Chapter seventeen

Chapter seventeen.

Myra's pov

With the soft morning glow perching on my skin. The ray of the sun escaped the tiny Window which illuminated the dreaded prison we were placed in.

I was covered in sweat as I had just woken up from the same nightmare that has always haunted me since the death of my parents.

My parents, I almost forgot the vow I made to make my parents' killer suffer deadly. But where am I even supposed to start from,I had no idea and was completely dishevelled.

Honey, I shaked armani who was still fast asleep.

"I still want to sleep mummy, allow me". She whined earning a big smile from me as I let her be.

She was my only hope, and my greatest plan was to escape from this place, from Wilfred forever. Even though this thought brought a lot of pain I still had to endure.

I really wonder what happened to wilfred. He was very sweet and all I wanted in a man until two years ago.

"Myra, I promise to always love you no Matter what. It's me and you against the world".she could remember his promises and the good memories like it just happened yesterday.

He would always tell her about how he would protect her and tell them to have a baby once they get married.

Tears threatened to fall from her eyes but she blinked fiercely to clear them.

She was engrossed in the past memories but was suddenly interrupted by the clanking of the heavy chains against the bars of the prison that was used to lock her up.

It was Landon.

"The alpha has ordered the release of you and your child, you are to work diligently and prepare Luna for the official mating ceremony".

"Why"? I asked, obviously annoyed.

"Myra", he called out my name with clenched teeths.

"Who are you to ask me questions huh"?

"I think I deserve to know why you and your alpha keep tossing me and my kid around. Why don't you have any conscience? My voice quavered in dissatisfaction.

"Have you forgotten what happened the last time you decided to become a chatterbox, do you want to go back to the basement. Do you want to be executed,this time for real". He asked me several questions after questions.

His voice was a little high which kept me on the edge, and it woke my little armani up.

"Mummy, why is this bad man here again, is he here to end our lives now".

I quickly put my hands around her mouth to stop her from talking. Before she gets things to a point that it will be irrevocable.

"Landon, i really appreciate what you are doing for me and my child. I promise to be of good behaviour". I put in a fake smile to further convince him.

He took in a very deep breath while grabbing his hair in frustration. He then opened the cell gates.

With my hands still on armani's mouth. I came out of the cell while holding onto her. I followed him through a series of labyrinth corners while I admired the building. From the ancient walls to the marble floors that could literally reflect our image. How beautiful.

We came to a stop at a room. With heavy knocks from Landon onto the door came a beautiful young lady who reminded me of Maria.

Oh Maria my beloved, she must be worried about me, I closed my eyes absorbing the loneliness and emptiness I felt.

The young lady's eyes shone with happiness alongside a feeling I couldn't quite decipher. It was as if they were both in their little world.

"Lady Annette, his voice was gruff but low. The omega is here to stay from the alpha's order, make sure to assign works to her in preparation for the mating ceremony. He stated as anxiety formed a thick cloud around him.

Was this love, I almost laughed out loud at the thought of Landon ever having feelings for someone except himself.

"Okay" she replied with a low but melodic voice.

I rolled my eyes in irritation. "Get a room", I muttered under my breath but since I was close to them they obviously heard.

Lady Annette's face immediately turned red in embarrassment.

I could feel a burning glare towards my face.

"Oops mummy it seems you have rillled up the bad man again". I quickly put my hands over armani's mouth again, how can I forget.

I looked sideways to be greeted with Landon's side eyes. I quickly composed myself while staring at my feet in anxiety.

After a few seconds he finally spoke again.

"Lady Annette I shall take my leave now, but make sure to clean her up. She smells like a fat pig".

I scoffed in disbelief and rolled my eyes at him.

The steps of his departure could be heard before the atmosphere got filled suddenly with an eerie feeling.

Of course it was from the witch in front of me. Her countenance was no longer friendly and shy instead, it now felt like someone who has been possessed.

"Come in", she finally invited me in, where several other maids dwell.

It was like another world on its own, the room was so large and it contained more than fifty beds to be precise.

"We have just one major rule here, if you don't abide by it you will face the consequences", lady Annette declared.

"Never and I mean never walk into Luna's room without knocking on the door thrice".

I raised my brows in confusion and I could also hear armani amused expressions.

"Why should Mummy do that? It doesn't make sense. Are you all suffering from a kind of disease her little voice thundered".

"Armani, haven't I warned you enough", I reprimanded the stubborn brat I gave birth to, which made her shut her mouth immediately.

"Thank you for shutting that brat" ,she replied as I could see her true colours finally seeping out.

"She is not a brat", I almost yelled but she ignored.

"Girls, she turned towards the other girls while clapping her hands to gain their attention. We have an additional person here".

She paused before continuing, "make sure to treat them well or maybe not". She said sarcastically. Earning a resounding laughter from the girls.

"As for the rest of the rules,make sure to do them the honour".

She said before walking out.

"I heard she is a slut, slept with several men and the poor child was the result".

"Oh my!! poor child", the whispers of the girls were loud enough to be heard which kept me boiling.

The last word one of them said was what finally made me want to commit murder.
