After being escorted back to the bedroom by two guards, I decided it would be better to take my mind of the event that just happened back in the office. Seeing death right in front of you can have terrible side effects.

Obviously, I would know the consequence of killing.

However, seeing someone else so inconsiderate and brutal killing an innocent person is painful to watch.

That guard did not deserve the fate he just received. In fact, I think Kase deserved worse.

How could he think I’m his weakness?

We’ve barely met!

I hissed angrily as the image of his grey eyes flew through my mind.

Ugh.

I stood up walking around the room.

I need to get him out of my head and focus on my escape plan.

Maybe if I run away successfully I should go to Europe or anywhere far away from Kase.

Maybe Brazil?

I heard a knock on the wooden door and out of courtesy, beckoned the person into the room.

Anna stood patiently by the door with her arms behind her back.
 
“Can I help you with anything, Miss Naomi?”

I could do with some more books and some food I thought.

“Yeah. It wouldn’t be any trouble for you to get some more books and perhaps some food too?” I said respectfully.

“Not a problem at all, Miss.” She smiled before stepping back into the hallway; making sure the door was sealed tight.

I laid down on bed and started staring into the ceiling. I closed my eyes thinking about everything that happen to me these past couple of days.

My life has turned upside-down completely.

Who would have ever figured that my mate would be no one but Alpha King?

Although he’s the only person that can stop my curse, I’m positive that even when he finds out about the cure, he wouldn’t help me.

While Anna was out getting the books and food, I figured it would be a good time to use the bathroom and shower.

I entered the bathroom only be stared at by my own reflection standing right in front of me.

I was eerily thin I thought.

Perhaps it was because of the lack of food I’ve had to suffice with over the past 2 months. My eyes had sunken deep into my skull and dark circles were embedded under my eyes.

I gave a small smile to myself before I continued to use the bathroom.

Minutes later and feeling slightly refreshed, I paced out of the bathroom with a towel wrapped securely around my body and hair.

The food I had ask for was laid out perfectly on a white table cloth as well as several different books ranging from thin, small books to much larger and older books.

I quickly changed and sat myself by the fireplace so that my hair could dry. Anna looked at me sadly.

“Is everything alright, Miss Naomi?” Something about her made me feel better.

I do not know whether it was her friendly smile or the fact that she been the only one in a while that has been nice to me.

“I am trapped in King’s castle. I’m his mate and for some reason, he hates me. So, no I don’t think everything is alright.” I blurted.

I had a feeling I could trust Anna, I know she’s a maid but she looks like she’s been through the lot with this family.

“Naomi, I know that it is probably hard to accept everything all at once, but it will get better I promise.” She said gently and added; “In the meantime what do you think about some brownies and tea?"

My smile widen as I heard the word brownies. I haven’t eaten them in at least few years.

I ate my food slowly, taking my time with each bite and enjoying the sweet taste of the food in my mouth.

By the end of it, I was so full.

I decided to sleep it off.

After what seems like hours of sleeping peacefully than I have in months, I figured it would be useful to see the books that Anna had decided to bring for me.

‘The history of the King’s Castle”

Well…. That sounds super boring.
The second book was smaller and it looked a lot older with a title “The list of Vindicta Pack’s alphas”.

I rolled eyes remembering learning about this in my pack.

According to our pack, they were all crazy as fuck. 

Nonetheless, one book caught my eye. The book was a purple hardback and had golden embroidery surrounding the cover of the book.

  ‘Diary’ was written on the front cover. The book had doodles and small drawings of stickmen and small flowers that was likely drawn from a child.

I turned the page and saw a name scribbled in a child’s handwriting that read ‘Katrina Ryder’.

The sister of the King.

My eyes widen as I realised that this must be her diary.

Anna must have taken this by mistake.

Imagine the trouble she would get in if he found out about this.

Then again, it’s already done. A little peak can’t hurt anyone, right?

I scanned the diary already noticing spelling mistakes a child could make.

Carefully, I opened the diary to a random page and began reading.

January 09th 2001

‘Dear diary, today I heard mama screaming again, and papa was yelling at her. Kase told me that they are just fighting and I hope everything will be alright.

February, 2nd 2001

‘Dear diary, dad hurt Kase today. He was trying to defend mum from dad. I am so scared and I saw blood on Kase’s face! I don’t want him to die!

April  19th 2001

Dear diary, Anna has good fashion sense and dressed me in a pretty blue dress.
She is nice and not mean like the dance instructor. Anna is the best person in the whole wide world. I played hide and seek with Kase.
“I don’t wanna play hide and seek.”
“Well I’ll tell Mama and Papa if you don’t.”  I said. Kase got scared and played with me.
I began counting and I looked everywhere for him.  I heard mama and papa shouting again.
Me being the bad girl, saw what was happening
“I didn’t do anything,” My mama said. She was crying.
Papa’s voice boomed through the room suddenly.
He shouted the same stuff as he always did but this time it was different, he said 
“I love you. And yet I cannot stand you no further. You need to go. It would be the best for both of us. I need to do what everyone expects me to do as King and I can’t with you being around.”
Papa saw me.  Papa looked at me, his eyes flashed with rage.
He walked towards me and he----

My eyes flooded with tears. I could no longer see. I sobbed harder and covered my mouth to hide the cries.
Who in the right audacity would even consider touching their mate or children like that?

I could think one bastard right now.
I cried harder.

The tears kept coming. I guess it was the right time to just let it all out. The feeling of isolation, betrayal from my pack, sadness all was becoming overwhelming. 

Just before I let out another sob, Kase trespasses through the room, his authority booming through the entrance.

“Mutt, it is time for you spend your first night in the cell. I suggest you…. ” He finished and glanced at me.

His eyes stared deeply at the book that I gripped tightly.

“What are you doing with that book?” His nose was now flaring uncontrollably.

I didn’t answer.

“WHAT ARE YOU DOING WITH THAT BOOK?” His hands began clenching into fists.

His irises grew pitch black as he began walking closer towards me.

I closed my eyes, expecting impact from him in seconds but only heard the crash of the walls being smashed. Huge pieces that belonged to the walls were scattered everywhere around the room, i could smell blood and opened my eyes almost immediately.

He stood there, back faced towards me. His shoulders hunched and breathing heavily.

His hand dripped with blood and soon the blood was covering a small patch of the floor.

That was it, he walked out of the bedroom.

I heard him speak to someone, probably a guard.

“Take her to the cell. Now.”
