Chapter 57
***LUCY'S POV(25YEARS AGO)***
I flattered my eyes open as I felt a bright light trying to seep in through my eyelids. I groaned as the bright light tortured my eyes "God I think I am blind now!" I whisper yelled as I put a large pillow on my face to cover my eyes.Where is that light even coming from,ugh Catherine probably opened the curtains again just to torture me.
"I think your eyes are perfectly fine,mate."a husky male voice said cutting my thoughts short. That definitely wasn't Catherine,why was there a male voice in my room!I quickly removed the pillow from my face and my eyes opened wide as I examined the figure in front of me. I almost passed out as everything returned to me,I was a slave in werewolf territory,in his room and on his bed. He was standing at the edge of the bed looking at me with a hint of amusement dancing in his eyes.
I cursed myself inwardly for always forgetting my reality every morning right after my sleep. I always forgot because in my dreams I was back home with my childhood best friend Catherine,my mother and my father. We were together again and I was a little happy girl with no problems in the world.There were no monstrous wolves wiping out the human race, everything was perfect before these monsters came into our world!
"Are you even listening to me?" the Kings voice cut in.
I jumped a little before looking up at his amazing strongly built figure,he was already in a formal grey suit and black dress shoes."uh,sorry I phazed out"
He looked at me with a blank expression for a few seconds, probably thinking I was mentally ill or something."Right,get up and make sure this room is spotless. In a few hours or less someone is gonna come up here and explain to you what your new duties are."
"Oh,okay."I said getting off the bed and lowering my dress that had ridden up during my sleep. I blushed and hoped the king didn't see anything.
"She will also be bringing you a new clean uniform and some toiletries. Feel free to place them in the bathroom."he said clearing his throat a little,I found that weird. It felt like he was uncomfortable talking about this,maybe I was just imagining things.I always imagine things,did beasts even get uncomfortable?I doubt that."Do you phaze out a lot?,don't make that a habit here."
I blushed in embarrassment,"I'm sorry,I will try not to do that."Wow Lucy,now he definitely knows you are insane.
He raised a dark eyebrow at me,as if trying to figure out something before silently walking out and I let out a long breath of relief.I have never felt so awkward in my life!This was crazy,he let me sleep in his bed and that was the most peaceful sleep I have ever had!
I felt ashamed though,for completely sleeping like a dead girl. What if I touched him in my sleep or kicked him,no!I wouldn't be alive if I had even laid a finger on him. So that means I didn't ,yes!
I spread his bed and waited for whoever was supposed to bring me a new uniform. I sighed and decided to peek in the bathroom,I guessed it was one of the two doors in the room. I opened the first double doors and they reviewed a large walk in closet full of suits on the other side mainly black suits,then the other opposite side had shoes. He really had expensive taste,his watches looked like they were made from real gold. I sighed ,I have always dreamt of being a rich spoiled woman but that was never going to happen now. Being rich meant I could buy myself anything I wanted without a problem,I could travel without worrying about the expenses.
I walked out and closed the doors,I didn't touch anything. If I did he would find out and probably chop my hands off or worse eat them.I opened the next door a few feet from the double doors and was met by the largest bathroom I have ever seen. It was ridiculously large,I mean who even needs such a huge bathroom anyways. It was like a true giant lived in this house. The bathtub was like a mini swimming pool but with the shallow end because it didn't look really deep. The most amazing part was that it was a golden bathtub.
Most of the things in the bathroom were either gold or silver grey. The shower was large enough to fit five people.There was another door that led into a small toilet,"Thank God! Something is actually small in this room..."I scoffed. I decided the king wouldn't mind if I used his shower and toilet,so I would after this person arrives with my toiletries.I just ended up using the toilet.
When I was done I walked out and heard a knock on the door. I furrowed my eyebrows, should I answer it?I walked to the door and slowly opened it to find Emma glaring at me holding a toiletry bag,a folded grey towel and a dress."hi..."
She ignored me and let herself in pushing me out of the way. I stumbled on my feet and steadied myself before closing the door behind her. "Why in the world would the king let a servant girl sleep in his room!"she sniffed when she dropped my things on the bed,"did you sleep on his bed too!?"she asked with a horrified expression.
Oh God,she knows,do I lie to her- but she knows. I looked up at the ceiling like it was the most interesting thing in the room "Yes-i did?"I said it more of like a question.
"Oh my Goodness!"Emma screeched in a high pitched voice making me flinch and stare at her,she looked as if she had just seen a ghost "How?,was he sleeping there too?Did you drug our king just so you could rape him you filthy human slave!?"she growled.
I scoffed annoyed at her ridiculous accusations forgetting she was a werewolf that could hurt me,"Excuse me!,I would never rape a dog. Where would I even get the drugs plus the guards would have found them after all they searched me,I literally own nothing. "I wanted to yell at her but I told her this calmly. I didn't need her to rip my head off yet.
"Then why?He doesn't even let a whore sleep overnight yet he let you sleep,there,with him-you are just a slave!Did he fuck you-"
"No!"I cut her off,"he didn't touch me."
She looked at me confused and frustrated as to why her king let a human slave sleep on his bed with him. I was also confused by a few things,this Lycan king acted weirdly whenever he was around me and I hated it.
"I don't get it,"she said sitting at the edge of the bed
I sighed "me too,your king is kind of weird."
She looked at me definitely annoyed,"don't ever insult our king like that. You are the only one who is weird in this Castle."
I wanted to roll my eyes at her but obviously I didn't, I just stood there awkwardly. If she was human I would have thrown a few fists on her face.
"Anyways,don't think just because the king allowed you to stay in his room you can get all comfortable. I bet it's nothing special,he probably finds you excessively pitiful.Do you understand?"she asked with a raised eyebrow.
I should have scoffed,did I look like I cared if that beast liked me or not. In fact I didn't need his pity,next time I am going to stick a knife in his chest and bury it deep inside his heart until his life slips out of him. Good thing I am sleeping with him in the same room,I just have to be patient and sneaky ."Yes,I understand ma'am."
She nodded,"okay. Your duties are nolonger in the kitchen or anywhere else that's not in the Kings quarters. You will be cleaning the Kings quarters and you will respect everyone you see here. If you thought the maids and servants below were cruel you are in for a big surprise. The royals despise humans and their entire existence. So good luck,I will be seeing you here and there if you are lucky."
I was speechless,I didn't want to be anywhere near the royals or whatever. I am definitely dead. I should probably just kill myself rather than let them kill me.Most of my friends had done it,we made a promise to each other. You own your life,you take your life before they take it from you.
Flashback
"What do we do Catherine?!" I asked her in horror,they were outside the store were the six of us were hiding behind a counter.
Jonathan looked at us in defeat "You own your life,you take your life before they take it from you."he said emotionless,we knew what he meant but we didn't want to give in to those words yet. My mother always taught us to have faith that hope was always there!
"No,not yet Jonathan,please let's just wait them out!"Catherine said her voice filled with pure desperation before we all shivered in fear as the viscious growls increased.
"Wait them out!They are outside the doors,they can smell us. They are playing with us and igniting our fear so they can chew on our bones after having their fun!"Faith a blond headed teenage girl whisper yelled ,she was the youngest amongst the six of us. She was just fifteen years old and brave.
Catherine sighed at them "let's wait and see if they actually enter the damn shop."
"You own your life ,you take your life before the demons take it from you."Jonathan said slitting his throat with a razor blade we didn't even know he was holding and I screamed as Jake's hand covered my mouth to muffle my screams.I cried as I watched a pool of blood cover the floor ,so much blood-how could someone lose so much I blood. His life left him so easily leaving his cadaver laying uselessly on the floor-just like that Jonathan was gone.
