AILEEN’S POV "Whoa… This spot is stunning; I don’t know how I could have missed it all these years that I stayed here." I breathed in the scent of the clean river and the forest that was some miles away from us. It was a good thing that we chose to come to this place, the smell of alcohol, of sex and everything that was in between burned my nose. I held onto the railings as I raised my head and closed my eyes, I listened to the wind and thought about everything that had happened. The burden that had been weighing on my heart for a prolonged amount of time was finally lifted when I transformed into a werewolf. It had been a very long time since I was able to experience this kind of freedom, this liberty at being myself. I suddenly turned to Joshua who had been staring at me, I felt his eyes but I chose to ignore it. "You haven't been to this place before, have you?” He asked me and I shook my head, my tied hair followed my small movements. Whenever people stopped, they turned to star

AUTHOR’S POV After receiving instructions from Joshua, who had gone out to take care of something else, one of the mansion's maids showed Aileen the way to her room. Both of them proceeded along the hallways in a deafening hush; neither Aileen nor the servants spoke a word, and Aileen did not care; she was immersed in her own thoughts, and she could also sense the menacing eyes that were directed towards her. In addition to this, she questioned something that left her perplexed and wondering, "Why are you leading me in circles? You were instructed to show me the way to my room, weren't you? Even though we have passed by this location three times at this point, we have not yet arrived at where you are taking me to?" Aileen came to a halt in the middle of the hallway, crossing her arms over her chest as she peered at the maid who had been motionless. Aileen scoffed and turned her gaze away from the maid; did she really believe that she would not notice? "If it was your intention to i

AUTHOR’S POV "Could you please bring some order to the court?" Lord Wallace, a member of the Werewolf Council and the second in command after Joshua, smacked his staff three times on the ground, and he also infused each strike with a little bit of energy so that it would better alert them to the fact that he was getting bored of listening to them argue with one another. After they had finished their conversation, Mr. Wallace turned his head to have a look at Joshua, who was being quiet and had his attention fixed on Harriet. Joshua was aware that he was being watched, and when he turned around, the two of them made eye contact. After the fight with Vivian, Harriet called for a meeting in the council. Not only was he angry that a ‘human’ woman had dared to injure his daughter, he was also angry that his house had been embarrassed. "This gathering was convened on behalf of Lord Harriet, whose daughter was injured by the woman who claimed to be Alpha Joshua's mate." When Mr. Wallace s

"Ah…" Aileen exhaled a sigh of contentment as she eased herself into the warm water that Lila had brought over for her. It was such a relief to have someone who would do what you wanted without making a fuss about it. Within the water, there were a lot of rose petals and scented soaps, and the sound of the water moving around was soothing to Aileen's hearing. It was like music to her ears. Her muscles were strained from the roughly five long hours of training that she had received from that slave driver, but her body was still tingling excitedly from the experience. "That jerk is even more heartless than Joshua; I don't understand how he could treat me in such a manner." Aileen's expression changed from one of displeasure to one of glee as she recalled the grin that was plastered across her teacher for the day face as he helped her practice. She could sense that he not only took pleasure in instructing her, but that he also took some delight in the fact that she did not give up when t

“So you started working here when you were just twelve years old?” I asked Terry who nodded in response. After Joshua left earlier this morning, I came out to train but Terry was already there. After some hours, we decided to rest for a bit and Terry told me of how he came to work in the mansion. “Then it's been a very long time, but, why are you still stuck being a mere guard? From your skills, I can see that you're good enough to be promoted or something… except people here see more than what I see?” I leaned back as Terry shook his head gently. “I chose to stay this way. I had gotten a chance of promotion years before now but I have friends that I don't want to leave behind, silly right? Some people say that I'm stupid to forgo my chances because of ‘mere’ friends.” Terry glanced at me but I pursed my lips and glanced at the darkening sky. “I agree with them.” I started but as Terry wanted to speak, I cut him off and continued, “I know that I do not know enough of the conce
