Chapter 21
DAVINA’S POV
Juanita and Cassy walked in with boxes, while Benedict and Carla came behind them with different dinner gowns. I stood at the entrance of the bathroom, quietly watching how they did their thing.
“Good evening Luna!” Juanita greeted, and the rest bowed after greeting. As usual, she has a serious facial expression.
“Even though it was hours without you girls, it looks as if it was forever. ” I responded with a smiling face, sparing Carla a glance, and she smiled back.
“We are to get you ready, Luna, and we have to be smart with it.” Came Juanita’s voice, so cold and firm.
“Has she taken a rest today?” I asked the others and turned their gaze back at her.
“We have no idea,” Benedict responded.
“Have you taken a rest today Juanita?” I inquired.
“No, my Luna, my duty is to take- Take a break?” I cut in and she nearly choked.
“My Luna?” She whispered with a worrisome expression.
“It’s nothing serious, you should take a break and Cassy too-
“Oh Luna, I’m not stressed, I’m not always looking too serious… Juanita can have the rest,” Cassy stuttered as she locked her palms together hastily, beads of sweat settling around her forehead.
“Can you four come a bit closer?” I sighed and they did as instructed.
“How long have you been working here?”
“I was born into the pack, but I joined as a worker for the past ten years now.” Juanita detailed.
“Oh, you understand the rules better?” I asked and she nodded.
“Oh! That’s great. Are you allowed to take breaks?”
“Yes. Yes! If the person that we are assigned to serve gives us.” She further into details.
“Are you permanently assigned to serve the Luna, right?”
“Yes, Luna!” They said in unison.
“This is getting interesting-
“Can I say something, Luna?” Juanita asked, and I slightly nodded my head, giving her permission to.
“Can we have this conversation while getting ourselves engaged with dressing you up for the party, instead of having this conversation while sitting Alpha Tristan doesn’t condone lateness, he loves being punctual at everything?” She explained, checking back at the exit over and over again.
“Let’s get ready then. But after this, Benedict and Carla will attend to me from this moment on while you both take a break. It’s that clear!”
“Yes, it is.” They said in unison and walked me back to the bathroom.
I rested my back in a slow and comfy way in the tub. The tub is mostly used anytime my maids are doing the dressing up for that day. Juanita kept moving so fast as she wanted to meet with the time Tristan might have given her. And then the scrub began, I shut my eyes to enjoy my bath, but my heart ached at a point. I ignored it, thinking it was a minor thing!
“Argh!” I winced, clutching my left hand on my chest, which startled Carla! That’s not even my main concern at the moment.
“What’s wrong with the Luna?!” I heard Juanita’s shaking voice as she rushed to pull me out of the tub filled with soapy water! Carla slowly took steps back, frightened by how I was groaning in pain.
“Juanita! Her eyes- is glowing!” Benedict mumbled as she assisted Juanita.
Wait, my eyes are? I thought while wincing in pain, I groaned, opening my eyes, I fell flat on the floor, turning pleading eyes on Juanita “Make it stop!”
“Lexie make it stop!” I screamed and it stopped. A breath of relief escaped my lips as I tried to balance myself.
“What the actual fuck just happened Lexie!” I yelled and she came up.
“Something is wrong with our mate!” She sounded concerned…
“Tristan?? Something is wrong with Tristan?” My voice trembled, and my head filled up with thoughts. I look down at myself and return my gaze to my maids, my eyes glance at the bed and there is a transparent nightwear, I rush and pick it up, Juanita and the rest are so confused.
“Go and get the beta, something is wrong with the Alpha!” I informed rushing out of my room, Juanita and Cassy followed me while Carla and Benedict carried out my order.
“What could be wrong?!” Thoughts piled up in my head as I pushed his door open!
“Tristan! Tristan!! Tristan!!!” I called out to him, checking every corner of his extensive room. Benedict and Juanita rush out of the room to check the room next to his, I gaze at the bathroom door and I realize we hadn’t checked that.
Leaving words for the thoughts, I pushed the door open and there was his body, lying lifelessly on the cold marble floor.
“Tristan! I called out to him as I held his cold body close to mine. I cup his cheeks as panic rushes down my spine.
“Moon Goddess, what should I do? I mumbled these words while beating his chest, his body was so cold. Gently placed him on the ground while trying to reach the alarm switch and I successfully did.
Juanita and the rest rushed in, and they silently gasped!
“Lexie! What should I do? Your sudden silence is making me feel uncomfortable… My voice trembles while doing CPR for him…
“I’m trying to communicate with Grey, but everything seems dead on the other end.” She whimpered painfully… Men in synchronized suits rushed in.
“It’s The Alpha! He’s unconscious!” One of the men voiced out, paving the way for the rest to see…
“Luna, can you move a bit, we need to move the Alpha to his bed while we wait for the Pack Doctor?” He uttered, and I obeyed with panic still in my body as my heart kept pounding so hard… They successfully moved him to his bed and I looked around…
“Where is the Beta?!” I asked looking at the man who seemed to be the leader…
“He went to attend the pack duties- has he been informed of what’s happening right now?” I cut in!
“We did Luna Davina?” Carla responded, and I nodded, not taking my eyes off Tristan.
“You shouldn’t be here, you witch!” Candace stormed in with bloodshot eyes.
“I knew something was off about you.” She sobbed, trying to get closer, oh! Not even closer, she’s close to Tristan already, as she tried to touch his arms and I stopped her, I won’t let that slide!
“Get your stinking hands off-you are the uninvited guest we have in this room. I cut in. And it will be better if you can kindly take the exit as no one has the right to come close to what’s mine!!!” That being said with gritted teeth, I roughly dropped her hand and she looked at me in awe!
“You low-ranked bitch from an abandoned chute- No one talks to the Luna like that, not in my presence!” His cold and hegemony voice came out slowly with energy and anger…
“Tris-tan!” My voice quivered.
