Anastasia's POV.“Bring them over here, Ginny.” I said, making way for her.I watched as she struggled with lifting the large wooden crate of vegetables on the cart. We were supposed to transfer about twenty of them to the kitchen store this morning and we have only carried two. I can't blame us though; here I am, a helpless pregnant maid who isn't even meant to be seen doing strenuous work and Ginny, well, her arms are just too slender.“Here, let me help,” I said as I approached her.“What? No, Anna, you're…” she objected, cutting herself off. Her eyes darted around to check if no one was within ear’s reach. “You're pregnant,” she whispered with concern etched in her tone.I shrugged, “Pregnant, not helpless or lazy. Come on, let's lift this thing.” I said dismissively as I crouched to lift the crate.She opened her mouth but closed it back and sighed, “If you say so,” she crouched also and on a countdown, we lifted the crated with our joint strength, unto the cart.See, not so bad.
Mathias' POV.I can't deny that I actually felt a bit nervous calling her. I mean, I know that I'm the Alpha and I shouldn't fear anything but…sigh…I don't know why anytime she's around, my heart raced multiple times. It's like a chain reaction, one that connects her presence or the thought of her to my heart directly.Even now, as she opened the door to my chamber, I could feel my heart skipping.I tried to remain calm as she shut the door behind her. The way she interlocked her hands in her front and looked around the room gave her a cute ambiance. She really looked so innocent and delicate. Someone I wouldn't dare break.I saw that she didn't see me where I was. I was sitting behind a thick curtain in my study across from the door. I decided to announce my presence.“How are you?” was what I could come up with as I stood up. Luckily, I hadn't startled her. The smile that spread on her face made my heart jostle with exhilaration. I decided not to show my reactions.Walking around th
Anastasia’s POV.I woke up early today, and I hated that I did. Ever since Alpha Mathias had decided to treat me like …well, unlike a maid, Madame Sheryl had seemed to reduce the workload I get. I wasn't on morning dining duties like before anymore. My chores would only begin from early noon.I guess waking up early has just been a part of me. But now I have nothing to do for the next five hours.Well, I could use that opportunity to rest and take my medications. I stood up from the bed and walked to the table. There was a jug of water there which I drank from.I looked at the door, hoping Dane wasn't there to listen to me. I went to the small shelf at a corner of the room and opened it. There were a bunch of clothes there ; clothes I did not personally own but were given to me.Moving the clothes aside, I unearthed the medicines I had hidden there. Going back to the table, I began to take them according to how they were prescribed.I still haven't decided what I was going to do about
Anastasia's POV."Get your filthy hands off me!" I bellowed at the guards that struggled to push me into the cell. Its not like I can't walk in on my own."Stay put, you piece of garbage!" One of them snarled back. They didn't even listen to me by letting me go. They dragged me with my chains into the cell and I couldn't help but fall down.I groaned in pain of crashing into the stone filled ground but the guards didn't even bst an eyelid at me."The Alpha – your grandfather – has ordered us to make sure to deal with you mercilessly." The senior guard amongst the two said, a sickening grin spreadinv across his lips.I didn't fail to notice the scorn in his tone, especially when he tried to remind me of my grandfather's hatred towards me."And trust me when I say I'd do that with full joy, especially when it's going to be my last time doing it before I move to my new position." He said again, bursting into a sick round of laughter, exposing his yellow teeth as a result.Captain Shiro .
"I've had it with your intolerable behavior in this pack!" Grandfather roared at me.I was seated in a chair in his office, grateful that he didn't make me to stand because my thighs were killing me terribly. I would need to dress them properly soon."You ..." Grandfather's voice bellowed, "I'm going to make sure you get sold to the Nightshade pack, you'll see!" He said in fury, his blond brows were furrowed and his eyes were etched with hatred.The Nightshade pack? No ..."Grand – I mean, your highness, please, you can't send me there ..." I pleaded with him, leaning forward from my chair."Silence! You have caused enough troubles for us in this pack, your behavior is just so disastrous that your presence is becoming a plague!" He declared at the top of his voice.I gulped in a lump of saliva and sunk back into he chair.He also relaxed into his bigger chair, rubbing his fingers on his temple. "If only your parents were here ..." He sighed, shutting his eyes momentarily.There we go
The Nightshade pack is well known for their unmatched influence in the whole of the Westlands, which is one of the most prolific continents amongst the four.They were also well known for their ruthless battle sense – easily taking their enemies and subduing them – and then they put them through the most horrible kind of situations afterwards.And that wasn't all, rumours have been flying around recently that illegal street fights and duels were popular in Nightshade pack. And of course, these duels often lead to deaths – gruesome and unpleasant ones at that.Hence, Nightshade pack isn't somewhere one would want to wake and meet themselves in. But as fate would have it, that's where I am being sold to.I knew grandfather must have had to write that I was his granddaughter for them to come. Nightshade wasn't the kind of pack to be seduced by a slave trade offer of only one single slave."Move it, you slug!" One of the guards from my own pack snarled behind me before pushing me forward
"Rise!" A new voice bellowed in the hall, and everyone stood and scrambled to their feets.Of course, we all tried to get a view of the infamous Alpha but he was surrounded by several men, probably his beta and some guards.Murmurs were echoing in the hall and it now took a strong will from the guards to keep us mute.The Alpha cleared his throat and it seemed to be amplified by something. Everyone could now see him, including myself.What? With the way my Asian 'friend' had explained his attributes, I was expecting to see a middle aged ugly and grumpy looking giant. But standing before us all was just a young, – probably in his mid twenties like myself – overly handsome, averagely built and sexy looking man.He was nothing like the description I had received. But – how ...how can someone of such beauty be so gruesome and cold hearted?"As most of you might have heard of, I am Sirius Night, Alpha of the Nightshade pack." He said, his voice was like the most beautiful song I have ever
Alpha Sirius' POV"Arrgh!" I yelled loudly, raining barrages of punches on the poor guard. He was laying there on the floor, his face looked like a mangled mess. That was the work of my hands.This is what I usually do whenever I needed to take out my anger."Next?" I turned my gaze around and said. The guards lined up behind me shivered without saying a word. Of course, none of them would want to experience what their fellow comrade had experienced.I grabbed one of them however and threw him at the wall angrily. Then I moved over to him and aimed a punch at his head but he dodged it and slipped away.A smile crept up my lips, I like the ones who fight back."Show me what you got!" I told him before bolting towards him.As I rained punches at him, images of what I had done in the slaves hall flashed through my mind. I didn't know exactly what I was angry at, I was just angry. What I did...|Flashback|"Don't you hurt her!" I yelled at the top of my voice but I didn't care. He touched
