Ladies -in -waiting

" Anything else" he said

"No my lord"

"You can leave"

I can leave excuse me i came here to make sure you are fine all I get is' you can leave '

Why are you feeling offended Shara we both know you don't care for him

even at that he should be more polite

" Where is this fu*king papers "

" Master"

" Speak zed " I said getting annoyed can't find this paperwork

" A message came this morning, it's for the king"

" From who?"

" No address or name master"

" Give it to me"

' Hello kid bro the news about you having a bride is every where. I said to myself what kind of brother will I be if I wasn't there to support you I will be at persia by full moon

From your handsome brother '

Shit shit shit Dragan will go mad with the look of things he should be on his way because it's already half moon, woohoo I can't wait to see what happens the castle will be lively and full of drama I'm going to love this

" Thank you Zed you may go "

" Yes master "

Finally I found the papers and went to the first floor to give Drago

"Hey I found it " I said raising the papers up

" Take" I threw it to him and sat on the other couch

" Drago"

" Drago " no response

" Drago Drago Drago" he stopped writing and gave me a death glare returning his attention back to the papers

" I have something important to say it might interest you"

" Don't tell me"

" You're sure?"

" You said it yourself"

" Can't keep this one let me tell you I never thought your...."

" Dan"

"Fine " I started whistling to kill boredom

The room was quiet like a graveyard the only sounds you can here was the birds singing

and the clock ticking

" Take some men with you to the woods at the market side according to the reports some group of men have been hunting there illegally "

" As you wish my king"

IRENE (POV)

It's already noon Shara and I went to greet the ladies in waiting that just arrived

" Lady Irene" they greeted

" How have you all been"

" We are fine and you?"

" I'm good, lady Tash this is Shara, Shara meet lady Tash the eldest among the ladies"

" This is lady Beatrice, lady Elle, lady rose and lady Hailey"

" It's nice meeting you lady Shara" they said in unison

" Same here, I must confess you all are beautiful "

" Not as you my lady " Hailey answered

" Nah I'm no match so what are we doing today?" SHARA asked

" That's too fast Shara we need to relax I'm sure the ladies are exhausted" I said

" Not at all lady Irene we aren't , immortals don't crack let's go straight to why we are here " rose said intentionally emphasizing the word "immortals " and "crack"

" That will be for lady Shara to decide " I said

" Lady Shara?" Rose asked

I turned to Shara waiting for her to spit her venom because it's the reality she needs to learn how to deal with them after all she will be queen

" I thought immortals have a good memory it's been barely ten minutes Irene introduced me to you all, it seems humans memory is more stronger"

You're indeed one of a kind the right fit for my brother

Rose face turned red from embarrassment I'm sure she hadn't expect her to respond that way

" We do have good memory my lady, rose haven't been herself over a week now " Beatrice said. The maids served the tea

While the meeting was going on with the ladies I couldn't stop thinking

' The reason Dragan left was to find his second mate as requested by his people. The universe couldn't have given him a human as his mate , I like Shara but he's a king he can't be protecting his people at same time his wife.

This isn't right if she's really his mate he couldn't have been able to resist to mark her or is it because he hates human so much he can't mark her'

" What do you think Irene"

" Irene"

" Uh what were you saying"

" The ladies were suggesting we should host afternoon tea for wealthy women to attend after the wedding what do you think?"

" Yeah that's a nice idea "

I said making Shara choke on her tea. She does not like that. It's been a week and some days since she came I like her so far I don't know if she can be trusted and I need to ask Dan if she's really Dragan mate

" That's all for today thank you all for coming " she said with authority in her voice she has the qualities of a good leader

" You're welcome my lady "

" Please lady Elle don't forget the dress " I reminded her

" I won't lady Irene "

" And no corset " Shara added

" Of course no corset "

" Thank you" I said to the ladies as they leave

Turning to Shara I asked. "What's wrong with corset "

" I just don't like to wear things that makes it hard for me to breathe"

" That means you don't like Drago?" I said watching her expression to know if she does

" What !! he is not a corset why would you say that" she asked

" Because your heartbeat intensifies anytime he walks in"

" Have you really seen your brother? He's so captivating I like him my body just react on its own not because I don't like him "

Not giving up until I know the truth

" Shara try to see it from my perspective, it's too good to be true don't get me wrong you are a nice person, I'm not just buying it "

" You don't believe I like your brother or what?" She asked calmly sipping her tea I expected her to flare up

" Look Shara you can trust me I am good at keeping secrets you just need to tell me did Dragan forced you to act like you fell in love with him "

" I wish he did " she said smirking

What kind of lady did you bring home brother, she's acting like she got her own agenda. She's acting nonchalant although I was happy at first but I'm beginning to get worried

" The story looks like a happy middle class girl living with her parents when the devil came to take her away, tell me was that the case"

" Nope nothing like that, he courted me and I came here willingly "

" Hmmm"

" So who are the twelve?" She asked
