Judgemental Person.

Narrator's POV

Daphne walked her way over to her shared chambers with the alpha, heavy hearted as guilt fed on her in every way possible. She felt like a hypocrite as she had always told herself that she was not one for stereotypes, yet, she judged the alpha king the first chance she had gotten. She had judged him based on the rumors she heard of him without getting to know him.

As she walked down the halls, she recalled that the alpha had indeed spared her life which fought against the rumors. She had been rude to him on several occasions and he did not punish her for it but made her his chosen instead.

Was that not a win-win-win?

She felt terrible for her actions and regretted them deeply, she had become a very judgemental person which was against her own beliefs. Her heart pounded in her chest as she walked into their chambers and into the bedroom. He had changed into more comfortable clothes and sprawled out on the left side of the bed, he was not asleep but his eyes were closed as he silently anticipated her arrival.

"D-Dwayne?", she had stuttered unsurely with the hopes of gaining his attention. Hearing the voice of his chosen, his eyes snapped open and he sat up, giving her is full attention, "Can I talk to you?", he nodded giving her the go ahead. Before she began, she let a deep exhale fall out of her lips, "I am sorry for the way I acted towards you. I was quick to judge you based on mere rumors and I shouldn't have done that as it goes against everything I stand for. I thought you were punishing me and I should have known better but rather, I acted like a child and did some immature things. When I came yesterday, I was not expecting such. I sincerely hope we can move past this and start in a new light", as she concluded her speech, Dwayne could not help but beam with pride and happiness as he least expected this from her.

She had just given him another reason to swoon over her and thank the heavens that he chose her. Not hearing a response, Daphne started to get worried, was he shunning her out? Was he not contented with her apology? Was he-

"I accept your apology wholeheartedly and really do hope we can move past this. I register that I took you by surprise but I could not help myself", at his words, her cheeks heated up and her lips found a smile. The normal Daphne would have made a comment like; 'You think'- but now was not the time. "Lay with me", he told her, patting the space beside him,

"We should really take it slow", she sighed,

"I promise you, I will not try anything", he swore, she let out another sigh but nodded this time.

"Very well. Let me just change out of these clothes", she left into the dressing room and picked out nightwear from her side of the closet which happened to be on the right. The left side belonged to Dwayne, his clothes mainly consisted of dark colours and maybe a few whites here and there. She wore it and walked back to the room then climbed unto the bed, getting comfortable in the soft mattress, "Goodnight Dwayne", she called out,

"Good night Daphne".

Daphne's POV

I could feel his gaze on me as I stirred in my sleep, it was already morning? I felt like I could sleep the whole day, I snuggled deeper into the bed but stopped when I realised my hands and legs were in a very awkward position. My eyes snapped open on their own accord.

My hands were wrapped around a hard torso and my legs on another leg, Oh my lord! I quickly retreated my body from his and moved away, seeing as I had already invaded his personal space. So much for taking it slow.

"I'm so sorry! Why did you not wake me?", I asked him, my cheeks were heating from embarrassment,

"Do not apologize, why should I have awoken you? I saw no point in doing so", he said, sitting up, "Good morning", he smiled at me, his dimple more prominent. How he managed to look breathtakingly handsome at this time of day was unknown to me for I always look like a train wreck in the morning,

"Good morning", I greeted back, turning my head to hide my appearance, even though he had already seen me.

"How did you sleep?", I could literally hear the smirk in his words and I shot a glare at him making him laugh at my expense, I probably looked crazy right now. "Do you want to use the bath first or I should?", he asked, leaving the bed,

"You go on", I told him, he nodded and left into the bathroom. A moment later, Sarah walked into the room, "My lady, Good morning", she greeted upon seeing me,

"Good morning Sarah, hope you slept well?",

"Like a baby my lady", she smiled and I smiled back. Just then, the splashing of water from the bathroom caught her attention, she blushed, "I will quickly brief you on your schedule for today", she stated hurriedly. I could tell she was dreading Dwayne's arrival into the room, "You have breakfast with the alpha king this morning, afterwards you have a dress fitting for your ceremony and coronation, lunch will be served shortly after. The rest of the afternoon you have off, then dinner will be served by evening, that you will have with the alpha king", she bowed and walked out without saying anything else.

Knowing I had a busy day ahead, I left the bed and went to the dresser to choose my clothes for the day. I settled on skinny jeans, tank top and denim jacket along with heeled boots, gold necklace and earrings. I sat them all out and went back into the room. It was simple and casual- exactly how I liked it... Exactly how he liked it...

I blushed at the fact that I was oddly thinking about Dwayne in such a manner unlike the other times when I thought of him as nothing more than a beast out there to get me. The first day I met him, he did yell at me but I completely understood that I could be quite a Nagger and an annoying one at that.

By the time I re-entered the room, Dwayne was already out of the bathroom, he had just gotten out and I couldn't help but wonder how I enter the most awkward of awkward situations possible. The roles had been reversed as Dwayne had nothing on, other than a towel hanging dangerously low on his waist. His hair was wet from the bath he had giving him a sexier look and I couldn't help but envy the water droplets that ran along his sculpted chest to his well defined v-line. With every move he took, his muscles rippled leaving me to wonder how I had not yet melted to the ground.

In all honesty, this was not my first time of seeing a shirtless man, in fact, it was far from it. But this… this was different, this body was designed by the gods themselves, this body was created to mock me. I just stood there, staring at him shamelessly, my mind was telling me, practically telling me to stop eye-raping him but I couldn't. In my head, I had already thrown that damned towel to the other side of the room, pounced on him and greedily and selfishly had my way with him. At this point, I was sure my eyes were completely blacked out.

"Daphne?", his tone sounded unsure and I knew he had sensed my ungoldly arousal, "Daphne!", he called once more and out of annoyance I looked at his face, he looked uneasy... Almost uncomfortable, maybe even nervous. A blush tinged my cheeks as I realised what I had just done, I was checking him out so openly that it got uncomfortable for him. That, and I complained when he did the same to me yesterday. Lord, was such a hypocrite.

"I'm sorry", I looked down to my feet and rubbed my temples, I was such a fool. One minute I had told him we should take it slow, the next, I was practically on top of him then afterwards I mentally undress and rape him. His bare feet came into view, and he used a finger to raise my chin up so I could meet his eyes, his touch sent a warm and electrifying sensation through my body which only meant one thing;

The bond had been created.
