Chasing the rejected Luna novel Chapter 18

Sophia

It was shocking to see all of the servants go about their business without giving me a second look. I was not part of them because of my scent but they all did like I was invisible. 

I guessed Alpha Ryven must have warned them about it. But thinking about it, he wasn't the type of person to do such a thing. I took my mind off it when we stopped in front of a door. 

I looked at the Beta beside me and he smiled down at me. He was a nice man. He opened the door and my mouth fell agape at what lay before me - the room was painted in my favorite purple color. Not only that, there was a princess bed in the middle of the room. It looked like one of the rooms that would only be seen in movies. 

At the side of the room was a huge dressing table, on which different makeup kits lay. And at the side of the room were two doors. One leading to the bathroom and the other leading to what I guessed would be the closet. 

"You like it?" The Beta asked and I looked sharply at him, I feared I might get a whip splash from it. My hair fell to my face from the action and he chuckled. 

"Like? I love it. Is this my my room?" I asked him to be sure I wouldn't be happy just to realize my room would be worse than the one I had in my former pack.  

It was funny how I adapted so quickly to the pack, that I had unintentionally called it my former pack. And Alpha Ryven's pack my new pack. I missed my old pack. No doubt but I was looking forward to a brighter future here. 

"Of course. It's your room. What do you expect from Alpha Ryven? You're his special guest so it's only right you be treated as such," he said and walked into the room while I followed suit. 

My throat was constricted from too many emotions. Why would someone who barely knew me do that much for me?

"I don't understand, how am I his special guest?" I asked him when we got into the room and he stopped to look at me. There was something in his eyes that I could not decipher. It had been there all along since the time we were in the car but I chose to ignore it. 

But at that moment, I noticed it one more time. What was he hiding from me? And there was a way he looked at me that he hadn't looked at me before. I couldn't explain it because I didn't know what it was. 

"Just know you are," he said and decided to stop there. "There are clothes in the closet for you. In case you need anything, just ring the bell there," he said and pointed to a bell that was lodged on the wall beside the bed. 

I bit my lips, my thoughts running wild. But I decided to stay silent. I knew no matter how much I asked him, he wouldn't spill. I just needed to wait for Alpha Ryven. 

His footsteps receded while my eyes took in the room again, amazed at the setting of the room. It was one fit for a princess and not a lowly slave like me. 

He got to the door and stopped. I turned around to look at him to find him looking at me. 

"Alpha Ryven wants to come down for dinner later. I suggest you take your bath now and rest," he said and opened the door, walking out of the room. 

I let my feet roam the whole of the room, touching different things I wasn't familiar with but made sure not to break anything in case I found out it was all a lie. 

Stripping, I got to the bathroom and my jaw almost hit the floor. The bathroom was made up of white tiles. I felt like I was in the underworld. Or with Selene, the moon goddess. 

The bathroom felt too clean for me. Out of reflex, I almost ran out of the bathroom but I had to stell my nerves. I soaked myself in the tub with hot water which helped to loosen my tensed muscles. 

While in the water, I went over everything that happened within the last twenty-four hours. I loved Alexander and lost him within a day. My love turned into intense hate and then turned into nothing. I was numbed from all the emotions. I just wanted to crawl into bed and wake up to find out I had a long dream. 

Where I was back in the pack, with Alexander hating me, Dianne bullying me and her mother being the ever-kind woman. 

The water turned cold and that was when I realized I wasn't dreaming. I was in reality. It felt too surreal, I knew I would probably wake up when the sun went down. 

Placing the thick bathrobe around my tiny frame, I opened the door to the closet and I stopped breathing for a moment. The room was filled with clothes for different occasions. From my panties to party wear.
