Except You, Loiret

1212 Words
Zayne alighted from the car, the door held open by a burly man dressed in all black suit. Zayne was clad in a black shirt and black tailored trousers and a deep frown that seemed to be the makeup of his handsome face. He stepped down from the car, his gaze landing on the people waiting for him. "Welcome back, your majesty." they all greeted. While some of them were brave enough to speak without their voice quivering, some of them had failed woefully at that and had their voice quivering at the presence of the Devil King. "You are most welcome back, King Zayne." Fiona stepped forward just as Zayne took steps forward, ignoring the usual greetings. "You must be so tired, your majesty. I already made sure that dinner has been prepared in the best way possible and I also ensured that..." "Fiona." Zayne's deep voice cut Fiona off. "I want my peace for now." Zayne added and walked into the glorious palace. As soon as he stepped in, his chilly aura seemed to fall upon the place and the place went cold but Fiona still went after him, her two maids trudging after her. "Your Majesty, I know you are very tired right now and you must want a good and relaxing bath to relax and that's why I prepared a bath for..." "Fiona." Zayne called, his voice more stern this time and Fiona shut up, her fingers finding her brown hair and twirling it. "I am just caring for my brother in law, can't I?" She asked in a soft voice. Fiona was the mate and wife of Adrian, Zayne's elder step brother who was now dead. "You get back to your chambers, Lady Fiona. I am too tired to go through all of this tonight." Zayne said, his cold gaze landing on her and making Fiona shiver lightly. He walked away, leaving Fiona grumbling lightly. She wanted Zayne and she had made it quite obvious to him that she wanted him. She could never understand why he wasn't showing much interest in her. Zayne would f**k several other girls but not once had he touched her and she knew it couldn't be because of morals, King Zayne was the last person in the world to care about morals. Fiona sighed with a forlorn look on her face. She was sure she looked beautiful too and she had even spent extra time on her makeup tonight to look good for Zayne and yet he had looked at her like he was looking at one of his ministers. Maybe a little less deadly but Fiona wanted more. She had done a lot for Zayne too and she knew that was why Zayne could not discard her so easily. "I want you, King Zayne. I want to be by your side as queen and I will be just that, soon enough." * "Loiretta!" Loiretta heard Amanda call and she quickly shot up from her seat. She was now clothed in a maid's uniform. A black shirt and black, cute short skirt. Seeing maids wearing black all around the palace just helped increase the dark aura around the palace. Loiretta was just about getting to the door when if was pulled open by Amanda herself. Compared to the friendly look that had been on her face the first time they met, Amanda now had a stern look on her face. "His Majesty, The Devil King is back." She said and Loiretta gulped down. Just at the mention of his name, she could recall several bloody sight. A devil, he indeed was. "And he will be taking a bath, of course there has to be maids to serve him and you will be one of them." she said to her and Loiretta's eyes widened a bit, her heart picking up pace. "Like I said earlier, just die tonight. Make a mistake, even the tiniest mistake and pray he is in a good mood so he just finishes you off at once without torturing you. I am doing you a favour so now get out." Loiretta barely had time to process what was going on but she walked out of the room quickly and Amanda stepped out too, shutting the door. "Get down the stairs and join the three other maids." Amanda added and Loiretta quickly got herself moving with only one thought in her head. Was she going to do as Amanda had advised? Would it be better to just die tonight than go through hell in the hands of the Devil King? She gulped down as she reached the other three maids and took her position beside the one standing alone. Without a word, they began moving, each carrying a tray in their hands. Loiretta knew nothing about the ways of the lycans or the ways of the maids here and she wanted to ask the lady beside her if she wasn't supposed to be carrying a tray too but she held back from asking. Loiretta reasoned that it would be better to die ignorantly. If she knew nothing about how to serve the King, she would definitely make a mistake and then be killed. In that way, she would have put an end to the cursed life the moon goddess had given to her and still she would have done something so great and saving Alpha Daniel and the Pack in her lifetime. She forced out a sad smile as she concluded that she was really going to die tonight. It was the best thing for her to do and so she walked on with the others until they got into the main palace and stopped in front of a huge door. They were guards by the door. Tough looking guards. Loiretta looked at the beautiful door design while one of the maids spoke to the guards. It took only a few seconds for the door to be thrown open and they all moved in. Loiretta was stunned immediately she stepped in. So stunned that she stopped in her tracks to look at the place she had just found herself in. A room at least four times bigger than Alpha Daniel's room and at least eight times grander was what she was standing in and this room wasn't even the King's room! It was just a hot tub room and the beautiful scent that was there was more than enough to attract plenty of butterflies. Loiretta had no idea how many seconds she spent standing there, lost in the beauty of the room until she heard that deep voice, dripping with authority and cruelty. "You all get out." He ordered and the maids swiftly dropped the trays in their hands. Loiretta shook back into reality and not even taking a glance at the man who was in the hot bath tub, she turned on her heel. "Except you, Loiret" She stiffened. Was it here already? Was death here? Had she irked him by standing still and admiring the room when she should have greeted him like the others had done? Death was finally here. Loiret was sure about that as the three maids walked out of the room, leaving just her and the Devil King in the hot tub room.
