MATE TO THE INHUMAN ALPHA

chapter 13

Nykon left and Sephora twitched back into her room. It still baffles her, why would the king demand for his lunch through her?

She contorted her face. "You're sad that our mate wants you to prepare his lunch? No… you should be happy." The wolf in her uttered.

She pouted her lips like one in deep thought. "Mia, you don't understand… There's a chef here so he shouldn't ask that from me, besides I need to take a rest from the stress I'm passing through here."

"He's your Alpha, so you shouldn't question his order. He's your mate, so you should care about him." Mia stated.

She widened her eyes. "Do you even know what you're saying Mia? An alpha that's maltreating her mate? I'm just tired of all this drama."

"You shouldn't, Sephora, this is still the beginning so you shouldn't be tired. There are lots of things ahead of us and we're yet to know that."

Sephora circled her lips. She's contemplating on the one her wolf just said and it's saying again.

"What do you mean there are lots of things ahead of us? I don't get you." She questioned.

"And I can't explain further, when things start happening… you'll know what I'm talking about." Mia concluded.

She didn't say a word again, not even to question her wolf. The fact is that everything the wolf stated is damn confusing to her.

"When things start happening… but what is it that will start happening? I just hope that it isn't something tragic…" she murmured and got on her feet.

She left the room immediately to go prepare the meal, but she mwt Alpha Leon while passing through the corridor.

"Long live, the Alpha king." She greeted with a bow.

He ordered her to stand erect and look at him. "Why are you greeting me that way? I'm not your Alpha?"

"You rejected me… or you've forgotten?" She snapped and looked off at him.

He smiled. "And so f*****g what? You should refer to me as your Alpha. And besides, I ordered you to prepare my lunch… have you done that?"

She glanced at him and hissed. "That's what I'm heading to the kitchen to do. But why should you give such an order when you have a chef?"

"You're my chef for now… don't question my order." He muttered.

Sephora swallowed deeply. "I hate you so much." She sputtered and was about to leave his sight… but he drew her back.

"That's not how to leave your alpha's presence. I hate you more than you do to me, but you must respect my order and presence." He uttered.

Sephora glared at him and kicked off his palm from his arm. "Let go of me." She yelled and left him alone.

Leon stood staring at her until she vanished from his sight. "I wonder how the moon goddess gave me such a vulnerable mate… you'll yet to pass through the hell slaves pass through in their master's hands." He smiled and walked away.

He stepped into his room and immediately, Elsa dashed in. She bowed down before him.

No one knew that she had been watching him exchange words with his mate, and she's really happy about it.

"Your majesty. I want to tell you something." She uttered.

He turned to her and got seated. "What's it?"

"It's about Sephora, she keeps bragging around because of the personal room she has saying that you don't treat her like a slave… she even pushed me out of her room today when I came to know how she's doing." She narrated.

Leon was busy cleaning his face with his towel. The only thing he had expected to hear is that Masha had delivered the golden chain… but he recalled that she's in the dungeon.

"Miss Elsa, what do you want me to do to her then? If she brags about the room it isn't your problem… besides slaves don't have their personal room."

"That's why you should take the room away from her… Yes! So that she will stop making a hell of noise because of that." Elsa suggested.

Alpha Leon stared at her. This lady must be insane. "Do you realize that Sephora is my mate? Or you've forgotten."

"I can remember, but you rejected her, meaning that you aren't interested in her again." She gestured.

Leon heaved a big sigh. "Leave my room Elsa and I don't want to see you for the whole of today. I need to take a rest."

"I'm your mistress Alpha king, but anyways… I'll leave for now and will massage your back at night." She assured him.

He nodded. Truly, he needs a massage.

Elsa left his room instantly.

"Where's the king's plate before you leave?" Sephora referred to the chef who was almost at the door.

She returned and showed her the place it is kept.

"But wait, did you offend the king that he doesn't want you to cook for him now?" She inquired from the chef.

The young lady shook her head. "I didn't offend him, that's just his choice this afternoon." She replied.

Sephora stretched her lips, she's still thinking of the reason he asked for the lunch prepared by her when he already rejected her.

"It's okay then, you can go."

The chef sighed. "Ma'am, hope you are not having issues with him? Forget the fact that he rejected you."

She shook her head. "I'm not, just that I'm shocked."

"You don't need to be shocked, he's your mate no matter what it takes." She remarked and left the kitchen.

Sephora glanced at her while she left and heaved a big sigh. She isn't ever ready to act some drama with him.

She was so busy organizing the foodstuffs when a guard whom she hadn't set her eyes on walked into the kitchen.

His face was too serious to her liking, but she didn't care.

"Your mother is outside to see you." The guard announced.

She was so shocked that her feet were glued to the ground. How can her mother come over to see her?

Does she know where she is? Will she save her from his hands when she could do that in her family?

She turned to see the guard still standing. "I'm busy with the king's lunch, so you will have to tell her to wait until I'm done…and besides, how sure are you that she's my mother?"

"She explained herself and Elsa had already exchanged pleasantries with her." He replied

She shrugged her shoulders. "Just tell her that I'll be there now."

He nodded and left.

Sephora was still in deep thought. "Hope Elsa didn't tell her anything about me?" She shook her head. "I'll skin her alive if she makes that mistake."

It dawned on her that she needs all concentration in what she's doing, so she had to forget about everything and face the meal until she was done.

She served the food on his plate and decided to go ask if it should be set for him, but she found him asleep.

With that, she decided not to disturb him. She believed that he would be awake when she was done with her mother.

So she left outside to see her seated on a chair.

"Mum…" she screamed and ran into her arms.

"Sephora…" She hugged her warmly.

They both stared at each other and smiled, then hugged again before getting seated beside each other.

"I'm sorry for not being here all this while, I felt sick when your father said that the Alpha king took you with him." She wiped her face.

Sephora gripped her palm. "You don't need to worry mum, I'm okay."

"Elsa told me that he's your mate and he rejected you." She uttered.

Sephora felt disappointed, she has never wished to let her family know about it and here her mother is saying things she wants to keep hidden.

"Don't worry daughter,I understand how you feel now because of that. But you should know that everything happens for a reason."

She was fed up. "Who's my father? Why I'm i an omega in the midst of the betas? This is actually the reason he rejected me…"

"I don't know your father and I don't know why you're an Omega." Her mum replied.

She gritted her teeth. "You need to tell Elsa to stay away from the King, he's my mate and not hers."

"And you know that I can't do anything about it, the king might be the one who wants her."

Sephora's eyes flew open. How would her mother say such a thing? "You're supporting her huh?"

"I'm not Sephora, but because of that you need to be strong enough to take what belongs to you…fight for right and take care of yourself." She concluded.

Sephora nodded. She had known her mother as one who doesn't support her…neither does she support Elsa.

They embraced and she left into the building after her mother had left.

She moved to the dining room to see the king already seated. "I'm sorry my King, I'll get your meal now."

Leon nodded. He still feels sleepy, but Elsa had awoken him because of the lunch.

She served the meal in the dining room and left him alone in her room.

Within minutes, she had already fallen asleep… but a heavy knock on her door awoke her.

She unlocked the door to see Nykon. This dude won't stop disturbing her precious sleep.

"You're wanted at the dinning. The meal you served the king was poisoned… and he's dying." Nykon announced.

She stiffened at a place in shock. How can that be? Who poisoned the food?
