MATILDA'S POVI made up my mind to ignore the scream and go back to my room, after all, it was none of my business, and I was not even supposed to be outside my room in the first place. I started heading back to my room when I heard the sound again, this time around even more loudly. It seemed like she was calling for help.I looked around the hallway, but there was no one close by to help whomever it was that needed help, I was the only one, and I found myself not being able to ignore the call for help anymore, someone could be in danger, and I would not be able to stand it if something happened to the person, and I knew I would have been of help.Without thinking about the consequences of leaving my room without permission, I ran to the door of the room I heard the sound from and knocked on the door repeatedly.It was opened by a young girl whom I was later to know as the personal maid of Alpha Moses's Grandmother.I saw the panic on her face when she opened the door, she was sweati

MOSES'S POVShe was about to walk out of the room looking like a scared puppy and with her head bowed when I held her hand and pulled her back.I could feel her body shiver out of fear as I held onto her. I was not in the mood to tease her so I let go of her hand immediately when I noticed that she was scared of me. She might probably be thinking that I would punish her for leaving her room.She managed to look up at my face, and then I looked into her eyes sometimes, then I whispered the words "thank you." Underneath my breath.She looked into my eyes for some time, the look of fear in her eyes was for a moment replaced with that of surprise.She looked surprised that I would even say such a word to her. She wasn't expecting much.I was surprised that I could say such a word to anyone, let alone a powerless, scared woman like her.But of course, my grandmother meant everything to me and I would thank anybody who helped me from losing her.She nodded her head again and slowly walked a

MATILDA'S POVI gently stood up from the bed and started walking away from the room out of fear of what he might do to me for disobeying him and leaving my room without his permission.I was about to walk out of the room when he held me by the hand and stopped me. I was scared when he held my hand, thinking that he probably wanted to punish me for disobeying him.I stopped in my tracks and looked into his face in fear.He looked into my eyes for some time, and then he let go of my hand, which surprised me.I was even more surprised when he whispered some words to me.At first, I was not sure what the words he had said were, but as I walked out of the room, the words registered in my head.Did he just thank me? I knew I had saved his grandmother, and deserved some accolades. But I was also surprised that a man like Alpha Moses would even say thank you to a girl like me.I had no idea how that made me feel, but apart from the surprise I felt at his words, there was still a feeling of h

MOSES'S POV“Oh!” She exclaimed. “I… Kind of had to stay with my grandmother in her house for some time.” I nodded my head. “Is that so?”“But that was years ago though, '' she said, smiling nervously. “After that, I came back to the palace.”“Well, that sounds impressive,” I said to her, smiling.She looked at me in surprise when she saw me smile, she was probably wondering if I really could smile.“So, are you a trained doctor?” I asked curiously. “Did you get any special training on how to heal the sick? Your father did not mention any of that to me.”“Oh!” She was quiet for some time, then she chuckled. “I did not get any special training I did not go to any school to learn how to heal the sick, I somehow managed to learn it on my own. I can't only save someone from a seizure, I know how to use herbs to cure several illnesses, a lot of them.” She said excitedly.“Mmm… I see.” I said. That sounded

MATILDA'S POVI smiled at my reflection in the mirror as I tried on different clothes from my wardrobe. I wanted to look as beautiful as I could today at the ball.The king had organized a ball in the palace today, and I was invited.I was surprised when I heard a knock on my door the previous evening while I was sitting on the bed. At first, I had thought it was Alpha Moses since he had been frequenting my room recently.I stood up and walked to the door, only to find one of the palace maids standing there.She informed me about the ball that always took place once a year and was personally organized by the king and that it would be taking place the next night and that the king had invited me.“Are you sure you are talking to the right person?” I asked with my brow raised because I did not expect to be invited to any function in the palace.She confirmed I was the one she was sent to invite to the party.I
