Kelathari’s POV
Benjamin has just come into my medical room and informed me that Doctor Serena said I’m allowed to leave, as long as I stay with him in his room. Whilst telling me this information he grabbed my hand when I questioned it. The feeling I got when he grabbed me, the tingling sensation radiating through my hand, I instantly became so calm and wanted to make him happy.
I stare into his eyes and get lost in his beautiful face. He’s honestly the most beautiful man I’ve ever seen, practically a god. The surprising thing is that of all the people he is choosing to spend his time with right now it’s me. He makes me feel so safe, secure and wanted. I’ve never had this feeling before with anyone I’ve ever met, it’s so foreign for me to feel.
The warm feeling travels all over my body down to in between my legs. I feel my underwear slowly becoming wet the longer our hands touch. I look down briefly as my body starts doing its own thing, when I look back up at him his eyes have turned black which an expression of lust.
“Okay, let’s go” I break the silence that was between us and try to refocus on what was happening in the room.
I turn to Angie who is fast asleep on me and gently shake her to wake her up. She raises her head off my hand with a sleepy expression. Benjamin explains to her what the plan is and she helps to start packing a bag of all my items whilst he leaves the room to go to the bathroom down the hall.
“Oh I can do that don’t worry”
“Nooo, you need to rest Kelathari! I’m more than happy to help you with anything that you need” she packs all of my items up very quickly and helps me out of my hospital gown and back into my clothes.
“Oh my we need to find you some clean clothes, do you have any?” She smiles up at me.
“No these are the only clothes without holes in at the moment. I’m sorry when we get back to the room I’ll wash them so Benjamin doesn’t have to see me like this” Her face turned from smiles to being horrified.
“I’m sure when Benjamin hears about this he will just buy you some new clothes my dear so don’t worry about it” she tries to smile again but I can tell this news upsets her.
“Oh my, really? I’ve never had new clothes before! That would be a wonderful experience, but I also don’t want any money wasted on me. Do you not have any old clothes that I could use?”
“No Serena, you don’t take old clothes from anyone anymore! I will speak with Benjamin when he comes back for you if you don’t wish to ask yourself”
“Ask me what?” He walks back in as Angelique finishes what she’s saying.
“She has no new clothes Benjamin, they are all second hand with holes in. She needs clothes without holes!” I hang my head down in shame as Angelique tells him about my situation.
“I’m so sorry my king! I don’t mean to offend you or ask for anything. Angelique is the one saying I need something new, I just asked for something of hers that is old”
“Kelathari, please I told you not to use my title anymore. Call me Benjamin! As you are meant to be resting the next few days I will send Angie out to the town to buy you some clothes now and we can throw those away this evening” I look at him in shock as he hands Angelique his card and she looks at me and smiles.
“Please Kelathari, we are here to look after you and make sure you recover quickly” she puts her arm around mine.
“Now let’s get you back to Benjamins room, he can get the bags”
We say our farewell’s to Doctor Serena who has instructed me that I need to come back in the morning and evening to get check ups and that Benjamin has some medication for me that I need to take now. I have 2 days to heal as much as possible before I am meant to have my first shift on the full moon. When I look outside I realise that the day passed quickly and it is now the evening.
As we walk through the pack house I can see the eyes that follow me and the whispers of how the king saved me from death against the Alpha.
I think if the King wasn’t there this time he would have probably killed me and thought nothing of it. I will be forever grateful for those that stood up for me this morning. Especially Amalia, with her being pregnant too she shouldn’t have put herself in danger like that for me. Once I feel better I need to go and find her and thank her but also tell her off for putting her and her pup in danger like that.
“Where do you think you’re going?” I look up to see Gloria blocking mine and Angie’s way down the hallway.
“I’m taking her to King Benjamin’s room now move” Angie glares at Gloria.
“This mutt has no place being with the king. If he wants a female so badly he can take one of the omega’s. That’s what they are there for, not this maid! I see she has recovered a lot quicker this time so she is needed for the dinner service” Gloria crosses her arms as she speaks to Angie.
“I do not want an omega nor am I interested in them. Kelathari will no longer be a maid for your pack, I’m taking her with me. So if you don’t wish to die at the hands of my beta, you heard her, now MOVE!” King Benjamin used his powerful Alpha aura on everyone in the hallway. Everyone moved out of our way and showed him their necks out of submission.
For some odd reason I wasn’t affected and I didn’t quite understand why. I would have to ask him about it later when we are safely in his room.
As everyone moves out of the way I look down to the floor and let Angie walk me along to the hallway, as soon as she opens the door to his room I run inside and sit on the sofa in front of me.
“Are you okay Kelathari?” Angie sits next to me and takes my hand.
“It’s just all a hit overwhelming. The fact that you both care for me and they aren’t able to bully me anymore, it’s just a different feeling’ I smile back.
‘Well you better get used to it because no one will treat you that way ever again!’ I turn my head and see him placing the items from the hospital room on a side table.
‘I just don’t understand why you’re both doing this for me?’
‘Be patient dear, everything will reveal itself with time’ Angie grips my hand to try reassure me.
‘I will take my leave now, going to grab food from the dinner hall, I’ll grab you both something too so that you are able to rest and get yourselves comfortable’ With that being said Angie leaves me and Benjamin alone.
I instantly start picking at my fingers unsure of what I should be doing with myself right now.
‘Hey hey heyyy! Don’t do that, you’ll make them sore hahaa! What’s wrong?’
‘I’m sorry Kin- Benjamin I just have never been in the presence with someone in charge for this long before. It’s leaving me at a bit of a loss. I’m so grateful for everything you have done for me so far but I will happily go back to my shed’
‘You think I’m going to let you go back there?’
‘I don’t see why not’
‘Well as the king I’ve requested you to stay in my presence did I not make myself clear’ I watch his anger start to build up, I’m now starting to realise he is a bit controlling.
‘Sorry Benjamin, I’ll stay here’
‘That’s more like it now you wait here I’m going to go and run you a nice warm bath for you to relax in’
‘Oh I can do that myself’
‘I said sit down here and wait! I will run it for you! Why can’t you just let someone look after you for once?!’
‘Sorry’ I tilt my head downwards and stare at the floor. I hear the bathroom taps turn on and a vanilla aroma soon fills the room. It must be the type of bath soap he is using. But the smell of it is so divine! I’ve never smelt something so warming, the pack house must be lucky if they all get to use this all of the time. I hear footsteps coming closer to me.
‘Okay, come on then let’s get you in the bath and relaxing’
‘You’re coming with me?’ I feel my face becoming redder.
‘I won’t get in the bath with you, I’m just going to sit in there with you to keep you company’
‘Oh okay’
We both walk to the bathroom. As I open the door I see the large marble bath in the centre of the room with golden taps. The walls are a cream which compliments the bath and marble floor well. I look over to the left where I see a large walk in shower with a 2 different shower heads, I wonder why there’s 2. To the right there in a large sink area enough for 3 people and on the wall above it is a large mirror. I see little soaps on the side which I assume were provided for King Benjamin.
‘Kelathari are you okay?’ I turn to face Benjamin who is looking at me concerned.
‘Oh yes, just admiring the bathroom. It’s so large for one person. I’ve never seen such a big bath before’ I start laughing. Benjamin chuckles with me.
‘Okay well let’s get you in the bath then before it gets cold’
‘Okay, can you leave so I can get undressed?’
‘Hmmm’
‘I don’t feel comfortable with you watching me’
‘Okay, fine’ he walks off sulking.
I take off the clothes that I was wearing and climb up the step to the bath, I sit on the edge and dip my toe it. The vanilla scent and the warmth is so inviting I practically jump in. Water spills everywhere and I start laughing again.
‘Is everything okay?!’ Benjamin runs back in and slips on the water. This send us both into a fit of laughter.
‘Yes everything is wonderful thank you for running me a bath. Are you doing okay?’
‘Yesss don’t worry about me hahaa, a little water didn’t hurt anybody’ with him saying that he starts to take his top and trousers off.
‘I thought you said you weren’t getting in?’
‘I’m not, I’m going to change into one of the robes. You don’t expect me to sit here soaked in water do you?’
‘Oh no of course not’
I watch him as he gets undressed. His sculpted body on show. His body is heavenly to look at. Now I can see why he is known to be so popular with the ladies. I’ve heard that he is quite the person to be in bed with, that’s the rumours going around anyway. Watching him take his trousers off and my eyes shift towards his boxers. I see a large outline of what lies beneath them. Before I know it I let out a small moan, whining for his body to be close to mine. I don’t know why I’m feeling such an attraction to him, I guess it’s just his good looks and charm. It’s why all the other women fall for him. Then I start to get a small hint of sandalwood and oak trees coming from him. Almost like the smell of nature after a thunderstorm when the air is still quite musky.
‘Are you enjoying what you see?’ He smirks at me.
‘Oh I’m sorry!’ I quickly avert my eyes back to the bath and bubbles I’m laid amongst.
‘You don’t have to apologise’
‘Did anyone tell you that you smell of sandalwood and like the forest after it’s rained?’ I refuse to look up when saying this.
‘No they didn’t, does it smell nice to you?’
‘Yes it does’
‘Well that’s good to know’ he is now sat on the step leading up to the marble bath with a clean robe on. He gently grabs my face to look up at him and I see the smile on his face. I find it so amusing that this person of such authority can also provide such kindness to someone like me.
‘So Kelathari, tell me about yourself…’
