Freya's POV
I went back into my room and locked myself in. Now that I had seen my supposed mate, I could at least have some breathing space. I walked into the bathroom and decided to wash my face. I raised my head from the sink to meet my reflection staring at me.
My new reflection. I still had not gotten used to it. As I had been told by the maid, was a lady called Annie.
"Annie, are you there?" I whispered to myself, hoping she or her wolf were still somewhere within me, but when no one answered back, I knew I was all alone. This body was now mine.
A new life was given to me. But why?
I went to bed immediately. Yes but before that, I had to fully get accustomed to the room and maybe the new life. I stood up from the bed and walked around the room. The chandelier had beautiful diamonds on it that had been layered majestically, making the room look like a queen's room.
I understood that this was a Luna's room but even I was wowed. The floors had engraved designs of a peacock and swans on them. Beautiful designs of black and white. The curtains matched. White curtains that stood higher than the window. They should have been about ten feet tall. Much taller than I was.
I wrapped myself in them and danced like a princess in a movie. I sang a hymn in my head and even played an imaginary scene where a king asked for me to dance.
"Yes, I will take your hands and dance with you" I giggled like a child.
My cheeks were red and full. My freckles from my past life had come back to play but not too visible. I rolled on my feet away from the curtain and walked to the closet.
The two wooden doors that were twice my height and required twice my strength to pull was magnificent. It didn't stop me though. Even if I needed to shift into my werewolf to open it, I would and I was glad I did.
"Wow!" I quickly slapped my mouth closed as the door opened to Annie's wardrobe.
"Wow."
"Wow!!"
"Wow!!!" I jumped in excitement. This was nothing compared to my former life, nothing at all. I felt butterflies in my belly just by looking at the clothes in her wardrobe. She had three sections.
The luxurious wears which had pearls and diamonds engraved in the clothings,. She must have worn them for awards, festivals and all that. She must have been the one who caught everyone's attention at whatever gathering she got.
I could only imagine...
The second that I scanned through seemed to be a step down from the first but still as elegant as anything I could have ever seen. I imagined she wore them for meetings and brunch. They had designs on them. Beautifully crested designs that screamed affluence and then finally, I found her house wear.
In my opinion, her house might have been even much better than all my clothes in my former life.
"I've never seen this in my life". I said as I lifted a hanger with a long gown made of jean material and fur. Polka Dot fur. My head played the perfect scenario I could dress her in.
"Her?" I shook my head. "No, it was now me" I chuckled.
Sliding the pearls down my neck and wrist as I picked any dress I could lay my hands on, I jumped in excitement. This was much more than I ever had in my entire life. I was overjoyed. My entire body shook in excitement. I went to bed that night feeling like a princess, that I had now become.
A knock on my door in the morning required me to wake early. My eyes and face were still puffy from hardly having enough sleep. I was that happy.
"May I come inside" she begged to be let in. I acknowledged her and gave her my permission to enter when I saw her coming in with several other people. They held large bowls in their hands and towels thrown across their shoulders.
"What are these for?"I widened my eyes in surprise. I was still a little sleepy.
"Your facials, your manicure and pedicure, Luna. You are always used to having them whenever you wake from bed."
I nodded. It seemed fun.
But it seemed stressful. What happened to washing my face the normal way and then heading down for breakfast?
Annie was too extravagant, if I was to be asked.
I shook my head and asked them to leave. The maid suggested a few massages and I still declined.
"A soak in rose water?"
"No".
"A facial peel at least?"
I still declined. She went on trying to suggest it but when she saw I was still stuck on my answer, she finally gave up.
"Is the Alpha up?" I questioned.
"Yes and he is about to have his breakfast, would you like some?"
I jumped from my bed. Now, was my chance to familiarize myself.
"What does he like?"
The maid looked at me a little worried, "Luna, you are acting a little strange, is everything okay? You usually don't concern yourself with what he wants to eat."
I paid her no mind as I rushed to the closet and dragged a floral gown I was comfortable with. It looked many steps lower in class than what Annie had in her closet but it was what I was comfortable with.
"Lead me to the kitchen" I buttered myself up and held her hand. "I want to make a meal for my mate"
Downstairs, I fumbled between ingredients and finally made a proper meal for the Alpha. With a big smile on my face, I took it to him with joy. I was getting closer to where he sat when he caught sight of me from the corner of his eyes.
"What are you doing?"
"Bringing you food" my smile could not have been brighter than this. I lowered the tray onto the table. "I heard this is your favorite"
With a face filled with disgust, he took a look at the food and then at what I was wearing. "Are you trying to seduce me by looking homeless?"
