Chapter 11 EVE . After dinner , I practically bolted back to my room the second it was polite enough to do so . I just mumbled something about being tired and slipped away . Saint had left not long after he arrived . He didn't say goodbye . Not that I expected him to . He just stood , placed his napkin beside his plate , and walked out like the rest of us weren't even there . Let him stay gone , please . The moment I shut my door , I exhaled for what felt like the first time in hours . My hands trembled slightly as I pulled off my clothes and slipped into the soft pink nightie I'd picked earlier . I tied my hair into a bun and let my bare feet sink into the rug as I moved to sit on the bed . Just a few hours in this place and I already felt like a caged animal . It was as if the walls were also watching me . But at least the day was over . At least I could finally sleep . Tomorrow will be Sunday . So , first thing in the morning , I'll talk to Mum about not staying in this pack . Besides , one of my strong reasons would be the fact that she and my new Dad would be touring the world for their honeymoon and would be away for some weeks . I'll tell her I couldn't stay here without her . Perfect . I had barely pulled the covers back when I heard a knock at the door . I froze instantly . My heart leaped into my throat . I didn't even move for a second , like if I stayed quiet enough , whoever it was would go away. The knock came again . But it was softer this time , so I forced my legs to move and walked to the door . 1/3 7:23 Sun , Sep 21 Chapter 11 Thankfully , it wasn't Saint- why would I even think he was the one ? Stupid me . It was a maid who was smiling too wide . " Good evening , Miss Eve , " she said sweetly , holding out a glass . " Alpha said you've had a stressful day . This'll help you sleep better . " " Oh , " I said , blinking at the milk . " Thank you ... " She curtsied and turned to leave . I watched her go for a beat , then shut the door quietly behind me . Oh . Wait . I hadn't even asked her which Alpha she was referring to . But ... it wouldn't be Saint . He didn't give a damn about how tired I'd be to the point of sending milk to me . I was filth to him . So , it was most definitely my stepfather . I looked at the glass for a second and shrugged before downing the whole milk in one go . It was warm , sweet , and comforting in the weirdest way , like it was hugging my throat as it slid down . I placed the empty glass on the side table and climbed into bed . Finally . Finally , I could check my phone , maybe call Tamara . I needed her . I needed to vent . I barely unlocked the screen when a wave of dizziness slammed into me like a truck . My fingers slipped from the phone . My entire body suddenly felt like it weighed a thousand pounds . I blinked hard , trying to keep my eyes open , but it was like my lashes were glued shut . My heart pounded , and I tried to sit up , but I couldn't even feel my arms anymore . What the hell ... My brain screamed at me to get up . But my body wasn't listening . Sleep dragged me under , and it felt so violent and unnatural . And then ... I suddenly snapped my eyes open with every strength I could muster . 2/3 Chapter 11 And I froze instantly . The room was dimly lit , strange , and cold . The atmosphere felt sterile and depressingly heavy . And worst of all , when I tried to move , I couldn't . My arms were tied to either side of the bed . My legs were spread and restrained . This ... this wasn't my room . This was ... somewhere else . This wasn't the soft pink nightlight glow I'd left on . This wasn't the baby pink bedsheets I had lain on . This was ... more ... masculine ? I blinked fast , trying to adjust to the dim light of the room , when I saw a figure standing right in front of me at the foot of the bed with his arms crossed . Essecting me like I wasn't a person . It felt like I was a problem he had already already cleaned up in his head and was now deciding how best to discard . " I was starting to wonder how long you'd fight it . " His gaze dragged over me , " Guess now we can finally talk . " " No ... please ... " I whimpered , tugging at the restraints . " It's a pleasure to officially meet you again , stepsister . Welcome to my world . " He said , and for the first time , I saw him smirk . And it didn't look good . Chapter Comments LIKE Write Comments SHARE Discover our latest featured short drama reel.
