A Whole 360

Hunnie



I couldn't believe my mate was Aldrerix all along. The Demon-Wolf King.



It all made sense. Who stumbles upon a large creature like him and communicates directly through a mind link?



My body jittered every time I think about him and his words. It's been a week since I was last alone with him.



Only seeing him a few times in the hall walking with important beings. I would always get butterflies when I knew he was only a few yards away from me. 



I definitely could feel our bond now. 
I understood how it all worked. Sensing and feeling him around the castle. 



The past few days I made it my mission to become friends with all the maids, as I am The Demon King's mate and would have to be friendly with the ones serving us and making sure to give them the utmost respect. 



When it came time for bed, I'd sleep naked in case my mate came to visit me, but when he didn't, I wasn't upset. 



As he said to wait for him and I'll do just that!



His magical powers were so superb!! My mate is majestically strong and I know our time will come soon, I couldn't wait to explore what other powers he may harness. 



Although for the past three days, no one royal has been seen around the castle. Not Giyah nor Nyku was seen. 




Not even The Queen-to-be, or the guards!



Now that I think of it, I last saw Giyah, and Luisi three days ago too. I've been taking orders from Vehonia lately and cleaning with other younger maids I haven't seen before. 



They must've stayed off in The Kingdoms. I wasn't sure if that meant it was a day off for the rest of us lower ranking maids around here.



A lot of the servants were doing things they normally wouldn't do. Like swim in the lap pool, watch tv, or drink from the bar.



I stayed mostly in the dining hall, munching on sweet deserts the kitchen servants made this morning.



I was becoming obsessed with the different cultural sweets the castle had. I used to be one for not trying international foods, but now, I can't live without it.



Beginning to feel a nauseated, I paused in my indulging of all the sweets.



I made my way back to my room upstairs and slept for the rest of the day. My body was feeling a bit funny. 




I think I miss my mate. 



I can't wait til it's my turn to mark him!





                           🫀🫀🫀🫀🫀🫀🫀🫀🫀🫀🫀🫀🫀🫀🫀





The next day pain in my chest woke me. I began massaging at my heart and taking deep breaths in. Steadying my breathing and closing my eyes.



I got dressed for my normal cleaning routines. Making my way to meet with Vehonia and Opi.



I noticed the castle was filled with all the royal maids and servants for The King's mother and more guards than yesterday. They must have returned home while I slept.



That means I'll get a glimpse of my mate again. I missed him dearly and was constantly reminding myself not to give anything away about us. Like he said, knowing I am The Demon King's mate would be very dangerous for both of us right now...




I met with the other maids and followed them around the castle to help clean whatever I could. The place was already sparkling from yesterday's empty castle. 



Listening on the other maids chitchat, there was a rumor amongst the castle that the wedding already had taken place.



I was very much confused as the The King said he wasn't going to pursue his marriage with The Vampire Princess. 



"I'll still have to act like I don't know you, but no one must know you are my mate. Don't ever repeat it. Not even to me. It could be dangerous." He told me before teleporting me back to the castle that day. 



Although, I was still hurt that he hadn't come seen me or at least tell me that the wedding happened already. Almost like he forgot all about me since that day.





Dizzy spells kept taking over my head as I struggled to clean the offices today. The thoughts kept playing through my head of what the explanation could be.

I couldn't wait to be back in my bed. I might have to shake this feeling off again. 




'Knock Knock!' 





I turned to face my door just as I was about to start undressing from today's work. 




"It's Luisa Hunnie." 



I opened the door while buttoning my shirt back up. She's back.



"So sorry,  but we need help assisting The King and Queen in their chambers this evening." She says with a smile. 



Hearing that the King was in his chambers with The Queen made my chest burn even more.



I was conflicted on rejecting the assignment, but I really wanted to see my mate. Just being in his presence might relieve this heartache. 



Though, I wasn't too happy about serving The Queen. She tends to be very needy and request absurdity. I didn't understand why must we serve them in there? 



Are they holding a meeting?




That means The King will try his hardest not to acknowledge me. I wouldn't want to give anything away and put him, or myself in danger. He's a very busy man!



I must act like an honest and noble maid as well!



Luisa and I walk down the yellow staircase and towards The King's corridor.



I couldn't keep up with her as I was trying to conceal the burning sensation that was filling my heart. So I began walking slowly behind her. 



My vision was even starting to double and I was wishing I had told Luisi I wasn't feeling very well today. She might've understood and gave someone else the job...



I held onto the wall as I struggled to move my legs down the corridor to The King's chambers. 



Faint whimpers began filling the hallway. With my newly profound hearing from being turned a wolf, I could tell they were coming from a person getting hurt. 



Luisa looks back at me nervously and a crooked smile breaks onto her lips. I hurriedly let the wall go and return the crooked smile back. She shrugs her shoulders slightly and turns around again.



I sighed out. I was too nervous now to tell her I feel pained. What if we were getting punished in his room? 



The whimpers made my body shiver and hot.



As we got deeper into the hall, I make out the whimpers coming from a woman. 



She sounds frantic, and the noises leaving her mouth was started to give me a headache. Is she being whipped or something?




She's too loud!




I held my head at the nauseous feeling creeping up again. 



What the hell was going on? 



The woman is sounding very awkward....and my heart racing irregular even more!



Stopping in front of The King's black wooden doors, I could now hear grunting amongst the woman's moaning coming from inside. 



Grunting from a man. 



The King...


I knew his grunts all too well. In both forms actually...



"Miss," says a guard by the door. 



He hands me a tray with a large jug of water and an older maid beside him drapes two wash cloths around my forearm. 




My heart crushed when my imagination thought of the worst. 


Where they working out in there? 


I tried insanely hard to stand up straight and take the tray from the woman.


Balancing my body and the water, I take a few steps up to the door being opened.


My vision almost goes black and I feel the tray slip from my fingers at the horrific sight my poor, naive eyes walked into.
