In love With The Wolfless Heir

One hour in the yard

Arabella.

Maria came with lunch, she wasted no time in leaving and I ate every part of it. I thought of a great way to run away, it seems to me the guards are not always by the door, if Hailey can walk in, I can leave without anyone knowing but the thoughts of the camera watching me, I knew I will be in trouble

Even while I ate, I tried not to think about Nathan and what happened when he brushed his lips against my ear, it was a feeling I never had before, like my insides warming me to stay away from him but my heart begging me to inch closer to him, my heart always listened to me. I begged her not to think about him but it was to no avail

After an afternoon sleep, I found myself sitting by the end of the bed around six in the evening, will it kill the Alpha to have books in his room or even a tv, I was bored to death and I knew a little light reading will make me feel better.

I brushed off the thoughts when Nathan walked into the room with something on his hand, when he placed it on the bed, I knew it was clothes.

“Are you bored Arabella? You seem bored.” He asked and I didn’t utter any word. “Even in prison, when the inmates are good, they get at least one hour in the yard to themselves, to clear their minds.” He spoke and my heart skipped a beat

One hour in the yard.

That didn’t sound bad at all

I would kill to leave the room. At some point, I imagined myself hallucinating about Nathan, that’s how much it affected me to be in his room and I didn’t want any of that.

I watched as Nathan pulled a chair and he sat in front of me.

“What are you doing?.”

“Let’s play a game, one truth and you will be allowed outside of this room for an hour.” He spoke and my breath hitched

One truth.

I had so many secrets, one that I never wanted anyone to know, even Natalie didn’t know about it and I knew she had secrets of her own too.

My breath hitches as I stared at him, he moved closer to me until our knees were touching each other and my eyes darted away from his.

“How did you escape those wolves Arabella? When your father threw you out, I’m certain he had those wolves waiting for you to kill you, they didn’t just show up, they were told.” Nathan spoke and my eyes widened in shock

I felt my pulse race as I stared at him.

“How?”

“I can find out anything and it’s not a secret, I am surprised he took this long to want you dead. Do you think he informed the wolves of your arrival, had them waiting for you and don’t even lie, they are the reason you have wounds all over your body so tell me, what did you do to survive? How did you get them to leave you alone.” He spoke

I paused my lips

If I stay in this room all day, I could lose my mind but two hours outside this room, it was good for me and I could stay for a week without going out and I will be fine, I needed Nathan to know he can trust me, trust me enough that one day I get to roam around without the guards ever coming class to me.

I doubted any of that will happen, I doubted he will trust me to that extent.

My eyes snapped to his and my breath felt heavy against my chest.

“One truth.”

“I want a n********s the two hours, just something I could read, to take my mind off things.”

“That depends on how tonight will go. Be good and maybe I will throw that in, attempt to run away and maybe that will be the reason I have my wolves hurt you.” He said. And I could tell he meant every word that escaped his lips, I didn’t have plans to run away. Because I know even if I did, I will not make it far, I am too weak for that.

“One truth.” He said again and I nodded.

“Wolves run when one is injured, when they lose one, they may get angry and want to revenge but I don’t know.”

“What don’t you know?.” He asked and I closed my eyes

“I stabbed one of the wolves. I think he died, I don’t know what happened after that, they ran away. I had expected they will fight me for their brother, make me pay for what I has done, but they didn’t, instead they ran away from there and I fell to the ground; that’s when you found me, I didn’t want to stab him, I had to, I had to make sure I will be safe, I didn’t want to die either, I imagined I wanted to die but I was wrong, I didn’t want to.” I breathed out, my eyes filled with tears when I looked at him.

“You stabbed a wolf.” He asked

“The strength, you know how they say, at war even the weakest becomes the strongest because of the will not to die, that’s what happened to me? I didn’t want to die and I think I did the right thing.” I spoke and he hummed

He stood up instantly and he looked at me.

“Wear me the cloth and get ready, Maria will bring you downstairs when the time is right.” He didn’t spare me a glance before heading out of the room.

I felt a wave of relief wash over me, like a weight has been pulled out of my chest and I glanced at the clothes. I needed this badly and I would have said anything just to leave this room
