Jennifer's POV :

She turned her head when she was done. "Is it? I just roasted the steak, substitute of blood and else was made by Emily."

"Steak was cooked really well. I like it that way." I really did prefer half cooked so it was not a lie.

"Thank you so much, you're not bad as I thought." I caught her murmuring under her breath.

"Well thanks, but why you'd think I was bad?" I arched questioning brow at her.

She shrugged in response, "I-I don't know." Liar, her eyes said she wasn't saying truth. She just didn't wanted me to know it yet. Like I care what she thinks of me.

Curling edges of my hair, "You are the only one who works here?" I tried asking general questions.

"No there are many but we are assigned, like I am to Master, Master Samuel." Light in her eyes and blood rushing to her cheek as she finished with name of Samuel. Well, can't deny the fact, Samuel is indeed charming and mysterious which attracts every women. If not for killing my father, I would have given into to the lust and attraction I feel towards him.

"Okay. What's your name?" I asked her. She hesitated for moment but said it anyway, "M-Maria." I heard movements outside and my cue to finish the conversation, "See you around Maria. Thanks for the food." I told her in low possible voice. Just as she opened her mouth to reply me, door to room, flung open and there stood Samuel looking at us.

I smiled at him appreciatively for letting me have food and proper room.

"Looks like you're enjoying your time being my slave."

I put my head down not meeting his eyes, "I guess."

I could hear him chuckle, maybe my little act of submission was making him happy. Smile was spreading on my lips as well when as I thought he might put his guards down thinking everything's going according to his plan. Well, he will know it later.

Before I killed him, I need to meet this King Ethan, because the way Sam had put it the other day, Looked like he was ordered to Kill my father and I think, even the voice I heard in when I was unconscious, It must be him. Because the way Samuel is treating me, I can say it wasn't him and the voice that I heard was deeper and venom filled towards my family. I wonder, why did Samuel not kill me? There has to be some reason and bringing me to his own room was increasing my suspicion, did he wanted me to side with him to help fulfil motive of some kind or use me as bait?

"Where have you lost my slave?" He held my jaw tightly that my mouth opened as he sat on his knees looking directly into my eyes.

His behaviour angered me and word, 'slave' even more, however I had to keep it calm and dance on the chords he decides to play, "Just thinking why you have kept me alive and treating me nicely?" I said in sickly sweet tone, paused and then asked again before he gave me a proper answer, "Or you just want to have some fun, fucking my mind?" I arched a brow suspiciously, feigning offense.

He chuckled lightly and winked after saying, "I shall let you find out yourself."

Standing to his feet, he made his way to his wardrobe searching for his clothes I assume, "Jennifer?" He called tilting his head to look at me from behind the open door, I snapped my head in direction, uninteresting to know what does he have to say now, "I hold no ill will towards you or there is no specific motive to keep you here like this."

If there is no motive then why the hell is he keeping me here? Is it because if he leaves me I will come back with an army and kill each of them and make every one aware of their intentions but then again why can't he just kill me and therefore the mess is cleared. There has to be something else.

I was baffled that I don't understand any of it but to my dismay I had no other choice to wait and watch until I know myself. He said no bad motives for me then what is it? One moment he is rude and aggressive, where he tries to dominate me and in next moment he tries to behave nicest person which I do not believe he is.

I was eaten and freshened up, so there was no point to wait for him to get done with his bath. I made myself comfortable again, pulling the sheets to cover my body fully so he won't be able to touch me even if he tries to except that of my face. I even tied my hair in bun so there was reason to come closer to me. He was enemy and he stays that way until I find some way to contact my klatch members and get his complete klatch killed. Specifically, his brother being my first priority to kill and followed by Samuel and any person who is part of this conspiracy plotted against my father. My heart welled with sadness for my lost father; I couldn't even see him for the last time and attend his funeral. It was all because this man who decided to take me with him but it's for good, everything happens for good. I tried to console myself, reasoning out. Now he's going to regret this decision of keeping me alive, I will make his life mess. Few tears had managed to fell down on pillow but I wiped them up. Anger and need to take revenge took place in my heart and mind. Only their blood will be the thing that will make me happy and to reign his klatch which is biggest of all. We just wanted to live in peace but all they wanted to back stab us, Now it is my time that I showed him what is to be felt like being back stabbed. I will have to gain trust of Samuel and then I will fire when he is expecting it least. I will have to behave pretty princess like girl who is delicate, broken and scared; exactly opposite of what I am in reality.

As Samuel stepped out of bathroom, I tried calming down my breathing and wiped the angry tears which were falling freely. I inwardly smiled, sometimes a weakness comes handy, I always disliked that my anger either fell through my eyes unless I punished the person who had caused it. My tears were never sign of weakness which my friends misunderstood; it was because I just couldn't kill him as they are my friend for the pain they caused me. Well, it is vulnerability in some sense but more of anger directed towards the person.

More tears built as I saw him looking himself in a mirror all happy and cool when my father is dead, my klatch was mourning and might be even disoriented all because this single person breathing in front of me without any care. It was very difficult for me to hold myself back to just not sink my teeth in his back and rip every single part of his body, spread them on floor and jump on it. I might sound like lunatic but imagining all blood stained floor made me feel better.

I glanced him for last time capturing his image in my mind and shut my eyes tightly before I turned my head other side where I could see him no more, chains jingled in process. Also, I needed to hide myself as all of this pent up anger inside me had shifted my eyes to their true-self, being hybrid.

There was tension in air, which I think Samuel noticed too since I heard his footsteps nearing to the side of bed where I was sleeping. I could feel his gaze on my back however he said nothing, his form lingered for few more seconds before leaving bedroom entirely in one swift motion.

Was that pity? Did he see tear soaked pillow and noticed my heavy breathes which I failed to control? I believe this might be the case. He must be thinking that I am crying and weak, which is actually a good thing. This thoughts implanted in his head will help me make my way easier to trap him in an emotional cage where rules will be mine.

I took off the blanket, breathing free air deeply and trying to calm my riled up mind. All I wanted right now was to scream or at least shift into my wolf form and run the miles in forest; but this is not a right time, I must not take a risk, even though I am far from weak however I can't fight all of them alone. They have numbers which I lack and doing any such thing will be stupid on my side. Heaving a sad sigh, I closed my eyes to let sleep consume me and pass another day in my enemy's klatch without killing them.
