I stood there restless, waiting for him to walk forward, I could suddenly grab his scent. I instantly felt a soft hand on my shoulder, and I slowly turned my head to see the most handsome man ever. His eyes were charming like that of lady, blue and sweet. His face, glowed and his lips were obviously calling for a soft touch with mine.
I never expected to see a hot guy, his appearance, had no connection to his bold and possessive voice. He looked harmless like a dove and the urge to cuddle, began building in me. I could feel my heart beating faster, as he stood in front of me, locking eyes with me, it felt like heaven on earth.
"What, Is your name?" He caressed my chin and smiled.
I was dumbfounded. I could feel the heat deep down inside me. It was like I needed him to cool it down. His warm presence made me feel special and I couldn't stop but imagine things, lots of things.
"Pella. My name is Pella." I finally replied, focusing on his lips. I was in deep lust.
"Pella." He voiced, and i gave a nod.
He smiled at me, making me feel so much joy from the inside. He left my chin and turned around to face them.
"I will keep her dad. At least for now, until we are sure about her and sure its safe for her to go back." Standing tall, he folded both hands behind his back, and I couldn't stop but admire his broad shoulders.
"Are you sure about this, son?"
Son? Wait, could this be Lucky's brother?
The one who saved me and cleaned me up? oh my God! I felt ashamed to be standing with him, he must have seen it all. But on second thought, it would have felt nice having to feel his hands around me now that am conscious.
Come-on pella, what are you doing? You are not supposed to feel this way for a total stranger. At least not now. You should be angry at the moon goddess for treating you this way. But if this was her way of compensating you for all she did, then I would gladly accept.
"Yes father. We found her injured, and I decided we bring her here for treatment. I know it could be a bad idea, but pella is my responsibility now, until she gets better."
Wow, I never imagined I would be anyone's responsibility. Hearing that made me smile and I noticed Lucky smiling as well.
"My prince. This is not a healthy decision! She might be a spy or even a theif." One of the elder said.
"Then let me worry about that. As the alpha of this pack and heir to the throne. It is my duty to keep safe, everyone and anyone within our kingdom and border. And luckily, pella is one of those."
I noticed the whole area became silent as no one could counter his words, not even his father could voice a thing. A man with such power, and honor deserves to be respected.
He turned to me and folded both arms.
"In order to keep a close eye on you, pella. You will serve as my assistant for the time being. Working with me on a daily basis, both in my office and here In the kingdom."
'An assistant is a great way to get around you sir. But wait, what would I be doing?' I thought in my head trying to hide my excitement.
"Seems you woke up late. Lucky, will show you to the room I prepared for you. Tomorrow, we continue, have a good rest." He said, bowed to his father, and left immediately.
Lucky bowed to her father as well, and I did the same. She took me out the room and into an elevator to the 10th floor. We alighted the elevator and lucky brought me to my room.
"This will be your room for now, pending when he wants you to change it." Lucky uttered and gave me the room key.
The room was well furnished, and had a good ventilation. He really prepared this, for me? It was nothing compared to my room back at Gwendore, but I had no choice than to stay here. I am grateful to the moon goddess for turning things this way.
"Thank you, lucky." I took the keys from her.
She turned, and was about to leave when I asked a disturbing question.
"Why did you help me?" I gave a demented look.
"Oh I didn't. My brother took you from the river and brought you here." She replied.
"No. I, I didn't mean that. At the trial, with your father, why did you speak to my favor?" I mentioned to her.
"I am a woman like you, pella. And for some reason, I could feel the pain in you, you must have gone through a lot to be here. And, apart from that, I also try to fit myself into other people's shoes." She chuckled briefly.
I smiled, she must be an intelligent woman to do that. Not everyone would want to fit into other people's shoes.
"Thank you." I felt loved already.
"You welcome. Oh, and one more thing." She came closer, trying to whisper something to me.
"Things, are not the way you might seem to see them. So I will advice you, to be careful, always watch your back, and don't force your emotions." She whispered, and left the room.
Her advice was a bit confusing, but I think I grabbed something there. I immediately went to shower, the water gave me back 75% of my energy. After that, I went straight to bed, in my underwear and a bra. It has been a long day, so many things have happened.
I might be trying to forget them, but no matter how hard I try, I won't forget my Ceci, my mom, and the pain that I have brought to her.
I really wish I could turn back the hands of time and make everything right again.
I only need some time mom, I will come back and make amends. That, I promise you, stay alive for me.
With so much thoughts on my mind, I had a slight headache, but soon began to doze off, until I was out.
