Chapter 9 Meeting

Just like a Prince in shinning armor, he came to my rescue, dressed in a royal regalia and good looking. I had choked on my food and he hurriedly gave me water to drink while asking questions to which the guards gave answers to.

He was quiet, his strides showed his intelligence, he looked humble and if I didn't hear the guards address him as 'my prince', I would have mistaken him for an ordinary rich teen-wolf. His compassion didn't repel me, it only endeared him to me.

"Take her to the palace." He ordered silencing every 'buts' after I had hurriedly finished eating my food.

I was led to the majestic gate which had wolf guards all over it. Despite my wretched situation, I was thoroughly check to confirm I had no interior motive for coming into the palace.

Letting us into the palace, we went pass so many guard positioned as if in a permanent formation to fight any intruder at any time. I was stupefied by the beautiful gigantic I was seeing for the first time in my life but my eyes didn't stop looking for my savior.

I was presented to the royal families and the executives. When asked why I was found at their territory, I presented a sob-story, stretching the truth and adding lots of lies hoping I get to be an Omega in the palace to admire the one who saved me.

Just when a decision was about to be made, I thought I saw him step into the courtroom but it turned out to be someone who looked just as he did but with a different aura completely opposite from his.

"Where is Dylan?" The strict yet beautiful woman I assume to be the Luna asked and her son just shrugged.

Soon, he was with us and at the mention of 'Dylan' by his mum, my joy knew no bounds as the name stuck to my heart like thick glue.

"You brought her, so what do you think should be done?" His mum had asked as his father seem to have no interest in whatever decision was taken about a homeless pitiful teenager.

I was eager and anticipating him to let me be his servant but sadly, life doesn't work the way it does in my head. His words were.

"One of the executives can take her in, we have a lot of servants already. Sorry, I need to be out, I will be late for my history class." His words had made my shoulder drop but his next action made my eyes bulge. He walked right through the wall like the wall was just fog or a film of smoke.

I had to learn later that every wolf in Golden Wolf pack had to have an ability and one without one will be degraded to the level of an Omega as it was an insult to the pack's integrity.

Just as they were contemplating, a hard faced man offered to take me with him and in doing so, offered a fat envelope as if he carried a lot of them around in case an emergency sprang up. The money wasn't rejected by the royal treasury and soon, I was bought.

I thought my stay would be terrible since he was hard faced, but my racing mind relaxed at the sight of a pitiful plus-sized girl staring at nothing in particular from her open window. At first, she looked cute and could pass for a sister I never had since her stares were that of sadness and permit me to say, severe depression but the reality dawned on me too soon, she was way out of my league.

I was sure she was my junior but I was told by other maids who I soon got acquainted with that she was my mistress and I had to address her with utmost respect. I became envious, an emotion I had never felt before because I had no reason to.

Soon, my envy turned into hatred but the hatred dimmed when I found out she was just like me, not loved my her mum. At lease she had a dad she could really address as 'dad' though he didn't act like one.

I yearned to be close to her, at least, I'd get to be favored above others and would get to know more about her life. Maybe my envy would get dim the same way my hatred did and as a bonus, she would get to tell me about my prince charming.

An opportunity struck when I heard she refused to eat in attempt to slim down and get her mum to look at her. The gossips from other maids touched my heart, I felt whatever she was going through and demanded I take her food to her when I heard she was finally diagnosed with Ulcer.

Using an excuse of being closer to her age range, telling them I understand her better and vice versa, I was finally allowed to take her food to her.

The news of her sickness was hidden from her parents as no one was ready to go through the pain of receiving punishment for not doing their job. Though she seemed to be unloved, everyone knew better than to mess with her.

"Hello?" I had said severally after knocking gently, then hard on her door. The door that was shown to me by the head maid before she passed down the hall to do what she had to do.

Knowing that I would be left to keep knocking on the door, I opened it and stepped inside waiting for something to be thrown at me like my co-workers would always imagine or talk about their previous experience with the children of the rich but I was only greeted with thick silence and darkness.

"May I come in?" I asked after my eyes had adjusted to the darkness. Using my extraordinary werewolf ability, I could see her intense stare at me before a glint of surprise. I bet she was a little surprise to see a new face in her room.

Keeping the tray of food on the table, I decided it was a wise decision to introduced myself after the unwise decision of letting myself into her room and I did so with a large smile of my face that I felt the sides of my lips were about to touch my ears.

My left check was injured before my entrance into the pack and was still healing but I didn't care if it broke up again or if my actions would delay the healing process. Surprisingly, that was the first thing she noticed. Her genuinely asking if it didn't hurt warmed my heart and after I told her it didn't, she recoiled.

I reintroduced myself and she did same, that was the beginning of my first real relationship and it was same for her. We had a few things in common yet I felt intimidated.
