The bright sun peeping through the curtains was the only thing that could take her off her bed when she is in her own world, sleeping like a beautiful sleeping princess.
The kisses from the sun showering on her face only took a few seconds to her eyes as they became wide open and they tried to adjust to the scene before them.
"Where am I? Did I change my room? Why is the ceiling so plain and looks like an old witch's room?" Alexia asked herself before she sat up and looked around.
Not only was the ceiling different, so was the room!
She was about to scream when reality hit her hard. Phew, she was manipulated by her wicked sister and her evil mother to get married to an heir to the throne who is also annoying.
Annoying son of the rich who fakes his own ailment and disability. Was it fun for him!
Why on earth would he do such a thing? He is such a secretive fellow and to top it, a very annoying one.
Alexia stood up from the bed, adjusted her nightgown and stretched a little. She walked to the other side of the bed and opened the curtains gently.
The sight before her made her forget all her resentment towards those that betrayed her and even the annoying heir to the throne who seems so stupid.
She loved the sight before her and everything made her raging heart calm down. Everything was a great sight to behold. Nothing's hits differently like the sight of nature blooming right before your eyes.
She smiled wholeheartedly and that was the only courage she needed to fight the day's battle and here she goes!
She took her bath and dressed up averagely and especially not to make them feel she was trying to impress them at all. She did all she had to do and she did her worst job at her hair do.
Alexis has one of the finest hair and her mode of making it more pretty was divine but today, she did a rough packing which she knew might later tell on her hair but she didn't care less.
This operation is to conceal your beauty and strength till you can fight back.
She knew the morning breakfast must have passed as she was not an early morning person and she only had to keep on her toes when her family traditions wanted them to gather at the table for breakfast every morning.
But now!
This is freedom and the taste of freedom is nothing but divine.
She opened the door and was shocked to see a lady standing in front of her door.
"Good morning, miss Alexis!" The lady said and bowed and I was confused. "Morning, for how long have you been waiting for me right here and why did you not knock?" Alexis asked and the lady didn't look up.
" Miss, it's only my obligation to be here till you are awake and show you down to the dining table. The morning meal has been observed by everyone and young master Alexander said we should not wake you up."
The lady reported and Alexis was shocked. "Next time, knock, don't just stand here, your leg must hurt or perhaps be numb. Try to make it better!" Alexis said and smiled at the lady and the lady tried her best to keep her own part of the smile.
Alexis was a little taken back by Alexander's order to not wake her up, but the fact that he did that just so he wouldn't see her face was so irritating.
Arrogant bastard!
Alexis thought within her and without a second passing. Someone sneezed and the two ladies looked up only to see Alexander coming over in his controlled wheelchair and very straight face.
Alexis was blank-minded when she saw him, as he looked like a god sculpture.
The young maid quickly bowed as soon as he saw the alpha, but Alexis stood still and Alexander controlled his wheelchair still, passing in front of them and stopped a distance with his back facing them.
"It will be useless of you to keep waking up here like a queen that has no business for every day! I thought you were thought better in the storm pack but it seems I thought highly of your clan.
Or is that the storm pack princess is just lazy?" He said and Alexis was pissed. She almost ran up to him to kick him but she swallowed her anger.
"I can see that the shadow pack prince is so merciful and gracious that he didn't allow me to be disturbed. I was sent to be a luna and unfortunately, I was rejected.
Nevertheless, I won't hurry like a maid on duty or like a queen who is meant to attend to occasions. I was sent here based on you and my father's contract.
Not with my wish in the first place, so I won't disturb myself with either your affair or my father's. Reign forever, prince Alexander." Alexis said and adjusted her composition and faced the lady before her.
"Miss, can you show me down to the dining table?" Alexis said, and the maid hurried and led her away. Alexander was quite taken back at how she didn't keep her words within.
She is so fierce and fearless, she is like a wild cat, and according to researchers, he is not sure if she is truly the second daughter of the alpha of the storm pack that was known to be calm and collected.
She is hopeless and doesn't have words of her own. The motherless daughter of the alpha is now this bold?
He silently hopes she is not as useless as what he was told about her. He controlled rolling his wheelchair and straight to his study which was on the same wing with Alexis' room.
"Santiago Mateo!" Alexander called immediately. He shut the doors of his study and rode his wheelchair to the far end of the study and pressed a button to activate the soundproof locks of the room.
He pulled out the drawer and took out his cigar and lit it and puffed it a little and walked to the shelf and this time he was frustrated that his guidance had ignored him.
"Santiago Mateo!" He repeated and this time his shadow was woken up and Santiago looked nothing like him. It was a completely different man entirely.
He was the same height as Alexander, but instead he had a full was grown bear and he was so muscular and his dress showed he was a warrior and a very strong one.
His aura was lazy at the moment but it was sharper than any warrior's aura and the only one who could match up to his aura was definitely his master, Alexander.
"Sometimes I wonder if the gods may have made the right choice or not by sending me to you!" Santiago said and sat down calmly as he was boiling with anger.
"I am your elder, I deserve to be summoned with respect and not with a cigar in your mouth and a foul disrespectful mood. I spent my whole life alone with a lame guidance and I didn't complain. You, kid, don't know what you have got with me by your side.
Always puffing cigars to clear your cloudy mood! Who does that?" Santiago said as he closed his eyes and rested his back. "I think I might have learnt it from my guidance, he loves his stick cigar in his days that he doesn't even go to war or attend events without it"
Alexander said nonchalantly, without bothering that he was sitting there, resting. "You have such a big mouth!" Santiago said and
Santiago is an ancient ruler of the shadow pack and he was the most feared and the most dangerous. He was very cunning with plans and quick to detect any error or malfunction on the land.
He lived for three thousand years with love and war imprinted in his heart. His name alone feared their opponent even before they realized that he was long gone to his grave.
When Alexander came of age, a guidance wolf showed up for him and his wolf. Fortunately for him, Santiago was the spirit and ruler that was summoned.
Upon showing up in Alexander's life, Santiago was mad at the gods because he felt he was brought out of his grave and in his wolf cultivation realm to tutor a child.
He found it insulting and annoying that he had to train a child who was considered hopeless. Alexander had just lost his father and his throne to his uncle, alpha dean.
Santiago expected him to be summoned by a mighty warrior or a very great alpha and not Alexander the weak. Santiago protested for a while but he could not change his fate.
Sowly, Santiago began to teach Alexander Snow how to unlock his inner potential and a lot of power in him. Slowly after training Alexander a lot, Santiago was shocked to see that the weak little prince he met the other time was just a box of power.
And the most important thing is unlocking them. He was amazed by his powers and how cunny he was. Santiago then realized the reason he was assigned to a great man like Alexander.
"The agreement with the storm pack didn't go as planned. The daughter they sent is not the one they promised and it's a breach of contract, but nevertheless, the second one they sent is useless.
She was rejected but she didn't leave. I thought she would have cried back home to her family and by now there will be warbetween the two lands and we could easily penetrate and put uncle dean on his knees.
She was said to be dumb and useless, but even worse, she is rude, fierce and useless. She just foiled my whole plan. She didn't really seem sad that I rejected or the fact that her people sold her out.
She is so cool with it and acts like this is an inn for her to do whatever she pleases." Alexander said and Santiago nodded.
"You have never complained about any one before!" Santiago said and Alexander sat down. " No, I am not complaining about her, I am complaining about how stupid this is. She just foiled my plans. How do we do this?" Alexander said frustrated by everything happening.
"Do you know what is greater than any warrior?" Santiago asked, and Alexander looked away as it was already the usual saying of Santiago to say the statement.
"It's fate. And when there is a will, there is always a way. We are not dead yet, so there will surely be another situation that will bring the alpha dean to his knees.
Keep your hopes up and keep training your men. Their time will definitely come sooner and about the lady, I was not good with women am. I have no advice for you!" Santiago said and Alexander looked at him.
"How did you get to be the most romantic royal couple that live if you are really no good with women?" Alexander asked and Santiago laughed.
" My wife was a beautiful lady who came to play music for the warriors after each battle and she never once caught my attention until a group of rogues attacked us and she didn't chicken out like other ladies, she fought side by side with us and she was so beautiful in my eyes like I just saw her.
She was so swift with knives and when she killed a man with a sword, she handled the man sword like a pro. I was not sure she was not a warrior.
She fought beautifully and l was enticed. I got wounded and after the fight, she offered to help with my wound and I asked her how she did it! She just kept smiling and each smile was printed in my memory.
I invited her to the castle and she came with her team thinking I wanted her to sing again, but I was so dumb, I did not know how to deal with her being like that, I went along with the flow until my mother realized.
She asked me and I told her everything that happened. My mother also knocked me and she helped me invite her alone to the castle and sent her on my way to help me and that was it.
We kept seeing each other until I married her. She became my Luna and things went so smooth. We fought side by side and she was the perfect one for me.
It makes me wonder when you will have your perfect one? Trust me, two heads are better than one and I am sure you won't want that woman you are in disguise with to advance to being your Luna.
I can feel she is not right for you. I can't say why but I can feel she has a very funny character." Santiago said and Alexander returned to his wheelchair.
He burned his cigar and looked at Santiago. It's time to go for the official singing of the business transaction with Jude. He should be here any minute!" Alexander said and Santiago frowned.
"you sound happily when you talk about Jude than me, he is more important?" Santiago said and Alexander wheeled to his side. "He is more physical!" Alexander said and chuckled.
"Into the shadows, rest well till you hear the summon again!" Alexander said immediately before Santiago could protest. Immediately, Santiago vanished into Alexander's shadow and Alexander pressed the button and the door opened.
He strolled toward the hall majestically but unfortunately, he walked into his chosen mate and his mood was a little sour. Deep down both of them. They did not get engaged because of love or affection or any feelings. They are getting together for different reasons.
Alexander did not see anything in her but she was available and always close by and a perfect substitute for a wife since he was planning on making the contract princess of the storm pack angry.
Alexander did not even know a lot about her and he sure did not have feelings for this woman but respected and seeing her as a female who is under his responsibility.
He sure hopes that something might spring up along the line or maybe not.
"Alexander, you just vanished, I have been looking for you!" She said and Alexander rested his back and looked up at her face. Chloe tucked her hair behind her hair and pouted like a child.
"I was in my studies, what did you need me for? And there are phone, if you were really looking for me, the first thing you should do was to call me!"
Alexander replied calmly and soft to the ears, but his words were harsh to the heart.
"Alexander, I am your woman. You don't have to be harsh at me! I was concerned about you and I left my phone in the room. What if you needed my help or you go missing?" Chloe said and Alexander frowned deeply as his brows tighten alongside, while Chloe's heart, as she knew she had said something wrong.
"Go missing in my house. I have lived here long enough to draw a diagram all the path while blindfolded. And help me. I have been living fine for the past few years without needing help. Did I suddenly go lame during the night that I need your help?" Alexander said, and Chloe was shocked.
She stammered a little before getting herself back on track.
"I am sorry, I just wanted to act perfectly like your woman." Chloe said and Alexander sat up and didn't bother to look at her face. "Chloe, know your place!" Alexander said and strolled away.
Chloe stamped her feet after checking that Alexander was out of the hall and obviously couldn't see her anymore. "This is freaking annoying, I can't keep this up. Submitting myself to a freaking handicapp. He is so rude and arrogant even when he doesn't hold any power anymore, too, his power is with his uncle and I don't understand why my father did not allow me be with him instead.
I agree with everything within me. I wish I could strangle him when he said I should know my place!" Chloe said and stamped his feet on the ground again and again.
She was so pissed that she forgot that she was actually in Alexis' wing of the house.
"To what do I owe a royal visit from the prince's mate?" Alexis said from her distance as she walked toward Chloe who was still pissed off at the moment.
"You!" Chloe said with shock on her face and in a twinkle of an eye, it changed into disgust. "I am surprised to see that the prince's mate is shocked to see me in my own wing of the castle. I think the mate is lost in her prince's house."
Alexis said with a smile and Chloe became more angry to think of the fact that she also has a wing in the castle.
"What is Alexander doing in this wing with you?" Chloe asked angrily and Alexis laughed. "Hmm, what a question! What is Alexander, my proposed mate? What was he doing in my wing? I guess you know the answer, so, are you jealous?" Alexis said, and Chloe began to foam in anger as she thought of what might have happened.
Is that why Alexander was harsh on her? It is not possible!" Chloe thought and looked at Alexis all over and compared their appearance and had a denial in her heart that Alexander could have anything to do with alexis.
" You wish!" Chloe said and Alexis chuckled. Dan walked toward her. " Don't be in denial, Chloe, he is mine to pursue and the earlier you realize what is going on. The better you fight for what you think you deserve" Alexis said slowly and every word was sinking into Chloe's heart.
Chloe began to shiver in anger and she rolled her eyes at Alexis and angrily walked out on Alexis. She hasten her steps as she held Alexis and laughed loudly behind her and the echo was making it louder.
Alexis happily walked into her room as she was glad that her words could affect Chloe so much. She changed her outfit to an ordinary top and Jean and she picked up her usual school bag and she packed her hair properly this time and she happily matched down to the dinning and easily she sighted the butler and she walked up to him.
Immediately the butler saw her, he watched towards her as well.
"Miss Alexis, how many have I helped you today?" The butler said and Alexis smiled. "Sir, don't call me miss Alexis, it's simply Alexis, I am like your daughter, and I will love to go out and see the kingdom!" Alexis said and the bulter was shocked for two reasons and for all her words.
" What!"
