The Werewolf King's Maid Mate

Chapter 3

Kelathari’s POV

As soon as I looked up to who I bumped into I was memorised by her beauty. She was tall with dark blonde hair and dark blue eyes. She was one of the strangers that I saw down the hallway earlier today. She looked down at me and it was like she recognised me instantly. She smiled at me and held her hand out to me. I had to scan the room before I took her offer of help because if Gloria caught me doing this she would report me to the Alpha.

“Thanks, sorry I fell into you I was just trying to get away..” I dusted my clothes off hoping I didn’t mess up Gloria’s clothes.

“Hey, it’s okay! No one got hurt, what’s your name and who were you running from?”

“My name is Kelathari, I’m sorry I’m not allowed to speak to you, I must go”

With that I ran away, I looked over my shoulder behind me and saw her looking confused but waving me off.

I ran straight for my shed to hide from everyone, if they find out I spoke to one of the strangers who knows what kind of punishment they would give to me this time. What did make me happy though was that a strange face showed me such kindness. Perhaps it is just my luck that I have ended up here growing up in a pack that hates me. It’s times like these I really miss my parents, I would have love to have known what they were like. How my childhood would have been so different if I had them here loving me and teaching me.

“Hello?”

I turn my head to find that Amalia had come after me. She greets me with a welcoming smile.

“Heyy, shouldn’t you be celebrating with Demetrius still?”

She walks over to come and sit on my metal frame I call a bed.

“Ugh! Honestly, I don’t get why you aren’t allowed a bed, it’s so barbaric! Anyway, I saw you running away from the king’s beta and I came to check up on you to make sure she hasn’t scared you off”

“Ohhh is that who that was? If I had known how important she was I wouldn’t have ran away. I hope Glor..”

“You hope Gloria what? Doesn’t find out, I should give that b***h a taste of her own medicine!”

“Ahhh you’re so sweet Amalia but it would just make things worse for me in the long run sadly hahaaa! She told me I wasn’t to speak to any of the king’s entourage otherwise she would report me to the Alpha”

I turn my head away in shame. I just don’t want to be punished again, and I don’t want Amalia to get in trouble again for sticking up for me.

“Once you turn 18, things should get easier for you, hopefully your mate is even in a different pack because then you would have to move there with him. At least that would keep you away from James and Sophie”

“But it means I’m also away from you and Demetrius”

I lay down on my side and Amalia places her hand onto me and smiles.

“We will always be with you in your heart no matter where you go! Now come on your 18th birthday is in 2 days, what is the first thing you want to do?”

“I’m just excited to meet my wolf and go on my first run to be honest”

Amalia gets up and drags me up with her.

“We’ll come on then you need to get something to eat so that you’ll be strong enough to do the first turn into your wolf”

I hesitantly move but finally nod and follow her out of my shed. We walk back to the pack house and into the dining hall. Thankfully most people have left and only a few people from the King’s entourage are left behind. Demetrius waves us over and Amalia takes her seat next to him. I sit opposite them on the table, as I look up I can briefly see the woman I bumped into earlier, who Amalia said was the King’s beta. She smiles at me and I quickly look downwards back to my plate.

I grab some of the leftover fruit and pastries from the middle of the table whilst initiating in with some small talk about the new arrival.

“So I know it’s early days but have you both thought of any names yet?”

“We are going to wait to find out the gender first and then look into it then” Demetrius places his hand on Amalia’s stomach and smiles.

“What are you doing, sat at this table?” I hear that all to familiar tone with his authoritative aura hitting me. I turn around to see Alpha James looking at me furiously. I quickly glance over his shoulder to see that Sophie is looking at me apologetically. Then all of a sudden Amalia stands up and slams her hands onto the table.

“She is allowed to eat, she turns 18 in a few days and she can do whatever she wants then, even if it means leaving” You can feel the anger seeping from Amalia.

“Leave? Hahaa, and where would she go? No one would take this stupid mutt in. She would end up being a rogue, fending for herself in the wild with no one to look out for her or help her”

“I would help her and so would Demetrius. We would never just leave her and let her struggle”

“You are lucky you’re pregnant b***h! Otherwise you would have been punished too for even attempting to speak out against me”

With him saying that the first blow hits the side of my face. He put a lot of force into it this time as when fist connected with my face I heard a c***k, my jaw had just broken. I fall side ways onto the floor after the hit. The next thing I remember is shouting happening, and the kings beta was knelt in front of me leaning over me protecting me from anymore beatings.

I lay there confused as to why this stranger would still show me such kindness. She knew nothing about me, probably didn’t even know that all I am is a maid to this pack, I don’t mean anything to anyone here. Yet she would already use her own body as a shield to protect me against my alpha. Ever since she arrived she feels like she’s my guardian angel, she has such a warm and friendly presence. I can feel the blood dripping out of my mouth and nose onto the floor, I see the puddle growing in front of me. The darkness starts to consume me as my eyes begin to close.

“Stay awake Kelathari, don’t close your eyes focus on my voice” I hear her saying in my ear. It’s hard to focus on it though my head is becoming more and more painful and I can’t even move right now.

I try fighting it to the best of my ability but my body gives in to the injuries I just received. My body just needs to rest now so that it can heal itself.
