She slowly tore away from sleep when she heard familiar voices inside the sitting room. She sat up on her bed before wiping the remaining sleep away from her eyes.
She walked out of her room to the sitting room to see her sister, Kate setting the dinning table.
She slowly pulled herself to meet her sister. Of course Kate must have heard about what happened.
"Kate," Serena mumbled while standing behind her.
"Oh, you are awake. Come and sit down, it's your goodbye dinner. I personally asked my father to be present for you tonight," Kate turned to face her while she spoke.
Serena's eyes landed on the table behind Kate to see dishes of different kind there.
"Is your slave sister awake yet? Oh..there she is," Serena heard her step father's voice. She turned to see him coming out of the kitchen with a tray that contained drinks.
He walked pass her before keeping the tray on the dinning.
"Sit down Serena," Kate ordered with a firm voice. Serena swallowed down the pain in her chest and sat down.
"I thought it could be nice. Making a farewell party for you, not that I'm actually concerned with what happens to you. I'm sure he'll kill you or sell you out in a few days time anyways." Kate said while cutting her steak.
"Hmm, you do love your sister," Serena's step father commented.
Serena kept muted. She kept watching them both as they ate and talked.
"Why on Earth did my mother leave you to meet Serena's father?" Kate asked her father in hope of making Serena feel like a trash.
"Simple. Lolita was stupid. She was blinded. She stupidly left me for an ugly looking monk, claiming he is her fated husband or whatever. I care less now, all I care about is you my darling," Kate's father replied her.
Kate grinned.
"Dad please. She is still my mother but if she hadn't left you then I trust that she'll still be alive and well. If she hadn't left you, she wouldn't have gotten pregnant with her ugly husband and gotten pregnant with a child who killed her at the end. It's soo saddening," Kate cocked an eyebrow saying.
"It's so saddening that the child you brought to life took your own life. I hope mother has learnt her lesson," Kate added.
Serena didn't notice the tears that has been running down her eyes until Kate touched her cheek.
Serena took her own hand to her cheek and wiped her tears.
She then stood up from her sit.
"You haven't touched your dinner, why is that?" Her step father looked up at her in question.
"I think I'll go to my room now. Thanks for the dinner," she mouthed then turned to leave but Kate's voice stopped her.
"Try to stay alive there, at least for a month. We won't be seeing each other anymore and we won't be bonded by anything because you are now a slave and I can't be siblings with a slave," Serena heard Kate say.
She continued her journey to her room. When she got in, she locked herself up before resuming another round of crying section and eventually slept on the cold floor and in an empty stomach.
When she woke up the next morning. She took her bath before checking her phone. She saw a text message from an unknown number. The message stated that she should prepare herself because he'll be coming to pick her up at 7:00am on the dot.
Serena took her eyes up to look at the time.
6:44am.
She took out a pair of oversized matching shirt and trouser before putting them on and just exactly at 7:00am. She heard car hones outside.
She instantly knew that they were here to pick her. Sent by the Alpha King Zed.
She dragged her luggages out of her room and to the front of their apartment to see a black Jeep there with two guards standing around the car.
She kept dragging her luggages out until the two men sighted her. One a werewolf and the other a human.
They took her luggages from her and kept it in the booth.
One opened the back door of the car for her to get in. She turned back to stare at their apartment, to see whether Kate was gonna come out and hug her goodbye or probably apologize for her mean words but nothing.
With tears in her eyes she got into the Jeep. Even in tears it dawned on her that she has never been in a car so expensive before so she took it upon herself to stare round the car as the two men drove her out of her apartment, her home.
After a long ride, they finally entered an estate. They drove for a very long time before reaching a gate that was crowded with men in black.
Serena noted all of them to be humans. When the men realized who they were, they allowed them pass. They arrived a second gate, there the security was much more tighter than the first one.
Again after realizing who they were they allowed them passed. They got to the third gate, Serena noted all the men out there to be werewolves.
After checking and realizing who they were, the wolves allowed them drive in.
After driving for a short while Serena could now see a gigantic building. The building itself isn't just a mansion but a castle.
Serena's mouth patted open in awe. She has never seen such building before, well expect his fashion company but damn, this building looked so much different. Of course it's understandable because it's a castle, a castle where they live.
Serena kept staring out through the window until they arrived the mighty garage where all sorts of cars were parked.
They parked in the garage and Serena didn't waste time before coming down by herself, her predicament temporarily forgotten.
She stood dazed, wowed at the number of expensive glittering cars there. They were all mostly black, well expect for 5 at least.
"Come on," one of the men who brought her urged her as he picked up her luggages.
Serena started following him as he took a turn. They walked away from that gigantic building to a smaller building by the side.
They arrived the door of the building and the guard pressed a button there. Footsteps were heard followed by the opening of the door.
Serena's eyes settled on a aged woman, but a werewolf. She was in her early sixties.
"Oh, is she the one?" The aged woman asked the guard.
"Yes," the guard responded before dropping the luggage on the floor.
"I'll take my leave," the guard added before leaving Serena with the woman. Serena and the woman exchanged glances for a few minutes before the woman spoke up.
"What is your name child?" The aged woman asked.
"It's Serena ma'am. Please forgive my manners, good morning," Serena bowed slightly in greetings. The aged woman smiled.
"Ok, come on in child." The woman urged fully leaving the entrance for her.
Serena bent down, she picked up her luggages before stepping into the building that looks like a semi mansion.
"Welcome, let me show you to your room." The woman said and started heading towards a direction. Serena followed her from behind with her eyes running round the big house.
The sitting room is much more larger than the whole building their apartment was built on.
But then again, it's the King's castle. You can't expect a much lesser result.
Serena kept following the woman silently until they got to a door on the left hand side of the long hallway.
"This will be your room, child. Well, until the King says otherwise." The aged woman pointed out.
"Thank you ma'am," Serena bowed in greeting.
"Oh, there is no need for such respect child. I am only here to do the work assigned to me," the aged woman said through her teeth. Smiles painted her wrinkled face.
Serena nodded in understanding before stepping into the room that is now hers.
"I will have one of the servants show you around after you have rested and of course eaten," the aged woman said while Serena pushed in her luggages.
Then she turned and left. Serena closed the door before turning to face the room again.
A wow escaped her lips.
The room is wonderful. It's more beautiful than she expected. She never thought a mere slave like her could be granted such room to sleep in.
Well, maybe they didn't have a choice. All rooms here must already be beautiful so they couldn't help it but just give me this one, Serena thought and felt happy.
She left her luggages by the door before walking to the bed. She sat on it. She caressed the pillow and the soft feel of the bed. It was wonderful. Even her sister's bed was not as soft and beautiful as this.
The room is well arranged with two sofa's at a side. She can also see the closet door from where she sat, the other door by the side must be the toilet and bathroom door.
Serena kept smiling as she stared around her beautiful room. She suddenly got curious of what the bathroom will look like so she stood up and walked to the door. She opened it and another light gasp escaped her lips.
Indeed the bathroom looked so white, sparking.
Am I really a slave here? Serena wondered still looking around the bathroom.
A light knock came at the door which startled Serena.
"Ye..yes," she answered her heart beat increasing.
"I am here with a message," she heard a male voice say.
"What is it?" She asked still standing in her position.
"You will have to firstly open the door. I am not here to bite," the voice replied her. Serena gulped, not knowing the reason why she feels so terrified hearing that voice.
"Ok," she mumbled but she knows that the guy standing outside the door heard her clearly. She has taken in his scent and has realized that he is a werewolf. A Beta to be precise.
She got to the door and slowly opened it to meet the handsome face of the guy there.
"There is no need for you to fear me. I am not here to bite you, I'm simply here because granny Felicia told me to come," the Beta guy said.
Serena slowly lifted her eyes to stare directly into his.
The guy doesn't look scary at all.
"Ok," she mumbled.
"What do you need?" She asked.
"My name is Isaac and I am also a servant here. We could be friends if you'd learn to stop being scared. I can hear your heart beating faster than anything," the guy, Isaac smirked. It made Serena feel uncomfortable.
"I am here to show you around." Issac added when Serena kept quiet.
"Come on, I really don't have much time. I have things to settle," Isaac beckoned her out.
Serena stepped out of the room and closed the door.
"Don't worry, I'll escort you back here in one piece." Issac chuckled.
"Come," he beckoned again and started walking away. Serena followed him with her eyes fixed on the floor.
She still doesn't understand the reason why she feels so scared of him. Is it because of his position as a Beta?
Or what exactly is it about the guy?
