Savanna pulled Stephanie into a hug. "don't think about it too much Stephanie. You liked him. Since he was so nice to you, of course, you were going to think that he was interested in you. You didn't do anything wrong here. He's the one who's wrong for leading you on and giving you false hope. He should have made it clear from the start if he didn't want anything in the begining!" Savannah said. She could never understand why people played with other people's feelings like that. Reginald had done the same thing to her. He knew that he didn't feel anything for her and he married her. As if marrying her when he was in love with someone else was not enough, he tortured her for a long time. "I should have known....he has always been a flirt but because I wanted to be with him bo matter what, I actually convinced myself that he felt something for me.....I have already made up my mind. I want nothing to do with him anymore. I am so done with this. I am not going to keep pining over someon
Reginald's mistress woke up with a frown on her face. One would think that she would be happy now that Savannah was gone from the pack and she had Reginald all to herself but that was far from the truth. She was not happy because she hadn't gotten her goal yet. What she wanted was to get married to Reginald and become the Luna but he had never talked about getting married to her. Anytime she brought up the topic of marriage, he always looked for something to cover it up. It had happened too many times that she was starting to get worried. When Savannah first left, everyone treated her with respect because they were sure that she was going to become the next Luna. They all wanted to get on her good side. But after a few weeks passed and nothing had happened, all of them had began to talk behind her back. They all said that she was forever fit to be just a mistress and that he was never going to take her seriously. She really hated having so many people talk about her but they never
Savannah pulled on Stephanie's hand and pulled her into a corner. "What are you doing?" Stephanie asked her. "You know we are still working and if the chief maid comes and sees us here, we are going to get a good scolding from her!" Stephanie said. "Kristen is no longer the head of maids till her complications are over... We have to put up with Jess till everything blows over.""Of course I know this and... you don't know how much it hurts me that she lost her child. Kristen is now a shadow of herself but there's nothing we can do but just be there for her. Anyway, I am not going to take much of your time. I just wanted to ask you .....how do you feel about all of what I told you yesterday? You didn't say anything to me back and I can't help but be worried. Do you think that I am a horrible person for coming here with those intentions? You don't know how hard my life was before this. I really had no other choice or else those people were going to kill me. I swear to God they could h
She picked it up and she saw that it was from Abel. A smile spread out on her face as she read it. "Hello Savannah. I know that things ended between us on an awkward note that night but I just want to let you know that I did not regret anything that happened. It was one of the best things that had ever happened to me. You are my muse and I really can't wait to see you again. Do you think we can meet tonight? We need to talk and clear the air. Also, I want you to know that I never regretted kissing you. No matter what happens, I will never regret doing that..I think, that's the one good decision I have made in my life!" The note read. Savanna felt like her heart was going to beat out of her chest when she read it. She had never been given something so romantic in her life before. She knew that she was going to go meet him. But if she didn't want to make a fool of herself, she needed to get advice from someone who could give her good advice. .....Savanna went to Stephanie's room.
Reginald was standing in front of his father in the throne room. "So, I heard from one of the maids that your mistress is now pregnant?" The King asked Reginald..Reginald nodded his head. "Yes. She said that she's pregnant a few days ago" he agreed. "And you were going to tell me about this then? Don't tell me that you were planning on going behind my back to get married to her? Don't even think about it because I will never let you get married to her. It's not even a possibility! I meant it when I said that I don't want her as the Luna of the pack. I let you treat Savannah the way that you wanted because I thought you knew what you were doing but I don't think I can trust you to take over the pack if this how you are going to act!" The King said. "I never thought about marrying her. I haven't told you that she is pregnant because I wanted to take care of it myself. There's no way I'm going to make her the Luna even if she has a son for me. I'ts not possible. She's never becoming
Zhao, Gareth and the King were having dinner together. "Why did you want to have dinner with us Father? You even got Zhao to come here. Usually, he's on his own most of the time!" Gareth said as he glanced over at his brother. "I called you here because I wanted to talk to you about something important. Especially you Zhao. You are the eldest so I think it's time for you to take over your responsibilities to the pack. I am already old . I don't think I have much longer left to survive. My body is going to give up any moment from now. So you need to step up and become the Alpha of the pack!" His father said. Zhao immediately shook his head when he heard this. He did not want anything to do with being Alpha. He just wanted to live his life quietly. He did not think that was too much for him to handle.."Dad,.I can't do it. I don't want to become the Alpha. I don't have it in me to be the Alpha. I can't even talk to people. I want to avoid them every second. I really don't have what i
"Savannah, can you please open the door for me? I have something I have to talk to you about. I know that you are probably hurt by what you just saw but we can talk about it" Stephanie said. Savannah was crying inside her room. She did not want to see anyone and she did not want to talk to anyone. She just wanted to be left alone. "Please Savannah. I am really worried about you. You don't need to talk to me if you don't want to talk to me. I just want to be near you. I am worried that you are going to do something to yourself!" She said. Stephanie begged for a few more minutes before Savannah opened the door. "What do you want to hear? Is it about how stupid I am? You told me that he's indeed the prince but I didn't believe you. I believed every lie that he told me like an idiot. I really don't think that there's anyone who is as stupid as me in this world!" Savannah said. Stephanie pulled her into a hug. "You don't need to insult yourself. You did not do anything wrong besides f
His eyes were bright…almost too bright to truly make his smile seem real. Zhao was in a rage. His teeth were gritting so hard a muscle popped in his jaw. Then he threw his head back and began laughing. "I should have known… I should have known she was too good to be true. Everyone who had been with me ever stayed. I should have known it was fucking temporary."Hie eyes flashed red and he let out a howl of pain and slammed his fist into the wall behind him, welcoming the rush of pain that sluiced through him. She left him. Just like everyone had…but those other times… he never felt like this…. Like his heart was ripped out of his chest and then being passed through a skewer. It was horrible. Zhao wanted to break something… wanted to hurt himself but the thought of her betrayal reined him in. He had loved her and wanted a future with her. Then she did this to him.With that thought, Zhaeo vowed to never think about Lena…Savannah, whatever her name was ever again. In fact, he swore to hi
Stella slaps off the mosquitoes from her body, and groaned in irritation. "You have been here for weeks, you should be used to these insects by now." A male voice muttered. It was Reginald. She met him by a twist of fate, a few weeks ago, after she was chased out of the Pack. "I can never get used to them." She replied. "Well, you have no choice." Reginald said. He walked out with two cups of tea, and gave one to her. "Thanks." She said. Reginald sat beside her. "I never knew someone else would go through the same embarrassment Zhao put me through." He said. "Well, here I am." Stella said and they both laughed. "I never knew all Zhao did to me was because of Savannah. If I never met you, I wouldn't have found out about it." Reginald said. "We can't just let them go, right? We need to revenge." Stella suggested. Reginald took a sip of his tea and nodded. "True. We really need to revenge. We should give them a taste of their own medicine." He said. "Do you also know that S
Savannah slowly opened her eyes and everywhere was blurry.It's been a few days since everything happened. As soon as her sight became clear, she noticed someone staring at her.It was her son!"My baby." She muttered and pulled him into a hug, tears slowly trickling down her face."I am so happy to see you, baby. Are you happy too?" She asked, cupping her son's face with her hands."Yes, mum." He replied and she hugged him again."Why are you crying mum?" Her son asks as soon as they break the hug."I'm not crying." She responded and her son helped her wipe her tears."Has anyone been wicked to you?" She asked him."No, mum." He replied.For some reason, Savannah was shocked."No one hurt you or did bad things to you?" She asked again."No, mum." Her son said again.Savannah pulled her son to her and she thought silently."What is going on? Zhao lets Stella do whatever she wants..how come no one hurt my son or is he lying to me? He can't be lying to me." She thought, she wanted to a
Zhao stared at Stephanie weakly."But why? Why didn't you tell me? Why did you keep this away from me?" He asked.Stephanie sniffed and looked away."Zhao, please....""Why?" Zhao asked again."Because I didn't want to lose you. I love you, Zhao! I do, and I can't afford to lose you." Stephanie said with teary eyes.Zhao sank into the chair and bent his head, trying to hold back tears. He felt broken.Stephanie turned away and let the tears out, she never wanted him to find out this way.Just then, the door was pushed open and the doctor walked in.Stephanie and Zhao turned to him with looks of expectancy."Doctor?" Zhao said, impatiently."Um, well, ma'am, your condition is quite serious.." The doctor announced."Okay? But she is not in a danger zone, right?" Zhao asked."Relax, Zhao," Stephanie said."I'm afraid you might not survive it." The doctor added."Why? I mean isn't there something you can do about it? You are a doctor, there must be something you can do about it, right?" Z
Savannah lay on the floor bleeding badly. She had tried to explain that she did not slap Stella and that Stella was the one hit herself just to frame her but no one had believed her. Of course no one was going to believe her. She would not have believed it either. She should have known that it would not be easy to deal with someone like Stella. The most painful part for her was that Zhao add ordered for her to be beaten up by the guards just to get back at her. The admade shot to hit a badly and she was now bleeding all over her body and her entire body hurt. Savannah wanted to cry but she did not even have tears to shed. She could not help but think about her life with Reginald. When she was with him she had suffered beatings like this almost everyday. When she finally was able to get away from his control she thought that she would never have to deal with anyone treating her like a piece of garbage and beating her whenever they felt like it. But it seemed like she was wrong
Stella had a wicked smile on her face as she looked at Savannah. It was clear that she was looking down on Savannah decided to ignore her looks because she wasn't in the mood for any drama. From the way Stella was looking at her she was sure that she knew about what had happened between her and Zhao. She just wanted to be left alone and to be able to see her son whenever she wanted. Those were the only things that she asked for. "It must be nice for you to go back to being a maid after everything right. You must have felt as if you were on top of the world when Zhao took an interest in you. But unfortunately you were too stupid to keep him to yourself. You really had the guts to walk away from him and to live him missing you for so many years. What were you thinking when you decided to leave him? I really want to know what was going on in your head at that time!" Stella said. Savanna rolled her eyes. She did not want to engage Savannah so she just continued doing what she was doin
Savannah was cleaning up the hallway as she thought about what Zhao had told her. He had shown off Stella to her and he had brought about how Stella was going to be a better mother to her Although she knew that she was going to be hurt she didn't really mind that he was going to get married to someone else and make someone else his Luna. Savanna was the one who left Zhao in the first place and she knew that she could not demand for him to keep waiting for her. It was only right that he would move on with his life. But all that she wanted was to be able to see her son from time to time. She did not even mind if she had to work as a maid in the palace forever as long as she got to see her son. But no matter how many times she begged Zhao and told him that she was sorry for how things went down between them, he just refused to let her see her son! She had no idea what Stella really was like and she did not know if Stella was going to treat her son well if she became her stepmother.
Zhao was speechless when he heard this. He had no idea that she thought this way. In fact, he really felt that she had left just because she wanted to hurt him. Hearing her say this changed a lot of way he felt about her inside. He almost forgave her. But then, he was reminded of the plan that he went through because of her. He shook his head immediately. He could not forgive her just because she said something nice. It did not take away all of the pain that she put him through. And he still wanted her revenge. He wanted to get revenge and she was going to make sure of that by all means possible. "Don't think that I will just let you go after what you did Savannah. I am not done with you yet and I am going to make sure that I punish you! Do you know what you put me through all these years? You were alive and well and you never even thought to let me know about it. And as if it was not enough, you took my son away from me and hide him for many years!" Zhao accused her. Savannah wen
"Oh come on Zhao. Just tell me what happened between you both. Why do you seem to hate her so much? I mean.....it's just odd. I don't think that I have ever seen you hate anyone the way that you hate her!" Stella said. She just thought that there was something weird in the way that he treated Savannah. He definitely did hate her, that was for sure. But there was something else that she could not understand. The way he looked at her....it was as if he did hate her, but they were a lot of other feelings in there that he was trying to hide. Zhao did not want to talk about Savannah. She always seemed to be able to mess with his head no matter what. He thought that he was over her for sure and that she would not have any more effects on him but it just turned out that he was wrong. She still had a lot of effects on him and it just felt like she was a drug that he could not quit. He knew that it was bad for him, but he kept going back again and again. He felt pathetic. "I don't want to
The palace corridors echoed with the hurried footsteps of Gareth and Stephanie, their expressions a mixture of concern and bewilderment. The flickering torches cast dancing shadows on the walls as they approached the quarters of the palace maids. The two had come seeking information about an unsettling rumor circulating within the palace walls.Gareth,, pushed open the door to the maids' shared living space. The room was filled with the soft murmur of gossip and laughter, momentarily silenced by the unexpected presence of their King's brother and his wife.."Good evening, ladies," Gareth greeted, attempting to maintain a calm demeanor. "We were wondering if any of you had heard anything unusual lately. Something about Zhao and a woman he brought into the palace."A hushed tension gripped the room as the maids exchanged furtive glances. Finally, a middle-aged maid with a kind face stepped forward, her eyes darting between Gareth and Stephanie. "Oh, you must be talking about Zhao's secr
