Chapter 6

Isabella.

My wolf cannot be wrong, the scent I had just inhaled was when I fed him. He was my mate. I moved around the room opening up the curtains, so as to grant the room more access to fresh air. 

This could make him sleep longer. I recalled the terror and frustration in his eyes. I felt so sorry for him. I couldn't imagine what he was going through. I had never been in such a situation before. But from the looks of things it had to be painful. 

“You are so excited that he is our mate. I'm sure you know how we got here in the first place.” I connected to my wolf.

She sighed. “The mating bond makes it a totally different story. And finding one's mate is the happiest thing ever. It gives you a different feeling.”

Was this really true? At this point I won't be wrong if I think of the worst things. He was really my mate, the one the moon god had given me. Why does it have to be him? Why? “You don't have to question the moon god, whatever he does is to your favor.” My wolf said. We've been through a lot together, and feeling the excitement in her voice, I smiled as well. 

I shouldn't be a narcissist. 

What could I say? This was fate. I had lost my chastity to my mate and this had a way of making me feel good. Who would have imagined that this would happen?

I don't know if he had an idea that I was his mate. If he does, would he treat me differently? Would it change anything? 

Why was I asking myself questions he only had answers to? Just then the door was pushed open, the physicians walked in staring at me like I was a ghost. 

“How did you pacify him?” One of them asked. I couldn't explain how it happened so I stayed quiet. 

His other concubines rushed into the room, at least they were wise enough to stay silent. They didn't want to wake him up. Now it was all in their faces, they had to swallow their words back. “I would want everyone to leave the room so he can sleep soundly.” I commanded. 

With a frown, his other concubines left the room leaving the physicians behind. “Thank you.” They said bowing their heads. I was shocked by this, I wasn't expecting this. “You saved us from a lot and we are grateful. Looking at him, he would be fond after some rest but he would need to eat something. We heard he hasn't eaten since morning and it's already noon.” One of them said while the others nodded.

After they were done they left the room. I looked at the sleeping man. He seemed so calm and kind in his sleep but while he is awake, he's nothing but a beast. I felt like giving him a hard kick for the way he treated me in the morning. 

Using my hands, I knocked his forehead. With this I felt better, he would never have an idea of this. I dusted my hands happily as I made my way to the kitchen. I had to prepare his meal.

I decided to do it myself. Walking to the kitchen I thought about the best meal to prepare that could help him heal faster. And all I could think about was a very good ginseng soup. 

My maids followed me into the kitchen with the intention of helping out. “You three should go and rest. I want to do this all on my own. And you don't have to worry, I won't make any mistakes. I already have a hang on things. And I know where to find every ingredient I need.” I assured them.

They were reluctant to leave, “You guys can hang around, if I need help I would call out to you.” I waved them off. Finally after so much persuasion, they left. 

I thought about the ginseng soup I had in mind. This could help in his blood circulation and sooth his nerves. But I had no idea if he would take the soup alone. Anyways I got busy with cooking.

“See who is in the kitchen. Just because she had a way to sooth the king's wolf she already feels like a Queen.” The Concubine who had left in tears earlier walked into the kitchen with two other concubines behind her. I had no idea what their names were and I didn't care. 

I ignored her, I won't let her distract me. The other two let out a scornful laughter. “She's new here, so it's normal to have her overdoing things.” The other said. 

“You think he would kiss your feet because you helped him soothe his wolf? You must be dreaming. He wouldn't appreciate a thing. Now you must feel like a queen just because you have the title of Luna but I control things here. I'm the king's favorite, unlike you I'm more useful to him.” She bluffed. 

I raised my eyelids looking at the female before me, the King must be blind to have taken her as his favorite. The other two concubines who were with her were far more beautiful than she was. She disgusted me as her fellow female and even if I had come in the opposite gender, I would pick her even if I'm beaten to death. I felt so disappointed in the King, he was bad when it came to making choices. 

The smirk on my face was evident, she was currently glaring angrily at me. If she was here to intimidate me then too bad she came to the wrong person. I took a second glance at her all over again. 

The scene from earlier while she was crying flashed through my eyes and I giggled. Then her mascara was all over her face but now it seemed she had done a makeover. “What's funny?” She clenched her fist angrily.

She wasn't worth it, I couldn't exchange words with her. I stayed silent as I sliced some garlic and parsley. She moved closer to me, “I just asked you a question, how dare you laugh at me?”

“I currently have a lot of boiled water here, as you can see I'm cooking. I didn't call you guys here did I? If I splash the hot water on you guys, it would be in self defense.”

Just as expected she ran backwards, she cared so much about her beauty. Bunch of cowards! The only person who I would allow to bully me would be the King and that would be because of my family.

They stomped their feet angrily on the floor and left. My maid ran into the kitchen with excitement, from the look of things they had witnessed what had happened. 

After an hour, I was done. I dished his meal and took it to his room. I was shocked to see him up. “You're awake!” I said with a smile.

He stood up weakly, he had a frown on his face as he approached me. Using his hands, he hits the tray I was holding. I screamed out in fright, the soup spilled all over the place. He was about to leave the room, he stopped in his tracks holding his head tightly.

Looking at the mess, I felt like crying. This soup took me a lot of time to prepare. I felt a burning sensation around my left hand, looking at it, some soup had spilled on it. 

I ignored the pain, I bit my lips to stop me from crying. I held his arm leading him back to the bed. 

I had to get cold ice as soon as possible so as to ease the burn. “Is anyone there?” I called out. Some maids rushed into the room. “Please clean this up!” I commanded. I had to rush to the kitchen, any delayance would cause a scar.

“Get the hell out of my room!” he yelled at the maids. “What happened to your hands? Are they broken? Clean up the mess yourself. You are no better than them.” he shouted.

His words pierced my heart, I bit my lips harder. I bent down clearing the broken ceramics. After I was done I cleaned the mess and left his room.
