Godiva PoV.
I briefly glanced at the man whom Castor called Beta. He was the same person I saw when I first came to Castor’s apartment. I understood why his eye color changed back then; he was a werewolf, just like Castor and Pollux.
He lowered his head slightly when I passed by him to exit Castor’s room. I was awkward with his attitude and also didn’t understand why he was like that. I’m still curious about the attitude of the werewolves in this house.
Why are they so pushy? I’d only just met Castor, but he was already about to get married. Everything about Melucci confused and intrigued me. Especially since they were werewolves, which I knew were beasts of the wild.
Am I going to be the twin males’s mate? And they were willing to share; it was beyond belief. I shook my head as I thought about it all. Walking after a middle-aged woman in a black uniform with no white lace, I could already tell that this woman was probably the head servant of this house.
“This way, Luna.”
“Uhm, sorry, my name is Godiva. Ma’am.”
“By the Moon Goddess. Forgive me, Luna Godiva. We must call you Luna because you are Alpha Castor’s and Pollux’s mate. I also beg you not to call me by that appellation.”
I was so surprised when the woman lowered her head into a bow. I approached her and held her shoulders to stand back up. This was too much, because I’m not someone who wants to be honored like that.
The woman instead retreated back and moved further away from me. Seeing her attitude made me feel even worse. Was Castor such a fierce master of the house that even his servant was acting like that to me?
“Your name is Iride, right?”
“Yes, Luna.”
“Does Castor make very strict rules in this house?”
“Alpha Castor and Alpha Pollux are our superiors. We must abide by all their rules, including respecting you, Luna Godiva.”
“Did I put you in a difficult position?”
“No Luna. We will indeed always respect you as Alpha’s mate.”
Iride kept her head down without looking at me. I bit my lip as I thought about her words. I didn’t want to make things difficult for anyone in this house. If that was the rule, I decided to follow the rules of this house.
“Okay. I understand. Can you not bow to me like that? It honestly makes me feel bad. You can just listen to my words, okay?”
“Okay, Luna.”
I was glad that Iride didn’t make me feel awkward anymore after she raised her face. I smiled kindly at her, and she smiled back hesitantly at first. I walked after her to a room right next to Castor’s.
Once inside the room, I already saw my suitcase and other belongings already in this room. This room was more spacious than the first one, and I liked it. I walked to the bed, whose sheets were made of silk and beige. I liked the beige color.
The best part was that I could see that my bed was like a queen’s bed with four threaded rods in each corner, and the bed was so soft. My gaze was distracted when Iride took me to the door at the right of the bed and showed me the room inside.
“Wow.”
“Alpha prepared it for you, Luna. Every morning, there will be an omega to help you pick out your clothes and fittings. Alpha Castor also asked me to provide any other clothing you might choose to wear. Today you will go buy some clothes with Alpha.”
“But this is already a lot, Iride.”
“Everything is for you. Alpha Castor and Pollux have planned everything for their mate. Would you like to wear something special for today’s event?”
“I’ll just wear the clothes from my suitcase first. I’m still surprised by all this. Is that okay?”
“Of course, Luna. You have the right to wear what you want. Would you like to be made up?”
“Gosh, I’ll just be like this. I never make up.”
“You’re already beautiful, Luna.”
Our conversation got better after the compromise. Iride was no longer bowing, and I was getting used to her special treatment of me. After finishing explaining about my day at the boutique to order my wedding dress, Iride left my room.
I walked into a room with many partitions for clothes hanging to my left and right. I picked up a pair of khaki-colored material trousers and a cream-colored long-sleeved blouse with small red flowers. Indeed, when I looked straight at the long room in front of me, I was stunned by the rows of assorted women’s shoes that looked brand new.
My eyes immediately fell on the white sneakers with beige laces. I immediately picked them up. Surprisingly, the size of these shoes fits my feet. Ah, of course Castor must have known about it. He was like a stalker, sometimes making me cringe but also making me helpless.
“Bye, bye, my old shoes,” I muttered as I remembered my worn-out shoes.
I quickly changed my clothes and left the room as soon as I finished putting lip balm on my lips. I hoped I wouldn’t embarrass him when we were at the boutique later. I encouraged myself after closing the door.
“Godiva?”
I turned around and saw Castor, who was walking towards me. I observed the expression on his face, but I could not interpret his expression. He touched my shoulder with one hand and stroked my hair with his other hand.
“Yes,” I said softly.
“Wait downstairs. I need to talk to Pollux first. One of us will accompany you to the boutique. It could be Pollux; I hope you’re willing to go with him.”
“I’ll be fine.”
“Good.”
He kissed my forehead gently. I responded to his words with a smile. Castor’s facial expression briefly changed to be adorned with a smile but immediately returned to the way it was before he walked away from me.
I kept thinking positively to get through my day well. At least today, I should try to keep my emotions stable when I’m with Pollux later. Hopefully, what Castor said about Pollux is true.
I went down the stairs to the first floor. I walked into a large room with a long sofa. I sat myself down and became engrossed in the softness of the expensive sofa until I felt it in slow motion.
What kind of business were the two werewolf twins in Burze running? They are still earning money for their lives, aren’t they? I thought about that as I observed the items in this house that I felt were expensive.
“Do they have a big company?”
I had forgotten to check my phone because I was thinking about them. I saw several messages from Kayleigh showering me with teasing emoticons. I also saw a message from Alfonso with words of encouragement, like he used to do on weekends for me.
Alfonso already considers me his daughter after his only daughter died of leukemia three years ago. He’s a very good old man, and he’s the one I’ve been pouring my heart out to all these years. I like Alfonso and think of him as my own father.
“Morning, sweet pea.”
