Chapter 31 Broken-hearted
Alpha Gideon noticed that his wife was hesitating to kiss him on the lips. He raises a brow, wondering why she hesitated to show her affection for him. “Don’t be shy, my love,” he coaxed her. “Come on, let’s kiss so I can sleep peacefully tonight. I slept better after we shared a good night's kiss,” he said with a wink.
Mira cleared her throat and said, “Is it okay to kiss now? You are wounded. I might have hurt you accidentally.”
Alpha Gideon smiled. “It’s fine. We are not going to have sex in this bed, we are just going to kiss on the lips,” he muttered gently.
Mira giggled. “OK, fine. Let’s kiss then,” she said, her eyes gleaming with mischief.
“Come closer to me, I can’t reach you. Initiate a kiss for both of us,” he ordered huskily.
“OK,” Mira replied. Her eyes sparkled as her heart beat rapidly in her rib cage.
She lowers her mouth, planting a kiss on his lips. She could feel the heat of his breath fanning her cheeks. “Was that enough?” she asked after she finished kissing him.
Alpha Gideon replied, “I’m disappointed. It’s not the kind of kiss that I want. I don’t want a light kiss. I want a hot kiss. Let’s do it right the second time around, okay?”
“Huh? You are not satisfied with the kiss I gave you?” Mira asked, frowning. What kind of kiss does he want?
Alpha Gideon sighed softly. “I want to have a torrid kiss with you. The intense kind, hot and scorching lips to lips kiss, the kind that would last for a few minutes, setting our bodies on fire.”
Mira finally understood what he meant. “Ah, I see…but we can’t do that right now because we might get carried away and there are people outside, they might see us. Besides, you are still injured. How about we do it tomorrow? Right now you need to rest first. OK?”
Alpha Gideon nodded his head. "Alright, goodnight my love. See you tomorrow,” he says softly.
Mira was glad he didn’t force her to do the kiss he wanted. “Goodnight, my love. Sleep well and see you tomorrow.”
“Give me a goodnight kiss before you leave the room,” he said.
“OK.” Mira planted a kiss on his lips and said, “Bye, night night.”
“Night night, my love. Night night baby,” Alpha Gideon murmured, looking lovingly at her baby bump.
Mira walked to the door and opened it. She stepped outside the door and saw Luna Rosie sitting on the sofa nearby, waiting for her impatiently.
The pack doctor entered the room to attend to his patient.
Mira approached Luna Rosie and said, “Let’s go upstairs and sleep.”
The two women climbed the stairs and proceeded to their room.
After reaching the bedroom, Luna faced Mira angrily. “What did you do in the room? Why did it take so long to get out? What did you and my husband talk about?”
Mira sat on the edge of the bed, looking calm. “Nothing. We just talked about my pregnancy. He asked me what I was doing with my idle time while he was out there on the battlefield fighting bad rogues. Then he asked me to massage his arms because his injury was giving him nonstop pain. That’s all,” she lied. She can’t tell Luna Rosie the truth about the kiss because she would surely erupt in anger and hurt her again by pulling her hair. She doesn't want epic drama happening tonight.
All she wants is to sleep peacefully tonight because she feels happy that Alpha Gideon finally arrived home safe and sound. She walked to the bathroom to brush her teeth and do some washing. “I’m getting ready for sleep in a few minutes.”
Luna Rosie watched as Mira entered the bathroom. Earlier, she desperately wanted to enter the room and talk to her husband but she was not allowed entry by the pack doctor. She was furious at the unfairness of it all. She couldn't do anything because she was just a mere servant in their eyes.
So damn annoying!
She shouldn’t lose hope. It’s not the end of the world yet. The possibilities are endless.
Tomorrow, maybe she can finally enter the recuperating room and see her husband again.
Aha, a brilliant idea suddenly popped up in her mind. She will bring him breakfast tomorrow. That’s right!
The thought of seeing her husband the next day energized her.
She waited for Mira to finish so she could finally do her nightly routine in the bathroom.
A few minutes later, Mira finally emerged from the bathroom door and donned her pajamas. Luna Rosie entered the bathroom.
Half an hour later, the women can be seen lying on the bed ready to sleep.
Luna Rosie looked at Mira. "Tomorrow, we will bring breakfast for my husband to his room.”
“Nice idea!” Mira gave her a thumbs up.
“Once we are inside the room, I will be the one who will feed him his food. Just tell him that your hands ache because of your pregnancy so you can’t feed him. He has no choice but to allow me to feed him.” Luna Rosie elaborated on what she wanted to happen tomorrow when they visited her injured husband.
Mira raised a brow. “What if he insists that I will be the one to feed him?”
Luna Rosie scowled at her. “Are you dumb? Just pretend that your hands are hurting. Try your best so he will believe your act. That’s all you need to do!”
Sigh. Such a lame excuse. Mira rolled her eyes. “Fine. I’ll do whatever you say if it makes you happy.”
“You better do as I say, or I will get mad at you and punish you!” Luna Rosie threatened her viciously.
“Alright, let’s sleep now.” Mira draped the blanket over her body and closed her eyes to sleep.
Luna Rosie did the same and closed her eyes to sleep.
Outside, the brown snake was climbing the mansion wall, heading to the open window in the women's bedroom.
Suddenly a cold gust of wind entered the room.
Luna Rosie opened her eyes and glanced at the window. Dang, she forgot to close it. She left the bed, closed the window and returned to the bed to resume her sleep.
Outside the window, the brown snake noticed the closed window. It slithered down and landed on the ground softly, hiding behind the plants. Waiting for another chance…
Time has passed by.
The night went deeper.
All the inhabitants of the mansion slept soundly in their bedrooms.
…
The following day, Luna Rosie woke up early at 6:00 in the morning. She already knows what to do. She will go to the kitchen and inform the cook to prepare her husband's favorite breakfast.
Half an hour later, Mira woke up and saw Luna Rosie already wearing a veil on her face. She sat upright on the bed and said, “You are up. Where are you going?”
“I’m going to the kitchen to tell the cook to prepare my husband's favorite breakfast so I can bring it to his room," Luna Rosie responded excitedly.
“What is his favorite breakfast?” Mira asked sleepily while rubbing her eyes.
“Ham, scrambled egg and waffle,” Luna Rosie replied.
“OK, fine. Do whatever makes you happy,” Mira said and resumed her sleep.
‘Lazy pig!’ Luna Rosie snorted, glaring at Mira before leaving the room.
Mira heard the door close and was trying to get back to sleep but her mind was already wide awake. She knew very well why Luna Rosie insisted on being the one who would bring Alpha Gideon’s breakfast to his room. The poor woman wanted to see her husband and be with him.
But she doubted whether Alpha Gideon would allow a mere servant to feed him. She was sure he would ask for her presence in the room. Honestly, she doesn’t want to get in the way of Luna Rosie’s plan to take care of her husband.
Half an hour later, Mira finally left the bed, getting ready to start her day. She made her way downstairs to eat breakfast in the dining room because her fake maid had already forgotten about her.
When she reached the living room, she saw Luna Rosie holding the tray, approaching her husband’s room.
“Please open the door. I’m bringing in Alpha Gideon’s breakfast,” Luna Rosie said politely.
The pack doctor shook his head and said, “Alpha Gideon only wants his wife in the room to serve him breakfast.”
Mira smirked. She could feel anger flashing in Luna Rosie’s eyes.
Should she help her? Or let her figure out how to enter the room on her own.
Luna Rosie detected her presence nearby. She looked in her direction and said, “Luna Rosie is here!”
Mira walked towards her and asked, “What’s wrong?”
Luna Rosie replied, “They wouldn’t allow me inside the room to serve Alpha Gideon’s breakfast.”
The pack doctor smiled sheepishly. “Now that Luna Rosie is here, you are allowed to enter the room. After you put the tray on the table you need to leave the room and wait outside until Alpha Gideon has finished eating his breakfast.”
Luna Rosie glared at the pack doctor, she was dying to give him a verbal lashing, thankfully she has her full face veil on, no one can see the rage boiling in her eyes.
Mira suddenly felt nervous. She had no idea what was going to happen inside the room once the couple reunited. Will Luna Rosie reveal the soul swap to her husband?
One thing is for sure. She can’t read what the bitch is thinking in her mind right now. She might as well brace herself for the inevitable. She took a deep breath and entered the room followed by Luna Rosie.
Inside the room, Luna Rosie placed the tray on the table and looked at her husband who was already wide awake at that time.
Mira didn’t greet Alpha Gideon good morning. She kept her mouth shut, silently observing the couple and how they would interact with each other. She gave Luna Rosie a free hand to handle their delicate situation, careful not to interrupt.
“My love, come here.” Alpha Gideon summoned his wife to his side.
Luna Rosie excitedly rushed to her husband’s side, ready to serve him.
“I’m asking for my wife, not you!” he said sharply. “Leave the room now. I want to talk to my wife alone,” he added in a cold tone.
Luna Rosie was deeply hurt by her husband’s cold treatment of her. Tears filled her eyes. She walked away from the bed and left the room broken-hearted.
