Alayne POV:
I glared at the men who were in charge of kidnapping us and killing my family. I had never known such hatred towards anyone in my life. As we passed through the countryside I glanced at the other female who was clearly having a panic attack. My heart broke for her and myself. I couldn't help but think that back in the village I could have been friends with this girl. I softly gasp as I look back out the window as we approached what looked like a village but made of bricks.
The alpha scoffs then a loud laugh escapes his lips. "The stupid little b***h is amazed by a simple town".
I look down in embarrassment as the Alpha and one of his son's laugh at me. I looked toward the son who wasn't laughing who I swore just said under his breath that I wasn't stupid. The young man was the same man who's scent drove me wild but yet now I can't even smell him. I watched him curiously almost forgetting he is one of the people who took my family from me. The carriage finally starts to slow down as we approach a clearing from the woods. A large mansion stood upon the clearing and I could finally see the little buildings placed amongst this huge estate. My eyes lit up in wonder as we got closer. I had never in my life seen such a beautiful property and house.
As the carriage came to a stop the three men exited the carriage swiftly leaving the disgusting guardsmen to drag us into the house. At first we refused to get out of the carriage until the guards grabbed us forcefully and threw us over thier shoulders. We kicked and screamed as the carried us through a servants entrance to the mansion. The guards threw us into a suite on the second floor of the mansion, leaving us there with our hands still tied together.
It seems like hours pass until we hear the suite door open. A young girl our age wearing a maids uniform comes in and looks at us shaking her head. I had never seen a woman so beautiful and exotic in my life. Our village didn't have women that looked like her nor did any neighbouring villages. She came up to us with a knife and the young woman next to me started to cry. Though to our surprise she didn't kill us but released our hands.
She introduced herself to us as Ameila. She was the bastard daughter of a pure blood female but since the alpha didn't know how to handle her birth since she was a cross between the bloodlines. He killed her parents and had her raised in this house as a maid. She told us we didn't have time to talk that both of us needed to take showers and get dressed in the clothes the alpha provided. She left us to shower and change with the promise of explaining why we were brought here.
Kayden's POV:
When arrived back to the house. I went straight to my room ignoring my father as he hollered at me. I heard my mother's soft lilt in the background soothing my father's anger. I wasn't in my room for even two minutes before I heard my mother soft rapping on my bedroom door.
"Come in" I responded grumbling.
I watched my mother walk in and sit on my bed staring at me with remorse as I looked like I had been trying to rip the hair from my scalp.
"What's wrong my sweet child" my mother cooed.
I fell to the ground consumed by guilt and started to sob "Mother I did it, I participated in the selection. I swore I would never do it. I was just going to pick a random house and have the girl become a regular maid. I saw this young woman she was so beautiful and her scent was intoxicating. I wasn't thinking when I told father I wanted her. How am I to even face her".
My mother sunk to the floor and held me. "It's okay Kayden. People make mistakes all the time. I'm sure there is a way you can make this right".
She held me for hours until I calmed down. I hated breaking down like this but my mother was my safe place. I felt as if I could tell her anything. She was so understanding of everything and she had a heart of gold. Why the Moon Goddess gave her to my cruel father is beyond my comprehension.
My mother eventually left me after having the servants bring me a meal. Before she left she gave me the chilling reminder that tonight I would have to sleep with the woman I brought to the mansion. I decided I should shower before a maid brings her to me. I had many things to sort out before she came.
Alayne's POV:
The young woman that was brought here with me was named Macy. We had grown awfully close with the few hours we had been together. We both had gotten showers and she was letting me brush her hair.
"Macy what did they do to your family. When they came for you".
She sighed looking down at her hands "They did nothing because my bastard father just gave me away like it was nothing. What did they do to you?"
I slowly started to cry "Oh Macy, my family fought for me. They hid me in a small closet but the guards murdered them".
Macy turned around and held me stroking my hair. I bit my lip and sucked up my tears knowing I had to be strong in a place like this.
"Hey let's get into our outfits for tonight. Amelia should be back any time" Macy reminded me.
We both went to our beds and looked down at the corset undergarments and the white silk nightgown. Macy helped me lace up the back of my corset and asked me to help with hers. I noticed that our garments were identical to each other's.
"Macy why must we wear these ghastly outfits".
I heard her suck in her breath "I think you know why Alayne".
I lowered my head in shame for what was to come. As I got lost in thought Amelia walked through the door. She looked towards us and shook her head
"Alright ladies, I don't have much time to say what I need to say so listen closely. I'm not sure how much y'all know about your pack but I'm about to fill you in on a lot of information that may just save your lives. This place is Alpha Domenic and Luna Lacey's home. They have two son's whom you have met that selected you. Macy the son that selected you is named Kameron and Alayne the son that selected you is named Kayden. The Alpha has Beta named Kyle and his wife is Cammie. They have two twins daughters whom are named Cali and Clarissa. They are six years old. You must obey those whom rank higher than you or there will be consequences. You are to be seen not heard unless spoken to. You will address everyone by thier title or by sir/ma'am. You are personal slaves to the sons who selected to and you must listen to like they are your god. I'm not saying this to be mean but to help you. I must escort you now to the your masters rooms. Please follow me".
Macy and I looked at each other and followed Amelia. We went up many flights of stairs to reach the rooms. As we reached the third floor Amelia stopped and pointed for Macy to go to the first door that we reach. Five doors down Amelia points to my door. Amelia stepped back and motion for us to knock. Macy looked towards me and mouthed me good luck and nodded. I did the same to her then we knocked. I held my breath until I heard his deep growling voice.
"You may come in...." and with that I turned the knob...
