"It's okay. You'll be fine here. There will be maids, and there will be guards to take care of you," Lady Eugenia said as she gently ran her fingers through my hair.

For the first few seconds, I completely forgot about my mission. I completely forgot this woman was evil.

So much love.

I had waited so long for it.

"But what about my stuff?" I asked.

The way she smiled every time I spoke made my heart crumble.

Is this how a mother is supposed to be?

Then Maria had lied to me my whole life. I had thought the world beyond this place didn't exist.

"We'll bring your things here, okay?" she said, gently stroking my cheek. "We'll give your old body a funeral, and I'll bring all your belongings here, telling everyone I got rid of them because they reminded me of you."

Lady Eugenia explained, holding my hand in hers.

I noticed the warriors returning with food that smelled so fucking good.

"And I'll always be stuck here?" I asked because I couldn't see the difference between living here before and living here now.

The only difference would be that now I would be given things I hadn't even known existed.

"Yes but it won't be that bad. We'll turn this place into a palace for you. I'll have to pull some strings, though," she added, touching her chin.

"Don't worry. I have a council member, Lord Eldon. I'll pay him, and he'll do the dirty work for me. We'll find you a new identity, create a fake background, and build a pack in these woods. Then, when you turn eighteen, I'll find you a mate. He'll become the alpha, and you'll stay here with him." She shrugged before getting happily out of bed.

"But now that you've survived, do you know what that means? Your brother, Baxter, will get to live a happy life."

As she hugged herself happily, I realized her son would suffer because her daughter was gone.

"Where is Baxter?" I asked, remembering her daughter's words.

Lady Eugenia stared at me as her smile faltered before she grunted.

"He's getting ready for his punishment," she hissed.

I didn't say anything because I had no idea what kind of punishment she was talking about.

But she spoke before I could ask.

"Baxter is going to learn his lesson for not listening to me and taking you into the woods," she yelled. Then she suddenly raised her hand and smacked me across the face.

I was stunned.

Because I thought she loved her daughter so much that she had committed a crime to keep her alive.
