"Why? Aren't you the slave who agreed to warm my bed?"Delilah was stunned hearing his words.She indeed said to him about the slave thing but at that time she had no other option. He was not letting her enter so she tried to convince him somehow."I-I didn't m-mean that."Everett's dark gaze made her shake from the core."Never make a commitment if you don't mean that." He said and let her go.She immediately moved away from him and sat on the other side. She felt tears in her eyes. She wiped them and was about to get out of bed, but his voice stopped her."Sleep here, in this bed." He turned around and his back was facing her.She lay on the bed and covered herself with the quilt which was arranged on the leg side.She did not know why she said that to him. Now he would treat her like a slave with her.Slave!She did not want to take the tag on her head and saved her chastity by running away from her pack.How did she become a slave now?The night was long but passed as she slept w
"Can I go to Norfolk village to do part-time work?"Looking at his face she could see he was outrageous."In the way of my thinking-""Did I ask you anything?""No, but I want to ask you if I can go.""I don't care." He said with a harsh tone and headed to the couch."Should I take it as yes?" She asked and turned to him."Why do you want to do any work?""I feel bored alone and you also don't stay here all the day so I thought I should earn some money too."He sneered. "What do you think? You came here for vacation?"She shook her head. "Pardon me for this."He stared at her as she turned around and went to the kitchen.She came with two plates.She put them on the table. Everett looked at those plates."It's breakfast time. I know it's late. But I was waiting for your friends to go out. Actually, I only made breakfast only for the two of us. That's why."He looked irritated. "How many times do I have to-"She did not let him finish his sentence. "Please, let's just eat quietly. I am
"Why do you think he is so interested in you that he is following you?"She gasped and moved back.Looking at his eyes, she could see something strange but could not tell what was that."I-Interested?""Hmm. Didn't you just say he is following you? What do you think you are? Someone special?"She understood that he was making fun of her.She felt somehow insulted. "I have never said that. I saw him so I am telling you this."Everett nodded as if he assumed that she was lying to him."How much did you see him?"Delilah remembered that night. She remembered the way that hurricane lamp lost the flames just before she could see him.But those fierce orange eyes! The anger in his eyes made her shiver in her spine. As if he would kill her anytime soon. As if he would eat her alive just like others said.She closed her eyes and rested her head on the headrest of the couch."I can't explain to you what I saw, Ev- Master. I saw his angry eyes. The way he was looking at me, I can't describe to
Delilah wore the dress Everett bought for her. It was a coffee color gown with a very simple design. In that cloth, she looked like an average looking girl.She saw a comb and a few hair bands. 'Did he buy those for me too? Woah!'She was happy. She looked at herself and tied her hair in a high ponytail. She looked like a teenage girl. She went downstairs and saw Everett with Conor."You were at home?" She asked Everett. As usual, he avoided her questions. Conor smiled at her and she smiled back.She went to the kitchen to prepare lunch since Everett was at home and his friend was there too.This time she prepared a meal for three people.She called them to the table.Conor's eyes glittered. "Wow, nice aroma.""Please come and take a seat. Let's have lunch together."Everett glared at her and she ignored his gaze. 'Did I say something wrong?' She thought.Three of them sat at the table and began to have their lunch."Girl, you have magic in your hands." Conor said.Delilah looked a
"The villagers think she seems to have seen the beast""WHAT?"That was Delilah's reaction. A shocking reaction. She looked at the girl. "She saw the beast?" She asked in a whisper.The mother sighed and nodded. She almost cried."My daughter is alive. So all I thank to the moon goddess. I don't want anything else."Delilah patted her shoulder.'Didn't I tell Everett about the beast? He always ignores it. That man! He should have come with me. Then he would believe me.' She thought."Don't worry she will be fine."The woman nodded. "What is your rank?" She asked.Delilah hesitantly replied, "Omega.""Oh.""You?""I am Theta female. My daughter is Beta. She got the rank from her father. He is a beta actually."Delilah got that. In this village, rank mattered a lot. She could see the pride of her rank in the woman's eyes."Where do you live?" The woman asked her."I am living in the middle of the fo-"Delilah immediately paused. She remembered Everett's warning. How could she be so care
"Looks like you're out for a walk, not work."Delilah stared at his furious face. 'Why does he look so infuriated? I was with his friend. Didn't he himself let me go with him?' She thought.His sharp darker eyes gaze at her. Conor cleared his throat. "Accept my apology, Everett. She will be back early from tomorrow, I promise."Everett's eyes never left Delilah.Conor took his leave and went back to his village.Delilah lowered her eyes. She did not know what to say at that moment.Did he tell her to come at a certain time? Did she forget that?Why was he outside? Was he waiting for her? So many questions came to her mind but she did not dare to ask him."Master, I am going to prepare dinner." She said and opened the door to enter. He did not stop her either.---The following days went well. Delilah was able to learn how to help doctors. She memorized medical aid, and which potions were used for what.This village was full of witches. She had never seen witches until she came her
"Who is he?"Delilah felt his hot breath in her right ear. She closed her eyes when she smelled his cologne. It was like addictive to her.His other hand rested on the other side beside her head. Now he caged her with both of his hands.She slowly turned to him but gasped. His naked chest was in front of her face. He was very tall. She did not dare to look up at him."Who is he?" His in-depth voice clutched her heart."W-Who?""The man you ate lunch with. You spent too much time with him, didn't you?"Delilah looked at him. His beautiful yet dangerous eyes were looking into her eyes. "He is my friend.""Friend?" He asked with a frown.'How does he know about Ron? We indeed had our lunches together. But how does he know? Or he guessed at the table at dinner time? No, I can't let him misunderstand me.' She thought."Yes, he is just my friend. We don't have any re-""Does he know where you live? Did you tell him everything?" He glared at her.She left a breath she did not know how muc
"I-I thought he killed y-you."She hid her face in his bare chest. She felt his warm body. How could a man's body still be so warm after coming from such a cold weather like this?She hugged him tightly. He did not hug her back but she did not care.She was so scared that the beast would slay Everett.After a while, she felt a pair of arms wrapped around her back. He hugged her back.She felt like she was in the safest place in the world. Since he came back, she was not afraid of anything now. With him, she felt safe.She kept sobbing. Her nose brushed on his chest and she blushed. She came back to her senses. She moved a little and saw his chest pressing with her face.She felt embarrassed. She tried to move totally but his hands were like made of iron. He did not move his arms a little bit."I am sorry." She said and sobbed again."Why?"His raspy voice gave her chills."For this."She was talking about the hug. His chest was soaked with her tears. She talked about that too.When
