Marcella's Pov.
I definitely thought bad of all Alpha kings due to Alpha Grey's behaviour but I did not doubt that my second chance mate, Alpha Sebastian Hunter was different.
The moment he declared him his Luna, he ordered the pack maids to make sure I settled in comfortably as they took care of my bruises and my body entirely.
I just hoped that it wasn't another scheming and devious Alpha just like Alpha Grey! But he didn't seem like a devious Alpha, to me...he looked quite transparent and caring.
As the maids were done with their deeds on my body, I looked into the mirror and that girl in the mirror was definitely not me or was she?
I looked so different and more beautiful, I must commend. Even my skin was glowing brightly all in a short while. Happiness was sure an antidote to fatigue and stress.
After a few minutes of reminiscing and admiring my room, I heard a knock on the door.
"Who is it?." I asked as I pivoted in the direction of the door.
"It's just me, my Luna." A maid answered respectfully from the outside of the door.
"Come in," I ordered and the door immediately creaked open revealing her petite face.
"The Alpha King has invited you to have lunch with him." She declared and I nodded while she exited the room.
Just now and he's already asking me to lunch? I was already dressed but I decided to waste a few minutes before descending to the dining room... It's not like I even knew where the dining room was!
As I came out of my room, I took directions from a guard on duty and found my way to the dining room.
As I approached, the Alpha King arose from his seat only to drag out a seat for me and I couldn't help but flush a little.
There was a lot of variety of food spread out at the dining table and I felt maybe he was expecting other guests.
"Are we expecting someone else?." I intuitively asked and he shook his head in negativity so why this damn lay out of food.
"Of course not little lamb, why do you ask?." He questioned and I was taken aback.
Did he just call me little lamb? It sounded weird but it felt right as it fell out of his mouth.
As if he understood my reaction, he chuckled a little and grabbed his cutleries.
"You don't like the name? Well, I couldn't fathom another name to call you and I don't know your name yet." He said and scooped some soup into his plate, dishing some for me as well.
"I'm Marcella, Marcella Hazan. The reason I asked if you were expecting someone else is because of the vast range variety of food laid out here." I replied gesturing towards the table, as I took hold of my cutlery as well and began digging into the food.
Thank goodness I paid some attention when mum made it compulsory for us to learn the use of cutleries, I would looked like a total i***t now!
" Well, Variety is the spice of life. Alright, Marcella Hazan, well I hope you don't feel skeptical about these questions but I assure you it's just for formalities sake. It seemed to me that when you entered this pack, you were on the run from someone. May I know who and how you ended up here?." He interrogated and I couldn't help but mentally applaud this good-looking Alpha King.
I said what I said!! He is one hell of a good-looking man!
I then used the opportunity to explain everything that led to my being here as I felt really comfortable baring my heart and soul to this man.
When I was done, he looked at me with a pitiful gaze and said the words that I had never heard from anyone, words of assurance and redemption.
"It leaves a deep hole in my heart that my mate had to go through any of those gruesome and humiliating experiences but I assure you that it's all over now. You're home." He assured and gave off a wide smile, revealing his deep and alluring dimple and marvelous gaped and sparkling teeth.
After the meal, he took me on a tour around the palace himself and I couldn't believe that I was already feeling this comfortable around a stranger.
Well, he's not totally a stranger...he is my mate!
Yes, I had told him the whole truth about my darned life but something still remained untold. I couldn't bring myself to tell him that I was pregnant with another man's heirs.
I knew what I was doing was wrong but I didn't want the love and pamper to end. At least, not now!! So yes, I'm keeping that piece of information to myself.
Perhaps in due time, I would be able to divulge it but it certainly couldn't be now!!
I wouldn't spoil the fun I was just ushered in.
"Are you okay?." He asked when he noticed that I was spacing out and I just flashed a bright smile, masking everything that had been playing in my mind.
I can only hope he doesn't hate me when I eventually tell him about it!
As we strolled around, we both heard feet thudding and racing in our direction so we halted and he placed himself in front of me.
How protective!!
It turned out to only be a guard that had come to deliver some news to him.
"What is it?." He asked sternly and the guard fell on his feet in reverence.
"The Alpha of Green Oak Pack is here to see you." The guard informed and my heart skipped a few beats.
My dad was here!! To see my mate!!
Darn, if he ever sees me.. the lycan king would declare war on this pack and I wasn't ready to be a bad luck.
But this was real!!! My dad was here in person and I had to act fast.
