Chapter 9: FIRST KISS

MONICA'S POV

"You won't be meeting the elders today, You know, right?" Alpha Zac asked me the moment I stopped dancing and I creased my brows.

"What do you mean?" I asked, not getting what he was saying but whatever it was, I knew it was something I wanted to hear and I was happy even without knowing it yet.

Alpha Zac smiled and continued walking while I followed after him. "The elders are busy and can't be called within a day. A letter needs to be sent to them and a date for the meeting will be chosen. We just sent a letter today but they will probably reply tomorrow and a reply from us will be sent next tomorrow, indicating the meeting time and venue. Do you understand now?" Alpha Zac explained to me calmly as we continued walking.

I was quiet for a while, trying to reprocess everything in my brain as they seemed too much to believe. It was like everything was falling in place for me and for the first time in years, it was like fate was at my side. I looked at Alpha Zac's back as he was walking in front of me and a smile bloomed on my face. I covered my face and screeched inwardly. "This is just too crazy! I guess this life isn't so bad after all!" I said for the third time in a day.

Alpha Zac and Me continued our conversation, he showed me some places in the mansion and told me some funny old stories which kept making me laugh. "This is bad." I heard Edna's voice and I frowned. "What is?" I asked her with confusion in my voice. "You're a Luna. You can't fall for another man, Monica." Edna scolded me and I coughed. My face flushed red and my blood boiled. "You perverted wolf! Have you lost your mind?!" I screamed in my head but only chuckling sounds replied to me and I rolled my eyes.

I looked at Alpha Zac who was smiling excitedly while pointing to a flower and I sighed. "I need to stop here today. I can't afford to take any risk and complicate things." I told myself before walking closer to Alpha Zac.

I cleared my throat to attract his attention and it worked. "Alpha Zac," I called politely. "We've walked a lot today. Can you show me the rest of the mansion another day?" I asked him and he pouted. His handsome face looked so royal and charming.

"You're tired?" He asked me and I nodded. "Okay then. Let me lead you to your room. We can always introduce you to the mansion another time." He added and I smiled.

I knew he was only doing his job of taking his Pack Luna to see the mansion but I felt warm at heart seeing the way he was treating me in contrast treatment to Alpha Brimstone's treatment and I couldn't help but smile foolishly at him. "Okay... Let's do that then." I wasn't going to refuse any opportunity of being with him. He was the only one I felt comfortable around within the mansion.

Alpha Zac led me back to the room and we stopped. "This is your room. See you again another time, My Lady." He greeted and bowed his head.

I covered my mouth and laughed gently. I could never get used to his playful side. "Okay, My Lord. See you another time." I replied before opening the door and I entered. I rested my back on the door, closed my eyes and a smile appeared on my face. "I'm liking this," I mumbled.

"Ma... My Lady..." I heard a soft voice and I opened my eyes only to see three maids standing at the center of the room with their heads bowed.

"What's going on here? Who are they bowing for?" I asked myself inwardly. The last time I checked, they didn't respect me enough to bow for me, so what were they doing now? I shook my head and cleared my throat, trying to dispose of my playful side. "What are you doing here?" I asked them coldly.

"We are here to prepare you for bed and serve you dinner, My Lady." One of them replied to me and pointed to the table where I saw numerous dishes, covered and decorated as if it was for the royals.

The mention of food caused my stomach to growl and only then did I remember I hadn't eaten anything throughout the day. I nodded my head and moved closer to the bed. "I'm not going to show my surprise in front of these people," I said inwardly the moment I opened one of the dishes and the aroma hypnotized my heart.

I settled on the couch and started eating. It was like my stomach had gotten 500 times bigger as I continued eating, eating, and eating till half of the plates were already empty. "Ahh!" I groaned as I rested my head back and patted my bulging stomach. "I'm filled! I'm so filled!" I grumbled to myself as I closed my eyes...

"Are you done, My lady?" One of the maids asked and I nodded my head.

"Completely satisfied," I replied, still with my eyes closed.

Before I opened my eyes, the table was already cleared of food and was as clean as new which made me commend the maids inwardly before standing up. "I want to take a bath now," I said to the maids who immediately raised their heads and nodded.

They led me to the bathroom, bathed me, and dressed me up in my nightie which was a little bit revealing but I did not say anything. Being with them for the few hours which they used in serving me and preparing me for bed, I realized they weren't respecting me but were just scared of what might happen to them if they crossed me. It seemed like what Alpha Zac did to the maid earlier terrified them.

"Well... I don't give a damn about what they think about me. It's their problem and I don't hope to get involved." I said inwardly and giggled to myself. Somehow, seeing them act this way was amusing.

"I want to sleep now. You can leave." I said to them as I walked over to the bed. I wanted to sleep on time before Alpha Brimstone would come in and see me in those revealing nighties.

"Okay, My Lady." They replied, bowed, and left the room without any protest whatsoever like they would have done if it was a few hours earlier.

I held my chest as I fell back into the bed and closed my eyes. "Mum, Dad, I'm living a better life now, You don't have to worry about me anymore." I mumbled and revealed a bright smile.

I was about to sleep when the door opened and I opened my eyes to see Alpha Brimstone entering the room. Without saying a word, I covered my body with the duvet and closed my eyes, as if I was already sleeping.

He didn't say a word to me as he moved closer to the bed. "You can leave. I will take care of myself tonight." He said to someone whom I assumed to be the attendant that was supposed to take care of him tonight.

The door closed seconds later and he entered the bathroom. "I should sleep before he returns," I said to myself as I tried forcing myself to bed but it was difficult... My body was slightly shivering, making it impossible for me to sleep. "What's wrong with me? Why is my body acting this way?" I asked myself but there was no reply even from my wolf and I sighed.

Minutes later... Alpha Brimstone returned from the bathroom and I opened my eyes to peek at what he was putting on, only for my cheeks to turn red the moment I realized he was putting on only his robes, which refused to cover his chest and was showing off his perfectly sculptured chest.

"If you're done gawking, come clean my hair for me." I heard his deep, sinfully sexy voice in my ears and my body shook violently.

"What? Did he know I'm not sleeping? How did he know?" I asked myself but most of all, I was embarrassed for getting caught while staring at his naked chest!

I covered my face with the duvet, hoping I would be able to hide my embarrassment but it was futile. "Can I disappear right now? Should I just disappear?" I cried inwardly while still covering my face. "It's not like you can do that," Edna replied and my anger surged. "Who owns this wolf? This can't be mine."

I had no idea how he got to my side but he grabbed my hand and pulled me up from the bed. "Come start your duty as the Luna." He whispered as he dragged me to the huge mirror in the room and he sat down.

I looked at his reflection in the mirror and my heart started racing. "What's this?" I grumbled and I was confused. I wanted to run away from him but I realized he was still holding my hand. "I... I want to sleep. This isn't my duty." I struggled to say.

"It became your duty the moment I sent out my attendant." He replied simply and handed me the hair dryer which I collected from him with a frown on my face. "He keeps misusing his authority." I lamented inwardly and frowned.

I started drying the hair and it took me about an hour to be done with it but I was satisfied with my work as his hair was completely dried although messy and it made him look hotter~ a total killer ~"I'm done." I announced and dropped the dryer before turning my back to leave but he grabbed my hand and pulled me back.

"Argh!" I groaned as I landed on his lap and my eyes opened wide! I tried to stand up but he held me down and grabbed my chin.

"You should be rewarded, don't you think?" He asked coyly and my heart started racing again.

"Re... rewarded?" I stuttered, my face flushing red and my knees turning weak. "Run, Monica." I heard Edna say but I shook my head, shutting her down.

He nodded his head and grabbed my waist, pulling me closer to himself and without warning, he pressed his lips on mine ~

Giving me my very first kiss which electrocuted my cells and sent me flying to the cloud!
