Chapter 5

~Freya~

Feeling my eyes getting heavy, I dropped the cake on the table and made my way to the bathroom. The cold feel of the shower cascaded over me as I breath deeply.

Emerging from the shower, I towelled my hair as I slid into the silk night dress laid out on the bed by Jade. Exhaling sharply, I threw myself on the bed drifting off to a deep slumber.

...

I woke up to the chirping of birds as the sun rays which crept in through my open window doused on my face. Squinting my eyes open slowly, I stretched letting out a deep yawn.

Sitting up straight, my eyes widened at the luxurious room I found myself in. It was decorated with roses and had a very large space in the middle. I hadn't realized how soft my bed was until my hands felt it repeatedly.

I stood up amazed as I discovered my room had a beautiful balcony. Giggling, I took to my heels as I rushed towards the balcony. Looking at the beautiful view in front of me I couldn't help but laugh as I forgot my worries in a second.

I leaped around the balcony joyfully as I cheered with excitement.

"Whoo!" I screamed loudly.

I was excited as I could see the stars from my room. Star gazing has been my best thing to do as a child.

Knock!

Turning to the direction of my door, I giggled as I leaped to answer the door happily. Swinging it open, it was jade.

"Good morning Luna, I can tell you had a marvelous night," she said with a bright smile on her face.

"Yes I did, thank you," I responded softly.

She gasped as her eyes widened in amazement. I looked around to see if there was anything or anyone around, but found nothing as she starred at me blankly.

"What happened?" I asked arching a brow.

"Nothing Luna, you said thank you, so I was caught off guard," she responded bowing her head slightly.

Thank you? Are they really treated that horrible here that a thank you seems like a luxury? Besides, I thanked her for the cake last night, didn't she hear it?

"Luna, breakfast will be ready in thirty minutes. Alpha has asked you be ready and seated," she said softly as she departed.

Closing my door, I made my way to the bathroom, swiftly taking off my clothes. Scrubbing delicately, I hummed a song in the shower as the water cascaded over my body.

Emerging from the shower, I towelled my hair as I made my way to the dressing room. My eyes widened as I saw the luxurious dresses and high class jeweleries all arranged in pairs. The beautiful shoes underneath each pair glistened with jewels.

I walked around feeling each fabric and admiring the jewels paired with each. After a short while, I decided to wear the emerald green dress which was paired with red heels and red diamond jewellery.

Picking up the dress, I slid into it quickly. A frown plastered on my face as I looked at my reflection in the mirror. The gowns were quite expensive and luxurious yes, but they were old fashioned. With long sleeves and they were full length. Barely any space to breath as it was tight on the bosom, nor walk as it ckung to my skin tightly.

I took off the gown quickly as I picked a pair of scissors from the table. Placing the gown on the floor, I made a double slit on the sides and cut off the long sleeves. Picking the needle and thread, I sewed round the edges carefully as I restyled the dress.

Satisfied with my work, I slid back into the dress. Looking at the mirror, it gave me a better fitting than before. My slender legs could be seen from the side slits as the long sleeves were replaced with string hands.

Putting my shoes on, I made my way to the dining hall. The mansion was huge and I almost got lost, thankfully, the kind servant led me in the right direction.

Arriving at the dining, the scent filled my senses as I walked over. The table was set and the food was steaming. Lucien approached me swiftly from the side. He looked at me with widened eyes as he scanned my body.

Did I have an allergic reaction? I touched my face continuously as his gaze on me create bubbles of unease within me.

"What are you wearing?" He asked coldly with an arched brow.

Confused I looked down at my dress to ensure I didn't walk out of the room in my undergarments.

"A green dress," I replied sarcastically.

"I know it's a green dress, why is it exposing your skin," he asked again, the fury in his voice palpable as his gaze sharpened.

Looking at his facial expression, I could tell he was highly displeased at my outfit. I couldn't care less, he said to mind my business and he would mind his, so why does my outfit bother him?

"What's wrong with it?" I asked rolling my eyes.

He took measured steps as he approached me closing the gap between us. His hands gripped my waist as he cupped my chin compelling me to meet his gaze. His hands moved from my waist slowly to where the slit started.

My heart raced as I swallowed hard, what is he doing! I felt his fingers graze my exposed thighs softly. His feel sending an unknown sensation of heat through me as I stared, lost in his intense gaze.

He leaned in as he whispered in my ear, "Are you trying to seduce me?" He asked, his voice deep as his hot breaths grazed the back of my neck.

Hearing his words, I quickly shoved him away arranging my clothes as I glared at him, "Seduce you? Never in a million years," I responded coldly as I tossed my hair to the other side.

A dark chuckle left his lips as he approached me slowly. I unconsciously took steps backwards until I felt the cold wall behind my back. What was he going to do to me?

"The next time I see you dressed like this, I'll rip your dress apart stitch by stitch till you have nothing to wear," he said coldly.

Fear gripped me hearing his threatening words, yet I couldn't help but fantasize about him fulfilling his words on me. Giving a final glance, he scoffed in disgust as he went towards the opposite direction leaving me flustered yet bewildered.
