Destined To Be Theirs

Episode 6

Adija's Pov

I bit my lower lip in frustration the next morning as I stared at myself in the mirror. My lips felt sensitive but looked perfect. Butterflies fluttered in my stomach every time I remembered the previous night’s ordeal with Alpha Zarek. It had been perfect, to say the least. But it all ended with that hot kiss; we couldn't go further because, suddenly, there was a knock on his door, and his beta came in to inform him of urgent matters that needed his attention. It was frustrating for both of us because we were in the heat of the moment.

“Shall we bring you your morning food now, my lady?” one of the maids I had grown accustomed to asked with a polite smile knocking me out of my thoughts. Her name was Zora, and I found her rather charming. I wondered why she was working as a maid here and what kind of person would have sold her into such hardship. She appeared young, around fifteen. I couldn’t help but see her as a younger sister.

“If it doesn’t cause you too much trouble, please do,” I replied.

She gave me a polite smile and said, “Certainly not, my lady,” before leaving the room with a quick step. I looked at myself in the mirror once more, different thoughts swirling through my mind. What exactly did the Alpha have in store for me next? It seemed he was serious about making me his mistress. From the intensity of his kiss yesterday, it was clear he had many dark desires he wanted to fulfill.

“Your food is here,” Zora announced with her usual bubbly energy as she brought in an entire buffet. Being Alpha Zarek’s mistress wasn’t so bad, considering the luxury I was now experiencing. I was treated like a queen, a feeling I had never known before. It finally occurred to me why so many desired to be with him as his mistress.

I reached for my food, picking up the spoon and bringing it to my lips to sample one of the delicacies. Just then, someone smacked the spoon from my hand. I looked up, curious, and to my surprise, it was the mistress named Veronica again. I couldn’t help but wonder what I had done wrong.

Then, she did something shocking—she flipped the table holding my food, hot soup splashing on me. I winced in pain and recoiled in fear. “You...” she growled as she approached me, “You were supposed to stay away from the Alpha yet you went to his room last night. Have you chosen death? Rest assured, I will make your life miserable and end it slowly.”

Her behavior was outrageous. Why was she making these threats? Like her, I was just another mistress here, forced against my will, so we had more in common than she might admit. Why was she blaming me?

“I was simply following the Alpha’s order. He demanded to see me,” I said, but she merely offered a cold, mocking smile.

“You don’t understand that you don’t belong here. You are overstepping your boundaries. What the Alpha and I have is beyond your comprehension,” she said with a small, sinister smile. “You have made an enemy of me, and I will show you what happens to someone who does,” she added before turning and leaving the room.

What is wrong with that crazy lady? She acts as if she were a wife, not just a mistress. But she is beyond scary, more than words can describe. I didn’t want to be in this situation as his mistress; I never asked for it. Why is she blaming me, as if I weren’t a victim in all this?

“I am sorry about that, my lady,” Zora apologized as she dropped to the ground to start cleaning up the mess. “I will have them prepare you another breakfast and bring you medicine for your burn.” I checked my left hand where the soup had splashed on as I winced in pain. It was red and painful, but definitely not something that might need any kind of medicine.

“I will be fine, don't you worry...” I was about to kneel beside her to help clean when suddenly, one of the guards entered the room.

He delivered a message, saying, “Alpha Zarek has called for you.” I wondered why the Alpha was calling me now, especially in broad daylight. Was he going to continue from where he left off?

I nodded at the guard, ready to follow him, when another maid appeared. “Sorry to bother you, my lady, but Lycan Remus requests to see you right away!”

My heart dropped as I looked between the maids and the guards. What did she just say? Alpha Zarek wants to see me, and at the same time, Lycan Remus wants to see me too?

Then I remembered Remus's words: “Whenever I ask for you, you shall come running, even if you are on top of my brother’s cock.”

If I don’t meet Zarek now as he ordered, he will be angry, and I will be punished. If I don’t see Remus immediately, he might reveal my secret, and that would mean death.

What can I do?
