Chapter 44
I make my way to Ma’am Sophia’s office feeling blissful. She sent for me and I can’t help but wonder what she wants to tell me, but whatever it is, I know it’s good news.
I have grown very fond of her these past weeks and I love her dearly. I’m going to miss her when I leave for Goodland.
There’s one thing that baffles me about her, she never talks about her family, neither does she go to visit them. Other servants have days off within the week when they are permitted go visit their families, but she never takes a day off, I wonder why.
I’m going to ask her.
When I get to her door, I knock and immediately, she opens up with a beaming smile on her face.
She’s such a happy soul.
“Hello” I greet enthusiastically and she draws me into her arms.
I like it when she gives me that tender motherly hug and she always smells so nice!
“How was your day at the post?” She ask once we get into her bedroom.
“Not bad. I met my father today”
“Whoa!”
“And he didn’t seem to pleased to see me” I explain sadly.
“Well that’s his loss.”
“Yeah, it is. I’m not going to cry over the fact he hates me. It’snot worth it”
“Not at all sweetheart, not at all” She says as she goes over to her wardrobe and takes about a little bottle from it.
“What’s that?” I ask curious
“It’s a pain reliever. You arm isn’t healing fast because it’s not being treated, I’m going to massage it with this oilmen and by tomorrow, it’s going to feel better.” She says as she comes and sits by myside and that’s when I recognize the bottle. It’s the same kind Aloha Damien had used to massage my hand his bedroom.
“It’s going to hurt, right?”
“Truth be told, yes”
“Aww…” I lament as I take off my blouse and she sides by side and starts massaging the arm.
It hurts so bad.
“Ma’am, can I ask you a question?”Text property © Nôvel(D)ra/ma.Org.
“Yeah, go on”
“Where’s your family?” I ask and she pauses for a while before she continues.
“Well, my family is in this pack”
“Why don’t you go to visit them?”
“Well, cuz I see them every day”
“Really? Who are they? Can you show me to them?” I ask eagerly and she just chuckles.
“Calm down Reign, I’ll show you my family when the time comes”
“I can’t wait” I squeal in excitement that’s cut short by a sharp pain in my arm. I wince in agony and remain quiet throughout the massage process.
I just hope this arm gets healed soon. There’s so many things I want to do with it.
Giving Alpha Hardin one powerful punch is one of them. A punch that’s going to make him bleed.
When she’s done massaging my arm, I put on my blouse and turn to face her.
“Thank you”
“Anytime sweetie. Have you had dinner?”
“Yeah, with Kylie, she ordered servants to serve us dinner in my room. She’s going to be one very fierce Luna” I say with a light chuckle and Ma’am Sophia smiles.
“She takes after her mother and I’m so proud of her. She’s going to make a fierce Luna indeed”
“A very fierce Luna! By the way, where’s the former Luna? I mean, her mother?”
“Well, Luna Salvia has her own ways, she’s always doing the impossible. Don’t be surprised that she might have disguised and is working in here as a maid like one of us” She reveals and my eyes poke out in shock.
“No she wouldn’t!”
“She has done it countless times before. She’s one very crazy Luna”
“Wow!”
“Yeah, you have to go to bed now”
“Oh yeah, I should” I agree as I rise up from the couch and walk to the door. “Good night Ma’am Sophia and thanks again for the massage”
“Anytime sweetheart”
I turn on my heels and exit the room. I walk out of the corridor to the field to take some fresh air. I’m not sleepy yet and I could really use some fresh breeze and Oxygen.
I patrol around the field thinking about all what has happened to me. How I was rejected, accused of killing my sister and being punished by my mate. Meeting Alpha Damien.
Alpha Damien.
I miss him.
That was the first person to show me compassion when all this soap opera began and I hate the way I had to leave him. I hate that I never actually gave him an explanation about what really happened.
That day Alpha Hardin took me away, I could see in his eyes, he didn’t want me to go, but he was helpless. He couldn’t go against his paramount Alpha else he would be punished severely.
Not only him but his entire pack.
Alpha Damien is a good man and I hope that the moon goddess gives him a second mate whom he will love and rule with for the rest of his life. He deserves another chance of love.
As for this stubborn mate of mine called Alpha Hardin, I don’t know what to wish for him, but what I Know is that by the time the truth will be revealed, by the time he realizes himself, I will be long gone and he will live the rest of his life regretting his horrible actions towards me.
“What are you doing out here?” A deep voice asks from behind and I didn’t need to look before I know it’s Alpha Hardin. I will recognize that deep Alpha voice any where.
They say speak of the devil and he will appear. I turn around to look at him.
“I’m.. I’m just taking some fresh air” I defend.
I want ask him what he’s doing in the servant quarters at this hour but then I remember what he told me earlier this morning. This is his pack and he has every right to be anywhere he wants, anytime and I have no right to question him.
I swallow my question and bow down my head.
“Fresh air indeed. Are you out here to kill other people? Or, do you plan on escaping again?”
“I have no intension of doing any of those things you accuse me of Alpha, like I said, I just came to get some fresh air” I defend with my head bowed down and I don’t need any magic to know that right now his dark brown eyes have completely darkened in anger.
I always make him angry.
“I’m going to have that flippant tongue of yours cut off one of these days.” He threatens “Now go to your room!” He orders authoritatively and I quickly scurry away before he can change his mind and give me some punishment.
Two weeks!
Just two more weeks and he won’t have me around to taunt any more!
