The Lost Heiress

Chapter 4

The first night

POV Samuel

We were there, outside the room, waiting for my Angel to agree that we should come back to her. She seemed so fragile and frightened.

Alan: We're going to take care of her now.

Sam: Yes, we'll take care of her.

Zach interrupted my discussion with my wolf.

Zach: We'll have to take it easy with her. Avery just told me she doesn't have her wolf yet, so she's young.

She thought we were going to throw her out of the pack or put her in a dungeon to torture her because you told her not to call us Alpha.

Caleb: How old is she?

Zach: Avery doesn't know. Come, we can come in.

We entered slowly, and my Angel had his eyes closed. But as if she had sensed us, she opened her eyes and looked at us.

Avery: I'll let you talk, I'll come back to see you tomorrow sweetheart

I swallowed my saliva with difficulty and felt the nervousness rise in me. It was after my words that she had believed that she was not wanted.

Sam: My Angel, I'm sorry you thought you were going to be chased away or locked up

Cassy: Avery explained it to me, it's okay...

Sam: Can I get closer?

She nodded to me.

Cassy: That's too fast... I...

Caleb: You don't have to explain yourself, my love, we'll go at your own pace.

Zach: Do you know how old you are?

Again, she made a sign that she did not

Zach: It's okay little Luna. We're going to take advantage of the time to get to know each other. What do you think?

Cassy: Okay

She sighed softly and said in a timid voice.

Cassy: Thank you, Zach, for showing me that... the food was safe...

Zach: You're welcome, my Luna, but tell me, how do you differentiate us?

Cassy: I don't know. For me, it's obvious.

Caleb: What happened to you, my Love?

Cassy: I'm going to... try to... tell you about it.

My brothers and I went to sit on the couch and waited

Cassy: I'm from the Bloody Pack...

I barely held back a growl at this mansion.

Cassy: I was tor... Tor... Tortured. The day I arrived here, they wanted... They wanted to rape me in a pack and kill me...

I saw my brothers' knuckles turn white and noticed that I, too, had clenched fists.

Cassy: I don't know... how I got away... but I had discovered... that they were drugging my food... it was... Two days later... I hadn't eaten when... I thought.... Faint

SAM: My Angel, you're safe now. I would so much like to hug you to comfort you...

Tears ran freely down her cheeks and I felt my heart break to see her like this. She gasped and I added

Sam: But don't worry, you're not ready, so we'll wait

She gave me a thin smile and I felt my heart lighten.

Cassy: Thank you... He fears you... Alpha Blake, he's afraid of you....

Caleb: He's right to be scared Love, we've been watching his activities since Avery landed here.

Zach: My Luna, so that you get used to us, we're going to take turns at your bedside. That way only one of us at a time will be there, okay?

She nodded to him as she did and seemed relieved to have only one of the brothers at a time.

Caleb: Tonight, it's Zach staying with you, tomorrow it's Sam and next night it's me, so good night, Love

Sam: Good night my Angel

So, Caleb and I left the room.

POV Cassy

Caleb and Sam had walked out of the room, leaving me alone with Zach. I was happy that he was the first to stay one-on-one with me. I had, in spite of myself, begun to trust him.

I looked at him in order to familiarize myself with his physique. He had magnificent black hair that fell to the nape of his neck, deep blue eyes, a pronounced and straight nose, a high and proud forehead garnished with two well-defined eyebrows. A small scar adorned his chin while, with his brothers, they were elsewhere. Sam had his on his right brow bone and Caleb on the left.

Zach watched me in silence, waiting for me to finish my exam with a smile. Then I remembered the feeling of his arms under my body when he carried me. I felt good, safe. It was the first time I was in someone's arms, but I wanted to feel that way again.

Cassy: Is that...

Zach: What do you want, my Luna?

Cassy: Just for you to hug me a little bit

I had spoken almost in a whisper, embarrassed by my request

Zach: Look at me, my Luna

I raised my head gently.

Zach: If you want me to stop or walk away, just say ok?

He gently approached me and sat on the side of the bed. He opened his arms and gently held me close to him. I was sitting on top of him, my head on his broad chest. He held me gently close to him. He placed a kiss on my forehead and I had the impression that this gesture was natural. I felt good in his arms, safe. I had never felt like this.

I must have fallen asleep, because when I opened my eyes, I was lying in bed and Zach was sleeping on the couch. I smiled and moved that he had put me back in bed without trying anything else.

Someone knocked softly on the door and Zach woke up to go answer. He retrieved the tray that the nurse was handing him and gently closed the door before facing me.

Zach: You're awake, well, you must be hungry?

I nodded to him and I did. He walked over and set the tray on the small table next to the bed. Then he sat down facing me, sliding the table between us. There were two plates topped with a scrambled egg, toast, bacon, and fruit

Zach: Do you want me to taste your things first?

I smiled at him.

Cassy: I trust you

I took a piece of fruit and began to eat slowly. We were finishing our meal when another knock was knocked at the door. Zach winked at me and walked away from the couch with his plate before telling his brothers they could come in.

Sam: Good morning my Angel

Caleb: Slept well my Love

Cassy: Hello boys

Caleb: I know it's not my turn, but I wanted to wish you a good day

Cassy: That's nice of you. Have a good day too.

Zach: Have a good day, Luna

Cassy: Have a good day Zach
