Chapter 171

Chapter 171:

“How come I haven’t seen it before?” I murmured, admiring the marigold that sat in my hand.

“It’s in the garden.”

“This garden is my favourite place in the castle, but I’ve never come across a marigold flower. How did you find it so effortlessly?”

“As I said, I’m the gardener. Can I show you around? You seem bored,” he offered, taking my hand in his.

“I would love to,” I squeaked, unable to hide my excitement. Finally, something to feed my eyes with.

“Sorry to pry, but don’t you have friends?” he asked, causing me to sigh.

“I do, but she’s busy. Her name is Alex, and she works here. She comes to me whenever she’s free. Most times, I might not see her for days, but it doesn’t upset me. I understand the nature of her job.” My sad voice uttered as my mind drifted to Alex. She would be cleaning Damon’s chambers by now. Poor Alex.

I couldn’t wait to see Alex. The last time we met was the day she showed me to my new room. Work tied her down. Luckily, I had Damon to ease my boredom. But Damon wasn’t always around. He had the packs’ affairs to attend to.

“Since you have me now, I’ll always make myself available,” Ray broke the silence with his reassuring words. His words made me melt as my emotions got the best of me. Thanks to pregnancy hormones.

“That’s so sweet of you, thank you, Ray.”

“It’s the least I could do. I always want to make people around me happy.”

We walked past many flowers in silence, making our way deeper into the heart of the garden, away from sight. I had never been in this part of the garden. An uncomfortable feeling ran down my spine, but I shrugged it off.

Ray wasn’t a bad person. He just wanted to show me around, to take away my boredom. His simplicity drew me closer to him.

Despite how relaxed I felt around Ray, I couldn’t help but feel paranoid. Was someone after me?

My breath quickened when I sensed the bushes rustle behind me. I turned sharply, but no one came into view. I wanted to reassure myself that everything was under control, but my instincts were screaming otherwise.

“Run, Aurora!” A voice echoed in my head, but it was too weak. I almost couldn’t hear it.

Was that my wolf? Why did she sound so desperate? Was she awake? The last time we communicated was when my Alpha seed awakened. “Leave!” Leave?

But Ray wanted to show me around. There was no way I would leave. She couldn’t just give me orders after staying silent for so many months.

I shrugged off the uneasy feeling and continued walking with Ray.

Ray halted, leaning in closer to me.

“You are very beautiful, ma’am. You don’t deserve to be here,” he blurted in a dangerously low voice.

My forehead creased in confusion at his sudden shift in tone. “Thank you,” I replied, moving away from his grip. “I just feel sorry that you’re a breeder. In a few months, I won’t get to see you again. I’m so sorry about your fate,” he sniffled, his voice wavering as if he was about to break into tears.

Before I could fully process what was happening, his hands fondled my breasts while his lips claimed my cheeks. She was panting heavily now, her breaths coming fast and uneven. Her eyes were darkened with desire, and I could smell the unmistakable scent of her arousal.
