The Lost Heiress

Chapter 2

The door opened, letting out Dr. Roselyne. She froze when she saw us before bowing her head in respect for us.

Roselyne: My Alphas,

Sam: Hello Roselyne, how is she?

Roselyne: She suffers from malnutrition and dehydration. She has severe vitamin and mineral deficiency. I had her install solutes to compensate for the lack...

Caleb: Will she make it?

Roselyne blinked, surprised by the question, and said:

Roselyne: Of course, at least physically, after a good rest and a better feeding

Zach: What do you mean by at least physically?

Roselyne: Well, this young woman seems to have experienced a lot of mistreatments, she may have some trauma...

Sam: Was she raped doctor?

I saw Roselyne stiffen and lower her head.

Rosalyne: No Alpha, this may be the only thing that wasn't done to him. The poor child...

Zach: Can we go see her?

Roselyne: She's sleeping, but yes, she might be scared if she wakes up with the three of you in the bedroom

I looked at my brothers, as I did. They were nervous and wanted to see our partner. No matter what the obstacle, we're going to get through it. I put my hand on the door handle and turned it gently. We entered the bedroom and looked at the young woman on the bed. Her features were hollow, her skin was pale, her hair was dark from the humidity, probably Roselyne had bathed it before treating her. But despite everything, I felt my breath fail me in front of her beauty. We walked over to her and stopped at the foot of her bed. There was, at the side, a long couch that would allow us to sit far enough away, in my opinion, to prevent her from panicking when she saw us.

I looked at my brothers and smiled. Sam and Caleb had approached her and were leaning over to kiss her forehead.

Sam: You're safe, Angel

Caleb: You have nothing more to fear, my love

So, I followed the movement and kissed him on the forehead.

Zach: We'll take care of you, little Luna

We then sat down and talked slowly among ourselves.

POV Cassandra

I was lying on the bed. Well, had I dreamed everything? Was the miracle I had believed in just a hallucination of my unbridled brain? But at the same time, I didn't have a bed in my cell. There, decidedly, a comfortable bed was under me, soft and cool sheets covered me, there were constant beeps in the room. I felt my heart racing and the beeps went on at an increased pace. So, the beep went to the rhythm of my heart.

"My angel, are you awake?"

My heart sank even more, a man was in the room, and then I heard muttering

"You shouldn't have spoken, Sam, she's freaking out now.

- Caleb, Sam shut up at the end

What?

There were three men in the room, one named Caleb, one Sam and the third one whose name I didn't know. Their voices were almost identical, but not quite. The stranger's contained power, Sam's was more playful and Caleb's more languorous. But knowing that three strangers were in the same room as me made me panic. I opened my eyes and tried to get out of bed, but I found myself on the floor, so with the help of my legs, I pushed myself against the wall and brought my knees close to me, squeezing them with my arms. I was shaking my whole being when I put my forehead on my knees. I felt the men move, but I didn't dare look. I was too afraid to find out they were on me. I heard a sigh and then the sound of three people sitting on the floor. I looked up fearfully to see what they were doing. The three of them were sitting and looking at me. One of them spoke softly

"My name is Zachary, but you can call me Zach. He's Samuel

He showed me the almost identical copy on his right and continued by pointing to the one on the left.

"And he's Caleb." What's your name?

I swallowed painfully and continued to look at them.

Zach: You're safe now, no one is going to hurt you

I saw his eyes cloud, a sign that he was communicating with someone.

Zach: Since you don't feel ready to tell us your name, maybe you're hungry?

I looked at him with tears in my eyes. I was hungry, but I refused to eat something that would drug me. Someone knocked on the door, startling me. I saw Samuel get up and go to open the door to take the meal tray. He returned to his seat and sat down, sliding the tray towards me. My stomach was crying out for food, but I refused to eat.

Zach looked at me, frowning. Then, I saw a click in his eyes. He pulled the tray towards him and took the bottle of juice and opened it before taking a sip. He closed it and placed it on the tray. He then lifted the cutlery onto the plate and took a bite of each food item on the plate before putting the cutlery back on and pushing the tray back towards me.

Zach: You see sweetie, there's nothing in the food, you can eat without fear.

I reached for the juice bottle, trembling, and gently drank the contents. I then took the plate and ate slowly. I knew that if I ate fast my stomach would reject the food.

Caleb: That's good Love, eat slowly. I asked our Beta's partner to bring her some clothes.

I stiffened and looked at them apprehensively.

Zach sighed as he looked at his two brothers.

Zach: We are the Alphas of the Last Crescent pack, this is where you are. Our Beta, Jake, is the one who found you at the edge of the border.

I felt tears beading at the corners of my eyes, but I blinked to contain them. The Last Crescent pack was the Royal pack, but mostly the pack that Alpha Blake wanted to destroy.
