Chapter 18
Sapphire
I got up early the next day per orders to make breakfast. Leah had brought an omega specifically to show me around, while I appreciated it, I still wished I didn’t have to be a damn slave in his pack hour
Kalready had my apron on the pancakes I made were already stacked and prepped. There was coffee and also baron with grits.
1took my share and headed back to my room, the time for breakfast was communicated to me so Eliad two minites to escape.
I shut the door to my room and started eating. I read a book till I was done eating
Isilently wished the Alpha would agree for me to attend school with Leah while I stayed here. I would do me good to get out of the house and get
to kw other
11 was the one thing I wished for while staying with my father that I didn’t get. He thought locking me inside would protect me.
Now that I thought about it, it wasn’t about protecting me. I think he didn’t want others to find out what he was doing to me. Because he didn’t want his previous image to be destroyed
I shook my head, he was a horrible father and a person. Finding not that he killed Aragon’s parents wasn’t a surprise and he deserved his death.
I tensed when 1 heard the heavy footsteps and wondered who it was coming into my room. A short knock came on the door before I composed Jmyself.
It opened and the Alpha stepped invide, I kept my head bowed slightly to avoid eye contio.
“Why aren’t you eating with the rest?” he asked.
My head shot up in surprise, “Oh, I am sorry. I had no idea I was to eat with the rest?
He rolled his eyes. “Yes, you are meant to.
I nodded quickly and looked pointedly at my empty plate, if I was done eating then surely there was no need to eat with them still.
“Ce roing,” he said:
I stood and started heading towards him. I passed him when he stopped me.
“Have you.” he scratched the back of his neck. “Have you had a hard time since you slept here?” he asked
looked at him was be serious Wasn’t that a hat sensitive to ask siner he was the one who kept me here!
“Are you asking me if someone has bothered me since?
He nodded and I chuckled, except there was no humor
“Isee, you are trying in act like you care after you put me in this position isn’t that a a bit callous of you“”
He gruned hos reech and looked away, ‘Careful”
“Please refrain from asking me how I am doing in this prison you kept me. I would rather you don’t talk to me at all, after all, we have nothing to
discal Excuse tõe”
I walked away before I said more. I was so mad at him, acting like he cared when we both knew he hated in
I was so angry that I didn’t notice that the conversation had stopped in the dining and all eyes were on me. I looked up and sighed.
Of course, everyone would be gathered here.
I could see the disdaan on their faces as they glared at me, the only friendly faces I saw were Marcel and Leah who smiled at me and beckoned me
over
“Hello,” I said loudly so everyone would hear me.
They might hate me for being the daughter of a murderer but I wasn’t going to give them one more reason.
Some of the conversation resumed as I sat beside Leah. “Tiry.”
“Have you already eaten?” she asked when I shook my head to stop her from piling on
“Yes, are upstairs.” I sand

I was aware of Aragon coming in
gan but I paid no attention to him, someone else was more in
“Why You felt like you were too good to eat with the rest of us!” one girl asked,
She was seated beside Millicent who was glaring at me, I figured she was one of those loyal friends who would hare you on sight for daring to cross

“No, I thought it would be awkward to be here since I know some of you don’t want me here.”
“Then why are you till here! Arr e you a glutton for punishunern?” the girl asked.
“Ohwad Desh admonished her
She stared at me head on, expecting me to cower, but I wasn’t weak and I wouldn’t want someone like her to win over me.

they are in a position of power. Disgusting.
Humilded sweetly at her, “Olivia, is it” I don’t know why I am here, why dont we ack your Alpha since he was insistent on me being here despite my
“Sapphire,” Millicent frowned,
Tout my glance to her once Oliva flushed. “Now you want to talk? you didn’t look interested when your crony was on my cair”
“That’s enough!” Aragon growled
1 warly kept my mouth shut but not before giving the girls a sweet smile that was anything but sweet. Millicent glared at me, her eyes portrayed the hatred she had for me and I wondered if it was just herause she thought of me as her rival ne u was just something else.
wasn’t keen on finding out but I had no problems with her unless she kept coming for me with her worshippers
The rest of the table looked or in amusement, at least they were not glaring at me anymore. I put my head down and counted the time till I would pr our of there and back to my mom
“I don’t know why the help is eating with us, isn’t she supposed to be waiting on us! Millicent asked
I chuckled but said nothing. I wouldn’t give her the fight she was craving for I was going to develop a thick skin if I wanted to let most of their words fall off my back
“She is a temporary member of thin fack so she would eat with the rest of us Marcel sand
“n’t she the daughter of the Alpha whn killed our former Alpha!” our of them asked
1 didn’t show any reactions to that. I knew they would bring it up but any insub to my father wasnt something I rearted to.
My father was a bad man to me and anyone around him, it wasn’t a surprise to hear he killed someone or killed a lot of people. He was wicked and I had to live with him every day, fearing for my life and wishing for death to come because running was out of it. Lined it and almost lost my life
because of it
| was a world of my own, the very day Iined to escape. I had everything planned out, from the expensive things I had that I would sell to get money to some necessities like food, blanket and a torchlight, I was more than ready in my duffel bag. I know this because Thad laced the guard’s food with sleeping pills carlier when I was led alone in the kitchen
They would be asleep so I would use the opportunity to sneak out. My heart was beating wildly in my chest as I looked left and right, there was nobody in sight
I need lightly to the door and it opened, the guards were sleeping and i smiled. I was going to go through the backdoor of the house where there were no guards and less security.
I heard a creak on the stairs and I froze. I was looking back and heading to the door when I bumped into a hard wal
My body turned to ice when I looked up to see my father staring at me with a mad grin on his Eare,
“Going somewhere, daughter!”
My body immediately started trembling like a leaf, he said nothing. Only to beckon on the guards to lock me inside the dungeon. I stayed there to three days, shivering in the cold and starving. He ordered nobody to bring me food or water because I had defied his orders.
He was cruel.
1 felt Leah nudge me and I looked up, startled. I found everyone watching me and flushed from embarrassment,
“We asked how you feel about your father being labeled a murderer?” Olivia asked
Irbuckled. You mean how I would feel about you calling me the daughter of a murderer” I was satisfied when she flushed a ladle, “You seem to be under the impression that anything you might say to me would have any effect on me. Don’t bother if you are aiming to fight because of your spineless friend. I am a tough cookie and it would take more than side talks to gel to me,”
I stood up and bowed slightly. “Pardon me, Alpla, I am not feeling well and would like to retire to my roo
He said nothing, only stared at me. He wouldn’t get an inkling of how I am feeling if he kept looking at me but I was staming to get pissed.
“Pretentious bitch,” Olivia spat.
“Shut up, Oliva.” Leah scolded her.
I smiled and felt elated when the Alpha nodded. I stared walking to room but I stopped when I heard the Alpha warning them.
“Clivia, allowed you to get that one in bui let it not repeat itself again, she is a guest in this house even though she would be working here. Do you
understand met
Triph
“I dont know why you are defending her, she is not a good person and deserves to meet a fate worse than her father’s. Keeping her here is just pashment because nobody likes her
here,”
“Lathe Alphabere. Millicent. Do not challenge my authority for any reason with your airhead. I guess I should punish you for the stunt you pulled the other day,” he barked.
A laugh bubbled out of me. I was sure it could be heard from there even without sensitive ears.
Chapter 18
“She was eavesdropping” Millicent asked.
Leah snorted and the rest laughed. Satisfied that I had the last word. I headed up to my mom where I would be locked in for the rest of the day..
I would talk to the Alpha later about the school issue, surely he would be as cruel to deny me education when I have barely had any
I shook my head, he has a right to deny me if he wants to
I am a prisoner after all
