Chapter 8

Hazel's Point of View

I opened my eyes slowly and I was surprised to see myself in a strange room. I blinked my eyes a few times to be sure I was not dreaming.

I sat straight on the bed and I rubbed my eyes slowly. The bed is so comfy and I would say I have a good sleep. My eyes fell on the window and I saw it was already late at night.

Memories of what happened earlier flooded in my head and I widened my eyes in shock. I am now married to the devil. No wonder he didn't appear in my dream. Turns out that my worst nightmare had finally come to reality.

Fear gripped my heart tightly. I guess we are now in the Dark Knight pack. Everything in the room was screaming luxurious. The wall was painted in white and black which seemed odd to me.

I remembered falling asleep after he touched my head. Did he use a spell on me? How can I sleep for that long in a strange place?

A knock on the door suddenly interrupted my thoughts. Is he the one? Is he the one that wanted to enter?

I screamed in my head as if that would stop the person from entering. I pulled the duvet closer to me, ready to hide under it. I can hear how my heart was slamming hard against my chest.

"Knock Knock"

The knock becomes louder. I guess the person was getting impatient already with the way the person was banging hard on the door.

Well, I don't think he is the one. Firstly, I did not feel the mate bond, and secondly. There is no way he will be at the door knocking when he can just push open the door.

He has no privacy for me. A man who is capable of intruding on my dream won't even think of knocking before entering my bedroom.

I suck in a deep breath to calm myself.

"Come in." I managed to voice out. My voice was low and could barely the heard. I doubt the person at the door even heard what I said.

The person pushed open the door and entered. I was expecting a stoic face person to enter with an angry expression on his face because I kept him waiting outside. But instead. A very adorable girl entered instead with a big smile on her face. Her smile is so charming and I love that

"Good evening my lady." The girl greeted me, bowing to me politely.

"Good evening," I replied softly. One would think that's how I used to talk. "Who are you?" I asked.

The girl flashed me a smile and walked over to me "Good evening ma, my name is Emma, and I am here to prepare you for the night. Order from his majesty." She said with a big smile as if she's thrilled to come here

"Prepare me for the night?" I asked rhetorically with a furrowed brow. My eyes widened in shock when the realization hit me hard. She wanted to prepare for the night. I am already married to their Alpha and the worst part is that we are even mates. I have forgotten about the wedding night. Will he deflower me tonight? That devil. No that must not be. I must not let that devil have me. What if I got pregnant after tonight? Will I be carrying his child? Will I carry the child of a devil?

No, that must not happen. I must not let him take advantage of me tonight. I would rather die than let him have him.

My eyes fell on the girl and saw her staring at me with her cute black eyes. She seems to be the same age as me or I will be a few months older than her.

I flashed her a sheepish smile "I don't think there is any need to dress me up for tonight or whatsoever. You can take your leave now." I said. Smiling politely.

The girl looked nervous and quickly went to her knees. She raised her hands and held them together in a pleading manner "My lady please, His Majesty can kill me if you do not allow me to do so. Please I don't want to die yet"

"What!" I almost blurted out. He will kill her because I said she should not dress me up? I feel a cold shiver run down my spine at the thought. This masked devil is so much more h heartless than I thought. I'm now scared for my life. Will I even last a week here before he kills me? I will never forgive my parents for what they did. They are the ones that landed me in this. They sent me to the Lion's den without even feeling remorse about it.

I glanced at the crying girl on the floor and a frustrated sigh escaped my lips. I also feel. like crying at that moment.

"You can come to dress me up. But please no makeup."

She raised her head and the sadness in her eyes disappeared instantly "Are you for real? Thank you so much, my lady. I truly appreciate it. His Majesty already told me not to wear makeup for you. "

She ran to the wardrobe excitedly and fished out a white, short revealing gown. She walked back to me with excitement written all over her face.

"I will have to change you into it, my lady." She said and I let go of the duvet so she could take off my clothes.

Some minutes later. She was done dressing me up and even combed my hair. She keeps on talking about how beautiful my hair is. And I seem to like her a lot.

She left after she was done, leaving me all alone in the big room. The dress is so revealing and another sigh of frustration escaped my lips.

I grabbed the duvet and used it to cover my body fully with only my head left out.

The Alpha scent suddenly hit me hard and I know he's around immediately.

I closed my eyes instantly and pretended to be asleep. I don't want to face the devil.

The door creaked open and the smell grew stronger. Fear gripped my heart tightly as I could hear his footsteps approaching.

I'm afraid my heart will soon jump out of my throat.

His tall dark shadow loomed over me and my heart seemed to be beating faster. I'm afraid he will hear how my heart is beating like crazy.

"His footsteps halted all of a sudden and I heard nothing afterward.

What is happening? Is he gone? Or what the heck is going on? Just as I was about to open my eyes. I heard his cold, terrifying voice.

"I know you are awake"
