Iris POV
"Yes!!!!" I found myself jumping in excitement, his gaze moving to me and then back to those worthless men.
"With shame alpha David is about to leave.'
"Did you still want the money?" Alpha David didn't reply. "Bet you will rather have peace than have my money in your possession." Alpha David nodded. "You have nothing to worry about, I will mind my business provided none of your girls show up in my castle and you will not come back for her because she is now mind."
"What does he mean I am his?"
"Did you hear that his fangs erase that ruthless alpha David's slave imprint on you?" Sally replied I grabbed my clothes to check for the mark, but it was gone, so he saw it before, oh no, that means I have a lot to explain to him, is that the reason he wanted me to leave? He must hate me now. "But no man has touched..."
I raised my head to see if those men are still there, but his nude visited my eyes, he had just shifted back to his human form and he was standing there nude trying to fix his wears, his bum was firm and a bit bigger for a guy and his slender waist is perfect for his broad back, and his shoulder is firm, a chiseled body, instead of averting my gaze, I focus more on his nude, before he could grab his trousers up, he turned giving me a view of his front.
"Bloody shit!!!" I cursed, I closed my mouth fast but the stubborn me didn't let my eyes shut suddenly he raised his eyes only for our eyes to meet.
"Stupid, lower your gaze." He scoffed pulling his trousers to cover himself while I turned very fast.
"Oh Iris, why did you let him see that you are staring at his nude?"
"What do you expect, his nude is cute."
"Sally, can you just keep quiet?" Before Sally could reply, the door flew open, I pinned my lips together waiting for him to scold me for staring at his nude. The mere mention of that in my head, made my eyes wander to his waist, I was practically picturing his nude and his organ.
"Hey!!! What are you staring at?' He asked, I diverted my gaze in embarrassment, I was acting like some pervert.
"Nothing."
"I don't think it's nothing because you were staring at my..."
"Uh!" He turned his gaze, and now my eyes were fixed on his scary face but I found it strange because I didn't find his face disgusting or irritating, he grabbed the hood to cover his face.
"Why are you here?" I guess that question was what he was longing to ask and I thought he was not going to ask that again with alpha David showing up and wanting to take me away, it should be enough to tell the reason I am here.
"To seek solace, people are after my life and you..."
"So you came here to seek solace here? Did you know what is..."
"Yes, I have a complete idea about this place, I know the place belongs to a cursed prince, Prince Rupert, and that you are the only one that could protect..."
"Hahaha!!!" He laughed coldly but it still looked somehow lovely, I have no idea, why I found everything beautiful about him except his face. "Whoever told you that, must have forgotten to tell you that I am a beast, a monster that..."
"Don't try to scare me because I am not leaving, I am not going to leave, you told them that I am staying and that is what I am going to do."
He took a step, my heart beat fast and my hand trembled in fear, I wanted to run out, I wanted to run as fast as my legs could carry me, but I had nowhere to go, no one to protect me, I don't want to be a rogue, a weak rogue will not live to tell the story.
"I know you don't like me here, you hate to see me here, I could leave pretty fast if you train me, I could be able to fight my enemies without boring you. All I need right now is strength, I need to train so my wolf can be strong, the very minute we are strong, we will leave and never show our face to you. I promised."
His eyes didn't leave me, I spoke very fast I needed to say every word in my head, I needed to convince him, that he should agree or else, we were doomed for.
"You have nothing to worry about, I will cook..."
"I don't eat."
"Do your laundry..."
"I don't wear clothes more than once."
"Clean the house, tell you a bedtime story, I beg you find it difficult to sleep, you don't have to drink yourself to bed, I could be..."
"Who are you?"
"Uh!"
"Yes, who are you?"
"Sorry, I can't remember..."
"Are you telling lies again? Iris Bill?" I pinned my lips together at the mention of my real name, he already knows, I raised my head to stare at him, his face was still covered with the hood.
"I am sorry, just scared that you will send me away, I beg you please let me stay and I could be your maid, I will run all the errands for you and you don't have anything to worry about, I learn fast, you don't have to train me for a long time before things fall into..."
"You should leave, I bet they will not trouble you anymore, you should go."
"Oh please, help me, It wouldn't take you anything to help me, you are not that heartless."
"Of course, I am heartless, I don't have a heart, you should leave, now that you still have this breath that you are dying to save."
"You are going to kill me." He threw the hood from his head, and his face met mine, I don't know what he was trying to do, but I didn't move, in a flash he hit me on the wall, I felt the pain in my back but my eyes didn't leave him, he grabbed my neck
"Your eyes are handsome." I mouthed, in one shift, he averted his gaze from me, and slowly his hand fell off my neck, and his back was all I saw, I didn't know why he felt irritated every time, I said something about him, did he think I am mocking him? Of course, I am not, his eyes are perfect, they were bright, shining green and it's lovely, I guess I like it.
"Iris! Stop admiring a beast, there is nothing lovely about him and why didn't you let him tell you, who he is?" Sally speaks in my head.
"What do you want for me?"
"Protections." I didn't think twice before giving him a reply while fidgeting with the button of his shirt on me.
"Why will I protect a stranger...'
"My name is Iris Bill, the daughter of Alpha Bill, the alpha of..."
"Don't tell me about yourself, the only thing, I want to know is your name and I already get that, give me one reason why I should protect you and train you."
"It's because you want me out of your castle." Lame as it is, he turned and looked at me. "If you teach me everything I need to know, I will be gone, and we will act like we never met each other before."
"You should stop it, just use the door."
"Why did you hate me that much..."
"I don't hate you, I am only..."
"Is it because I spend the night in a brothel and that my fated mate rejected me and killed my parents because I am good for nothing because I bring bad luck and the man in the brothel couldn't keep his hand off..."
"Shut up!" he yelled at me, then pulled my hand, it's a good thing he didn't think of using his power to throw me out, when his other hand grabbed the door knob, I fall to the ground.
"I beg you please, I promise I will leave when I am strong enough."
"And if you didn't leave what should I do to you?"
"Kill me, I am sure, I will be strong enough to leave if you train me."
"One week!"
"That is too small a time."
"Two weeks."
"No, a month, is perfect, so let's take a month, deal." I stretched out my hand, and his gaze moved from my hand to my face, oh good let him say yes, he took a step away from me without taking my hand.
"Leave, I don't want to see you here when I returned." He walked out of the castle, and I fell on the couch, with my hair falling to cover my face, as tears streamed through my eyes, after crying for hours. Maybe, it's a bad idea, I should just leave, no need to stay, I pulled the door, it's only right to leave, when one is not welcome in a place it's best to leave if death is my end then so be it. I am fucking tired.
"You are leaving."
