Chapter 22: Chapter 22

Jessy

I woke up to notice that something strange seem to be happening. Not that it was that visible but the maids that do tend to me seems a bit tensed when they noticed that I've woken up. I slept till afternoon been that it was almost morning before I could sleep. I climb to my bed to see if I could catch a glimpse of what is happening outside but I couldn't been that this place is not really close to the outside.

"Is anything happening?" I asked them.

"Nothing" they chorused shaking their heads quickly.

This gave me the assurance the something is happening. The way they were looking at me was as if that thing relates to me. I'm not a very good judge of reaction but this I know what I'm saying.

"Are you lying?" I asked them.

Them boy wanting to tell me got me scared. Not that they do talk to me like that but at least when I ask questions, they do reply me.

"Damion should have gotten my message. In fact if they had been here there would have been uproar since last night. Damion won't be foolish to come here at noon. He should know that's suicide" I said to myself.

" It's past breakfast so will you have your lunch before you bath or bath before your lunch?" Fillia asked me.

" I'm doing nothing, if you don't tell me what's going on" I retorted.

Fillia smiled stiffly. " It's no use starving yourself ma'am. This issue has nothing to do with your meal" she said calmly.

Amongst all the maids that I've been seeing since I got here, Fillia is the most accomodating. She's the calmest of them all. She quite understands and me talk to me. She wouldn't even treat me harsh like the rest. Not that they've been rude to me but they wouldn't answer anything I tell them. Even if Fillia won't yeild to me, she would explain why. Because of this I do request for her presence but sometimes they deny me of her presence. The first time we met, she told me I can get out of this room if I let down my pride.

"Ma'am, pride won't help you when it comes to our alpha. You can be out of this room if you let your pride down. Oh alpha also shows clemency" she said as she reminded my bedspread.

"You're alpha is a brute" I said with disgust.

I didn't like the way she spoke if our alpha as if he's a kindhearted mam. If he truely is, I wouldn't still be here while he ignored me all the way.

"And yours isn't?" She smiled.

"Don't you dare insult my father!" I retorted with dashing her a stern look.

"I'm not insulting your father. I'm only trying to help you here. If you keep on struggling, you will be here forever. My alpha doesn't care. As you can see he barely know you exist. It's report that we take to his subordinate that will get to him and that's how you can be freed" she explained.

The fear of me been here forever gripped me. I'm still young and my mate is surely looking for me out there. I still have my father's death to avenge. I then decided to calm down.

"What's your name?" I asked her.

"Fillia" she replied.

Since the Fillia and I have been talk buddies. She would even tell me some history of their pack. She told me how she's crushing on one of the male in the pack. She made me forget little of my troubles. When others ain't nice to me, she do scold them threatened to tell the warrior head about it. She will even remind than what the alpha told them about hospitality. With the way they speak of their alpha, I begin to doubt if the man is truely a demon that he is called. Well it part of caring for his people. If there's no people there can't be a leader. If he's truely demonic as he is pasted, he would have tortured me to death. Even his men that do visit me were not as to me. I think a demon should birth demon.

I was in my thought when the man who killed my father whom I later found out that his name is Moi came to me. Then I had already eaten and taken my bath.

"The alpha requests your presence" he said blankly.

The news got me so joyous that I almost smiled. The is the happiest day of my life. The alpha wants to finally see me. The man that has been ignoring me all these while. It's like a dream come true for me. I stood up quickly and followed Moi but on getting to the place he said I was needed, I almost fainted with shock.

I saw my brother and his men tied to the stake with only their lower body covered. I couldn't help but scream the place down.

"No!!!!" I shouted running to him.
