Her Mate's Nanny

CHAPTER 5

ANITA POV

I was expecting I would be taken to an open place and be executed in public with everyone watching, but to my greatest surprise, I was taken to a beautiful manison, and there was no one around.

Before I could ask what I was doing here, I felt his scent all over the place.

This is the Alpha King’s house.

“Erm sorry for disturbing me, but can you please tell me what I am doing here? At least I need to prepare myself mentally.” I told the man.

“I also don’t know why you are here. I was only intrusted to bring you here.” he answered.

“Oh okay.”

It’s no use asking him any more questions because he seems clueless.

He stopped walking in front of a door and opened it.

“Go in and take a bath. You can wear the clothes that are in there. You have less than five minutes to be done. I will be waiting for you here. Remember not to try anything funny, or else your head will be chopped off.” he said, then moved aside for me to walk in.

It was a bathroom which was bigger than any bathrooms I have ever seen.

Before I could start to think, I remembered I had been timed and I needed to use my time wisely. I need to bathe fast because I need this more than anything. I can still feel the stinking smell on me.

I pulled off the shirt that was on me all this while and hopped into the bathtub.

As soon as the water hit my body, I felt like it was washing down my stress and fatigue. I scrubbed my body, enjoying the scent from the soap.

The bath was heavenly, and I didn’t want to stop, but sadly, I had to get out of the bathtub because I had a few minutes to get dressed.

I cleaned my wet body with the towel I found and began to dress.

I picked up the underwear, and to my greatest surprise, it was my exact size.

I put on the trouser and shirt I found on the bed and they fit me also.

Whoever picked this outfit seems to know me just by looking at me.

“Time up.” I heard as he began to knock the door.

I opened the door and walked out.

“I am ready.” I announced.

The man looked at me, and his face changed a little. He had a sign of satisfaction on his face.

“Good. Let’s go.” he said as he began to walk again.

The journey wasn’t a long one this time around. We entered the dining room, and my jaw almost dropped.

It was so big. I am sure more than fifty people can fit in here.

“The Alpha will join you soon.” the man said and left me all alone in this huge dining room.

I stood still, not knowing what to do next.

Should I sit down to wait or remain standing?

I didn’t know what to do, so I kept standing as I waited.

“……hungry.” I heard a now familiar voice say behind me.

I turned and saw the alpha and his son walk in.

As usual, his cold look was on his face.

I could see he wasn’t pleased to see me.

It's not like I actually care or mind.

Immediately the little man saw me, he let out a happy scream and ran to me.

Out of instinct, I went down to my kneels and opened my arms as he ran to them. He wrapped his small hands around my neck and as he hugged me.

I couldn’t help but smile at his happy reaction just by seeing me. I never knew I was this important to this little guy.

Someone interrupted us by clearing his throat.

I raised my head to see the alpha wasn’t looking pleased at the little interaction between his son and I.

“Kinn.” he called his son, who only turned his head to look at him but didn’t let me go.

“Yes daddy.”

“Remember our agreement.” he said.

“I remember Daddy.” The little man smiled, then he looked at me.

“Hello, my name is Kinn. Nice to meet you. And you look so beautiful. I love your long hair.” he smiled as he smooth my hair.

I blushed because no one had ever complimented me like this little guy.

Also, if he says I am beautiful, then I am sure he is saying the truth because children never lie.

“Thank you, Kinn. My name is Anita and I must say you have really beautiful eyes.” I pinch his nose, causing him to giggle.

I have always wanted to touch him, and now that I am doing that, I feel fulfilled.

“Anita. I love your name. How about I call you Nita?” he asked curiously.

“Huh? What does that mean?” I asked.

“It is your name. Anita…. Nita. It’s nice, right, or don’t you like it?” he asked, looking concerned.

“Of course I love it. You are the first person to give me a nickname. I like it so much. Thank you, little man.” I smiled.

“Is little man your nickname for me?” he asked, looking so adorable.

“Yes of course. You are my little man. To me, you are a man already.” I kept smiling.

“Dad you hear that, I am a man and not a baby.” he turned to his dad with a proud look on his face.

His dad said nothing and kept looking at us.

I remembered that I was here for something serious. But he isn’t saying anything yet.

I am not sure if I can relax now or still panic.

“Nita, I want you to join me to have some breakfast. I am sure you haven’t eaten yet. So why don’t we eat together. Please don’t say no.” the little man begged.

“I can’t do that. I am not here to eat. I came to see your father for an important matter. You know what, why don’t you just eat while I speak to your dad. Then when you are done eating we can play together?” I asked him softly.

He began to pout, then he turned to his dad.

“Daddy, Anita doesn’t want to eat breakfast with me. I want to eat with her.” he sounded like he was about to eat.

His father let out a sigh.

“Clara!!!!” he called out.

An elderly woman rushed out of a door and stood before us.

“Alpha you called.” The woman who I assume is Clara said.

“Bring two plates and serve the food.” he said.

“Is little Alpha going to eat now?” Clara asked, looking concerned.

“Yes he will.” Alpha Zain answered.

She rushed to the kitchen, looking happy after hearing that Kinn was about to eat.

“Nita you heard dad, you are eating with me, so let’s go.” The kid began to pull me.

I followed him obediently and sat beside him on the big table.

Clara returned back with sandwiches, fried eggs, and tea for Kinn, juice for me.

“Let’s eat Nita.” Kinn said.

I didn’t need to be told twice. I began to eat because I was so hungry.

Kinn began to eat also, and he looks so happy.

His father sat across watching us like a guard.

I noticed his eyes softened when he watched his son eating.

We both cleared our plates, and it felt so nice to be finally satisfied.

“Kinn I am sure you are happy now.” Alpha Zain asked.

“Yes daddy. I am so happy that I ate with Nita. Can we eat together later?” the innocent child asked, looking at me.

“Kinn go to your room, I want to have a word with her.” his father said.

I was expecting the child to protest, but he was obedient this time, and he left after waving me and promising to come back.

After he had left, the atmosphere changed.

It was just him and I.

“I don’t have time to beat around the bush, so I will go straight to the point.”

My heart began to pump so fast.

“You are granted two options to pick just one. Either I kill you……”

I gulped.

“….. or you will behave and be my son’s nanny.”

I choked on my saliva and began to cough.

“Sorryyyy please…… I didn’t get the last thing you said.” I said after I found my voice.

“This is the last time I will repeat myself. I said you should either pick either to die or take care of my son. He likes you and insists I keep you alive. So, pick an answer right now.” he ordered.

“Could this be the miracle we prayed for?” Ari asked as she was also in shock by what we just heard.

“I don’t think I like this miracle in any way.” I grumbled.

“But you have no choice. You have just been granted a second chance. We better make use of it so we can think later how to get the hell out of here.” she advised.

I almost clapped in front of the alpha, but I did it mentally.

“You are so smart, Ari. It is better to be a nanny. That way, we can leave this place rather than die now.” I smiled mentally.

“I don’t have all day for you to think. Be fast about it.”

“Can you calm down? I never said I would use the whole day to think.” I informed him.

He gave me a look. I knew now is not the time to act all rashly around him, or I will get myself into trouble.

“Fine. I will be his nanny.” I agreed.

“Good for you. Also, remember that nothing is going to happen between the both of us. I am only forced to allow you to stay alive only because of my son.” he said before he left the dining room.

I stood and thought of what he said.

He isn’t keeping me here because we are mates. It’s only because of his son.Without his son, I would be long gone and forgotten. He never cares.

Such is life.

I am now my mate’s nanny

What an irony of life.
