Oh, Moon Goddess. Why did I always have to witness someone's sexy time? First, it was between the

alpha king and Nora. And now Sir Elijah and his woman? And why did it have to be now when I was in

a hurry?

“I will give you the best of your time, Sir Elijah, that will make your eyes roll back,” a woman said, failing

to seduce Elijah. Based on my point of view. And just by listening to that voice, I knew that woman.

Nora.

Dammit.

Did that woman already tell Elijah about the rumors?

That would be an advantage on my part since it would be easier to tell him why I was here, forcing

myself to listen to them in the middle of their sessions.

“Just relax, Sir Elijah and I will give you the best performance.”

The room went silent after that.

Next time, I would suggest to the alpha king to build a soundproof room. So they could have the best

privacy they have.

I stepped a little farther from them, not wanting to hear their moans while glaring at the door. How long Content rights by NôvelDr//ama.Org.

will I wait for them to finish? It would take a couple of minutes before my escape would reach the alpha

king and they would realize I came here to talk to Elijah.

Think, River.

I was trying to!

Time was ticking and by now, the alpha king possibly had already known I escaped. The first thing they

will go to would be here in the West Wing.

"Oh, Sir Elijah. Fuck me hard," Nora cried. "Oh, oh. More!"

Shit.

I did not know if I would wait or not.

I had been gone for more than ten minutes already. Move, move! my mind screamed.

I clenched my fist and put it beside me when the urge to knock became stronger. How long would I wait

here until they will be done again?

I bit my fingernails. The twins would be mad at me for escaping from them. But I did not have a choice!

Sensing it would take a while, I dragged my feet towards the door, closed to the distance between us,

and knocked three consecutive times while tapping my feet on the door.

“Go away!” Nora replied from the other side. “We’re occupied! Oh, oh. I’m ticklish down there!” Nora

giggled. I knocked again. Forcefully this time as if my life will depend on it.

I looked around. No guard yet. Good.

I waited and waited for someone to open the door. But no one dared to. I tried knocking again, finally

heard a rustling inside, with a few lengthy curses, and was able to hear the words bitch and saw Nora

half-opening the door.

Her lips pressed into a thin line when she realized it was none other than me.

She froze and stared at me with wide eyes and raised eyebrows. "You? I told you we are busy. What

do you want? Tell me. Hurry!"

My gaze darted at her current state. Unruly hair. Smudges of lipstick on her face. A towel wrapped

around the upper part of her body.

"Is Sir Elijah there? Inside?" I asked, softly.

"No," she answered and tried to slam the door shut but stopped her using more than the force she was

using. Nora was freaking strong. "Go away! Sir Elijah does not want to entertain visitors as of the

moment."

Using all of my strength, I pushed it more and succeeded. "I know what you are doing inside. But I

promise. I will give you time after this one," I uttered.

Her lips pressed into a thin line. "Have you no shame?"

Relax, River. You need to relax.

“Does it matter right now? If I have some sense of humiliation, I won’t be listening to your moans.”

“How dare you!”

"Nora. I don’t have all the time in the world to argue with you. Sir Elijah!" I shouted. “Sir Elijah!” I called

again. I heard another rustling of clothes and then Elijah stuck his face in the door.

“River, what’s the matter?”

My gaze darted at his current state. He wore a fluffy robe while wearing unkempt hair and kiss marks

on his neck. I looked at them back and forth and shook my head. It did not matter what the two had

done. It was not my right to pry.

“Can I talk with you, Sir Elijah? Alone? If that’s okay with you.”

“Why? You see, River...Nora and I are quite occupied at the moment. We will get back to you after this.”

“No.” He cocked a brow. “I mean no, Sir Elijah. This is urgent.”

He sighed. “It cannot wait, doesn’t it?”

“It’s a matter between life and death. Please? I promise this will not take long.”

“Who would kill you, River? You’re so good at what you did last night. You are an asset.”

Nora’s ears perked up and from her expression, I knew she was suddenly curious about it. Before Nora

would think the worst, I said, "It's not what you think it is, Nora. Don't spread any more lies that would

dirty Sir Elijah's reputation."

"What are you trying to say? That I spread false information?"

"You are the only one who knows about that." I looked up at Elijah who was silently listening to us.

“Please Sir Elijah?”

He sighed and gave in. “Fine. Nora, I am afraid we have to stop. Can you go now? I will call you when I

need you.”

“But… Sir Elijah…we are not yet—”

He put his hands on her shoulders making the woman's cheeks flush. “Thank you for understanding,”

Elijah said and kissed Nora’s cheeks, making them redder. “We will continue after this. I will call you.”

Fanning her face using both hands, she said, “I will wait for that, Sir Elijah.”

She entered and a couple of minutes later stepped out. When she was done, I entered hastily inside

followed by Elijah.

“So...what made you look like someone is after your life, River?” he asked, chuckling.

As much as I wanted to disregard the current state of the bed, my curiosity got ahead of me. The bed’s

comforter was chaotic. Some of Elijah’s clothes were on the floor and I could not help but imagine what

the two had been up to.

“Tell me why you are here, River. I will forgive you for disturbing us since you didn't know I hated it

when someone disturbs me while I am with my woman.” He fastened the robe around his body and sat

down, looking at me with his brown eyes.

I cleared my throat, not sure about how I would start.

“Forgive me for what I had done, Sir Elijah. It was unforgivable. I know. You can punish me later.”

“You can call me, Elijah.”

“No, Sir Elijah,” I said, asserting to call him Sir when I remembered he usually asked his woman to call

him only by his name. I had no plans of being his whore. “I should call you sir or others would get weird

ideas. That we are this close." Using my hands, I pressed my palms together, so that he would get

what I was trying to say. "I don’t want to beat around the bush, but I came here to tell you that I told

Alpha King Maxxwell that we are mates.”

His scowl deepened.

“That’s a serious allegation out there, River. Proceed. Make me understand why you lied to the alpha

king.”

“It’s because of the rumors saying we were seen together. Excuse me for the words that I would say,” I

said and coughed, then continued, “We were seen fucking each other at the watchtower which did not

happen. I only give you a massage, right? But they heard your words last night and jumped to

conclusions without verifying what is true or not.”

“Rumors will die, River. You do not have to fight it. Servants would always gossip wherever they got the

chance. Wait for a couple of days and the servants will talk about another topic.”

I bit my lower lip when he did not understand why I had to do it.

“I don’t want the alpha king to get mad at me because of that, Sir Elijah. I am his face and those rumors

only brought disgrace to His Majesty. What kind of personal servant I am if I cannot even protect his

name?”

He touched his chin and was in deep thought.

“You are faithful to the alpha king. I commend you for reminding me of his previous personal servant.”

“I am. I want to show how grateful I was for allowing me to come with him to his palace. However,” I

said, trailing off my words. I made my face sadder than usual. “The rumors had spread all over the

palace. To my panic, to defend myself when they continued it was me with you, I told him that we are

mates.”

“Mates. I never wanted to meet one."

"Why? Are you satisfied with casual sex?"

"It is true when the alpha king you asked a lot of questions. Unlike her. Who also hears that we are

mates, River?”

Licking my lips, I retorted, “The twins and the alpha king. None other else. Not even Nora.”

He folded his hands on his lap. “What do you want me to do, River? Do you know that lying to the

alpha king is punishable?”

“I know. I know. But I cannot take back my words anymore, Sir Elijah. Now…if you would be kind

enough to support my lie?”

“What if your real mate will come, River? And what if he will tell the alpha king the truth?”

I looked down, clenching my fist. Alpha Erik's face flashed in my mind and I easily vanished. That ma

did not deserve to be remembered.

“I already found out who my mate was, Sir Elijah.”

“And?” he pressed more.

I looked at him and gave him my famous fake smile.

“He rejected me. He was the alpha of our pack and did not want to do anything with me. Why would he

even waste his time with me who is nothing but a servant? And omega of our pack. Anyone would

reject a servant directly without giving us a chance because of our status. They think we are nothing

but their source of humiliation. They gave more importance to what the others would say compared to

what their beast would say.”

I smiled bitterly at the memory.

Alpha Erik will go on with his life, taking as many women as he could but would no longer be mated

while I continued hurting because of his rejection. Since he was the one who rejected me, he would

never have a second-chance mate, but it would not be a problem for him since women would always

go after him. It was only I who was only given a second chance. However, I did not know if he would

accept me.

“That’s not true, River. You were paired with an asshole.”

“It’s the truth, Sir Elijah. You wouldn’t know our struggles—being a servant and an omega since you are

at the top.”

“An alpha king had once taken a servant as his mate, River.”

My eyes widened at his declaration. Someone out there had taken an omega as his mate? Impossible.

That felt too good to be true.

“Who is the alpha king that you are referring to, Sir Elijah?”
