The Luna's Revenge

Chapter 9

"Gab, where have you been hiding out? What happened to make you look like you were hit by a hurricane? What exactly took place with you?" As I entered our room, Eury immediately started firing off questions at me.

I just responded to her by saying, "Prince Javier commanded me to find his pet in the forest."

"What?" She was really taken aback by what I said.

She asked me, "How many hours have you been missing, and you're in the woods hunting for Prince Javier's pet?" She confirmed to me that I was in the woods looking for the animal.

I told her, "I can do nothing but fulfill Prince Javier's commands to me, Eury," as there was nothing else I could possibly do.

She let out a long sigh and closed her eyes as she said, "I wish I could say that you need to relax even for a few minutes, but all maids need inside the palace, Gab."

She told me, "So hurry up and prepare yourself because Prince Javier's Luna is coming!" and I immediately went into action.

She continued before she left me by saying, "I'll be going first to go to the dining room, we need to set their dinner before she arrives," adding that she would be going first.

When Eury came out of our room, I drew a long breath in preparation. Before going into the dining area, I showered myself and changed into a fresh set of clothes. Even though I was completely spent, I had no choice but to continue working.

As I entered the palace, I saw that all of the maids were hard at work. There were cooks, people who arranged the dinner table, and those who placed food on the table.

Soon enough, we had accomplished everything that was within our power, but Veronica admonished us not to leave.

The first to arrive were Alpha Bernard and Luna Gladys. Both of them sat down in their seats and awaited the arrival of Prince Javier, who, as far as I am aware, was on his way to pick up Amanda, the Luna that he had selected.

At seven-thirty in the evening, Prince Javier arrived beaming, accompanied by a very gorgeous woman whose name was Amanda!

Amanda showed her reverence for Prince Javier's family by bending her head in their direction.

Amanda was greeted by Alpha Bernard and Luna Gladys when she arrived.

Alpha Bernard extended a warm greeting, saying, "Welcome to the Bloodlust Pack, Princess Amanda."

Luna Gladys greeted her also by saying, "It's finally great to see you," as she planted a kiss on Amanda's cheek.

Amanda gave them a friendly smile and said, "Thank you, Alpha Bernard and Luna Gladys, for accepting me."

"Kindly eliminate the need for the formality, Amanda, since you are going to be the next Luna in our pack and you can now refer to us as your parents, "Luna Gladys remarked.

There is no way to conceal the fact that Amanda is Alpha's daughter and that she hails from a prominent family. The blue gown she wore, the way her hair was styled and the soft expression on her face, her porcelain complexion, the almost perfect form of her face, her nose, and her lips — in short, everything about her physical appearance was nearly flawless.

Because of what I observed, I had a feeling of insecurity. If I were to dress like her, I am confident that I would be able to withstand her beauty; nevertheless, I am merely a maid here in the palace and I am expected to serve them.

I turned my attention to Prince Javier. While he was looking at Amanda, I caught a glimpse of that grin. I have never seen before Prince Javier smile. This is the first time I've seen him do so. When we are in the same place together, all he does is give me an angry look.
