Adrian's POV
I wonder why she is so afraid of me upon knowing I wouldn't hurt her, I'm only trying to help her, to make sure she has a safe place to live. Where she lived before now was the den of lion, if Phoenix doesn't breaks her, surely his girlfriend would do and I don't want to see any Omega suffer.
I drive her to the apartment I came from still in the estate, which is wide and large like a college campus. I've been given the most beautiful block in this estate but it's also the farthest, secluded from other blocks with a flower garden and beautiful fence, a solid golden gate. From seeing this, I'm pretty sure it has been reserved for a great guest, perhaps myself.
At first sight of this apartment, a two storey building, full with servants and maid's upon my arrival, I became so impressed but none of these domestic aides did I got personally impressed by, I need someone like a personal side I can trust, a chef and guide especially as I'd be attending college tomorrow. A lycan prince can't attend college classes tomorrow for the first time in this pack without someone who knows a whole lot about the environment.
I wouldn't love to miss my way or run for lectures so as not to miss any part. I really needed to have someone who carryout same duties of a mother. My wolf has been pleased with her, I can't say why but to satisfy it, I decided to go with it. After a ten minutes drive, we arrive at the apartment which was rented out to me for free. I'll be staying there till my estate is completed, Im being provided with all I need here but still it's not too convenient for me. I can't wait till I'm out of here to my own estate.
"I hope I'll be taking Alessia with me to guide me?" I ask my wolf.
"Yes and so much more!"
"What do you mean by so much more?" I arch a brow, puzzled. I'm only bringing Alessia on because she is diligent from the way I see her and she is attractive, such that of a girl I would love to be seen with as an escort?
I expect my wolf to reply to my telling it that I'm not into any romantic relationship with Alessia after all she isn't my fated mate but it doesn't says anything. I choose to look pass it, opening the side of my car by which I'm sitting to go open the door for her but she had already done that, almost at the same time I did mine.
"When will you start behaving like a woman?" I ask her but she keeps mute, an expression I sense as fear. When she doesn't says anything, I sigh, then proceed to close my own door since she has already opened her door.
"Your Highness," I hear her call when I'm about to lock the car. She's all soaked in panic, I let out a slight grin so that she would be a bit free with me.
"What's that?"
"You're not supposed to be doing all these for me, I'm no one or is there anything you need from me that you're doing all these?" She asks and I take a step back in astonishment. Why is she even asking this? What does she suspects?
"Why do you ask such a question?"
"No, nothing!" She shakes her head, quite afraid. "I just asked. I should be the one serving you, not otherwise!" She replies. I knew that this is what she was going to say but I choose to ignore her. I walk right ahead of her leaving her staring at me by the side of the car, from where she follows me in. The gate is automatic, so it opens as I step close to it. I wait for Alessia to catch up with me least it will close against her, it only recognizes my face for now and unless the individual being recognized walks with another, it would close and not open for her.
Alessia arrives at my side, I gesture her in, upon getting in myself, the gate closed. I watch as she raises her eyes to gaze at the apartment before her, it's of more luxury than the one lived in by the Alpha and his luna. Merely seeing this for the first time, I decided to check inside to see who it was reserved for.
The Lycan king, family and his cabinet, upon their visit. "Since my dad is not here, I'm the lycan king," I said this to fit in into this house, have full authority. "Come in, let's go inside." I guide by the back, through the entrance door. Upon getting inside with her, we stop just by the door, watching as she lifts her eyes to survey the glamor and luxury with which the interior is designed.
"This is where we are going to live. I mean, you as my personal maid. You get that?" I point it out clearly, in case she is scared I would be going into an indecent relationship with her. Hearing me say this, she picks up some courage as could be seen from her face. I nod in assurance.
"Don't worry, you are safe. Let me show you to your room!" I lead her to the room next to my chambers. Since she would be my maid, a personal one as such, I need her close in case I need something at night.
Thirty minutes after arrival, the servants I requested of to come with Alessia's belongings arrive. With my order, they get all of them into her room, arranging them to suit her taste.
"Who's the leader among you?" My voice comes up in a deep, brash tone which sends shiver down the spine of the ten servants here. The eldest among them turns and walks nervously towards me.
"Your Highness, sir. I'm the leader!"
"Okay, good. I'm pretty sure you are scared of what I want to do with you?" I snarl, barring my canines. He nods his head nervously.
"It's not all about you, tell your Alpha and Luna that I want to have a meeting with them by 8 PM tonight. I have something of great significance to discuss with them, absence will attract severe consequences." I growl, pursuing them out of my house.
Alessia's POVHearing him talk about meeting the Alpha and Luna gets me anxious, I begin to wonder why he wants to have a meeting with me. It can because of me. There is nothing that will make him want to meet people he got angry with and left when the meeting was still on hold outside of me.My thoughts would be verified if he invited Alpha Phoenix and his girlfriend as well but he might just see them as lower, he is too superior to talk with them, either way it must be about me.I stand on one corner of the room thinking about my fate, then what Phoenix did to me, the rejection and public harassment replays in my head, tears starts to stream down my eyes to my cheeks."Have you forgotten you are before your prince?" I hear a commanding voice sound before me, I shift in horror. My eyes clears to reveal him standing before me. He moves closer to me, from where I decide to take a step backward. I need my own personal space."What's making you cry?" By his tone and facial expression, he
Alessia's POVI'm so amazed to be asked out this way by a lycan prince, of all lycans, he is choosing an Omega like me to ask out. No matter what, I know that there must be some secret intentions which is making him to ask me out. A prospective lycan king doesn't goes for a chosen mate in the wolf world except those who are getting older like in their forties who believe that they would not be meeting with their fated mates again.It's assumed and henceforth believed to be true that if a lycan prince or king goes for a chosen mate when he isn't old, then there is some secret he is trying to hide from the chosen mate and his people. Adrian has some secret before he would come to choose me as a mate. I don't deserve such.I look lost as I sit on Adrian's legs, I wouldn't let him lead me the way of doom by not asking why he wants me as a mate. 'A man's beauty shouldn't lead you to damnation!' This is one of the favorite cliches mom uses to say and since then I've picked it into my head.
Alessia's POV"Ask your Alpha and Luna to tell you." He responds with indifference in his tone, from here, I'm forced to look at Alpha Aaron and Luna Stevania, the sinister motives they had for me is still evident by the way they keep their faces."Alessia, I think you would return with us because we at danger if you don't get mated to our son who is soon to be Alpha of the pack, your dad will soon hand over to him!"I look at her like a piece of trash, but not too obvious. "How about Gracelynn, ma'am?""Why are you going by ma'am in addressing her?" Adrian casually asks because it isn't common to find a werewolf calling another werewolf, a Luna ranked by any other name apart from what she is. Even in the offices, they go with the titles of Alpha, Luna, Beta and Gamma, only the Omegas like me are called by their real name by the superiors."No, nothing." I smile, waving my hand."That's how she has always called me!" Stevania mutters. The next thing I see is Adrian taking his fist tow
Alessia's POV Even upon arriving in college, Adrian's mood hasn't changed despite the varieties of things I have done to ease him. As we arrive, it's thirteen minutes past eight, we are thirteen minutes late and I can attribute this lateness to the change in his mood, which made him a little slower in doing things. We are supposed to open the door, to go off to our respective duties but Adrian refuses, his face changes and it seems he wants to cry, seems like this but I know he would never do that. You hardly see a lycan cry because they are not only stronger in body and wolf, but in heart, the only thing capable of making them cry is the loss of a loved one. "Alessia.." "Yes, your highness." He pulls his hand towards me, and looks at me straight in the eyes, tears drain off it, in a flash, he wipes them off such that I begin to imagine if it was a dream or real. He places his right hand on my laps, brushes it, I would feel strange if it was before the romance, but I feel se
Alessia's POV Oh I remember now....... "Yes, he is my fated mate," I repeat this time with so much confidence so that no one of them detects the difficulty that I'm passing through. They would certainly laugh if they knew I attributed him as my fated mate because of one thing or the other when it's not so. This is a personal issue to reinvestigate. "I have no much time for you guys." I say this before I take off them, placing my phone beside my ears so it looks I'm in some important girls, it's an urgent case I need to go away to attend to. The truth is I'll find one place and take a seat, then I'll have to message Adrian of what I'm doing so he wouldn't go directly to the lecture theater without me, of course, he was looking for someone who would guide him through being new here. I'm making this entrance, if possible with our hands entwined. I eventually find a seat at the side of the water fountain in the college garden. I take out my phone from my bag which I had placed into af
Adrian's POV After classes, I wanted meeting up with Phoenix to confront him about his bullying my mate together with his girlfriend but I learnt that he returned home to have an important meeting with his parents and the pack elders. The pack elders are the Alpha makers, they are in charge of establishing a new Alpha in any pack. I learnt before now that soon he will be crowned the Alpha but who cares, I have no such time for him. Whether he is the crowned Alpha or not, I'll still give him what he deserves. I naturally hate him for being a bully, I came to see the bad side of him, which from there started making me hate him with so much disgust. If I can't get to see him today, tomorrow is going to be another day. Way into driving into the street that leads to the pack estate, I receive a call, it's from no one other than my dad, the lycan king. Something really important must have come up, before he decided to call. He doesn't just lies calling, particularly as he is getting older
Alessia's POV I remain in the chambers after Adrian went out to check he site of his new estate after his supervisor informed him of an urgent need. While watching the TV, my mind goes off to think of what just befell me, the decision of the lycan King. Everyone knows how powerful he is and how his words are sooner or later executed. Adrian has never let anything worry him, but I can see how worried he is in this case, even as he was going out. I yawn, feeling tired and frustrated, there's no how I can return back to Phoenix, he has a girlfriend he loves already and besides he doesn't loves me. I wouldn't be able to fight for love from a man, even though he is my mate. I rise up from the couch and head to the bedroom, which is part of the chambers. Like a heep of wood falling off a platform, I drop on the soft bed, moaning in pains, emotional pains. At other times, dropping on a soft, fluffy bed like this would bring out a sweet, blissful moan from me. Today is quite different. I h
Alessia's POV Adrian storms back to our residence, like an angry lion that has just devoured his enemies, then in the pack house, I can hear wailing from here. Even though I'm not as good as him in my sense of hearing, I can still hear this. I'm perceiving that something has happened. "What did you just do?" I scream at him even before he reaches the house but he passes by me refusing to say anything. It's at this point that I know something is wrong. I attempt to go straight to the pack house, see for myself and apologize in case of any eventuality but I hadn't taken two steps further when Adrian seized me taking me upstairs with him. "If you dare move, I'll lock you indoors for days, you wouldn't be able to see outside for days." "Are you threatening me?" "I give you my words!" He declares with great authority and doesn't says a word further. Two days later, I arrive on campus without him but he had assigned a driver and his chief security, the Acting Gamma to accompany me.
