Chapter 16

Mitchell's POV:

I was forcefully dragged out of the alpha's chamber without even having a chance to introduce myself. "I must go back and introduce myself to him," I thought to myself as I returned to his chamber. I turned back to his chamber and headed directly to his gate. I met some guards at his gate and called one of them.

"Hey, please, I need to talk to the alpha," I said to the guard.

"Who are you? Please identify yourself," the guard responded.

I immediately brought out my tag and showed it to the guard. He checked the tag and easily identified that I was from a royal family.

"Let her in," the guard ordered, and I entered freely back into the castle.

I looked around the castle and wondered where he might be. "Could he be at his training center? No, I doubt it, knowing that he wouldn't go back to the training center again."

I kept moving around the castle, entering different rooms. The rooms looked so beautiful, and I became more admiring of such a beautiful place.

"Stop there, where are you going?" I heard a voice from behind.

I turned immediately to check who was talking, and I was surprised to see that it was the man I had seen earlier practicing with the alpha.

"Hey, can you take me to the alpha?" I asked.

The man moved closer to me and shouted, "You again? I think I sent you out. How did you manage to enter again?" he said angrily.

I felt a bit angry at how he was shouting at me, but I lowered my temper. I brought out my tag immediately and showed it to him.

"Here, show this to your alpha," I responded and gave him the tag.

The man collected the tag from me and checked it. He became powerless immediately when he identified that I was from a royal family.

"Hey, my princess, I'm sorry not to have recognized you. I'll be right back soon," said the man as he checked out my tag.

"Before you leave, can you please tell me your name?" I asked politely.

"You can call me Smith, my princess," the man responded.

"Okay, Smith, I'll be waiting right here for you," I said to him and watched him enter a room. I secretly followed him immediately after he entered, and I kept following him until he entered the alpha's chamber.

The room looked so beautiful and brought me into remembrance of my father, a hero, legend, and the best father. I remembered how he used to handle this house during his time, though there are now new changes in both the interior and exterior design.

I remembered how he used to pamper me and his touch over my body. He was such a loving and caring father. The castle has really turned into something new, both inside and out. No one would know that someone had once used the castle for centuries.

I quickly turned back after confirming that he had entered the alpha's chamber and went back to my previous position, waiting for his feedback. A few minutes later, Smith returned, coming towards me.

"Please go back to where you're coming from; the alpha will not like to meet anybody at this moment," said Smith.

I became so frustrated and wondered why the alpha would decide not to see me, even without considering my status.

"Could it be how I treated him the other time?" I questioned myself, then replied, "No, that shouldn't cause a big deal," I thought to myself.

I kept thinking about why the alpha would have decided not to see me and promised myself not to leave until I found out why. I became so worried about how I'd go through the whole room and get to his chamber without being caught or suspected. I kept thinking and moving around the rooms.

As I was moving closer to the alpha's room, I saw a maid coming towards me with a tray in her hand. I stayed hidden and suddenly appeared in front of her. The maid became so shocked and scared that she dropped the tray in her hand.

"What's this? Why did you have to pour wine on me?" I said angrily to the maid as she poured the wine tray at me. The maid became so shocked and didn't know what to say.

"I'm so sorry, miss. I didn't know you would be coming," the maid responded emotionally.

"No, that's absurd. I really have an appointment with the alpha. Do you expect me to appear in front of him like this?" I responded angrily.

"I'm deeply sorry, miss," said the maid.

The maid went down on her knees and bowed her head thoughtfully, out of ideas of what to do. She couldn't say anything other than sorry, and I found it useless as that was going off my plan.

"Can you just take me to your room and get my clothes changed instead of standing there and saying sorry?" I responded grumpily.

The maid stopped talking for a while, then said, "I'm so sorry, but I need to attend to my master first," the maid explained.

I became more irritated, and she could see how angry I was. She stopped arguing immediately and asked me to follow her. I followed the maid slowly to her room, and she changed my dress with one of hers, just as I planned.

"I'm sorry, miss. Can you please wear this cloth for a while and let me wash your clothes for you?" asked the maid.

"Sure, that's the best option," I responded.

I moved closer to the door immediately and undressed. After undressing, I gave her my clothes, and she exchanged them with the best of her clothes. The clothes looked stinky and rough, but I had to accept them to carry out my mission.

The maid turned back immediately after collecting my clothes, placed them beside her, and moved to the storage room to get a new glass cup and wine. She poured the wine into a glass cup.

"Please, I'll be right back," said the maid.

"No, please wait. Let me help you carry the wine so that you can go and wash the clothes," I responded.

The maid looked worried and gave my offer a second thought.

"Don't worry too much; I'm just trying to help," I said to the maid.

"Thanks for your generosity," the maid responded and handed the tray of wine to me. I felt excited to see my plan working and held it directly to the alpha's chamber. The alpha's chamber looked more beautiful than the other rooms. There were more flowers and ancient pictures. I felt the place was more attractive, and I wished that I was alone with the alpha in the beautiful room.

I got to his door and became a little scared and worried. I let out my worries at a point, letting the gods decide my fate. I knocked on his door gently and forcefully opened it without waiting for his feedback.

I was shocked as I entered, and I couldn't hold my feelings as I saw the alpha. I became so emotional that I dropped the tray in my hand and couldn't stand seeing his face. I ran immediately.

"Who are you?" the alpha asked, confused.
