The Alpha's Luna

Chapter 8

Kiara:

I woke up in bed, a comfortable one I may add.

The soft duvet, the pillow I was laying on, the cotton fabric, everything about it tempted me to go back to sleep.

Though how I had ended up in bed in the first place was beyond me, the last thing I remember was crying in Kyle’s arms, him lifting me to sit on the couch with me on his lap.

I sat up and looked around the room to find Kyle sleeping on the couch.

Wait Kyle sleeping on the couch?

I frowned and slowly got out of bed careful not to make too much noise not wanting to wake him but also confused at what he was doing here and why he wasn’t in his own chamber.

I slowly sat on my knees beside him feeling a pull toward him as I saw his relaxed features, his dark brown hair was on his face giving me the urge to want to run my fingers through it, f*****g mating bond.

“Kyle” I whispered softly.

“Yes love?” He answered making my eyes widen.

“You’re awake?” I asked feeling somewhat embarrassed.

“I wasn’t, but you getting out of bed and walking toward me, no matter how quiet you can be can wake up an Alpha wolf” Kyle said in his deep sleep voice, he sat up and rested his back on the arm rest.

He rubbed the sleep out of his eyes and ran his fingers through his hair removing it from his face before he looked at me with soft, gentle eyes, giving me a childish grin which had me smiling.

“How are you?” He asked me, though he didn’t really wait for me to reply as he removed his legs from the couch and slowly leaned down to me and wrapped his arms around my waist making me squeal as he pulled me up to sit beside him on the couch.

“KYLE!” I laughed making him chuckle.

“Yes love?” He teased; I rolled my eyes at him though I couldn’t stop the smile from forming on my lips.

“That’s the smile I like to see” he said happily, “I don’t want what happened last night to happen again” his eyes met my own to show me how serious he was, I could see his brown orbs darken as he spoke.

“I was overwhelmed, I’m sorry” I said looked at my hands which were on my lap feeling a clench in my heart at the fact that he had seen me in such a state.

“I’m here for you Kiara, I didn’t say you weren’t allowed to express your pain please don’t get me wrong, but my point is whenever you feel the need to let out your pain let me be by your side, don’t do it alone” he said softly, he put his fingers under my chin and slowly raised my face so I was looking at him.

“Okay” I whispered not having anything else to say.

“I want you to be happy with me here” his gentle voice made my heart flutter as I saw the honesty in his eyes.

I had no words to say at his gentleness toward me, never in my life have I been treated this softly, carefully or gently, not even with Coblet and he took it on his account to be my rock for the past four years, the prince was treating me like a precious jewel he was afraid of breaking or losing.

“How about we have breakfast?” Kyle smiled and I nodded, I wasn’t a heavy eater, even Kyle noticed that when we had dinner last night and I had three bites before feeling full.

It wasn’t like I could help it either, but my mother never allowed me to eat more than scrapes as she and her husband kept saying that it was waste to give me food anyway, then there was my life on the street where we would sometimes go for a day or two without food, especially since we had little children who needed to eat and we as the older kids would endure hunger to be sure the younger ones had a bite or two.

Of course, I wouldn’t say that to Kyle, but judging the look of understanding he gave me on the table last night he seemed to understand himself, though that didn’t stop him from giving me a few more bites to eat.

“Dylan” Kyle called, the door to the chamber was opened and Dylan walked in keeping his head down.

“Your grace?” Dylan replied bowing to the prince.

“My mate and I will be having breakfast here in her chamber, let the kitchen staff know and please be sure to inform my father”

“What about Princess Claudia? She doesn’t eat on the table unless you were there by her side” Kyle looked at me before answering.

“Let her come and dine here with us, my sister should be meeting my mate” Kyle said looking proud which made me smile.

“Anything specific that you want for breakfast your highness?” Dylan asked and Kyle shook his head, Dylan looked at me and I smiled in appreciation.

He bowed down and walked toward the door and walked out leaving Kyle and I alone.

“I’ll go freshen up, the maids will help you freshen up and get ready okay?” Kyle asked and I nodded standing up as he did.

He walked to the door and knocked the door twice; the guards opened the door and he walked out before the girls entered the room.

“Good morning milady” one of the girls said, her black hair tied up in a bun, actually all four girls had their hairs tied up in buns, they wore knee long dresses, each with a color of her choosing as I’m guessing they didn’t have a formal dress color, though all four dresses looked somewhat similar.

“Morning” I said smiling “please call me Kiara”

“Milady, that’s against the rules” the girl said softly.

“We’re inside, no one would know” I said shrugging and the girls smiled at me.

“I however I don’t know your names”

“I’m Lydia” said one girl, her sky-blue eyes bore into my own, her blonde hair in a bun, tall figure, freckles were on her cheeks. She smiled as I nodded and smiled at her.

I looked at the second girl, she was shorter than Lydia, her black hair also tied in a bun though by the amount of frizz her hair had, even in a bun, it seemed like she was curly haired, her naturally tanned skin seemed to give her a glow as she smiled at me, a beautiful smile which reached her emerald green eyes “I’m Bianca”

I nodded and smiled at her before looking at the third girl whose violet eyes sparkled with the light coming out of the window, her light brown hair tied in a bun similar to the girl’s though she had a blue butterfly hair pin, she seemed to be as tall as Lydia “I’m Mia”

I looked at the fourth girl who looked at me with the softest smile on her face, her silver blue eyes staring into my own brown ones as if she was reading me, her platinum white hair gave her a unique figure of her own, she had a blue butterfly hair pin which matched Mia’s on her hair “I’m Leilah”

“It’s nice meeting all of you” I said honestly.

“The pleasure is ours Mi… I mean Kiara” Lydia said smiling at me.

“Prince Kyle will be coming to have breakfast in my chamber and so will Princess Claudia?” I said but it sounded more like a question as I didn’t know who that princess was or how she was like.

“Well then, how about we set up a bath for you, while you choose yourself a dress?” Mia asked and I found myself blushing as I had no clothing of my own.

“Prince Kyle has already ordered to set everything up for you Kiara, all you need is to choose what you want to wear” Leilah said gently.

Bianca guided me to a door which she opened revealing a closet room with clothes of all kinds, anything a person could ask for was inside that closet, from expensive dresses, to shoes and heels, jeans pants, shirts, sweaters, scarfs, purses which I’ve seen only the rich ladies of the kingdom carry. I saw Mia enter the closet room and grab three white towels from one of the shelves before she walked out.

“All this is for me?” I asked and Bianca smiled and nodded.

“All this is for you Kiara, and so much more if you keep up with being his favorite” Bianca said, and I frowned in confusion at her words.

“Each palace has its rules and so does this one, in this palace even a slave could become a queen therefor you need to be careful as there will be other competitors” she said looking me in the eye.

“I thought Prince Kyle said I was his mate?” I said frowning in confusion and Bianca nodded.

“You are sweetheart, but there are other maidens in the palace who are dying for one night with the prince, one night that could change their lives, should that girl become pregnant and if she gives birth to a boy, that girl’s life would change forever” Bianca explained.

“Prince Kyle has refused every girl Queen Alice has sent him, but she keeps trying and she will try now more than ever”

“But what does she have against me?”

“It’s not against you Kiara, she has a son, who she wants to rule, if her son rules, she’ll be all powerful, but if Prince Kyle does then the tables are in everyone’s favor but hers” Lydia said walking in from behind Bianca.

“She won’t be the queen mother which will end up ruining the plans she’s been working on her whole life” Bianca said, and I frowned looking at the girls.

“But what does that have to do with sending girls to the prince’s chamber”

“You are a girl Kiara, we all know more than anyone what a few gentle words, nice body movements and a little pleasure can do to a man” Lydia said her sky-blue eyes turning into a darker shade of blue making me frown in confusion.

“Your eyes Lydia” Bianca said noticing my confused expression.

“Sorry” she blinked twice, and her eyes returned to their normal color.

“You’re going to be trained, and study, and most importantly you’re going to learn how to become a queen one day” Lydia said calmly “the other girls will be studying with you, don’t get into fights with them no matter what they say or do, don’t bend to their will, don’t give them something to hold against you and ALWAYS keep your head high and NEVER let your guard down”

“Does Prince Kyle know of all this?” I asked and Bianca nodded.

“That’s why he asked for us to be your personal servants, he knows we’ll help guide you through the right path” Bianca said looking me in the eye.

“And he’ll help you too, he’ll be by your side through every step” Lydia said smiling and I took a deep breath before nodding.

“Good, now let’s get you ready before the prince and princess are here”
