Once A Princess, Now A Slave

37- Mine

Kelsie's POV

I am here in my room, staring at my ceiling. I just got out of my shower and currently on my cycling shorts and tank top. This is the clothes I am comfortable with.

I look outside of the window. The weather turns gloomy and the heavy rain is pouring. Large drops of rain knocks onto my roof. I watch the raindrops crawl onto my window. After a couple of minutes doing nothing and just staring at nowhere, the rain stops. I look at the wall clock hanging on the left corner of

my room. It's only 3 in the afternoon yet, the clouds look dark and it feels like it's nearing the night time.

I stand on my bed and walk toward the window. I slide it open and let the air touch my skin. I close my eyes sensually as I feel the breeze hitting my face. This is the kind of weather I like -not hot and sunny or loud and rainy. Just a refreshing breeze to embrace my warm body.

"Hold them tight, Kristine. They might fall!"

I furrowed my brows. My eyes dropped on the ground floor. I saw Kristine carrying a box of I don't know what. Behind her is her mother carrying her personal bag, and two other omegas are following them with boxes on their hands.

I arched a brow. They are all struggling to walk due to the damp ground.

"Oh my gooshh!!!"

My lips parted and I burst out in laughter when Denette slipped. She fell and hit her butt first.

"My god, mom. Are you okay?!" Kristine rushed to her and helped. But due to the wet and muddy ground, it took her a hard time to stand.

The omegas dropped the boxes that they were holding and quickly helped her. When she finally managed to stand, she fixed her stance. She is dusting off some mud off her dress when her eyes accidentally landed on the boxes on the ground.

"What are you doing?!" she yelled. She pointed to the boxes hysterically. "Why did you put them down?! They will get dirty!" she said in a hysterical tone. "Those are my dresses. Pick them up, hurry!" she ordered.

The two omegas quickly picked up the boxes that they dropped.

"I swear. If my dresses were ruined, I'll destroy your lives!" she yelled.

I shake my head as I watch them down there. They continue walking while the two omegas lowered their heads and followed the two of them.

I tilt my head when I notice where they are heading. My brows furrowed.

"Why are they..." My jaw dropped. I saw them entering the house in front of ours. This is where the exclusive house is located! Was there an announcement that we should move out today? Why didn't they tell me? Ugh!

I hurriedly grab my luggage and lay it down the floor. I opened it and quickly pulled my clothes out of my closet.

If they moved out, it's possible for Connor's family to move in today! I don't want them to think that I have no plans of stepping out of this house since I haven't packed anything yet.

I am in a hurry packing my bag when suddenly, I hear three consecutive knocks on the door.

"Jesus!" I yelped. My hands flew on my chest. I can feel my heart beating.

"Princess, may I come in?" said the voice.

I almost jump in joy when I heard Gia's voice. I quickly run to the door and opened it.

"Thank god, you're here!" I reach for her wrist and pulled her inside. "Help me with this!" | ordered.

She looked confused but still lend a hand to help me.

"What's going on, princess?" she asked while folding properly the clothes that I tossed inside my luggage

"They did not tell me that we will move out today!" I exclaimed without looking at her. I am panicking and I feel like Gia is also under stress. I am busy cleaning my vanity mirror and packing my make ups while she's arranging my clothes in my luggage.

"What do you mean we will move out, princess?" she asked while hurriedly packing my things.

I stopped what I am doing and turn to face her. "Why? You will not come with me?" I asked.

She looked at me with pure confusion. "To where?"

I rolled my eyes at her. "I said, we will move out. I saw Denette and Kristine moving their things and heading to the exclusive village. I guess today should be the day that we will move out of the alpha house yet they did not tell me!" | ranted.

I harshly toss my perfume bottle on my bag and zip it close. The silence that my personal assistant is giving me confusion. I looked at her and she looked also confused.

"What?" I asked. "Hurry up and maybe the Maccon family might be here any minute!" I ordered.

I rush inside my bathroom to grab my toiletries. I am currently packing my soap and a bottle of shampoo when I heard Gia call me from the outside.

"Uhhmm, princess?" she called in a hesitant tone.

"What?" I asked while busy cleaning up my bathroom essentials. I hurriedly step out of my bathroom to toss my things on my bag.

Gia is standing at the end of my bed. I notice that half of my clothes are now folded while the other half still looked like a tornado past on them.

"Princess, I think you misunderstand something..." she smiled at me awkwardly.

I tilt my head and furrowed my brows as I look at her. "What do you mean?"

Before she can speak, someone knock on the door.

Gia hurriedly attend and open it.

"What are you doing here?" I asked. Connor is standing on the doorway. One of his hands is still holding the door knob when he pushed it open.

His eyes roamed into my room until it landed on my scattered things and unpacked clothes. His gaze darted back at me.

"What are you doing?" he asked.

I rolled my eyes. "My stepmother and sister did not tell me that we will move out to the exclusive house today, I just saw them outside while carrying their things," I shrugged.

He lowered his head and sighed. His fingers reached the bridge of his nose and pressed it.

"I-I was about to explain it to her, A-Alpha..." Gia nervously said.

My forehead crumples. I cannot understand what they are talking about.

Connor lift his head and inserted his hands into his pocket. "It's okay," he answered. He then look at Gia.

"You may go. I will talk to her," he added.

Gia bowed her head to him. She faced me and do the same before walking out of the room.

I was about to protest since we are not yet done packing when Connor caught my attention.

"Kelsie.." he called. I look at him and our eyes locked. "Where are you going?" he asked

My shoulders slumped down. "I told you, I will move out."

One of his eyebrows arched. "Says who?"

He advances towards me until he closed our gap. He reached for my elbows and place them on my sides, making the toiletries in my hand fall on the floor.

I have to tilt my head and looked up to him since he is taller than me. My face only levels his chest.

"Connor-

"I kick them away for you to have peace in this house and now you're going to go?" he said in a low voice.

I gulp. His minty breath s brushing against my cheeks. He cup my chin and lift it up to lock our eyes.

"If you still don't understand, I want you all by myself, Kelsie."

My lips parted and my heart started pounding loud. The fact that I am nervous that he maybe hear my heartbeat made my heart beat louder.

His eyes dropped on my lips. Unconsciously, I licked my lower lip, conscious that it maybe dry.

"F*ck," he uttered.

My thoughts are still floating in my mind and I am in the middle of choosing the right words to say when he grabbed me by my waist and pulled my closer for a deep and long kiss.
