Christian's Lycan had been feeling cranky ever since he left for a meeting with the other's Alphas that morning. His Lycan had been giving him a hard time, whispering into his head all through the morning and making sure that Christian didn't have a moment to himself.
He wondered why his Lycan was acting up and when the meeting ended, he headed to his mansion. A home that was big yet lonely to him. He stared at his Rolex wristwatch every minute checking the time to see how long he had spent outside his home.
"you okay?" Stefan, his friend questioned him. Ever since he was banished from heaven, he had been by his side and searched all the earth for the woman he needed to kill to return to heaven and be freed from the earthly body he has.
Christian groaned and shook his head. "my Lycan has been on my nerves since. He is acting as if something is about to happen," he explained to his friend.
Stefan could only stare and do nothing because he had no idea how Christian felt at that moment. "how long until we reached the mansion?" Christian demanded.
"Thirty minutes, your majesty," Connor, the king's driver answered from the Driver's Seat. "we shall soon arrive at the castle," he assured him.
Christian laid his head back and closed his eyes. A few minutes later, he felt someone tapping him on the shoulder. it's was Stefan and he didn't need anyone to tell him that they had arrived at his mansion. His own personal Hell.
"We are here," Stefan announced.
Christian nodded in response and came out of the white limousine. He headed towards the mansion accompanied by ten guards including his friend Stefan. Every guard that saw him bowed their hands. As he neared the doors, he suddenly felt a build-up of emotions. A scent of raspberry infiltrated his nostrils. As he walked through the doors, he followed the smell of the raspberry while his friend wondered what was going on with him.
"What's going on with you Christian?" He asked.
"It's her, she is finally here," Christian answered and headed to the left side of the lobby where the new maids had gathered.
His Lycan shouted mate, mate in his head. "The king is here!" One of the guards announced his presence as he reached his destination.
He had finally found the person that had put him through pains and sorrow over the last ten thousand years. Christian walked into the midst of the new maids and sniffed the air finding his mate. "Your highness," Madam Anita trembled where she knelt. "What brings you here?"
"Where is she?" Christian growled as he continued sniffing the new maids until he got to Katrina. He sniffed her and growled yet again causing Katrina to shake terribly where she knelt. "So it's you," Christian chuckled. "Raise your head," he commanded in a stern tone.
Katrina slowly raised her head at the command of the king. "Your high...." Her voice trembled as her eyes met with the kings.
"Mate," Christian's Lycan shouted in his head. Christian looked taken back as he couldn't believe what he saw. The woman he was meant to kill to find redemption and returned to his throne in heaven had the same face as Veronica and that's not all. The woman was his mate and omega, the lowest of them all.
"Impossible," Christian almost lost his balance if not for Stefan who held him back from falling. "You!" He shouted. "What are you doing here?" Christian growled at her.
Fearing that she had disrespected the king, Katrina bowed her head and apologized to him. "I'm sorry your highness," she said.
"What are you doing here?" Christian repeated.
"Your majesty, she is one of the maids that got accepted to work here," Madam tried explaining but the king shouted at her, his emotions got the best of him. The heavens had given the impossible assignment. He couldn't kill his mate. They had twisted his fate so that he couldn't return to heaven but Christian wasn't going to let them have their way.
He ordered his guards to pull Katrina up. "How are you here! What are you doing here?"
"I..." Katrina shook terribly and wondered why the king was against her. "I came f... For..." She stuttered unable to form words.
"Throw her out here right now!" He ordered.
"What?" Madam Anita and Katrina both said at the same time.
"Why? What... Did I do so wrong?" She demanded. "I...."
"You ask questions little girl," Christian scoffed and grabbed her throat.
"Christian," Stefan shouted his name and tried to stop him but Christian glared at him with his purple eyes that had started to glow.
"You don't deserve to be her little girl. Leave before I lose my patience," he advised and let go of her throat.
Katrina gasped for breath as Christian's hand left her throat but she couldn't deny the sparks she felt when his hand touched her throat. She hadn't expected the king to be handsome and at the same time scary. Not even his well sharp jawline and beautiful purple eyes could define his personality. To Katrina, the king was indeed beautiful like the morning sun. She had never seen anyone with white long hair perfectly trimmed like the king.
Christian hair reached his shoulders and although he was muscular, he was still lean, unlike his shoulders which were bulky in size.
Katrina's eyes roamed around the king's body and when their eyes met. Time stopped for her and it was just the two of them but when Christian's hand made contact with her face, she realized that she had been fantasizing about the king not realizing that he was angry at her.
Katrina's face whipped to the other side and everything went silent for a few seconds. She had been slapped by her mate. The one who she was supposed to spend her life with. "Were you not taught that it's rude to stare?" Christian questioned and turned towards Madam Anita. "I want her out of these premises now!" He ordered.
Reality shone on Katrina's face and she realized that the king would never have wanted an omega as a mate. She fell to her knees and begged him. "Your majesty, I apologize for my rude behavior," she shouted. "Please give me a second chance! I need this job!" Hot tears rolled down Katrina's face as she thought of the promises she made to her sister and the debtors she owed. "Please!"
"How dare you refused the king's order!" Christian's voice boomed and caused her heart to stop for a second. "You don't deserve a second chance!" He shouted at her and turned to leave but Katrina grabbed his leg.
"Have mercy on me, your majesty," she cried out.
"How dare you!" Christian shouted. "You dare touched a king!" He kicked her hands with his shoe.
The guards grabbed Katrina and pulled her up. "Apologise your highness, I shall have her taken away!" Madam Anita declared.
The guards tried to Katrina away but she struggled against them. She couldn't leave yet when her sister needed her. "Your highness!' She shouted. " I'll do whatever you want me to do! Have mercy!" Katrina cried out as she was dragged away.
"Wait!" Christian shouted.
The guards dragged Katrina away and stopped. "You will do anything for this job right?" Christian chuckled and moved closer to her. "Kneel on a ground full of pebbles for two days and I might give you a job," Christian told her.
At first, when Katrina heard what Christian said, she didn't respond. "You can't do it?" He asked.
Katrina lowered her head and then thought about her sister. "I will do it," she declared.
Christian face brightened and took her acceptance as a challenge. "Good," he snapped his fingers and the guards let her go. "I shall be watching and if you shake, I'll throw you out!" He declared and walked away with his guards trailing after him.
Katrina gasped for breath as the king walked away. She had found her mate that turned out to be the king of werewolves and he didn't want her.
Fate must be playing a terrible game with her, she thought.
