Hidden behind a thick cluster of rose bushes. The conspirators, unaware of our presence, had grown suspicious. They had heard something—a small, innocent sneeze that had escaped Seraphina's lips. Now, their relentless search threatened to expose us.We exchanged worried glances, fear dancing in our eyes. With every step they took, their voices grew louder, their intent palpable. The stranger's voice carried a chilling determination as he barked orders, demanding a thorough investigation of the area."Someone is here," he hissed. "Find them, or our plan is jeopardized."Our hearts pounded in our chests as we silently moved from one hiding spot to another. The garden, once a sanctuary, had become a labyrinth of danger. We darted behind a row of tall hedges, our bodies pressed flat against the foliage. I could hear my own heartbeat, the adrenaline pumping through my veins.The men's footsteps echoed, growing closer. We held our breath, praying that the rustling of leaves beneath their fe
That's it. The cat is out of the bag. the beans were spilled.All this time I had not fixed it. I didn't even stop to think about it because I knew that I had all the time in the world. between was going to do everything in her power to make sure that this truth would remain nothing but a secret. yet while hiding behind the bushes the truth has been announced for seraphina to hear. the man that she will be spending the rest of her life with was mated to a servant.This time she hears with the men as they continue to talk.“No one knows,’’ The voice dragged on, standing in the shadows. “No one knows that the servant is the rightful mate to Alpha Weston Pierce.’’Silence accosted the vicinity, we knelt there, staring into the mere darkness. Seraphina, seemingly shocked, stared back at me.“Di..Did y…” Her words trailed into incomplete sentences. Her face flashed with horror as her eyes met mine. My eyes, something I've never been able to lie with.We were friends, I should have told he
“Then it’s settled. We bring down the Pierce dynasty in a week. And the key to all this is a simple servant girl. Alondra dies, And the Alpha dies with her.’’The words of the man had created such an uproar inside me. Died? They wanted me dead?“Come on!’’ Seraphina whispered as she got up from the bush.“NO!’’ I rebuked as I tried to hold her down. “They’re gonna catch you hun.’’“Look again Alondra, they’re gone.’’ She exclaimed, causing me to look back into the garden. And it was true, no one was there. It was as if they had just disappeared.“Where did they go?” I asked.“They left a few minutes ago. What’s wrong with you, did you zone out or something?’’ She asked with irritation. My fingers left her hands as I watched her tiptoe out. I remained there, staring into empty space as their words echoed in my mind.It couldn’t be.“Seraphina, wait!’’ I exclaimed as I got to my feet and ran after her. “We have to be careful about this.’’I rushed towards the garden exit where I could s
My energy to fight. It made me hollow and without purpose. How? How was that possible?“There was a man. They want to kill the Alpha. Please, you have to listen to me. I have to help him.’’ I shouted and begged, kicking my feet as they dragged me across the floors.“Please let me talk to Weston. He’ll believe me, he’ll hear me.” I begged. “They want to kill the Alpha. Why aren’t you listening to me?’’My words kept falling on deaf ears, and my struggles against them made it feel like I was not putting in much of an effort. It made me hopeless and frustrated.I was led into the throne room, a dark and rather quiet place where only serious stuff happened.All my life, I had only come into this room on two occasions. For one, when I was cleaning. Which would often happen once a week depending on who Mistress Mary put on the shift. And the other times, when we were kids, where Weston would bring I and Trish here, then pretend to be Alpha, seating on the throne and ruling over the subjects
I was dragged into the dark cells that were formerly known as the pack dungeons. There wasn’t really a big change or difference. Alpha Mark, a few years ago, just demanded that the names of the dungeons be changed to cells because dungeons were mainly for beasts. I did not see what the big deal was, but I was not going to argue about it either.“Please believe me, the Alpha is in danger.’’ I tried to plead with the guards who were bringing me here.“Just shut up, even the Alpha caught on with your bullshit.” He answered as he locked the cell door, leaving me to sleep on the cold floor that was slightly covered with hay. There was an unpleasant smell that remained, making it feel like this was not the kind of place where a person was supposed to be.“You’ll get used to it.’’ the voice came from the next cell.“What?’’“Soon enough you’ll stop begging and pleading, and get used to the fact that you are here to stay. This is your new home, Alondra.’’“How do you know my name?’’ I asked i
“I said I don't care. get out of here. go wherever you want to go. I am tired. I've always been afraid of you. I am tired of letting you step over me. you are a horrible person but ratio. you didn't come here because you were worried about sarafina. you came because of your giult. you came here to convince yourself that I was a bad guy from the beginning. You know it's not true but you'd rather believe it then live with the Guilt of all that you've done to me. I don't care anymore Patricia . I don't care about your status and I certainly don't care about you are orders.’’“Who do you think you are talking to me like that?’’ she shouted as she started shaking the metal bars. ‘ you don't know what I'll do to you for this disrespect.’’“And what are you going to do Patricia? The worst thing has already happened to me. I have lost the support of the Alpha. I have been accused of a serious crime and no one believes me. I no longer consider myself a pack citizen. It is not my duty to follow
“Don't b******* me.’’ I cut out. “ You are not a woman with a foul mouth. and you certainly should not be rude to the only person who trust you here.’’ she answers with irritation in her voice. I remain confused. I know nothing about her. I haven't even seen her face. her voice is not familiar to me.“And why would you trust me? you don't know me.’’“But I know you're kind. I know your fate and your future. I was once in your shoes.’’ she answers yet in another set of parables that makes me roll my eyes and bury my head in my hands. frustration grows inside me as I clench and I'll clench my fist and decide to simply just let it be.“You are not the first person whose politics has messed up. you are not the first innocent soul to be caught in the grasp of a cruel and fierce battle.”“ Christ, you know nothing about what you're talking about. you have not the slightest idea why I'm here. why am I even listening to you?’’ I Began to rock my mind and the way they could get out of here. W
A woman? Alpha Mark’s Beta is a woman? why could I not have investigated this before? why did I have to sleep on that information? why did they wait all the time for things to blow out of proportion. I have been stupid. I am a fool. I have made no efforts in making this better. I have only made everything worse. This is all my fault. the Queen had just left a few minutes ago. Yet I heard you made their frozen. standing on the spot.“ what am I to do with myself now?” I cried out as I slowly stepped back. I had endangered the life of an alpha because of a stupid mistake. I mistake that could now and danger the entire Park. my mind flashes back to that night. when I heard that knock on my door and I came down those stairs. everything had felt so surreal. nothing was out of place. it was just a normal night only that there was a lot of celebration coming from the park Square. and the distance from our house to the park Square was quite large. seeing as our house was just the regular cl
