Chapter Nine

Maelis

The gate of the Royal castle was so big that a family of elephants could pass through it all at once. I had never seen a gate so big in my entire life, and I had thought that the first time I would enter this royal castle would be to seek employment as the royal physician. But here I was, being bundled in to work as a slave.

Tears kept rolling down my face, no matter how hard I tried to hold them back. My heart felt like it was ripping apart. Never in my life had I imagined that things would get so bad that I would end up as a slave. I always thought that if I could get admitted into the institution, I would do whatever it took to graduate as a qualified physician and prove everyone wrong, especially my stepmother.

I was ecstatic when I received the admission. I thought my dreams were finally going to become a reality, that my far-fetched dreams were finally within reach. But now? My dreams were farther away than I could have ever imagined. I might never become a p

    Chapter TenUlricBeing at home is supposed to make up for the long day at school, but not in my case. It rather determined how bad the stay at home would be. It determined the amount of trouble I would have to put up with, as it was always double whatever happened at school.Sometimes I get tired and too overwhelmed, and I just want to quit everything, maybe go away with my mom and find a good place for us to live and start a new life. But my mom’s hopes were on me, and she wouldn’t be happy to see that I had given up.My mom was the only reason I was in this fight to begin with. Even though I had topped my brothers in every Royal class and training we’ve done, I never had it in mind to go head-to-head with them for the throne. But seeing how my mom was being treated and how she had been subjected to so much abuse and shame, I just couldn’t let her live like that forever.It wouldn’t even end with me. If I didn’t do anything to change the situation for my mom and me, then every singl

The scar on the side of my face and neck would expose me.“Keep walking!” One of the guards leading us to our rooms yelled out.I looked up, and that was when I realized that the other maids had gone far beyond me. I picked up my legs and rushed to join them, finding a way to move myself in between them just so I wouldn’t be recognized.“Stop and greet the princes.” Another guard ordered, and we

    Chapter TwelveUlricStanding there and waiting for my father, the Alpha King, to come in felt like forever. I already knew what my fate was, but I wanted to strongly believe that he would make the right judgment this time.He was always quick to make judgments and would even listen to my brothers over me. I was like the child he never wanted, but it was still confusing why he was acting that way. Until we were thirteen, my father was all over my brothers and me, treating us equally, without any preferential treatment for anyone.Though the other people around us treated me just the same way I was being treated now, my father and brothers were different. I always thought if I had their support and love, I wouldn’t care about how the palace maids or their mothers treated me. All of a sudden, the people from whom I gained my strength changed towards me. They were the shoulder I could lean on when I had any problems or was maltreated by any of their mothers or palace maids, but they move

    Chapter ThirteenMaelisI watched as the three brothers walked out of the throne room, leaving us with the alpha king.What I had just witnessed was a display of power and wisdom. I initially thought the alpha king was being biased when Prince Ulric was dragged away, but I never expected him to do the same with Prince Valko. Even Prince Valko was as surprised as the rest of us.When they were both taken away, I wondered what the alpha king was going to do next. How did he intend to uncover the truth if he wasn’t going to hear from both sides? Were they being interrogated wherever they were taken?I was still pondering when the alpha king ordered Kael to step forward and explain what happened because he was the only witness. The alpha king emphasized the importance of Kael telling the truth and not being biased.Kael stood silent for a few minutes, likely debating whether to tell the truth or align with someone. From what I had observed since meeting them, if he were to side with anyon

    Chapter FourteenMaelisJuggling school and working as a palace maid was way harder than I expected. I thought it would be a piece of cake, but it turned out to be like a broken part of a rock: hard and tiring.We were woken up by the loud blaring of the morning sound over the speakers installed in every room. We rushed up to go to work, and people who couldn’t get up with that sound were disciplined by the guards. I knew it: nothing would go unpunished in this castle, and I had to be extra careful.We were put into groups for work that morning. Some were sent to the kitchen, some to clean the royal halls, including the dining room, and others to the royal farm. I was lucky to be sent to the kitchen where we didn’t do much work, but none of us were allowed to leave once we stepped in. The chief cook said we might go out and come back with germs that could harm the royal family. If only he knew what we used to do in the kitchen back at home.Due to the drastic measures, restrictions, a

I felt a pang of pain when I saw the hurt in her eyes and the disappointment when no one stood up for her.I wished there was something I could do, but I was helpless. I couldn’t do anything to ruin what I had been planning for years. I almost made a big mistake the day before by hitting Valko, but my father was in the right mood to make the right judgment. If it had been one of his bad days, he would have made me pay for hitting Valko and assumed that he was right.It was a narrow escape for me, and I didn’t want to do anything to ruin all I had been working on for years. I had to comport myself and always be on the alpha’s good side. I had to do that for myself and for my mom, who had so much trust in me.There was the engagement with Lucia and the desperation I saw on my mom’s face to make sure the tie was sealed.

    Chapter SixteenUlricIt had only been a day since I saw her, yet it felt like I had known her for years. It was as if the mate bond and attraction towards her had been there all along, only now making itself known. Was this what the mate bond felt like, or was it something else? Everything left me confused. I wasn’t sure how to define what I was feeling.I had experienced the mate bond before. I felt it the first time I met Maelis at the pageant, and it didn’t feel pre-existing; it felt like finding a missing piece of myself, one I had longed for. But now, the feeling towards this new girl was just the same as that for Maelis. It felt like I had been waiting for her for years, as if I was meeting Maelis again.These thoughts became too much for me. I really couldn’t figure out what exactly I was supposed to do. The situation I was in was more difficult than expected. I had to decide whether to be with Lucia or keep waiting for Maelis. And then there was the new girl again. I had to m

It wasn’t as easy as I thought, but I did all I could to make that happen, thanks to the head maid who still saw me as someone unworthy to serve the royal family. I would have been seen by them if I had been chosen to serve them.It was the weekend, and the head maid had already informed us that the weekend always started with the farm, then serving the royal family, and then doing the washing. Every single task was demanding, but like Alisha said, if we could impress the head maid and the royals, we could be given a higher position, and there was nothing I wanted more than the position of a royal physician. I had to do everything I could to make that happen, even if it meant doing things I didn’t want to do and going out of my way to do them. I had to get that position and show my father that I had a future. I wouldn’t be the slave they said I would be for my entire life.“The head mai

I couldn’t bring myself to do it, even after everything he had done. Why? Why can’t I hate him? I couldn’t have the good things go my way, and even the bad ones seemed to be working against me.He hurt me, he betrayed me, he broke the trust I had in him—what more could I do but hate him? But my heart was working against me. I found myself being drawn to him even when I wanted to pull away.I watched as he dragged his legs out of the room, and a low gasp escaped my lips. I was completely confused, unsure of what I wanted or what to do. I knew I would have to make a decision sooner or later, but how could I do that when I didn’t even know what I wanted? When I was still so confused? He did all of that to me, he hurt me more than I coul

She let him embarrass me like that, and she even added to it.All I was trying to do was make up for my mistake, to show her that I care about her, and I didn’t mean any of the things I said. Why can’t she see that? Why can’t she see my sincerity? I’ve tried to show her how much I’m willing to do to make things right, but she doesn’t even notice.Will she ever give me the chance to show her how much she means to me? Will she ever let me back into her life? I know I messed up, and I’m willing to right my wrongs, but she isn’t giving me a chance, and it’s driving me crazy.

    Chapter Sixty-fourMaelisI was helpless and hopeless. This was the exact thing I had been trying to avoid. I thought this little secret of mine would remain hidden after Ulric made Lucia promise she wouldn’t tell anyone about seeing me in the castle, but I was wrong, totally wrong. Nothing goes as I want them to do, I had forgotten that.I dragged my legs away, unsure of where exactly I was heading to. Going to the class would only set me up for more drags and taunts from the other students, and I couldn’t take it. The worst part would be Ulric standing up for me, and acting like the hero in my pathetic story when he was also one of my tormentors.How could I have been so stupid? How could I have been so vulnerable and soft to give him the chance to get to me so easily. All of these could have been avoided if I hadn’t been attracted to him and given him the chance to have his way with me.He used me! He fucking used me!The thought of that made his words ring in my head again, and I

The most annoying part is she’s nothing but a mere slave, my personal slave, and she had the audacity to challenge me? The nerve of her!No one dares to do that!I was the prince, the future alpha king of this great pack, and I wouldn’t tolerate any form of disrespect, especially not from someone as insignificant as her. Even the pack ministers and council doesn’t dare to look me in the eyes to talk back at me! How dare her!The way she looked at me, so bold, so defiant—it made my blood boil, my skin thicken with fury. I wanted to tear that defiance out of her, to break her completely, to show her just how insignificant she truly was. Yes, I knew I made a mistake, I mistook her for someone else, and almost forced myself on her, but no one is above mistakes, or is she? She acted like she has never made any mistake in her life, I m

She said that to me.I wished I could turn back the hands of the clock and addressed the issue I had in some other way, other than just letting her off just like that. I could have handled Ella in another way, I could have tell her off by doing something else, but I jumped too quick into conclusion, and let her go.

I wanted us to relive all those moments again, I had no single regret because they were the best moments of my life. Until mother’s head court-lady walked in and met us in that compromising state.Apparently, she had been knocking for minutes, and I was way too lost in my thoughts that I didn’t hear her knock.

But I still couldn’t see that remorse in his eyes, he doesn’t seem like he feels wrong for doing that to me, so I couldn’t really believe the words he said.“I’m waiting, you are wasting my time.” He grumbled, peering at me as though there was something on my face. “Are you in?”I shook my head. “Not until I know what the deal is.” How does he expect me to accept to a deal without knowing what it was?Even though I was a maid, it didn’t mean I was dumb and didn’t know my right.

I just laid there on the bed, staring at the ceiling as different though raced through my banging head.I couldn’t remember much of everything that happened last night, but I had a faint memory of some things, and I began to put the scattered pieces of the things I remembered together.I remembered following prince Kael to his room and how he boasted after making me his person slave, and then sending me to get a package for him, I remember all of that very well, I knew all that happened.Then, going back to his room and finding him sniffing a whit
