CHAPTER 5 - Rodwar's Assignment

ANASTACIA

ANASTACIA

I was astounded by the sudden rush of this unique emotion that I was feeling at the moment. I wanted to shake my head and remove whatever was clouding my mind, but I could not do it without getting the attention of the two men in front of me, especially that of the new butler referred by Guenzo.

I took a quick glance at his still naughtily smiling face and then motioned for him to speak. He bowed his head first and then looked at me. Thereafter, I heard the man’s voice that seemed to caress my every pore.

 “Queen Anastacia, I will be at your service as your new special butler. Command me if you please,” said the man, who I have never seen yet in my life but made my wolf wiggle inside me. A robust man. A man with a heavenly body. I wanted to touch every hump on his chest, torridly kissed his manly, red, full lips, and grab his thick, dark black hair, cascading down his shoulders. His eyes, oh man, his eyes, spoke volumes. It radiates bravery and naughtiness at the same time.

“My Queen, did I pass as your new special butler?” he asked again and I noticed his voice. It was husky, like that of a man who was at his heights of passion. My wolf, Tasia, was hauling now at this moment, wanting to come out from my soul.

To cover up my embarrassment, I raised my eyebrow and looked at him with a bit of dissatisfaction in my expression, “Err, a bit. You passed a bit. “Your capabilities will be tested at this moment.” I looked at him, directly into his eyes and there I was completely lost. Wrong move! Such a wrong move for a Queen like me.

“Your wish is my command, my Queen.” He sexily smiled and even bowed his head a little and then stared at me with his penetrating eyes. His orbs were dancing with playfulness.

I raised my right brow again before I spoke, commanding him. “Find me a young couple, who could do the dirtiest deed I could ever imagine. If they could awaken my sexual desires, you will continue to be my special butler, otherwise, pack your things and leave my palace.”

I thought, he would be shocked but to my surprise, he bowed his head and grinned broadly. “Consider it done, my lovely Queen. Tomorrow, they will be in front of you, and I will be your most special butler of all butlers in this kingdom,” he said boldly thereafter.

My eyes squinted. I found him too arrogant and conceited. Oh, nah, I found him bold, sexy, and devastatingly alluring!

I made a fake cough to hide what was in my thoughts. “Conceited huh? Prove yourself first, butler. Did anyone tell you that I am hard to please? Go and do your task! I want them in my bedroom, two days from now.”

He smiled gallantly before he bowed his head again and turned his back to leave.

“Wait! What is your name?” I asked, making him face me again.

“Rodwar… Rodwar, your Highness. You may call me, Rodwar.” He stopped walking and turned around to face me again. “Is there anything else that you wanted to ask, my Queen Anastacia?” he added. His eyes sparkled with wit and naughtiness and I could not contain feeling my heart beat erratically. He was handsome, oh, not only handsome but devastatingly gorgeous!

“Nothing more. Go now,” I told him in my Queenly tone as I motioned my right hand dismissing him. He bowed his head before he finally went out of the throne hall, with my eyes following him.

And then I heard Guenzo clear his throat before he said, “My Queen, did he pass your standards? Are you going to hire him then?” he asked politely. His expression was hopeful.

“If he passes the test that I just gave him a moment ago, then he will be hired,” I replied without showing any emotions to him. I don’t want him to notice the effect of that Rodwar on me.

"I hope, he will be accepted as your new special butler. I am sure, he will be better than me," Guenzo stated with seriousness in his tone. He sounded so sure about the man he just brought to the palace to replace him. I looked at him without uttering a word, and with that, he shut his mouth and bowed his head.

"You can go now, Guenzo," I said in my Queenly tone after a while motioned to him to go, to which he abided without any question.

I held a deep breath after Guenzo left. Would I really hire that Rodwar as my new special butler? My wolf said yes, but my mind said no. I should not hire him or else my peaceful world might be shattered.

My mind already made a final decision even if my heart and my wolf did not concur with such a decision. I waited for two days, with confidence that Rodwar would fail in the task that I had given him.

During those two days of waiting, I could not help to remember the scent of Rodwar. His scent seemed to have never left my nostrils since then. I longed to see his naughty smile and I even imagined touching his muscled chest. Oh, damn, it was already giving me complicated feelings. I don’t want him to enter my world but I want him, I want his presence. Indeed, I was getting complicated.

Two days after meeting Rodwar, I walked toward my throne hall. I need to give verdicts to two prisoners who raped alternately a she-wolf omega, who happened to be a kitchen staff of the palace. My anger was rising whenever I thought about these two omega werewolves. The pieces of evidence presented to me by the she-wolf omega, including her testimony, were enough for me to convict these two accused werewolves as guilty of the crime complained against them.

As I entered the throne hall, I noticed that the kingdom’s Beta was already there waiting for me.

“Your Highness, good morning,” Beta Markaso said as he bowed his head.

I nodded at him and said, “Beta, I am ready to give my verdict to our two rapist prisoners. Tell the Gamma to bring them in now.” My voice was fierce and my eyes I know, started to become reddish, which I immediately tried to control. I pacified myself. No one should know my secret, my hidden power, my real identity. I cannot kill those bastards the way I wanted them to be killed like pigs being roasted on fire. I cannot use the fire of my eyes to execute my punishment against them.

My Beta followed my order and started to mindlink the palace Gamma, who was also the head of the palace soldiers.

While waiting for the coming of the palace Gamma together with the two accused, an intoxicating aroma suddenly hit my nostrils and my heart started to pump vigorously. My forehead furrowed while my eyes started to scan around searching for where that scent came from.
