Chapter 5

 Dylan brought out his phone.

"See. This is exactly what I want my new room to be like and I'm giving you just twelve hours" he said.

Marcus' eyes widened as he saw the picture on his phone. He felt like he was about to be sentenced to death by hanging.

Everything in the room that was in the picture he was staring at looked only befitting for a wealthy King. Not them.

Their pack was a small and not wealthy one. How could they get such luxuries in the next twelve hours? If they spend so much just for a room, they will have to suffer for months.

"Your Highness...... This is too much for us to afford" Marcus said like he wanted to cry.

" Then you are so incapable," Dylan said blankly.

" We are but a small pack......"

"Not of my business Alpha. Get it done" he said and lifted his leg to leave but he was stopped again.

"The picture," Marcus said.

Dylan didn't reply, he just walked out. 

"I will get it across to you."

It was Lucius, Dylan's Beta that replied and quickly followed his King.

Marcus felt like running mad. He started to break things in anger. 

"Ahhhhhhh" he shouted.

His Beta knew if they don't start now they wouldn't be able to meet the King's deadline. So he quickly ran after Lucius and collected the photos quickly.

"Where are we going?" Lucius asked.

"A restaurant or something" he replied.

They were driving from one restaurant to the other but all were closed because of the Alpha's wedding. But then one small one was opened.

"Isn't that a restaurant?" Dylan asked as they passed by it.

Lucius looked at him surprised. What they were looking at was more like a hut than a restaurant.

With Lucius's experience with Dylan, he never enters anywhere small or not classy. Now he wants to go into that place.

"You want to go in there?" He asked, shocked.

" Why not if it is neat? I'm starving here" he said.

" We should have stayed at the pack house to eat, " Lucius said.

" No, I don't trust them."

Lucius was speechless. Well he's not totally surprised, Dylan was a very mysterious one.

They parked and entered the small restaurant. From the look of things, it was not only small but an old one. But then the owner managed to keep it neat.

"Sorry we are not open today" a voice came.

They didn't say anything.

Then an old woman came to them. She paused when she saw them. She looked quite taken aback.

They all stared at her. 

Lucius remembered the old woman quite well and she also remembered him.

No one needed to tell the woman who they were. She already knew.

"Your Highness" she bowed.

"I need food. Can you get me that?" Dylan said.

" Yes, your Highness," she said. "Please have your seat" she said politely.

Then she walked briskly to her kitchen. She couldn't help but to wonder why the King chose to eat in her kitchen.

In the past she only had older people who would come eat here. The younger ones thought her food was too old fashioned and boring to eat. But now a whole King was seated here ready for him to be served by her.

This made her hurry up. In no time she was sending food to their table.

"Don't you have help?" Lucius asked.

He saw that she was the only one serving them.

"No sir, my granddaughter who might have helped is ill" she said.

" Oh your granddaughter. How is she doing?" He asked.

" She is doing fine now. She's asleep" she said with a smile.

Lucius nodded.

Dylan was already eating. He was eating with one hand and scrolling through his phone with the other.

"Your Highness, why do you want them to spend such money when you are not planning to stay long" Lucius asked.

He really pitied those people. He didn't know how poor they are but then he knew with the expression on their faces that what Dylan ordered will not be good on them.

"I hate inconveniences," he said.

"Can you have pity on them? What you requested can't be gotten anywhere near. Your time frame is too short" he said.

" They are werewolves," he said.

Lucius didn't pester him anymore because he knows that doing that will be at his own detriment.

Selena, who was sleeping, woke up. She didn't know what her grandmother gave her to make her sleep. Her pain wasn't gone totally but then it wasn't as painful as before.

She then walked out of the room to go see her grandmother. Smelling the aroma of her cooking, she leaped for joy. She hasn't eaten that day.

When she got outside to the restaurant, another scent hit her nose hard. She paused and sniffed. She sniffed again.

That smell soothes her pain and she felt like something was taking away from her. Seeing how peaceful she became at the smell, she sniffed in again but then something was done to her.

This was exactly how she felt when she found out that Marcus was her mate. 

The moon goddess wouldn't be wicked to give me another mate right after the first mark another woman and refused to reject her still. She thought.

"It's not a mate. It's just a nice smell somewhere" she said to herself.

She slapped her face gently to reality. But then by the time she looked up, she saw two men staring at her.

"Mine!"

"Mine!"

The two men chorused and Selena almost fainted.
