Chapter 14 Be My Woman

“I would say not,” the Beta said quickly. “It’s too risky to do anything else. Besides, if what she says is tr ue, Miss Chambers has been misrepresenting you, Alpha.”

All I could gather was that Jake thought the prince should do something with me, and the prince didn’t t hink it was a good idea. Text © 2024 NôvelDrama.Org.

If it had been the other way around, I might be nervous, but from the few brief interactions I had with Jake, he wasn’t one to suggest harming someone for no reason.

“All right, you take over from here.” With that, Theo’s dark eyes penetrated through mine one more time before he turned around and strode out of the pavilion. I heard his boots echoing on the stairs before J ake even began to speak.

From the bottom of the stairs, Theo called, “Perceval!” and the snake took off heading down the stairs, pausing at the top to look back at me. I sign aled for him to go to his rightful owner.

“Beta Jake,” Lasked, trying to hide my nervousness. “What is my punishment this time then?”

“Well, Miss, I’m afraid I have no choice…” he paused, and my heart sank as he continued, “but to put y ou in a position where we can keep you safe until the next blood moon when we can replant the dream berry. So… you’ll be returning to your previous assignment as of tonight.” He said it with a solemn face, but I just felt that he was messing with me a

little.

My mouth dropped open. “Wait–I’m going back to stay with Prince Theo? Right next to him?”

“That’s right,” Jake confirmed for me. “And… you will be his personal attendant again. That way, we will be able to guarantee your security. Then, you will be able to help replace the berry you took, and no ha rm will be done.”

My eyes went to the berry plant. Although I hadn’t quite worked out what it did for the prince, it was quite clear to me that what I ate was far more important than I’d realize d. I could have picked from other plants, yet I chose the one that was most special.

The only good news was, for that reason, I knew I would be safe for a while.

“This way please,” Jake said, and he turned quickly on his heel to move toward the door.

I followed along behind him, not speaking, and when we stepped out into the moonlight, I saw Theo in the distance, walking quickly back toward the castle.

Perceval was slithering behind him, but as I walked behind the Beta, I couldn’t help but give a low whist le and wait.

Immediately, the snake turned around and shot back at me at full speed. I couldn’t help the light laughter that escaped my lips as he fell into step beside me.

Theo paused for a second, but then he continued without turning around. I wondered how he felt about his pet python

choosing me over him.

Maybe I shouldn’t irritate the prince in such a manner, but I just couldn’t pass up the opportunity. He too k my first kiss, and this was the least I could do to get back at him.

And it was too much fun.

***

Jake told me he would take care of everything- and he surely

did.

When I got back, the chefs had already prepared freshly cooked meals just for me and Brook, and the palace healer was also sent to ensure that Brook was okay.

I knew Brook was doing much better when I noticed that she had helped to get my bags ready.

“You didn’t have to do the packing for me, Brook. But thank you so much!”

“You’re so welcome!” she beamed. For some reason, I thought I caught a hint of mischievousness in he r smile. “I’ll miss you! Hopefully, I still get to see you sometimes.” She gave me a hug before I left our shared room.

When I hauled my luggage back to the side chamber I’d recently left, I was in a much better mood than ks to the delicious food–until I saw Sophia stepping out of the room.

She had all of her friends with her, and each of them was carrying one of her suitcases. I’d never seen so much luggage in all of my life! The room was ample size for me with my two small bags, but I was wondering how she’d managed to get all

of her clothes into the closet.

“Well, look who it is,” Sophia said, glaring at me. “The shameless girl who will do whatever it takes to h ave her way. You tramp!”

Ordinarily, I would just ignore her, but something had gotten. into me earlier, and I wasn’t willing to just let her walk away without addressing a

t least part of what she’d done.

“Why do you insist on being difficult for no reason?” I asked her. “You made that up about Brook and I not being able to eat , and now, you’re trying to tell me I’m being shameful for doing what we’re here to do–get close to the prince.”

Sophia wasn’t carrying any of her bags herself, so she was able to stomp her foot and fold her arms across her chest, humphing in front of me in the hallway. “I didn’t think the pair of you needed anything else to eat– with thighs like that,” she said, looking down at my legs.

I rolled my eyes at her. I had shapely, toned legs from all of the walking and climbing I did in the woods. And while Brook wasn’t as sporty as me, she had a slender yet curvy figure that made her stand out even among a group of beautiful girls.

“You’re ridiculous!” I told her.

“And you– if you feel that you need to throw yourself at Princel Theo because that’s why we are here, why have yo u kept bothering Prince Warren? Leave him alone! He has nothing to do with this contest, and yet you’r e constantly flirting with him as if you think he’s the one you’re here to marry and bear a child with!”

I opened my mouth to argue with her, but she had a point–we were there for Prince Theo after all.

So… why was she so concerned about Prince Warren?

Was it possible that she was actually…?

Rather than trying to guess which prince this brat of an Alpha‘ s daughter was trying to impress in the m iddle of the hallway, I leaned forward and whispered, “Sophia, like you said, I’m a girl who will do whatever it takes to have my way, so stop bothering me, or…”

I didn’t need to finish my sentence. She was already taken aback. She looked at me warily and her lips were pressed tightly t ogether as if I would do something to hurt her right at that moment.

Happy to see my bluff seemed to be working, I took the chance to move past her and head into the room.

The strong scent of gardenia perfume hit me right in the face, making my nose wrinkle immediately. It s melled as if Sophial had dumped an entire bottle of her favorite fragrance in the room, and not only did i t remind me of her, it made my head hurt.

I quickly went about changing the bedding, thinking there. was no way I would be sleeping in the same bed that she’d just vacated without doing so, and then gave everything a good scrub down. When I was done, the room smelled like citrus cleaner–and gardenia.

Exhausted, I headed to the shower to rinse off from the long night, and while I was there, my mind went back over

everything that had happened. No matter how hard I tried to hide from him, I continued to end up right next to Prince

Theo.

And then… I thought about what had happened in the pavilion.

I couldn’t believe that he had actually kissed me!

All of this time, I’d been dreaming of that one person I’d met in the forest all of those years ago, thinking of what it would be like to have his lips on mine. Now, the possibility of sharing my fir actually Prince Warren, had been ruined.

Most importantly, to Theo, he probably didn’t even consider it as a kiss! He was after that stupid blood o

Anger and embarrassment rushed through me, and I just wanted to scream. But of course I couldn’t, be

Finally, I dragged my exhausted body out of the shower.

I rang out my hair, twisting it up and fastening it with a clip. Then, I wrapped a large towel around myself and headed out into the bedroom, intending to grab some pajamas from my yet– to–be–unpacked luggage.

But when I dug them out of my bag, I noticed a few other pieces of clothing tumbling out.

My eyes almost popped out when I saw what they were.

There was some sexy lingerie in the pile where I’d placed my nightgowns! There was also piece of pape

I felt my own face flare up. Brook totally misunderstood the whole situation!

Before I got the chance to put on anything, I heard a quick knock on my door. “No!” A bleat came out of my mouth, but by then, it was too late. The door wa

Theo was standing only a couple of feet away, staring at me, his eyes slightly widened, his mouth agape

Quickly, I dove for my bed, pulling the comforter back and sliding in beneath the blankets, ripping them u

It was then that I noticed the sexy lingerie was still on the bed, and I could only imagine what he was thinking my intentions

were.

He cocked his head to the side and stared at them for a moment as my face heated up. I didn’t even bother to explain. bury myself in it?

His startled expression faded quickly, and then it was as if it was no big deal at all to him, both the fact that I was wearing nothing but a bath towel and that I had all that embarrassing lingerie.

He stood near the foot of the bed, next to one of the posts, staring at me, as if it were nothing at all to hi to be here, telling me what to do at this hour.

“Ciana,” he said, his tone commanding, “Be my woman.
