27The next day, when she woke up, she still felt hurt, but it was a good thing she was alive and that there was still hope for her to live the kind of life she wanted to live with the boys. What she wasn’t certain of and couldn’t confirm was if Reece also had the same dream as hers since the lady already told her that Reece was also going to see this as a dream too.But then, health wise, she was feeling much better and more alive than yesterday.Although, I could still feel a little weakness, but I could still work and do some necessary minimal things. I slowly got down from the bed and did a little whyning with my waist until I felt my body was good to go.I walked into the bathroom, brushed my teeth and washed my face before I stepped back out of the bathroom and then put on the maid uniform ready for the little work I could do today. At least, it’s best to avoid anything that would make them complain or have to say nasty things to me. Maybe if I did anything that they expected me
28Alyssa’s PovThe Alphas gave me an irritated look and I felt so unhappy including how my dream so much contrasted from my current reality.“Alright, we leave it to you, baby.” Reynold accepted and the guards grabbed my arm, lifting me up back to my feet.“Come with me to the dungeon, guys.” She instructed the guards and they began to drag me while following her to the dungeon.“Please you don’t have to do this to me, Ingrid. You know very well that I’m not a threat, so stop doing this to me.” I pleaded, but she acted like no one was speaking to her until we got to the dungeon.In that particular space in the dungeon, there was a transparent drum filled with water and a few fishes in it and I looked at her sharply.“Don’t tell me…”“Yes, Alyssa. That’s exactly what is going to happen.” She said to me with a sharp look.She really planned this and was so certain of it working just the way she wanted as she had already brought up these barrels or whatever she was going to call it.“It
29Hours passed one after the other and my health was dropping. I was feeling weaker than usual and it fell like I was going to die, but I fell unconscious.~Unconscious state~Alyssa met herself in a garden where a woman was and she walked up to her.“Where am I? And what am I doing here?”“Alyssa, the heavens don’t want you to die yet, and that’s why you are here to gain another chance.”“A chance to live?”“Yes. But you’ve got to do just one task and you’ll be set free.”Her facial expression was a straight one and she didn’t look friendly, neither did she look harsh.“What task do you have for me?” Alyssa calmly asked, hoping not to offend the woman in any way.She was going to do anything to go back to the world as she also didn’t want to die yet.“There is just one task I have for you. I want you to go into a particular home.”“A home?” Alyssa repeated, trying to be certain that the woman was sure of what she was saying. “Do you mean I’ll be going back to my world?”“Technically
30Alyssa looked back, sideways as well, but didn’t see anyone close to that area.“Did she open the door or what exactly opened the door?” she asked herself, trying to be very cautious as she wouldn’t want anything to pop out and take her life for real.Although, she wasn’t sure she would be missed, but it would be so unfair that the only life she knew was nothing but a life of sadness and pain all through.As she moved to poke her head inside, the robot suddenly appeared at the door and Alyssa screamed and fell to her butt.“Oh! Did I take you by surprise? Are you hurt?” The robot asked in a tone of concern as she stared at Alyssa who was still managing to recover from the shock.The robot was made up of strong aluminium and iron and other materials that made it look really strong, then it had a red eyelid and a dark pupil. It was built in a figure 8 shape and looked like what a more modernised robot could look like.Alyssa got up on her feet and dusted her clothes, then cleared her
31Alyssa stepped out of the bathroom after flushing even though she didn’t use it, then she went out to the living room and sat before the food.“I would have served you in the dining room, but I want you to enjoy watching TV while eating this.” Safi said to her and Alyssa feigned a smile.“Oh, thanks a lot. That’s a perfect decision.” Alyssa commended her and Safi smiled.“You’re welcome.” She said and moved away.Alyssa looked at the door closely and took in a deep breath. She wasn’t so sure if the food was okay and free of poison.Somehow, she has not been feeling hungry ever since she came to this realm, and maybe it’s because it’s a different realm. But thank goodness that she could do without food, so she felt that the best would be to throw it away regardless of how tempting it looked.“How do you think I can throw this away without her finding out?” Alyssa asked her wolf.“The best and safest way would be to dig up the ground to an extent and pour the food in there. That’s go
32Alyssa immediately got up on her feet and hurried close to the door, then opened the door slowly. It was a scary thing to do, but she still needed to find out what was going on. But as she stepped out of the room, the gunshot stopped and everywhere seemed quiet.Alyssa carefully walked down the stairs, looking around so as not to be shot by someone when she least expected it. As she got to the bottom of the stairs, she wandered around the living room and didn’t see any sign of gunshots all over the place.“Safi?” Alyssa called out to her as she started walking towards the same hallway which had different rooms.“Why is that the first place you always wander of to, Alyssa?” Safi questioned all of a sudden from Alyssa’s back.Alyssa turned to look at her sharply. She wanted to respond to her, but she knew somehow, she still had to act like she was in control sometimes.“That isn’t the right question to ask, Safi. I heard gunshots and had to come looking for you, but to my surprise, t
33Alyssa’s Pov“Alyssa. Alyssa.” I heard a familiar voice call my name and I looked left and right, trying to understand where the voice was coming from.Suddenly, the room seemed much like a blur; like it was gradually disappearing until I saw myself on my bed back at the pack house and Anita was staring right at me with her eyes showing so much concern. That was when it really hit me that I was still here, but my mind was somewhere else. The only thing was that I felt much worse here. My whole body seemed like it was on fire as my temperature was high and disturbing.“What happened to me?” I managed to ask Anita who immediately sat by my side, looking a little relieved.“I think the punishment was too sudden given the fact that you had not fully recovered, so you went unconscious for a day. I was told to tend to you today, and I’m so happy that you’re awake.” She said with so much emotions bursting out of her.I really appreciated her, but somehow, I wanted more of that. Maybe some
34Alyssa’s PovIt was really painful hearing her say those words, and I didn’t know just when I was going to stop feeling hurt that came from her. Ingrid gave me one more hateful look and walked out of my room.“Goodness.” I said under my breath as I rubbed my face with my palm.Only the moon goddess understood how sick and tired I was of Ingrid acting this way to me. Still, I really have no idea of how to end this apart from dying. And I’m not ready to die.I shut my eyes close again, hoping that no one would come to disturb me or make me feel like my life was worthless.~Later in the evening, I woke up and felt a bit better than in the morning, and this time, I could sit up. Suddenly the door opened as if the person behind it had been waiting for me to wake, and to my surprise, it was Ryan.“Ryan?” I said under my breath while staring at him.“Guessing you just woke.” He uttered as he grabbed a chair and sat beside my bed.“Yes. Is there a problem?” I asked, out of curiosity, and
37Alyssa’s PovThinking that it was going to be difficult to sleep in the night again due to the fact that I had already slept long enough, that was just my thoughts. The dose which Anita gave me earlier was still active enough to knock me out after minutes of staring into blank space and thinking of nothing.When I woke the next day, I was much better and although the claw marks were still on my arm, but the pain was gone and no longer aching.“Well, its a new day and time for work.” I said to myself, not wanting to attract any more incidence that would cause pain.The triplets could get so angry that they could dash to my room and turn everywhere upside down just because I remained in there and didn’t step out to work. Since I’m not so sure of what could go on in their heads at any time, it was just best for me to everything that would not make them get so angry at me.I put on my maid clothes and walked out of my room, then headed towards the stairs which led to the living room. A
36Alyssa’s PovI didn’t know when I actually fell asleep due to the heavy silence between us, but when I woke first, it felt like a dream still seeing them lying beside me, wrapping their arms around me like a baby would do to his mother.I wished that I could capture this moment forever; a beautiful sight to behold. The best sight since I’ve been brought to live here. Patting them would have been easy, but at the same time, I wouldn’t want to wake them yet because I don’t know what reaction they would have now that it is morning.But all I know is that it seems so much that they were yearning for me and found it easy to be with me. Maybe it’s just about time for Ingrid to give them up and help me to be on the best of terms with them without them having to think about the scar on my face.I kept staring at them until they finally moved away from me slowly and stretched, then they opened their eyes and looked at me. I smiled at them, feeling so happy; like their mother and comforter.
35The brothers were all in the main study room, doing different things except for Ryan who only sat down, looking like he was deep in thoughts. Both Raymond and Reece looked at each other before they finally approached Ryan.“Hey bro.” Reece called to him as they got closer.But Ryan didn’t say a word and only kept staring like he was really deep in thoughts.“Ryan.” Raymond called out to him in a sharp tone, and this time, it interrupted Ryan’s trail of thoughts.He raised his head and looked at his brothers, then his eyelids blinked several times as he looked at them and realized that he had been lost in thoughts long enough for them to have noticed.“I’m sorry. Anything wrong?” He asked them, wondering if they had something important to share with him.“Maybe, and we’re about to find out.” Raymond uttered and dipped his hands into his pockets.“What’s going on with you, brother?” Reece asked, looking concerned.“I don’t understand. Why would you insinuate that something’s going on
