Chapter 4/ the wolf lands

Darling’s POV.

I groaned and rolled over on my side when the sun shone too bright through the window. My eyes snapped open and I’m laying on a soft bed with white sheets that smelled of flowers. I inhaled the fresh scent. I haven't smelled anything this good since I was a kid. How did I get here? Then like a rush of flood waters it came back to me, the gala Kazan, Ophelia, the plane I raised straight up and pulled the blanket to my chest and searched the room. I was alone in this room that’s bigger than the whole cabin I lived in with Nolan.

Everything was beautiful colorful flowers placed in a vase on the dresser two doors one bathroom and closet? I’ll check those out later. First I need to find Kazan and try to explain to him again what happened and tell him none of it was my fault, it’s Nolan’s. He should believe me after all he sold me to him for money. But mostly I want to ask him what he meant by what he said, “If a whore is what she wants to be than a whore she shall be,”

I never asked for any of this. I never dreamed in a million years I would be mates with a wolf and not just any wolf, a royal.

The door opens and Ophelia comes through the door. She’s wearing a blue sun dress with her hair down and makeup thick as I remember from last night.

“Oh good you’re awake. I thought you were going to sleep your life away,”

I rub my eyes and yarn. “I’m sorry about last night, I didn’t mean to be so much trouble,”

She raised her brow, “you’re no trouble at all. And it wasn’t last night it’s been a week since the engagement party, you sure can sleep,”

A week? I’ve slept for a week no way.

“Doctor said you were extremely sleep deprived and dehydrated. How bad was it for you at home?” She asked then pursed her lips. “I’m sorry that’s none of my business,” she bits her lip and places clothes on the dresser.

“These should fit you. I can take you shopping for clothes of your own you know your own style,”

“I don’t have a style, I just wore what Nolan gave me,” I told her and she shook her head.

“You will have a style now. You must be starving, why don’t you shower get dressed and come downstairs I’ll have lunch ready,”

“That would be great thank you,”

If I’ve slept for a week, a shower is a must. I probably stink and now I’ve soiled the nice white bedding on this heavenly bed. The bathroom was just as huge as the bedroom, it's filled with shampoo towels and razors. Ophelia must have stocked these things for me knowing I would be smelling after a week in bed.

I dried my hair with a towel. It will air dry the rest of the way. On the counter was deodorant, toothbrush, toothpaste, perfume, lotions and I don’t care to say I used them all.

I made my way downstairs trying to find the kitchen or dining room or Ophelia even. “Darling Kate, come on we’re going to eat on the patio it’s a beautiful day with cool breeze,” Ophelia said when she spotted me looking for her in a jacket closet. I followed her outside and took a seat at the round patio table. The back yard had a fireplace, a pool, a bar and a covered dance floor. This place is beyond beautiful and big.

“I wasn’t sure what you liked. You missed breakfast hours ago so I figured some sandwiches would be fine since you haven’t eaten,”

I nodded, “I like any kind of food,” I looked around my eyes searching everywhere. Ophelia giggles. “He’s not here, I asked him to leave us alone while you eat.”

Oh.

Disappointment must have shown on my face because Ophelia once again laughed. “He will deny it but he’s been with you since you got here. He’s pretty angry and I’ll admit I’ve never seen him this mad before and with his temper and rage I don’t know what he will do. All I can do is warn you to stay calm and don't provoke his already insanity.”

I nod in understanding why he’s so angry but he needs to understand that none of that was my fault. I never wanted any of it. Who would?

I dug into my sandwich and it tasted so good I can’t even remember the last time I ate anything. “When we’re done I can show you around the grounds, it’s a pretty big place.”

“Yes, I’d like that,”

“Good. I know you won’t be getting much freedom until he proves his point anyways. Kazan can be very hardheaded at times,” Ophelia warns me.

I’m not sure why I feel hurt that I hurt him even though I never knew he existed if I had my way I’d still be virgin and happy with my Mate but things aren’t different and that I had no control over it it was either do what My dad said or get the living shit beat out of me or worse have me killed by the Fae prince and I wasn’t okay with any of them but he knew how to scare me how to get under my skin and it worked, everything played into his hands along with Oberon something still don’t sit right with me why all of a sudden did Oberon care? What did Nolan really say to him?

“Earth to Darling Kate,” Ophelia waved her hand in my face.

“I’m sorry, what did you say?”

Ophelia raised her brow. “Where did you go?”

I shook my head. I'm not ready to share the things I’m not even sure about yet. Besides I like Ophelia but I don’t really know and everyone I’ve ever trusted has let me down. I had a best friend back home, Carry James. We were best friends until the day the boy she liked asked me out and of course I told him to get lost but she didn’t believe me and spread all my secrets around school. That was the day I stopped having people in my life.

I spent the whole day walking around the grounds with Ophelia, she showed me around the house and places in the house I should never go. All in all it was a good day, still no sign of Kazan but given what she said that’s a good thing because he has something planned for me and that scares the crap out of me.

Why? I have no fucking clue this guy is huge and scary very intimidating and knowing his a wolf and a royal at that he could literally break me in half and I would defenseless against him.

“You’ve really never seen the movie pretty woman?”

I shook my head. “No, we never really had a tv. What’s it about?”

She perks up and leans back into the couch. We’re in comfortable pajamas with popcorn and candy and junk food spread along the small coffee table. Ophelia thinks I’ve been kept hidden from the world because I haven’t really seen or did anything.

“Okay so, it’s about a prostitute and a billionaire. You're going to love it I promise,” she said and I narrowed my eyes at her and she frowned then when it came to her she made an “Oh” with her mouth.

“I’ll pick something else I’m sorry I never even thought,”

“No it’s okay. I want to see it,”

“You're sure? Because I don’t want you thinking I’m calling you anything or making fun of you. I would never do that because I don’t think you are whore Darling Kate, I think something else is going on and when your ready in here to listen,”

“Thanks Ophelia,”

She hits a button on the controller and just when the screen starts to play Kazan walks into the room and sits down beside Ophelia.

“Pretty woman? Again Ophelia,”

“Hey it’s a classic and Darling Kate has never seen it before,”

“Hmm,” He hummed. His voice caused my skin to prickle and I tried not to but I let my gaze fall to his.

“Having a whore watch a whore. This should be interesting,” He said and tore his gaze from mine. My chest squeezed at his words but I didn't say anything to him. I just turned my attention back to the TV and ate popcorn with Ophelia.
