**LEILA**

Fluttering my lashes to adjust to the light rays in the room was quite a huge task because it felt like I would go blind if I tried to open my eyes again.


My eyes felt heavy to open but each time I tried to open them, it almost felt like I wasn't in the world but in another planet where the only thing I was capable of seeing was the stupid white light..

Though the act was painful and kind of annoying because I had to try several times, still tried again and this time everything was a haze until slowly the mist began disappearing a room, a well decorated room at that.

This didn't look in any way like the room I stay in when I'm with uncle Antonio and I was forced for a split moment to believe that perhaps I was caught in a nightmare all these while and had finally awoken back in my bed, in my home and pack,Alpha Xander's pack.


But then it hit me that my room in Alpha Xander's pack wasn't decorated with flowers and the walls weren't painted with baby pink and turquoise.

"You're finally up, princess. I honestly thought it would take a few more days but I'm glad." A male's baritone voice spake up and I twisted my head towards the direction of the voice.


The voice was familiar anyways but I still had to make out the face so swerving, my face came in contact with the least expected person to be here.

"Lucian!" I called and instincts immediately pushed me to sit up.

"Yes princess." He called and I scoffed as how he had drugged me replayed in my memory.

"Kidnapping me huh? I'm sure you also staged the attack." I shot and he stared at me for a few minutes like he was contemplating if he was supposed to answer before shrugging his shoulders.

"You're right." He simply stated and I couldn't help but stare in bewilderment. People were really unpredictable because who would have thought that Lucian who acted almost like he didn't exist would have the nerves to stage a kidnap and war.

"Now I don't know if I'm to say that you're psychotic but why? Why did you kidnap me? What do you want with me and what have you done to my uncle?" I yelled at the top of my voice as I stood up from the bed matching his glare.

Okay, this was so unlike me! I don't know where the sudden surge of energy and strong will was coming from but it was just there and it kept flowing in, free course unhindered and I resolved to make good use of it while it lasted.

"Firstly, do I need to remind you that you're my fated mate? You belong to me either ways. And calm down, I'm not a monster. I didn't do anything to your uncle and his family, I just want you to know that you belong here." Lucian rasped out and I think it was fair enough for me to say that this guy had completely lost his mind.

"Don't worry, the maids would see to it that you're uncomfortable." He stated and with that, he sauntered out of the room like what he did wasn't wrong in any way.

Few minutes later, a soft knock came on the door and that was when I realized that I was still standing at the sane point that I stood before Lucian left and obviously he would be the one at the door.

Why was he knocking now like he had any posterity left in him?

The knock came again and I left my nerves to act up on their own free will as I marched to the door in annoyance.

"What do you want from me?" I barked opening the door when I saw that the person at the door wasn't him but a lady dressed in maid attires.

if my guess is right then she's obviously a maid.

"Good morning Luna, Alpha told us to take Care of you while he's away." She stated with her heads bent towards the ground and I felt my tongue roll up to the cliff of my mouth as she called me Luna.

I wanted to ask why she had called me Luna hut that would be the most obvious and ridiculous questions ever.

"Luna, may I come in?" She asked when I still stood in the doorway like some kind of statue and her voice pulled me out of my ocean of thoughts saving from me drowning.

"You would but i don't think there is much you can do for me now." I stated and she stared at me with a hint of confusion in her eyes.

"Alpha said I should take care of your wounds." She announced but it sounded more like she was reprimanding me Because I didn't remember I had any wounds. Now that she speaks of it, I finally see the first aid kit strapped in her hands and I open the door wider so she can come in.

Few minutes later and she was done with cleaning my wounds when I heard another knock on the for and the maid rushed to go and get it.

"Good morning Amaya." The maid greeted from the door inclining her heads towards her feet and I decided that whoever was at that door was this amiss superior. I hadn't even asked her name yet and I pinched myself, mentally telling myself not to forget that without making friends, there is no way I would be able to get out of here.

"What are you doing in the Luna's room?" The other female who the first maid had called Am a ya questioned and the more they called me Luna, the more i felt cringe.

The maid explained that she was attending to my wounds and the next thing, I heard a resounding sound land on the first maids face.

"Why would you attend to the Luna's wounds when nobody has ran her bath water? She's supposed to get clean before disinfecting her wounds." Amaya yelled as the fist girl who i suppose was a regular maid shuddered in fear.

"What's going on here?" I questioned and Amaya's eyes went soft as she muffled a smile.

"Oh its nothing much Luna. I'm Amaya, the head maid of the palace." She introduced herself as she bowed and I rolled my eyes.

There was something about her aura that reminded me of Amelia in a bad way.

"She made a mistake of disinfecting the wounds before I washed up and that earned her a slap?" I asked, my eyes filled with pain as I gazed down at Amaya.

"It was such a flimsy mistake, she should learn from it." Amaya stressed and an idea popped up in my head making the edge of my lips coil up in a smile.

"What's your name?" I asked the maid who had her head bent and she answered; "Tenila."

"Alright Tenila, raise your head up. I want you to slap Amaya as hard as you can, if the slap doesn't satisfy me; I'm slapping her myself."

"Luna."

"What?"
