CLAIMED BY THE LYCAN

Episode 9

Liza’s POV

“Not so hard Hunter.” I could hear a voice say out loud. “She is a guest and too fragile to be dropped that hard.” The person added scolding the man who had dropped me on the floor. Hearing that relieved me alot and I knew I wasn't being sold off to a slave master.

I groaned in pain and annoyance about being dropped on the floor like some piece of trash. I struggled a bit and noticed there were no constraints on the sack which felt like a huge relief. I struggled and after a few seconds, I was able to come out of the sack.

When I got up, I saw a very hefty guard and another smiling man both standing and looking at me. Their stares felt uncomfortable but I was happy to still be alive and unharmed, except for the pain I felt from bruising my elbow.

“Hello, young lady. I am Arthur and I am sure you are Liza.” The man introduced himself with a smile and my eyes instantly went wide from knowing that I am finally in the house of my helper, or should I say kingdom.

“I am actually deeply sorry about his behavior, please forgive us.” He apologized further and I smiled a little with nods.

I least expected such nice treatment when I got here because of who I am, I got used to being treated as such.

“I have got a room prepared for you and dinner will be served in your room too. Must have been a stressful journey so I hope you get enough rest and then we can talk better tomorrow.” He said, still smiling.

“Thank you very much for your hospitality.” I said in appreciation.

“Come closer,” he said to me , which I obeyed without delay. “I don't know what it is with you and Ryder or what happened but my best advice to you is to keep your mouth shut about your life. When I say your life, I mean your life from yesterday. Live like your life started today. I will do my best to protect you, just like I have promised Ryder but to help you, you got to yep yourself too.” He did to me in a whisper.

I nodded immediately because that would not be a problem. I have lived my life in so much agony and now that I found a little bit of peace and a chance to be treated like a normal person, I don't plan on being a blabbermouth to ruin it.

“She will take you to your room that has been prepared for you, a hot bath too. Your dinner will also be served in your room for tonight. Other meals will be with me in the dinning. feel free to ask questions if you have any.” He said to me and I nodded.

I thanked him again and hurriedly followed the maid he had assigned to me. Everything felt like a dream I never wish to wake up from.

As we entered the room, my mouth went agape upon seeing how pretty the room is.like I mean, I have never had a room so pretty to myself other than clean for others.

“Is this room really mine?” I asked the maid to be sure she had not brought me to the wrong room.

“Yes, Alpha Arthur said to decorate your room to your taste. We weren't sure what your taste would be so we decided to use a general feminine design.” The maid explained but I must admit I wasn't interested in half of what she said. She already confirmed it is my room and I was too elated to even pay attention.

The room was adorned with lilac flowers and was sprayed with a fragrance that smelled like lavender.

These are things used for thebrooms of nobles and now I get to have a taste of it. Deep down inside me, I felt like jumping on the bed because it looks so soft but I had to act orderly around the maid.

Alpha Arthur had said that she would be my guide and for me, I have to act appropriately to shadow the part of me that should be buried.

“Are you ready for a bath?” She asked softly and I nodded immediately.

I Look like s**t so I definitely needed a bath before I thought of food. Fun fact is that I had no thoughts about food, what I had before my eyes satisfied me.

“Your bath is ready miLady” the maid said to me.

Hold up, did she just call me miLady? I asked myself because it felt so overwhelming. A tingling feeling coursed through my veins and I could feel my nerves tickle in excitement.

Now I see why Alpha Arthur advised me to keep my identity hidden, this was part of it.

He had everything planned out such that they have no idea I am just a lowly cursed rogue.

I got undressed and went into the bath. She helped me scrub my body and it felt so refreshing. I could live this life everyday and forget about my last life. But sadly, I couldn't. I still have a curse hanging around my neck.

The water smelt like strawberries and the bathing soap felt so soft and smooth. She washed my hair thoroughly and ensured everybody bit dirt was taken out.

In a few minutes, I was done taking my bath and she helped me with a towel which I tried and walked into the room.

I looked around and I saw a table at the corner, it has everything I need on it. Arthur must have really prepared for my coming indeed.

I walked over there and sat in the chair facing the table that had a mirror on it. Seeing a reflection of myself felt good. She helped me get dressed and also styled my hair. I could not believe how pretty I look in the mirror. It felt like a reflection of someone else.

When we got done , she excused herself to bring my food for me while I waited in the room. I took my time to look around and get myself used to the surroundings. I constantly reminded myself that this is my reality Andi needed to live it no matter how short it is going to be. As I thought about it all, I also tried to be positive minded and rid myself of negativity.
