Nyra's POV:
"I knew you would come back."
This warm voice sounded so familiar, I couldn't mistake it for anyone other than madam Daphne.
"I…I…I, I was, I was just..."
Beads of sweat gathered on my forehead as I started trying to give an explanation as to why I was out hiding by this time I open my mouth to talk what no words could come out.
"Save your words child, tell me everything once we are inside. But for now let's try to keep out of sight, come with me I know a secret passageway."
I was thankful to the moon goddess for bringing madam Daphne to save me. She always looks at me with warmth in her eyes as a mother would to her child, reminding me of my mom.
"Maybe this place isn't so bad afterall."
Madame Daphne took me through the back of the building and she opened a secret door leading down to the basement.
I saw her bring out a bunch of keys tied to the hem of her blouse as she fiddled with the lock in an attempt to unlock the door. We went down quickly, walking on the tip of our toes trying to reduce the creaking sound made by the woods with each step we took.
Once we got down to the basement, madame Daphne brought out another bunch of keys and she led the way upstairs. She opened the door and the kitchen view came into sight.
I sighed out loudly releasing the breath I didn't know I had been holding. I felt so relieved to be back into the building I tried so hard to escape from hours ago.
"Thank you madam Daphne." I said with all sincerity from my heart. She smiled while nodding her head.
"Now go retire to your room. We will talk about the reason for your adventure tomorrow."
I nodded as I exited the kitchen heading to my room, once I got into my room I closed the door behind me as I heaved another sigh of relief.
"Red eyes." I still can't get him off my mind, I wanted so much to inhale his scent again I closed my eyes as his deep voice resounded in my ears.
"Who could he be?" He seemed to avoid that question. He has an Aura of a powerful Alpha Lord, could he be an Alpha from another Pack?
I discarded those thoughts as I laid on my bed, the bruises on my legs were already gone so I closed my eyes to get some sleep.
"I must see him again."I told myself before finally drifting off to sleep.
★ ★ ★ ★ ★
I woke up to the sounds of birds chirping as the sun was just about to rise, I stood drowsily from the bed, sleep still evident in my eyes.
I had slept late last night as I still couldn't get over those pair of red eyes, and here I am thinking about them yet again.
It was a beautiful morning, a new day to start a new life in a new pack but what is life going to feel like here? With no freedom to train and to get stronger, my chances of revenge are very slim.
I hardly took my bath, dried myself and I played lotion on my body in order for me to resume my duties immediately so as not to be seen as a lazy maid. I needed to get madam Daphne to like me much. She seems to know this building like the back of her palm.
I took the hair brush by the dressing table and began brushing my hair fully knowing that this was going to slow me down as I paid much attention to my hair.
I held my hair up, tying it in a bun. "As a maid, your hair is not allowed to flow down past your shoulder length or to be seen dangling across your face." Madam Daphne had said.
I put on my second pair of maid's uniform, wore my shoes and dashed out immediately heading towards the direction of the kitchen.
There I met madam Daphne who seemed to be giving two other maids instructions and I waited for her to finish so as not to interrupt her.
"Good morning madam Daphne," I greeted immediately she dismissed the other girls.
"Oh child, I didn't see you standing there." Her lips curved into a smile.
"Come sit." She directed me to a wooden stool beside her.
"We haven't introduced ourselves formally yet, why don't we start but you telling me your name and a little bit about yourself before I assign you your maid's duties."
"Oh…okay, there isn't really much to know about me." I smiled awkwardly.
"Why don't we start with your name and pack first." She suggested.
"Okay, my name is Nyra, and I originally belong to the wolf's claw Pack before my pack and family were invaded and killed by the Nightshade Pack, I was lucky to have escaped the attack, and was afterwards taking in by a group of rogues. Unfortunately your pack's warriors invaded and destroyed everything. I wasn't lucky to have escape this time."
I quickly added trying not to bring back painful memories.
"Oh dear, I'm so sorry about the pains we caused you." She said with sincerity evident in her eyes.
"You know, Alpha Darius coronation is at the corner and luna Zaria wants his name to be known far and wide before crowning him as Alpha."
"What? That's just a dumb excuse for killing." I immediately blurted out.
"I know child, but don't say that today hearing of others if you don't want to be in trouble." Madam Daphne warned.
"Now, tell me about your little adventure yesterday."
