Chapter 07 – There are no princesses
Theodora’s POV
Rose walked outside from the chamber leaving me alone. I was not alone; another unconscious two women were lying on the huge bed.
“Be quick, I have a lot of stuff to do for the day, I can’t stand here the whole day until you fill the bathtub” He was looking at me from behind with his folded arms.
“I can’t because I have a wounded shoulder” I replied aggressively. He gave me a death glare and walked away.
I couldn’t lift the whole bucket, so I filled the bucket half and then released them into the large wooden bathtub. I was slow, if I was healthy, filling this bathtub was nothing to me.
When I was lifting the tenth water bucket it slipped from my hand. Losing my balance, I fell on the floor with the water bucket. I fell on the side where my shoulder wound was and a painful moan escaped from my mouth.
“You b*tch! Why don’t you let us sleep?” I wasn’t expecting a tight slap across my face and a kick on my stomach at the same time from the mistresses of Keelin.
“Stop, I didn’t mean to spill the water. It was a mistake!” By holding my painful shoulder, I said. They were in their undergarments, maybe my painful scream disturbed their sleep.
“How dare you to talk back to us like that? We are the mistresses of King Keelin. If he knows what happened here, he will kill you in the next second” Again they kicked my stomach, and when I fell back the other one squeezed my wound with her feet by putting the maximum pressure on it. This made me scream louder in pain.
They were enjoying and laughing. I am not surprised about it, because they are Keelin’s mistresses. Heartless like him. I wish the beauty on their faces were in their hearts too.
I had enough of their torture, I was not just a princess who walked in the roses. I would love to play with the thorns too. I moved my hand towards the fallen bucket and grabbed it. They didn’t expect my reaction to be like this. I hit them with the large wooden bucket making them fall on the wet floor and hitting their backs harder.
They were cursing me, and I slowly stood up while holding my shoulder. I taches like a new wound. I am pretty sure that the wound was opened and when I looked at it, it had already started to bleed. I want it to get cured soon, so I can get back to my routine soon.
“You bit*h!” They were about to strike me again. These two were nothing for me if I didn’t have my wounded shoulder.
“What the hell has happened here?” I leaned down in attack mode when the chamber was shaken with his snarl.
He was looking at the chaos in the bathroom and I knew that the first day as a maid was going to be screwed up. His eyes started to redden and his nostrils flared. He was wearing a short-sleeve shirt and his bluish veins were popping out from his forearms.
He was pissed! He would shift into his wolf at any time and shredded me into pieces at any time.
“Your grace, see what your new maid has done to us. She was jealous to see us sleeping in your bed and disturbed our sleep. When we came to help her, she attacked us!” My eyes widened by looking at the way they lie to him.
I opened my mouth to defend myself, but I knew that it was pointless. Will he ever listen to me other than his old mistresses? I was an enemy in his eyes
“Punish her King. She will remember the consequences of messing with the king’s mistresses” They laughed wickedly and it made me sickened.
“Silence!” He roared and held the mistresses by their necks and pushed them into the bathroom wall making me clouded with shock and surprise.
“I know you two better than anyone here. Do you think that you can lie to me? I can snap your neck in a second and throw you to my dogs, but no. I will spare your lives” He threw the mistresses on the floor harder and they fell on the ground with a painful yell.
Then he turned towards me. I was going to be the next I knew. I couldn’t fight against him. I was looking for a weapon when the shocking thing happened at the next moment. He pulled from my arm and started to walk out of the chamber.
Where is he taking me? I didn’t do anything. Is he taking me to the dungeons or is he going to severely punish me?
My feet were tackling with the long-wet clothes sticking between my legs.
“Stop, where are you taking me?” He was walking so fast that I almost had to run behind him. My clothes were wet and white, the guards were looking at me. I felt like I was walking na*ed. I never wanted anyone to look at my body full of lust and hunger in their eyes.
“Keelin, stop, my dress!” As soon as I called his name he stopped in his position like a thunder hit on the ground.
Keelin’s POV
When I heard her calling my name, I froze. I couldn’t walk anymore. I turned to see that she was covering herself with both of her hands looking at the guards in the tower uncomfortably. I growled at them making them quickly turn their eyes towards the floor.
“Look how she was uncomfortable. You have out our mate in an uncomfortable way and look at those hungry eyes of the wolves” Blaze threw thousands of swords towards me within his few words.
I didn’t have anything to cover her so I did the best thing I had to do. I scooped her into my arms and started to walk.
“What are you doing? Put me down. Where are you taking me?” She asked through wincing pain because of the wound.
I was fuming in rage when I saw her wound. Blaze wanted to kill the mistresses, but I held him back after a huge fight. If I kill the mistresses, then what am I going to say to others? Should I say that I kill them because they hurt my mate? I knew that those sl*ts would do something to hurt her. Theodora was too pretty compared to those wh*res.
“Put me down right now. I can walk” She was struggling in my arms when we entered the medical room. The few nurses and physicians looked at us with surprise.
“What happened to you? Keep her on the bed” The physician quickly came to us and showed us the bed to keep her.
“Let me see your wound princess”
“There are no princesses here. She is my mate!” The room took a stunned nature. The wind blew through the window and was stopped for a second to listen to what I said. I didn’t say it, the word slipped from my mouth. Blaze chuckled softly. Was it a mocking smile?
“Is she our Luna? The queen?!” The physician asked in surprise.
“Do what you’ve asked to do. I mean she was my maid! not mate!” Blaze sighed deeply.
“Mate?! What do you mean by that?” Suddenly Theodora showed an interest in the term mate.
“Princess, I mean Theodora, it’s the better half of a wolf. It was destined and gifted by the moon goddess!” The physician explained it to her. She doesn’t know about mate bonds. She is a human. She seems fallen into thinking about something deeply.
Wait, did she also feel about our mate bond? I don’t know whether humans can feel the mate bond or not. None of us were mated to a human before.
What if she also felt the same way I did?
