Out of the corner of my eye, I saw Selene shook her head and shrugged.
“I don’t know, my lady. I was here, scrubbing the floor, when that— the— she climbed on the stool and fell.”
“And what did you do when she fell?”
“My lady?”
“Almond had time to come all the way from the closet and try to help Joy before we got here. But we found you here, still holding that brush. You didn’t even try to help her.”
“I— What do you mean, my lady?”
Marla snorted, her patience wearing thin.
“How did she fall?” she asked.
“I don’t know, my lady. She lost her balance?”
“That’s plain to see. What made her lose her balance?”
“I don’t know, my lady.”
Marla sniffed the air and flashed a smirk that would’ve worrie

The Secret Love of the Wolf Prince 46
As we headed to the healers’ common chamber, three human women jumped out of a small door I hadn’t noticed before. They bowed before Tilda without really stopping their trot toward my room, carrying all their cleaning elements.Marla and the other wolves convinced me to lay down in one of the small side rooms. Tilda made me drink the speedwell tea and I couldn’t help dozing off.I jolted awake in the middle of the night, still in the healers’ chambers. I ignored my aching cuts as a swung the covers away. Then I breathed deep and tried to calm down.I felt numb. My splinted arm hurt and throbbed, the shawl tied so tight I didn’t feel that hand anymore. The fingers in my other hand tingled, and the movement to grab the covers sent shocks of pain up to my elbow.I was alone in the small side room. No lights and no sounds coming from the main chamber. I waited till my eyes adjusted to the shadows. Then I got up and tiptoed across

I spent the whole day in my room, with Aine looking after me and Tilda’s periodic visits to check on me. She agreed to let me have my arms without any dressing, only keeping the splinted one in the sling.Aine turned out to be the best company ever. She helped me wash and wear a loose sleeveless petticoat she’d brought. The fireplace kept the room temperature so well, I only needed a shawl around my shoulders.While we were having lunch, she couldn’t fight her curiosity back any longer and started asking me questions. So I ended up telling her about Lily, Selene and Aurora.“So there’s still one of them roaming free in the castle?” she cried.“Remember the girl who brought us tea the other day?”“That’s why she stared at you like that!”“I’m afraid so.”In the afternoon, she helped me sit by the window with one of the books she’d brought, and tol

I straightened up, a hand covering my closed eyes, as he came closer. He rested his hands on my shoulders and brushed my hair to the side with his nose to kiss my neck. I shivered with a shaky sigh.“What happened to the ribbon I sent you?” he asked in my ear, gently moving my hand away from my face.“I don’t know, my lord. I can’t remember where I left it.”I was still speaking when he covered my eyes with a ribbon wider than the white one I’d found. He tied it behind my head and his lips brushed my neck again.“Open your eyes,” he whispered.I did and saw only darkness.“Did you have another black one with you?” I asked, surprised.“It was on the mantelpiece,” he replied, amused.“Oh!”I had no chance to speak any further, because he lifted me carefully in his arms to take me back to bed.“You’re supposed to res

“The other girl!” the princess growled through clenched teeth. “Aine says the girl tried to keep her from sharing your dinner.”I nodded, closing my eyes, and folded my arms against my chest, feeling cold. I heard a shuffle and something heavy covered me. The door opened again, and I recognized Tilda’s footsteps, coming up to leave something on the table. The princess pressed my hand.“You were right, child,” she said. “What’s in your leftovers is no clove. Rest now. I’ll take care of it personally. Those little bitches won’t hurt you ever again.”“Room…” I muttered.“Your guardian can’t come see you in broad daylight,” she whispered.I nodded and tried to shrugged. She scoffed.“Aye, aye. I’ll have it cleaned so they can take you back there.”I opened my eyes out of sheer surprise when she kissed my forehead.

“It was quite a racket,” Aine said in her merry way. “The humans almost have a mass heart attack when Mom summoned them and demanded them to tell who had poisoned our food. None of them hesitated to finger that little bitch. She fell down on her knees, crying and begging for mercy. She was so shameless to admit what she’d done, but insisted she only intended to harm you, not me. Picture that!”I shook my head, scoffing. It was so like Aurora. Of course she would. After abusing me her whole life, she didn’t see anything wrong about harming me.“So Mom sent all the cooks in that shift to the cleaning area, to scrub floors until further notice. And they should be thankful, because my uncle wanted to kick them all out, from the castle and even the Dale.” Aine noticed my questioning frown. “My uncle. You know, the Alpha.”Her words reminded me of something I’d seen.“He was at Tilda&

The next week was some kind of oasis after my arrival in the castle.I recovered from the intoxication, the cuts in my arm and face healed, and my other arm seemed almost ready to be free from the splints.I spent the mornings with the healers, the afternoons with Aine, and the nights with the wolf. For the first time ever, I didn’t miss the quietness of the cave, and I was starting to feel that living in the castle wouldn’t be as bad as I feared over my first days.It was during those quiet days that Tilda noticed I had the wrong idea about the human women serving in the castle. I thought they were exploited by the wolves, so she took the time to explain to me how the whole thing worked.They lived in Iria, which means fruitful land, a beautiful little town three miles south of the castle, in houses they shared with two or three roommates.Nobody worked more than six hours a day, five days a week, with two full free days. It w

“Am I in time for dinner?” he whispered in my ear.“They just brought it, my lord,” I muttered, tilting my head to give him better access to my neck.He made me sit on the bed and left me there. I heard him open the window, and if my ears were right, he climbed to the table. He went out the window and came back in twice. I waited, holding back my curiosity. Soon he was back, and I heard him take off his clothes and change.Then he licked my cheek, pushing my blindfold up. I took it off and scratched his neck, chuckling.“What are you up to, my lord?”He licked my face again and jumped onto the table. Thank God it was a sturdy piece of furniture and didn’t break, though it creaked under his weight. The wolf glanced at me with his fore legs on the windowsill, wagged his tail and jumped out. I followed.Just like the healers’ chambers, my windows too opened a few inches over the ground of the mead

The next morning, Tilda looked satisfied after checking my arm and removed the splints. I still needed the sling, but I was glad those hard sticks were gone. After breakfast, she gave me a sheet of paper, written in big, clear letters.“Can you read it?” she asked.Being able to read all the words almost without errors made me feel good. It was a list of kitchen condiments they didn’t grow in the medicinal garden.“Ronda is going to the kitchens. Go with her and bring me those, please.”I nodded with a big grin. They’d finally allow me to venture further than their chambers and my room! I grabbed the basket Tilda handed me and hurried out to the healers’ chambers, where I found Ronda waiting for me.She took me to the door to the garden and opened a big inner door to a broad bend in the hallway, that ran parallel to the outside wall. Windows opened in that door every few steps, letting in the daylight that

The next morning, I found the cuff of his shirt showing out the trunk with my clothes. I took it and pressed it against my face, smiling. If I couldn’t spend the day with him, at least I could start it with his exquisite scent.Over breakfast, the list that Helga had given me passed from hand to hand around the healers’ table, causing murmurs and surprise.Kendra greeted me with her usual stern nod when I went to the kitchens. Heather hurried to me with her short, quick steps.“There you are, lionet. Come, come, we have a ton of peas to peel,” she said, nodding to the table where Rose and Primrose were working.I followed her, surprised by her friendly welcome. While Heather and Rose made room for me between them, I handed Primrose a small flask wrapped in a strip of paper.“For your finger,” I said, keeping my voice down. “This will help it heal and ease the pain. I wrote down the instructions for you.&rdq

He led me down a hallway that smelled of citrus and the oil from the lamps. We walked down a staircase with smooth steps, and then another hallway until a place that threw me off. It felt like we were outdoors, but the temperature and the stillness of the air told me we were still inside. It had to be a huge place. Then I noticed the humidity in the air. The floor was covered with big carved tiles, warm under my bare feet.The wolf put the small crate with his lotions and brushes in my hands.“Wait here, my child,” he said, kissing me.He walked away and I heard him take his clothes off before letting out that muffled gasp he couldn’t help when he changed. A moment later, he rubbed his furry head against my cheek.I took off the ribbon covering my eyes with a bright grin. He looked up and around, inviting me to do the same.The place was a true wonder. It was a hall large enough to fit three or four two-story village houses in it.

I nodded, pretending to read the woman’s small, tight handwriting, but I actually could only recognize the vowels.“Of course. I have them ready right tomorrow.”“That would be great. I can bring them to them.”“Wouldn’t you have any trouble, if they see you come back from this side with a basket of medicines?”“You’re right. I didn’t think about it.”“What time do you start your shift?”“It’s the dinner shift, from six to midnight.”“Good. I’ll take everything to the kitchens tomorrow, with detailed instructions for every remedy.”“You better come about this time, after we serve dinner upstairs.”“Of course. We can’t make them wait.”“Thank you, Joy.” Helga’s smile was open and honest. “I knew the rumors couldn’t be true.”

I stayed in the kitchens, helping anyway I could, until Kendra waved me over.“Enough for today, child. You’ve worked well, and you can come back tomorrow if you want.”I nodded with a quick bow, happy like Christmas. Before leaving, I waved goodbye at the three women. They were observing me, and flashed quick smiles at me.I found Tilda walking out of her chamber to go to Marla’s. She greeted me with a rare warm smile.“I’ve never seen you so happy,” she said, motioning for me to join her.“It’s the first time in my life I’m among humans who don’t insult me or abuse me because of how I look. I never thought it possible.”She paused to face me, and her grimace gave me a bad feeling. Especially because she hesitated before speaking.“You’re not supposed to know about it, but the cooks were warned against making any comment about your looks. They were in

That morning, I wore the dress I’d tried the night before, with the apron and the bonnet. For the first time since I’d gotten to the castle, I didn’t feel any pain in the arm the mountain lion had injured. I decided to let it be, putting the sling in the apron pocket just in case. I left my room carrying the tray with the dinner we’d never gotten to eat.I realized it was later than I’d thought when I found Almond and another woman cleaning Tilda’s chamber. Almond smiled hi at me. I noticed she didn’t look so congested anymore. I touched my nose, raising my eyebrows, and she nodded with another smile.Tilda came in from the other chambers and I faced them with my most docile ways, showing her the tray in my hands.“I’m taking this to the kitchens. Do you need anything from there? If not, I’d like to see if I can help there.”“Where’s your sling?” she asked.“I

I pushed my body against his hips, ignoring his attempt to stop me, and he froze for a long moment, to make sure I wasn’t in any kind of pain.His hips moved cautiously back, only a little, and then pushed forward again, his hands grabbing my waist to keep me from trying it again. Next, one of his hands moved under me to reach my groin. His fingers sneaked between the folds of my skin to rub my clit as his hips moved again, in synch with his fingers.I moaned and shivered, covered in sweat, my heart pounding in my chest, feeling him thrust inside me.He only let his need took over when he realized I was reaching my limit. Then his growls mixed with my moans and his hips pushed faster. I melted against his fingers at the same time he poured his seed in my guts, his fire becoming a part of my own climax.He dropped himself on top of me, panting, wrapping me in his intoxicating scent and warmth. He didn’t rush to leave my body, holding me out of

That afternoon, after a couple of hours studying with Aine in the meadow, I got back to my room to find something wrapped in fabric on my bed.I opened it and blushed so hard my ears burned. It was a translucent, low-cut petticoat. The short bodice wouldn’t cover my navel, and the long skirt was made with two independent folds of fabric that didn’t close by the front, nor behind.Then I noticed the small piece of paper that had fallen on the bearskin. I grabbed it and found three words written in a right-atilt, beautiful handwriting, big and clear so I could read it without any problem: I love you.I kissed the paper with tears in my eyes.That evening, I wore the daring petticoat, but decided to play a little joke on the wolf. So I put on one of the work dresses from my trunk, closed from the high collar down to my feet. I was adding apron and bonnet to the attire when Helga brought my dinner. She looked me up and down with a questio
