Iya's Blind Alpha

CHAPTER SEVEN

King Pietro awoken when Iya stirred in his arms.  He could not deny her beauty and charm that even now with her tangled and disorderly hair as his hands could tell, he knows she looked absolutely stunning.  If only she was not a human, Pietro sighed his thoughts away. 

"Uhm, I need a toilet break please."  Iya announced.

"Gaspar, stop at the nearest decent hotel on the way.  Rene, search online for a hotel."  Pietro commanded.

Iya tried to slide down from the king's lap to the sit but Pietro stopped her. 

"My legs hurt.  Your legs are not that comfy, you know.  It's been 3 hours, for sure your legs need a rest too.  And besides I do not like you touching me or being this close to me,"  Iya lied to a certain point.

"Liar!"  Pietro grinned.  "You just had the most wonderful sleep within my arm.  I know so."  

Iya pushed his chest and successfully climbed down his lap.  "You wish!"

The next 45 minute ride passed by in silence.  The driver, Gaspar, finally parked at the hotel.

The king's envoy ate breakfast and rested a bit at the hotel.  Afterwards, they continued the journey back to the royal pack for another 5 hours.

Iya was awakened once more by the sound of the tires grinding the gravel.  

"We are here.  Rene will assist you from here."  Pietro said to Iya.  The moment the SUV parked in front of the palace, he alighted without a word and went inside in haste.  He moves as if not blind.  He must have mastered his way into the palace to move with this confidence.

Iya opened the door before Rene could do it for her.  She stretched her legs and arms and took a deep breath.  She then took in the magnificence of the werewolf palace.  Never in her dreams has she seen something this big and grandiose.  "I have no words to describe this,"  she told Rene with a smile.  Rene smiled back.  "I'm glad you liked it, Lu.., Miss Iya,"  he replied.

"Come, I will show you to your room.  I'm sure you want to clean up and rest after that long drive, miss."

"Please, call me Iya.  Rene, may I ask, what will be my rank and duties here in the royal pack?"

"Why do you ask?"

Iya looked tensed.  "I just want to know if I am demoted to omega and expect household chores."

"The alpha king has no decree yet of your standing in this pack.  I would not worry too much.  And you may even be shocked at your rank.  For now, rest.  I will send someone to you later to bring you your food and to give you a palace tour."

"A palace tour!"  Iya got excited that she jumped Rene and gave him a bear hug.  "I'd love that so much!  I can't wait!  I'll take pictures and show my parents!"

Rene turned red and quite worried.  "Iya, I don't think you can just hug anyone especially us male werewolves."

"Why so?"

"Your mate may not appreciate it and in fact may misunderstand it."

"My mate? Silly! I am human, I don't get to have a mate!  I don't have a mate."  

"There are rare moments that a werewolf is mated to a human, just saying.  If you have not found yet your mate, then...actually all I want to say is refrain from being too close to the males around here.  It will save you the trouble."

Iya brushed it off and followed  Rene to the elevator.

"Uhm, Rene, I know I am a stranger here, but if you can grant me one favor, if you please,"  she pleaded.  "Can you give me a room as remotely far away from the alpha king as you can?  He has a certain dislike for me and I would not want to deal with it everyday.  I miss my home and some peace and quiet are really appreciated."  She batt her eyes towards the beta.
