Seeing Unholy things

Today is the day of Coronation and the palace is buzzing with people running here and there arranging everything and preparing for the day. Emily is in the kitchen helping the other maids as there is a lot of food to be prepared. I asked her to take me with her but she declined, saying I can't handle the pressure of running along.

I am sitting alone in the room thinking about what I am going to do till I get a call from the highness to get her makeup done. I rolled my eyes at her thought, I know why she wanted me to do her makeup and why she ordered me to take care of her skincare. She wanted to get something that will help her to get me punished but whatever I do I always do right without leaving anything which will give me a remark.

There is a lot of time till the ceremony starts, until then I can go to Damien and ask him to show me the library so I can sneak into the library when the ceremony is going on. I stood up from the bed and went towards the door to exit it.

I vaguely remember the way to his office but I am just going to depend on my memory and will see if I can get to his office. I don't want to get in trouble finding his office. I am thinking about trouble more than anything from the second I step here.

Walking through all the hallways where I bumped into people but didn't dare to look at them for the fear of asking unnecessary trouble. Keeping my head down and making my legs walk fast I threaded between people toward the somewhat familiar hallway. No one was in the hallway so I hurriedly walked into the hallway and stood in front of the door which had a wolf carved onto it.

I took a deep, relieved breath, finally standing in front of my destination without any problem.

I knocked lightly on the door and waited patiently to hear his voice asking me to come in but I didn't hear anything for a minute. I knocked again to gain his attention if he was drowning in his work and not hearing anything but still, I didn't hear anything.

I placed my hand on the doorknob to try and see if it was unlocked and to my relief, twisted it to open without thinking that I was barging into someone's office without their permission.

The second I opened the door is the second I regret opening. The scene in front of me is something I can't forget that easily and it will always be imprinted in my head. Damien's eyes locked with mine in an intense gaze and my body was in flight mode not even moving an inch to turn around and get the hell out of the room.

A redhead is on her knees and Damien's hand is tangled in her red locks guiding her toward him. He has this burning fire in his eyes that made me stand still in my place. My face started to heat up with shame and embarrassment at myself for standing there like an idiot and not turning around.

I turned my body towards the door and dashed outside with a heated face and shame. I moved towards the wall and just stood there breathing so heavily feeling like my heart is going to be in my throat with the nerves.

What the hell I just saw! I had no shame that I was standing there and seeing the show he is giving. He didn't even ask me to get out nor said anything other than just looking at me. I groaned loudly cursing at myself for being an idiot and made myself a bigger idiot.

" Aiza!" I heard his voice and my body stilled and my face heated up once again. I didn't turn around, my legs glued to the ground not wanting to face him and look him in the eyes. I shouldn't have barged inside like that. It was his personal space and I just barreled, not thinking about anything.

I heard his footsteps nearing me and my heart started beating fast. What if he scolds me for intruding in his office and disturbing him? I already intruded into his head and looked at his memories and now I pushed myself into his private times.

" I….Am so sorry, you had to see that!" He stood in front of me and my head was still down, not looking at him. I shook my head like he doesn't need to apologize.

" No, I am sorry that I just barged without waiting for your permission. I shouldn't have done that." I whispered, feeling shame and embarrassment consuming me.

" Yeah, but I should have locked the door or something. I am in the wrong too." He answered and I can hear the regret in his voice.

" It's okay, can we just forget that it happened?" I raised my head to look at him and his eyes were already on me. I gave him an awkward smile fidgeting with my fingers.

" Stop with the awkwardness and we can forget about it." He laughed out loud at my wide eyes and shock. I joined him laughing wholeheartedly. If someone sees us then they will think that two idiots are laughing.

" Okay, why did you come to see me?" He asked after our laughing came to an end.

" You promised us to show the library today, that's why I came," I answered, fidgeting with my fingers once again to distract my head from thinking negatively.

" Umm, about that! I don't think it is possible, Aiza!" He confessed guiltily not making eye contact with me.

" What is not possible, Damien?" Before I can ask him why I heard his deep voice behind me making me aware of how close I stood to Damien and how he can think that something is going on between us. I don't want him to think wrong about me again.

His voice sounds angry and has an edge to it. I don't know why he is so pissed off today when he is going to get mated to his mate and announce his queen. Lora growled loudly in my head about the thought. I shook my head to not think about it and turned my body towards him to acknowledge him.

" Nothing, Your majesty! She was asking about the ingredients she needs from the market and she wants them now but I have some chores to do and saying I can't today." Damien lied through his teeth so easily not leaving anything to doubt. If he had asked me then I would have told him the truth.

When his eyes turned towards me I bowed in greeting without making any eye contact with him. I just can't look into his beautiful eyes and not get lost in them and I don't want to get called out again by him that I am throwing myself at him.
