DAMON
A Whole day has passed but we couldn’t even get a single sign or anything trace that this is where she was.
I will not forgive anyone who knew about how she was able to escape a place like my pack.
It is impossible!
No matter how strong headed she can be, she wouldn’t even be able to say a word to soldiers guarding the frontier.
“I’ll not see anyone!” I yelled as my thoughts were disrupted by the guard who was trying to announce someone’s arrival.
Argh!
I growled in frustration whilst throwing the stool angrily towards the window.
Extremely frustrated to the point that I am beginning to lose it,
Who knew I, Damon!, the one and only Alpha King of the ash band pack will be so much affected by a weak human girl?
“Come on in” I gave my orders when I heard Phoebe’s voice.
“Alpha King, one of the maids confessed that..”
She paused and that was because an uninvited guest welcomed herself in my chambers.
“Phoebe, I have something to tell you” Julia said softly as she urges her to come out.
When did this start?
“Have you lost your respect along with your sane?” I screamed!
“I am standing here, hearing from her and you dared to barge into my room without greetings and now you want her with you?”
“Don’t tell me she has something to do with what is going on?” I turned to Phoebe, staring up and down at her because I’ll not believe until she says “yes”
The looks on their faces, said a lot.
“A maid from the maid quarters confessed that she saw Arya with My lady and her maids, she was tortured and was then thrown into the forest!” I fisted my hands, enraged and furious.
Obviously ready to suck her dry as she was already shrinking to the floor.
“Did you do this out of your love or jealousy?” I asked, a grin appearing on my face as I walked closer to her.
“She stole the necklace you gifted me and I didn’t know you’ll care so much about a stranger you brought from nowhere to pleasure you!”
“Shut the f**k up!” I was a step closer to slapping her but I was able to refrain myself.
I’ll get back to this, we need to find her first.
“Your case will be attended to once I’m back and if anything should happen to that maid, count yourself as good as gone!” I warned and went back to my dressing room to change my regalia.
I left the pack with few guards and I made sure to keep it low even though I’m not scared of anyone’s knowing that I’m all out to search for a woman.
But it’ll seriously affect me if they get to know that she is a human.
“Injured, beaten and tortured, where could she probable be?“
I wanted to talk to my wolf but he hasn’t seen his mate which is slowly starting to affect him.
i can’t smell her.
She is not here.
“We cannot find any trace here, Alpha King” the guards said to me after ransacking the whole forest.
Which brings me to believe that there is only one place she’d be at.
And that is…
Her home, whatever made her come to a conclusion that she’s return home would be nothing other than to see her mother.
She knew her father might definitely send a message to Damon so he wouldn’t get implicated but she would not let that happen.
“I did not offer to get treated, I’ll not offer to get taken in exchange either!” She feeds her self these words.
Thinking about how to coerce her sister and make her believe that the place is similar to paradise and by that, she’d instantly say yes and go in her stead.
Then she’d continue to live happily with her mother,
She had everything all planned.
Arya made a stop at the Artemis river to check how she looks from the water reflection only for memories of the other day to flash by her.
She was enjoying the flashback whilst feeling her legs tightened at the thoughts of it only for her to think ahead of the box.
That she pulled the mask off the man’s face and it turned out to be the beast.
“God forbid!” Arya screamed whilst burying her head in the water.
She must have been so foolish to have such a ridiculous thought.
She made her move and proceeded to the village, it was very early in the morning which means the security at the gate would be less secured.
She was able to walk through the gate without any problem and she was just on her way to her mothers hut when a familiar voice called her.
“Arya?” Iris, her stepsister called,
She was looking like someone who has never experienced being sick, the perks of having someone to pay for your sins.
“It is her, I can’t be wrong!” Iris mumbled and stood in the same spot.
Arya on the other hand ran over to give her a hug but was shocked at the instant disgust thrown at her.
“I hope you are not dreaming?” Iris cackled with her maids.
“Iris, it’s me, your sister, I have..”
“Stop, why are you here?, do you still think you are my father’s daughter?”
Iris laughed hysterically
“No, you’re a s*x slave to the beast!, I believe you must be pregnant for the beast already” Arya’s eyes and ears fails to believe that it was her sister who was talking.
“I.., I don’t want to..”
“Do you think I would’ve been so close to you if I wasn’t sick?, it was because you were the only one who was willing to be with me but look at me now” she smiled whilst flaunting boldly.
“I am better than ever and you are the last person I would ever want to be with!”
“You’d better leave before father sees you around or you’ll have a story to tell in the grave” everything was hitting her badly.
She didn’t know how to react or respond.
Her eyes blinked with fear and her body trembled, the way her sister, whom she used to value so much treated her like a worthless human being made her believe that people do change.
Either for good, or for bad, but this was worse.
“I won’t argue with you, you are probably like this because you just woke up…” she stuttered.
“I’ll have to visit my mother first and then come back to your room to…” they all bursted into laughter before she could even complete her sentence.
“Who will tell her?” Iris asked mockingly.
“That what?” She asked impatiently.
“That your mother died the very day you left this village”
