The woman walked up to and handed a dress.
She tossed it at .
"Get dressed, and let’s be going." She said to ,
I nodded. "Thank you."
She ignored , and I saw that she had no intention of giving privacy to dress.
So I wore the dress over my head and stepped out of bed before lining it over my body.
Unfortunately, it was a simple and plain cream dress that showed off my cleavage.
Then the waist line heightened the curves at my waist, and the rest flowed down.
"Well, co along." She said to , "We don’t have all day."
And I followed her out of the room.
"What’s your na?" She asked .
"Jasmine," I replied quietly.
"You will do as you’re told." She said. "No complaints. You’ll be punished if I find out you’re making trouble amongst the other workers."
I nodded. "I won’t give you any trouble, ma."
She ignored and led the way.
I noticed that there were states from the passersby and also whispers.
They all knew who I was, and like the rest of the people I had t, I had already been condemned as evil for what my father had done to them.
I bit my lip and sighed to myself.
She took to a room. "This will be your room. You will be assigned a mat, pillow, and blanket. There are five other girls in here. You will not give them trouble."
It was a bare room, and then there was a dium-sized cabinet.
I could see the mats that had been laid out neatly.
"You would put your things in one of the empty cabinets." She said that, and then she eyed . "If you ever get around to having anything,
And she proceeded with the walk.
She showed the farms and the healer’s quarters, where I would be eating my al, and then took to the kitchen.
She finally took to the floors where I would be scrubbing.
She handed a piece of paper.
"This would be your schedule." She said.
I froze.
How was I going to read? I didn’t know how to read or write.
"You are not to waste any ti or be seen when your chores aren’t done! Do you understand ?" She demanded.
I nodded. "Yes, ma’am."
She started to leave, but I asked her a question. "When my chores are done, what do I do?"
She looked at , bewildered.
She hadn’t expected that question.
In fact, I was sure she had expected to fight and grumble that I couldn’t do any of the work.
"You can rest." She seed not sure what to say.
Then she turned to leave and stopped.
"Before I forget," she said.
She went down the stairs and returned with chains.
"Alpha Xaden said you were to wear this." She said.
I looked in shock as she wore the chains around my leg.
I swallow heavily.
I tried to move, and they made a loud noise.
Anywhere I passed, they would hear .
What else did I need to be reminded that he hated and ultimately wanted to humiliate in the slightest way.
"And you are never to take it off." She said. "Not even at night."
I nodded, and then she handed a bucket and sponge before she left.
I went down on my feet and began scrubbing the floor.
Lucky for , I knew how to do these already.
I had so tricks on how to do it faster, and then I went on scrubbing.
As I scrubbed the castle floors, so girls passed by and kicked the bucket, spilling its contents.
"Dirty enemy." A girl with bright blonde hair blazed at .
And they laughed as they went past.
I said nothing as I went on to start the whole process all over again.
When I was done, I returned the buckets to where they were supposed to be and went on to the armory, where I began cleaning the amour of the wolves.
The n gazed at , and I tried my best to avoid their eyes over .
Once I was done, I went to the kitchen to work.
I washed the plates, cleaned the chimney, and carried coal in a wheelbarrow to the kitchen.
No one spoke to .
It was like I was not even present for them.
I sighed as I went on with my work.
Once I was done with the kitchen, I went up to the healer’s quarters to eat my lunch.
"I was wondering if you’d co at all." He said. "It’s almost evening."
"I’m sorry, I was working." I apologized. "I lost track of ti."
He looked at from under his glasses and waved at a chair.
"Sit," he said. "The food is almost getting cold."
I did as he told and ate hungrily.
He didn’t say a word to , and then, when I was done, he handed the dicine.
I took it and started to rise to leave after thanking him.
"You can’t leave." He said. "The dicine needs to go down to your body well. Rest for a few minutes."
"But I have work." I tried to explain.
"And I’m the healer." He said. "If you fall ill again, I will not treat you."
I said nothing to that and remained where I was.
Once so ti had passed, I was sure I was okay.
"Please, may I go now?" I pleaded.
He waved his hand off at , and then I thanked him and disappeared out of the room.
The chains were weighing down, or I would have been able to get there on ti.
I made a sharp turn and crashed right into soone.
I was scared.
Maybe it was Xaden.
But when I looked up, it was none other than Aurora, and she was glaring down at with hate in her eyes.
