Chapter 2

I took a step backward, not wanting to be a part of any plan she had for me.

"We can send her away now before the Alpha sees her," the worker told the Luna.

"That would be easier than what I have in mind," Luna Trina responded.

I again swallowed as I tried to visualize what the heck she had in mind.

"Send for the guard now to take her away before my mate returns," Luna Trina ordered the maid.

As her worker was about to leave the room, the door suddenly opened and the dangerous and handsome Alpha entered the room and closed the door behind him.

I stared at him. I didn't want to stop looking at him. His attractive appearance was like drugs to my eyes. He looked like a beautiful rose, but a deadly one if you should touch it. The Alpha had light brown eyes that looked like they were glowing and long dark brown hair that hung below his  strong shoulders. He was very tall and well built. His body was like an indestructible machine. I carefully gazed at him, watching his every move as he walked toward his beautiful Luna, while staring at me. My body felt like it was melting from his powerful stare.

"Is this my concubine?" the attractive Alpha Maximus asked his mate as he turned to face her.

His voice was so powerful that it echoed in the room. His voice was as strong as an avalanche.

"I've chosen someone else for you," the Luna answered him.

"You may leave now," the Luna ordered me.

I was so happy, I hurriedly began to leave.

"Stop!" Alpha Maximus instructed me.

I did so right away and turned to him at once.

"I want her as my concubine!" he commanded his Luna as he stared at me.

I wrapped my hands around my body, feeling naked by his hard stare. His long stare felt like he was stripping me naked with his eyes.

"But the other concubine is much better," the Luna said, trying to persuade him to turn me down.

I wanted him to take his mate's side as well, so I could be out of there faster than lightning.

"She seems fine to me," Alpha Maximus said. He then turned around and exited the room.

The attention of the Luna and the maid was now on me. I felt so uncomfortable. I felt like a goat, or any other farm animal, being auctioned to the best buyer. I felt like I didn't own myself, like a slave.

"What are you going to do now, Your Luna?" the maid said with great worry, knowing my presence was her fault. She should have done her research before choosing me.

"When our Zeta is back from the war tonight, we'll see if he can help us out," Luna Trina answered gravely while she and her worker continued to stare at me.

"For now, get her cleaned up and attired properly, since she will be dwelling with us for quite a while."

"Yes, Your Luna," the maid answered.

"Good, now what I have to do is to keep my alpha mate away from her until his brother, Marcel, comes to help me out," Luna Trina said and turned to leave.

I went over to the bed and sat, crying. I didn't want to be a concubine. I didn't want to be devirginized like that by the second most high ranking leader of the pack. I wanted my first time to be with my mate, the one I would love until death.

"Stop the crying and please follow me if you don't want to be in any trouble," the maid said to me. She was a short, stout, dark haired she-wolf, seeming to be in her early forties, wearing a silver outfit. Every female worker in the pack leader's home seemed to dress like her. 

I wiped away my tears and followed her.

We soon were inside a large bathroom. Inside the bathroom was a large bathtub, the largest I'd ever seen. It was filled with water mixed with a bath product that smelled expensive. Around the large bathtub were two other female workers. They were dressed in silver attire as well, but their design was much different from the dark haired worker. It seemed that the design of their dresses matched their job roles. Their dress had a small white circle embroidered on their left breast.

"Give her a bath," the dark haired worker informed the two others.

She gently pushed me to them. I stiffened my body, refusing to be given a bath by them. I didn't want them to see me naked. I felt uncomfortable.

"Do you want the Luna to know you're giving me a hard time?" the dark haired worker asked, upset.

I quickly stripped myself naked and tried very hard to hide my naked body as I walked over to the large tub and sat in it. The water felt so good against my skin and the fragrance began to relax me in that very awkward moment.

The two female workers began to cleanse me. My eyes closed tightly as their hands went all over my body. I hated it. Within a few minutes, finally and gladly, my uncomfortable bath was completed.

"You better get used to them giving you a bath. From now on, you won't be doing anything for yourself in this castle other than to feed yourself, concubine," the dark haired worker informed me as the two workers helped me out of the bathtub and wrapped my body with a large white towel.

My stomach churned nervously. I hated what she had said. They began to dry my body. I allowed them, knowing I would have to get used to being treated that way. They gave me another towel and soon I was brought back to my room to get dressed. As they were about to attire me, the door opened. I quickly held the towel to my naked body on seeing who was entering the room, wishing that I had gotten dressed faster.

It was the Alpha, Alpha Maximus Wolffinton. The three maids lowered their heads right away. 

"Leave!" he ordered the workers as he looked at me. Within his eyes, I could see great desire. He was desperate to remove the towel from around me.

"Your Alpha," I said and lowered my head right away, as I should for high ranking wolves.

"Raise your head, she-wolf," he commanded me. I heard his powerful footsteps slowly approaching me.

I raised my head, obeying my Alpha, and nervously bit my bottom lip, while my body began to tremble, terrified of what would happen next. His Luna felt very threatened by him being my first which could cause a big conflict between her and me. A conflict with a powerful wolf was something I wanted no part of. Neither did I want any conflict with any other wolf.

"Your Alpha, can I get dressed?" I softly asked him, hoping he would see I was very uncomfortable with his powerful presence.

"Who is stopping you?" he asked me with his thunderous voice as he stood close before me and gently held one of my hands in the palms of his strong hands. He held my hand like a delicate object, something of his that was very precious, something he didn't want to be damaged or scratched.

My other hand tightened around my towel, praying it didn't fall from my naked body.

I stared into his glowing light brown eyes. Soon I shyly lowered my head, while I prayed for the Luna to enter the room and see us. My heart skipped a beat as he moved his hand to my chin. He carefully returned my eyes to his. I was so scared as I gazed into his eyes. I lowered my eyes to his lips.

"Such a beautiful she-wolf you are," he said, his soft lips slowly moving as he praised my physical appearance.

My eyes soon went to his long brown hair that passed his shoulders.

"Look at me!" he commanded me.

Again, I obeyed my Alpha.

He tilted my chin, bringing my head closer to his, and I watched him move his lips to mine. My heart raced heavily in my chest and my lips trembled. The door suddenly opened and swiftly, I stepped backward, away from the Alpha. It was his Luna, Luna Trina Bloode-Wolffinton who had entered the room.
