"I... I met the Queen, isn't that enough?!" I asked, staring into his eyes, wanting to know everything about this ritual with a heavy heart.
Princess Elendra never said anything about this ritual.
She said entering the palace would make me his concubine, but not about consuming the night with Alpha King!
I turned to look at Lilly, who was staring at me and Geran with the same look.
"It should have been taught to you even before entering the palace, Concubine Elendra," Geran asked in shock like something was wrong. Yes, everything fucking thing is wrong! I am not supposed to be there! I am not supposed to take Princess Elendra's place, but I did... now I got myself in trouble, so I should solve this myself if I didn't plan on getting killed along with everyone.
I let out a deep breath and turned to the entrance, replying, "Let me learn everything slowly. I am sure that Alpha King is busy so he won't see me tonight as he didn't even care to see me this afternoon". There was no one, and I felt a string of hope that the Alpha king would ignore me and I didn't have to go through any of these rituals.
Geran was worried, but he smiled and replied "Maybe".
"I am so tired. Let's have some dinner," I suggested, changing the topic.
"Let me get you some food, concubine Elendra," Geran said with a small smile. getting up from his chair in the veranda.
"Thank you," I said with a smile as I saw him walking towards the entrance gate. Then I turned to Lilly, who was starting at Geran with a warm smile.
"Wow, wow, wow, what is happening here? Someone told me that they were getting a bad vibe from a certain person and smiling at them," I said with a huge smile, teasing my friend.
She stopped, turned to me, and shook her head, arguing, "No! I didn't! I just tried to look through him... you know".
"Yes, I trust you with the work," I said with a smile, teasing her.
"My Princess!" she said, getting close and hugging me, feeling so shy for the first time.
"Ok, ok, now tell me everything. I know you guys were talking about something while I was taking care of the room," I asked, staring into her beautiful eyes that were shining.
"Did we? I don't think so!" she said, avoiding my eyes.
I got to know something was going on in her head, so I warned her "I will be happy if you like someone, but you should remember our situation, okay?". She breathed out a sigh and nodded, her lips curled into a smile as she gave me a hug and I hugged back.
I released the hug after a few minutes and sat back comfortably, looking at the most beautiful sky with 3 moons shining so brightly.
I never asked the meaning of these 3 moons and the 2 suns. What does it represent? or is it different each time I see it? because each time I look at it, I feel different and I find it looks different. I shook my head and got out of those thoughts.
Maybe thinking too much.
I turned to Lilly, who was looking at the entrance and waiting for Geran.
"He will come, don't worry," I said, getting her attention. She flinched and turned to look at me and replied "I am only waiting for him because I am hungry! Don't think any stupid things in that small head".
"I am not... I just told you he will come soon. That's it and nothing else," I said with a bright smile, teasing her.
She was about to argue back but was cut off by Geran's voice "Sorry, I can only get this, but next time, I will fight to get more. Don't worry, Concubine Elendra".
We both turned and saw Geran carrying a few things in his hand.
He placed them on the table and sat with us. I nodded at him, while Lilly started to take out everything and it did really smell so good.
"It smells so good! I said with a smile, placing the dishes on my plate and starting to have them.
Both Lilly and Geran sat there, looking at me and not touching anything. I was confused so I stopped and asked them "What's wrong? Why aren't you guys eating it?".
"Our Master should eat first," Both said at the same time, and I was shocked. Did they look at me like a master, this entire time?
I shook my head a little and said "When it comes to food, let's keep this Master and servant relationship aside and enjoy our dish and one more thing. I don't like to have my food alone".
They nodded and started to have thier dinner with me too. I smiled as I went back to staring at the 3 beautiful moons and asked unintentionally "What do these 3 moons represent?".
"You... You don't know about that?" Geran asked in shock like I asked something stupid or something that everyone knew.
I shook my head a little and turned to Lilly, who was staring at me with her face filled with a mixture of shock and confusion.
Then he took a sigh, claiming himself, and said "Maybe, Human doesn't know these things". I gulped, realizing that I just asked something that everyone knew.
"These 3 moons and 2 suns represent the 5 races in this world. The first moon represents us, werewolves or more likely the Alpha King. The brightness it emits is the strength of the Alpha King and the Werewolf Kingdom. As you can see, they are so bright, which means the Werewolf Kingdom is strong under the Alpha King rule. The moon next to us is Vampire, thier kingdom is strong and they only live in the darkness. They have a love-hate relationship with the other 2 suns because of it. 3rd one is human, which is the smallest one. The 2 suns represent the Kingdom of Lions and the Kingdom of Dragons. They both have the power of fire" He explained everything like I was a small kid.
I really hope that he doesn't tell this to anyone so, I won't be put on the doubt list. We did talk a few things about the werewolf kingdom and it helped me gain some knowledge about everything that I am going to handle ... or should I say hide?
I shook my head, as I got up, relaxing myself so I could go to my room for a nice sleep.
"Concubine Elendra" A forgine voice stopped me from moving, as I saw a few maids that I saw this morning in the main palace walking inside mine. I gulped as I walked down, asking "yes".
"We are here in the order of Queen to take you to the main palace for your night" She spit out those words like I must be happy but I am not!
I forced a smile and replied "Yes" because I knew for sure that I couldn't refuse and if I did, then I would look like a proud that rejected Alpha King, whom I married.
I walked down the steps and turned to Lilly, who looked worried, as I gave her a small smile and followed this group of maids, that didn't talk, just walked to the main palace, which is so fucking far from the place that I am staying.
I gulped, as my heart shivered, thinking about my fate after tonight. I never thought that my first time was going to be in another world and the person is none other than a powerful Werewolf, an Alpha king!
They walked me to a room, that was filled with so many different kinds of dresses, jewels, and makeup. I was shocked to find all these things and didn't understand why I was there.
The maids made me sit in front of a most beautiful silver mirror that is decorated with gold, diamonds, and some precious stones.
'Do they have these things too?
Those maids started to work with my hair and my makeup. I was frustrated because I never did any of these things, even in my world, Earth.
So it kind of feels a little uncomfortable but I like it because it is a new experience.
After like an hour, they were done with my makeup and hair, and it looked so beautiful. I never thought that I could be this pretty?!
"She is so beautiful, right?!".
"Yes, Now I kind of understand why Alpha King accepted the offer"
"He doesn't take women that are not pretty, so I am sure she must be beautiful".
I was confused by thier comment! Did they just say that Alpha King accepted the offer to marry me... I mean Princess Elendra?! Didn't I hear that he forced the Human king to give her as a promise or something?!
What the actual fuck is going on?!
