Rose's POV
I groaned and covered my eyes with my forearm when I was greeted with bright light. Can someone close the curtain please? I sat up slowly and tried to comprehend what was going on.
Did I have a party yesterday? On what occasion though? If not, why am I in a hotel? Which hotel is it though?
Thousands of unanswered questions raced through my mind which made me groan in annoyance. I got out of bed and admired the beautiful room. I've never been to a hotel or any place so beautiful and majestic as this.
The room was much bigger than my bedroom, bathroom and kitchen combined. I was lying on a king-sized, gray bed, a floor-length window to my right and a staircase leading to the second floor of the room to my left.
'Hey.'
I jumped in surprise when a voice spoke in my head because they were not the ones with whom I share my crazy ideas every day.
'I am not just an ordinary voice, darling.'
My eyes widened as I heard the voice again. This definitely wasn't the voice I was familiar with. It didn't belong to me because I don't have such an elegant voice. But the voice in my head was gentle yet demanded respect. It was one of the voices that thousands of people would fall in love instantly and cower in fear at its authority when they heard it.
'What do you mean by that? What are you doing in my head? Am I dreaming? Am I going crazy?'
'No. Let me make it clear. You're a werewolf and I am your wolf. Do you wanna know more about your true identity or do you want surprises for later?'
'That would be nice but before you reveal it, why don't you give me some heads up about the things I will have to do later because I literally have no idea what I am supposed to do with my life.'
'Hm. Well, you are half human and half wolf if that makes sense. That's what you really are. Both of your parents were werewolves so you got your genes from them. As to why they kept it from you, you will find out later when you meet them but for now, you have to listen to the story.'
I was about to tell her to go ahead when the door to the room opened and in entered a kind-looking woman in her fifties wearing a weird costume.
"Hello. My name is Marthana. How are you dear? Did you sleep well?" the kind-looking woman asked me gently and I just stared at her.
"Eh, yes. I slept very well. Thank you. I am Rosalind by the way." I spoke as I was brought out from my daze.
"May I ask where I am? I am not familiar with this place and the situation I am in right now." I told her as I got out of bed.
"You're in his majesty's room and as to what you are doing here, I have no idea dear. You will have to ask him yourself." She smiled sweetly at me and I returned the smile.
"His majesty?" "Yes, Tyler Reinhart, the cr-" "Tyler? This is his room? What am I doing here?" I asked her as I looked around.
"I don't know, dear. He asked me to help you bathe before he left. Would you like to eat something before you take a shower?" "Sure. Thank you." I smiled at her and she shook her head before telling me it was fine.
In a minute or two, she walked in with food and after I was done, she led me to the huge bathroom to shower. She even offered to help but I kindly refused and enjoyed the shower on my own. There were a whole bunch of men's toiletries but there was a set of products for women too so I washed my hair and body with those stuff.
Marthana handed me dresses after I was done. She helped me dry my hair, which I was really grateful for. She soon left me alone after that and I looked around, admiring the beauty of the room.
'Can I start the story now?' The voice in my head spoke and I gave her permission as I stood infront of the window and looked outside the calm and green forest.
'Your parents have quite a complicated history of their own and I hope it will be their story to tell, not mine. But I will tell you this, they used to be influential people in the werewolf kingdom. So, you're one as well.
You have a whole lot to find out about your own self and there are a bunch of things you will need to know about my background. You can always find out your own identity with the help of your parents, so I will tell you a brief story about myself.'
'Wait! I would really love to hear the stor-'
Before I could continue, I felt someone tap my shoulder and I yelled at Tyler when I saw him behind me. Why does he do this to me all the time? After yelling at him and a few minutes later, I met his parents and when they said they knew my parents, I was shocked.
There were so many questions I wanted to ask my parents right now and my heart was racing a mile a second as I dialed my mom's number from Tyler's phone as mine wasn't working.
"Mom?" "Hello? Hey honey. What's up?" I could hear her carefree and calming voice on the other side and it helped me calm my racing heart a bit.
"Mom, I am in a very complicated situation and I have a lot of questions for you and dad." There was silence from the other line and I had to check several times if she hung up on me.
"What situation honey?" I could tell she was a bit nervous and I frowned slightly.
"Mom, it's a long story. Can I see you and dad right now?" "Sure honey. Where are you?"
"I will text you the address but do you happen to know where Jack and Jade Rheinharts live? That's the place I am in right now. They said you guys were friends." There was a long silence at the other line and I waited for her reply.
After waiting for an eternity, she finally spoke with her shaky voice. "We will be there, honey. We will be there." "Ok mom. I will wait for both of you. Be careful on the way." she hummed and ended the call. After staring at the phone for a while, I turned around and went to the place where Tyler and her parents were seated.
"Are they on the way?" I could hear a slight excitement in Jack's voice and I nodded my head.
"Ok, we will wait for them then. Till then, I will leave you guys alone." Jack and Jade stood up and left before I could tell them they were ok to stay with me.
I and Tyler just stared at each other, trying to comprehend the situation but to no avail. Both of us fell back on the bed and stared at the ceiling.
"Can I sleep till my parents arrive?" I asked him and he tried to shrug but it was funny considering the fact that he was lying down. I laughed and closed my eyes as darkness consumed me.
