Chapter 9

CHAPTER 9
I sat outside the room located in the hospital, waiting patiently for Kurt's arrival. The driver of the chariot was waiting outside the hospital building.

Based on the fact that we have spent a very long time at the hospital, I guess we won't go to the Omega level anymore.

I looked to my left and I saw a woman–a nurse–coming down the left side of the hallway, holding the handled of a wheelchair which had little boy sitting on it. He had a bandage wrapped around his head, he looked sickly pale almost as white as paper.

I watched as they came towards my direction, and then disappear into the corner of the building. The door to the hospital room opened up and in came Kurt.

"How's the child doing?" I asked, and Kurt gave me a thumbs up which I translated to the child being okay.

"Let's head back to the mansion now shall we?" He said, and I stood up without any hesitation.

We both walked towards the front door of the hospital. The ladies at the front desk told him goodbye in a flirty tone, and Kurt decided to greet them back in the same flirty tone as well. It was almost as if I was invisible, I ignored it due to the fact that I didn't even care about who flirts with him or not.

To be honest, the whole point of The Mate Picking Ceremony is very flawed in the sense that why would you mate two people that know nothing about each other, all in the bid of them having to spend years together under the same roof, it was absolutely absurd.

I looked at Kurt and observe his perfect facial features from the side, he is dashingly handsome, so I understand the reason girls go Gaga over him.

We got outside and saw our driver who leaning on the carriage. As soon as he saw us, he straightened his posture and opened the door for us.

We got in, and the driver mount the horse. "Is everything in order sir?" He asked.

"Yes, everything is in order," Kurt said in a gruff voice. Then I felt the carriage began to move.

There was a silence between us, except from the sounds that the horses were making as we ride down the path that led to our house.

I looked outside the window of the chariot and admire the pretty scenery outside, despite the sun about to set, everything looked beautiful.

"Alexa." I turn my head to look at Kurt who suddenly called me.

I looked at him longingly, as he tried to find what exactly he wanted to say to me. Then probably after not being able to find the right words to use, he told me to forget about it, he turned his attention back to the window.

With nothing said between us the silence came back. Is this how we would be as mates? Partners for life? Is the Moon goddess by any chance playing some sort of sick prank on me? If she was, I did not like it. Not one bit.

As soon as we got to the mansion, I was instantly whisked away by the maids, carrying to the changing room, they quickly took off my the corset allowing to be able to breathe freely in it. In as much as the dress was beautiful it was also very inconvenient.

As they took off my corset, my mind went to the events of today. Was Kurt putting up an act for the people that rule over? Cause I remember the day that I saw him being a complete asshole towards someone. So why was suddenly being an all round amazing person towards everybody?

One of the maids tapped me by my shoulder telling me that they were done taking off my dress. I looked down and saw that I was only left in my undies, they then proceed to take off the jewelries, then the make up, and I was left bare like the way I was early in the morning.

I also noticed that Marge wasn't around, which I found odd but didn't question. One of the maids told me that a bath was already prepared for me.

They led me towards the direction of the bathroom. The bathroom was lit with bulbs that gave off a very bright glow around each walls. The color of the bathroom was white–aside from the cream colored tiles both on the floor and on the walls of the bathroom.

At the side of the bathroom was a large floor to ceiling mirror, I caught a look at my reflection which didn't look too bad, but at the same time made me feel a little bit self conscious.

The bathtub stood by the corner, prepared with soft bubbles and rose petals spread around it. I entered inside and let the warmth of the bath enveloped me, soothing my already tensed muscles.

The maid didn't leave, the stood around the bathroom. Probably to ensure my safety in case I slip and fall by accident.

I think I spent about five to ten minutes in the bathtub before I stood up, one of the maids brought a towel and used it to clean up my body, and dabbed my already soaked hair.

Another maid came with a robe and put over my body, the material felt soft and the fragrance smelt of lavender.

They escorted me out of the bathroom. I took my chance to enjoy this moment, cause I know that the next day I would go back to what I was brought to this place for. And it's certainly not me being the Luna of the pack.

They took me to my room, in which they picked up a really pretty night wear for me to put on. It was a cute pink top that had flowers around the neck, paired with shorts that had flowers at the hem of it.

They maids asked me if I needed anything else, and I told them that I needed to sleep. They then left my room one by one till I was alone, I lay on bed and drifted off to sleep.

I was woken up by a loud crash that sounded from downstairs, I went back to sleep thinking that it wasn't something important. Then another loud crash came from downstairs.

I removed the comforter off my body, and walked towards the direction of where the loud crash came from.

I tiptoed down the stairs in case it was an intruder so that I wouldn't alert them.

I got to the middle of the stairs and what I saw made me almost let out a scream, only for a hand to cover my mouth. I looked up and I saw him staring down at me, with his fingers to his mouth telling me to keep quiet.
