“You are still not over him yet. I can’t be a rebound,” He said, and I was stunned.
“Who said you are a rebound?” I asked him, and he smiled.
He kissed the corner of my lips, released me and walked away.
He had stylishly refused my invitation. I was furious, angry, name it. I felt everything. I felt inadequate. What did Cindy have that I did not? I was mad.
“He is arrogant,” Monica growled as we walked back to the castle, sexually frustrated. I walked to my room and headed straight for the bath. Touching myself would have to suffice.
I wore shorts and a t-shirt and headed for dinner.
He had sent me his clothes. I wondered why he didn’t send someone to just buy me new ones. Instead, he wanted me walking about in his oversized clothes.
I did not dry my hair, so it was wet.
I met Eloise and Raphael there; I did not need to guess why Kara and Marcel weren’t there.
I noticed Eloise wasn’t in a good mood, so I linked her to find out her problem.
“Some bit ch es gave me a hard time because of him. I suspect he is screwing them, but he refuses to admit it. Not that I care, but I should

know,” She said, and I realised she had her version of Cindy.

Marcel finally arrived with Kara, and the food was served. I wondered where Darius was.
“The Alpha wouldn’t be joining us; he is working on something with Cindy,” he said, and I felt a pain in my chest. That was why he turned down my invitation. I was furious.
I composed myself and tried to eat without showing emotions.
After the meal, Kara tried to make me stay to hang out, but I was fighting tears, so I just walked away. I would apologise to her when I am better, but I just needed space now.
I entered my room, and I wished it had a lock.
“We should barge in on them,” Monica said, ready to do damage.
“He is not ours, Monica, and he has not made his intentions known. We will only be making fools of ourselves.” I told my wolf, and she was
silent.
I went to bed with a broken heart.
Morning came, and I did not go for breakfast.
“Zora, why aren’t you in the dining room?” I heard Darius’s voice in my head, and I was tempted to growl, but I composed myself.
“I am not hungry,” I said, and he was silent.
“Regardless, you should eat. Training starts by nine; that is an order,” he said. I growled and got up.
I decided to wear a sheer outfit instead of his clothes this time. I was glad he had not cleared my wardrobe as he had threatened.

I arrived at the dining room, and Kara smiled, but Darius was mad.
I went to sit next to him and greeted everyone with the utmost respect, then served my food.
“What do you think you are doing dressed like that?” He asked me, almost growling.
“I do not think it is wise I walk around in your clothes, Alpha; it will send the wrong message. I do not want Cindy’s trouble,” I said, and his anger dissipated.
He was silent, and I ate breakfast.
For the first time. I requested to be served wine. It was out of character and too early, but my nerves were all over the place, and I knew I had pi ss ed Darius off. I needed to calm down.
He did not utter a word throughout my display, and when the breakfast was over, he left.
“You shouldn’t push him, Zora. He has made a lot of exceptions for you.” Marcel warned me, and I was quiet. What did he know about being pushed? Kara looked at me, feeling sorry for me.
I felt sorry for myself. Being brave with Darius was pointless; I just broke down and cried. Raphael and Marcel excused us while Eloise and Kara remained.
What is the matter?” Kara asked.
“You usually have your sh it together, but you are losing yourself,” Kara said, and I nodded in agreement. I did not understand what was happening to me.
“Remember, we are prisoners here, Zora. They could get bored and kick us to the curb. As nice as they may be, we aren’t free here. Please do not

aggravate the Alpha.” Eloise pleaded with me, afraid of what would happen if Darius got mad and changed his mind. Being victims of severe abuse, I could understand their fear and her willingness to settle for less. Anything was better than where they were coming from, but I couldn’t relate, and my heart and emotions were all over the place.
I wiped away my tears for their sake.
“I will try,” I said, and they thanked me.
I returned to my room to change my clothes. And then, I went to join Darius in the training room.
He was the only one there, and he was punching a bag.
It seemed ordinary until I realised it was coated in silver; I looked around and noticed that most things were covered in silver.
I realised why they were very strong. If they trained with silver, then an actual battle would be easy.
Remembering what my friends pleaded with me to do, I chose to be on my best behaviour.
“I am sorry I wore that dress to breakfast; it won’t happen again, Alpha,” I said, and he punched the bag hard.
I wonder what I said that made him angry.
He turned to look at me, his hair was wet with sweat, and his muscles flexed.
I tried to ignore his body and his face altogether.
“What are you doing here?” He asked me, a bit angry, and I swallowed. I guess I had pi ssed him off really good.
“To train,” I said with uncertainty.

“No training today, and you can wear your sheer clothes henceforth,” He said and turned back to continue what he was doing.
I felt insulted, but he had put me in my place, which Kara and Eloise feared.
What was the matter with him? What was he afraid of?
I did not want to trouble him any more than I had, so I gave up.
“I am sorry to disturb you. I will take my leave,” I said and turned around. As I was leaving. I heard Darius growl loudly and punch the bag hard. I walked quickly to create the desired distance between us. I did not want to be in the punching bag’s shoes.
I left the place feeling foolish and st up id.
I decided to go to my room and sleep the rest of the day.
I did not want to stay awake, so I won’t think about what had just happened.
Maybe I will wake up, and it will all be a bad dream.
I told the se rva nt at my door to bring me the strongest drink they had, anything to knock me out, and she smiled and went to fetch me something.
She was yet to know that my privileges had been revoked. I might as well abuse it one last time before it is official.
She returned with a bottle with a vodka label filled with a green-looking drink.
I thought it would taste awful, but it was delicious.
I went through half the bottle and started feeling funny.

I was in his room.
