Andrea~ Contrary to what a lot of people believed, fighting was actually a good source of stress relief for me. Had always been since the day I had learnt to throw a punch.As I looked at the servant curled into a ball on the floor my heart thudded, adrenaline coursing through my veins and making me feel super good.“My lady, are you alright?” Shirley asked as she ran to me with a towel in her hand.“I am very fine actually,” I replied and took the towel from her. It was warm and damp and felt absolutely soothing against my knuckles, they felt bruised from use.“Thank you for this,” I said once again and flipped the towel to the other side and used it to dry off the bead of sweat forming around my eyebrows and dripping down my face.“Could you head up and run me another bath? A hot one I can soak off in for a while,” I asked her and she nodded moving quickly to get the order carried out.As I stood there with the towel in my hand, I looked around to see the servants standing around st

Andrea~*Months ago...Karen and I took a walk in the woods, holding a pic in basket in our hands. We wanted to spend the entire evening together, it was something we hadn’t done in a long time and after now we weren’t certain when next we’d be able to do it again.“I love the evening breeze,” I said as waves of cold breeze washed over me. Karen turned to look at me and smiled.“I love it too,” she said.We walked till we reached a clearing, the same clearing we had been having our picnics from when we were little girls.I helped her spread open the picnic mat over the open ground and placed the basket on it.We both settled down on the mat and I opened the basket to bring out the fruits and foods that we had packed specially for the occasion.“Do you love Jackson?” She had asked me. It was a personal question that no one had asked yet. I knew it was quite evident to the people around that both of us had something strong going on even though we hadn’t confirmed that we were meant to b

RONIN. As she glanced down at the length of her skirt and stomped out of the room with the tray in her hand, I sighed.I was getting better at pissing her off that I could probably win the prize for it if there was a contest.I sat down back on the bed tiredly and placed my head in my palm.Why the fuck had such verdict spewed out from my mouth?In an instant I was transported to the days before I became an alpha.*“Ronin, what happened to your shirt?” My mother asked concern in her voice.For the first time since I had stepped out of the house that day, I glanced down at my shirt that ‘was white’ as it now looked brown like I had gone for a dip in the swine with pigs. Frey’s, the servant tasked with taking care of me at all times rushed in looking distraught. I had ran off after using my mother’s cloak to mask my scent to go wrestle with a few friends.“Nothing,” I grumbled and my mother frowned, obviously not believing me and turned to Freya.“What happened to Ronin?”Freya bowed

ANDREA.His grip on my neck was unyielding and I could mentally see the veins in my forehead and neck pop out as he continued to choke me. He had a very disappointing look. "Let go of me m, you sick fuck!" I growled, glaring at him from the position he had put me in. I couldn't move an inch because of the way he held me tightly. I feared that if he had me that way for a little too much, he might wound me. "Are you deaf?!" I growled again, watching as he continued doing his thing. "Shut up or I will make it worse for you. You think you can run your mouth whenever you want, right?" He asked, his jaw tightening and the veins in his temples became very visible. "Well, I'm going to teach you a lesson that you will never forget. Maybe before you open your mouth to talk to me, you will think twice about it. I've been quiet for too long and you thought it was your opportunity to say whatever you wanted to say to me. I'm going to let you know that you don't have the right to do that here, and

-CHAPTER 19-ANDREA.Everything about the room, despite the inner turmoil I was going through, added in the sadness that had wrapped itself around me. I was hurt and utterly disappointed by the things I had been subjected to in the past few days. My heart was heavy and it was all burdened by the weight of the choices I couldn't undo. I just wanted somewhere or something to do that would purge my heart of the anger that was clogged deep down. And the worst thing about this was the fact that the terrible feeling kept increasing with each passing moment. For the first time since I arrived here, I was regretting that I had taken my sister's place, but it was like a spilled cup of milk- you couldn't gather it back. I shook my head in pain as I remembered all that had preceded this moment. I could still hear the echo of Ronin's anger in my head. At times I would get up and pace around the room like a caged beast, wishing that it would blow the cobwebs away, but it wouldn't
