Chapter 15 - Seize Her!

- Eliana -

"Are you coming with me?" I asked Lisa, who was busy with her hand. She was cutting the vegetable, chopping it into small pieces. I took some of the pieces, comparing the size each. How could this woman cut it into the same size for every piece? I'd never used a knife in the kitchen, so this kind of work was awesome.

She took those pieces from my hand. "Girl, you don't play with the food. And I'm not going. I only went with you on the first day. Keegan said you can walk by yourself."

"Alright." I said, leaving the house. 

I walk on the same pathway like how Lisa told me yesterday. It was a fifteen minute walk from the manor. I looked around, realizing this town was really different from my village. They even use the water pump machine. We don't use advanced tools like that in my village. Well, in my mind, there's not much I would miss. Only the beautiful forest garden where I often visit during my free time. 

I was finally ten steps away from Kara's place. But my feet were halted by the figure that appeared in my sight. Keegan. He was coming out of the house. And when I didn't really remember, I think he was wearing the same clothes as yesterday. 

Keegan saw me, he looked at me directly with those bloodshot eyes. And his face was somewhat distorted. Well, not my problem anyway. 

He gritted his teeth while having his eyes on me. Hey, I didn't do anything. 

Keegan continued with his step leaving me behind. I went towards the door, and was taken aback with the condition inside. "What is this?" The tidy goods that had been safely stored in their places, were thrown all over the room. There's herbs everywhere. Not the one that poisoned you when you touch them. I already stored the dangerous plants in the basket yesterday. Glad it wasn't touched. 

I saw Kara sitting on the corner of the room, with his knee up on her chest. Her cheeks were puffy with tears wetting them. "Kara?"

She looked at me, whipping her face with her hand. "Eliana…" She cried.

"What happened?" You know, when you found a girl crying at the corner, and how Keegan was here until minutes ago, not to mention the condition of the house. There was definitely a bad perception toward this. 

I took her hands with mine, "Kara.. Don't tell me. He forced.." 

"No!" Kara denied before I finished my sentence, and I was so glad of that. If not, that man had to die tonight.

"Not like that Eliana.. He was just.. angry somehow. With me." Kara said in her pain. 

I couldn't give her the solution if this was the problem. My love story was not so great so I could help her. I didn't say anything, and started cleaning the room. I threw away the herbs that were on the floor, swiped away everything until it was clean. I did everything, and after a moment, Kara stood up. She had finally calmed down her heart.

We had lunch together, and her condition was better than in the morning. Until the evening when they came. Stella and Rebecca. Both of the women came without knocking the door. 

"You bitch!" Rebecca was storming into the house, knocking down the door. As a female wolf, she was definitely stronger than the average.

She straightly went to Kara, slapped her on the face. "How dare you!" 

Kara, with her weak and smaller body, fell to the ground in an instant. "Kara!" I helped her stand, and that bitch Rebecca, was not enough with the violent appearance. She pushed me, trying to take Kara with her.

Her other hand pulled the hair of my friend. "Stay away," She ordered.

I'm not letting this happen. I held her hand that touched Kara's hair, pushed it away so she took a step back. 

Rebecca's eyes were penetrating me with hatred. "How dare you! A lowly slave like you touch your master body!"

I scoffed, "As I remembered, you're not my master."

Her anger was about to erupt as I answered her. But it was Stella that replied to me back. "How obnoxious! That's disrespectful behavior. Did you just deny Rebecca as your master's mate!?" 

Compared to the red-haired Rebecca, Stella was more mature and calm. Her voice was harsh when she complained, but not a single vicious action was shown. If I had to choose, I preferred dealing with a hot blooded girl like Rebecca, than a sly calming girl like her.

"You're just a slave!" Stella took a step closer and her hand pinched my chin. But I slapped her hand away as soon as her finger creased my skin, not anyone could touch me. 

She gritted her teeth, "Rebecca, I think it's the time. We should put her in her place. Like a slave to be." 

Rebecca pulled Kara away. "Then started with this one."

"Don't touch her." I was directly on her face in seconds, intimidating her in her space. When my killer mod had moved, believe me, you wouldn't even see my shadow. 

Rebecca's eyes widened, "How..?" 

"Don't touch her!" My voice was intimidating when I said that, and I hoped my words were enough for her to retreat from everything she was planning to do. 

Rebecca lost her voice, watching my movement. "Y.. You!" 

Under her stupidity, something snapped in her brain. "This is outrageous!" Rebecca pushed me back with her power. Though she had a big figure, this kind of attack was nothing for me. I easily dodge her, and pushed her back, making her body fly and bumping the counter behind her.

Stella gasped, "Rebecca!" that girl whimpered in pain as Stella helped her. 

I thought it was finished and they were going to leave. But from outside, more of male werewolves were coming into the house. They wore the same kind of uniform that I'd seen at the night of dinner banquet. The elite guards who protected the Alpha and his family. 

"Seize her!" Stella ordered.
