Chapter 5

Isabella.

Looking at the shut door, I felt a pang of pain in my heart. I had just lost my most valuable asset – My chastity. And this is how he treats me like I was nothing but trash. 

Tears streamed down my face, I had no idea why I was currently sulking. He had stated his demands right from time. I was Luna but had no authority whatsoever. Why do I keep forgetting this? I wiped off the tears. I knew what I was in for from a

day one.

My legs still felt so weak, and my lower abdomen hurt like hell. Withstanding the pain I was feeling, I got off the floor and walked away. He would be pissed if he still finds me here. It was all my fault, how could I have overslept? 

But this wasn't the main issue, I had no idea if he made use of protection or not. “I'm sure he did, he clearly said I can't get pregnant. He would have protected himself for sure. After all, he wouldn't want a slave like me to carry his child.” I mumbled, beneath my breath. My virginity was nothing to him but it was a big deal to me.

Walking into my room, my maids were already waiting for me. Their eyes widened in shock as they looked at me. “Is anything the matter? What's wrong?” Right now I feel so confused. 

Leah walked up to me scanning her eyes all over me. This made me feel uneasy. Could it be that I had blood stains all over me? I followed her line of sight and I found nothing wrong. The stares I was getting from them made me panic. 

Maya and Katie stood there as well, while Leah did the inspection. “Ma’am, is this what I think it is? The last time we checked, this wasn't the cloth we chose for you. How is it that you are currently wearing the Alpha king's pajamas?”

“His pajamas?” I muttered looking at the cloth I was wearing. It was really his. Could this be why he was so angry at me? How then did I wear this? 

“Yes, this belongs to the King, he could kill you for this. Did he see you with his personal clothes?” Leah said in horror, her words inflicted me with so much fear. I was already imagining my execution. 

Truthfully I had no idea how I got into his clothes. Did I sleepwalk around his room and wear it? “Your highness, you look. Confused.” Katie said, looking at me with worry. I raised my eyes looking at her, “I have no idea how I got into his clothes.” 

They widened their eyes in shock, “This could be the reason why he sent me out of his room. I must have sleepwalked.”

This was the only explanation I could derive from this. Knowing that heartless tyrant King, there's no way he wore this on me. I had to wear it by myself.

Leah held my hands leading to the washroom. Looking at the hot bath she had prepared, I felt so grateful. This was what I needed at the moment. Tears streamed down my face, “You don't have to cry, things would get better.”

I turned my face looking at her, she won't understand how it feels to give out something so special and it's unappreciated. With her help, I got into the hot bath. Leah sprinkles some rose petals on the surface and also rose oil in the bath. I rested my head, closing my eyes to my world. This bath had a way of soothing my wounds. 

After half an hour the water was already becoming cold, so she helped me out of the bathtub. “Use this ointment, it would numb the pain. And you would heal completely.”

I was stunned by this, “How did you know?”

Leah chuckled, “Your walking changed.”

I laughed with embarrassment, so that was how? After applying the ointment, I had to say, I felt far better. At least the moon god was considerate to have given me nice maids. Maya and Katie brought me breakfast, I ate it so fast. I didn't realize I was this hungry.

After a few minutes they cleared the dishes. “Something isn't right?” Leah said as she made her way fully into my room. 

Her words caught my attention, “What's wrong?” I was already so tired, I needed to take a nap to regain my sanity.

“The king's concubines are lining up In front of his chambers. This has never happened before.”

The scene of last night flashed through my eyes and I felt disgusted. It seems he was nothing but a sex freak. “Isn’t it obvious, they are his concubines. They are meant to warn his bed.” I sneered, he still wasn't satisfied. Now he wants to have sex with all of them?

“Anyways, please I want to take a nap for now. I'm so tired, if there's anything I have to do, we could do it later. If anything urgent comes up, wake me up.”

Hearing this excited my room, I laid my head on the soft pillow. Looking up at the ceiling, I counted a few numbers and drafted off into my sleep.

*********

“My queen,” Someone called out to me softly. I furrowed my brows in a slight frown. “My queen,” I heard the voice calling out to me again. 

“Umm.” I muttered in my sleep, I felt a warm touch and jerked up from the bed. I rubbed my eyes warmly trying to phantom what was happening. 

“Leah..” I muttered, as I looked at her. 

“Sorry to wake you up,” she apologized. 

I wasn't offended by this at all, I knew something must have come up. Could it be that I was in trouble again? Could it be that I slept all through the king's dinner? This would be disastrous.“How long have I been asleep?”

“For an hour now.” I heaved a sigh of relief, this means it's still morning or early afternoon. “There's a problem,” 

Hearing this, my heart skipped a beat. “What happened?” I looked around the room searching for clues. Maya and Katie weren't here. 

“It the Alpha King, something is wrong. His concubines have been trying so hard to pacify him but it isn't working. The physicians are restless, they don't know what to do. According to them, it had something to do with his Wolf.”

I scowled, that served him right. “How does that concern me? He can suffer, I don't care.” 

“Please, you could help us out of this. The whole palace is in a state of chaos.” She begged. I thought about it for a second, making him suffer would make me as wicked and heartless as he is. 

I got off the bed heading to his chambers, I was shocked by the sight before me. Some guards were lying unconscious. 

Some of the concubines were screaming out in pain. I thought Leah was exaggerating when she said the place was in a state of chaos. I was about to get in when a body flew In front of me hitting the hard wall. He fell with a loud thud, I'm sure a few bones would be broken. I shivered in fright, this was my chance to run away. 

It seems everyone here wasn't willing to get into his room. He detest me so much I'm sure he would break me into pieces if he set his eyes on me. 

Five physicians stood beside the door shivering in fright, I could easily identify them because of the costume they had. The one who had been flung earlier was also a physician. “Can't someone get in and give me an injection. Even if it's a sedative to calm him down and make him doze off?” I asked.

One of the physicians glared angrily at me, “And what do you think we've been trying to do since? Five of us now are in pain, their bones are broken.”

I widened my eyes in shock, “There are ten of you? And no one could hold him down?”

He smirked, “Just when you get an inch closer to him, he gets so angry and throws you out. How then can any of us inject him? Here, if you think you can, be my guest.” He said handing over a syringe to me. 

 I swallowed my saliva abruptly, “No Thanks,” I retreated backwards. I was of no use here. I wouldn't survive this, the King would kill me. I peeped through the room and saw the terror in his eyes, sending shivers down my spine.

The Concubine I had seen with him yesterday confidently walked into the room. She had this pride smile on her face, “Get the hell out!” I heard a loud angry voice. She rushed out of the room in tears, I held my stomach and burst into laughter. Everyone turned around looking at me, I had totally forgotten where I was. 

I cleared my throat and maintained a serious face. Something in me felt so sorry for him, I felt this connection I couldn't explain. It was pushing me towards him, I held the door knob about to go in. “His favorite concubine couldn't pacify him, what makes you think you can. He would fling you out.” The other concubines said. I could hear their whispers, they were making fun of me. 

 In fear, I walked into the room. His head was bowed down to earth, closing the door attracted his attention. My heart shook vibrantly, it seemed like it could fly out of my chest at any moment. 

I avoided his eyes and made my way towards him. I sat beside him on the bed embracing him in a tight hug. “Your heart is beating too fast.” He said with a frown. 

“That's because I'm afraid.” 

Surprisingly, he stayed silent resting his head on my shoulders. I ran my hands through his hair singing the lullaby my mom used to sing for me when she was alive. The Lullaby would surely calm his wolf down. 

 After a few minutes, he was already sleeping soundly. I heaved a sigh of relief. With difficulty, I laid him down on the bed and covered him with the quilt. Just then my wolf senses highlighted. The scent of moist soil and cinnamon invade my nose. My eyeball changed color immediately, “Our mate.” My wolf said with excitement. 

I couldn't believe it, I looked around the room. There was no other person, I moved closer to him, this scent was coming from him. How can he be my mate? “He is our mate, we've found him.” She said with excitement. I frown, why was she so excited? Was having a heartless mate something to be proud of? So this was the reason I felt attracted to help him?
