~Aurora~
"Aurora?" Rachel, who accompanied me to the room, acted surprised
"This is a disgrace! How can you be the mate of the Alpha of Titanium Moon pack and still be shooting your shots on my son?" The Luna said, looking upset. I turned to Alpha Liam, who kept a straight face.
I lowered my gaze, wondering what could be going on in his mind
I turned to Alpha Desmond who smirked, "Aurora, I never thought you could scope so low to dress like this to seduce me." His voice made my skin burn.
I parted my lips to speak, but Rachel immediately shut me up. "My Gosh Aurora! Have you always eyed my brother… or maybe you wouldn't have gone to seduce him if you had a wolf to feel the mate bond with Alpha Liam"
I slowly gazed up to face Liam, who turned and left the premises, leaving me alone with Alpha Desmond, his sister, and their mother. Hot tears streamed down my cheeks as I fell to my knees and gazed at my palm.
"Servant girl! You're so pathetic, I can't believe you thought Alpha Liam would accept you," Rachel bent down and whispered to me.
"Don't just sit there! Come with me!" I heard someone say from the door. I raised my head, only for my eyes to fall on Alpha Liam. He came back.
"Me… me…" I stuttered, confused, with tears still flowing down my cheeks
I managed to get to my feet but suddenly, I felt a strong hold on my hand, "She's staying here…" Alpha Desmond paused and quickly let go of my hand so that he wouldn't look awkward
"Alpha Liam, you're now like a brother to me and I'll tell you this for free! No commoner should be let into power, let alone the person in question is a slave with no wolf." He looked down on me but I was too timid to even gaze into his eyes.
The hatred I had for him increased instantly.
"Let her be, who I make my Luna is none of your business," He said sternly, staring straight into Alpha Desmond's eyes
Not wanting to vex Liam, Desmond forced a smile on his face and said,
"Of course" I couldn't bring myself to gaze at any of their faces, with my gaze on the ground, I walked towards the door where Alpha Liam stood and he held me by my hand before walking towards his room just a few steps from the room Rachel lured me too, lying that it was Alpha Liam's room
He stepped into the room, and he let go of my hand before closing the door behind us.
"Did you injure when he pushed you to the bed?" Alpha Liam asked, causing me to be taken aback. He noticed that I was confused, so he added, "I know he pushed you to the bed because of the way we came to see you guys…" I blinked my eyes for a few minutes before parting my lips to speak but I couldn't, I couldn't find the right words to say
"Are you injured?" he asked again
"No, I'm fine" He took my hand again, examining it before gazing down at my legs, causing me to swallow hard because of how revealing the dress I was wearing was.
"Are you sure?" He asked and brought his hand to my face to tuck the strand of hair that fell on my face behind my ear.
Knock! Knock.
The gentle knock on the door caught our attention. I was startled at first, but then I sat upright and let out a long sigh.
Alpha Liam walked towards the door and opened it, revealing Beta Leo by the door.
"I'm busy now Leo, come back later" Alpha Liam instructed but Leo didn't move, instead he said,
"This is urgent Alpha, it's about your mate, I think they might be a problem!" Beta Leo's words hit my chest hard.
"I should probably leave now," I mumbled as I stood from the bed and walked out of the room, nervous and scared.
As I walked through the hallway, I kept dragging the very short dress down any time I was about to make a turn, hoping that I wouldn't see any royals.
"What was I thinking? Even if Alpha Liam chooses to be my mate, the elders of his pack might not support his decision," I whispered. I chose to be candid with myself for once at least and stop dreaming and fantasizing.
I got to the servant quarters and the senior servants gazed at me, looking disgusted, and the young servants couldn't stop murmuring to themselves
"How did she get that dress she's wearing?"
"I'm sure she stole it from Princess Rachel to seduce the Alpha"
"She thinks she can spread her legs out of these quarters. She'll remain a wolf-less slave until she dies. Even Alpha Liam will reject her. She's a nobody!"
I couldn't stand their words, and in pain, I ran down the hall until I got to the room I shared with five other servants like me. Inside the room, Mirabel was sitting on the bed with the nylon I packed a few clothes into.
"Were you planning to run?" Mirabel asked sternly, but I ignored her
"Tell me! Aurora, did you plan to run away" I swallowed hard before nodding my head.
"Yes," I responded. She quickly stood from the shabby wooden bed where she sat and hurried to me,
Feeling confused, I parted my lips to speak but suddenly, she pulled me in for a hug and patted my back gently, "I'll help you, these people ain't saying good things about you, Rachel can go to any length for her to be mated to Alpha Liam" Mirabel muttered. I nodded my head and pulled away from her embrace.
"We have to hurry," I said and quickly took off the clothes I was wearing. I changed into a brown knee-length dress, took the big black nylon filled with a few dresses, and walked towards the door
"I'm sure the servants are eating in the kitchen now so you can sneak out and pass the back door out. I'll watch out for you!" Mirabel said as she slowly opened the door of the room for us to walk out.
I placed my hand on her shoulder and parted my lips to speak, "Mirabel, thank you!" She smiled at me and said,
"It's fine. You should start going!" I shook my head and walked out of the room, careful not to be seen by anyone.
As I tiptoed through the hall, I could hear their laughter and chatting from the kitchen, but I paid no attention to it.
I got to the back door, and luckily there was no guard near. I quickly hastened my steps to the fence.
I suddenly made a stop to look back at the pack house before jumping the stairs and running towards the bushes but suddenly I heard a gunshot, followed by voices, "She escaped! That way!"
"Shit!"
