Chapter 29

ALEXIA

.

Night cane faster than I anticipated. I've been trying my very best to enjoy the rest of the day without thinking about what Asher said in the morning but I couldn't. I was scared out of my mind. I don't know what he wanted from me but I was scared.

Our last encounter wasn't pleasant. He hurt me and being with again in the same room was like asking me to go straight into the forest of the wild ones and have them tear me from limb to limb. The thought of it was frightening.

There was a sound knock on the door of my chambers and I almost jumped out of my skin.

I rushed towards the door and opened it. There were three maids standing outside my chambers. The hell?

I gulped "How can I help you?"

"Alpha Asher ordered us to get you ready for tonight. Please let us in"

I blinked once, twice and thrice.

Nothing in the world prepared me for something like this.

I shifted, giving them space to enter.

They walked with a tray and basket what was neatly covered.

"Let's get you ready" One of the maids spoke up as if reading my mind. I nodded and she signalled the other two who walked towards me and stripped me naked.

I became self conscious standing naked in front of them but I consoled myself with the fact that they were women like me and won't hurt me.

"Don't worry. We'll take good care of you" she assured me and I nodded in hesitation.

The other two entered my bathroom and filled my tub with water. The made a bath for me with scented leaves and candles and made me sit inside as they started scrubbing my body. They did it so carefully, painstakingly like they were afraid to harm me or something.

I wonder why Asher would order this sort of treatment for me. It was normally done for the Alpha's concubine or queen and not a mere Omega like me. What exactly is he plotting this time? What does he want with me today?

The rubbed my body with soap and washed me clean. I won't lie. I was enjoying the treatment. This is the first time that someone has ever treated me to something like this. It felt nice but then again it's frightening.

They finished with the bath and wiped me dry with a clean towel before throwing a robe over my shoulders.

I was led out of the bathroom to the bedroom and was made to sit down while they applied oil to my skin and applied minimal makeup on my face with red lipstick then proceeded to style my hair. I looked like a seductress.

Was this why Asher insisted that I come into his room?

When they finished with my hair, they wore me a light see through black robe.

"Our work here is done. You're ready?" They announced.

"Ready for what?" I was forced to ask "Is there a reason why the alpha king is inviting me to his chambers?" I worriedly ask but they don't respond.

"We'll lead you there" they replied instead. Completely ignoring my previous questions.

I looked at myself one last time in the mirror before walking outside the bedroom as I made my way to Asher's bedroom.

I thought about Fred and my heart bled. I have really come to like that man and I cannot help it because he is also my mate. I am drawn to him as much as I am drawn to Asher and I can't deny my feelings when I am close to him.

We arrived at Asher's door and they opened the door, allowing me to step inside before shutting the door behind me.

I have never been into Asher's room before. It looks bold and beautiful. It looks exactly like him but then there is this kind of peace that comes with being inside his bedroom. It's heartwarming.

He wasn't inside his chambers and so I took the opportunity to feed my eyes on every article and artifact in his room. It's richly decorated and embedded with pretty marbles. Fred's room was nice as well. It was simple and it reflected the kind of man that he is.

I sat down on the bed as I waited nervously for Asher. I have no idea what would become of me this night and I tried my best to keep my nervousness at bay.

Seconds passed and turned to minutes and minutes to hours.

Just when I was about to give up the hopes of him coming, I felt the familiar ache on my legs. At first I want to think that it's Fred but it wasn't.

The door flies open and Asher walks into his bedroom Looking as majestic as ever with a deep scrowl on his face.

He took one look at me and I got up instantly and inclined my head in greeting.

He seemed to ignore my greeting because he only removed his clothes and walked into his bathroom.

My heart was beating all through because I don't know what's going through his mind and I don't know what to expect either.

Minutes later, he walked out of the bathroom naked.

I swallowed hard when I saw the flesh in between his thighs. What in the world.

I averted my gaze and looked elsewhere. I don't want him to catch me staring and think that I'm some sort of pervert.

"I didn't think you'd come" he said to me after minutes of keeping me silent. For a moment there, I even thought that I was deaf.

"Why would you think that Alpha king? I can never defile your orders my Lord" I respond with my head still bent to the ground.

"Look at me when you speak!" He ordered and I slowly raised up my head to look at him. He was dressed up in his robe now.

He walked towards me and trailed his hands on my face. "Thank you for coming" he whispered softly and I wondered what had happened to him all of a sudden.
