I look at Rosemary incredulously. What does she mean by me being in trouble? A million thoughts race through my mind - am I in danger? Am I about to be punished? Nothing could have prepared me for the news she was about to reveal, and yet I found that my curiosity outweighed my fear."What's going on, Rosemary? What are you talking about?" I ask.Rosemary's voice dropped to a solemn whisper as she spoke of the incident. "Alpha Xavier's mother left him a lot of pieces of jewelry after she passed away. Some of them went back hundreds of years, belonging to his great-grandmother," Rosemary says grimly.I look at her with confusion. Why is she telling me all this?"One of the jewels got stolen this morning. A necklace with rare emerald pendant," Rosemary continues."That's awful!" I exclaim, still not understanding what any of this has to do with me.Rosemary's eyes flashed with rage as she spat the words, "Yes, it's awful indeed. That thief is going to rue the day they crossed him. He se
I tremble in silence as Alpha Xavier's piercing gaze drills into me. The air feels heavy with anticipation, and soon I am the only one left in this giant room with the Alpha. My mind is paralyzed with fear, and my heart threatens to burst from my chest in a panicked frenzy.Why did he want to speak to me alone? Why couldn't he decide on my punishment in front of everyone else?"Sylvia," his thunderous voice shook me to my core.Oh, goddess...he sounds angry!"Y...yes, Alpha?" I ask, my voice trembling.He stalks towards me, every footstep sending vibrations through the air as he advances with a calculated slowness. His eyes are burning holes in my soul, and I can feel the heat of his gaze even before he reaches me."Do you realize how serious the accusation against you is?" he growls."I do," I whisper."Then do you know what awaits a thief like you in my court?" His eyes narrow, and his voice drops low. "Punishments that will make you wish for death many times over.""I didn't steal t
The next day, I go back to work like normal.I bring breakfast to Alpha Xavier's room early in the morning. After he leaves for the hunt, I diligently clean up the room, ensuring everything is in order.Alpha Xavier officially declared my innocence, so no one has said anything to me since then. People were more relaxed, and they treated me the same way as they did before the accusations.It feels like a heavy burden has been lifted, and I can concentrate on my work without feeling constantly distrusted.Well...everyone is treating me like normal except for Amelia and Molina, of course. But this time, I can't blame them for hating me because the side effect of the portion is starting to show. And they are starting to figure out the fact that I gave them the potions to ruin their week.I didn't have to wait long because later in the afternoon, Molina burst into the kitchen and glared at me. "You!" she screams, pointing at me.Molina's sudden outburst surprised me, and it made the kitch
I hesitate outside his bedroom, feeling nervous and unsure. It had been a long time since he had asked for me since he wasn't home. But now that he was back from hunting, he needed my service again.A voice, sandpaper-rough and hoarse, comes from inside the house. "Come in," he growls as if he has sensed my presence outside the door.I hurry inside. "Alpha Xavier? You asked for me?" "Come closer," he commands, his voice low and steady. "I need to show you something."Without hesitation, I step forward, our eyes locked in a silent exchange. "What can I do for you, Alpha?" I ask timidly.He doesn't answer but instead reaches out and touches my forehead. Suddenly, I feel a jolt of electricity shoot through my body, and everything around me starts to blur and fade away.When the world comes back into focus, I find myself standing in a vast forest filled with glittering trees and sparkling streams. The air is alive with magic, and I can feel its power coursing through my veins."Ancient
I look at myself in the mirror, admiring my reflection. The soft folds of my new dress that falls just above my knees drape around me like a cloud. The pink color brings out the darkness of my hair and eyes.Molina and Amelia will lose their shit when they see me wearing this!Alpha Xavier's eyes burn into me like fire as I walk out of the bathroom, and I find it hard to look away."Wow," he grunts, his face turning red. He clears his throat and speaks again. "I mean, the dress fits quite nicely."Did I just see Alpha Xavier blush?I can't help but grin at the sight of the normally stoic and composed Alpha Xavier looking flustered. It's not often that I get to see this side of him, so I must relish the moment."Thank you," I reply, my voice barely above a whisper. "I'm glad you like it." I can feel the heat radiating off his body, and I know that he's just as affected by me as I am by him.He nods, but his gaze lingers on me a moment longer than necessary. I feel my cheeks heat up at
Alpha Xavier At last, I had her in my arms. The fragile bird could not escape me anymore as she was now living in the room next to mine. The moment our eyes met, my whole world fell apart, and I felt an intense and burning love for her. Every breath I take now carries her scent, everything I see reminds me of her, and every sound I hear brings back memories of her voice. She has become my addiction, an obsession that completely consumes me, and I can't get enough of her. I need her to be near me at all times. So I came up with this genius idea to make her my personal maid. Because, for whatever reason, she can't stand to be near me? I am still confused as to why she avoids me like a plague. Have I done something wrong? I thought I always treated her fairly. Gah! This is going to drive me insane! No, it doesn't matter why she doesn't like me right now. As long as she respects my authority, she wouldn't dare defy me, so that means I get to keep her close. And maybe, eventually, I
Oh gosh, what did I just do? Why did I give the Alpha full-on permission to kiss me whenever he wanted? I feel so stupid now, but at the time, the words poured out of me before I could stop them. So now, Alpha Xavier is looking at me, grinning ear to ear as if he had just won the lottery. Does kissing me makes him happy this much? "Ahem...Alpha Xavier?" I hesitate. "What is it, Sylvia?" he says in a low and husky voice. I sink my teeth into my bottom lip. He is sitting so close to me that I can feel his body heat radiating off him. It is making my heart race, and I don't like it. "You can go back to your room now." His face falls. "Go back to my room?" he repeats. "Yes. It is quite late, so why don't you go back to sleep?" I say. Alpha furrows his brows as if he is thinking about something. "I think I should stay here." I let out a small gasp. "What? Why?" "You still look a bit shaken up from the nightmare, so I think I should keep you company," he declares. I shake my head
A...Alpha Xavier?" I squeak as he takes my hand in his. He gazes into my eyes with a mischievous twinkle, then suddenly, he busts out laughing. "Jeez...Sylvia. I am only joking. Do you really think I would do something like that to you?""I can't tell with you," I pout.He grazes his hand over my hair. "Unless you are secretly interested in something more...kinky." His smirk is almost devilish as he points to the array of ropes and chains. "Then I'm more than happy to show you the ropes, literally speaking."I stifle a giggle. But then force myself to be serious. "Alpha Xavier! That's highly inappropriate behavior!" I gasp, spinning around to dash away in mock horror, but all the while, my heart is racing and I have a smile on my face.What did he mean when he said he would be happy to show me!? Is he just a pervert?I swivel my head around, a silly smile on my face, as I attempt to spot if the Alpha is following me. Of course, he isn't, silly me! I take off running and dash into my
