CHAPTER 28

CHAPTER 28
VALERIA POV

When I woke up, my head was actually resting on something rock hard, not a typical pillowcase. I shifted closer and then my hand brushed something hard. I paused, breathing in the familiar scent and swallowed hard. I fluttered my eyes open and I was met with the shock of my life.

\# My head was resting on Lycan king Xyrus's chest while his other hand rested on my waist. Something twitched in my hand and my gaze travelled down to see that my hand was tightly wrapped around Lycan King Xyrus di…

“The fuck!” I screamed in my head, my eyes wide open in shock.

He was clearly not wearing anything and the only thing covering his waist down was the sheet. The sun cast its soft golden glow inside the room and his white skin seemed to absorb the light more.

I removed my hand instantly and quickly moved his hand away from my waist. I got down and tiptoed towards where my dress is. I picked up my dress,  my heels with my purse before leaving the room.

Getting outside the room, I made my way quickly towards my room and tried to open the door but it was already late. Adelina came in time to meet me at the entrance of my room.

“Are you in a hurry Lady Valeria?” She asked and I gritted my teeth with embarrassment.

The news must have already circulated that the Lycan king and his soon-to-be Queen slept in the same room last night.

And the funniest part is, after inhaling the scent, I remembered everything until we got inside the restroom. I remember sitting inside the bathtub but I didn't remember anything more which is not annoying.

“I'm fine,” I said and turned to face. Her eyes narrowed when she saw my outfit. She must have seen that I am actually wearing the king's clothes. 

“You look perfectly fine for someone who actually spent the night with the king.” She said as she walked towards me.

The girl actually has some nerves and she will definitely be an obstacle to me as long as I am living in the castle. I just have that feeling that this is how it's going to be.

“I don't think you are in the right position to care about me,” I said and straightened my back.

She already assumed I did nothing with the king. But not everyone has to crawl just because she has sex. But I wasn't planning to tell her this.

“Have you even taken your bath? You look like someone who just woke up after a tiring work overnight.

“Ah”, she scoffed, blood drained from her face and I kind of love that expression. 

That somehow made me realise she will eventually have a tough time here. Not like I am against their relationship but she doesn't have to pick on me. That is one thing I will not tolerate and even if I had to lie to hurt her ego, I would gladly do that.

She opened her purse and brought out the mirror. Wow, she even carries that around?

“I look perfectly fine. I don't know what…” she began.

I shut the door in her face before she could say anything more. I throw myself on the bed with my legs and hands spread out. I looked at the ceiling and memories from last night rushed in. I fucking lick his chest like a dog.

“Someone should just kill me already,” I said out loud and pinched my cheek. 

My phone rang beside me and I quickly picked it up. It was a call from Eleanor. I picked it up and her voice boomed through the speaker. 

“We are waiting at your door. Please open the door.” She said and ended the call.

My eyes lit up as I made my way to the door and pulled it open. Eleanor and Beatrice stood frozen at the door and I wondered what was wrong.

“What is wrong with you both?” I asked and they came in, pulling me with them and I quickly shut the door.

“What happened to you two?” I asked them and Beatrice looked at me with her mouth open.

“Don't tell me it's what I am thinking?” She said and I looked at Eleanor who also had the same expression on her face.

These two crazy friends of mine are actually scaring me.

“Cmon.” Eleanor breathed and smelled the shirt I was putting on.

“This is not your scent Val. Tell me without telling me that this shirt belongs to the Lycan king.” She said and realisation dawned on me.

“Oh fuck!” I almost cursed out loud. How could I forget to change?

They dragged me to the bed and sat me down while they stood in front of me with their arms folded.

“Guys. I actually have nothing to say. It's not what you are thinkin…” Eleanor placed her hand on my lips and sealed them.

“I want nothing but the truth. We already heard the news. Did you guys do it? I want nothing but the truth.” Beatrice said with a serious face.

“No we didn't,” I confessed and the two shared a look.

“Okay. We believe that” Eleanor said and sat down on my left side while Beatrice took the right side.

“So what really happened..” Eleanor asked.

“I told you nothing happened. I took my bath and changed my dress to his shirt because he doesn't have a bathrobe.” I told them and they paused, looking at me.

“Are you being for real? What kind of man doesn't have a bathrobe?” Eleanor asked.

“Well, the king doesn't even wear clothes to sleep” I thought to myself.

“I am serious.  I had to wear his shirt because of that” I responded.

“You mean he resists this body of yours? You guys didn't even kiss?” Eleanor asked not believing me and I nodded 

I can't tell them there is actually someone else the Lycan king did all this with and it's not me.

“It's normal since we are not married yet,” I told them and they nodded thoughtfully.

“Then he is actually a gentleman,” Beatrice said and Eleanor chirped in.

“I actually kissed a guy yesterday but I can't possibly remember his face. This is the first time this will ever happen to me.” She said and I smiled at Beatrice but then I remembered what Beatrice said over the call.

“I heard you almost got raped. How could you let that happen?” I asked Eleanor, shifting the conversation to her.

“I lied to Beatrice that I was going to the restroom. Let me just tell you what really happened.”
