Chapter 8
That porridge made me newly alive since I didn’t eat anything a few days ago. My legs were not longer
weaken as I walked down the stair.
I didn't bring anything with me. Nothing in the room truly belonged to me anyway.
A maid saw me while I reached the corner, raised her eyebrows and said, "Finally come out. Hurry up
and go to work!"
I ignored her rude words and walked away.
"You stupid wench! Ignore me? You’re just a rogue’s mate!" The maid scolded behind me, but I still kept
smiling sarcastically.
After a few steps, another person stopped me.
It was Mila, Vanessa's loyal dog who always bullied me.
"Where are you going?" She raised her chin and looked at me arrogantly, "Find your lowly mate?"
"Get out of my way." I said coldly, clenching my fists.
She sneered, raised her hand to block me, "No way! I won't let you go, what can you do?"
I stared at her, eyes full of anger. she raised her hand and was about to push me, I slapped her hand
away, and warned again, "Get out of my way!"
"How dare you resist me!" Mila shouted angrily, and then slapped me hard.
A hard power whap!
Mila was stunned since I didn’t dodge her slap. She looked at her hands, and then at my puffed
cheeks.
My cheek tingled from the slap.
"It...It...You asked for it!" she said, blinking constantly. The nervous and flustered on her face turned
into calmness gradually.
I covered my face and stared at her. She took two steps back with a flustered look and said, "What?
Isn't it right to teach you a lesson? You should thank me!"
As she said that, as if she wanted to find confidence for herself and prove that she was right, she
waved to the maid and said, "Come here and slap her twice." Content © NôvelDrama.Org 2024.
The maid looked at Mila hesitantly, and Mila darted an impatient look at the maid, "What are you afraid
of? Alpha Vanessa will definitely protect us, just do it!"
The maid became bolder after getting the guarantee. There was a resounding slap as she struck me
violently across the face.
I was already weak and felt dizzy. I lost my balance and fell backwards to hit the railing of the stairs.
The warm blood flowed down my forehead. My eyes went dark, and I almost passed out. But the
wound of my wrist suddenly pained me and my mind struggled to escape from the darkness as the
tingling settled all over my body.
I took a deep breath and reminded myself of my decision.
I needed to leave now!
Everyone could give up me, but I could not!
Mila and the maid were completely panicked this time. After all, I was Alpha's daughter, and I was not
someone they could bully at will.
"Tsk... I'll let you go first this time. If you dare to speak out this matter, Alpha Vanessa will definitely not
let you go." Mila said in a trembling voice, and then left in a hurry with the maid.
I lay on the ground like a motionless corpse, but the sharp pain of my body reminded me that I was still
alive.
I desperately got up from the ground, leaned on the wall and walked out of the villa relying on my last
sobriety.
I never thought that this short distance would be so far and difficult, as if every step was stepped on a
knife.
But when I thought about being free, my body would burst out with infinite strength to support me.
With one last effort, I finally left this hell on earth that had trapped me for nineteen years.
This time, no one could stop me.
When I took the first step out pack house, I felt like I came alive.
I took a final glance at the pack house, the place in which I had lived for 19 long years. Then I spun on
my heel and ran into the forest.
I had been walking through the forest half the night. It was almost dawn, yet I was still unable to catch
Blake’s scent anywhere.
But I would not give up!
I sat down against a big tree, planning to rest for a short while. I knew I wasn’t at my best physically. I
was dizzy because I had been fasting for a long time and my blood had been drawn.
Not long after I settled myself against the tree, I heard loud rustling coming from the bushes nearby.
Following that, some crows flew overhead, and a brown wolf pounced on me. Under the bright
moonlight, I saw the wolf’s features clearly.
It was Vanessa’s bodyguard!
I tried to find somewhere to hide in a panic. But the wolf bit my shoulder quickly and threw me against a
tree.
I heard my waist bone crack, and I fell to the floor, getting a face full of dirt.
The brown wolf turned toward me slowly, his red eyes glaring straight into mine.
“Why... Why are you trying to kill me?” I asked in a trembling voice.
“Idiot! I’m not the one who wants you dead. I only heed my owner’s instructions,” he said.
“No...Impossible. She won't let me die…” I said weakly. Even though Vanessa hated me, I knew that
her biggest fear was my death. If I died, she would lose my blood, which was the only thing that was
keeping her alive.
The brown wolf roared in laughter. “Do you think that she still needs your blood to keep herself alive?”
I was shocked by that. My heart was in my mouth, “What do you mean?”
“Her disease was cured three years ago! She’s been pretending to be sick since then so that she could
suck your blood dry!” The brown wolf replied, licking his sharp teeth with his rough-looking tongue. He
kept creeping closer to me with a fierce glint in his eyes. “Now, it’s time for you to die!”
He smacked me onto the floor, causing me to spit out a mouthful of blood.
The pain made me unable to say a word. I panted heavily, and everything around me started to blur.
‘Am I dying?’ I thought dully.
I should be dying... Why else would it hurt so much?
I failed once more…
I couldn’t even save myself…
But it was good that I didn't die in that horrible place. It was a pity that I wasn’t able to say goodbye to
Blake…
I closed my eyes slowly, my breathing growing weak.
Perhaps the Moon Goddess pitied me and decided to grant me a favor. In my daze, I seemed to catch
glimpses of a black figure standing before me.
He smelt a lot like Blake.
Was he?
Or a hallucination?
I wondered groggily, losing consciousness not long after.
