Chapter 33
HAILEY STEWARTS
"Urgh" I whine, rising sluggishly from the bed and caressing my throbbing head, the events of the night flowing through me in waves. Patting the bed spot it was empty, void of Jaden Perry.
Let the games begin.
This was a good shot to find information about the crown and pay back my mother's murders.
There's a knock on the door which opens without my response.
I hold the bed sheet tighter naked underneath its covers.
A guard steps in placing a box on the bed.
"Alpha Jaden orders you to change into these clothes," He says in a matter-of-fact tone then exits just as abruptly as he came.
I changed into the cloth, hating them utterly but I couldn't do anything.
I need Jaden to feel he has me under his control, the most painful attacks are the ones you don't see coming.
The guard knocked outside again, signifying my ride was here raising my head high. I tug the gown as low as I possibly could bracing myself as I walk through the door.
To my surprise, it's no guard outside the door. A chirpy blonde smiled calmly at me, his eyes not once raking down my body making him like him.
"I'm Elijah" He introduces stretching his hand, I take it clasping it in a handshake.
His smile grows for a reason I can't tell.
"I'm Hailey," I say simply, having this feeling for some reason I've met him before.
"I know who you are, Hailey," He says my name In the most pleasant way, like we hadn't just met but we'd known each other for a long time.
"I hope you can take it easy on Jaden he's a dick ninety percent of the time"
"I'll give him a ninety-eight" I murmur under my breath, folding my lips and realizing what I just did but Elijah doesn't seem the least bothered laughing gleefully as we walk out of the building. He opens the car door.
"Ma'am" He smiles, tipping an invincible hat, making me smile as I walk into the car.
The ride to the pack house was relaxing. Elijah makes small talk about the weather, the song that was being played on the radio, or the buildings we drove past.
When we arrive I don't wait for him to open the door. I stand for a moment staring at the house hating the fact I'll be bound by the walls once more.
"You got this champ" Elijah encourages, "Just keep your head up it's that easy"
"Thank you it was nice meeting you"
"Same here take care Hailey" Taking a deep breath I walk into the pack house.
"Well look what we have here" oh right how could I forget the luna of the pack?
Riley looks the same but now wearing makeup that does nothing to hide her ugly nature as she glares at me.
"The slave has arrived how convenient, we have missed someone doing all the chores around the house "
"Riley you watch your tone with me you don't want to get me pissed" I warn her looking at her square in the eyes.
"I think you've forgotten the last time you made empty treats I showed you your place maybe a little scrubbing around the house will teach you to mind your tone with me" "What are you so scared of Riley if you have Jaden in your claws then you shouldn't be bothered I've returned"
"Me? bothered? Tch" she scoffs "I'm the one carrying his child"
"Last time I checked hoes get pregnant for their master"
"You're the hoe in this equation Hailey"
"No Riley dear Jaden is my mate the mark on my shoulder proves this"
Her eyes gaze at the bite marks and her eyes widen dumbfounded as she stares at the mark.
"Did I just show you your place in the equation?" I whispered, turning to leave.
"Don't forget Hailey I'm the one to be his luna he marked you big whoop he tied you to him doesn't mean he's yours, you need to mark him to make him yours, Hailey you can relish in the mark all you want I'll still be number one and you "Well, then Luna, why did he go through all the trouble to get me back here? Why am I ordered to go to his room to wait for him? An opportunity you never got you were only there to satisfy his sexual-
"How dare you!" She flares, raising her hand which I catch mid-air gripping her arm hard.
"If you ever raise your hand to me I'll break it I'm sure that's not what you want for you and your child". Dropping her hand, I turn away walking past the crowd that stayed to watch the show to Jaden's room.
I close the door finding the room empty, I hurry to search the drawers, cupboard, and shelves to find any clue about the crown but It's futile.
The room is void of any information.
Someone knocks outside the door running my hand through my hair trying to keep my composure while sitting on the bed.
"Come in," I say fully aware it isn't Jaden at the door he wouldn't knock.
He strides in his boots and stomps noiselessly into the room grinning at me.
"What are you doing here?" I shout mad standing from the bed.
He shuts the door swiftly, raising his fingers to his lips and shushing me.
"Is that how you welcome me child"
"You're not welcome here Aitch," I say sitting back on the chair he stares at me stunned. I dare to use his first name.
"Angel looks like you've forgotten your training"
"I remember all of it, especially the part you sold me"
"It was an opportunity I saw to get you back easily to the house so you can complete your pledge to the badlands"
"I owe you nothing," I say sternly. I could tell he was lying; he had no idea Jaden was behind Madam Von's visit.
"I know you're mad at me Angel but remember Jaden is the enemy here"
"Not the only enemy" I roll my eyes after the conversation.
"I just need a blood sample of Jaden that's all" he urges. "Why?" I am confused.
What the hell would he need Jaden's blood sample for?
The door bangs open Jaden strides In making my heart race.
