Chapter 4.

Sofia's POV.

It was almost impossible to keep my temper in check as I ascended the stairway to my appointed room, Freya was concerned as I hissed continuously. We made a few turns and the maids bowed in respect as we walked past them, the guards also acknowledged my presence but I was too infuriated to greet them.

Freya slowed down and I was shocked, I wanted to get to my privacy as soon as possible.

"Why did we stop?" I asked, irritated.

"I'm sorry my Lady but you just seem not fine to me, is there anything bothering you?" She asked worriedly.

This time; I could see the sincerity in her eyes but I was too angry to reply.

"I'm just tired, can I get to my room please?" I asked.

She was taken aback by my cold response but she had no you and after taking a few more turns in the gigantic Mansion; we finally halted at the front of a huge door which I guessed to be the door to my room. She fished out a key from her inner pocket and unlocked the door. I was welcomed by the scent of freshness and some sort of alluring incense.

"Your room." She announced.

I gave her a ghost of a smile and went in, the room was huge enough to quarter and it was most importantly split into sections. There was a huge dressing table in a corner, an obvious bathroom, and other things I decided to check out later. The bedroom was also demarcated as the room was lavishly furnished.

"Draw me a bath," I ordered.

Though I was angry the fact remained that I stewed in sweat accumulated throughout my journey.

"I will do that right away," Freya said and then scurried into the bathroom, I could hear some movements there and half the time it takes to boil tea later; she emerged from the bathroom and excused herself to go out, she returned with two other maids.

I wiggled my eyebrow in confusion, was she trying to mock me? She understood the look on my face and gave me a bright smile.

"These are the maids assigned to you, My Lady, to bathe and run little errands for you." She explained.

"I can bathe myself." I sternly said.

I scoffed, was the Luis family being serious?

"Luna insists that they wait on you, according to her; you're royalty now and mustn't be allowed to do such menial jobs yourself," Freya added.

I scowled, Luna was overdoing things.

"I can bathe myself, I do not need you three in the bathroom but when I'm done you can dress me up." I insisted.

"But," Freya complained but I shot her a glare and she swallowed her saliva nervously.

"Get my clothes laid out by the time I'm out of the bathroom," I ordered and walked into the bathroom without waiting for their response.

I yanked off my clothing and stepped into the bathtub after making sure the temperature of the water was to my taste. I scoffed as the water came in contact with my skin, I washed my body clean and scrubbed my arms, I felt a little pain and I realized I had scrubbed apart so much that it began to bleed, I hissed and stepped out of the bathtub.

I took a clean towel and dried my body. By the time I went back to the bedroom, my clothes were already laid on the bed. I yanked the towel away and changed into the clothes. They were silky hence appealing to the skin, at least I'd get a good sleep.

The huge king-sized bed bounced as I threw myself on it, I closed my eyes and my supposed mate's face popped up, my eyes flew open and I boiled in anger. Someway, I fell asleep thinking of ways to wipe the stupid grin off his face.

I woke up energized and felt a stare, I yawned and sat up only to see Freya awaiting me.

"Good morning My Lady, you slept well last night and we're more than pleased, your clothes and bath are ready, Luna said to come for breakfast in an hour," Freya said cheerfully.

I gave her a weak smile and nodded my head, I rubbed the back of my neck with my palm as my head hurts, I remembered falling asleep the previous night and slept all through as I was tired from the journey.

I quietly did my morning routine, bathed, and got ready for breakfast. Lateness was something I detested with my entire being.

There were still a few minutes left before I'd be down for breakfast so I took advantage of that free time and checked on my escorts, they had been treated well and I was satisfied with the treatment they got.

I made a mental note to bank the alpha for his benevolence and kind-hearted nature. After all, we are royalty and I deserved such special treatment.

Tired of doing nothing; I decided to go sightseeing and I chose the training ground. My bones ached and I planned on stretching and practicing a little, Freya kicked against it. The poor girl was worried I'd soil my dress and I began to like her. After much persuasion and convincing, she took me there.

I watched from afar as the men practiced and I had to control myself as the urge to join them and spar for a few moments overwhelmed me. I would have done so but my dress restricted me. Feeling that the temptation was too much, I made to leave.

"What do we have here?" I heard a familiar voice say mockingly.

I turned to stand face-to-face with the last person I'd want to see that day.

"Martinez." I hissed and turned to look in another direction .

He chuckled and dismissed Freya with a wave of his hand, Freya bowed and made to leave but I caught her hand.

"Stay," I ordered.
