It's been days, no weeks, since Agnella's last encounter with Draven.
He didn't send for her after she collapsed in his arms that night, and she didn't ask for him either.
She stayed in her room-like-prison thinking about all he said that night.
About how her mother deceived and hid her. She couldn't help but think that Alpha Draven might have spilt some truth.
It was true that she had white hair, her mother could often dry her hair black when she noticed her hair returning to its original colour she would always ask her mother why she always did that, but her mother's only response was, “other kids have black hair, you need black hair to fit in.”
Agnella thought what her mother said to be true, she has never seen another with hair like hers, her hair was as white as snow, and it made her look different.
Entirely different from how she looked. Her hair was her beauty, but her mother could always dye it, even when her mother left on her little trip some months ago, she had Agnella promise to always dye her hair and never let anyone see her real hair.
Was this truly the reason? Did mom do all these deliberately? Agnella couldn't help but wonder.
No one knows about her white hair, so Agnella was able to think about Draven's words.
It was also true that she had lived in hiding for long.
Her mother moved to different locations with her on different occasions, and Agnella never understood the reason.
Was this truly the reason, mama? Is there a truth in whatever that man said?
Agnella breathed out and stood up as she caught a white strand in her hair through the mirror.
She walked to the mirror and stood in front of it as she stared at her hair.
The black colour was washing off, with one more wash the black could be completely gone.
I need a dye, Agnella thought and turned towards the door, but something came to her mind.
Would they agree to give me a dye for my hair? Draven might not agree to this request, since he seems to know my origin.
With a huff, Agnella walked to the bed and waited. It was almost time for lunch to be served.
The maids|servants always come in with lunch at 1:30 pm.
It was 1:28 pm currently. Once it was 1:30 pm, the door opened and two maids walked in with covered dishes.
They placed it on her bed as usual, and as they were arranging it, the door flung open and someone came in.
A she-wolf with a golden brown hair. She looked fierce or maybe angry.
Once the maids saw her, they went on their knees.
The lady walked to Agnella and stood before her, glaring down at her.
“Who are you and why did you barge in like that?” Agnella questioned, surprised by her entrance.
“The two of you should leave us, and also step away from the door. Do not come close.” The brown hair lady ordered, and the two maids scurried away.
Once she heard the door close, she took a step closer to Agnella, then she took her eyes to the dishes placed in front of her.
“So you eat, you do know how to eat.” The brown hair said.
Agnella rose, “I asked who you are, lady-” she couldn't complete her sentence because of the sudden pull in her hair.
Agnella cussed as she felt her scalp burning due to the strong pull.
“My name is Balia, the first she-wolf appointed to be with his highness prince Draven Talon Yandel. I am responsible for his well-being, understood?” Balia pulled harder, not giving Agnella a chance to get a hold of her.
Agnella struggled effortlessly to get away, but she was no match for a she-wolf like Balia. Balia is a born Beta wolf, which is stronger than most she—wolves.
“Now sit!” Balia forced her to sit on the bed, she picked up one of the dishes, the exact one with the sauce, and wasted it on Agnella's face.
Agnella screamed as she felt her eyes and face burning, but she couldn't scream out for long as Balia gagged her mouth.
“Shut the fûck up and listen to me,” Balia groaned as she held Agnella down.
“You. A half wolf. A half human do not belong here. I want you to give the prince the kids he wants from you and then disappear from his life forever.
Agree to his suggestion when next he calls you. You must agree to it or else…” Balia forced her hand into Agnella's mouth, choking her.
“I'll destroy you.” She whispered before finally letting go of Agnella.
Agnella coughed and rose blindly, she was not seeing clearly she needed water to wash her burning eyes.
“Stay down until I leave.” Balia ordered before stepping out of the room.
She found the two maids she sent out standing a few steps away from the door.
She breathed in and out before turning on her heels and leaving.
One of the maids signalled the other one to go meet Agnella, while she turned and left for Draven's office.
She got to his office to meet Vigo, his Beta, and underboss, standing at the door.
“Sir… I need to deliver a message,” the maid announced.
“What message do you bring? The big boss can't be disturbed now, he gave an order.”
“It's about the head - mistress, Balia. Head—mistress Balia visited the human lady, big boss asked us to watch over, and I do not think things went smoothly.” The maid reported.
“Head—mistress?” Vigo asked.
“Yes, sir-"'the maid bowed in response.
As Vigo deliberated on the matter, Draven's office door opened.
“Let her come in,” Vigo heard Draven's command and immediately stepped out for her to get in.
“What did you say happened?” Draven asked, his eyes fixed on a particular picture that hung on the wall.
“I said head—mistress Balia visited the human lady you asked us to watch over, we heard the lady scream out while Balia was in there with her.” The maid reported.
A minute passed and Draven didn't utter a word.
“Vigo!” Draven suddenly called and Vigo rushed in.
“Boss.”
“Make sure Balia is dragged here, I'll need her to explain what exactly she discussed with Agnella.”
Agnella stood in the big dark room, the one she was brought into the first day of the kidnap, the room was a little brighter than the first time.She doesn't exactly know why some Draven's men came in to escort her out after the maids helped in washing the stains head-mistress Balia caused her. She kept standing as the door swing open and the head-mistress was dragged in, yes dragged in. Her whole body except her head and arms stayed on the floor while the men pulled her in. They stopped at the same position they stopped with her last time, turned back and walked to the door and stood there.What is really happening? Agnella couldn't understand.Why was the head-mistress being dragged that way, and why was she allowed to watch this? Agnella couldn't understand a thing. She had concluded in her mind that Alpha Draven was the one who ordered the head-mistress to do what she did.Why is he trying to punish her if he ordered her to do what she did to me?Two other she-wolves were escort
“Get rid of the child and get rid of her afterwards.” The men came back and pulled her up.“No!!” Balia screamed, fighting them off. In a second, she killed two of Draven's men and left their heads rolling on the floor.Agnella stepped back in flight.What the hell just happened? Did she just cut their heads off? Two grown men? How?? Agnella couldn't believe her eyes.She kept watching as their bodies which were standing fell with a thud, but that doesn't seem to bother any other person in the room. More of Draven's men rushed into the big room, and Balia effortlessly beat them. Agnella watched how she took their heads off with her bare hand.She gasped as her skin turned cold, she took her hands to her head to hold it because it seems like her head also started spinning.She slowly went to her knees as she watched the horror before her. It was her first time seeing so much blood.Agnella shut her eyes close so as not to lose her mind, it was clear that her mind couldn't take everyth
Nicia escorted Agnella back to her room, she stood in front of her door and watched as Agnella walked in."It's dangerous and the chances are very low, be careful out there too," Nicia warned her before turning and leaving.Agnella walked to her bed and sat down there.One of the maids that served her came in."Miss, how was the walk?""It was okay, you should bring in my dinner now," Agnella told and the maid bowed before leaving. The maid came back a few minutes later with her dinner.Agnella ate the dinner fast and dismissed the maids."I want to be left alone, I need to sleep, please do not disturb me." Agnella pleaded and the maids left as she instructed.Agnella smiled to herself when the maids left, she looked up at the time which said 7:22 pm, once it is 11:25 pm, she'll set out on her journey. Nicia said that the best time to pass the front door was at 11:30 pm because the guards often reposition at that time.Agnella kept pacing about the room until it was 11:00 pm, she clim
Araceli arrived at the place she lived with her daughter, she opened the front door and stood there because something felt different. The air was much stiffer, she could feel the tension all around her.From the door, she looked into the compound to notice how the flowers in the house looked overgrown, everywhere looked dry and void of life. "Agnella," she called and gasped as she felt something - or someone behind her. Once the smell of the beast hit her nostrils, she realized that the werewolves had come for her, they had found her daughter."Araceli, do not bother fighting us or you will never see your daughter again." She heard that familiar voice say.It's been 300 years or to be precise - 301 years since she heard that voice last. "Then do you expect me to just go with you without putting up a fight?" Araceli replied still backing him."Well, you can try but..." Araceli interrupted by suddenly turning and breathing out fire from her mouth.Vigo being so vigilant avoided the f
Araceli got into the van with some of Alpha Draven's men, once they were all ready to leave Vigo suddenly came out and joined the vehicle."Will you go with us?" Araceli smirked."Yes, I need to, I am afraid that you'll kill my men and escape so I have to be there and watch you getting handed over to his Majesty's men. Boss permitted it.""Oh, that's so nice and faithful of you." Araceli mocked as the man in charge of driving started the vehicle.They drove for hours with no one speaking. Araceli was bonded hands and feet."Can't you at least get rid of the chains holding my feet?" Araceli turned to Vigo and questioned."I am afraid I can not.""Why? Are you scared?"Vigo scoffed and looked away, not replying to Araceli's question."Oh, you are scared. I can see that child.""Stop! Don't call me a child, I am not a child." Vigo snapped.Araceli huffed and looked away."You have grown quite scary, you used to be soft." She muttered but Vigo didn't utter a word.On the third day of thei
Agnella kept staring at Nicia as she talked with a huge smile on her face, it made her wonder if Nicia was truly happy talking about this when she was his fourth mistress. "You need to gain more control, you need to get closer to him to be able to control him. I'm glad that mistress Balia is out of the picture, if she was still here then it could have been hell." Nicia exhaled in deep relief. "I want to ask you a question, Nicia." "Go ahead, what do you want to ask?" "I want to know, is the Alpha from hell a good person? Is he a good man?" "You mean a good Alpha? A good male wolf." Nicia corrected. "Yes, exactly." "I wouldn't really say Alpha Draven is a completely good male wolf but I see him as my savior, he saved me." "Huh? He saved you? From what?" "Let's sit, let me tell you a story of how I became his mistress. After this, we are going to plan how you'll tame him. You need to tame him." They both sat down and Nicia started. "You see I was seven years of age at the tim
"How did it go?" Nicia asked once Agnella came out from Alpha Draven's office. "It didn't go well, he got angry and asked me to leave," Agnella mumbled. "He got angry? That's unexpected but maybe he didn't mean it, let's try again tomorrow, shall we?" Nicia smiled. The next day Agnella tried to keep Alpha Draven company while he was having his breakfast but he completely ignored her, same with lunch and dinner. Nicia said a few words to calm Agnella down and they decided to try again the following day. "It'll only get better if you keep on trying, I think he is purposely making it harder for you. Maybe he knows why you are doing this and he is trying to make it hard for you, but whatever happens, you'll win." Nicia encouraged her. Agnella kept going to join Alpha Draven during his meal time but it never got better, it happened for a week and Agnella got tired. "So what? What do you want me to do? What exactly do you want me to do?" Agnella shouted standing in front of Alpha Dra
It's been more than 20 hours and the pain still hasn't disappeared, Agnella kept rolling on the bed wondering what went wrong.A knock came on the door followed by a push, and one of her maids came in."Miss, you have a visitor." The maid announced."I can't, I can't see anyone right now." Agnella groaned."Are you okay miss? You don't sound okay," the maid moved closer to her."I'm okay, I'm fine," Agnella mumbled."I think I should report this to the boss," the maid turned and made to leave but Agnella sat up and grabbed her hand."There is no need for that, I ate too much and my stomach doesn't like it, it's just a stomach upset, will you report everything to him? Is that really necessary?" Agnella groaned."Oh.. oh okay if you refuse, I won't say a word." The maid agreed."Who is at the door?""It's the third mistress miss, mistress Gattara, she wishes to see you." The maid told."I'll see her, go tell her I'll be out in a minute.""Okay, I'll deliver the message." The maid left.
