Chapter 106:
“Here it is, ma’am,” I said, extending the tray to her.
My breath shook in fear as I watched her sip the hot tea, swallowing it down.
“What nonsense is this?!” she flared, almost screaming her lungs out in annoyance.
A wave of confusion and anxiety washed over me, making my heart race.
What did I do this time?
Before I could apologize, I felt the liquid splash on my face, making me scream as the steam burned my skin.
Did she just empty her hot cup of tea on my face?!
I screamed in horror as the heat from the tea burned my face.
Involuntarily, I grabbed a handful of my clothes, wiping the hot liquid off my skin.
My tears mixed with the tea as they flowed freely from my eyes.
A surge of pain and anger flared in my chest, but I fought hard not to retaliate.
I was so close to slamming her head against the wall, but for the sake of her baby and my own life, I held myself back. Tears continued to gather in my eyes as I wiped my face with my palms.
The tears weren’t because of the hot tea she spilled on me. No, they were because I couldn’t fight back.
I was defenseless.
The only person who could have come to my aid wasn’t around. Even if he had been, he’d left me at the mercy of his evil mistress.

My face met my arm as I wiped away my tears.
Was this how I was going to live? Like a slave? Was this how low I had fallen?
Maybe I should have fled to my mother’s pack, where I would be treated like the Alpha’s daughter, as I should be.
“What nonsense did you make?” she continued, her voice growing louder with impatience.
I remained silent, noticing she was just looking for a fight.
My eyes dropped to the floor, waiting for her to excuse me.
“Your parents didn’t teach you anything?”
My chest clenched in anger, but I stayed quiet. The uncomfortable silence stretched on, and I could feel her blazing gaze on me.
Maybe when she got tired, she’d finally excuse me.
“Answer me!” she bellowed. Her voice made me jump in fear.
“You spoiled bitch!” Her lips twisted with hatred. “Take this!”
“And don’t you dare look me in the eye,” she warned, her hands trembling with rage.
I wanted to hold her hand before it landed on my face again.
