Ying & Yang

Chapter 5

(Image is not mine, it's from Phantom of the opera)

With a loud groan I force my eyes open seeing a deep red canopy and the wood polls of a four poster bed. Where the fuck am I?

Managing to push myself into a sitting position against the head board I glace around the room in awe. The place is decked out with expensive everything. A very soft looking red carpet, red silk sheets, a floor to ceiling window leading out to a balcony and the usal furniture found in a room but fancy. Almost everything has intricate designs made out of gold.

Did I die?

Am I in heaven?

If so where's the food?

My train of thought derails as a set of double doors to the right side of the room opposite the window open revealing an aged women with greying hair but still manages to come off elegant.

"Ah, Lady is awake I see" she walks in with a trey in hand setting it down on the bedside table letting me see the steaming soup content's placed on it. "Does the lady wish to eat?"

Not being able to use my big girl words I just simply nod my head but quickly stop when pain shoots down my spine. Sitting on the edge of the bed she holds the bowl of soup with one hand and a spoon in the other. Dunking the spoon in the liquid she blows on it then brings it to my chapped lips.

Since when did I get spoon feed? Why am I only now getting this treatment?

I open my mouth slowly unsure why this old but still rather gorgeous women is spoon feeding me. Better who the hell is she, AND WHERE THE FUCK AM I?!

After a few more spoons of rather delicious soup I try speaking again "Where am I?" It sadly comes out scratchy and horrid but she still manages to understand me.

Jumping up from the bed she scolds herself "oh where are my manners" placing the soup back on the tray she bows slightly "You are at your mates house, my name is Alexandria but you may call me Alex".

I raise my eyebrows at her. I'm at my mates house.... Mateses?.... Mates's? I don't know but what I do know is that it wasn't a dream and I really did find ny mate... Mates. Shit I've got two.

"If you don't mind me asking but.... Why are you here?" She gives me a question look as in 'what do you mean why' as she hands me a glass of water which I gladly take and chug. "As in, in this room.... Spoon feeding me".

It seems to dawn on her as her eyes light up "oh pardon me my Lady".

My lady?

"But Alpha Beck and Alpha Kai has informed me that I am to be your personal maid".

I should of guessed she's a maid by her outfit "why do I need a maid exactly?" This is making no sense.

She seems to think about this but quickly gives me an answer "well because you are injured and well it can me hard dressing correctly by yourself miss".

"I've managed to dress myself since I was four, I'm fine with that. I'm sorry but I don't need a maid" just as I say this a searing pain shoots down my back making me hiss.

Alex eases me back down in the bed making lay flate before rummaging through her pocket retrieving a bottle of pills. Refilling the glass with water she passes me a single pill and the water.

"Here my lady, this will help with the pain. I'll go run you a nice warm bath" handing both the pill and glass over and watching me take it she disappears into a white and gold door I didn't notice before across the room that the bed is facing.
