Chapter 141: Chapter 141: An Encounter with Meriya

As soon as Cyrus turned his back and left, Sara wiped her fake tears quickly, muttering in her heart all the curses she knew.

Mad dog. Idiot wolf. Brain of a rock. Son of a mutt. Ugh, why is the world punishing me like this? She puffed her cheeks, glaring at his tall figure from behind, though only in her heart. On her face, she still kept the pitiful, broken look. She knew better than to show her true colors.

Because that was the thing about these brainless wolves—if you stood up and tried to look big, they would crush you even harder. They liked domination. They liked to show they were stronger.

So why challenge their giant egos? Better to look weak, pitiful, a helpless girl who couldn’t even hurt a fly. That was the only way to make them leave you alone.

But seriously, she cursed again inside her head, why can’t he just believe me when I say I didn’t see anyone? Like, shit, is that so hard to understand? I said no, so it’s no. End of story. But nooo, Mister Beta thinks I’m hiding something. Hah, the only thing I’m hiding is how much I want to kick his face right now!

She huffed softly, almost like a child pouting, but quickly sniffled to keep up her "poor me" act.

Sara slipped back into her room, her eyes red from all the fear Cyrus had given her. She found Selene already lying on her bed, eyes closed like she had been waiting for sleep to take her.

Sara didn’t disturb her. She quietly changed her clothes, pulled her blanket up, and curled herself into the corner of her bed.

She muttered one last curse at that arrogant jerkface in her heart, then sighed deeply and let herself drift off. For the first time that night, she slept peacefully, without thinking about anything.

The next day started calm. Both Sara and Selene went back to their work like normal. Life here wasn’t too hard, not really. If they kept their heads down, if they didn’t make noise or disturb anyone, the wolves barely noticed them. They were treated as invisible. And invisible was safe.
