1 nodded and said nothing. Thave been ignoring him since he came into my mom, there was nothing positive about bring prisoned
Ha boch of a funere came along, openly glaring at me like I was the mor of her problem. I didn’t errentain and kept mute.
“Thanks,“I and polarly
Millicent scoffed and folded her arm, the least you can do is look positive. He would have killed you, you know
I will try to remember that.” I deadpanard
She glared even harder hut suddenly smirked at me. “You have no powers here and you are no princess here. You are an omega by default, the daughter of a murderer. The Alpha was pretty lenient to you. You will be cleaning and cooking till everywhere is sparkling. Do you understand.”
I nodded. “Of course, I will be delighted with cooking your food,”
Her eyes narrowed and the Alpha laughed a little surprising m | turned away when our eyes men
| Millicent buffed, “Don’t be sarcastic, if anything happens to me then you will pay for it. ”
“I suppose that’s the ease but what if something happens to me, will you be held responsible??
When she didnt answer. I shook my head. “That’s what I thought.”
I walked into the room and shut the door in their faces. I grinned when I heard her yelling at Aragon about manners but I was s’ready laying down on the hed
Thad nothing with me here, not even clothes and hoped I would be allowed to get something to wear
His beta looked like the type to cater to those things. Leuld talk to him freely though I don’t trust him yer. He had a trusting loyalty to his Alpha, the man who I hated more than anything in the world.
1 looked up when someone knocked “come in”
Marcel walked in with a smile on his face, “How are you settling in
He nodded. “Good, I am not here to give you a speech but you should make the most of your time here. It is not what you wanted but I hope you can understand that.”

“I will never understand it but I am not stupid enough to try som
something while I am in here. Funderstand he wants ha why tam calm
““Okay. Avond Millicent while you are here, I would prefer you don’t cross paths with her because she will do everything she can to make you
unnuenfortable and that in the last thing I want.”
Tuded him, his brows were furrowed and his furchead crinkled. He wasnt saya
You don’t like her! Shocker.”
He chucked. Tam sure you know why I dont. Is there anything you wanted?”
this jout for saying sake. He meant it.
“Yes,” Luid before I could stop myself. “I need clothes. Tam not trying to impose or anything.” –
“Sapphire, it’s okay, I will let the Alpha know,”
“No!” I yelled, be raised a brow at me and I smiled bashfully.
“I dont want to spend time with him and I am sure he is busy. He has no time for me,”
“You should be an exception.” he pointed out
I shook my head. “I am not and I don’t want to be. I want to shop for clothes or am Texpected to be treated like our of the slaves in this pack without
a care in the world!”
“No, that’s not what I meant,”
It’s okay, however you meant it already told you that I want nothing to do with him. I don’t want to spend time with him either.”
“Okay, we would make arrangements for you to get some clothes soon,”
“Thank you.”
“Talk later,” he said before he left.
Thunched my shoulders and shook my head, I was so good in acting like I was strong but I did it regardles
Had nadra why her felt the need to bring the future Lanalare. To gloat my face? I didn’t care if they strutted around naked and her constantly smiling and touching him to stake her claim.
Chapter 13.
I didn’t want him. I resisted the urge to remind her that she had all of those things because Echose not to pursue him, she wasnt ready for that
1 sat on the bed and opened the book the marse gave me last night, getting lost in its pages. A knock on the door pilled me back to relay. I sighed, closing the book gently, and called out “Come in ”
A young womtuan entered, her face lighting up with a shy smile. She cared a bag of clothes, which she set on the bed before turning to me. “Hi, Im Lesh,” the und her grin widening Tim Marcels mate
The tensions that had been ended tightly within me began to ease. I returned her smile. “Nice to meet you, Leah”
She gave me a quick hug and fel a sense of warmth and relict. “Well be great friends, I know it,” she said confidently. “I brought you some clothes. To wear until you figure things out.”
“Thank you” I replied, grateful for her kindness
Leah glanced at the book in my hand. “What are you re
“It’s a novel.” I uid, showing her the cover.
a reading **
Her eyes sparkled Tlove reading novels? You should check out my library sometime
Td appreciate that,” I sad, genuinely touched by her offer
She sat down beside me, her unsify piqued. “Are you done with school?!
Twa bomachooled“texplained. “That I’m in my third year of college!
Leah’s face it up with enthusiasm. Til talk to the Alpha about letting you connue your nudies here. We could go together.”
That would be amazing.” I said, feeling a glimmer of hope I would really help me get my bearings.
Thesitated for a moment before asking. “Why are you helping met
Leah didnt seem offended by my question. Instead, she smiled warmly. “We girls need to stick together
“You’re right.” I said softly. “Thank you.”
Leah’s smile broadened, and she gave my hand a reassuring squeeze. “Anytime. Now let’s get you settled.”
Argon’s pov
Hearing her say all those things about not wanting to be near me passed me off and I was even more pissed off about her confiding in Marvel
When did he become her friend and why am I the one singled out? Thared that he seemed to get her trust easily while I was in the dog house.
I scoffed. I didn’t want to care but this girl has obviously written me off as her mate, the mere sight of use has her looking distasteful.
Ibrought Millicent to get ar
i arise out of her but the didnt react. She nodded robotically and amaled politely probably to get us out of her hair. Millicent kept touching me trying to stake a claim that she didn’t have.
I was so fumous that I stapped at her to stop it because my plan had backfired
Irubbed my temple as Marcel stepped ince the office, he smiled. “Leah brought her some daibe.”
“Opy.” I said a little too short.
He rolled his eyes. “I don’t know why you are sulking, she is basically treating you like you said she should. You are not her mate, remember?”
A growd tore through my lips at that and he chuckled, “Getting territorial yet you have a fiancee I swear, if you weren’t my Alpha and my best friend. I would kick your ass
“Why are you so protective of her anyway?” 1 asked him
“I have a sister, and a mate that Ladore. Besides, the poor girl has been through a lot. Tam sure your hatred means nothing to her but at least be a `decent human being. Putting her in a position where she has to serve the woman who took her mate away from her is cruel”
“You are becoming soft. Father she works or she goes to the dungeon
“see what I am talking about? You are making her hate you more.”
“Inever wanted ber to like me,”
“Then why were you jealous because she was telling me things? You are not as slick as you are, Alpha I knew you were listering.”
Trolled my eyes. “Whatever, let’s end this.”
