Jackia's Point Of View
The alpha left the room to check what was up, but I just stood still. The fact that I slept on the couch all night without feeling it or that I had to get myself up and run for the rest of the day was more exhausting for me.
I managed to get myself to my room, and my maid joined in later on.
"So tell me, how was it?" She asked me as I looked at her stunned
"How was what?" I asked her bank, pretending to not know what she was asking me.
"Come on, I know you are knowledgeable about what I am asking, and I will not ask Again if it makes you uncomfortable." My maid said, walking towards the clothing.
"It was fine, nothing much," I said, blushing even though I knew deep down that it wasn't.
"But how come he slept in the room next to yours? Don't you dare deny it. We maids have eyes everywhere, and we know every single thing that happens in the palace, both in and out," she said, looking at me directly.
As I laughed away, "I am so sorry; since you knew why then did you ask?" I asked her as she walked towards the bed and said,
"I just wanted to know. Let's just say I wanted to know if you would be truthful, but, as you can see, you failed" She said, Showing me a dress.
"This is the dress you will be wearing to cook for the alpha, '' she said, handing over to me the tight-fitted dress with an overall black net that went below my knee.
"What are you saying?".
I asked her again as she looked at me,
"The next part of the game is to cook; it's to be sure if you have a taste for good food and will be able to take up cooking for the alpha when the maids aren't doing it well, as the alpha must be properly fed".
I looked at her in astonishment, and it was really baffling as I got lost. Was she really saying that a time would come and I would have to feed the hungry alpha? Like, I can't believe that, not in any way,
"Are you being serious right now?".
She shook her head in response as I stared right at her.
"Okay, tell me, what would you think if I told you I have never been to the kitchen with my mother ever?" I said this to her as she looked at me, not believing the words that came out of my mouth.
"You must be joking right now," she said to me as I shook my head in response.
"No, I wasn't," I said as I stood up and paced around, as I did not know why I was getting worked up over everything. I knew how hard it was going to get.
But I shouldn't be bothered about it in any way, since I have always wanted to get the hell out of the palace and get back to my position as the elite warrior and not get entangled in a useless position like that of Luna.
"Well, that isn't my problem, as I would gladly be evicted by tonight, but before that, what was that noise I heard earlier today?". I asked my maid, who looked at me and shook her head in disbelief.
" Oh that was the dramatic Layla, who was having a terrible dream and decided that she wanted to see the alpha by calling his name," she said as she asked me to spin around. The dressing is to see if she has missed something or not before concluding on this dress.
"Oh, I see. I hope she's okay now," I said sympathetically to the maid, who smirked.
"Please tell me, my dear Jackia, what is it that you want to cook for the alpha today?" She asked me teasingly as I looked at her.
"You definitely know that I can't cook, and you still want to ask what I intended to cook. I don't even know how to roast steak properly, my dear," I said to her as we both laughed at my silly jokes but jokes that were the actual truth.
"I know I am sorry; I just wanted to make sure you know what you are doing. Just cook whatever it is you want to, but that isn't the end of the game; at least try not to kill him, whatever you intend to do for him.".
My maid said as I rolled my eyes at her, and my wolf at that time decided she wanted to tease me, "Well, I guess we would have to put together three different ingredients we eventually come across and match them together like an experiment.".
I laughed so hard as I made my way up and rolled my eyes at my wolf, who was making fun of me. "So, Fisher, what do I do all day as I wait for the cooking challenge?, or am I to sit all day and watch as my life goes to waste in this palace?".
I sat down and watched her pick out the other accessories I would need: "Well, if you wish to spend the rest of your day outside, why not do it since you would be cooking all day long?".
She said to me as I went to the washroom and took a quick bath without her help, and I was more than grateful for that as I came right out and changed into a pair of jeans and a simple top since the cooking event had not started yet.
But I felt the urge to let my wolf out for a quick run into the woods before I came back to the palace, so I picked another set of clothes and made my way right out.
This led into the garden, and it was beautiful. I could see the purple hibiscus weren't out yet; I guess it wasn't the season yet, but there were flowers that I can't remember their names at the moment, but it was a beautiful view.
I made my way down the path that led into the woods. As soon as I entered the woods, I placed the clothes in my mouth with a pair of shoes, as they were of no use, and their shape shifted as fast as I could, as I could feel the adrenaline flowing through my veins.
My wolf wiggled its tail as she was out after such a long time, and I ran right for the woods with the clothes in my mouth, jumping and avoiding branches. I ran for a while until I made my way towards the river and decided to rest as I placed the cloth on a rock and moved close to the river to drink from it when I heard a familiar voice.
