MALIA’S POV
With how tired I was and how much productive I had been for the entire day, I expected my brain to shut down immediately my back touched the bed, but nothing of that nature happened. Instead, I kept on tossing and turning, thinking about the drastic turn my life had taken in just a few days.
When I left home, I was blinded by so many emotions. I was desperate to put some distance between myself and the person who had been causing the intense heartache that I didn’t give myself time to think through everything.
Where I could reside when I leave the pack? What kind of life I would start? Who I would be with? Heck, I didn’t even give a single thought to the lurking dangers that awaited me in the forest, I just approached them here first despite knowing that they were there.
I could easily say I went on a self-destructive mission that would have been a success if not for Ryder who saved me.
Now all that is in the past, I am here, in a new pack with new people around me. The title of a Luna is no longer attached to my name and as long as everyone is concerned, I am just like every other person around the pack or even less.
I could say I was lucky to have gained a room in the palace and stayed under the owner of the whole pack himself. Nothing could go wrong considering he was even an enemy to Zade.
Zade. Just the thought of his name caused my heart to shrink in distress. Every fond memory I have of him had been disrupted by his final actions and the thought of him caused nothing but pain to my heart now. It was going to take time, getting over him will take a bit of time.
Needless to say, I will do it, and when the right time comes, just like Ryder said, “he will see just what grave mistake he has made”
With this kind of thought, I kept my mind busy for most of the night until finally, unbeknownst to me, sleep took charge of me and I fell into a deep restless slumber.
Again, I thought by just how tired I was and how late I slept, I would be able to sleep into the morning and most of the afternoon since I had nothing to do. But again, I was proved wrong.
By the first crack of dawn, I was awake, my eyes wide and lacking any form of sleep. I just lay there on my bed doing nothing. Just staring into space and thinking about life again.
I tried to make my morning productive since I had nothing else to do, I decided to clean around the room again but getting myself out of bed was a huge task I couldn’t fulfill.
I spent an hour or two just laying on the mattress and had only stood up to answer the impatient knock on my door. I knew Ronan had told me he would be busy with pack duties for a day or two but I was frankly still disappointed when he wasn’t the one at the door.
“Oh,” I exclaimed when I was greeted by the face of a maid.
“Good morning” she bowed curtly.
“Good morning dear, how is the day treating you?” surprisingly, my sluggish mood escalated the moment I opened my mouth to speak. I guess I was just engulfed in loneliness.
“Err…. good?” the way she spoke confirmed to me that they weren’t normally engaged in conversations with others. She nervously ran her hands through her hair and then folded her hands in front of her.
“You are here for a reason right?” I questioned after a bit of silence and she wasn’t ready to speak.
“Yes, of course I was. What was it again? Oh yes, the Alpha right? Yes, the Alpha…”
“Relax” I proclaimed. “Relax okay? I don’t bite. I am normal, like you” I don’t get why she was so nervous.
“Sorry, I tend to get a little bit shaken up at times. Sorry, you had to take note of that” She replied.
“I understand, don’t bother with the explanation. You said the Alpha sent you to me?” I changed the route of the conversation.
“Yes!” She clamored as if she just remembered what was her main reason for coming here.
“He sent me to you to deliver a message. He said you should be available for breakfast in his wings at ten o’clock AM today and you should be on time” She spoke.
I frowned deeply at that, taking the time to let the words register in my head. I rummaged through my head for any reason why he would want to have breakfast with me and actually came up with nothing.
“Alright, I will be there I guess? Are you going to guide me there? because I don’t know my way around here”
“Don’t be bothered about that, I will be here to help you get ready. A dress will be delivered and you are meant to wear that. I will go get it right now and I will be back to assist you with everything” She responded.
I nodded and retreated back into the room while she went down the hallway.
To say I was bewildered would be an understatement. He not only wanted to have breakfast with me but also wants to choose what I will be wearing to the said breakfast.
Deciding not to think too much about it, I strolled into the bathroom and performed the usual bathroom routine. When I footed out, the maid was already in the room, an extravagant-looking lush green dress was placed on the bed.
I had no idea what he meant with all these, but whatever it was I had to get ready in other to find out, so I got into doing that at once.
