Chapter 10: Chapter - 10 : Caught By The Twins

(Faedra's Pov).

I stared at the familiar man in relief and shock. “Alpha Zed,” I said in disbelief. The Alpha himself had saved me. My heart was racing, my hair was messy, and my clothes torn. Dried tears were on my face as I thought about what would've happened to me had the alpha not pulled the man off. I pulled my arms up to cover my exposed body part as the man had ripped my shirt and skirt and left me in my underwear.

“Faedra” I bit my lips and refused to look at him. I could hear the surprise in his voice, I didn't expect him to still remember me or my name. After all, we had only met once, and he was the pack alpha, I was just a maid in the manor.

“A…alpha Zed.” I heard another voice. It was the man who had tried to assault me. He immediately went on his knees and bowed In front of the alpha, “I… I didn't know she was yours, forgive me, Alpha Zed, I… I thought she was a worker here, I… I would never touch what is yours,” he blabbered nervously.

“Faedra, look at me,” Alpha Zed said in a commanding tone, ignoring the man who kept apologizing and begging for forgiveness on the ground. I slowly raised my head to meet his deep brown eyes. He had a displeased look on his face and he moved towards me. My heart began to race faster as I didn't know his intentions towards me.

Was he going to punish me?

Or report me to the manager and have me fired…

I watched him take off his coat in fright and was dumbfounded when he placed it on me. “Take this,” he whispered, and I blinked, my lashes wet with tears.

He suddenly pulled me close and scooped me up in his arms, my lips parted in surprise. “A…alpha Zed.” I glanced up at him, meeting his gaze as he stared at me with a blank face. The Alpha was carrying me in his arms, his face was so close, and he looked more attractive from up close.

“Hang on” was all he said. He walked out of the VIP section, ignoring the man on the ground.

I stayed in his arms, completely still, not making a sound as I couldn't believe what was happening. We arrived In front of a door on the upper floor, and the guards stationed there opened the door upon sighting the alpha. They stared at me suspiciously, and I held the alpha shirt, trying to hide my face, which was growing red.

The room was wide and grand. It was one of the rooms specially made for VIPs, I had never been on this floor or in this room. Alpha Zed set me carefully on the queen-sized soft bed. I held his coat tighter as I tried to cover myself. “Stay here,” he said and left the room.

I sat there uncomfortable as I didn't know what the alpha planned to do.

Why do bad things always happen to me?! I thought bitterly. I had tried to stay out of people's business and stay unnoticed yet, trouble was always following me.

I thought about the waiter who pushed the tray into my hands and sent me up to the VIP section. It did look suspicious, was I set up? Was this all planned…

Just then, the door opened, and the alpha walked into the room with what looked like a first aid kit. “You have an injury on your left leg,” he said before I could even say anything. I looked at my left leg and was surprised to see that I was bleeding, I was too caught up and distracted with what was happening to even notice the little injury on my leg.

“It doesn't hurt.” My voice was a bit hoarse, but the alpha ignored what I said and knelt In front of me, taking my leg to tend to my injury.

“A…alpha Zed,” I called out in surprise, he was the alpha, he couldn't be kneeling for me and tending to my wounds.

“How did you get yourself in this mess?” He ignored my protest, gently rubbing what looked like a brown oil on the surface of the injury. “What are you doing here, why are you in the red-light district and not the manor?" His question made me remember Roxy, he must've not known that I had been kicked out a week ago. “I now work here.”

He finally looked up at me and frowned. “This is no place for a girl like you to work,” he said in a warning tone.

Of course, I knew that. I didn't want to work in a bar, but I didn't have a choice. I couldn't stay homeless, especially in winter.

“If I hadn't shown up, you know what that” he paused, “you know what he would have done to you?” I blinked, trying not to let the tears that were threatening to fall, fall.

“Why did you leave the manor?”

“I didn't leave," I mumbled. “I… I was kicked out”

“By who? I personally invited you to the manor, who dared to kick you out?”

“Roxy.”

“Roxy?” he repeated and I nodded.

“The head maid?”

“Yes. I was accused of ruining your clothes with hot water and wasn't given a chance to defend myself. She said I…I wasn't wanted at the manor, and I was thrown out a week ago. I found a woman who gave me a leaflet and told me that the bar was hiring. I didn't have much of a choice, I had no money and nowhere to go. I could only accept and work here,” I explained to the Alpha, and he finally let go of my leg but remained on his knees In front of me.

“I-”

“Zed!" I heard a voice that made me stiffen. The door was pushed open, and my eyes widened as I saw who stood in front of the door.

Two tall men with domineering auras suddenly entered the room, startling the alpha and me. I flinched at the sight of the two familiar dark-haired men who entered the room.

Their gray eyes met my teary dark one, a look of shock flashed on their faces but was replaced with anger. They bared their fangs at me. I stood up from the bed in panic and fear, attempting to get as far away from them as possible, but they both launched at me and had me pinned down before I could move.

They stared at my tummy, and I heard Castor and Shade growl in unison, “Our pups.”
