Everyone was immersed in the thoughts which did not match with each other. Lana was dead scared for her own good which was related to her future days there at the castle. Whereas the alpha Sahan was confused about her peculiar scent and the way her tears hurt him. It should not have occurred in any way if she was a normal she-wolf or a human. He could potentially sense that Lana was neither of them and it made him curious.

However, now that he had her under his clutches and his room it was easy for the alpha to know her real identity. That was why Sahan was not in a rush and needed Lana to make herself at home. The alpha wanted her to get used to living there and abide by the rules of castle. Lana still had to learn the basics of royal court and stuff since she would be accompanying him in the meet ups.

The next morning Lana was whimpering in her bed, the red quilt had grown sweaty. A few lines creased over her forehead as she shifted her head to the other side. The curtains were slightly parted and the sunlight was briefly peeking inside. The atmosphere of the room grew tense as her slight noises became audible in that grim silence. Nobody had dared to come inside yet without the permission of the alpha.

Lana’s voice became stronger as she shifted her head again in her sleep. Whereas, the alpha witnessed the whole thing and did not react to bring the terrified lady out of her sleep. Lana’s forehead became wet with the sweat and her scent grew pungent which intoxicated the alpha’ nostrils. Sahan was barely able to handle himself in the whole scene but he could not afford to jump over her and give in to his carnal instincts.

The sleeping beauty woke up due to a nightmare as she shot up and sat on the bed. Lana had been panting heavily and her neck was drenched with sweat beads. The woman had no clue why she still kept on seeing that very dream where she got stabbed in the heart. Lana began to have that dream right after she came to kingdom Selene, it did not make any sense to her but she had a hunch that maybe the dream has some meaning related to the kingdom.

She raked through her hair and looked around after catching her breath, the same intimate scene and the insulting words. Lana found Sahan sitting in front of her on the sofa, the man had been staring at her with a stone face. The lady gulped due to the cold stare which had been bored on her gorgeous morning face. The alpha was not sure why she was having a nightmare and it made him assume that he was somehow connected to it.

Lana haphazardly settled herself in the bed with the thought that she had to be presentable. The words of last night circulated in her head as she recalled how badly he treated her. Lana had known her position as his slave and now after she had had witnessed and heard it clearly from the alpha. The woman accepted her fate and became obedient in just one night after knowing she had to pretend to for a while to win his trust.

After all, it was the dire need because she could not simply reach the exit and leave the castle unscathed. It was not possible considering that the alpha, even the beta Curtis would be around along with the other guards. It was simply not possible for her and Lana could not afford to do such a naive thing acknowledging the outcome of it.

Now that she had finally seen it, the alpha was mildly either interested in her or perhaps wanted something from her. Lana knew that he would not kill her as long as or until the alpha Sahan could get what he desired from her. And before she could become useless for him Lana had to ensure that she would find some way out of that grim castle of death.

"G- greetings, my lord! I did not see your presence."

She greeted him and immediately bit her own tongue when she recalled Sahan telling her to call him by the name. The alpha felt his blood raising as the wave of emotions became hyped within him. Lana immediately lowered her gaze upon remembering that scenario from yesterday. The woman was unsure how to react because that morning everything in her life was changed.

Lana was still immersed in her confusing thoughts which made her embarrassed as she glued her gaze towards the quilt. The woman clasped at the red quilt and looked sideways to avoid a direct gaze with Sahan. She could not afford to offend him again nor Lana wished to get insulted once again. She had decided to create some distance from him so as not to make him mad like last night.

'How can she entice me without even trying? This girl definitely has learnt some art of seduction. Tsk, as expected of someone who would spread her legs for everyone.’

Sahan could feel that he was drawn to her and the certain scenario had been tranquillising him. The alpha’s eyes travelled down her face and rested on her neck where Sahan could feel the blood flowing in her veins. Due to the sweat her scent had grown stronger and he could not contain himself from not pouncing on her.

But at the same time the alpha could also not bring himself to touch her intimately once again. He could not get her status of being a sex worker out of his head. Lana had made up her mind not to touch the alpha either, only if she knew that it was certainly the thing Sahan wanted from her. Well, it appeared that less communication was going to affect them both to a greater extent.

Nonetheless, as Lana waited for his response patiently she could feel the burning stare of the alpha darted towards her face. Whereas, she was unsure what kind of insult Sahan was going to throw at her now. It amazed and confused her equally about his quickly changing behaviour. Lana was unable to grasp that what could be the possible stimulus for him to act lovingly with her then all of a sudden act rashly with her and insult Lana’s dignity and question her character.
