Sadly, Maggie's savior and fated mate remained a mystery. However, she remained grateful in her heart. The thought of this unknown hero kept her awake all night. She feels him whenever she is alone. His attraction was so strong yet, she could not find him. 

She wondered when and how her fated mate will reappear.

Meanwhile, she made steady progress in recovering from her fever, and the injuries inflicted on her by Kyle. The medications from her unknown hero helped her recover quickly.

The next morning, Kyle came to taunt her. He probably thought Maggie was down with a fever and pain.

What a stunning scene it's gonna be for him when he finds out Maggie has been healed.

Kyle came alongside his brother, Dave.

Maggie was still sleeping when she heard a loud bang on her door. The loud bang sent her standing to her feet almost immediately, even though she was still dazed. She couldn't get enough sleep last night because she spent most of her time thinking about her fated mate who saved her life.

"Who's there?" she asked with an indifferent voice.

"How dare you ask me who am I?.... Are you out of your mind?" Kyle roared fiercely.

Behind Kyle, a few meters away was Dave who remained silent. He was concealed by a raised building structure, very close to Maggie's door. There was no way, Maggie could see him where he stood.

"Uhm!... I'm so sorry, sir... I thought it was someone else!" she replied with a shaky, frightful voice. She quickly opened the door.

As soon as she stepped outside, Kyle was shocked by what he saw. Maggie appeared fit and healthy. There were no more symptoms of fever or pain.

"What the hell!... What just happened?" he demanded and moved back in shock. He looked in the direction where Dave stood in silence.

"Nothing happened, master...!" she bent her head slightly out of respect. She avoids looking into Kyle's eyes whenever they talk. That has been the case!

"Shut the fuck up... I'm not talking to you!" goes the seemingly, frustrated Kyle. It was not what he expected. He craved to see Maggie crawling on her knees to meet him. Unfortunately, his expectation was ruined. This is not the same Maggie, he left in a depleted state a day before.

"I thought you left her in bad shape yesterday, why then is she standing strong?" Dave broke his silence at last. He faked a surprised look to impress Kyle

For Kyle, there was no indication his brother faked his facial expression.

Upon spotting Dave, Maggie felt it again. That strange, pleasant feeling returned. She locked her eyes on him. She felt goosebumps all over her body. Her skin became super sensitive. She yearned silently, to have him close. The mate-bond feeling was so strange that she was tempted to call Dave, her mate, right in front of Kyle. However, she refrained from doing so.

Dave, on the other hand, felt the same as Maggie. No wonder, he maintained a quite distance from her, like he knew what would happen. He was trying to save their little secret from his brother.

"I have no idea what the hell just happened, Dave!" Kyle stared at Maggie with his evil eyes. His eyes depicted terror and madness at once. "How did you recover? You were supposed to be down with fever, aren't you?"

"Wait!" interrupted Dave, "maybe you didn't get her right. Watch me correct your mistake!" he smiled wickedly before reaching out to Maggie. He pulled and twisted her hair without mercy. "You are gonna pay for this, bitch!... You are gonna pay for making my brother look like a fool!"

"Who made this happen? Who helped you recover?.... Say it now!" demanded Kyle harshly as Dave cochooseed to torment Maggie.

"Yes! Say it now or you will never leave to tell the tales later!" echoed Dave as he twists her hair further, inflicting pain on her to impress his brother.

"I don't know who that was!... I swear to God, I don't know anything that happened!" cried Maggie. She was being tossed around by Dave's tormenting hands as Kyle watched in ecstasy.

"Liar!" shouted Dave. He pushed her violently to the wall.

Maggie fell hard without pity. She cried in pain but the wickedness of the two brothers only grew. They left no atom of mercy for her.

"Get up!" shouted Dave. Almost immediately, she pulled Maggie back to her feet and smacked her left cheek disrespectfully. "This is what you get for making my brother look like a fool."

"Finish her!" came Kyle's evil voice. "Kill her!... I don't want to set my eyes on her ever again in this pack!"

Dave was shocked and showed restraint despite his brother's order to end Maggie's poor life.

Maybe he was not expecting his brother to come up with such a grand plan for Maggie. Maybe he thought the agony he had already inflicted on her was enough. Maybe there was something more to that. Maybe it was something mysterious enough to be hidden under the sun.

"What!... Wait, Ray!... You wanna kill her?" Dave released his tight grip on Maggie's left hand and hair. He turned his whole attention to Kyle.

"Kill her! Don't pretend you did not hear me!" insisted Kyle.

"Oh! What a great idea, brother!" Dave played along but quickly hesitated again. "Wait a minute Kyle, I agree with you. This Omega is worthless in our pack. Her death will be a thing of the past in no distant time!"

"Then go ahead and kill her!" continued Kyle.

"But!" raising his index finger, Dave appeared to object again.

"But what?" His eyes grinned with hatred and disgust for her. He was fuming in great anger.

Maggie never said a word. She lay on the floor sobbing silently. Her rag clothes were further stained by the dirt on the floor. She was crying her eyes out especially, now that she has discovered that Kyle's ultimate plan for her was death.

"But who is gonna do all the chores? Remember your birthday party is holding this evening. If we kill her, who's gonna prepare the food and attend to your guests? She is the one who's gonna attend to your guests. Do you really wanna do away with her at this time when she is of great significance to us?" asked Dave, intelligently. "Come on, she still has some relevance around here.... let's keep her alive for a sole purpose; to remain our slave forever! What do you say about that, huh?"

"Fine!" agreed Kyle while still staring hard at Maggie. He moved close to her and said. "Now listen to me you dirty, piece of trash! If you don't make great dishes for my guests be rest assured, I will let loose hell on you...Bitch!" he hit her hard on the back with his left elbow.

Maggie cried out in pain. She was still laying down in the pool of her tears when she received the devastating hit.

Kyle stormed out of the scene after that. But, Dave stayed back.

Maggie was left with Dave. He stood gazing at Maggie crying. He was unsure of what to do.

"Come on, go ahead and abuse me for the last time just like he did before leaving!" said Maggie amid her endless tears.

But Dave never moved an inch instead, he remained indifferent. There was something about the slave Omega. Maybe he was afraid of the backlash if he admits it, Perhaps, it was not the right time for him to acknowledge her as his mate.

Dave left the scene shaking his head in disappointment. His heart was restless. He was engaged in a deep thought over Maggie.

Not long after Dave left, Kyle returned. He walked like an emperor about to plunder and conquer.

Maggie was alerted. Her heart nearly jumped out of her chest when she saw Kyle return to the scene. By then, she was no more laying on the floor. She was sitting on the floor instead.

Why in the hell did he come back?

Perhaps, he had a change of mind and was back to kill her as he so desired. She does not hold the key to that answer. All she could do was swallow her spit in a desperate move and hope for the worst.
