Rhea let out a sigh of relief from the work already accomplished today. Finally, she can use her free time to get some rest before the morning comes. But just as she was about to make her way to her bedroom in the servants' quarters at the back, she heard the head maid calling her.
"Luna Catherine isn't feeling well, go fetch her some potion and bring it to her room right now!" Ordered the head maid to her.
“Yes, ma'am.” Rhea bowed and then hurried to the kitchen.
Luna Catherine is the mate of Alpha Killian. She has just returned here after receiving treatments at her parents' pack. As Rhea completed the herbal drink, a surge of doubt enveloped her as she was about to present it to Luna Catherine's bedroom.
Because that place will remind her of what happened a week ago. Rhea still recalls the moment her body was dragged into this room and roughly laid on the massive bed. That night, Alpha Killian was so powerful that Rhea couldn't even fight back.
As she opened her eyes, Alpha Killian looming over her small frame, his gaze filled with lust. His calloused hands undid her button. He gently caressed her bare skin and then...
Rhea closed her eyes.
Trying to wipe the memory clean
She didn't notice that she had reached the front of Catherine's bedroom.
The door creaked open, revealing the most breathtaking woman Rhea had ever seen.
"Why are you taking so long, bitch?" Luna Catherine snapped.
Rhea stole a glance. Just like Alpha Killian, Luna Catherine hates Omega.
"I apologize, Luna-"
But the Luna quickly grabbed the potion from her without a word.
Rhea asks softly, "Is there anything else you need, Luna?"
Luna Catherine looked Rhea up and down, her expression showing clear disapproval of Rhea's presence. Even though Rhea was unaware of the reason.
"You can leave now," Luna Catherine then slammed the door shut.
Just as Rhea was about to return to the kitchen, she stopped in her tracks when she came face to face with Alpha Killian. He's looking at her with intense blue eyes.
'I thought he was supposed to return tomorrow!' Rhea was speechless.
"What are you doing in my mate's room?"
Alpha Killian voice thoroughly chilly. Rhea was already timid, but her fear just grew as she saw his intense gaze. He seemed intent on killing her.
Her lips were somewhat moist and red, and Killian did his best to avoid staring at them when she bit her lip.
"Luna Catherine requested tea, Alpha." Rhea avoiding eye contact with him.
When Rhea felt she had answered all of the questions, she bowed to the Alpha and walked past him.
Killian caught her just as she was about to reach the stairs. "Wait"
When Rhea heard heavy footsteps coming up behind her, she froze.
"Have you taken your pills?"
The moment Alpha Killian handed that pill to her, she immediately took it.
"That birth control pill I gave you. Tell me you drank it."
"Yes, Alpha. I have swallowed it"
'I wish that night—when Alpha Killian, who was drunk, coerced her into having sex—had never occurred.'
Alpha Killian already had Luna, and she was simply an omega and an orphan.
"Good. I don't want a baby from an omega."
Standing in stark contrast to the Alpha before her, she felt her status was severely diminished. Alpha Killian had numerous pack members, including her. And Rhea would not be swayed by her naive expectations.
"Do not come too close to my Luna. You understand? And Look at me when I'm talking to you."
"I understand, Alpha"
He walked away while Rhea remained there. Sadness welled up in her green eyes as she gazed at his towering stature and broad back.
