CHAPTER 41
ZENEVIEVA.
I was just coming back from the king's chambers when Tyson sent for me.
I'm glad that his health is gradually taking a change and he couldn't be more grateful for that.
I walked back to the room and Marcella was already there, seated shotgun on the bed with her crossed legs.
"You sent for me." I faced Tyler.
"Mm…prepare something for us to eat."
"The maids already did that, I'll just get it for you."
"No! I'm not eating that! Do something different and it has to be very nice or it won't be funny."
I blew out a breath and sighed, taking a step to go out.
"Wait! Scrub the tiles again. Marcella just stepped in." He added and I glared at him.
"What?"
"You're not deaf! Get lost and do what I just said!" He growled.
I bowed and left to get water and brush to scrub the floor again.
My hands ache terribly and my back hurts but I bit my lips and scrubbed.
I washed the floor for the next hour and flew to the kitchen to prepare his meal.
I met the chief maid to get me some ingredients and she quickly disappeared to bring it while I placed the pot on the water and got ready to do something.
I was so oblivious to everything, fully concentrated on what to prepare that I didn't notice the maid standing at my back until I heard murmurings.
I turned sharply to face the chief maid but she wasn't holding anything but water.
"I asked for Ingredients, the King actually needs to eat it, not me!"I yelled.
"And you couldn't tell him that his meal was already served huh?"
"He said he needed something special and I need to prepare that for him!",
"Liar!" She spat at me and came closer.
"You're trying to seduce him, the same way you seduced the King to lie with you right?"
I gasped in shock.
"I'm not having this conversation with you, just get me the ingredients and get lost."
"You are so despicable and irritating, Get out of the kitchen!" She yelled and threw the water on me which made me scream my lungs out in pain and scratch all my body.
It was sizzling hot water and I never saw that coming.
"Ah! Serves her right, she should just go already but she's stuck in here.",
one of the maids and the others continued to murmur.
"She's a slut for sleeping with the King."
"Yes! She's just being useless!"
They continued ranting on and my skin was on fire and I fled from the place and cried rushing to get an ointment before my skin peeled off.
I ran not looking forward until I bumped into someone which made me hit my butt on the floor hard and I broke down crying.
All the emotions I've been bottling up came rushing out at once and I forced myself to get up and leave and my skin wanted to rip off.
"My Queen?"
I slowly looked up to meet Tyler's face and I sprang up at once to leave but he held my rips.
"Let me go please," I whispered.
"You don't look okay."
"I'm fine" I released his grasp but he held me firmer, his hands holding my arm forcefully and I gave out a scream.
"Are you okay?"
"I need to go please, my skin hurts."
I pleaded and his eyes went wide with shock which made him carry me in a bridal style and rush inside.
He gasped in shock when he noticed how soft my skin was, especially the place he held my skin. It was already peeling and the burns on it were so visible.
"Shit! Your skin, did hot water get poured on you?" He asked frantically ruffling his hair and searching around my room strangely to look for anything.
"Check the drawer, it's going to be there," I told him and he went fast to fetch the ointment and came back, looking utterly displeased as he applied it on my arms and skin.
"You shouldn't have made that suggestion to Tyson, Alpha Kyle can take care of himself."
"He's an Alpha?"
He nodded. "He's just managing the Green Pack for training and recruitment for trainees. We call him Alpha because his parents are going to crown him as that but he doesn't want that."
"Why?" I asked curiously.
"Because he feels those are not his real parents and that's not his pack. His parents died when he was little and his foster parents took him and he also drafted a plan for himself to train others so he was so good in physical strength and with his wolf. He just wanted to be a commander and not an Alpha."
"That's strange." I commented, pondering on his words.
"Yeah, that's why you couldn't have worried about him. Even though he was going to destroy his pack, Kyle was definitely going to take care of himself."
"No! It would take a while to rebuild it and stress doesn't fit him at all, I can't let that happen because of me. He will get back at Tyson anyway."
"Still…"
"I already did it Tyler."
I bit my lips and he sighed.
"Turn your back."
I did obediently and I gasped when he undid the zip of my clothes.
"Can you learn to ask for permission?"
"I'll ask when you're okay and your skin isn't going to rip off."
I blew out a breath and let him roam his hands and rubbed the oil softly.
"You like Kyle don't you?" He asked husky and I let my head nod.
"He's the only one to ever treat me nicely on the first day we met, it's impossible not to like someone like him."
"I see now, don't just hurt yourself by liking someone who would cause you more pain."
"What do you mean?"
"I think I'm done, you need to rest for a moment so the ointment will work on your skin."
I nodded and he slowly zipped up my dress when the door barged open.
An angry-looking Tyson stood at the entrance and Tyler sighed.
"How dare you Vieva, you flaunt my orders again?"
"She was hurt! Her skin would have-"
"I wasn't asking you Tyler!" He fired at him and walked closer to me yanking my hair hard.
"Seducing my dad wasn't enough right? Now it's Tyler you're luring with your baseless excuses. How shameless are you?" He growled, his eyes blazing with red hot anger.
"What are you talking about?"
"Why did you now act so sober when you were stripped naked? Isn't this worse than being naked outside, exposing your slutty self at every nook and cranny you meet?"
"That's ridiculous! Why would you say such to her, I volunteered to help her despite when she pushed me off."
"Shut up Tyler and get out! I've warned you not to Interfere countlessly!"
"This is beyond what I'm expecting from you! Why would you keep reacting this way?"
He ignored him and faced me.
"Where's my meal?"
"I'm sorry, I couldn't get it immediately. The chief maid poured some hot water on me."
A heavy slap landed on my face and I shivered in pain.
"What a stupid excuse?" He roared and I grit my teeth, enduring all of this because I brought upon myself.
"I'm serious! She wouldn't even give me the ingredients I required from her."
"If you don't get the meal for Marcella and me for the next twenty minutes, I'll flog you naked outside again and I'll make sure you definitely prepare that food even after being flogged." He walked out and I scrambled up to my feet immediately.
I could manage the burns on my skin but I couldn't bear to go through another hell just because of a meal.
"My Queen, you-"
"It's Zenevieva!!" I screamed at him and fled out.
I rushed to the kitchen in a jiffy and the pot I wanted to use was already on fire and one of the maids was already preparing soup with it.
"I need that pot immediately, get another one please."
She scoffed while I rushed to get the ingredients in the store.
"You can't go In there except the chief maid."
One of them blocked the way but I pushed her busy body self to the ground and she landed her head on the sink while I went inside to get the required ingredients to prepare the meal for him.
I made sure I washed everything and grind everything that needed to be grinded before going over to get the pot but the maid was still stirring the soup slowly on the fire.
"I said I needed that pot."
"I can't remember the last time you got a thing here in this kitchen for a slut that you are, get lost and don't confuse me."
I got hold of a towel and went towards the pot to take it out from the fire. I made sure I poured all the contents of the soup away to the ground and rinsed the post to use.
She was extremely shocked and pissed but that was the least of my worries right now.
"I won't be nice next time you call me a slut, I'll bathe the whole soup on your body."
I pushed her out of the way and made rounds like a horrified cock who was being drenched in cold sweat and I quickly prepared the food and set it nicely on the tray to take it to him.
I was done and I reached his doorstep but that same moment Collette chose such a perfect time to also enter his room by pushing me off the entrance and everything went flying down to the ground, breaking the tray and the plates together.
