Alpha Arthur's Exclusive Bride

CHAPTER FOUR

Freya's POV

"You ain't supposed to leave your hair wet after a shower" someone said, appearing outta nowhere. He must have climbed through the walls to get into my room. I didn't have to turn back to see who it was. I knew fully well that he would find his way here. It was none other person than Flarry.

Turning to see him I couldn't contain my excitement. I immediately hugged him "Earlier, you scared the s**t out of me. I thought you left me for good" I said pouting in anger.

"Silly girl," He said with a smile, as he kissed my lips. Flarry has been in the pages of my life for a long time. Many members of our union thought I felt nothing but gratitude and a brotherly love for him, this wasn't the case. I loved Flarry so much and even my wolf was content with that. " Sit, let me dry your hair," he said.

Sitting happily, he dried my hair and combed it. Running his fingers through my scalp I chuckled. " You've taken your bath for over half an hour, I wondered why you left your hair wet. You could catch a cold, and we both know how terrible you get when you catch a cold" he continued.

"I was waiting for you," I said warmly. My room was located on the top floor, no one would ever think of someone sneaking in. Not even the palace guard would detect a thing, we weren't assassins just for name sake. We were trained to move as fast as the wind and leave no trace.

"How did it go?" Flarry said, packing my hair into a ponytail.

" They were startled when I said my name," I scoffed. Suddenly I realized something very important. " You're cold," I said, looking at him with a frown. I was too carried away that it took time to recall hugging a cold body.

"You don't have to worry about me" he said

"This wasn't the deal, you had said you would take good care of yourself while I do the same" I said in an angry tune, I wasn't going to buy such an excuse.

" You never left?" I said looking him straight in the eye, this was the only explanation. We had both been drenched in the rain, and I recalled him giving me his jacket. Seeing how silent he was, I was on the verge of tears.

" You don't have to cry. I had to make sure you were safe. They've tried to kill you once before, they could try to do it now" He explained reaching out his hands he wiped off the tears on my face.

"Go take a shower" I instructed him pointing at the washroom. He had no choice than to go to the washroom. Now I have a bigger problem, if he does take a shower. There would be any spare clothes he could change into. And I couldn't go to Arthur to request such from him.

Suddenly I had an idea, Flarry had the same physique as my father. "If I could find my way to the basement, I could get some clothes for him" I muttered.

The basement was a secret room. Its entrance was located somewhere in the guest room. And that was the room Elora was in. All the memories I had were my childhood memories, the basement was more like my father's workshop. A very important piece, "I could even get some spare clothes for myself as well" I muttered.

Now I had to find my way to Elora's room. I couldn't let Flarry know this, so I had to be back before he was done. Using light steps I sneaked out of my room heading towards Elora's.

Opening the door slightly, I saw the spoiled princess In Front of the mirror in her night wares combing her hair. She must be in a good mood,she was humming happily. First of all I didn't see her as an enemy, but she could be if she gets in my way.

I made a squeaking sound using the door to draw her attention."Who's there?" She said, turning towards the door. I didn't want to risk being seen by her through the mirror.

The sound made her leave the spot, she moved towards the door. Getting the chance I wanted, I swiped my hands sending tiny needles into her neck. Immediately she lost consciousness.

I got into the room, "what a girlish design, too much pink" I complained. Elora is a beautiful name, it means Sun Ray. But all you do is wine and dine in pink, not sunlight." I said looking at the unconscious princess.

The secret entrance to the basement was beneath the king size bed. Which was so heavy, I had to push it without alerting anyone.

After changing the direction of the bed, I got into the basement. This brought several memories, I had no time. Walking towards the wardrobe, I packed my mother's clothes and some of my dad's too and headed out.

I pushed the bed to its original position and placed Elora on the bed and tucked her in.

"Elora , can I come in?" I said Luna Alia's voice from outside the room, she was knocking. I was startled. "Elora.. " she said, pushing the door slightly. "Elora darling, I'm coming in" she said about getting into the room fully.

I can't be caught, I had no choice than to squeeze myself under the bed. Holding my breath. Elora was nothing but a vegetable now, the drug would only fade after eight hours.

I could hear Luna Alia's steps as she approached the bed. She wasn't alone, looking closely I saw a man's shoe. I couldn't tell if it was Arthur or someone else.

"She's already asleep" The bed made a squeak sound, this meant someone had sat on it. Luna Alia sat beside Elora. " Darling, that girl can never be the Luna of this pack. You would have to give birth to the Future Heir of the pack, as my son's concubine. That way that girl would be dethroned" she said.

I could imagine, she must be looking at her lovingly hoping that Elora would hear her every word. Too bad, she came at the wrong time.

"We shouldn't rush things first, it could all be a coincidence. I had killed Dwane Luke and his Luna by myself. And I killed their only daughter as well. I didn't leave any of their relatives alive, they are all dead" Alpha Thor said proudly

Hearing this I clenched my fist in anger, I felt like killing them on the spot. They had taken away my family. If I was alive and well then who had died in my place? I wondered.

"Just as she said, her family would come here, we are yet to know who she really is and her identity " Alpha Thor continued

"That's true, we could make use of her power and influence making our son stronger. Then we can get rid of her, Elora is the idle child we want for our son" came Luna Alia's voice.

I clutched the wood in anger , I would have killed them during the ceremony. Now they were planning to use me for their own benefit? And dump me after that? How cruel!

After they were done, Luna Alia placed a kiss on Elora and they both left the room. Waiting for a few minutes, I went to my room. Luckily for me, Flarry was still in the washroom. " I kept some clothes for you on the bed, I would be stepping out for a while" I said without waiting for his reply I left.

"I never knew you had plans of taking a concubine?" I said walking into the study.

Arthur was surprised to see me " How did you find me?" He asked.
