Chapter 7

Raven's POV 

Asher led me to a room, the room was so dark, you could sense the lack of a feminine touch here.

“Well, this is our room Raven,” he said, switching on the light.

“But it’s just one bed here. Are we sleeping on the same bed” i asked him

“Yes Raven, i can’t allow my mate stay far from me” he says 

“But in my pack, my mother never stays in the same room with my father ever” I say looking up at him.

“Well, maybe that’s your pack’s way of doing things. But, we don’t do that here in Shadow pack.

I want you close to me, it helps calm my wolf and me”. He says with a hint of want and desire in her eyes.

“Okay, I understand. I also feel the same way. What I mean is that my wolf totally agrees with you on that”. I said and I could see him trying to hide his smile.

“Well then, let me leave you to change so you can come down for dinner”. He says, kissing my forehead before striding out of the room, closing the door behind.

It all felt so surreal, with Asher out of the room I could finally explore the bedroom.

The room wasn’t what I envisaged, but this goes past whatever expedition I was forming.

It’s a large spacious circular room with a high vaulted ceiling.

Ray of moonlight streams in through tall arched windows, illuminating the rich furnishings.

There’s a massive bed draped in black velvet, a massive oak walk-in closet, a plush armchair by a crackling fireplace that flickers and glows. Bookshelves lining one side of the wall filled with different books,

There’s a massive mirror by the side of a well decorated dresser.

My stomach rumbles again reminding me to hurry up and get down to dinner. Taking off my clothes, I walk into the bathroom.

I’m in a glorious state of the art bathroom. Shower is enormous and has a frosted glass pane.

It has four shower heads. By the sides is a bathtub made of marble, glistening like it had never been used.

The intricate tile work laid out in black and white mosaics is stunning. I step into the luxurious shower leaving the bath tub for a later day.

Hot water cascades over me. I closed my eyes and let out a contented sigh.

For a moment, forgetting every strange thing that happened earlier today and simply enjoying the shower. 

Washing up quickly, urged on by my growling stomach, I turned off the shower and wrapped myself in a black fluffy towel by the side.

I pad back to the room feeling refreshed but hungry.

A dress has been laid down on the bed for me to wear. No doubt the work of Asher. 

The dress fit just perfectly, surprising me, how did he know my size? This dress must have been expensive.

From the texture and feel in my hands, it was made from silk, very smooth to touch and screams luxury.

I didn't know what to do with my hair, it was still wet from the shower, so I just packed it up in a messy bun.

On the dresser were all sort of feminine products, very expensive brands.

Make up of different brands and different perfumes adorned the dresser.

I'm not really a fan of make up, most days I don't even use it except to cover up my eye bags.

I don't want Asher to see me as a plain girl, without makeup and everything. I want him to say I'm pretty 

I blush at my thoughts and my wolf just huffs, annoyed that I'm wasting time here, keeping her away from her mate.

She just has to suck it up, he's also my mate and I really want to look good for him

He stood up for me today, he made me feel safe and comfortable.

Maybe, just maybe fate has decided to have mercy on me finally, by bringing me a worthy mate.

I can get too relaxed now,I've learnt that good things don't come to people like me without consequences.

Maybe, things don't look the way they are, what if Asher only pretending to care and one day he'll also torture me like my father.

My wolf growls at me, but she doesn't understand, I'm not thinking the worst. I've just learnt not to be happy at things.

I quickly dash some powder on my face, putting mascara on my lashes to give them more volume.

Then finally, with a little red lipstick, not too much, just enough to enhance my lips. 

I check myself in the mirror once more and see that I'm looking good, not too showy, just the right look.

I quickly put on the dress and head downstairs for dinner.
