“I see you’ve settled in comfortably.” She says in an amused tone. I glare at hr in return she beness on the bed beside me. “It’s a shame to see you this way.”
“Don’t you have some class to be at or something?…unlike me whe’s been deprived of her rights,”
mumble the last part, but can be an anything that she
heard me perfectly. I flip the page of my novel, pretending to
still be captivated by it so she would lewe. Lexi isn’t abad
person, but she’s related to the asshole, who cuffed me to
the bed and bosses me around like he’s my father. Hell, my
parents were never this bossy to me. They always asked me
what I want.
I hear Lexi sigh beside me as she shuttles to get
comfortable, leaning her back against the headboard with
her legs crossed over the other.

“You have to understand, Ellie, that Reagan wasn’t born
in the century. He’s used to women being silent beside their
men and only speak when spoken to or nod when
addressed. You’re the one who has to show him that you’re
not like that. That you’re different.” She places a hand on my
shoulder for me to face her.

“You know, the realmcem’t als in Canad.” She suddenly announces making me turn to stare at her in question, I’m surprised by the change of subject. “We originally resided in England, Dartyshine, to be preise. Hut in the late 1600s, there was a wara blood bath betwein

Then, no werewolf could leave theirs unless they were on a
suicide mission.
“The council’s along with my uncle, the king decided to
move to North America and had a meeting with all pack
Alphas. Territories were divided, boundaries were given, and
freedom to move from a pack to another was announced as

was coming Werewolves are very territorial nature. They won‘t think twice about charming through others just to keep what they thought was theirs. And since there are so many Packs in North America, there’s always a fight about
boundaries somewhere.
But we in Lunar Pack hardly have that problem as we’re one of the besesë. Instead other packs try to get on our good sides just to earn lavors from us and not be an enemy.
Lexi shuffles beside me to sit straight and look clearly at
1. me. “Now, I was going somewhere with this. You see in the twentieth century, the idea of girls going to school wasn’t still commonly accepted. And for us Lycans, it was worse. We
still lived way behind humans and didn’t accept the new
customs so quickly. My dad was also a strong believer, and
thought my only job was to leam how to cook, clean, sew,
and to please my future mate. We Lycans don’t even wait for
our mate’s anymore as it’s almost impossible to find one for
1. us. We’re not as lucky as you werewolves.”

“How did you get out of it?” I ask with eagerness to

“Simple. By not giving up.” She states like it’s an easy
task. I stare at her in curiosity, wanting to know more. “I pad
a maid of mine to spread a rumor about me having slept
with a ton of human boys during the time I ran away.”
My jaw drops open at her words. Lycans rarely
associated themselves with werewolves, not to talk of
humans. And for people to hear that she’d slept with a ton of
them, they would all look down on her like dirt.
“You did what?! Wouldn’t that tarnish your reputation?”

“Heu’re crazy.” ledled while also staring at her in awe.
She really was something else. I know I wouldn’t take that
risk for anything. It was too_crazy.
She laughs along with me as she leans back on the
headboard. “My point is, don’t hold back in getting what you think you deserve. You’re a smart twenty- first-century girl.
Act like it.”
I ponder over her words for a while as we remain in
silence. I had thought running away for a few days would get
me what I want, but it only made things worse, so I had to go
with a different approach. So far, Reagan has made it clear
that he’s never letting me go. And me going against his
wishes only gets him more fired up to cage me. It’s like a

eyebrows slowly dreap down as a dark look takes over her
face. Her eyes divert to the floor, and she begins to answer
when a knock is heard at the bedroom door.
“Ellie?” I hear the familiar voice ask as she slightly opens
the door to peek in. Her eyes light up as they land on mine
and a huge smile spreads on my face.
“Lanal Thank God you’re okay.” I said before standing
up to drag her into the room.
