*Bold will indicate when Pov is speaking* "Hey Girl! I felt something hit my leg. It's heavy and I've felt it many times. I also hear a familiar female voice, but my eyes don't want to open. I feel like I'm just lying down and not even half asleep. I feel so heavy and some parts of my body are sore because of working all day and night. "Hey!!! you really don't want to get up, huh!? I frowned at the pain that I felt in my thigh again but it was nothing. My body had enought of tiredness that's why it wasn't react to any pain anymore. "Give it to me! After those words, I automatically got up and felt my whole body covered in cold. I hug myself, shivering in cold water that wet my rug like cloths. "Finally! now your awake." I looked up on the woman in a black dress standing infront of me holding her hand held fan. She's Luna Mathilda of this pack. Jade Pack where for three years I lived like a slave to serve their family. I immediately knelt in front of her with my head bowed to show fear and respect. "W-do you have any orders, Luna Mathilda? I asked stammering even though the truth is that I don't have enough strength to do whatever she wants me to do. "Have you forgotten? today is the day my son-in-law alpha from the Crystal pack is coming? "Everyone is already busy taking care of it, but here you are still lying here in- You smelly den! I admit that I did forget about what she was talking about. "Come on! Get moving and get to work!" She yelled as she walked out of my prison-like room. When she left, I immediately stood up and immediately followed her out. I didn't even get far from my room but Merry met me ,one of the maids here in this pack. She was in a hurry and seemed anxious. "Sandra, hurry up!" Miss Carla is calling you. "Huh? w-why?" I asked innocently. Luna glanced at me with her furrowed brows. "You heard? " MOVE fast!! She yelled at the same time hitting her fan she was holding on my arm. "Y-yes, yes! I said in a panic as I ran to Carla's room. She was the only child of Alpha Austin and Luna Mathilda. Before I even reached the room, I could hear her furious voice. I jumped in shock when something splashed out from the room. "YOU! Her eyes widened in anger when she saw me standing at the door. "You stupid girl! She came to me angrily, grabbed my hair and dragged me into the room where there were two other servants who had obviously already received her punishment. All the things were scattered on the floor and even though I didn't witness it, I knew it was Carla's doing. "Ah-" I stuttered because of the pain caused by my hair being tugged. I clung to her wrist as if trying to reduce the pain somehow, but of course it didn't help. She dragged me in front of the dresser and pressed my face down on it. Then she picked up the cloth that was on the floor with one of her hands. "Didn't I order you to sew this dress because it's too loose for me? But you didn't do it! What am I going to wear now?! She yelled and I could feel her anger in her hands that almost pulled out all the strands of my hair from my scalp. "Carla! what's going on here? Luna Mathilda asked when she suddenly appeared on the door. Her eyes lands on me and saw her daughter evilsh doings. "My dear! Alpha Jack will arrive any moment." "Mom, don't you see? This i***t is not doing her job. "Look! I told her to sew this dress because it's what I'm going to wear later, but she didn't! Carla said annoyingly before she turned her gaze back to me. "You. I know, you did this in purpose to ruin my day! She accuses me, but what else can I answer if I've been judged for a sin I really didn't want to happen "What? I'm right, aren't I? She said. "N-no,p-please. I'm sorry. I said with tears rolling down my face. With the amount of work they give, I have forgotten some of them. I even lost my time for my sleep just to fulfill all of those works. "Carla, you have so many clothes, just choose something else. "Come on, fix yourself and let those idiots do their jobs, alright? Com'on." Luna came and forced to take her daughter with her out of the room. And for the first time I'm thankful that Luna come, somehow she save's me from her daughter. "Hey! I'm not going to wear any clothes, I don't care what magic you use, as long as that dress is fix in less than an hour. Do you understand? I just nodded. So far I have escaped Carla's wrath. But just for a moment, how can I fix this dress in such a short time. Not only that, when Luna and Carla left, I faced the anger of the two maids. Why not? They just got hurt because of Carla's anger towards me. I knew it was impossible, but I did it. I sewed correctly what Carla asked me to do, Somehow I feel relief even though my fingers are filled with wounds from the needle because I rushed to finish the sewing on time. I could barely feel my legs because of the day's work. I'm a bit dizzy as my head starts to feel heavy. But the event hasn't started yet. I was in the kitchen when I heard the alpha Jack who they say is Carla's mate has arrived. Honestly, I hope that today he will take Carla with him so that there will be fewer people with bad attitudes in this pack. "Hey! Take it over there to the guests. The cook handed me the tray with the appetizers. "Take care of that, the price of those foods is more expensive than your life! I secretly blew air out of my mouth because of what the arrogant chef said. How did these meals become more expensive than my life? It's just sliced ​​bananas with ice cream. I just want this event to be over so that I can rest, my eyes are about to give out. I went to the garden where the event will be held and will introduce the important guest with the tray. As much as possible, I don't want to spend too much time there because I feel like every eyes were looking at me. I'm also not even interested in meeting the guests or seeing what they look like until a wind hit my face with a very strong smell. A manly scent that made me lift my head and find an elegant man walking towards where I was. I felt like everything around me stopped. He was walking with a smile on his lips, something that made my heart throb so hard. "My mate! He just passed me by. My eyes followed him until he reached the location of some guests who immediately greeted him. ***** I'm sure and I can't be wrong. He is my mate, the man I have been waiting for a long time to come into my life. He is my only hope to get out of my step father's hell pack. I know that I was wrong to hope that he would save me and that I was wrong to hope that he would accept a scoundrel like me. But I can't hope for anything. This little bit of hope is all I have left and if it's gone, I might not want to live anymore. I'm Cassandra Johnson 21 years old, I'm just a simple and ordinary weak wolf blood. But once in my life I can say that I had been happy, where it seemed like I lived in a paradise. It was in my father's like a paradise pack. I am an only child, a weak child of my loving parents. My father is Alpha and everyone says he is the best alpha among all alphas and I agree with that. He is not the strongest but he is the most respected by everyone because of his kindness. Everything is in order, our life is peaceful as if we couldn't ask for anything else. Until our peace is shattered by an army led by a cruel alpha who is feared by all because every pack he goes to can't even be considered a pack by the time they leave. They take all the wealth, take the youth and women to be slaves to his pack. They take everything until there is nothing left but ashes. Who is he? no one knows and I don't want to know anymore. I hate him to the bone even though I don't know him yet. My mother and I are lucky because we survived but can we really call it lucky? I think it just prolongs our suffering. My mother married a beta, a widow. And because they were not fated mates, my mother's days with that man became hell until she lost her life because of the cruelty of this man whom I now call step father. I don't know how I can cope with all the hardships I'm going through and if I have a little hope left it's to finally meet my mate. I don't care if he's not alpha or beta, what's important to me is that he can get me out of the hell I'm in right now. Maybe even if he's a slave like me, that's fine with me at least there's someone who can sympathize with my sufferings. But he is not a slave like me. By the way he dresses and talks to those around him and how everyone treats him with respect, I know he is far from my situation. Compared to him, I'm just a dirty rag. If I approach him and say that I am his mate, will he accept me? Will he even notice me? Sadness filled my eyes and my vision fell to my feet. I waited for him for a long time but now that he was almost within my reach, I couldn't get close to him. I didn't have enough courage to even approach him. I'm so weak and worthless that I can't even give myself any confidence. I only get a few drops of water for my energy so I literally have no energy. They also forced me to wake up early to force myself to work because there is an important guest coming today. I've heard about this guy coming today but never once saw him. Pure good stuff, kind alpha from the neighboring pack. Since I came to this pack, I have never been out so I have no idea what pack they are referring to. Who would have thought that the man everyone is praising is none other than my mate. But shouldn't he be feeling the mate bond like me? Yes, it's not that strong but I feel something strange about him, it's not clear maybe because I'm far away from him but if I can get close to him, he might feel the same way I feel. I gathered all my remaining courage. I tightly carried the entirety of my dirty dress in my hands so that I could walk without hindrance. I'll do it now or never, this opportunity won't come again if I miss it. Finally, I made my first step closer to where he was, where he was greeted by everyone. As I slowly walked closer to where they were, the smell grew stronger. Very manly, but it's still not that strong, I'm still looking for something, I'm not satisfied yet with the smell I get from him. How can I get his attention? I want to see his face. I want our eyes to meet. The pounding in my chest started to get stronger and my eyes got thirsty waiting for him to turn and look in the direction where I was standing. If he turns around, he will definitely see me. My heart hopes for that to happen. And the moment he did that, I felt like time stopped around us. As they say, he looks like no other. His eyes reveal how strong he is. I couldn't say anything, because I couldn't believe that this man was my mate. My heart melted and all the tiredness I felt disappeared when a smile appeared on the side of his lips. I seem to be daydreaming. And it didn't take long before I realized that I do. "A-" My body almost fell to the ground when someone bumped into me from behind. It wasn't an accident because she meant it. Carla, the proud daughter of alpha Austin of this pack# wearing the dress that I sewed with my wounded fingers.# She purposely does that to push me out of her way. And I can see it from her proud smile that she is guilty of what she did. But what I can't understand is why she took the path towards my mate. And my mate, he even held out his palm to help Carla get up to the stage he was standing on. "What's happening? that sweet smile of his, is that for Carla? But why? I'm his mate,w-why? My mind is a mess. I immediately felt tears welling up in my strained eyes while watching the bright stage that seemed meant to make everyone wonder what was going on between the two of them. Suddenly my chest heaved, Relieved pain and fatigue returned to me and now it's doubled. There's no need to explain because it's obvious from the way they stare at each other with desire I already know that I have lost. They started introducing themselves to everyone and revealing the relationship they had and I couldn't wait to slap it in my face. My legs were shaking as I turned away from them and started walking away from that place. My tears are falling but no sobs can be heard from me, maybe because my throat is already dry. I'm like a corpse that walks and has no strength left. Until I completely fall. "What? no, I'm not hurt at all. So I don't fall to the ground. I don't have the strength to open my eyes anymore, but I'm sure someone catched me. I almost drowned in a very strong manly smell, I even buried my face in his chest. He seduces my senses with his black pepper firewood masculine scent. It was so strong but yet made me calm and comfortable until I got used to it and I didn't know what happened next.
