Iris's POV
"What training?" I was confused when he said training.
"Iris don't play dumb with me, it's your first day...'
"It's still very early, you should go and come back."
"I can't, if you are not standing up from the bed, you should leave the castle."
"Oh please, it hasn't gotten to that." I stand reluctantly, I know he is a beast and he could throw me out, but I pull the door open, I am so tired, he should at least let me recover fully first, I wasn't expecting that the training would start so fast. Resting on the doorframe, I thought of what to tell him then it hit me that, I don't have wears, that could be a lovely alibi
"I don't have anything to wear." I rest my back on the doorframe folding my hand across my chest, I was expecting him to say something, but he didn't his eyes were on my lips. "Did you get what I say?" My voice pulled him from his thoughts.
"Uh!!!" He look confused, What is wrong with him? Why is he staring at me like that?
"He is admiring you, can you just seduce him, so he will let his guard down and forget about the training because I too am tired?"
"Stop talking nonsense. I pushed Sally to the back of my head. Rupert..."
"Oh, I will get you something to wear."
I sighed, I was thinking, that he was just going to let me off the hook but he return with some sweatpants, a T-shirt, and jeans, I looked at them.
"It's too big."
"I know those are what you be wearing, you will wear baggy clothes, I don't want to see any of your skin."
"Why?"
"Don't question me, I should give you the rules if you are to stay here. You need to live by my rules"
"Rules?"
"Of course, rules should be attached to everything that you do, if not you will take them for granted." I try so much not to roll my eyes at his words.
"First of all, little girl."
"I am not a little girl, I am..."
"It's not important, Listen here."
"What is he doing, is he trying to get back at me because I called him old?"
"This is my territory; you will do as I say. I will only be addressed as Prince Rupert by you; We are NOT friends, you are just my maid. You will do what I say when I say it. You will not try to be friends with any other. And you will NEVER wear clothes like the one you wore when you arrived here. Not at home or even in the training ground" he growls as his eyes scan my body, looking at the shirt that he gave to me, that is just after my bum. Did you get..."
"Yes," I sigh, already knowing he will make my life a living hell all in the name of giving me some useless training. Maybe, it's all a bad idea to want to be trained by this beast, I should have just gone with Mason or Ariana but I don't think any of them can protect me like this old man with zero sense.
"He is not an old man, he is just nineteen and you are seventeen and I guess his vampire might not be up to a thousand years not even a hundred." Sally scoffed.
"Whatever?" I scoffed too and made my gaze back to him, his lips parted
"Yes, what?" Rupert growls, bending down closer to my face, and his scary face was just an inch to my face, what is he doing, is he trying to scare me, his face is really scary when it's so close and I know I should be afraid, but something deep within me tells me not to fear this silly old man that is in front of me, trying to scare me with his face, what is thinking that everyone will cower at his sight, fine, I know his sight is something that could make other wolf cower but this stubborn she-wolf in front of him never
"Yes, Prince Rupert," I mutter, trying so hard not to roll my eyes at his stupid request but come to think of it. I am the one begging, I am the one in need of help, so it will be risky if I start bullying him as well.
"Good," he says, "Secondly, you will not whistle, no laughing, no sing, no dancing, and above all you will not talk to anyone except me, my voice should be the only thing, you listen to and you will stay away from all guys."
"Is that supposed to be part of a rule, I should stay away from all guys, who will I even talk to?"
"Did you get me?" I inhale loudly, I am the one in need of help, so I should tolerate him, patience, you should tolerate him till you get what you want and then you will kick his balls
"Yes, Prince Rupert."
"Perfect." He nods his head in approval. "Get yourself out of there, I will be waiting outside, remember ten minutes, if not you will get punished."
"I get it..."
"What?"
"Sorry, Prince Rupert." I added that part with gritted teeth, although I called him Prince Rupert before now, why do I Suddenly get irritated when he asks that I call him that? If there is one thing I hate, is people telling me what to do or how to address them
He glared at me before stomping away down the hallway and going out of the castle through the stairs to wait for me outside, it was frustrating, "how do I deal with this annoying brat?"
"Iris, you are not going to stand here? Thinking of all the bad things you are going to do to him, remember, you are still under probation."
I tittered at the use of Sally's words, I hurried into the bathroom, having a quick bath, I hurried out as well, and come to think of it, am I not supposed to eat?
"Let's go before he scolds you."
"Are you scared of him?" I asked watching myself in the mirror, the baggy clothes irritated me, I love fancy clothes, not the ones I am wearing and to think it's oversized.
"Do I fucking have a choice? I have to leave with the Lord's choice." It's more than ten minutes when I finally get ready, and slowly and reluctantly I walked out of the castle.
"I..."
"What takes you long?"
"I was..."
"I said ten minutes but if you are disappointed, you will get punished for it."
"Punish?"
"Yes, you will follow my car while I ride to the training ground."
"What? I don't even know the road."
"You will follow the car."
"What?" He didn't wait to answer any of my questions, he got into the car and started riding. The speed was slow, so I could be able to follow.
"Perfect, if you think you want to stress me then I am going to stress you as well."
"Iris, what are you going to do now?" Sally pushed herself from the back of my head.
"Watch me." I reduced my step, I was moving slower than a snail, and I noticed he would drive and stop, I wasn't even anywhere close to him when he was already at the end, I was still very far. He horned for me to increase my step but I didn't budge, I paid no attention to him when he got tired he rolled the car back to me, and I giggled at my action.
"Little one, get into the car." I pinned my lips, as my lips curved in lopsided as a result of the devilish smile that was creeping into my face, I masked my smile and prevented myself not to laughing.
"I thought you said you are hard. You don't know I am here to break you and show that I am more stubborn." I murmured.
"What did you just say?"
"Uh!"
