Mary's POV
These past 1 month had been scary,to be honest.
I didn't know if I could trust Athan or not. I mean he had tried to make me comfortable and all considering the night I had stepped into his wing. It had been nice,I must say.
Athan had prepared something for us to eat and I couldn't help but marvel at his cooking skills.
We didn't talk much, even till now, just a few questions about the meal and if I wanted more. He quickly briefed me on the clan and where we were in letting me know that this was his wing, his own home where he mostly spent his alone time if he wasn't attending to his people. The wing had everything, ranging from a huge library to 4 large rooms,the kitchen,the living room even to his other office. I kinda liked the feeling it gave me.
I was expecting him to make me sleep in his room but he asked me where I would like to sleep and I got confused so I decided to toss a coin to choose my faith, luckily it landed on the other room in front of his where I've been staying in till this morning where I'm just too lazy to get out of bed.
I rolled out and hit the floor, not bothering if I broke any bone and went to the bathroom. I brushed my teeth, too scared of looking at my reflection in the mirror,as usual.
I washed my hair as I showered and shaved. When I was satisfied, I wrapped a towel around my body, taking a deep breath before looking at my reflection in the large mirror above the sink I had used earlier.
I noticed how my eyes glowed, the color doesn't look as dull as they usually were. I raised my hands to my hair and noticed how they're almost at my waist. I searched for a scissors and cut the ends of my hair until they stopped at my mid-back.I found tweezers and worked on my eyebrows and stepped back to appreciate the my look before my eyes went to the extended part of the tattoo on my neck and the one starting from my sternum to my belly button that Alderman had given me before my eyes finally stopped at my birth mark on my right shoulder.
I broke down in the bathroom, the tears flowing freely as my heart felt empty, no happiness of having my family or sense of deja Vu.
It was just empty.
I covered my mouth to avoid being heard even though it was completely useless.
I had no idea if they were alive or dead and it hurt so much. Alderman tried her best to fill in but she just couldn't.
I heard the door of my room open, from the scent it wasn't Athan and I was glad it wasn't, it was the nice lady that had been dropping clothes for me daily. Athan would look for ways to talk to me and that's the last thing I want. I needed to be alone.
"Queen, are you okay? The feminine voice asks.
I took a deep breath and calmed my thoughts
"Yes" I said as best as I could although my voice sounded pained.
"Oh okay, I left some clothes for you on your bed, Breakfast is almost ready" she said. I knew she could tell I wasn't okay and I'm glad she didn't push it.
When I heard the door close, I left the bathroom and sat in front of the floor to ceiling glass wall onlooking the territory to meditate and clear my thoughts.
I wore the black jeans and white top. Feeling a little too open as I felt my tattoos were on display.I went to Athan's room to get a hoodie (if he had one). I had always avoided going in because of my damn trust issues.
Luckily he had alot of them so I quickly took the black one and left to my room to wear the shoes.Once I closed my door I stood, listening and checking for any sound or scent. When I found none,I went to the kitchen where I found a plate of spaghetti and meatballs. I smiled at the thought that Athan might have asked someone to make them for me as I told him it was my favourite meal. I finished eating and washed the dishes and decided to go for a walk.
