"I don't think you really want to talk about that right now."She snapped as she looked at me. "And why is that?" I became more terrified within the thought of what the haunted villa was all about and why Jack Steele had threatened me with it. And I knew he wasn't just coming up with the whole haunted villa stuff to scare me. The dream I had an hour ago, the man who was drowning me in the pool of blood also had the same tattoos as Jack and the voice of the person that had walked in, urging him to go harder on me so that I couldn't escape still had his voice, manly enough and thick. "They are just rumors, nothing more and nothing less, you can trust me on that."She shrugged as she forced a smile on her face. Looking at her right now, I could tell that she was definitely hiding something from me. "Can you take me there?"I asked in a curious tone. "Take you there? Are you insane? Hell no, there's no way that I am taking you there or even stepping my legs inside that building."S
I walked gently behind the four ladies and they kept quiet like they were dumb. All they did was to lead me to wherever Jace Steele was.The more we walked, the more I could perceive his whiff which was very strong and the stronger it got, my heart slowed down. "Drop it already?"I groaned as I could gradually feel Raven (my wolf) get agile. I could feel the excitement in her as she kept on pacing in my head and wagging her fluffy tail. We were closely bonded that the slightest movement she made I could feel it and after the last time I heard her say that word, "MATE" she had dropped weak and now again, I could feel the excitement. "I hope his wolf gets to like me!""Can you just stop with your daydreaming already?"I snapped her out of that thought of Jace's wolf getting to like her. "He knew you all along and yet, still had the mind to torture us."I scoffed as I kept moving. And right now, I could tell that we were very close to where he was. "C'mon, don't be such a killjoy."
"What!?"They gasped as I told them the cause of my bruises. "You mean my brother did this to you?" Peter growled as he grabbed my hand. “How could he do this to you?”Jane cursed as she came closer to me to examine the bruises I had gotten. “How could he be so cruel towards you?”She whimpered as she had me sir on the bed. She brought out a first aid kit as she treated my wound. “Uhm!” Katherine cleared her throat as she rolled her eyes. “What is it you want to say now?”Peter scoffed as he looked at her. “I doubt if Darcy Snow stands a chance of being Jace's mate.”She rolled her eyes again as she sighed. “C'mon, don't give me that look again, Jane.”She scoffed as she hissed. “How could a man in his right senses hurt a lady in such a manner? How could he send his claws deep inside her flesh and even in her neck? Wasn't that extreme?”She paced about as she kept on ranting and pouring her heart. “That is why I hate powerful men!”She concluded with a heavy hiss. “Can you
I stood up as I took the cloth and then went to change my cloth. I treated the little bruises I had incurred from Jack's brutality. “Are you insane?” Peter questioned as he saw me wearing the maid's gown. “Wait! Don't tell me elder brother, Jace Steele did this to you?”He shuddered as he looked at my right fingers.“And why would he have you do the maid's work when you are his beloved second chance mate? This is crazy. I mean f*cking crazy.”Jane said in a disgusted tone as she sat down on the bed. “Are you really sure you want to walk down this lane, Snowy?”“This lane would really be a difficult one because he despises you already, so what are the chances that you get to be accepted as his second chance mate?”Peter went on and on asking several questions.I stared at him and wished he was my mate after all. At least, ever since I stepped my feet here, he has always been caring and concerned about my well-being. “I will go talk to Jace.”“It wasn't just Jace's decision but Jack
I swept and mopped the floor, not leaving a single dirt. He ordered me to scrub the dining table thoroughly before leaving which I hurriedly did before I went to prepare another oyster Rockefeller and sandwich for him again.I walked down in the lonely street to get few stuff.Luckily for me I was able to get them and before I was done with his dinner it was already few minutes past 10p.m.He ate the food and ordered me to do the dishes as a punishment for starving him. And when I was done with the dishes I was completely exhausted.I had never worked this hard in my entire life. I also had to scrub the kitchen floor and clean the gas cooker and the table as well.Moved to the dining and I also scrubbed the floor with a little towel which made it a very tiring task. And before I got done with all the chores it was already few minutes left to 1a.m in the morning. My eyes were heavy and I really needed to sleep as well. I returned back to the room I had been occupying just to see Jac
He stepped out of the room after advising that I follow him now unless I was never ever going to find out.I felt this curiosity that came with the hate in me.“What other secret were they hiding from me?”Everyone came with different secrets and now, the one man I am about to go all down for just whispered into my ear and the calmness I felt immediately went sour and my heart skipped in fear, racing really fast as my head would not stop spinning. It all didn't make any sense but then when my eyes met with his cold eyes, it crushed me from within and when he went on to smirk, this numbness slowly spread through my chest.I followed him and kept following him in silence. This was unusual, Peter was silent and that was different. We exited the royal villa as he took me down a quiet street. Only a few werewolves were up already and they were preparing for the day's work ahead. “Where are you taking me to, Peter?”“What secret have you been hiding?”I finally asked two major questions t
We returned back to the royal villa before it clocked 6a.m.The guards greeted us in unison with a smile on their face. Peter wasn't much interested in their greetings as he wore a cold face as he walked past them and all I did was to reciprocate their every smile. “Please, no-no-no-no-no!”Allison's voice rang in my head loudly as I walked into the villa. “Don't do this to me, please!”“I have always loved you, Snow. I was just blinded by her deceit, her lies, her desires for power which I couldn't see. Please, don't reject me as your mate, please Snow!”He pleaded as he cried in a weak manner, struggling with the chains on his body.“If you don't come with me, our pack will fall to the ground. Everything we built together will collapse. Snow, don't! Please, don't do it!”He went on begging and begging but then I couldn't just stand his sight. Peter was right, if possible – I would have tore him apart for the pains he made me go through. For cheating on me with my own best friend,
I groaned as I opened my eyes and I saw Peter, Jane and Katherine staring at me.My vision was still quite blurry but I could tell they were the one. “You are finally awake!”Peter shuddered as he stepped closer.“What happened to me?”I asked in a weak voice as I supported myself up, leaning on the bed frame now and a pillow that supported me from behind. “You had a blackout and trust me when I say you don't look good at all.”Jane replied as she touched my neck to feel my temperature. “When last did you even get a proper sleep?”Katherine snapped as she sat down on the left side of the bed, opposite Jane. “You really looked messed up, Snowy!”Jane whimpered as she touched my body and my face.“It's just the second day and you already have bruises all over your body? C’mon Snowy, I really doubt your chances of being his mate!”Katherine said.“Get off it already!”Jane yelled at her immediately as she pressed my wound gently with the towel she had soaked in a hot water. “You will
