2126 Words
“She’s okay” Willow blurted and there was a quick change In Eloise face.
“What do you mean Miss Willow?, she was holding her tummy and screaming in pain and…”
“Have I ever been wrong about something like this?, she’s fully okay and nothing is wrong with her!” Willow shakes her head, wanting to just ask Arya her purpose for doing this.
Arya laid there with a compressed lips as she didn’t know how to attend to this now that her secrets is out.
“Arya, don’t tell me you were actually faking your sickness?” Eloise moved up to her whilst tapping her.
“Just so you can withdraw from the selection that every other ladies are dying to participate in?” She rasped.
“But I don’t want to!” Arya finally cut the drama as she voiced out.
“You could’ve withdrawn without making a fuss like this?” Sje awaits her reply.
“Do you think I’ll resort to this method if I didn’t try that?” She rolled her eyes whilst feeling highly disappointed.
“I knew you were pretending” Willow walked in on them and Arya felt like shrinking to the ground.
She jumped off the bed and rushed over to Willow whilst grabbing her hands as if they were so close.
“Can you please keep this a secret?” She begged.
“Why should I ?” Willow asked, gazing down on her.
“Because you are a woman like me and you wouldn’t want to be forced to do what you don’t like”
“Not in this pack!, you’ll be forced to do lots of things that you don’t like and this is just the beginning” Willow angrily yelled at her.
“After all you did to leave the selection process, you’re still in there regardless of whatever trick you have left, just let things go the way your creator wants it and stop trying to twist your fate, you belong to the Alpha!” Willow uttered a piece of hee advice and left Arya speechless as she exit the room.
“Eloise, take her to the Alpha Kings chamber secretly once she’s settled” Eloise nods whilst staring at Arya who looked totally detached from life.
“A..” she pushed her softly.
“Are you okay?” Eloise asked when she saw a drop of tear escaped her eyes.
“Do you really hate to participate in this that much?, or is it something else that you hate?” She queried, indirectly talking as she wouldn’t want to land herself into trouble.
“Everything here!” Arya break down in tears whilst trying to get a hold of herself.
Eloise was so shocked.
“I do not belong here?, why is he forcing me into what I don’t want?, how am I supposed to adjust to you people way of living?, how???” She rasped and more tears flow down her cheeks.
“But miss Willow said nothing was wrong with you?” Eloise gulped as she stared unconsciously.
She was sure that Arya must have hit her against the wall or anything hard and that’s why she was acting like this.
“You’ll be fine but can we just go to where you are needed and we will talk about this later?” Arya nods her eyes, Eloise was literally begging with her eyes.
She wiped her tears and walked side by side with Eloise as they passed through the secret hallway to meet Damon.
If news should spread that he met up with one of the contestant secretly, there’ll be lots of speculations about Arya.
He’s so thoughtful.
“Can’t you just go in with me?” Arya has found her safe place with Eloise, she just wants to talk to her and let her stay by her side.
“That’s impossible but I’ll stay here, waiting for you” she winked whilst pushing her forward.
Arya shrugged her shoulder and cleared her throat whilst stepping into his bedroom.
She didn’t see anyone at the first glance and she thought maybe he was in the washroom.
“You’re leaving?” Damon asked as he pulled up from the bed where he laid with the bed sheets over his head,
“No…I”
“Just stop, you can’t lie” He attacked whilst beckoning to her with his fingers.
She nods her head and proceed to getting to where he was but stopped few steps to him.
Damon groaned and tilted his head before grabbing her waist and jerking her over till she fell right beside him and Arya just packed her hands to protect her chest.
“When will you stop acting like this?” Damon’s voice breaks as he spoke softly to her.
His eyes screaming just how much he craves and want her but she’s just too blind to notice.
Arya decided to play the silent game as she just gazed down without saying a word.
“You win, because I want you to” He whispered softly and moved down whilst leaning on her body and hugging her tightly.
“This isn’t against your will, you need warmth from me and your body is cold” Damon snuggled up to her and rested his head on her boobs whilst rubbing her body all the way to her lower back.
He really needed to be in that position as he fell asleep in less than 10 minutes of staying in that position.
**
Arya stared at him with such a deadly glare as she slowly proceed to pulling out her hairpin.
The only thing on her mind was how to get rid of him as he makes her whole life miserable.
Maybe she would have been able to save her mother if he didn’t try to take her in exchange for what he did.
She hates him so much.
Arya’s hand shakes as she proceeds to stabbing him at where she directed her eyes, his chest.
‘I can do it!’ She motivated herself whilst breathing rapidly.
And without hesitation, she raised it up and stabbed him so hard to the point that the pin went so deep and couldn’t be pulled out.
“Arhhh” Damon screamed in pain and alarmed the guards.
Arya immediately jerked away whilst falling to the floor as she stares at her bloody hands.
“You’ve…” Eloise was lost for words as they rush Inside to see the situation.
Soon, the elders and Owen filled the alpha chamber.
“You’ve killed him!” Owen screamed with tears in his eyes as he grabbed her by her collar with his eyes red and filled with hot tears.
“You’ll be killed in the most brutal way!”
“Oh my!”
**
Arya flashed out of her thoughts as she thinks of what will happen to her if she intends to hurt him.
Yet, he didn’t wake up.
‘Why is he so comfortable with sleeping in this position when all I’m thinking is how to get rid of him?” She thought to herself and slowly excused herself from his clutch.
She exit his room with Eloise and they went back to the Maidens Quarter where she bumped into one of the maidens.
“Where are you coming from?” The lady asked with a very rude tone:
Eloise bowed to pay her respect as she knew who was.
“And why should I tell you that?” Arya rolled her eyes angrily and walked past her.
“You can’t do that..” Eloise said softly to her.
“She is the daughter of 1 of the highest official and..”
“So?” Arya quizzed?
“Do I look like someone that cares about another persons high status?, she can act mighty to whoever will let her but not to me!” Arya was talking to Eloise, yet she was so loud so the lady could hear.
“Moreover, we were both chosen to be in this selection, aren’t we equal now?” She hissed and brushed past the lady who was left speechless.
“You might get yourself into trouble for what you did just now?” Eloise uttered as she helped her to undo her hair.
“I do not care!” Arya shrugged, meaning every single words that came out of her mouth.
While everyone was sleeping, Arya and Eloise spent their time watching the moonlight whilst talking about everything she had little idea of about this place.
Eloise was beginning to sense that she might really not be from this pack but she’s not ready to confront her about it.
“Aww” Eloise yawned tiredly, Indicating that she needs to go to the maid quarters to sleep.
“Will anything happen if you sleep here?” Arya asked, Eloise said nothing and was allowed to sleep on the bed while Arya kept on wishing upon the stars.
She was planning her whole life in her head and ended up falling asleep whilst resting on the wall.
Dawn
A cold breeze blew into the room as the whole place looked as if they were in the snow.
Arya was hugging herself as she wrapped her hands around her legs, sleeping in a way no one could ever imagine that she could.
Eloise woke up to drag the bed sheets over her body only to see Arya’s shadow from afar.
She immediately jumped down from the bed and rushed up to her so she could sleep in her rightful spot.
The two ended up sleeping on the bed and Arya wouldn’t stop shivering.
The morning
Alpha King Damon was summoned at the Werewolf headquarters for some urgent issues that needed his attention as he is the King of all Werewolves, instantly becoming the most hated and dangerous as well.
He left whilst leaving Arya in Phoebes care as Owen would take over his duties since he is the beta and he knew that Arya didn’t like him and that feeling was mutual so he would prefer someone else.
Just as he proceeds to climb up on his horse, he sighted a familiar figure running over and for a moment, he saw Arya in Julia.
“Good morning Alpha King”
Damon slaps himself on the forehead, he was actually thinking about all possibilities of Julia showing up like she’s always been doing regardless of how many times he tells her off.
But everything was really good as no one knew about this.
Soon he left the pack.
Arya woke up feeling torn and alienated from the whole thing that the woman from yesterday has started to do with them today again.
“This selection process isn’t to make you target yourselves but to teach you how to become a Luna” she paused at every stop.
“Eventually, only one out of you will emerge as the winner but clearly, there’ll be mistresses too so today we are going to be talking about how to manage a man who is an Alpha, your King and your lover and how to manage his household” Arya gritted her teeth and rubbed her body at how they were able to come up with such cringey lesson.
Who learns how to manage a man?
Who??
“Are we also allowed to ask questions?” Eloise snapped at Arya for betraying her after she promised not to talk unless asked.
Arya gave her that I’m sorry “ look.
“Yes, only when asked” She almost hissed as that didn’t come as What she wishes to hear.
“ Aren’t you Just trying to becomes center of attention??” One of the lady hummed softly as if only her could hear herself.
“Isn’t that something good, take your chances too!” Arya fired backs
The woman hit the wall angrily what these two ladies were getting at.
Moments after, they were to return to their room to wash up and change them come to the garden.
Some time passed.
“You’re going to wear this again?” Eloise screamed as she almost snatched the dress from her.
“I came here unknowingly, I didn’t even have the time to do so, let’s me just go on” she raised her brows do she’ll let it go.
”Greetings, Miss Arya, your outfit is here”
Arya looked so confused, trying to know if the outfit brought was a uniform that every other lady has it, that’s a problem.
“It was sent by Phoebe,you don’t need to worry about it” a sparkle of joy appeared in her face as she takes the dress from Eloise.
