A wooden door with carvings and ancestral designs stood before me. Without much thought i pushed open the door and was met with a spacious royal bedroom.

It now made sense why everything looked so majestic and protocol led. I was on royal lands all this time, surrounded by royal guards and the King himself.

I had heard of him while i was in Redwood but it was barely of importance to me. Never had i thought i would leave Redwood pack, so knowing what was beyond surely was of no interest to me. Now to think of it, i was really unprepared to leave my pack and family like this.

And i am very much aware that the only reason i am alive and breathing right now is because his wolf has unfinished business with mine.
Otherwise i was as good as dead.

After the encounter with his beast earlier, his guards and the red-haired woman whose name is Cassandra, took me away from him. He must have mind-linked them to take me away from him. He was losing control and i was thankful when they came in.

A tall handsome male with striking green eyes held my mate away from me, while Cassandra led me out of the room. I assumed he must have been close to that male, with how he relaxed into his hold.

" Here's your room" smiled Cassandra.
She had seemed really strict and rather unfriendly but my opinion of her has changed completely now.

" Thank you Cassandra"
"Oh please call me Cassie, i never really liked the name Cassandra" she laughed and i joined.

" Well for what it's worth i think it's a beautiful name. But i'll admit Cassie sounds a lot more easier"

" My name is Nora" and i extended my hand for her to shake. But then i retracted it immediately thinking that maybe she was expecting a reverence or something. I was among Royals and that shouldn't be forgotten.

" It's ok, i'm a normal pack member. You don't have to be formal or whatever" and she extended her hand again for me to shake.

" you will be staying here in the time being until...well until Alpha gives us orders to move your things to his castle"

" His castle?" I asked confused.

" Yes, this is the pack house. Alpha spends his days here in his office but he lives at the Palace. And so will you"

The realization finally dawned upon me. I was staying here, with my mate who might i add does not want me. And i still had to find the answers to my questions.

Right now however, i was extremely tired. The exhaustion from those past twelve days now hit me full force that i had no energy to say anything.

I just smiled at her and closed the door to my now living accommodation for who knows how long.

I must say, the interior was as breathtaking as the outside view. The room was not big but not small either. A twin sized bed stood in the middle with bedside tables on either side, holding vintage lamps each. A huge beige rug was found beneath the bed, adding dimension to the small room. It was really pretty. The only disappointment and complain i had was the lack of natural lighting. There were no windows but only some sort of transom window just above the bed.

Another surge of disappointment occurred when the other door beside the entrance door revealed a closet. This meant that i was not granted with an attached bathroom and usually i wouldn't care but considering i was going to live in a royal pack house with hundreds of male roaming around, you could understand my discomfort.

A huge sigh left my chapped lips as i let my body fall onto the bed with a bounce. The mattress was so soft and warm, just further inviting the sleep i battled to keep at bay until now and without realizing, i fell into a deep slumber.
