hapter 19 SONIAS POV Ivy and I settled nicely into our new home .
The house had five rooms and each was just as big as the main bedroom .
Alpha Ramon had ordered us to clean the entire house from top to bottom daily , and also do everything I could to resuscitate the dying garden beside the building .
I wasnt by any stretch a farmer .
The only thing I did was heal people .
But this was his way of mocking and punishing me , and I didnt want to give him the satisfaction of seeing me suffer .

Is this supposed to be a punishment ? Ivy sauntered into my room , whilst drying her hair .
It was obvious she just came out of the shower .
A smile formed on my face as I stared at her .
In a few minutes , I would take a shower too .
But for now , I was too comfortable on the bed to stand up .
After sleeping in the most uncomfortable of situations for weeks , I had finally found the comfort of a real bed again .
Ivy was right .
If Ramon thought this was a great punishment , then he had my deepest sympathy .
Hows the water ? I questioned .
Warm .
Great .
So refreshing I could twirl all day long , and never stop , she said , and started to waltz around .
I laughed at her elegant display , Ivy was such free , and genuine entertainment .
I couldnt have asked for a better person by my side .
Ill take a shower in a few minutes .
I just want my body to soak up the comfort of this bed first .
Its been so long .
I sighed , throwing my head back , as my hands stroked my neck .
I feel sorry for you actually .
Ive always been a maid , so Im used to sleeping in uncomfortable situations .
But you had to go from living like a princess to a pauper .
It must have sucked really bad , she said , staring at me with a pitiful expression on her brown eyes .
Yeah , my room was huge .
The house in which we stayed was called the tower by the general wolves of our pack .
Sometimes , I would hear curbs passing by point to the top where my room was hidden and say , Look , thats the princess room , I laughed , feeling a warmth creep into my chest .
It used to be really lonely , trust me .
Growing up with a very protective father and seven strong brothers was no joke .
You have seven brothers ? Ivy gasped .
Her reaction tickled me , and I couldnt Help the cackle that left my throat .
I do .
Its difficult to believe , maybe , but I do .
So how come theyve not stormed into the pack and demanded your release ? It was a really good question .
I had pondered on it too , and came up with just one possible reason .
At least two or three amongst the seven would have wanted badly too .
Im certain Wolf really would .
But my father is very diplomatic when it comes to handling certain cases .
He wouldnt storm into anyones territory without proper plans .
But I hear your father doesnt really like Ramon .
I dont know what the beef between them is all about .
Neither do I.
Anyway , it didnt stop me from being collateral , right ? In this world where women are offered as items for both peaceful and forceful negotiations .
I , the princess of the Silverpaw pack , had fallen a victim too .
Safe to say not even your class status can save you from the hands of a man .
She took an audible deep breath , and sat on the bed .
Can I ask you a question ? Its been bothering me but I didnt want to come out as invasive .
6:26 PM ď ď Chapter 19 Please , ask away .
I urged her with a wave of my hand , as curious lines marred the flesh of my forehead .
What do you feel for Alpha Ramon ? I wasnt expecting that question .
My bodys reaction proved it .
First my heart almost jumped out of its chest , then my wolf leaped to the surface .
My wolf is glued to him because hes my fated mate .
He has rejected me , but it wont hold because we were meant to be together .
I can never , no matter how hard I try , make my wolf see him for the horrible person he is .
On some days , she sees him , and is disappointed , but the disappointment never lasts .
I understand what youre saying , Sonia .
But Im asking about you .
What do you feel ? I get annoyed at the thought of his cruelty .
I want to understand why hes being so unnecessarily mean .
I mean I know it has to do with my father , but I want to know why its being extended to me .
Sometimes , I deeply hate him .
The other times , I pity him .
Really complicated feelings that I cannot properly communicate .
She sighed , and drew closer to me .
Bringing my hand into hers , she smiled .
Ill tell you something that may make you feel a little better .
Whatever Ramon holds against you , its not because of you per say .
Its your father .
I know you cant see it , but he the sweetest alpha this pack has ever known .
Thats how I know that whenever the anger he feels when he sees you because youre an extension of your father passes , youll get the version of him you never got to see .
Im not telling you to endure until then .
Its not fair that women always have to sacrifice so much .
All Im saying is that as long as you are here , just be as positive as you can .
One day , youll have the upper hand .
Youll make the best decision for you .
Her words had gotten me so emotional .
Ivy had a way with words .
She would have been a great orator if we were in the archaic days .
Thank you Ivy .
For everything youve done for me so far .
For sticking by me , and making an enemy out of Lorena .
Im sorry for putting you in that position , but Im grateful that I have someone like you in my corner .
She took her hand away from mine , as a friend enveloped her face .
Lorena will have her day .
Some people get to a certain .
stage in life , and forget about their humble beginnings .
Rest assured Sonia , Lorena will have her day .
You talk like you know her beyond her status .
Thats because I do .
Im the only one that knows her for what she truly is .
Her guilt and fear makes her act the way she does towards me .
But Im not afraid of Lorena .
You shouldnt be either .
Shes insignificant in the grand scheme of things .
Dont forget that Abruptly , she rose to her feet with a straightened back .
I wondered if bringing up Lorena had upset her , or if it was something else .
Go take your bath .
Ill just go dress up with the clothes Lorena made me bring from the servants quarters , and then go check the kitchen to see if theres any food for us .
Its been a long day , and weve not eaten .
Are you okay , ivy ? I quickly asked before she could leave .
I told you , Sonia .
That bitch is not important enough to upset me .
Before I could say any other thing , she walked away , leaving me wondering what the deal was between them .
