Chapter
'We should be careful Octavia' I heard my wolf's broken voice. It really hurts. Yeah we should be more careful but I still couldn't understand... didn't he treat me gently? he wasn't lying and his eyes showed the love he had for us. I should be strong and I should go home again, with that thought I got off of the bed and went into the bathroom. After I showered I came out and saw a woman inside the room. I was shocked and scared. She looked at me and I saw the shocked face of her. She stared at me for a while and smiled. She really had a sweet and gentle smile with her.
"Princess... I bought clothes and food for you." Princess? Why did she call me that?
"What did you call me?" I asked with a low voice. She came to me and bowed her head with a smile.
"Aren't you crown prince's mate?" She sweetly said as she looked at me.
"Crown prince? Ervin?" I asked her with a surprise as she nodded at me. How did she know that I'm his mate? and he is the crown prince?
"His highness asked me to take care of the princess while he's away." She smiled with me again and took out a long beautiful floral frock.
"Princess please bear to wear this for today. This is the only new dress that I could find. His highness will bring good clothes for you princess." She said with a worried look on her face.
"Call me Octavia" I told her because I'm not a princess in this kingdom and that word reminds me of my family and it really hurts.
"My apology princess..... I can't do that. His highness will kill me." What? Kill her? I looked at her and saw the fear and gratitude she held for Ervin.
"What's your name? We can be friends right?" I asked as I held her hands. She looked at me with a shocked face and looked at my hands. I saw the nervousness that she had and finally she smiled.
"My name is Lucy.. and princess do you really want to be friends with me?" She asked with a shy smile. She's a cute girl and she's honest and loyal. Her eyes explained everything that happened to her. She was scared and bullied by others.
"Yeah... How old are you?" I asked with a smile.
"I'm nineteen my princess." She spoke with a smile. I nodded at her and took the dress and underwear that she had for me and went into the bathroom to get changed. I thought about Ervin and he's just a complicated man. He even asked someone to take care of me while he was away. Urghh...
I stayed in the room all day while chatting with Lucy. She's just so cute. Now it's night time but still Ervin didn't come. I don't know what's wrong with him. After the dinner Lucy went to her room at 9 pm. I waited for hours and still he didn't show up. It was already eleven o'clock. I wanted to cry because I was scared. Why didn't he come back, he said that he would come around seven but now it's eleven. Then suddenly I felt a sharp pain through my chest.
"Ahh..." I clutched my frock as I tried to calm myself but that pain became worse I couldn't even breathe properly. I laid on the bed and tried to catch my breath but it didn't get better. I've never felt this kind of pain in my life. Just why now?
'Mate... He's with... another woman' What? another woman? Why? My wolf was completely broken as she spoke. Am I not good enough for him? Am I not beautiful? I didn't want to believe it. My eyes filled with tears. I just couldn't understand why? He said don't let him see my filthy body again so because I'm filthy he went to find another woman?
'You sure? ' I asked my wolf as she howled. She was just hurt. Then suddenly the pain disappeared. I knew it hurt me for a few minutes but those few minutes felt like a few hours. I waited for him to come but he didn't come so I didn't know at what time I fell asleep.
"My princess, wake up" I heard someone talking to me. As I opened my eyes I saw Lucy smiling brightly at me. I got up from the bed and smiled at her.
"Princess, His highness has sent clothes for you." I saw so many boxes on the table and on the floor.
"Wash yourself princess, I'll keep them in his highness's closet" With that Lucy picked up a few boxes and went to Ervin's closet.
"Lucy, Does your crown prince have a girlfriend?" I didn't know why I asked it but I wanted to know. Lucy looked at me with a shocked face and shook her head.
"No princess. His highness never had a single woman by his side till now. Princess is the first one." She told me and I knew she's telling the truth, but he was with a woman yesterday right? My wolf cannot be wrong. I was just too hurt to think about him now so I went into the bathroom and took a shower. Ervin didn't even come last night and also in the morning.
...................
~ Ervin ~
I came to my senses as I heard 'the king wants to meet you'. My whole damn body froze on the spot, 'Dad wants to meet me'. Then I realized what I was doing just now. I was on the top of Octavia's body while she was laying naked beneath my body. I quickly got off her. I just couldn't control myself, her body made me go weak. Her touch, her fragrance and her fucking beauty made me want to mark her and make her mine. Her figure is just so fucking amazing, smooth skin, fucking slim waist and I could cover her waist from my palm, I could still feel the pleasure of her breasts against my body as I looked at her body. Moon goddess has given me the best gift I could ever have in my life.
My soul was just lost in her but I should protect her and I just can't be selfish and make her mine and let her suffer. I didn't want to hurt her but at the same time I had to hurt her. That's the only way I could protect her. I should just let everyone see that she's nothing to me. Suddenly Octavia covered her body with a blanket. Fuck I was just staring at her body, then I looked at her face and saw she was scared and confused because of my sudden actions. Her body makes me weak so I couldn't let that happen. My wolf's sanity was gone as he looked at his mate laying under him with her naked body, my father would definitely find out if my wolf behaved in this way. Fuck.
