Chapter 6
Amelia's POV
News got out fast as wildfire that the Alpha had chosen his slave as his maid.
The whole village saw the Alpha in a different light, as a good man who never discriminated between the omegas and the strong werewolves.
But, I couldn't help but detest the Alpha the more.
It was clear that he was only using me for his own selfish motives.
I had no choice but to stay put and act as his Luna, even though many plans ran through my head.
Getting up from the bed, I hastened my pace to the kitchen to prepare the King's coffee as usual.
I walked into the kitchen with my head high, ignoring Annie and her group and went over to where Eloise stood, holding a tea cup with a charming smile as she saw me.
Eloise has been a great friend since I was brought into the palace.
Her welcoming smile and calm nature made her stand out among others who all fought to win the Alpha, who didn't care about them.
“Good morning, Eloise,” I greeted with a warm smile.
I took the cup from her and prepared the coffee quickly and took it to the Alpha's room.
“Click”
The door was opened by Bellamy, who let me into the room.
I rolled my eyes when I found Annie trying to dress up hastily, when she found me.
It seems, someone has just gotten a rejection. I smirked, holding back my laughter as I handed the coffee to Zane and was about heading out when he called out to me.
“Amelia” he called with a sultry, and husky voice that got me wet in the pants.
My face flushed in embarrassment, as my body reacted to him in that manner.
I felt some jelly sliding down my legs as he spoke.
I could barely hear what he said to me as I was lost in my own imaginative world.
“Amelia!!!”
I jumped out of my skin, at the mention of my name.
I could see the bland expression on Zane's face, as he looked at me in bewilderment and shook his head before dropping the cup in the tray and walking out of the room.
Following Alpha Zane with slow pace at his back, I headed to the kitchen only to be stopped by Annie and her gang.
“Seems they are really out for me now!” I thought out loud.
“Hey bitch, stop there.” Eliora, one of the kitchen stewards stopped me as they all approached me.
I could feel Annie's piercing gaze sending daggers at me with each step she took.
I stood fixated at my spot waiting for trouble to approach me with curiosity if she had to say.
“Why did you stay so long in the Alpha's room?”
She asked me with contempt laced in her voice that had a hint of maliciousness and jealousy in it.
“Serving the Alpha his coffee,” I replied nonchalantly, which provoked Annie.
“Why not tell me, how else did you serve Alpha Zane?
Did you serve him with your ass wide open too?” Annie questioned me as she covered the space between us.
“And what if I did?” I ridiculed her.
“You!!!” Annie seethed in anger, gnashing her teeth as she flared up angrily, launching forward violently to attack me.
She threw herself at me, throwing her fist in the air aiming at me.
Every action happened so fast that I couldn't respond to my reflex action to counter the attack.
I stood there, caring about the mug in my hands, as I held it protectively.
All of a sudden, a big arm wrapped me over my waist and shoulders and pushed me sideways, as we fell to the ground, rolling together.
I was shocked, as I couldn't imagine who would've saved me from that situation.
Though the manly cologne filled my nose and made me longed for his touch.
At that moment, my desires took over, and I wished that this moment would never end.
I closed my eyes to have a little fun while secretly longing for more.
“Sorry” I dashed up with a hot and red face at my thoughts.
“Sorry s.” my words hanged in my throat when I realized that I was saved by Alpha.
I tried to distance myself from him, but Zane pushed me into his arms.
I stayed there with no choice, embarrassed at my thoughts.
“Annie, who gave you the rights to bully someone in my palace,” he fumed.
“She's indeed learning from her master, like master like servant,” I sneered disgustedly inwardly.
“I'm. Sorry, Alpha” I just wanted to put her in her place.
“Errmmmm..” I laughed inwardly, watching her stammer like a wounded dog.
“Well, I think you should be put in your place for insulting my Luna,” Zane stated.
“Alpha, Zane, you can't do that!” She exclaimed, looking at me with much hatred evident in her eyes.
“Bellamy, take her and her companions away” Alpha Zane ordered.
At this point, the other maids fell before the Alpha and I, crying and wailing as they asked for forgiveness.
“We didn't join to bully Ame, Luna”
“Annie pushed us into this”
They all complained bitterly, pushing the blames on Annie.
“Take them away!!” Alpha Zane bellowed.
“Stop!!!” He ordered them. I could see the glimpse of hope in their eyes, as they looked at Alpha Zane in expectation.
“Amelia is my Luna and you will Accord her the respect she deserves.” He said to them when we got to their front.
“I'm I understood?” He asked.
“Yes my Alpha” they all replied in unison.
“Good, you can now take them away, Bellamy”.
Their faces turned sour when they heard the Alpha's instruction.
The entire palace was in chaos that morning at what happened.
Meanwhile, Alpha Zane took me to the assembly hall, where we met all the domestic staff gathered there waiting for an announcement from the Alpha.
After we climbed the podium, the Alpha addressed the people.
“We all must have heard that I've chosen Amelia as my Luna, and I'm here to confirm the rumors to you, that it is indeed true that I've chosen Amelia as my Luna.”
My face was as red as ever, I hadn't expected this announcement to be made as soon as this, but something bigger was about to shock me more.
“With that being said, I expect you all to prepare for the ritual ceremony tonight,” Alpha Zane said.
