The Revenge

Chapter 15

Chapter 15

As we sat in the tree I scanned the packhouse grounds. The slaves were working on the fields but not much had happened. Despite wearing a thick jacket, we were both soaking and I began to shiver. The cold began to claw itself right into my bones. I only imagined how cold the slaves must have been. Sin didn't seem too bothered. Thanks to the rain everyone remained inside the buildings, only the guards stood outside making sure the slaves behaved.

Memories flooded my mind of one particular year. I was left working on the field all day and long hours until night. Everyone else was in the warmth of the building after their work finished. It was nearly winter and the rain was particularly freezing. I remembered shivering so badly my teeth trembled against each other. I couldn't feel my entire body from the hash freezing temperature. And the reason for the punishment was only because I rolled my eyes at one of the she-wolves. She hated me more than anyone else and looked for any excuse to punish me.

When Sin noticed my shivering, he jumped over from a branch next to mine. Not paying him any attention, I thought he just changed his position for a better view. Suddenly I felt him behind as he pulled me into him gently. Taken aback by his behaviour I froze and my eyes widened. I felt his chest glued to my back, gently moving while he breathed. One of his arms slouched where my collar bones were, and the other around my waist. I felt his breath on the side of my neck. To me, it was a very intimate moment but I began feeling the warmth radiating from him through my wet clothes instantly. I let out a shaky breath, feeling a bit nervous about this situation.

“You’re freezing” he whispered into my ear “I'll warm you up”

“Ok,” I mumbled nervously after clearing my throat quietly “thanks”

I didn’t expect this from him, it was very intimate and I liked the feeling of him being so close. Warmth spread across my chest realising he actually cared for my well being. My stomach fluttered, the only other person I had this feeling with was Luca. I missed affection like this. When Luca took over my mind, I couldn't shake the feeling that I was betraying him. My heart belonged to him and I hated the way I would hurt Sin. I never intended to.

Soon after, the rain stopped, Sin let me go. We sat there for the rest of the day but nothing happened. The Alpha must have been inside because I didn’t see him, not even once. Here and there I got a glimpse of slaves running around and the odd werewolf, what looked like helping with the preparation for the celebration.

Once dark enveloped us, the clouds cleared and the nearly full moon with twinkling stars adorned the inky sky. The slaves were now in their slave quarters and I could hear music coming from the packhouse. To my surprise, no guards were patroling the grounds. Everyone was inside enjoying the party.

We waited for about two hours and then moved a bit closer to the house. We crouched behind a big bush. I had a good view of one of the rooms from where I was hiding. Sin squatted behind another a bit smaller bush not far from me. We tried to eavesdrop but all I could hear was the loud music. My eyes caught the Alpha mingling with others. Then he left the room and went towards the staircase, followed by his Beta. They must be going into his office. I thought to myself. I remembered very well which window was his office. After all, it was there, where he used to force himself upon me and all I did was gazed out of the window trying to disconnect myself from the situation.

Needing to get closer, I carefully scanned around to make sure there was no one around. As I was about to move I heard Sin's silent voice “where do you think you’re going?” ignoring him, I quickly moved crouched to the ground as much as possible until I stopped by the wall of the house under the window. The office was on the first level in the back of the building. After checking no one saw me I moved towards the back.
