Chapter 72
ZENEVIEVA
I stilled at once to be sure that I wasn't hallucinating but he was right before me, eyes shut with his lips on mine. I pushed him away in disgust and wringed my nose as If I just had contact with a virus and a flash of surprise flickered on his face.
"If you miss Marcella that much, you should go to her and stop displaying your stupidity!"
I fired at him and pushed him away but he chose to keep quiet.
If I hadn't acted fast, my wolf would have definitely invited him which would make me puke later on just the way he's contorting his face into a frown.
"I need to sleep, excuse me!"
I ordered and just like that, he walked out like a controlled robot.
I sighed and sat on the white fluffy bed. It felt so nice and smelt wonderfully nice but a frown overwhelmed my face and flashes of Marcella and Tyson on this bed made me hissed in anger.
His sudden calmness will never fool me, I know he's got something under his sleeves and I'll definitely maneuver my way out somehow.
I laid on the bed and drifted off to sleep.
The knock on the door jolted me out of the bed as I rubbed my sleepy eyes to discover that's dawn.
Without permission, the chief maid entered and bowed.
"Save it, I don't want to listen to whatever trash you have to say!" I told her but she was still acting stubborn.
"The king said…"
"Get out!" I yelled and she flinched.
"Get yourself out of this room before I lose it!"
Setting my eyes on her was enough to spoil the day for me, I knew how badly she hated me and dished out hot orders and punishment on me, supporting her fellow maid that I had terrible burns on my skin.
I seethe in anger cause I will definitely slap someone this morning.
I got up to freshen up and realized that not a single dime of my properties are here. My tooth brush, towel and deodorant are definitely nowhere to be found.
Shit!
I couldn't go out looking like a mess to get those items.
I left the restroom to go to the bedroom because there's no way my finger tips would touch what belonged to Tyson and there he was sitting like the King of wickedness and biting his lips.
"If I'm staying in your room, can't you have the courtesy of bringing my items over?"
"Use what you see Zenevieva, I'm your husband after all." I scoffed and chuckled.
"Fake husband!!" I spelt it out for him.
"And whatever useless plan you've got under your sleeves would definitely not work out on me, pretend all you want but you and I know how much of a monster you are."
"It's only a monster that detects another monster."
"I need a brush, deodorants and a dress to change up.."
"I already sent the maids, they will be here anytime soon. So be quick about it and get ready for breakfast."
"With who?"
"The royal breakfast of course."
I released a slight snort and took a step backwards.
"I've never joined that shit before and I'm not trying to even start. I'll get my meal in the kitchen so don't even bother waiting for me."
"It's an order Zenevieva, not a request."
His voice was stern.
"What on mother nature's name is this, Tyson? The last time I went near the table you broke my left eye."
"And I'm trying to make up for that and be nice, so don't take it for granted."
"Shove your niceness down your throat! I'm not sharing a royal breakfast with you and Collette."
"Tyler will be there, I asked him to join us "
I kept quiet.
I prefer sitting next to Tyler than any of those two and the queen would be present too, so I think there will be no harm in trying.
"My properties or I'll just have to sit here all day from the rest of the day "
He snapped his fingers and the maids came in with a brand new set of clothes and other items which were sparkling new.
"What's this?" I sneered in disgust at the show he was displaying.
"Your properties." He replied lazily and anger bubbled at the edge of my throat, feeling irritated.
"No way! These are not from my room!"
"For goodness sake Veieva, learn to appreciate things when you see one. You prefer those rags in your room?"
"I prefer them than anything coming from you"
"Too bad you're wearing that, you're eating on the royal table and you need to look your best."
I scoffed and collected the items to the bathroom.
Whatever Tyson is up to, I'm definitely equal to the task ahead.
I ignored the maid service despite Tyson's disapproving looks but to hell with them all.
I slipped into the dress and I'm surprised at how beautiful it was on my body, accentuating my curves in the right direction.
Gosh! It's as if I'm going to a party instead of having a normal breakfast.
I now understand why Collette dresses like the Queen of the coast even If she's sitting by the corner of her room doing nothing.
Royalty is definitely not for me and doing all of those seems very strange to me.
I exhaled shakily and took a look at my reflection again at the mirror and stepped out.
"I'm done, let's go."
He strayed his eyes on my features and stood up.
"Pack your hair nicely."
"Look Tyson, this is already too extreme for me as a whole, can we just have this breakfast and let's get this done with? You're beginning to irritate me."
He shrugged without saying a word and he stepped out while I followed suit.
The dining was truly royal with different sorts of delicacies.
My mouth watered instantly and the delicious smell of chicken steaks gusts my nose and I gulped.
I rushed over to sit beside Tyler and I threw Collette a disgusting stare.
"Zenevieva, I'm so happy to see you here. Tyson said you always refused to join us for breakfast and it hurt a lot."
The Queen exclaimed and I turned to stare at Tyson but he was giving me a pleading look not to spew anything to her.
I smiled at the Queen and nodded.
"Please eat enough, you need it."
"Thanks." I whispered and dug into the meal without care in the world.
This might be my last meal on this table as I don't know Tyson's next plans if I will end up in the dungeon or the woods.
Tyler placed the bacon and enough begged to me and I smiled at him and ate to my satisfaction.
"What do you think Tyson is up to?" I whispered to him and he shrugged.
"I'm confused either, he's been terribly nice and I literally begged him to choose another role cause it's totally disgusting."
"Jeez! I thought I'm the only one seeing things "
"I wish it's real, Zenevieva, I want my friend back. Damn look at us, eating like one big family."
I couldn't help my manners and bursted out laughing at the sarcasm in his low tone and they all stared at me.
"Care to share?" Tyson inquired and I rolled my eyes.
"Pardon my manners, it's just a slight joke."
"You think everything is a joke to you? Disrespecting my mum and eating before you is a joke on the royal table? It's so obvious you belong to the slumps!"
Collette yelled and a terrible hard slap flew to her face and she gasped in shock.
"Mum!" She shrieked in disbelief and horror.
"What sort of insult is that? How dare you call her that."
"But she disrespected you?"
She yelled.
"She didn't say a word and was being real by expressing how she felt at some joke, why would you say that?"
"I can't believe this, even you Tyson, Won't you say something?"
He swallowed, "Yeah Collette, she did nothing wrong."
Liar!!
The struggle on his face is so evident that he wishes to side with his sister.
"This is bullshit!"
"Look here young lady! It's time to meet your mate by the next full moon and become a woman. Maybe you will learn how to imbibe some manners when you're with your mate."
Her mum said but she kicked the table and walked out on us.
"As for you Tyson, I'm glad you're taking a step in securing that throne.
The Moon goddess will be here after the full moon to have a tour and to give a very important announcement, you know I will sing like a bird to her and she will definitely know when the pack is in disorder.
Don't forget that Tyler is beside you, it's either you treat them well and your pack accordingly or you lose the throne to your Beta."
She said and fear washed through his face, swallowing hard.
Tyler smirked as if he knew the reason for his friend's sudden niceness which was annoying as hell.
Damn!
I knew Tyson too well to be deceived by those silly kind acts he portrayed.
He's doing all this for the moon goddess, once she leaves; He's back to the Tiger I'm acquainted with.
