when they had no idea who I was?Had they mistaken me for someone else?What would happen when they figured out that I am just an ordinary slave?What prophecy was Alpha Jacob talking about?I made up my mind that I did not need the answers to them. I needed to find a way to leave this place immediately. I looked around. The only option to escape was the windows and I would surely die if I attempted to escape through there.Just then, an idea popped into my head. The staff in the villa seemed to respect me or at least not pay me any attention. I slipped my feet into slippers and started walking out of the
Third person.Damon.Damon woke up earlier that morning and had a meeting with his council of elders. The meeting ended sourly and he went back to his room to rest.He had seen Mia that morning but passed her by because for the first time in a long time, he did not feel like having anything to do with her. What was going through his mind was Olivia, and it had been that way since the last time they had lunch together at Jacob's Villa. It was like he couldn’t get her out of his head. Something about her voice, her eyes, the way she bowed her head when she spoke, and the way her voice always came out slowly and cautiously, like she wasn’t sure what to say to them remained in his thoughts.She still looked like she didn’t trust any of them, and he had tried his best to bond with her, but he could not understand why she was not taking the opportunity to be close to him. A lot of women would have thrown themselves on him when they found out who he was. But it seemed like she was closer to
Olivia.I had been in my room when Jacob knocked on the door and walked in. He said he had something important to discuss with me and asked me to meet him downstairs. I nodded and got ready and went down the stairs.He was waiting by the door with a smile on his face that I still did not trust. He had explained things to me. He explained that when they saved my life, I had become their mate. I did not know what that meant but I was starting to understand why all the staff in the mansion respected me. They all attended to all my needs. My Wolf, Eva, was still healing, but I was starting to get worried. I knew the injury I had sustained hurt her a lot, but I needed her to wake up as soon as possible. She was my closest friend and I had gone too long without shifting.I stopped thinking about that and looked at Jacob. He had slowly become a friend and answered all my questions patiently. But I still had it at the back of my mind that I needed to escape. I did not need them to make me
Olivia. I felt a small spark of excitement in my chest. I hadn’t been to a mall in more than ten years. The last memory of being in a mall was when I was nine, before our pack had been raided. My parents took me there to get a birthday present. I shook my head to clear the memory and sighed. I did not want to think about my parents. The door opened by the side and I looked out to see the driver holding it open and I was embarrassed. I had gotten lost in thought and everybody had gotten out of the car except me. Damon was standing outside, looking at me expectantly. I quickly climbed out of the car and went to stand in front of him. “we have to get some necessary things” He said, and started walking inside. I quickly followed behind him so that i wouldn't get lost but it turned out that wasn't necessary, because the crowd of people were parting as he walked. Some of them had fear in their eyes, and the rest had admiration. He walked fast, so i struggled to keep up
