ARAIA'S P.O.V
Sht. Sht. Sht.
What should I do?
"Argh!"
I can't focus on what I'm doing because of what Alpha said.
I walked back and forth, I still can't believe Alpha would say that!
He likes me? How!?
"I mean-." Since when?
So that explains all those good deeds that he showed me. I never thought of him having feelings for me as we don't know each other that long!
I don't even know his background and such. That's why this is really unexpected.
We don't talk to each other that often too and he is not showing me anything that would help me to distinguish his feelings for me except those that he showed lately.
Is that the reason why he didn't kill me?
I bite my lips. What will happen from now on? I'm not used to dealing with something like that even before so this is all new to me. I don't even know how to act around him, although I want to avoid him and not just think about his confession but how could I do that when he is my boss?
Is it even possible for me to avoid him when we are seeing each other every day?
Should I tell him that I don't like him so that I won't be awkward around him?
"No…" I shouldn't do that, He is still my boss and he has the power to kill me whenever he wants.
then, should I tell him that I like him too?
I mean…I know that I shouldn't tell him that but I can't deny the fact that I am happy to hear it from him. I know to myself that him confessing to me his interest in me touched my heart.
Although my feelings for him aren't that deep compared to his, I still can't just wash it away.
"Argh!" I don't know what to do!
I snapped back when I heard a knock in the door, I am currently in my room thinking about what Alpha said yesterday.
He told me to go back to my room after dinner, treated me and after he confessed so I would get a rest. He also told me that I am not obligated to go to work until I am fully healed and I should rest assured that he will not replace me. He told me not to think about my job so much as I am the best candidate for that job and it would be impossible to replace me.
Well…I know I'm good…
I went to the door and opened it, and a man in his forties showed up.
"Hi? How may I help you?" He is taller than me and this is the first time that I saw him.
I'm sure that I haven't met him before because when I'm still a maid I used to go everywhere to bring something to either soldiers or to other maids and this is the first time that I saw him.
Is he new?
But I haven't encountered any documents while I'm still working recording the hiring of a new maid or guard here. Did it happen while I am recovering?
"Hi!" The old man smiled at me.
"Yes?" I ask him, Is there really something in him that I couldn't describe…
"I have something to show you!" He added, ``His smile hasn't faded yet.
I arched my eyebrows.
"What is it?" Did he come here to show me something? Does he even know my name and who told him to show me anything without saying his name first?
the old man pulled something in his pocket and the second later, I fell on the ground and lost my consciousness.
**
"Ouch!"
I rolled around to ease the pain on my shoulder, I can also feel my ankle hurting.
I was about to put my hair away from my face when I realized that I couldn't move my hand.
There, I felt something as if I was moving. Wait-!
I opened my eyes immediately after I realized what was happening and I was not wrong. I am lying in this dark place with my hands tied up. I can feel that the place where I am now is moving.
Fck. I've been here!
I tried to get up but the pain in my ankle made it hard for me so I just sat instead. I lean on the wall to support myself from falling and when I am finally sat I roamed my eyes around.
Is there minimal lights coming from outside from the holes of where I am?
Am I in a carriage? Is the past repeating again?
Am I being kidnapped?
But who will do this- oh, Don't tell me Giselle planned this again?
oh my goodness…
Just when is she going to stop from harassing me and where is she taking me this time?
No, How did she even manage to land this when she was dragged away by Alpha? I thought that she was fired because of causing trouble multiple times and she was chased away by the guards. I overheard it earlier… So how did she manage to kidnap me?
That man earlier, So that explains why that man isn't familiar to me!
Sht.
What would happen to me this time?
Will they torture me before they kill me?
Knowing Giselle and her hatred the words me and there is a possibility that she will torture me first before killing me.
Right, that is most likely to happen so I will not let her do what she wants!
I've been here before so I have learned my lesson.
I searched for the mini knife that I brought with me, after what happened with Orlando I always bring a knife with me so things like that in the past won't happen to me again.
I never imagined that I would experience this again but I still bring it with me in case of emergencies, thankfully I trust myself and now the knife that I always bring with me will be my key to escape this place.
I didn't waste more time. I grabbed the knife and started to cut the rope that was tied on my wrist.
It's quite thick So it's kind of hard for me to cut it easily but I didn't give up. The word times were the carriage would shake along with me but I didn't stop cutting the rope.
I need to escape as soon as possible before they even notice that I am now awake because Giselle already managed to lock me up before and now she even kidnapped me so there's a possibility that she will hurt me physically this time.
It is so hard to face someone who has a grudge against you because you don't know what will happen and what's in their mind.
It took me quite long to finally cut the rope.
"Now how should I escape this place without them knowing?"
They are overwolves although they can transform into one but they still have the blood of it, for sure those have high sensitivity to things just like how they managed to sense Alpha Alejandro's aura.
I can't escape without a solid plan, I'm not even sure if they have someone that can transform. if they ever have one it would be too problematic for me since it would be hard for me to escape.
They will find me even if I run nonstop.
What is the best option now?
Wait- I remember that I have encountered these beasts who can sense me even though I am near them, I remember that I am Holding something when I walk towards them but when I dropped it they immediately turned their heads on me.
What was I holding at that time?
Oh! I now remember!
It is the necklace that I have had since birth. I am holding it because I cleaned it before. I should try it.
"I'll try every possible way just to escape this place…"
I remove my necklace from my neck and hold it tightly, "This should be okay…"
Then I started to look for the door and when I found it I quietly removed it. Thankfully it was just a cover since this carriage is for goods.
They must use this as an excuse to Get me out of the village since the security there is quite strict.
When I successfully remove the cover I slowly and quietly Get out of that carriage and jump off it when I have the chance.
I made sure that I didn't make any noise and there's something that would cover me when I jumped off. I immediately run towards the bush to cover myself so that they won't see me.
I watch as the carriage continues to go without them noticing me.
"Thank goodness!" I whisper to myself.
When I couldn't see the carriage I ran in the opposite direction.
I ran as fast as I could but since I still have a sprained ankle, I couldn't run that fast. It's starting to hurt but my desperation to go back to the village is what is important.
The sun is still bright so I suppose that we're still near the village and it hasn't been that long since they kidnapped me. I didn't waste any time and ran nonstop, I almost cried when I saw the gate of the village.
My determination to go back became stronger but I was frozen in my place when I saw a werewolf staring directly at me.
I stopped running because the werewolf suddenly jumped off from the trees in the direction I was going.
Sht. What is it now?
The wolf is giving me a scary aura, his eyes are staring seriously at me, He has a big build and deadly stare.
Is there something in me shouting that I shouldn't mess with that wolf, sweat started to fall from my head.
What am I going to do?
This is the first time that I have a direct encounter with a wolf and it seems mad!
Is that wolf part of Giselle's plan? Did they let me escape that carriage so that they would have an excuse for this wolf to eat me?
Oh fck.
I need to do anything to escape! I want to escape but the fear that I am getting from the wolf in front of me is not letting me to move.
We're just staring at each other while I am trembling in fear. My eyes widened when I saw the wolf slowly walk towards my direction.
N-no…Don't come near me!
I wanted to shout but I couldn't even open my mouth.
I am just staring at the wolf while it's walking towards me.
Am I going to die? Is this where I would die?!
Please don't eat me! I want to live and go back to my family and friends!
I'm too young to die!
My eyes started to become watery while the wolf was still walking towards me. I can feel the tension in my body but I can do anything about it since I can't move even just a single step.
But if I even managed to move, would I really escape that wolf?
I closed my eyes tightly. I gulp continuously.
Is this the end of me?
