CHAPTER 9

" What do we do now mother, the thought of Fenrir staying in crystal Moon pack with Alpha Zeev is getting on my nerves. Didn't you see how he treated the messenger because of her? we have to make haste about it Mother, before it gets too late," Mara said tentatively.

" Bring me a man from the council of the elders, a high-ranking one, and ask that we meet privately, Alpha Zeev won't be able to reject this offer." The Queen said decisively.

FENRIR's POV

Kayle walked into the bedroom with a wide smile on her face. " Good morning my lady," she greeted with a happy face.

" Why do you look so happy, has anything good happened," I asked, sitting up from the bed.

" Of course, my lady, I'm glad you made the right choice of following Alpha Zeev, everyone in the pack has been talking about how he carried you into the park yesterday," she said giggling with smiles.

" Why is there so much talk about him carrying me here, I was not fit to walk by myself," I said back to Kayla who cared less about what I was saying.

" No one my lady, absolutely no woman, has ever gotten the least of a glance from Alpha Zeev, and he carried you from the carriage to this bedroom, you're special my Lady," Kayla said with happiness.

" Prepare the bath and stop jumping around, just because he carried me doesn't mean he wants me, who knows what tomorrow might bring about, you and I are nothing but pawns in their game of power, " I said walking off the bed.

" Sit my lady, I'll go prepare the bath," Kayla said as she walk outside of the room.

" Good day Alpha Zeev" , I heard her greet outside

I turned back around to meet the obsidian dark eyes of the man by the door. " Alpha Zeev, I opened my mouth to talk, as his eyes swept over me. " Zeev" , I called.

" There's no need to prepare the bath, I'll do the rest for my wife, tell the maids to set the food down, we'll be there in a while". Zeev instructed

" Yes my Lord", she said as she walked briskly out of the room.

" You don't have to bathe me Zeev, I'll do it myself or I'll call for Kayla to do so," I said bluntly.

He gave no response to my words as he walked towards me stopping right in front of me, he bent to his knees.

" You're not my pawn Fenrir, you're my Luna and my wife, I take you for what you are, just like the way you chose me despite the way I'm." Taking my hand in his, I felt the sudden surge of warmth spread in them.

" I'm sorry, I can't help but think about it that way," I said with streaks of tears falling off my face.

He tightened his hands on mine.

" I swear by my position as the Alpha and as your Alpha, you're my Luna and you will be that only, not my pawn in whatever game of power," he said looking into my eyes.

I nodded to his words as he swept me off the bed to the bathroom.

" I can bath by myself Alpha Zeev, it'd be too embarrassing if you bath me like this," I retorted not wanting to stand naked in front of him.

" The earlier the better, you've got to get used to it, I'll take care of you like this every single day, it's be better to start early, " he said , maintaining a straight face.

I buried my face in his chest as he carried me into to the bathroom.

I sat in the bathtub unsure of what to do next. "I'll get undressed," I said tugging at the zipper of the satin gown I wore.

" No I'll do it," he said, tugging it off my body, the cold air in the bathroom made me shiver. His gaze fixated on my body for a few minutes until I shrugged my shoulders.

" I don't think this is a good idea," I murmured.

"Yes it is," he said back, throwing the gown off my legs.

" My goodness" , he said under his breath.

"I feel like pressing you down right now, but be rest assured I won't, not until you're ready to give yourself to me Fenrir," he said splattering droplets of water on my body.

" Let's get you cleaned up," he said and moved on to scrub my body.

A slight knock on the door distracted me from his lingering touch on my body.

A towel was draped over my head as he bent to carry me out of the tub.

"The food is ready Alpha Zeev",a maid said from outside.

"We'll come down in a while, " his blunt voice answered.

A purple gown was brought over by a maid, pins, and hair accessories.

" You can leave, I'll do it myself." He said to the maid.

Her face carried a hint of surprise as she took another look at me,

" do I need to repeat myself" , he said before she came back to her senses.

" I'll leave right away," she said as she turned away from the room hurriedly.

"How do you do this?" I asked, sitting in front of a mirror.

" I've never done this for anyone before, trust me Fenrir, you're the only one who's been let in this close, and it'll be only you," he said reassuringly.

I took a look at his face which carried no hint of lies. His hands ran through my scalp as he took a handful of my hair in his hands.

" You look beautiful and sexy with your hair let down your shoulders. I prefer the braids on you, you look like my princess, I want you to be dependent on me, I'm responsible for you so you should be happy, and trust me Fenrir, no one is going to take you away from me", he said again as if making a vow.

ing to take you away from me, he said again as if making a vow.
