A Fallen Bride For The Alpha Of Alphas

4: silks and sheets

Iris's Pov

I was taken to the new pack and a series of thoughts went through my mind before we got there.

How was he going to treat me when I get there? Would he take my life just to pacify himself or would he turn me into a slave? Those questions roamed my mind all through until we got there.

On getting there, I felt fear hold a grip on me as the only person I had on my mind was the Alpha of Alphas. But still, I wasn't going to let my fear show and have so many people ridicule or berate me.

So, I held my head high despite everything, even the reason I was here.

As we got to the palace, I was led by the maids to a room which I thought was for me to rest in.

“Please take off your clothes, miss.” one of the maids requested politely.

“Why?” I demanded, feeling on edge and also skeptical.

“You have to take your bath.” Another responded respectfully.

Seriously?

Despite how good I look and smelt, they still feel I have to take a bath?

“Is that an insult or something?” I questioned, gaze instantly narrowed.

“No, miss. It's just that the Alpha might get pissed if we don't do that. It's more of our thing to freshen you up again before you finally meet him.” The first maid explained to me.

“Hmmm. Alright.” I replied calmly, reminding myself that I needed to be level headed since I’m currently in a new place with no knowledge of what to expect either.

Then they moved closer to me and helped me take off my clothes which I managed to endure because it only reminded me of how Pierce’s palace maids forced me to have one.

Although, the only difference was that the maids here didn't handle me roughly.

The moment I was naked, they led me into the bathroom where the bathtub was filled with warm water and rose petals in it.

It was quite attractive, and even when I stepped into the bathtub and allowed them to wash me with their soft hands, my mind still drifted to the end of all these, worriedly.

After my bath, they dressed me in a pink silk robe and I walked up to the mirror to check myself out. My eyes were sunken and my flowing hair was framing my face and shoulders. The color of my eyes were dull and my cheeks were very pale.

“You're all set.” One of the maids informed me.

“What do you mean by that?” I asked, wondering if there was still something else they needed to do with me again.

“I mean it is time to leave, miss.” she responded calmly and I looked at the other maids who just left the room.

“Am I meeting the alpha of alpha now?” I asked and she smiled politely.

“Follow me, miss.” The maid who was left urged me, and I followed her, wondering where next I was being led to, but I followed calmly as we walked through the wide hallways and I stared at each painting I came across on the wall.

Each painting was all of nature, but I couldn't decipher if the Alpha of Alphas was a lover of nature or if these were the paintings that have been here even before he was born.

“We're here, miss.” She informed me as we got to a particular hallway and halted at the door before us.

Then she pushed the door open, and I was stricken in awe.

It was a spacious, elegant and luxurious room which was large contain to contain over 10 people without any complaints for space. Was this a room for me to wait in? what was it meant for actually?

Then we walked in, as we did, I couldn't help but look around in amazement. It was so big, but whoever stays or stayed in this room was a fan of dark things. Everything about the decorations of the bedroom was dark and grey, from the curtains to the rugs.

“This is the Alpha of Alphas’ room. Kindly wait as he'll be here shortly.” The maid suddenly said to me and walked out of the room before I could ask a question.

I felt pissed and anger consumed me. If I was brought here to be his bride, I expected the asshole to be kind enough to welcome me himself or anything.

Instead, I was left practically naked in his room like I was some sort of w***e prepared for his pleasure, and I didn’t like that thought one bit.

But then, thinking about that, I really hoped that he wasn't planning on raping me tonight. Even at that, I couldn't just hope alone. All the rumors I have heard about him painted him to be someone that could do anything, so I wouldn't be surprised if that was what he had in mind.

I definitely can't allow him to take advantage of me and give my enemies satisfaction.

Something had to be done. I couldn't possibly escape yet, not when I hadn't studied the position of the guards at night and every other details which would be important for me to know for a safe and successful escape.

I paced around slowly with my index finger nail in between my teeth, thinking of the best thing to do in this situation.

“I'm just going to give him a piece of my mind and everything should be resolved. No one has tried, I guess. But I will.” I concluded, and sat at the edge of his bed, waiting for him to get here.

I won't let him think that I am vulnerable just like other women might have been to him.

I yawned and stretched a little, then laid down, still at the edge, but stared at the ceiling.

“Why is he taking so long to get here?” I said as I stared at the ceiling with my eyes becoming heavy.

No matter how much I tried to make my eyelids stay open, it proved difficult and when I decided to wait with my eyes closed, I didn't know when I drifted off to sleep.

My eyelids slowly opened and the first thing I set my eyes on was the ceiling. I guess my body had grown so tired that I even felt sleepy in the luxurious room I was asked to wait in.

I sat up and rubbed my eyes. The Alpha of Alphas wasn't still here. What exactly was he doing that he hadn't come to check who had been sent as a bride to him? What an insult on my face.

But as I looked around, I saw a large figure filling out a chair in the darkened part of the room, and I instantly stiffened as the air instantly got knocked out of my lungs.

Is that the alpha of Alphas?!

His presence alone sent an intense shiver down my spine and I felt my breath hitch in my throat as everything around me seemed so intense and overwhelming.

Fear gripped me in the next moment and my heart skipped a beat, especially when the figure leaned forward in the shadow. I couldn’t make out his face, or anything – asides from his built, and goddess, was he huge.

Had he been watching me this whole time?

Oh heavens.

How long has he been sitting there? And what is he gonna do with me now? Is he even pleased by my presence? Worst of all, now that I was awake, would he try to rape me? Or perhaps kill me out of rage? Because I was going to struggle and fight until my very last breath.

However, when he finally spoke, it was the last thing I expected him to say.

“Get out of my bedroom.” His voice was deep and filled with so much vibrations that I found myself almost falling out of the bed from shock.

Did he… did he just ask me to get out?
