CHAPTER THREE

Two months later ...

Janelle's POV

Due to my exhaustion from the training and all, my mind does not register any word that are coming out of Sophia's mouth until she said "Congratulations".

I instantly became attentive, eager to hear why she did congratulate me.

"Did you hear me Janelle?" she asked. I shook my head. She speaks way too fast for my liking!

She scowled, but nevertheless answered me in a very sweet voice, sickly sweet might I add, "I said, congratulations because you accomplished steps 1 & 2!" then she squealed and jumped.

I rolled my eyes, but felt happy that there is progress in that d*mn contract. Honestly, I just want it to end. All of this is just too tiring and irritating, especially Sophia's constant nagging.

At least she believed me when I acted fierce and cold to others. It's actually hard, I'll tell you. I don't want to be like that to others, because it's just not me. I'm usually friendly and kind to my pack members, the total opposite of what Sophia wants me to be.

"Thank you Pia. May I go now and take a rest?" I asked politely, not wanting her to think I'm an ungrateful b*tch that will just brush her off.

"Oh sure Nelle. Go ahead. I have to go too anyway. I'll have to find for Marco because I'm worried. I could feel his strong will to kill." she said. I just nodded at her and then she ran away from me.

I felt jealous, because she could feel Marco's emotions through their bond. I can't feel Giovanni's because he's been blocking me. Sigh.

I went inside the pack house towards a room that I know will be able to make my stress and pain go away. The room is my haven, sanctuary, and territory. No one is allowed to come to that room. I didn't forbid them, but they just won't come there because they know I'd like to be alone, always. Ever since I found that room, I fell in love with it. And because I love it so much, I claimed it as mine. The former-Luna, Giovanni's mother, was originally the owner of the room, but she gave it to me when I joined their pack.

What is so special about the room, you ask?

Nothing. It's just a plain room with beige-colored walls, no windows, and no furniture or things except a piano.

Yes, a piano.

That was what made me fell in love with it, because I usually sing and play piano with my mother before she died. And I must say that Gretchen, Giovanni's mother, has been more of a mother to me because we both love playing piano and singing.

As I reached the room, I smiled. This is my hide-out when I just want to forget everything, and right now it seems appropriate and useful for me.

I reached the door knob and twisted it. I opened the door and entered the room. Just like before, the room is still the same with only the eye-catching black grand piano in the middle of the room.

I went to the piano, slide my fingers on it, and admiring everything about it. Smiling, as I remember who gave me this precious thing.

Giovanni, my mate.

He gave this to me as a replacement, because he destroyed the old piano when his parents died. He actually crushed the poor piano into tiny pieces.

Though I was upset that he destroyed the piano, I was somewhat happy because that was the only time he dropped his guard down. I saw what he thinks, and I felt what he feels that time. I went to hug him because I felt his pain for losing his parents, and I know it's hard because I've been there. I had lost my parents too, which is why I tried my best to ease his pain. Then I smiled when I realized he wasn't going to push me away, and he let me comfort him and be there when he's so down. I hugged him tightly to my arms when he began to cry. I actually wanted to cry that time too, but I know that I have to be strong for him so I refrain myself for doing so.
