Alice was dumbfounded when she saw Tristan walking to the bathroom.
“Tristan—”
“Dress up, Alicia,” he said as he shut the bathroom door. He looked at himself in the mirror as he saw the reflection of the woman he truly loved.
Now he cursed the curse that made him lose his woman, the rightful Luna of his pack. She was everything he wanted, a nice and pure woman. Selene has cracks and bruises that made her perfect.
Why was he acting vulnerable? He’s a cruel Alpha, he could have anybody he wants. If he couldn’t have Selene then so be it!
Now, he has to make a close bond with Alicia and Lycan King Miller to be able to get the divine orb from their possession.
He would have told Alicia his problem but his uncle who is also his Beta, said he shouldn’t disclose anything to Alicia or the Lycan King, her father. The only way to get the magical orb was to fake his feelings for Alicia.
He turned on the shower as he let the drops of water cool his inner mind, this was what he needed the most. Peace.
He spent minutes in the bathroom before going back to the room, when he opened the door the dim light in the room was off and he couldn’t see anything.
He tried to blend with the darkness as he walked closer to the door and he placed his hands on the wall trying to locate the light switch. He finally found the light switch and turned on the light.
When he looked at the bed, he didn’t find Alicia on the bed. The young lady had left out of annoyance.
Tristan looked at the bed as he alone knew what he was thinking, he stood close to the bed for some minutes before he finally lay down on the bed and shut his eyes.
**************************
Selena was in one of the maid's quarters as she was still finding it hard to understand what happened to her. One moment she was in love and she almost got mated and the next moment, she was back to being an ordinary person in the palace, her condition was worse than that of an ordinary person. Now, she was officially a maid.
It was already morning, Selena stretched her body on the bed as she yawned tiredly. It's another day to be treated like the loser that they've turned her into.
She got up from the mini bed and dragged herself to the wooden restroom. The room given to her was a small room and it was demarcated with some wood to give her a tiny bathroom.
Selena mixed her water in the bucket as she bent her tiny body inside the bathtub. She raised her long hair and packed it in a bun. She wouldn't want her hair to be wet.
She took her bath quickly as she wouldn’t want to be scolded by the butler in the mansion. As she walked out of the bathroom with a little gray towel wrapped around her tiny body, she creamed her body as she sat on the tiny stool at the side of the bed.
She grabbed a low-budget, black corset gown as she grabbed a tiny rope to design the sleeve of the dress. She didn’t have anything else to wear aside from that. The butler was yet to give her the servant's uniform.
Selene was done dressing when she heard an aggressive knock on the door, her heart skipped a beat thinking it was one of the guards knocking at her door. She has no right to ask who it was at her door except she is down for another punishment.
“One second,” her soft voice sounded as she rushed to the door to open it for whosoever was knocking so aggressively. It was Alicia at the door, the young woman had a smirk plastered on her lip as she eyed Selene from head to toe.
“You still wouldn’t give up?” Alicia asked Selene as she scanned the black corset gown Selene was wearing.
Why does Selene look good in everything she wears?’ This was the thought running through Alicia’s mind.
She was very much aware that Tristan still loves Selene, and Selene also has feelings for the young Alpha. There was no way she would let Selene enjoy her stay in this mansion.
“You are putting this on because you want to seduce him. Isn’t it?” Alicia asked Selene, as she took two deliberate steps forward making Selene move back inside her room.
“It’s not what you think, Alice,” Selene said, purposely avoiding any drama that was building up.
“What did you just call me?” Alicia asked with rage. Has Selene forgotten that she was now mated to Tristan? An Alpha.
Why wasn’t she addressed as Luna?
“What. Did. You. Call. Me?” Alicia asked again, this time she walked closer to Selene pushing the door shut. Alicia’s eyes switched from brown to dark gold. She was angry.
Selene was about to correct herself when Alicia raised her hands high and landed a heavy slap on Selene’s cheek.
“Haah!” Selene gasps as she takes a large intake of air. No, she never expected this.
“I am your Luna! You will address me as that. You hear me?” Alicia said as she glared deeply at Selene.
What Luna? She was the one who was to be Luna but this young thing did not only drug her but also took her position and made her a slave.
“No,” Selene said as she raised her head to glare at the woman standing before her.
“Why are you feeling insecured, Luna? We both know you do not deserve to be called Luna. You didn’t earn it, he doesn’t love you, either.
I’m not the only one who doesn’t recognize you as the Luna of our pack, why attack me then? Tell everyone. Order everybody to call you their Luna. Tell them!”
These words were like a sharp knife piercing every bit of Alicia’s skin. She hated Selene more. There was no way she would look weak in the presence of her maid. She was about to leave the room when she stopped and moved closer to Selene as she yanked off the corset dress from her body. Because she used force, Selene’s burst was exposed.
“Alicia!” Selene exclaimed in a loud tone.
