4. Moving In

The cell door opened once again. And my mate stood there, looking devilishly handsome as always. 

"Get up." He said calmly.

I meekly obeyed and stood up.

"Why do you want to stay in this cell? Don't you want to leave?" He asked.

No reply.

"Please, just answer me." He said quietly.

I looked down and rubbed my left arm.

"At least tell me your name mate."

My name...no one has been asking me that for more than 10 years.

"Can you at least move up and live at my house?" He tried asking me again. 

I remained silent.

He sighed and took me by my arm gently and pulled me upstairs.

I just followed him, not having any intentions of angering him at all.

At our destination, I could just stare in awe. This was even larger than where i was just now,

The house before me was so grand. Nothing like I've seen before.

I kept staring, amazed at how rich mate was.

Mate grabbed me and gently pushed me forward. As I entered the magnificent house, I kept staring at the beauty of the interior design. 

"What are we doing here?" I asked silently.

"This is my house." He replied while continue to walk up the stairs.

I stopped at the staircase.

He turned around when he realised i wasn't following him.

"Why'd you stop?"

I didn't tell him.

I didn't tell him that I'd never been allowed to go upstairs, if I do, I get 50 whips on my back. Even if it's just an accident.

I stepped back.

1 step back.

2 steps back. 

3 steps.

4 steps.

And he came down.

"Hey, it's okay. There's nobody in the house right now, you're perfectly safe." He tried reassuring me.

I lowered down my head. He took me by my wrist and led me upstairs and opened a bedroom door.

"This will be the room you're staying in. Diana will be up soon to bring you shopping." He said and left.

Shopping? Why would I need to shop?

Aren't I here to be a maid? Why am I given such a room?

Mate is an alpha.

But...that's doesn't mean I get the status as him. He is still my alpha.

No. Mate is trying to treat us well.

I sighed and sat on the comfy bed.

I heard a knock from the door and a drop-dead gorgeous girl came in.

"Hi! My name's Diana. My brother said to bring you shopping right?" She asked with an enthusiastic smile.

I shrugged my shoulders and just nodded.

"You must be his mate correct?" She asked again. 

I again, shrugged my shoulders.

"Oh well. Come on! We're going shopping!"

She quickly left the room and I just followed her.

This was the first time I've actually been to a mall.

It was so huge, and Diana just kept going in and out of every store. All I did was try to run after her.

"Yes!"

"No!"

"Yes!"

"No!"

"Yes!"

"No!"

"Yes!"

"No!"

"Yes!"

"No!"

"Yes!"

And this goes on for every store.

"Diana, can I ask you a question?" I asked.

"Of course!" She said while looking through the racks. 

"Um, why are we buying so many clothes for me? Aren't I just a maid?"

She stopped at her tracks and faced me wiith shock. 

"A m-maid?" She repeated my question. 

"Yeah."

"Sweetie." She sighed.

"You are the alpha's mate. You are a Luna. You are not a maid." She explained.

"But that doesn't mean I get the same things as Alpha." I protested.

I didn't tell her.

I didn't tell her that all my life I've been told lunas just carry alpha's pups and only used for pleasure. I didn't tell her my Luna had died due to abuse.

"What?! Nonsense! Lunas and Alphas are the same status. They receive the same respect! Only with a Luna and alpha is a pack completed." She exclaimed.

I lowered down my head. And then, I felt soft arms wrapping around my body.

She was...hugging me?

We've never had such a close contact in more than 10 years.

I know.

It's feels nice.

I can agree on that Kyra.

I hugged her back.

"Thank you." I said.

"For what?"

"For hugging me. No one has ever done that for 15 years."

I widened my eyes. Did I just say that out loud?

"Oh my. I'm so sorry honey."

I quickly pushed her away out of instinct. 

"I don't need your sympathy!"

And I ran off.

I heard her calling out to me but I just ran faster and out to the forest.

I used my werewolf speed and ran the furthest.

I've never ran so much in 15 years. Kyra, has never been out in 15 years.

Let me shift!

I shifted and in 15 years, Kyra was let out. She ran through the forest, feeling so free.

We ran for about an hour before feeling tired.

I've never felt so free in more than 10 years!

You feel good huh?

Very!

We came across a random lake. Kyra sat down and breathed in and out, inhaling the fresh air. It was so refreshing.

Kyra took a sip of the water. Her nose went too deep and she shook the water out of her nose. She laughed. And so did I.

I haven't laughed for so long.

She sat down and we just watched the sunset together. But not long, it was already nightfall.

We decided to head back. Kyra sniffed the air and went to mate's scent.

Wow, I realized I still don't know mate's name. We went closer and closer and soon the same mansion appeared in front of us.

I took a deep breath and opened the door. I took a look around and saw no one.

Phew!

And then, strong arms suddenly wrapped around my waist from behind. 

I gasped in shock.

"Where were you?" He asked huskily, his grip getting tighter and tighter.

"Nowhere Alpha. Please forgive me." I removed his hands gently. 

"Why would you call me alpha?" He asked behind my back.

I didn't tell him.

I didn't tell him even my luna calls her mate alpha. If she didn't, she would be raped by other male members. 

"Respect for someone higher than me." I replied.

"Don't."

"Don't?"

"Don't call me alpha."

"Why not?"

"Because you're my mate, my Luna. You need not call me that."

"If the luna need not call you alpha, then your mate must be that bitch I was strangling in the cells."

"Its not-"

"Goodnight Alpha. I'll start work tomorrow at 5." And I left.

"What? There is no w-"

I closed the bedroom door behind him and went to the shower. I felt the hot water trickling down my spine. It was like a warm blanket wrapping around my body. Protecting me from anything.

I smiled silently and leaned back in the shower, thinking about my life right now and what had happened in such a short time

The water continued to run down my body, and I enjoyed every drop of it. After a few minutes, I reluctantly left the shower and wrapped the soft fluffy towel around my body, feeling so fresh. so new.

I changed into some pajamas Diana had bought for me and slipped into the soft covers of the bed.

Before long, I slipped into a nice and loving dream.
