HALF TRUTH

1838 Words
MONA Our trip to California was awkward, because I refused talking to King Damon after what we did at his club. I wasn't going to fall into his s****l traps anymore, he's done enough damage to my emotions already. I feel confused about the whole romance stuff. From what everyone knows he never goes to a woman twice but what I don't understand was why he keeps wanting to be around me, was a good s****l prey perhaps?." This whole silence between us was getting very awkward, its not like I can refuse going on the trip with him. No matter what happened, he is still my boss so I can't mess up things for personal reasons. It was my first time being on a private jet and the King's jet looked very luxurious and if I wasn't feeling so awkward around him, I would have enjoyed the comfort of the jet and maybe get a good sleep before we land. But relaxation was far fetched from me specially when he kept stealing glances at me which made me the more uncomfortable and nervous. "You don't seem comfortable, you don't like my jet perhaps?". Damon's husky voice send thrills down my spine, how long have he not spoken to me, since we left the company to the airport. "Uh...am okay" I replied still feeling very nervous, I avoided making eye contact with him for I don't know what feelings might build up inside of me. After two hours, we successfully landed in California where a personal SUV waited for us. They King must be a lover of this brand of car for it was the only car used in and outside Damon's space. The driver was an elderly looking guy but very well built too, he didn't hesitate to bow in respect to Damon. Sometimes I forget the fact that he was a King because he was transparent, maybe only to me because everyone I know gives him the maximum respect even though he doesn't enjoy too much salutations. We finally arrived at an exclusive five star hotel. "Wow this place smells filthy rich... I bet only the likes of King Damon would be seen around here, the bright colours are blinding, even the building was massive with very fine structures. When we arrived at the entrance to the hotel, the guards and some some work staffs mainly ladies approached us and they all bowed to King Damon. "You are very welcome your majesty, I will be very diligent in serving you better this time." said the a Lady in a red short dress which barely covered her thighs and cleavage. Her heels were so high that it was very difficult for her to walk properly. From my observation, they must have known before hand about the King's arrival and so they were fully prepared to serve him. The lady in a red dress doesn't seem to be the only woman in an unfit wear but also the rest of the other ladies. They all smiled at him cheerfully, some of which were giving him "I'm available for you any time" look. I felt so sick in my stomach at what I was seeing, some ladies can't really keep themselves under control at the sight of a rich and handsome guy. I can't believe I am one of them despite how much I deny the fact, not the money though but maybe his handsomeness is to blame. He must be a regular at this hotel and from the look of things most of these ladies must have been bedded by him if not all. "Damn this prick of a king!" I shouldn't be so angry at him, whatever he does is non of my business anyways so why should I care who he slept with, it's not like am jealous or something. "Please make two rooms available for me and my...partner" Damon said eyeing me. The moment he said partners all the ladies looked at me like I was some predator, some stared in disgust others in curiosity. "Damn him again!, why can't he just find a suitable word to use rather than partner, he sure knows how to make me feel very uncomfortable." We were each given a room but unfortunately for me, his was directly besides mine. When I got into my room I was so overwhelmed by how big and luxurious the sitting room was,it was actually a suite with two rooms, a kitchen and a bathroom, never in my wildest dreams have I ever imagined I will someday be in such comfort. The chairs are well furnished in white with a touch of gold at the sides which gave it a more luxurious look. The paintings on the walls looked so real and captivating. One of the painting caught my attention, which was a in power with an animal that looked so huge, a dog....or a wolf perhaps. The bed in the two rooms was more than a king sized with layers to which you can climb unto, you can choose to sleep on the lowest step or the highest. The TV was stationed above the ceiling, you can use a remote to control the position to which you want to view it from. This was all surprising and new to me. So this was what the world of the rich looked like. I smiled inwardly. I quickly ran to the bathroom to check it out and to my greatest shock, the bathroom was no different from the rooms. A huge bathtub which was very well decorated with scented flowers. Wow.... I feel like I'm in paradise already. The kitchen itself was very spacious with all kitchen utensils well placed in the correct order. After touring round the suite I became so exhausted and so I headed to take a bath. I dipped myself for almost an hour enjoying the smell of scented roses. Suddenly my door bell rang, who could that be at this hour of the night, I wondered. Could it be a room service call, but it was quite late for that. I quickly dressed in a white robe with my hair tied up in a white towel as well. I went to the door and spied through the invisible door hole to see who it was and to my greatest shock, King Damon stood outside my door. My heartbeat raced pumping like it was going to pop out my chest any minute. Why was he at my door at this time?. The door bell rang again startling me. I composed myself, drew in a deep breath before opening the door to him. "What can I do for you your Majesty?". Damon looked at me, his eyes travelled down from my head down to my feet in pure lust. Just what was he looking at i wondered. I took the medium to look at myself only to find my robe loose and exposing my cleavages to a maximum, I immediately covered myself with my robe fastening the belt around my waist as quickly as possible. Damon still won't stop staring at me, he licked his lips making me feel the more uncomfortable. His gaze held pure list and desire. For some reason, the desire I thought I saw in his eyes was replaced by a stern look. "Can I come in?" "Like seriously?".... can't he see how uncomfortable he was making me feel?. "It won't take long I promise" he said in a calm voice that sent some electric feeling down my spine. I left the door frame ushering him in. Damon looked around my suite like it was different from his or maybe his was different. "Are you comfortable being here Mona?" Was that even a question to ask. I feel more than comfortable here but I didn't say it out loud. "The place is nice" was what I managed to say. Damon fell silent, staring at me like he wanted to say something but then again he just stared into my eyes. "Is there something I can help you with your Majesty?" I said breaking the silence. He walked slowly to me and my heart clenched, what is he trying to do?. "I'm a werewolf Mona" Damon blurted out. "What!" I panicked, was he drunk or something. He took another step towards me again and I moved backwards. "I mean it Mona, I'm a werewolf Alpha and you are my mate" He said in all seriousness. " "And...you want me to believe that?" Damon let out a sigh, the next thing I saw was that his eyes changed brown it's original brown colour to that of green. "Holy s**t!, how the hell did you do that?" "That's because I am a wolf" he said still looking at me with a serious face. I didn't know when I walked closer to him, my eyes not leaving his, those eyes are amazingly beautiful. "Can you.. make the colours change again" Damon looked at me weirdly. He made it glow again from brown to green again. Then a memory struck me, that night I dreamt about him and his eyes changing colours. Who would have thought it was real...wait does it mean the dream was also real?. I panicked. "Did you ever kiss me while i was asleep at your castle?" I asked curiously. Damon seemed to have been found out because his expression suddenly changed to that of shock. "How did you know?" Yea right.. I didn't say a word about the dream I had. So strange I could dream about it but does that really mean he wasn't human as he said. No way.... "Do you believe me now?". No way that's a lot to take in, I must be dreaming. I curiously asked him about how he came about being a werewolf and he told me everything I needed to know about werewolves. We talked into the middle of the night but I didn't care because I was so much interested to know about the werewolves. I thought they only existed in movies, never would I have thought they were real. My Grandma was right when she said werewolves existed but does that mean my grandma has seen a werewolf before?, I wondered. "Does it mean everyone around you are werewolves?" I asked out of curiosity. "Not all, there are humans around us too. We don't discriminate the humans even though some werewolves see them as weaker beings. There are laid down rules and punishment for any werewolf who harm a human. Damon looked so admirable when he talked this way. I quickly shook my head, no..I can't possibly be falling for him. I raised my head to look at him and then I was lost in his eyes. Damon moved closer to me in the couch where we sat, his gaze lingered on my lips and I did not need a soothsayer to tell me he was going to kiss me. I quickly moved backwards evading his kiss.
