Someone At The Door (Ch.19)

The moment Laila took her leave, Neveah breathed a deep sigh of relief.

She had not realized how valued her peace and quiet was till she had had her morning completely disrupted by the talkative she wolf.

However Neveah comforted herself in the fact that though Laila was most likely also sent by the Alpha Queen Vilma to spy on her, the talkative she wolf was still quite useful,

Not only had she kept Neveah updated on the present status on the search for the mystery Alpha wolf, she had also tidied up Neveah's room and prepared Neveah's bath water.

Now, she had gone off to fetch Neveah's breakfast from the kitchen and Neveah swore she found the attentive care of her new attendant unsettling.

"Well, enjoy it while it lasts." Neveah told herself as she got off her bed with a quiet groan of pain and headed into her washroom.

Neveah pushed the door shut and locked it before she headed over to her mirror, standing before it, she stared at her expression, noticing she looked rather pale and Neveah guessed it was due to blood loss.

Neveah sighed, her injury had stopped bleeding sometime within the night and she had had to change her blood stained sheets and bandages before going back to bed.

Neveah then pulled off her night robes and unwrapped the bandages, examining the wound through the mirror.

Every other lighter injury had already healed and even this showed signs of closing up and Neveah guessed it would be completely healed by the next day.

The spikes on the black dragon's tail had pierced in too deep and Neveah was even impressed to see she was healing so well without receiving proper medical attention.

Neveah was grateful she had considerable medical knowledge, the wound would not get infected and would heal just fine.

Neveah sighed quietly, stepping into her bath pool, she slowly washed herself, careful to avoid her wounds as she basked in the warmth provided by the water.

Just as Neveah was contemplating relaxing for a short while, there was a knock on her door and Neveah released a quiet groan.

Neveah got out of her bath pool and dried herself before pulling on a robe and heading to her door, unlocking it and pulling it open.

While Neveah had expected to see Laila who she guessed had returned with her breakfast, Neveah's heart dropped when she came face to face with Alpha King Lothaire.

"F... father..." Neveah stuttered out, as bone chilling terror gripped her, her mind reeling with various thoughts.

'What was he doing here? Why had he come? Did he know something? Was this how it would end for her?' Many thoughts flashed across Neveah's mind in a split second as she stood frozen in place.

"Move." Alpha King Lothaire demanded in a low tone that jolted Neveah back to reality as she hurriedly moved aside to let her father in.

"Morning greetings, father." Neveah quickly greeted with a low bow.

"Hmm.... I was beginning to wonder if you needed another lesson on proper etiquette." Alpha King Lothaire said in that low, terrifying tone.
