Astrid POV
I’ve been stalking Khalid lately, looking forward to the day he would leave her side, so I can carry out my plans. Seeing him always around her, makes me so angry, but I know it won’t last for long, before, before he’ll be mine, all I need to do, is get rid of her corpse, and everything will be fine, or if not that, I can just stab her on the tummy, with a dagger, and that’s all.
After waiting for what seemed like forever, the golden opportunity, which I’ve been looking for, finally present itself. Since it’s still early in the morning, I decided to take a stroll, and calm my head. Walking through through the veranda, I saw Khalid, walking towards the other side. He looked like he was hurrying to somewhere.
“Where’s he going to?” I asked inwardly, as I stared at him, walking away, while admiring him. He’s so handsome, I wonder why moon goddess have to take him away from me, but I’m going to make him mine, no matter the price I would have to pay.
A smirked crept its way on my face, as the imagination of my plan, working out perfectly, hit me hard, I just couldn’t help the wave of excitement, that rushed through me. The day I’ve always waited so long for, is finally here, the opportunity I’ve been looking for, is finally here, and letting it slip off my fingers like that, without making use of it, is the last thing I want.
I thought of what to do to get inside the room, without looking suspicious, knowing guards will be assigned to make sure of her safety, and an idea popped up in my head. Turning around, I walked straight to the royal kitchen, where I met some of the maids, making breakfast.
“Good morning lady Astrid.” They bowed slightly.
Ignoring their greetings, I walked straight to where they kept a pot of soup, and I opened it, as I was welcomed with the sweet aroma of a vegetable soup and cream, and gosh! The urge to have a taste of it, rushed through me, but I tried to resist myself, knowing that isn’t what I was there for.
“My lady, the soup was maid by lady Lia, specially for the alpha, she ordered that no one touches it.” One of the maids said politely.
Turning around swiftly to her, I sent a thunderous slap across her face, while glaring hard at her. How dare she talk to me in that manner! What guts does she have, to think she can open that filthy mouth of hers, to talk to me? I would’ve dealt severely with her, but I have something bigger to deal with, I’m coming back for her.
“I’m sorry my lady.” She bowed slightly, trying as hard not to cry.
After taking some soup, I arranged it on a tray, before taking it out of the kitchen, and soon, I was already on my way, walking to Khalid’s room. After walking for a few minutes, I finally got to his doorstep, and as expected, I was welcomed with two hefty looking men, standing in front of the door, maintaining a straight face, like they were in a war front or something. That’s their problem though.
I tried as much as not to appear nervous, to avoid ruining the whole thing, as I maintained a straight face.
“I’m sorry my lady, but the alpha….”
“Lady Lia asked me to drop this in alpha’s room.” I cut him off, before he could finish his statement. I know the risk I’m taking is not a good one, but nothing matters, I don’t care if I get into trouble, as long as I can be with the man I love, nothing else matters.
They gave me a suspicious look, but I tried as much as not to look suspicious. They glanced at each other, and looked at me again for seconds, before one of them opened the door for me, and I walked in.
Stepping inside, I released the breath, which I’ve been holding unknowingly. Looking around the room, I almost burst into tears, remembering the good memories I’ve shared with Khalid, in this same room, and the memory of him, throwing me out of his room some months ago, is still so fresh in my heart, that the thought of it, breaks my heart into pieces. I’ve really missed the scent of the room, Khalid’s scent, and everything.
Letting out a soft sigh, I turned around and dropped the tray on the center table, before standing erect, as my eyes darted to the most despicable person ever. The sight of her, irritates me alot, I hate her, she took my happiness away from me, and even after she’s dead, she is still taking it from me, I wish she can die, over and over again, looking at her corpse, I wish I could kill her again and again, she disgusts me.
Walking over to the bed, I gritted my teeth, as I stared down at her pale face, with her eyes closed, I pray she never get to open those eyes, ever again, even in hell, they should still remain closed. Gulping down the lump in my throat, I bent down, and removed the dagger, which was tied to my leg, under the red garment I was wearing.
Looking around, making sure no one was watching, my lips curved into a smirk, as I raised the dagger in the air with my two hands, ready to stab her corpse, when the door burst opened, making me snapped my head to look at who just barged in, as I was welcomed with my worst nightmare. Standing with a shock and angry look on, is alpha Khalid.
The dagger fell from my hand, and I turned to face him slowly, with my whole body fidgeting in fear. What the seer said, came ringing in my head, as I stared at him, her words are finally coming to pass, I know Khalid won’t spare me, not in this lifetime…
