CHAPTER 60
ZENEVIEVA
I sprawled lazily on the bed and yawned loudly as I sat up to rub my sleepy eyes.
How I ended up here on the bed, I really don't know cause the last thing I remembered was crying on Tyler's shoulders.
The sun licked the windows of my room, splashing its rays everywhere to give it a beautiful scenery as I dragged my weak legs up to freshen up just in case the Queen or the King called me, I'm not ready to look messed up.
I slipped into my shorts and wore my woolen long sleeve top, I'm so tired of wearing long heavy gowns all in the name of being the Queen.
I just needed something light today and today's goal was avoiding Tyson, Marcella and Collette at all costs.
But not all goals are meant to be achieved, the knock on the door distracted me and my heart literally flew away in fear and anticipation of what awaits me and I prayed for it not to be any of those royal assholes.
I dragged my feet lazily to the door and twisted the door knob to be alarmed at the beauty that's standing before me.
He smirked at me and gave me a cocky stare as he strides in majestically.
"What are you doing here?" My voice failed me as it came out as whispers.
"My night was great, how about yours?" I rolled my eyes at him and sighed.
"Why are you here?"
"Have you had any breakfast yet? Come,let's go." He drags my hand totally ignoring me and I withdraw from his grip.
"Let go of me Kyle "
"What? I'm not ready to hear thunder rumbles from that stomach of yours, Ethan told me all the gist and told me to make sure you eat since Tyson's sole responsibility is to make you cry."
"What? Ethan told you that." I gasped in and facepalmed myself in embarrassment when he nodded.
"I did that on purpose."
"Jeez! You're a good liar, let's go have breakfast , I'm not taking a no or a no "
He said firmly and dragged me out, eyeing my wear with a disapproving stare and I glared at him.
His Auburn hair danced carelessly on his face and he gave it a wave to fall backwards which made me smiled.
His sharp green eyes turned to mine and I quickly looked away
"Like what you see?" He asked cockily and I hissed.
"Don't wear this outside again." He said, eyeing my shorts and I scoffed.
"Why? I'm sick of the gowns.."
"I know but this is too short, were it indoors but not out like this, it's…it's disturbing"
How?
I bent down to check what's disturbing. I saw nothing except for my dry skin, the shorts stopped midway below my thighs and I shook my head.
Kyle is just being dramatic. I wonder how he's able to act as if nothing happened yesterday, looking so cheerful and carefree after such a heated argument with Kyle and the fact that he kissed Marcella.
Those images stung like hell to me but I pushed it away.
I decided to let it go, to let him go and save ourselves from all the drama that's going to unfold later on.
He wasn't going to have breakfast with everyone and I heaved a sigh of relief, I thought he was heading to the royal dining bit he headed straight to the kitchen and that seems to pique my interest.
There was an empty spot to seat and he made me sit while he went over to the maids.
"Can you lend me the kitchen for some moment?"
The maid glanced at my direction and stared at me , then back to him in confusion.
"I'll get whatever you need Alpha, just tell me ."
"I need the kitchen!" He said and everyone looked shocked.
"He's too cute to be in the kitchen!" One of then slammed and stared at me.
"I wonder why he brought her here."
"She's supposed to be the one to be in the kitchen and not him, did she hypnotized him….He seemed so stupid to even walk with her."
"Good Moons, if the King wasn't cute I would have died, the king and the Alpha are really competing."
They all kept murmuring and the other maid seemed persistent and stubborn.
"I can't let you do this Alpha," She turned to glare at me and continued. " I understand that she lacks manners and etiquette but it's a sacrilege for a rogue to sit and let her Alpha enters the royal kitchen" She blabbed out and Kyle smiled, a menacing one.
"Why did you just call her?" His voice was cold and I felt the chills even if I wasn't the one he was referring to.
"I…I meant that-"
"Get the fuck out" He slammed heavily and she scrambled out like a rost rat.
The other maids stared in disbelief as they scolded the maid for defiling the Alpha's request and reminded her of the heated argument that broke out between the king and the Alpha .
I gasped and held so embarrassed at how news can fly, wishing to just crawl somewhere and hide.
Kyle smirked at me and came closer, "What do you want for breakfast?"
I stared around and I noticed the maids were still there, popping their eyes out to see and stretching their wide ears to listen to the both of us which made me feel so weird.
"This is not necessary Kyle " I mumured.
"It is, I'm going to prepare breakfast for you. Mmm…start with bacon, eggs, cheese and fried potatoes with coffee. You don't lie that?" He asked and frowned but I shook my head.
"Or should I prepare turkey soup for you, you actually enjoyed the last time I have it to you, would you prefer I prepared the spaghetti Bolognese or the-"
"Kyle!!" I yelled.
"I'll go with the first please, bacon and eggs."
He grinned at me and got all the items ready.
I frowned when he went for the flour.
"What are you using that for?"
"Pancakes, I love pancakes. I'll do that for myself."
"Oh!" I nodded and smiled.
"I'll eat whatever you eat."
He winked at me and I opted to help but he totally declined and told me to sit and watch a model in the kitchen.
I totally snorted and called him cocky.
The next few minutes were filmed with the sweet aroma of eggs, bacon, pancakes and potatoes.
My stomach rumbled at the sight and I cursed.
"Told you, it was desperately hungry " He said and passed me the fork and I sighed in the meal, savoring the taste and moaning out.
"I'm a star chef you know?"
"Jeez ,can you let me eat in peace before rubbing it all over my Face?"
"He's worse than Ethan."
We all turned to the direction of the voice and I smiled and nodded, gesturing for him to join us.
"Eat some Tyler, Kyle made a lot as if he's throwing a party."
I pushed the plates of pancakes to him and he took a bite.
"This is nice and rare." He complimented and Kyle smirked.
"How rare?"
"For him to be good at cooking, he rarely has time for his life except for his recruit so how he's even able to brew coffee is fascinating."
I rolled my eyes at him but I smiled inwardly, staring at Kyle right now; I knew it was so impossible for me not to fall for him.
A lid scream distracted us and we both turned our heads to the direction.
Marcella.
"I'm sorry but we had to leave the Kitchen for the Alpha!"
"Are you insane?" She yelled. "You made me starve because of some Alpha? What the heck is he to make everyone leave!"
The maid cowered and apologized , pointing at us and she stomped towards our direction in fury.
"What the hell?"
"What's what?" Kyle slammed back?
"I wasn't referring to you Kyle so shit up and let me face this rogue with the effrontery to sit here proudly after making the maids leave to make the king Starve!" She yelled and Kyle stood up.
"Look at me when talking and leave her out of this! I ordered them to go out and the King was already served! Take your nosy self out of here before you rile me up."
"I'm so disappointed in you Kyle!" She screamed.
"Even if I got rejected, is the only option left? You dropped a quality high class to go for a low and weak riff raff like her." Kyle lost it and raised his hands to hit her but I stopped him and held his hand.
"Just the fuck out from her Marcella"
She smirked and came closer to him.
" I'll make sure that you realize how I made the wrong choice and caused the same pain I felt when you rejected me."
She slammed and walked out, leaving me in total dismay with her threat.
