20: Princess treatment


    Sophia


    He came and sat beside me. I was confused more than I had ever been. And my heart hammered


    in my chest. What was going on? I wanted to ask out loud but my throat was dry.


    He was so close to me that our skin rubbed against one another. I looked up at him and his face


    was split into a smile. He brushed my hair behind my ears and I looked down waiting for him to tell


    me what he meant.


    He cleared his throat, "You are going to train so that your wolf wille out," he said to me while I


    raised my head. He smiled at me and I was more confused at that time than ever.


    "How do you know she woulde out because of the training?" I asked him and I shifted away rim


    him. He was making me ufortable with the way he looked at me. I just couldn''t ce a hand in


    it. It was giving me the chills.


    The butterfly that flew in my stomach before died because of how he looked at me.


    He chuckled like I was talking rubbish and as much as I tried to hide the anger that reflected off my


    eyes, he caught it. His brows drew together and he assumed a serious posture by folding his hands


    across his chest.


    "It has worked for some of my pack members so it would work for you," he said and I looked away


    from his eyes which seemed intent on drinking me in.


    "I know it may have worked for your pack members, but I''m different. I''ve tried a lot of things. I just


    think I wasn''t blessed with a wolf. No training of any kind would bring her out." Imented and


    sighed for the tenth time that day.


    Maybe it was more, I couldn''t be sure but it was not less than ten.


    "Hush. You will be fine. You''ve always done great and this time wouldn''t be any different. I know you


    have gone through some hard times in your life but trust me when I say you will need this. And


    when you eventually get her, you will be thankful for it," he said to me while my eyes watered at his


    words.


    He just had a way of letting me know I wasn''t the trash I was made to believe over time. Maybe he


    was sent to save me from the hands of the wicked ones around me.


    Saying a silent prayer of gratitude to the moon goddess, I unconsciously hugged him. It was when


    his hands wrapped around me I was aware of what I did. I tried to break free but he held on tight.


    My nerves steeled when I felt him breathing down my neck. It made me aware of what he was, an


    alpha. He could im me or do whatever he wanted with me because I had no voice of my own.


    And worst part, no one would ever believe me just like how no one believed I didn''t kill Rudolph.


    He must have noticed my position because he pulled away from me and looked at me while


    checking my temperature with his hand on my forehead.


    "You''re sweating. Did I make you nervous?" He asked me and I shook my head against the word


    that was nestled at the tip of my tongue.


    "Don''t lie to me. It''s pretty obvious when you lie. Your eyes be unfocused," he said and I bit my


    lips at how well he could read me.


    I stayed silent while he watched me. I was well aware of his eyes that refused to leave my face,


    checking for any other emotion that would be caught. After what felt like forever, he sighed and


    stood up.


    "The servant wille to call you tomorrow. You should get some rest. If you need the library, a


    maid will take you there. It''s not far from your room," he said while I still felt his gaze on me. He


    continued, "That will be all," and walked out of the room, closing the door with a soft sound as if


    afraid that if it was louder, I would break from it.


    I was grateful for the silence of the room. The silence always brought some form offort that


    couldn''t be gotten from any humanpany. I was only saying that probably because I haven''t


    found anyone''spany I enjoyed so much.


    Alexander''spany was starting to get like that until he decided to break me. I sighed when I


    realized I was thinking about Alexander. I promised I would never think of him - happy memories


    only. But it was harder than I thought.


    Everything in my life circled my former pack and my thoughts always wandered there. And since


    Alexander was the Alpha of the pack, it was inevitable I thought about him. Another bad thing about


    my pathetic life.


    I got up and walked to the window. The pack house was not fenced like the one in my former pack


    and I could make out some pack members.

    My eyes caught on two children at the side of a house that had a white picket fence. They were


    ying with something that looked like a toy and I was transported back to my childhood.


    It was blurred. But one thing I knew was, I was never happy. The death of my parents took a part of


    my soul with them. I was once a happy little girl who thought that there was no pain or sadness in


    the world.


    Little did I know I was about to get the most grief-ridden life of all time. Tears gathered at the back of


    my eyes as I recalled the painful memories. The happy ones don''t know what kind of fate they have


    to see happiness in their lives.


    It was something I wished for daily to feel less pain. I moved away from the window, the memory of


    my childhood too painful to bear.


    I got to the end of the room, my hand on the doorknob. I was so bored out of my mind I decided to


    take Alpha Ryven''s advice. I opened the door and walked out to find a servant moving my way. She


    paused by me, contemting if she should bow to me or not.


    I was sure the news must have spread around the pack about how Alpha Ryven got into a fight with


    his sister because of an Omega. It was never heard of. Omegas were made to the lowest in the


    pack, serving the pack members.


    I smiled at her and stopped her by cing a hand on her shoulder, her vani smell wafting into my


    nose.


    "Do you know where the library is?" I asked her and she pointed in the direction of the north. I was


    bad at directions and knew I would never get it if someone didn''t show me. So I asked her to show


    me which she dly did.


    She finally made up her mind and bowed down to me. I followed her out of the hallway and went to


    the library. On getting there, my jaw almost hit the floor from the sheer might of the library.


    It was huge and filled with different books. There was adder at the edge of the room to be able to


    get the books to the upper part of the shelves. I heard the servant chuckle before the door was


    closed with a click.


    I picked a spot by the window, settling for a romance book by a female author. From the first page, I


    was hooked and didn''t notice the sun had gone down.


    I looked outside the window after some hours to find it already day out. My back made some


    crackling sounds when I stretched and I decided to retire for the room. The novel was one hell of a


    read. I experienced everything the protagonist felt.


    In a way, it was simr to my life but had a sad ending. I could not help but think if that was how my


    life would end; without achieving any of my goals. I didn''t let the thought bother me too my while I


    ate my dinner.


    I finished it, bathed, and retired to bed. Soon, I was fast asleep, the events of the day catching up


    with me.


    I was awoken by the sound of knocking on the door. The same maid of the day before came into my


    room with a smile on her face while I groaned audibly. It seemed like I only slept for minutes. I was


    still groggy and tired, my muscles aching terribly.


    It was probably because of my sitting position when I was reading in the library. I was so engrossed


    in the book I didn''t take notice of how I sat until I got to thest page of the book.


    The girl didn''t say anything but instead, went into the bathroom to prepare a bath for me. I felt it was


    old-fashioned. I could take care of myself but she insisted.


    "I can do it. I mean I have been taking care of myself since I was little," I told her when she refused


    to leave the bathroom, her head bent low to the ground. But her shoulders gave her away of how


    stubborn she was.


    I got to the tub to find hot water in it with a mixture of rose oil and some other ingredients. She left


    when she found out I was more stubborn than her.


    I took my bath and wore one of the numerous training outfits in the closet. After that, I followed the


    maid out of the room toward the training ground. There, I met a stern-looking man waiting for me.


    The training room was arge room at the far end of the pack house. It contained a lot of weapons


    which anyone can use to fight. The maid left us alone in therge room and I was suddenly aware


    of my naked arms. I rubbed them together trying to rid of the nervousness that threatened to


    ovee me.


    The man was a huge man with rippling muscles and bulging biceps. His eyes hardened when he


    caught my eyes roaming his body.


    "No need to ask who you are. Call me Stone. I don''t tolerateteness. But because it''s your first


    time here, I''ll let it slide," he stopped and walked over to where I stood. We were in the middle of the


    room, a soft rug underneath our feet.


    He continued, "We would be training here from six in the morning to six in the evening. Any


    question before we start?" He asked me and I opened my mouth. I was sure my eyes were as wide


    as saucers.


    "Six in the morning to six in the evening?" I managed to ask as my heart dropped to the pit of my


    stomach.


    "Yes, it was a special order from Alpha Ryven. We have to awaken your wolf in the shortest time


    possible," he said with a booming voice and I swallowed hard.


    The only thing I could focus on was what he said - awaken my wolf in the shortest time possible.


    But why?
