Amira watched him, she could not
understand what was going on?
"You heard the Alpha, take her away." He waved the Gemma with a hand, something didn't seem right to her.
"Wait. I need..." She was dragged away without another word, pushed into a room, and the door slammed and locked.
She sat on the luxurious big bed with her hand around her shoulders.
The painting of the room was plain gold, and there wasn't any furniture in it except the bed. It almost looked like a prison to her but a better prison than she lived in.
She could hear the sound of angry voices outside the door and yet she couldn't move from there. There was nothing she could do because the door was locked from the outside.
She was chosen by the Alpha? It didn't seem believable to her, but why would the Alpha choose her?
She stared at her gown, it was a floral gown but gathered at the hips and flowed down her legs.
It was a dress from her mother's box, which she sewed herself. Her stepmother had raid the box and forced her to wear this. Though her dress wasn't as pretty as the others, it was her mother and it made tonight felt a little bit special.
She lay her head on the bed after taking off her shoes.
The door opened and an older woman stepped into it, she ambled to the bed and stared at her.
"Amira, you will be taken to the Alpha's bedroom tonight."
Amira lifted herself from the bed and sighed.
"You have six months to be marked and mated with the Alpha, but first off we need to take care of your bruises, it's not healing because you have no wolf." She sounded rude but Amira said nothing.
She didn't have to make mention of her not having a wolf. She knows she has no wolf.
"I brought some ointment." She sat beside Amira on the bed. "After this, I will have you ready for tonight, you will sleep in the Alpha's bedroom tonight. Take off your dress will I treat your wound, the Alpha is so unpredictable, how could he choose someone like you." She snorted.
"Someone like me? What's wrong with me? Because I have no wolf!" Amira retorted. She bit the side of her cheek, and took the woman's hand off her dress.
"Is she ready yet?!" An angry voice shouted from the door.
"Almost."
"Be snappy head servant!" The voice was gone along with his heavy foot.
"I will treat the bruises myself."
She whined at every slight discomfort she felt and rubbed the ointment on her arm.
"You should change into this. I will get rid of your dress. And you need to have a bath, the bathtub is ready."
Amira took her dress off completely, leaving just the bar and panties on.
"To the bathroom." She urged and picked up her dress.
"Do not get rid of it, keep it where you found it."
"How arrogant!"
The head servant scoffed tossing the gown back at the bed.
"There's nothing special about you, you are just an omega as I am. A lowlife, you think the alpha would change towards you, he probably picked up because you are the easiest to get rid of. Don't talk down at me." She lashed out at Amira.
She hissed and walked out of the room. Amira took her lips in and exhaled.
She hadn't expected much, and she regretted ever coming here.
She should have never stepped out of the house. She should have done all the chores in the house and stayed there.
She walked into the bathroom got on the bathing tub and had her body washed.
She came out of the bathroom after a long time, there was a nightgown she could change into which was placed on the bed. It was very transparent, and picked them up and frowned at it.
Why would she wear something like this? It was too exposed.
"What are you waiting for? Get dressed, we can't keep the Alpha waiting." The head servant scolded entering the room with a teacup.
"But this is..."
"No, but. Here we follow instructions. You do as I say and put on the dress if you do not want both of us to get in trouble." She gave the teacup to Amira. "Drink from it. It will give you some strength."
She lifted the teacup to her lips and took a sip from it.
"Now, wear the dress." She ordered.
"You are not wearing any underwear, so put that aside. Anything could get the Alpha annoyed and we will be in trouble if that happens. It seems you have no idea what you have gotten yourself into." She took the cups from your hand and placed them on the table. She drew up the curtains.
"Look, it's the night of the blue moon. A perfect night for mating between wolves. The Alpha knew what he was doing when he picked today as the day of choosing his mate. The blue moon brings blessings, and your mating might bring blessings to the pack. As long as you are a Virgin..." She cleared her throat, and pointed towards the door. "...Sebastian will be here to take you away soon." She looked away from the window, Amira stared at the window as well, her soft gaze rested on the Blue Moon. She heard so too, the blue moon brings blessings from the Moon Goddess. But what blessing could it bring to her?
This wasn't what she wanted, she wanted to finger her mate now that she was eighteen, but having no wolf had made her dream impossible, she wouldn't be able to find him and now she's stuck in the palace walls and had no idea what is going to happen to her.
Did the Alpha makes a mistake choosing her.
There was a knock on the door a moment after she wore the nightgown. The head servant placed a robe around her.
"Bring the girl."A deep baritone growled from the other end of the door.
