I ruffled my hair as I was stressed out. I was a step away from being completely depressed. What went wrong in my life? At least, when I was a human and had my mind - reading power, life was manageable for . But now, I am overwheld. I am starting to doubt my entire existence.
"Pikabo?".
"Pikabo?".
I mused when I heard children’s voices. To be sure I wasn’t hallucinating, I pinched my cheeks. "Ouch".
’Why did you hurt yourself? Is it because of the children’s voices? You are not dreaming. I heard the voices too’. Elektra mind - linked .
I sighed in relief as Elektra said that to . I was glad that she heard the children’s voices too, unlike that ti when I heard that gentle voice, but she couldn’t hear it. By gentle voice, I an the moon goddess’ voice. But, it’s still unbelievable to that the moon goddess spoke to . Was it truly her? Or was soone impersonating her?
"Mama?".
"Mama?".
’Ma- mama?! Where the heck are these voices coming from?! How dare the voices call us mama, Clara?!’. Elektra asked , and my eyes darted towards the eggs in my front, before I focused my attention on them and stared closely at them.
I know this may sound hilarious to say, but I strongly believe that the children’s voices are coming from the eggs.
’No way. Was it the eggs?’. Elektra exclaid and gasped in disbelief. I think she has already figured out my thoughts.
"I think so, Elektra". I said to her. My attention and my eyes never left the eggs’ side.
"Mama!"
"Mama!".
Hearing the excited voices again, I beca certain that the voices belonged to the eggs. Before I could predict what would happen next, the eggs’ shells began to crack, shocking .
My instinct acted up, and I leaped from the ground and stood on my feet.
My actions caused to hiss in pain. I had hit my injured feet hard on the ground. And my back cracked when I stood on my feet. It was at this mont I felt intense pain in my back, shoulders and the back of my neck. The pain was obviously caused by the bag of rocks I had carried.
Massaging the lower part of my back with my hand, I muttered, "What kind of tiny creature is inside the eggs?".
I was anticipating sothing to co out of the eggs, as the eggshells had cracked.
The knock on the door made jump as I flinched.
"Alpha Anastasia, I’m here with the ointnt". Valerie, who must be standing outside my room right now, said to .
I acted quickly.
I didn’t want her to see the eggs, so I took them and hid them inside the drawer I saw.
"Co inside, Lady Valerie". I ordered her, and she entered my room.
This ti around, her two assistants were with her. One of them was holding an ointnt, while the other one was holding a white bandage.
They bowed and acknowledged my presence, before arising.
"Mara, help our Alpha freshen up. And you, Maya, retrieve our Alpha’s clothes and have them washed. Also, clean the blood stain on the floor". Valerie instructed the two ladies.
"Yes, lady Valerie". Mara and Maya replied to her.
"Please, follow to the bathroom, my Alpha, let help you freshen up". Mara said to after giving the ointnt she was holding, to Valerie, who requested it.
I get it. Mara, who is the one leading to the bathroom, has blue hair and brown eyes, and is taller than Maya. While Maya has brown hair and hazel eyes.
I followed Mara to the bathroom without complaining. I needed to freshen up. Maybe my troubled mind will be at ease.
....
Many minutes later,
I got out of the bathtub after Mara had finished washing my body using a blue sponge. She had also dried my wet golden hair with a towel.
I wore the ash-coloured slippers that were in my front, since I did not want to continue staining the floor with my blood.
Yeah, as I got into the bathroom, my blood stained the bathroom floor.
But, Mara took care of it after I got into the bathtub and sat on it.
Mara went and picked out one of the bathrobes that was hung on the towel hooks using hangers.
It was an ash bathrobe.
She helped put it on.
"My Alpha, the rumors are true. You are strong. You didn’t even express any pain when your injured feet touched the water. You are so strong that there’s no need for beta Damien to protect you. At first, when Beta Damien declared he would protect you and fight on your behalf, many thought you were weak and couldn’t defend your Alpha position. Of course, I didn’t believe you were weak, because, if you were weak, how were you able to kill those rogue werewolves’ leader and those wild beasts I recently heard about?". Mara smiled throughout as she said to . She was extrely happy, as if she was proud I was strong.
I stood there puzzled as I stared at her. When she was in the presence of Valerie, she didn’t dare talk too much. I never knew she was talkative.
She gasped as my eyebrows furrowed. "I apologize, my Alpha. Forgive for crossing the line". She pleaded and bowed her head.
"Follow out. I need to get dressed".
"Yes, my Alpha!". She replied to and followed out of the bathroom without hesitation.
Upon coming out of the bathroom, Valerie approached with the white bandage and the ointnt in her hands. She politely requested that I sit on the sofa, as she wanted to apply the ointnt to my injured feet.
I sat down on the sofa and allowed Valerie to do whatever she wanted to do. She opened the ointnt and applied a decent amount to both my feet. After doing that, she bandaged both feet.
’This is unprofessional. The wound isn’t that deep. Why did she have to bandage my feet?’. I thought and tried not to laugh.
I rembered that Anastasia was a spoiled brat. This kind of treatnt and care was normal.
Valerie wanted to help stand on my feet, but I instantly and straightforwardly rejected her help. I stood up on my own and went into my new dressing room with Mara.
However, Valerie stubbornly followed us, because she believed that Mara would not be able to dress to look like an Alpha.
Maya, who had returned from washing my clothes, stayed behind.
A few minutes later, I was wearing a long black strapless dress that perfectly covered the Phoenix tattoo on my leg. I have learned from my mistake.
The dress I wore at the social event, only the back of the dress was long. But the front of the dress passed my knees only a little bit. And the Phoenix tattoo ford on the side of my right leg.
Seriously, why couldn’t the elders, Beta Damien and my citizens secretly warn about it? What about Valerie? Why didn’t she warn about it? Wasn’t she there when Mara and Maya helped wear the dress?
Maybe they were all preoccupied and could not see the Phoenix tattoo?
I hope it is the sa thing for the invited werewolf packs and Alpha Dylan. I hope they didn’t see the Phoenix tattoo.
I should stay positive. Maybe that cara sound I heard earlier must have captured another person, not .
But, what about that strange presence I sensed?
I am not too powerful when it cos to sensing auras and others. But surprisingly, I was easily able to sense that person’s sweet presence, and it was not as if the person was standing next to .
Anyway, Valerie, Mara and I left the dressing room.
"I would like to have a word with you alone, Lady Valerie". I told her after we left the dressing room.
Mara and Maya understood my point. They bowed their heads and left my bedroom together, leaving and Valerie.
"Alpha Anastasia, I’m all ears". She said to while paying attention to what I would say.
"Did my mother tell you about the dream she had? I want you to tell about it".
