Why would I give birth to cubs?

Butler Max was still not convinced even after hearing what Harold said to him. If he cannot change his master's mind then all he will have to do is to inform his young master about the deal made between the girl and his master, Harold.

As if Harold already read what's going on in Butler Max's head, he ordered, "Max, don't even think about saying a word to Wade about what happened here today. If she is a witch or not, it doesn't matter! In case she is not, then she would be spared by my son. By chance, if she turned out to be one of that kind then he can decide whatever he wants to do with her. I will support his decision and will stand by him with every single step he takes in his life. Just like how I have done until now; supporting him in shades without his knowledge."

Even though Butler Max was not fully satisfied with Harold's words, he still nodded his head half-heartedly. As he could not do anything about the current situation at that moment, he decided to wait on the sidelines and be on watch. But once he finds out that anyone would be getting hurt then he would interfere immediately even if his master disagrees with him and protect his masters with his life.

As Harold noticed the change in Butler Max's face, he said, "Don't worry about anything, Max. Trust me!"

"But Master..." Butler Max hesitated a little.

"Do you really believe that I will force my son to go towards harm's way? Am I such a bad father in your eyes?" Harold questioned him.

Butler Max instantly shook his head. How could he doubt his master? He would be considered unworthy to live if he did that. Still...

'No, Master! But I can't avoid getting the feeling that you are sending someone into your son's life for your own amusement. Or am I getting it all wrong? Is it just me who is paranoid about all the noises we are hearing in this house after living in silence for so long?' Butler Max wondered but he did not voice his thoughts out aloud.

After his little chat with Butler Max, Harold did not want to go for a walk anymore in the garden. He had woken up so early because of all the commotions. So he decided to take a nap for sometime and marched towards his room.

Before entering his room, he looked at Butler Max and said, "I am going to sleep for some more time and I recommend you do that too. Because I don't think we will get any more sleep later once the drama starts!"

He then with a bright smile on his face left Butler Max in the middle of the hallway and disappeared into his room. Butler Max stood there until he could no longer see his master's back. He let out a long sigh and walked towards his room with a hunchback.

"I am sorry, young master. I tried my best to stop the master. Now it's all in your hands whether you prefer to escape from the devil's plan or get caught in the trap laid for you," He mumbled and slowly dragged his tired body towards the bed.

Meanwhile, the maid brought Mila to a nearby room after untying the ropes on her hands and legs. Mila had sprained her wrist slightly when she tried to cover her ears using her restrained hands when those wolves growled. She rubbed on the deep cut marks made by the rope on both her wrist. As the maid noticed the marks, she rushed outside and brought ointment to treat Mila's wounds.

When the maid approached and extended her hands towards Mila to apply the cream on her wrist, Mila shrieked in fright and hurriedly backed away from her. The maid smiled in understanding and said in a low voice,

"Don't worry, Ms. Mila. No one will harm you here. Since the Master agreed with you, everyone will treat you with respect from now on as you are our only hope to see our young master's cubs. We all believe in you."

The maid even winked at Mila and dropped a cute smile. Mila had to stop herself short from rolling her eyes. She had only lied to the old man to escape from that dangerous situation.

'Why would I give birth to cubs, anyway. Am I an animal?' She huffed inside her mind but kept a poker face outside.

Since they hurt her, she thought that it was only appropriate to let them take their responsibility and treat her well. So, she decided to let the maid put ointment on her wounds. Mila slowly extended her hands towards the maid.

Once the maid applied the ointment, she said in a humble tone, "Miss. Mila! Please let me know incase, if you need anything else."

Mila shook her head as she wanted the maid to leave her alone. She just had quite a scare of her life and she wanted alone time to process everything that had happened to her after she left her home.

She did not expect that she would have a very nice life after running away from the place she grew up and called home. But at least she wanted to have a peaceful mind even for a day. She now found that it would be impossible from now on going forward. She held her head down with both her hands and stared at her dirty toe.

As the maid did not get any response other than a small head shake, she unwillingly said, "I will wait right outside the door! Just in case you need me for anything, give me a call. I will be quick to meet all your demands."

After saying that, the maid did not stand in the room any longer and rushed outside. Once Mila was alone in the room, she let out the breath that she had been holding inside.

As Mila could finally breathe easily, her mind recalled that day's events while her heart got overwhelmed with all the things she had gone through. She did want to have a little adventure out in the world. But what she had experienced was a whole lot on a new level which she was not expecting at all. It was hard to digest everything that had happened to her.

"Ha… What a horrible day…" She let her body fall on the soft bed and then she closed her eyes in exhaustion.

This was not what she expected at all. who would have thought that the minute she left home, she would directly walk into trouble.

'Why is my luck so bad? What am I going to do now? How can I get out of here unscathed? I cannot give birth to his child just because I like him. What am I? A birth making machine?' She bitterly wondered.

But when she realized that it was all her idea, she felt a tinge in her heart. She hit her head on the pillow as she mumbled,

"Why did I say something like that shamelessly? If only I had come up with a better plan, then..."
