C2 Chapter 2

I gulped while looking at the man in front of me. His eyes were red, and I could smell the alcohol on him. I know that this man was drunk, and maybe that was the reason why he brought me here! But he said that he was my mate!

"Don't come anywhere near me!" My hands and feet trembled as I stared at the man in front of me.

"You're my mate!" Even though the man's voice was faint, I could hear the words he had left out.

I gulped, unaware that the man in front of me was my Mate.

I do not have the capacity to detect or recognize my mate's scent like werewolves do. I catch no smell from the man who claims to be my mate.

"Why did you bring me here if you're my mate?" I inquired of the man.

The man remained silent. When I noticed the man approaching me, I took a step back.

We were in the woods, and I already knew what the man intended to do to me.

My legs and entire body trembled, causing me to lose my balance and fall to the ground. The man stooped slowly in front of me and caressed my cheek.

I was unable to move or speak. I could tell the man's blue eyes were filled with lust for me, which was why I bit my lips.

A few moments later, the man lightly lifted my chin. As his face approached me, the man closed his eyes.

"What exactly..." When our lips met, I couldn't finish what I was about to say.

Because of the unexpected kiss between the two of us, my stomach seemed filled with butterflies. I couldn't explain how I felt as long as I knew I was seemed floating in the skies.

I closed my eyes. I didn't even know how to kiss because it was my first time, but now, it appears that I am an expert because I kiss back at the him.

To accentuate our kiss, the man gripped my nape. I also grabbed the man's cheek, making our kiss even hotter.

The man trod on me. I didn't notice that my garments were progressively removed since I was too preoccupied with the man's kiss.

The moon watched what was going on between us. The heat of our bodies dissipated from the frigid atmosphere. The chirping of insects acted as background music for the two of us.

Soon, the man had stripped all of my clothes, and we began to trade the warm isolation of our bodies. I want to push him, but I can't. I don't know why, but I felt like I am in the clouds, dancing with the air!

The light shining through the tree branches dazzled me when I opened my eyes. I sprung to my feet as I recalled what had happened last night.

When I stood up, I discovered my garments on the ground. I took a slow look at myself and saw my bare body.

I felt a tingling sensation in my body, particularly in my back and private parts. I swallowed since I knew why I was in this circumstance.

I immediately gathered my belongings in order to dress. I rolled my eyes where I should have passed as I dressed.

I knew nothing about this woodland because I never came to this place. I have no idea how to return to the palace.

I was trapped in the woods for several hours before I was able to escape and return to the palace. When the royal guards spotted me, they couldn't help but notice my appearance. It was also difficult for me to walk as if I had been in an accident.

The guards let me in since they knew I was a maid at the palace. I headed to our room to change my dress and take a shower. Eury had just returned from the palace when I arrived at our room.

Eury approached me with shock on her face as soon as she spotted me.

"What happened to you, and where have you been?" Eury inquired, concerned, as she examined my physique.

I mumbled back to Eury, "nothing-nothing."

"Nothing? Gab, you look like a hurricane has hit you! Your hair is a mess, and your clothes are torn!" Eury inquired, perplexed.

I bent my head before responding, "I was feeling heated last night, so I went outside to cool off. I considered leaving the palace and going to the woods. I didn't anticipate being chased by a wild animal, " I lied to my friend.

Eury's eyes widened as a result of what I said. "Gab, why did you leave the palace and go to the woods? What you did was extremely dangerous!" Eury gave me a sermon.

I remained silent as Eury preached to me.

"Next time, don't leave the palace to avoid putting your life in danger! Let's walk inside the room, and you need to prepare yourself since we need to be inside the palace right now. Veronica was seeking for you earlier, but I told her you were sick," Eury gave the order.

I only nodded to my friend. We walked inside the room together. I moved swiftly to get ready. We entered the palace together after I completed bathing and changing my clothes as a maid and went straight to the kitchen to make lunch for the Alpha King family.

"Let's move faster, Gab. Because the other maids were sent to buy supplies for Prince Javier's welcoming celebration, we will now serve Alpha Bernard's family," Eury informed me.

The remaining maids in the palace were busy preparing the dining area and placing the food on the dining table as a result of what Eury said. Alpha Bernard and Luna Gladys entered the dining room exactly when we finished.

Alpha Bernard sat in the center of the dining table, with Luna Gladys on his right side.

I returned to the kitchen to retrieve the last meal that we would prepare, but they forgot to put it on the dining table.

Alpha Bernard and Luna Gladys' son arrived just in time when I returned to the dining room.

I came to a halt, my eyes widening. While looking at Alpha and Luna's son, I accidentally let go of the food I was carrying.

Everyone turned to gaze at me as a result of what had happened.

'This can't be happening!' I thought to myself as I stared at the man who was also staring at me.

'Was the man last night Alpha Javier? Does it means he is my Mate?' I questioned myself, unbelievable.
