"This will be your room."
The old lady wearing a huge scowl on her face throwed her words with annoyance.
Ilaria weakly nodded and glanced around the wooden cracked room. "You won't be getting any uniform infact you'll have to work, immediately. Be at the main pack house by 10. Don't be late." She stated and left her alone.
Her eyes flickered around to see the room was basically empty; just a small bucket was placed in the far corner to relief her bladder.
The whole area was covered in thick dust and cobwebs. She gulped down the lump forming in her throat.
This room didn't look like a maids quarter instead it looked like a cell with an exception -- a window.
Suddenly a streak of sweat rolled down her face in anxiety. "How will I find the pack house?" She questioned herself.
Without wasting any time Ilaria bolted out of the room. Her battered bare feet led through the secluded and quiet hallways. Finally arriving at the open entrance, she walked out of the building and was instantly pressured.
Clutching the fabric of her knee length shirt tightly, she hung her head in embarrassment. The people in the open field pinned her down with their heated stares.
"I heard she is the Rouge who trespassed."
"The Alpha definitely won't leave her walking, he hates Rouges out of all."
"She'll face his and his loved ones wrath."
"Poor girl, looks dead already."
They murmured amongst themselves without any shame. "What are you standing here for? The head maid is waiting for the past 12 mins." A feminine voice was heard beside her making her shriek in response. Tilting her head, she saw a tall girl standing in the shortest piece of checkered skirt. "What are you starring at, Rouge?" The girl hissed and Ilaria instantly looked away.
"Lets go." The girl sighed and walked to the opposite side with Ilaria following behind, her orbs fixed on the ground. As they passed the people and the huge houses, she barely glanced at her surroundings.
After a few twist and turns, they finally arrived at the mansion like pack house. Entering, Ilaria finally looked up. A silent gasp left her mouth as her gaze darted around the expensive interior. Creamy walls filled with various paintings. Heavy embedded lights adorned the rooftop. A sweet yet sweaty air. "Come, don't gawk like a dying fish." Ilaria's shifted her curious attention back to the girl's back.
They both marched towards the kitchen.
Halting in her steps, she saw the very same lady barking orders at the other maids. "Ma'am Hailey, I've brought her."
Hailey tilted her head and sneered, "Didn't I say not be late?"
Ilaria cowered away from the rudeness. "Ma'am, she was probably lost." The checkered girl told her off with a wave. "Whatever Kyla, just tell her about her chores and then, go back to your work. Also a special guest will be arriving tomorrow and I want everything tidy and spotless." Hailey stated and went back to supervising the other workers.
"As you now, I'm Kyla. One of the workers, here. About your chores, you'll swipe the floors clean, wash the dishes, help anyone if needed. But firstly, clean the hallway area next to library which is on the fourth floor. Also, no one is allowed to enter Alpha's mansion which is separate from the eleven pack houses unless and until it's Alpha's most trusted maids." She paused for a second to grab a chunk of breath but nevertheless continued, "If you want to live than stay away from the Alpha and his people. Each and every person in this kingdom is strong and powerful. You'll not be able to face their anger. Do you understand, Rouge?" Kyla's honey colored orbs ranked up and down her body, as if she was silently warning her.
She hesitantly nodded.
"Great. Here is the cloth, soapy liquid and fresh water bucket. Wipe the floors cleans and tidy. It should be spotless." Kyla handed over the materials to her with a tight lipped frown. Grabbing them with immense difficulty, she turned around. But before she could take the next step, she stilled at the question Kyla asked, "Your name?"
Clutching the handle tightly, she shook her head and replied hoarsely, "I-Ilaria. "
Without hearing her response, Ilaria hastily walked off to her destination.
Arriving at the hallways, she finally placed the heavy supplies on the floor and leaned herself on the wall.
"Name? Alpha? Pack? E-Even now, I'm just.. a mere rouge to a certain s-someone."
A wave of dizziness flashed in her brain making her stumble in her steps.Ilaria had scraped the floors, raw and neat for the past few hours. The amount of pressure she released left her body in ac.Placing herself on the tidy ground, she closed her eyes and waited for the wave to pass."What the hell are you doing here, rouge?" A man's voice entered in her ears making her jerk. She tilted her head to find the same blond and dark eyed guy towering over her body. "C-Cleaning?" She replied.His brows narrowed and bluntly uttered, "With your eyes closed?"She bit her cracked lip and shrugged, looking away in embarrassment. Suddenly their small moment was interrupted by another man who was running and yelling at the same time, "Beta Luca, Alpha has postponed his travel and he wants you in his office, like right now. It's urgent."The Beta nodded, "I'll be there. Thanks Andrew." He bowed with a smile and left the two in silence.Ilaria got up with difficulty, her gaze once again wavered in
The morning sun rays enveloped the room, lighting up the darkened area.Ilaria turned around in her sleep and groaned. The past night had went by in fear. Her nightmares had ate her remaining peaceful moments.The light once again shined upon her face, she finally mustered up the courage of get up. The bones within her body cracked and popped. She yawned as her eyes adjusted to brightness.Ilaria stood up with a screaming bladder and went towards the bucket which was moldy and greasy. "Disgusting." She mumbled but nevertheless, relieved herself.The time when she lived in a cave, she used to go to the nearest human city to find public bathrooms. Humans didn't care much unless and until it was something important.Tugging her panties up, she let her dirty shirt, fell freely. The atmosphere was still a bit chilly but she had to bear it like always. "I hope the cat is.. safe." Sighing, she left the room and wiggled through the very same hallways.Arriving at the entrance, she left the su
IlariaThere is this moment when you are scared of receiving the punishment from your parents when you do something wrong and that is exactly what I felt right now. Only the difference was; that his deep green eyes were twinkling in the light yet I couldn't sense any rage within them or even displeasure.He tilted his neck with an arched eyebrow expecting me to answer. But all I could do was stare at his alluring beauty. They say 'men are handsome', but this guy infront of me? was insanely beautiful.His mop of dirty blonde hair fanned his pale skinned forehead in a massive amount. Dark green doey eyes, sharp nose and a defined jawline which could cut a paper if needed.His much looking younger face wasn't matching his deep and gruff voice.It was a sin to be that beautiful."Done starring at me?" his voice entered my ears breaking away the trance I was in. "B-Beautiful." I mumbled making the man smile."Why, thankyou."I hummed at his entrancing voice. It was a mixture of roughness a
'Fly high with your broken wings.' The line told by numerous people, but what if those people were responsible for your broken fly? "Mama, look look, what I found! A caterpillar!" A little girl came rushing towards her mother. The mother turned around, her once saddened face was replaced with love and adoration. "Wow, really baby?" The girl aggressively nodded, her toothy grin melting her mother's heart. "Can I show it to papa and big brothers?" Her mother immediately shook her head in a no and replied, "Some other time, hopefully. Papa is not here. He is in his office, working." Her smiley face dropped into a small pout, "you always tell me the same story. Does he not want to see me?" she asked, slightly tilting her head. "No means no Ilaria. When I tell you do to something you do it without any question." The mother silenced her up and went away leaving Ilaria in the dark abandoned storeroom with her lonely caterpillar. "I wish, you loved me like you mean it, papa."Ilaria's
IlariaAfter he left, I had made my way towards the corner where the light didn't reach.Darkness was my bestfriend. My hand flew to my neck, as the tip of my digits gently caressed the chain that was hiding in the collar of my shirt. Clicking the lock open, I took off the chain and placed it on my palm.A total of six chunks of amethyst and moonstones were embedded in the two corners of the pendant whilst in the middle was a pattern; a constellation which was made out of silver and gold lines."Why me?" I sighed and leaned backwards, clutching the pendant tightly. "Why h-him? he hates me." The words he threw at my face without any remorse or guilt, it was as if he didn't want a mate in the first place. Or maybe it was just me?I closed my eyes and went far away in the abyss. The slumber was the only way of survival. I tried to fight the monster but I always ended up with nothing but pain.*"Wake up, rouge." A man's voice entered in my mind as a kick was landed in my gut.My eyes op
IlariaTwo insanely identical bulky man came forward. The smirks plastered on their faces made my heart tremble in fear. "Shall we start, brother?"The other nodded.Not even giving me the time to adjust, they threw a handful of punches in my gut, together, knocking all the wind out of my lungs. I bit my lower lip to keep in my cries, as the ache resurfaced."Brother, her face should be bruised as well, right?" The other nodded and replied, "I'll do the pleasure. Afterall taming the sluts is my utmost speciality."He came forward whilst the other stood to the side. The man smacked my face with immense face making my head snap to the left.My droopy eyes instantly met his deep blue ones.He had his jaw tightly clenched whilst his posture was rigid and frozen. He could probably feel my pain through the mate bond.The man grabbed my chin and yanked my face towards his, breaking the little encounter I had with the Alpha. He roughly threw a punch on the side of my cheek. "Look at me, when
IlariaHurt, soreness, agony.That is all I felt when the men conversed or more like argued amongst each other. "Take her to the packs doctor, why do you wanna treat her yourself? and if not, then I ain't leaving you with her. Who knows, what if she tries to get on your good side and gains sympathy from you?" Xandros blankly growled and took a seat on the nearest couch which was placed just infront of the bed.Nico heaved a deep sigh when he saw the others follow him and took seats next to each other."Fine, stay but don't disturb me and stay silent."Nico came forward with his medical supplies. He wore his surgical gloves while analyzing my body from head to toe. "Ilaria, is it okay if I open the buttons of your shirt, so I can see the damage?""What no-?!" Xandros abruptly spoke. "Are you the doctor or me?" Nico asked with an arched eyebrow. He tsked and leaned back."Can I?" Nico turned around and asked to which I slowly nodded. If this was the only way to get rid of the pain then
Ilaria"No."He looked at me with a quirked eyebrow. "I wasn't asking you. I was ordering you to tell me."I shook my head once again, "No one t-tortured me. I fell during my kidnapping.. that's all."He sighed and replied, knowing I wasn't gonna bulge. "Fine, but if this isn't the truth then be ready for the consequences." A cold shiver ran down my spine.Nico grabbed his glove and wore it. He digged through his medical box to grab a pair of tweezers and a bottle of hydrogen peroxide."Do you want me to sedate you? or can you handle the pain?" He questioned."I'll b-be okay. You can c-continue." I coughed out my words and looked away, directing my stare towards the grey ceiling which suddenly looked interesting as ever.He nonchalantly hummed and started to work on my body.Sleeping in someone's presence had never brought a positive impact on myself. In the previous pack, my room had consisted of five more omegas who always treated me like a punching bag. Or more like they threw all
