Chapter 3 Be my personal maid

Dark Moon Kingdom

***Aurora's POV***

Two days passed by without water and food. I felt like I was dying. It was not easy for me as I have never gone through such torture before in my life.

The third day came and I was whipped. I was whipped thirty times. I cried so hard and my body was sore as I was taken back to my cell. My butt was sore and red. I couldn't sit, I just had to stand.

I wonder how I endured such pain and torture, maybe my pride.

Fourth days came and I was whipped but this time sixty times. All my energy was drained and I was carried to my cell as I couldn't walk anymore.

I felt like my life was slowly draining out of my body. Blood was oozing from my back and mouth and I had lots of tears from where I had been whipped. I decided to swallow my pride. I'm not going to be taking this anymore. I'm dying.

"Take me to your king," I begged and begged the guard who refused. At this point, I'd do anything to get food and water even if it's to lick Alpha Blaze's shoes.

After an hour of begging, my cell was opened and I was taken to the palace.

"Thank God." My subconscious added.

I knelt before him as usual and his left eye was covered.

"Why does he always cover that part of his eyes with his hair? How does he see with one eye?" I asked myself.

"Why are you looking for me?" He asked. His husky voice echoed through the room.

"I need food and water please," I begged. My lips were patched and my throat was dry.

"And why should I? Thought you could endure the seven days punishment?" He said and I shook my head slowly.

"Save me." Those were the last words I said before I blacked out.

***Blaze's POV***

I still couldn't get my mind off that crazy woman. After dealing with royal affairs and the sudden breach of our border by some people from the Bloodmoon kingdom. They were brought to me and I watched as they begged for their life. My hatred for those selfish people would never end until I got rid of them all. Their king and their princess and the people of Bloodmoon kingdom disgust me. I beheaded them all and asked my guards to burn their bodies. I ordered my guards to bring the crazy girl to me and they did. She was already looking so tired and almost lifeless but then my wolf began to go crazy. What's wrong with me?

"I need food and water please." She begged.

I was expecting her to taunt me or insult me or call me a one-eyed man but she didn't. She was looking lifeless. Maybe I have gone too far for the punishment.

She fell on the ground and my wolf went crazy.

"Calm down Fred. Call down." I said to my wolf.

"Should I dispose of her sir?" My guard who brought her asked.

Is he crazy? Why would he dispose of her? "Take her to my chambers and call the doctor," I ordered and he rushed off.

I walked to and fro waiting for news about her but I never got one. I walked to my chambers and the doctor was already there taking care of her. Her skin was torn because of the whips. My wolf went crazy again. Seeing her skin torn and blood oozing. I went outside and turned into my wolf. Half wolf half human. My wolf howled and screamed.

I turned back and went back to my throne.

"What's wrong with me? Why do you always go crazy whenever you see her injured?" I asked my wolf and it went silent.

"What's wrong with me? This crazy girl came from nowhere and now I don't understand myself. If she was to be another person, I would have killed the person but I didn't." I asked myself.

Something's wrong. Something is wrong.

***Aurora's POV***

I batted my eyelashes as I struggled to stand up but the pains stinging me at once wouldn't allow me to. My clothes were different from the ones I was wearing when I was in the dungeon. Though my blood had stained this new one it was better than the last.

I turned and I saw Alpha Blaze standing above me. I was scared. For someone who could order for me to be whipped mercilessly could get me killed.

"Are you okay?" He asked

"Yes sir. I am." I answered.

"Good. That means she can work now." He said and I looked around.

"Work?" I asked. What kind of work could he possibly be talking about? I've never had to do any work before in my life.

"She can but not too hard. She's still weak She has been out for four days sire." A strange man spoke. He seems to be a doctor.

"I don't care. As from now on, you are my maid." He said and honestly, I was forced to laugh. I stopped when the pains began to sting me again.

"Do you care to tell me why you're laughing?" He asked

"What do you mean? Me? Maid?" I fired back.

"Do you need to go back to that dungeon before your brain shifts back to the point of equilibrium?" He asked and I jumped out of the bed.

I felt weak but I had to do that, just to survive. I need to find a way to leave this kingdom and go back to my father's.

"What do you need me to do sir?" I bowed.

"To the kitchen. Get me something to eat." He ordered and I went off instantly. I reached the lobby, looked to and fro and remembered I didn't ask for where the kitchen was.

I went back and he stood up from his bed.

"Where's the food?" He asked.

"I don't know where the kitchen is," I answered and an evil smirk curled up on the side of his face.

"And you think I know?" He asked and I knew better not to pester him further. I will need to find the kitchen on my own.

I went back outside and walked forward. The palace was very beautiful. So many statues of men holding their bows and swords as I passed.

I met a woman carrying some ingredients in a basket. 'Thank God.' She was tall and chubby She had red hair and her face was beautiful.

I had been walking around the huge palace and I hadn't seen anyone in sight apart from the guards. I asked them where the kitchen was but they were mute. They didn't even say anything.

"Hello." I greeted and she looked at me. Why wouldn't she anyway? The cloth I was wearing was stained with blood.

"What do you want? Guess you're new." She said and I nodded.

"I'm Aurora. The king's maid." I introduced myself and she smiled.

"I hope you last two weeks. What do you want?" She asked.

"I need to find the kitchen." I said and she just said," Follow me." And I did immediately.

We got to the kitchen and it was really big. I've never been to the kitchen my whole life. There were lots of women working in the kitchen.

"Here's the kitchen." She said and left my side.

What was I going to do? I don't even know how to light the fire. I didn't even know what ingredients are used when cooking. I just stood still, confused as to what the other women were doing.

"Here. Take this to the dining." She came back and handed me a tray. Soon the other women stood up, holding trays containing food, fruits and water. I followed them and we placed them in the dining.

"Go call the Alpha." She said and I nodded.

I went back to his chambers.

"The food is ready," I announced and he followed me.
