MATILDA'S POV
I was led into another room, this particular room, unlike the one I had been locked in previously, looked even more eloquent, like that of a princess.I thought this was probably befitting of royalty, of the alpha's Luna.Unlike the other room, which had just a worn-out bed that creaked whenever one sat on it, this one looked polished and splendid. It had a queen-sized bed that was covered with a beautiful blanket with colorful decorations.The room itself was painted with two beautiful colors which made it a beauty to behold.Unlike the other room which had a hard cemented floor, this particular room was tiled with a beautiful tile that made the place look like a small heaven.At one corner was a dressing mirror, and in front of it stood a dressing stool and a dressing table.I looked around in awe as soon as we got into the room. Momentarily, I forgot about my predicament, it looked like the beauty of the place had wiped my sorrow for a moment."This way ma'am." One of the beautiful ladies said with a smile.She gestured towards the adjacent corner of the room. And that was when I noticed that there was another door there.They led me to the door and opened it.I gasped the moment the door was opened, it was a bathroom, but not the type of regular bathroom you would see anywhere, neither was it the type we had back at home. It was the type befitting of royalty.I exhaled deeply, I must confess that this palace was even more magnificent than that of my parents.I didn't mind being here as a Luna, even though the alpha is merciless and wicked, I would endure all of that. Provided, I would be given the title of a Luna.The two women ushered me into the bathroom, and I was instructed to strip and get into the magnificent shower.I was given a kind of majestic treatment that made me feel special in some kind of way. It was a kind of treatment I had never received in my entire life, only Hilda got all the special treatment of a princess.A sweet-smelling shampoo was used to wash my hair, I closed my eyes and inhaled as I felt soft hands run through my scalp.So this is really what it feels like.After the eloquent bath, I was led out of the shower and then a bathrobe was wrapped around my shoulders."This way please." The other woman said, still smiling beautifully. Their smiles soothed my heart, which was already in shambles.I was made to sit on the chair facing the dressing table, I looked at my face in the mirror, and then suddenly I could not recognize the person staring back at me from the mirror.Was this me?I knew I never looked the best, I had never been given any kind of care in my life so I never particularly looked like a princess, but the face staring back at me from the mirror was completely out of it.My eyeballs were sunken, like that of a drunken skeleton, I had big eye bags and dark circles surrounding my eyes, making me look like a slave that had been starved for ages.I was brought back from my little world of thinking when I felt a light tug on my head.The lady who had grabbed my hair apologized immediately for applying too much pressure.I wanted to tell her it was okay, she did not need to apologize. But my tongues were tied.I was not used to being apologized to, I had only been used to being mistreated and treated like a slave whose life doesn't matter.I looked in the mirror again and saw that she was applying some sweet oil to my hair, while the other one had bent down in front of me and had started applying a lotion to my legs.Were these all that it required to be worthy to stand before the king? Was that why he repulsed me at first sight? Did I look dirty?I had no idea why a glint of hope appeared in my mind as they took care of me.Probably the king had instructed them to do this.When I looked in the mirror again, I was surprised at what I saw. She was done with my hair and I was looking like another different person. I looked like the princess that I was.I didn't know when I let out a small smile.They applied makeup to my face to make me look even more splendid.After all, was done, I was instructed politely to stand up.While one of them got me out of the bathrobe, the other one went to rummage through the wardrobe I had not noticed earlier on.She later came back with a beautiful dress that was put on me by then.I looked at myself in the mirror after I was done dressing up, for the first time in my life I felt like a true princess.The women stood back and looked at me from head to toe, then they smiled in approval."Come with me." One of them said and took my hand.I was led out of the room, into the palace. I took that time to look around again, this is beautiful.I walked carefully behind the woman as she led me through the palace, we climbed the stairs and walked through the hallway.I saw several doors as we walked, most of them had locks, while some of them had no locks. I wondered what was in the rooms with locks.We finally came to a halt in front of the room with the biggest and most magnificent door. I immediately assumed that this would be the king's chambers.I was right.The woman finally let go of my hand and knocked lightly on the door thrice.After there was no response, she held the door by the handle and gently pushed it open."Go in, the king will join you soon." My heart skipped several beats on hearing that from her, it was finally going to be my first night, I had everything to be worried about.I was going to have my first night with a total stranger, a ruthless king who I was certain did not have any care at all for me. I suddenly felt weak in the knee.I had always imagined my first night to be with Tony, I had fantasized about it several times and I had hoped for the day we finally would come quickly.I blinked my eyes to fight back the tears that were threatening to escape from my eyes as I thought of what I had seen at Tony's house the other day. I could ruin my beautiful makeup if I let myself cry.I gave the woman a weak smile as I took a step closer to the room, the room where my innocence would be taken against my will.Even the woman noticed the falseness in my smile, she noticed the sadness and pain that hid underneath it.As I was about to take another step, I felt her grab my hand and pull me back slowly.Then she whispered something into my ears.A shiver ran down my spine the moment she whispered those words into my ear.MATILDA'S POV Adrenaline rushed through me, and the blood rushed through my veins in such a hurry like they were in a contest on who would arrive at my neck first, to choke me to death.She gave me a small smile and squeezed my hand in hers before she finally walked away, closing the door softly behind her.I shivered the moment I heard the door closed.I had heard many doors close in my lifetime, but never had I been this nervous and terrified at the close of a door. Not even on days when my parents would lock me up for days and offer me food from underneath the door like a dog.At this point, hearing the door locked, I was certain that this was really it.There was no going back, not even a chance to run away.I laughed at my silly thought, it was painful laughter.It was a hard truth, I could not escape, not even if I wanted to.Alpha Moses is the strongest Alpha known with a very strong army that could take me down in an instant, and I was just a feeble wolf-less girl that could
MATILDA'S POV He held onto a part of my cloth and pulled it until it tore open, baring me in front of him.My instinct in a situation like this would usually be to recoil, and then my arms would fly into the defensive and cover myself from him. But somehow, I could not bring myself to do it.Maybe it was the great fear I had for him.I watched as his hungry eyes devoured my naked body, he licked his lips involuntarily as his eyes scanned my bare chest.I felt my chest rising and falling, and my skin tingled with each look his hungry eyes gave my bare body. Soon I was feeling hot all over.I thought I was going to faint anytime soon.Still, I could not bring myself to hide from him It was not like I could do what I wanted to, though. He was a powerful man and was capable of crushing me within seconds. So I stayed still.I almost jumped out of my skin when I suddenly felt his hands move up my arms, caressing them in such a way that felt sensual. It felt wrong, yet at the same time, it
MOSES'S POV I was coming out from the gym in my palace when I was informed by one of the palace's maidens that my orders had been carried out, the woman had been prepared and was waiting for me in my room.I licked my lips in anticipation, I had been told by her father that she was untouched. I looked forward to being the one to defile her. Doing that always gave me a kind of feeling of fulfillment, it always reminded me of the amount of power I controlled.Yes, I always go to the gym. I have a gym in my palace where I often go to work out to keep fit. Even though I was the alpha king and commanded a lot of power, I still needed to maintain my good looks.Plus, going to the gym would also help to build my power and make me more powerful.I let out a lopsided smile as I stretched my hand and collected the towel that was being passed to me by one of my concubines. She tried to rub my chest, but I forcefully pulled her hand away. This was not time for that, I did not have the time for h
MATILDA'S POV I opened the door with shaky hands, fearing that there could be people out there who would see my nakedness.I was scared that I would bare myself completely before the people out there, but still, I was scared of staying still in the room because I feared what he could do to me if I remained there.I walked slowly outside, looking around and feeling ashamed of myself that the house would see my nakedness.But much to my relief, the very moment I stepped outside, a white piece of cloth, which was enough to cover the torn parts of my cloth, was put over my shoulders.I turned to the part the cloth had come from and saw one of the two women that had prepared me earlier standing there with me.She smiled at me and gestured to me that we should go."Come with me," she said with a soft, calm voice.I followed after her and let her lead me, she put her arms around my shoulder and we walked till we got to the room they had prepared for me earlier.She opened the door and led m
MOSES'S POV I heard my phone ringing after I saw her working out of my room, so I picked it up to see who was calling again.It was my right-hand man calling. I wondered what could be the problem this time around again.He told me that my attention was needed at the meeting they were having downstairs about the well-being of the pack and all my other territories."There is a rumor going around about plans for an external attack on the park." He said on the phone.I clenched my fist, who would dare try to make plans to attack my pack? Was he not scared for his life?"Okay, I would be right there," I said calmly into the phone, even though I was boiling inside.With my fist still clenched, I tossed my phone on the bed and started walking angrily downstairs.I got to my study, where we normally had emergency meetings about anything about the pack and its well-being.I met Louis, already sitting there with some other men."How authentic is the source of the rumor?" I asked, in a clear v
MATILDA'S POV I took two steps back, and he kept taking several steps toward me, making me scared out of my wit."Who said you could lock the door?" He asked fiercely, his eyes burning with anger.I did not say anything, I just stared at him wide-eyed as he looked at me with his burning eyes."Why did you lock the door?" His voice thundered.I suddenly started to sweat profusely as I stared into his eyes.I had gotten myself into a lot of trouble just on my second day here, how did I sleep off so much that I did not hear him knocking, it seemed like he had been knocking for a long time.How would I explain to him now that I did not lock him out on purpose?I could see in his eyes that he was mad, and there was absolutely no way to pacify his anger.Even though I knew I could not pacify him at that moment, I still decided to try anyway."I'm… I'm sorry..." I stammered with my eyes on the ground.But that seemed to anger him the most.I could tell by the way his eyes suddenly lit up, i
MOSES'S POV I heard her whimper when I held her hand, for a moment I took pity on her a bit, I had never pitied anyone.I could see fear registered in her eyes for the brief moment that it was open before she closed it.I immediately held myself and called myself to order, I think I should stop scaring her.I remembered how my two previous wives had died, there had been a rumor going around town that I had killed them.But the truth was that I was not in any way responsible for the death of my wives, or maybe I was, indirectly.They had both committed suicide out of fear of me.When two of my wives died on our wedding night, people started a rumor around town that I had killed them. I had no idea who started the rumor, but I found it ridiculous.Although I had not tried to address it since then, I just let people think what they wanted to.I slowly let go of her hand, I would not want to make the mistake I made with the others with her too, and I would not want a repeat of that event
HILDA'S POV I opened my eyes to the rays of sunlight that were already seeping into my room from the window. The sweet scent of flowers hit my nose the moment I woke up. It was my instruction to my maids to always bring fresh flowers to my room every morning before I wake up because I love being woken up by sweet smells.And I was glad they stuck to it.I sat up and looked around the room, maids were standing in different positions in my room waiting for me to wake up while they served me, that is how it should be, I had always had them at my beck and call.I finally sat up on my bed, and they all bowed their heads in greetings. I waved off their greetings and beckoned on one of them to come closer with my fingers.I pointed to the flip-flops that were under the bed and asked her to get them for me."Can I run your bath now? My princess.""No. You should wait for me to do it myself." I said sarcastically."I'm sorry, my princess." She apologized and started walking to the bathroom.I
