4. Eyes Shamelessly Roaming My Body.

The emptiness of the castle hallways could be noticed by the way our footsteps echoed off the walls. It took quite a while to get to my 'chambers' but alas, we finally came to a halt in front of a white upscale wooden double door with gold designs running along it. In other words, the door alone could cost a fortune.

"We are here my lady", Cecilia said as she opened the doors. My heart pounded in my chest as we walked into the room or might I say, mini apartment. She moved around swiftly and I followed behind her as she gave me a tour of the suite, "On the left is the bedroom", she said pointing at a door, similar to the one at the entrance. We were currently in a lounge room that had doors leading to the other parts of the suite such as bedroom, bathroom and dressing room, "The door beside it is a bathroom. You will also see a door leading there inside the bedroom", I nodded my head in understanding, "On the right is a library and office. So, the alpha king can chose to do his work there when he does not want to be seen",

"Why am I having a tour of the alpha king's chambers?", my eyebrows knitted in confusion, all this time I thought this was my personal chamber.

"You are the alpha King's chosen, therefore you shall share a room with him. That is normal protocol", Cecilia said bowing her head ever so slightly. This is absurd! I will not share a private space with him just because he chose me!

"I refuse", I instantly tell her but she shook her head frantically,

"I'm afraid you can not my lady. It was ordered by the Alpha king that you stay within the confinements of these walls until he is ready to attend to you", she informed me. How dare he! He can not treat me like this! I refuse to be treated like this! "Should I give you a tour of the bedroom?", she asked me but I shook my head, my mood had been spoilt completely after finding out I was to share a room with the alpha king.

"No Cecilia, you may leave, I will take it from here", I told her for if she did not leave now, there was no telling on how rotten my mood will get and I would completely lash out on her.

"Very well my lady. Your maid will be here first thing in the morning to attend to your needs", I nodded but she spoke again, "His Majesty has guards outside the doors manning it, if you need anything at all, they will see to it". After she leaves, I take my seat on one of the plush sofas in the sitting area and continue to look into thin air just like I did earlier. I had left my purse along with my phone in the ballroom, there was no telling what could have happened to it by now.

I noticed a television on the wall and wondered he I did not notice it on my entrance as it was nearly human sized. I switched it on and decided on getting comfortable on the sofa by removing my shoes and keeping my feet up. I flicked through channels until I came to a halt when I realised one of my favorite shows was on.

I felt the sunlight radiating unto my face as I slowly opened my eyes. I had no idea on when I fell asleep and why is the couch softer than I remember? I immediately sat up and realised that I was no longer on the couch but on a king sized bed. How typical. Although, I can not recall myself leaving the couch the day before. This was strange, or was I carried by someone? How could I not know when I was being carried? Well, on the contrary, I am a very heavy sleeper so it is no surprise to me.

"Good morning my lady", the voice of a girl snapped me out of my thoughts and I look to see a young girl around my age, maybe younger by a few years. She had brown hair and brown eyes, she had on a maid uniform and held a clipboard in her hand, "My lady, my name is Sarah Princeton and it is with great pleasure that I serve as your maid", she said professionally, I had to hold in an impending eye roll.

"Please, call me Daphne", I told her, if she was to be working with me, I would like to keep a friendly relationship with her instead of the normal boss to help relationship but one look at her facial expression and I could tell she was not having any of it. I let out a sigh and sink back into the rather comfortable bed, this mattress was heaven.

"My lady, we have a busy day ahead of us. First, you will clean up and get dressed, I will bring some clothes in now, afterwards, we shall drive to the store and get you some new clothes, jewelry and makeup fit for a Luna", I had to hold back my cringe once she mentioned make up, "You have the afternoon off, by evening you have dinner with the alpha king in the dinning room. And lest I forget, you have breakfast in thirty minutes. I will be back with your clothes", before she left, she bowed her head. I don't think I'll ever get used to people doing that, I am very sure they do not know how annoying it is to be on the receiving end.

Reluctantly, I left the bed and head into the bathroom since I had already been told that it was on the left of the room by Cecilia. I try not to dwell on the beauty and elegance of the bathroom as I stepped out of my clothes. The jacuzzi like bathtub was calling out to me but I knew I was behind on time so I just stuck to a quick shower. I wrapped a towel around my body and picked up my clothes from the floor planning on throwing it into the laundry basket. I left the bathroom and closed the door, hearing footsteps, I assumed it was Sarah, ,"You can just set the clothes on the bed, thank you… Oh my Lord!", I finally turned around to see it wasn't in fact Sarah but the alpha king.

He was looking at me, eyes shamelessly roaming my body, his eyes shades darker from its usual vibrant purple color. I felt uneasy and self-conscious at the way he stared at me, on instinct, I wrapped the towel tighter to my body, silently praying it does not loosen. Much to my happiness, Sarah walks into the room completely saving me from this awkward situation I was currently in.

I could see the poor girl stiffen once she got a glimpse of the man in front of her, "Your Majesty, I am sorry for just barging in. I did not know you were here. I shall leave and come back", she dropped a pile of clothes on a chair and before I could protest, she was out of the door leaving me to bask in this situation alone.

I figured the only way to escape from this was to retrieve the clothes and move into the dressing room. I did not miss the way his eyes followed my every move until the door to the dressing room was finally shut and locked.
