Alpha Damien’s Trouble Maker Novel

Chapter 35 Chapter 35 Selene "The celebration will soon start, oh, I can't wait! Everyone is waiting to see the beautiful white wolf!" "Right, I've never seen one before." "Of course you haven't. The last one was Miss Sienna's mother, and she died giving birth. You were too young to see her wolf. Anyway, Miss Sienna and the master are here. Let's get Miss Sienna ready for the celebration." Their voices drifted down the corridor, and I pressed my back against the cold stone wall as the group of servants passed by. Their laughter echoed faintly before fading around the corner. We'd done it.

Somehow, we had managed to sneak back into the temple without being seen. It was not an easy feat, considering how tight the security had gotten with the celebrations tonight. But I knew this place like the back of my hand. And with Elias keeping Evelyn quiet and close behind me, we slipped through unnoticed. Now, crouched behind the window to my room, I rolled my sleeves up and reached for the ledge. "Alright," I murmured, more to myself than them. "We're almost there." Before I could climb, Elias raised a hand. "Allow me, my lady." I arched a brow at him, but I nodded.

I had to remind myself not everything had to be done by my own hands anymore. The people I cared about needed to feel useful, too. "Pardon me," he said softly, then stepped closer, his hands firm but careful as he gripped my waist and lifted me up. I caught the window's edge easily and pulled myself inside, the cool air of my room brushing against my face. The box was still secure in my hand. "Help Evelyn," I whispered down. Elias nodded and, without hesitation, helped Evelyn next. Poor Evelyn was bright red, clutching at his shoulders as if her life depended on it.

I couldn't help but chuckle, stretching out my hand from above to grab hers. "Come on," I said, amused, "before someone catches us." With a small grunt, I tugged her up, and she tumbled through the window beside me, landing with a soft thud on the carpet. "I'll be in front of your room, my lady." Silas's voice was calm as always. He gave me a respectful bow before turning away, his long strides carrying him down the dimly lit corridor. I nodded, watching him until he disappeared around the corner.

The moment the sound of his footsteps faded, I turned toward Evelyn, who, to my amusement, was still standing there with her face bright red. "You're like a tomato, Evelyn," I said, a teasing lilt in my voice. "Does his touch affect you that much?" Her eyes went wide. "My lady! Please don't say something like that!" I raised a brow, smirking. "Why? Am I wrong?" Evelyn bit her lip, fidgeting, her blush somehow deepening. "I-this is the first time a man actually touched me like that. So I..." 12:47 Tue, Dec 23 MG. Chapter 35 I grinned, unable to resist. "So you're tempted, then?

By how hot his body felt?" "L-Lady Selene!" she squeaked, hiding her face in her hands, mortified. I laughed softly, shaking my head. "You're fun to tease, Evelyn." She really was. So pure and young, and barely sixteen. She was still too innocent for this cruel world. I had no idea who her mate would turn out to be in the future, but one thing was certain, if he turned out to be trash, I'd make sure to personally tear him apart and find her someone better. Evelyn deserved that much. Stretching my arms, I let out a small sigh and turned back toward the box resting on my desk.

My fingers brushed over the rough wood, a smile tugging at my lips. "Well, enough of that," I murmured. "I should get started on this." Just as excitement began to rise in my chest, there was a sudden knock on the door. "Selene," a woman's voice called out, clipped and formal. "This is Hannah. I was sent to deliver a message to you." Hannah. My smile faded. That name alone was enough to sour my mood. Before I could even respond with a come in, the door began to creak open. Evelyn's eyes went wide in panic.

We were still in our sarees from earlier, clear evidence that we had been outside the temple. If anyone saw us like this, especially Hannah, rumors would spread faster than wildfire. I didn't even think twice. "How disrespectful," I said, my voice sharp and cold. The door froze halfway open. "What?" Hannah's voice carried irritation already. "You are a maid, and yet you open the door before I give you permission? Do you have a death wish?" There was a tense pause. Even without seeing her face, I could feel her anger filling the room.

I knew that woman too well, her arrogance, her smirk, her smugness that came from serving my stepmother directly. Hannah never hid her disdain for me. Unlike Emma, Sienna's maid, who at least knew how to act respectful in public, Hannah made no such effort. Back then, she made my life in the temple miserable, with her sharp tongue and sharper insults. I tilted my head toward the half-open door, eyes cold. "If you have something to say, say it now. Or do you plan to stand there all night, peeking into a lady's chambers like a rat?" Hannah hesitated, then scoffed, voice filled with contempt.

"I've heard the rumours around the temple quarters about how unruly and bold you are. I didn't expect it to be true. It seems you still don't know your place, Selene." Evelyn's face flooded red, ready to speak, but I cut her off with a quick, quiet motion and crossed my arms. "Silas, are you at the door yet?" I asked. There was the faint scrape of boots, Silas's answer came low, "Yes, my lady." Hannah gave a sharp little yelp of surprise, she hadn't expected him to be there. In the doorway I could see Silas's shadow step forward; Hannah took an involuntary step back.

The whispers about what he'd done to Arthur had already traveled around the temple. "First," I said evenly, "you'll stay outside and say whatever it is you came to say. Or you'll leave." BEN 12:47 Tue, Dec 23 Chapter 35 My voice dropped, colder now. "Second, you're a servant. How dare you call me by my name? Didn't your mistress teach you better? Learn to show me respect, or I'll make sure everyone remembers what happens when someone dares to forget their place." Hannah opened her mouth, pale, then swallowed whatever venom she'd been saving.

"Whatever, the madam said-" she began, but when she looked at Silas again the words choked off. Finally, with a forced sneer, she spat, "The madamn says get ready. The coming-of-age is about to start, lady selene. Even if nobody expects anything from you, you're still part of the family. Don't cause a scene and embarrass the Bloodrose name. A dress will be brought for you." Without waiting for me to say another word, she spun on her heel and stalked off. The door shut behind her with a sharp. click. Silas's voice broke the silence. "What should I do, my lady?" "Let her go," I said.

"Don't worry. They will all learn soon enough. I will teach every last one of them a lesson they won't ever forget." 田 AD Comment Send gift No Ads 12:47 Tue, Dec 23 MG Editorial board Editorial Board: Our editorial team works behind the scenes to refine each chapter, maintain consistency, and deliver the best reading experience.
