Chapter 13
I follow Ma’am Cassandra down the hall way and out the servant quarters with a million thoughts buzzing on my mind. Some of them which are: Why has the Alpha summoned me, why in his bedroom? What have I done? What does he want with me? And the list goes on. I am as nervous as a child who has been asked to confess his crime to his father and receive punishment.
Gah!
It’s the fact that we’re going to his bedroom that’s freaking me out like this. He should have asked me to meet him in his office or his living room or any other part of his house, he just had to summon me to his bedroom.
“Here we are” Ma’am Cassandra announces as we stop before a big double door, like that of the rooms of kings in movies.
Well, he’s Alpha and technically he’s king, so it’s only normal for him to have such a room door.
Hahaha.
Nervousness is about to end my life.
“Is…is this his bedroom?” I ask with a tiny voice.
“Yes Reign, now all you need to do is knock and wait for him to signal you to get in. Is that clear?”
“Yes Ma’am” I answer nervously and she looks at me and lets out a heavy sigh of relieve.
“Calm down Reign, he’s not going to harm you.”
“He… he won’t?”
“No, just go in there and listen to what he has to say. Good luck” Then she briskly walks away before my mind can process that I had to say “thank you”.
I turn to the big double door that looks heavy and I wonder what kind of material it was formed with. One mistake with your finger on that door and you are loosing it.
I take a nervous step closer, knock three times and step back. I pray he’s not in there so I can go back to my room and have a peaceful sleep.
My heart is pounding so fast in my chest that I’m scared that it’s going hop out of it.
Moments later, the doubled door is swung wide open revealing a very stern looking Alpha Damien who’s staring at me with a tiny smile plastered on his lips.
You ever heard of the flight, fright and fight response? Science students can relate.
Like, right now there is adrenaline rush all over my body and I just want to turn around and run for my dear miserable life. I don’t think I’m ready to face this Alpha this night, in his bedroom.
“You came” He speaks with his dominant Alpha voice and I nod my head as I swallow dryly.
It’s not like I had a choice.
“Yes, Alpha” I bow down my head and play with my fingers.
“Come in” He announces and I snap my head up to look at him.
“Should I?”
“Yes Reign, Come in” He repeats as he steps aside and makes way for me.
We are indeed going into his bedroom.
Just great!Content (C) Nôv/elDra/ma.Org.
I nervously walk into the bedroom and I’m actually stunned by how large it is.
Like, really large and his drapes look like they must have cost a fortune. His king sized bed is sited at the center of the room and it had been dressed with very fine sheets.
Fine black sheets, if I may add.
This guy has a thing for black. Almost everything in his room is black, but surprisingly it doesy look scary, it’s damn classic and if I ever I get a room of my own, it’s going to be all black.
“How are you feeling?” His voice snaps me out if my thoughts and I turn around to look at him and our eyes meet and look into each other’s. I take that opportunity to admire his beautiful ocean blue eyes which has got thousands of emotions swimming in them. All kinds of emotions except one.
Lust.
There’s nothing like lust in his eyes.
“Reign” He calls and quickly break the eye contact and look elsewhere.
“Umm… I’m doing just fine, thank you”
“Are the other servants good to you?”
“More then I deserve Alpha”
“That’s good to know. You most be wondering why I summoned you”
“I’m very close to dying of nervousness right now Alpha, did I do anything wrong?”
“What do you think?” He asks with a creased brow.
“Well, I think I have been a good girl”
“Good girl you say?”
“Yeah”
“So it is then”
“If you haven’t called me here to reprimand me for doing something wrong, then why did you call?
“First, I don’t reprimand my servants, they know the rules and they know that if they break them, they will be punished accordingly, second, I must not only summon you here to reprimand you Reign.”
“Okay, that makes me feel relaxed now”
“Does being in my presence make you uncomfortable in any way?”
“Not quite, I’m just nervous.”
“Yeah, I’m known to have that kind of effect on people. I’ll be right back” He says as he disappears into another room.
I scan around the room in wonder, admiring the art photos that are hanging on the wall and also the portraits of men and women whom I presume should be former Alphas and Lunas of this pack.
Soon, he walks out of the other room with a little bottle in his hand.
“Are these portraits of your ancestors?”
“Yeah, that’s my grand father Alpha Damien, I was named after him and my grandma Luna Alice and that’s my father, Alpha Karl and my mum Luna Camille” He introduces proudly and I can’t help but smile.
He is the exact photocopy of his father.
“So, share are your parents?”
“Well, they are some where around the pack, minding their business” He says with a smile and I laugh.
He’s such a sweet man.
“Enough about my family shenanigans, I brought something for your arm.”
“For my arm?”
“Yeah” He agreed as he sits on one of the couches in the sitting area and taps a spot by his side. “Come here” He instructs and I gently walk over and sit on the spot he just tapped.
“What’s that?” I ask the moment he opens the bottle.
“It’s a pain reliever, I’m going to use it to massage your arm and it should feel better by tomorrow. Now take out your left arm” He instructs and I shoot him a nervous glance. “Don’t look at me like that, I can’t massage the arm with your clothes on”
“Oh boy!” I exclaim as I carefully take off the buttons of my pyjamas shirt.
I’m lucky I have on a singlet.
“This is going to hurt” He warns.
“Is it?”
“Yeah, but I’ll be gentle, I promise” He says calmly and I nod head and close my eyes and I feel his hands touch my arm.
What an honor to be cared for an Alpha.
I feel a sharp pain course through my arm as he applies pressure on it.
“Crap!” I exclaim in pain as I bit my lip.
“Sorry. You’ve still not told me what happened to you”
“I’m really not ready to talk about it yet”
“Alright then, as you wish”
“Yeah” There’s a moment of silence as he keeps rubbing the arm with the liquid from the bottle while I flinch in pain every now and then. Truth to be told , he does it gently.
“That should do” He soon announces as he closes the bottle and I put on my pyjamas shirt and turn to face him.
“Thank you”
“Anytime Reign”
“I’m sorry for asking again, but do I really look like your mate?” I ask curious and he nods with a smile.
“Exactly, the same hazel eyes, jet black hair, very fair skin, I mean everything.”
“Wow” I say nodding.
“But she’s not as calm as you are, she was a hot headed girl. A very tough one to tame but I loved her all the same”
“I can only imagine”
“Of I may ask, have you found your mate?”
“Yeah”
“For real, and he let you leave?”
“Well, he rejected me so he wouldn’t care” I say carelessly and I see him pause.
Why do they always have this reaction?
“Why will he do that?”
“It’s a long ugly story I don’t like talking about?” I say as I rise up from the chair. “Can I go now?”
“Uh… yeah.” He rises up and we both walk to the door where he opens it up for me.
“Good night Alpha”
“Good night Reign” He wishes and I smile as I turn to leave.
“Reign” He calls and I stop on my tracks and turn to look at him.
“Yes, Alpha”
“Did your mate do this to you?” he asks concerned and I just smile as I turn around and leave.
