“Oh my God, were you trying to get us killed?” Amber had her hands to her chest and she was gasping in shock at their near-death experience. If Angela had not been quick to drag her out of the way, the horse would have trampled them and if the rider was not good enough at controlling his horse, he and the horse would be on the ground in splatters and dead by now.The man on the horse chuckled in amusement before he threw himself off the horse. He had a red rose in his hand. He gave a mocking bow as he stretched the rose flower to Angela, “For you, my lady” Angela, who was angry because of what the man did, scaring them and acting like it was not a big deal by laughing it off and giving her a rose flower, refused to accept it.“I don't need your flower, thank you. You should be apologizing to us” Angela snapped.From the man's attire and the horse he was riding, coupled with his wolf's scent, Angela knew that he was rich, he was an alpha, but she did not care. She did not know where t
Yes, Amber's mother was slowly recovering and could even sit up now. Amber and Angela lost track of time that Angela's guard had to come after them. He had changed out of his guard uniform and was now putting on clothes reserved for peasants and omegas, he blended in well. He also did away with his sword but Angela knew that he must have daggers and little knives hidden away somewhere in his body. When he knocked, Amber was the one that went to open the door for him and welcomed him inside. "Hey, what are you doing here? I thought I asked you to wait for us outside?" Angela asked and a snicker left her mouth as she eyed his clothes with a."Of course you did but have you been outside yet?" The guard snapped at her.Angela sneered at his disrespectful tone, " what's outside?""Maybe you should see for yourself. It's late already and we have to return back to the palace"Angela raised her brow at him before walking past him to the door. She sighed in understanding when she saw that it
No one came for her. Angela did not know for how long she sat in the dark room and cried until she had no more tears left in her eyes. She had to drag herself up from the bed when she felt like she was about to die of hunger to find her way to the room’s door. She had a hard time locating it; she kicked her foot against a hard wooden table nearly tumbling down on her face in the process.This place reminded her of when she was locked in the dungeon because of Paul and Anna. The same cold chill and feeling of fear because she did not know if anyone would come to her rescue or what was going to happen to her. She just prayed that history won't repeat itself and she won't die a second time because she would never want to come back again no matter what. Revenge be damned. When she finally located the door, she knocked hard against it, “Hello, anyone out there?” she kept quiet, silently uttering a prayer that someone would hear her and respond but all she got was silence. She knocked agai
Angela could not sit still after the man left, she stood by the door hoping to hear him coming back. When after a few minutes which felt like an eternity to her, she did not hear the man coming back, she became anxious and begs to pace to and fro. The man might have said that he would get her food and light but how sure was she that he would bring it?This time around, she did not hear the man coming back. Her mind must have been occupied with different thoughts. She almost let out a scream when the door was suddenly thrown open and light filled the room, almost blinding her. “Here is your food and light”She did not even have the opportunity to thank the man, as soon as she collected the tray of food and lamp from him, he slammed the door shut, causing her to jump and nearly burn herself.Angela turned away from the door and raised the lamp so that she could see the room she was in. It was almost the same as her room in Lothar's palace. It was a room fit for a queen but with no wind
What did he mean when he said ‘you will be the lady of this place and will live here’?Oh yes, she really did become the lady of the place because as soon as he was done saying it, over forty young girls and ten older women filtered into the room in an orderly manner and bowed to her in greetings before lifting their head to stare at her as if waiting for her orders. She turned to look at the man whose name she did not yet know in confusion, “Who are they?" She asked. “They are the women that will serve you during your time here" he answered her with a nonchalant expression.The only thing she latched onto was the fact that he said ‘during your time here’ “How long do you think I will remain here for?" Her expression betrayed her anxiousness as she held her breath waiting for his answer which delayed in coming.“Until the alpha wants you to come out. Now, address your ladies in waiting” he walked away after that.Angela kept her eyes on his broad back as he walked out of the place
“I want to learn how to fight," Angela said when she was finally able to corner the guard whose name she now knew to be Camelot. She held his cold gaze as he looked at her from head to toe but she couldn't fathom the emotion in his eyes. He turned to move away and she was quick to understand that he was not taking what she just said seriously. Angela rushed to stand in front of him to block his path; she stretched out her hands when he tried to sidestep her, and because the corridor where she cornered him was not spacious, she was able to stop him from leaving.“I'm really serious. I want to learn how to fight." She held his gaze just to show how serious she truly was. Seeing that he was not trying to walk around her to leave but now had a contemplative look in his eyes, she dropped her outstretched hands. Camelot took a step back from her, "Why do you want to leave how to fight all of a sudden?” He wanted to know because what woman in her right senses would want to learn how to fi
In just a few weeks of her training with Camelot, Angela could feel that she was getting stronger and it made her glad. She could now hold her own for a few minutes. Though she had not been able to land any blows on Camelot during their practice, she knew that it was only a matter of time. Camelot was a big man and he was fast but she was faster and more nimble because she was smaller and it has always been her strength back when she was Marylee.Camelot was standing over her like her lord as he glared at her on the floor with that dark scowl of his on his face, “Aren't you getting up? We just started and you are giving up already?" "Please” Angela groaned as she rolled on to her back. She knew when to give up and accept defeat and the time is now. “You are too brutal"“The same complaint over and over again. No one is stopping you from giving up and putting an end to your training".“Never" Angela snapped she pushed herself into a sitting position to glare back at him, “No way am I
What did she want? Who sent her? Questions, but who would answer them? Since there was nowhere for her to run into and it was already too late as the woman had found her already, Angela decided to put on a false bravado and face the woman head on.Angela nearly groaned and dropped to the ground in surrender when another shadow appeared behind her and she realized that the woman was not alone. She has been so focused on the masked women she did not hear or notice the other person…. No, it was more than one person because other shadows appeared. They were coming from every angle and now, she was in the middle.“Who are you people?" Angela finally asked. She offered a little thanks to the moon goddess when her voice came out firm and did not give away her fear.“Hmm, a brave one. I see"It was the masked woman that replied. It felt like she was praising Angela for her boldness but her tone was insulting and Angela could see the woman's blue eyes looking at her from head to toe.Blue eye
Home, that's what the woman had called this place and it immediately felt like home to Angela when she stepped out a week later with the woman. The woman refused to allow her to step out of the room until she and her wolf were fully healed and the bandage was removed from her head. Angela stood in the middle of the street the woman led her to with her mouth dropped open in shock at the spectacle before her. Everyone in this place looked like they were straight out of a spirit realm; they all in one way or the other looked like the woman. White, gold, copper, blonde, and silver hair with different shades of bright eyes. “Does everyone in this place look like this?” Angela could not help but voice out this question in awe.The woman whose name Angela now knew to be Brunhilda slowly turned her face to look at Angela with a tranquil smile, “Everyone looks like we do.”At Brunhilda’s words, Angela turned to face her, “Like we do? How?”The smile with Brunhilda's face widened, “Look aroun
Angela expected to wake up in so many places —- the cold floor of a dungeon, tied up to a chair in a dark building and so on — but where she woke up was in a beautiful room and on a bed. How? Angela was lying on her back and she could feel a dull ache at the back of her head; her head was wrapped up because of the blow she took. She did not know how long she's been out or whose room she was in now.Whether she was saved from that woman and the men that came for her by Lothar's men or if the woman succeeded in taking her away.Only thing she knew was that she was alive and still in one piece and even if her head felt like it weighed a ton, it was another day to be grateful that she was still in the land of the living. She tried to sit up on the bed, it was supposed to be a chore and Angela was very ready to struggle but soft and warm hands reached out to help her up. She had not noticed that she was not alone in the room; there's a woman sitting on a chair beside the bed. The person
