Chasing the rejected Luna

18: In his pack

Sophia

It was shocking to see all of the servants go about their business without giving me a second look. I was not part of them because of my scent but they all did like I was invisible.

I guessed Alpha Ryven must have warned them about it. But thinking about it, he wasn't the type of person to do such a thing. I took my mind off it when we stopped in front of a door.

I looked at the Beta beside me and he smiled down at me. He was a nice man. He opened the door and my mouth fell agape at what lay before me - the room was painted in my favorite purple color. Not only that, there was a princess bed in the middle of the room. It looked like one of the rooms that would only be seen in movies.

At the side of the room was a huge dressing table, on which different makeup kits lay. And at the side of the room were two doors. One leading to the bathroom and the other leading to what I guessed would be the closet.

"You like it?" The Beta asked and I looked sharply at him, I feared I might get a whip splash from it. My hair fell to my face from the action and he chuckled.

"Like? I love it. Is this my my room?" I asked him to be sure I wouldn't be happy just to realize my room would be worse than the one I had in my former pack.

It was funny how I adapted so quickly to the pack, that I had unintentionally called it my former pack. And Alpha Ryven's pack my new pack. I missed my old pack. No doubt but I was looking forward to a brighter future here.

"Of course. It's your room. What do you expect from Alpha Ryven? You're his special guest so it's only right you be treated as such," he said and walked into the room while I followed suit.

My throat was constricted from too many emotions. Why would someone who barely knew me do that much for me?

"I don't understand, how am I his special guest?" I asked him when we got into the room and he stopped to look at me. There was something in his eyes that I could not decipher. It had been there all along since the time we were in the car but I chose to ignore it.

But at that moment, I noticed it one more time. What was he hiding from me? And there was a way he looked at me that he hadn't looked at me before. I couldn't explain it because I didn't know what

it was.

"Just know you are," he said and decided to stop there. "There are clothes in the closet for you. In case you need anything, just ring the bell there," he said and pointed to a bell that was lodged on the wall beside the bed.

I bit my lips, my thoughts running wild. But I decided to stay silent. I knew no matter how much I asked him, he wouldn't spill. I just needed to wait for Alpha Ryven.

His footsteps receded while my eyes took in the room again, amazed at the setting of the room. It was one fit for a princess and not a lowly slave like me.

He got to the door and stopped. I turned around to look at him to find him looking at me.

"Alpha Ryven wants to come down for dinner later. I suggest you take your bath now and rest," he said and opened the door, walking out of the room.

I let my feet roam the whole of the room, touching different things I wasn't familiar with but made sure not to break anything in case I found out it was all a lie.

Stripping, I got to the bathroom and my jaw almost hit the floor. The bathroom was made up of white tiles. I felt like I was in the underworld. Or with Selene, the moon goddess.

The bathroom felt too clean for me. Out of reflex, I almost ran out of the bathroom but I had to stell my nerves. I soaked myself in the tub with hot water which helped to loosen my tensed muscles.

While in the water, I went over everything that happened within the last twenty-four hours. I loved Alexander and lost him within a day. My love turned into intense hate and then turned into nothing. I was numbed from all the emotions. I just wanted to crawl into bed and wake up to find out I had a long dream.

Where I was back in the pack, with Alexander hating me, Dianne bullying me and her mother being the ever-kind woman.

The water turned cold and that was when I realized I wasn't dreaming. I was in reality. It felt too surreal, I knew I would probably wake up when the sun went down.

Placing the thick bathrobe around my tiny frame, I opened the door to the closet and I stopped breathing for a moment. The room was filled with clothes for different occasions. From my panties to

party wear.

But the most surprising part, it was all my size. It made me wonder how Alpha Ryven got my size without my knowledge.

I settled for comfortable joggers and a matching top. And went to the bed. It was so comfy I fell asleep within minutes.

I woke up to the sound of someone knocking on the door. I groggily woke up, rubbing my eyes. It took me a while to realize where I was before breathing in a sigh of relief.

A servant in a white uniform walked into the room. I was reminded of the reason I was in the pack. I needed to do something.

She stood by the door, not walking in. "Alpha Ryven asks for you in the dining room," she said with her head bent low to the ground. Content is © 2024 NôvelDrama.Org.

I stood up and walked to her without a word. I was eager to talk to Alpha Ryven about the reason I was in the pack and what I would be doing. She got the hint and began leading the way.

The pack was nothing short of beautiful. There were strange engravings on the wall that spoke of how ancient the building was. I was so engrossed in the drawing on the wall, I didn't realize we were standing in front of two huge double doors.

The servant bowed to me and walked off in the direction we had come. I took that as a cue to push the door open and it was pulled from inside.

Poking my head in, I saw Alpha Ryven sitting at the head of a long table with a girl as his companion. His brows furrowed and his eyes came to rest on mine which brought a smile to his lips.

"Come over," he waved me over and the girl looked toward me. There was some form of resemblance between them. I knew she was his sister from the shape of her brows and the color of her eyes.

I walked over to them with my nerves on fire. I had never seen someone look at me like I was his most prized possession with the way Alpha Ryven looked at me. His eyes were all over me and I felt happiness radiate from him.

I got to the table and sat down beside him. His sister looked at me with intrigue.

"Who are you?" She asked me and I was tongue-tied. I didn't know how to reply to that. I didn't even know who I was to be sitting at the dining table with the Alpha of a pack. Luckily, Alpha Ryven came to my aid.

"She's someone you would have loved to meet a long time ago. Get used to her because she will be staying with us here in the pack house," he said and winked at me. I blushed under his gaze and looked at my plate.

It was filled with different types of food I had never seen in my entire life. Also, it looked delicious so I placed a spoonful of it into my mouth. A little moan escaped me as I relished the feeling of the food.

"That didn't answer my question. Who is she? And why would she be staying in the pack house? She's not your mate is she?" The girl asked and I choked on my food, coughing profusely.

Alpha Ryven quickly poured me a glass of water and I chugged it down, my eyes watering because of the lack of air in my lungs. He rubbed my back until I could breathe properly. I said a silent thank you to him, mouthing it to him because I was too scared of angering the girl who sat opposite me.

"She's not my mate. She would be staying here. Let's just drop it!" Alpha Ryven snapped and I flinched. I had never seen him mad. And to be honest, he looked scary as his face morphed into anger.

His sister dropped her spoon noisily on her plate, her anger also getting the better of her. I was so scared, that I feared if I breathed too loudly, it would be a trigger. A thick silence hung in the room as I clutched my fork and stared at the plate of food.

"I know what this is. You promised Mother you would be with Erica. Why her?" She asked with a breaking voice. What was going on? Alpha Ryven wants to be with me? And who was Erica?

"Don't spill nonsense. I won't tolerate you telling me what to do!" He stood up from the chair. It made a screeching sound which made me jump in my seat. My appetite was forgotten as I prayed for peace to reign.

"Spill nonsense? You just can't bring a nobody here and let her eat with us. This pack belongs to you as much as it belongs to me!" She yelled and I looked up just in time to see her push her plate off the table, crashing with a terrific sound.

My heart hammered in my chest as my blood refused to flow in my veins. Had I known my presence would bring a fight, I would never have come. Here I was, thinking being in Alpha Ryven's pack would be all sunshine and rainbows.

"This should be the last time you call her a nobody. If you're not happy being here with her, then leave!"
