14. A Moment Of Want

VILEYNA

I wandered the streets that were a lot less busy than before, with most at the banquer, although many teens and children roamed the streets rather enjoying more street food than that of the banquet, I walked along with no destination in mind, refusing to allow the tears to fall

After a good hour of walking around, I decided that I needed to start packing. The Alpha said the passage of the title would be in a week’s time, meaning I needed to get out of there First thing tomorrow, I’ll go looking for a place,

Turning back, I decided to head home.

I gathered a few discarded boxes on my way to the castle, that had probably contained items for the festival; they would come in handy to pack up my belongings. I guess once Theon becomes Beta, he won’t be Charlene’s guard, but I’m pretty sure he’ll still be training her. As long as I don’t need to see him.

I picked up two more boxes and knew I wouldn’t be able to carry anymore, so headed back towards the castle. The guards opened the door.

“Need help?” One of them asked.

“No, thank you.” I replied, carefully squeezing past with my boxes.

The castle was silent save for the sound of music that still seeped through the open windows. I paused, rebalancing the boxes in my grip, realising I had left my bunny at the banquet…

A sudden wave of sadness washed over me. The poor bunny… I was meant to win more for the orphanage and now I didn’t even have one…

I reached my quarters feeling gloomy. My high spirits from earlier were dampened. I placed the boxes down, took my key from my pouch and unlocked it.

The smell of Mom’s candles lingered in the air, and I inhaled deeply.

Home.

I bent down to pick up the boxes. “Already planning to pack up?” I jumped, spinning around, dropping the boxes in the process as I stepped back, only to tumble backwards and into one of the boxes.

I yelped in pain, staring at my legs that were sticking up in the air.

Quiet footsteps approached, and a shadow fell over me. My heart thundered as I looked into a familiar pair of smouldering amber eyes.

“Theon…”

I gripped the side of the box, trying to get my footing so I could get out of it, but failed miserably.

“Need a hand?”

“No thanks.” I shot back icily, remembering how he had walked off an hour or so earlier
