Little bites, alpha

Seven

I am glad that I brought my bathing essentials while packing. I stand up few minutes after Henrietta leaves to have my bath. There is no one to ask for a new soap. I don't even own a shampoo. I want to put extra effort to at least impress his parents. If he doesn't want me to meet them that means he is embarrassed of me and I want to avoid him being even more embarrassed after tonight.

I scrub my pale and dry skin with my soft sponge that I have been using for years now. I am using my own bathing soap, not like I have any other choice anyways. I walk out of the bathroom and pick on of my finest dress for dinner. Mind you my finest dress is an old knee length flora gown. The wool is standing out on some part of the cloth already but it is still my finest cloth. I try to cut out pieces of the cloths that is still standing out but there is only little I can do. I am not about to destroy this cloth. I brush my hair down and use a hair clip to hold down a part of my hair to avoid it from getting to my face. I sit down waiting for whoever it is that Rietta is going to send to me.

My heart beats faster as I hear the knock on the door. I hear calls of attention from the strange voice that is still a outside my door. I take deep breaths and give the person the permission to come in. The door slides open as a young lady in a short gown and an apron comes into the door with a smile.

"Hi" I manage to let out.

"Good evening Luna, i have been instructed to bring to for dinner" She states her mission. I smile at her as I make the move to stand up.

"Thank you" I say on my feet. She nod acknowledging my words but doesn't say anything.

"Follow me" I follow her through the hallway down the stairs. On getting to the last step of the staircase she points her hand in the left direction.

"The alpha and his family are already seated" My eyes go wide but I quickly cover it up with a tight smile. I clean the imaginary dust of my dress before walking in. As soon as I entered the room the room went silent and all of their eyes are fixed on me. I gulp walking towards the table. I smile and greet everyone.

"Good evening" I greet.

"Glad to have you here Raina. Have your seat" Thank goodness she said something. Yh remaining people did not even acknowledge me including Lucian.

"Thank you. I'm glad I was invited" I say to her taking the empty seat that is available beside Henrietta making me stuck in between Henrietta and an old woman I suspect is their mother.

"I didn't want to here anyways and your dress is the first reason" A blonde beautiful lady says to him with a deadly glare fixed on her face.

"What's wrong with my cloth? I really put in some effort here!" I say offended that she insulted my finest dress. The girl alongside every other member of the family laughs.

"Who dresses up to dinner anyways?" I look down at me cloth then take my time to look at every other person. None of them is dressed up. I even saw someone in his pjs. Wow. There goes my embarrassment. I look straight into the eyes of the blonde and take a deep breath before proceeding.

"I wanted to make efforts to impress you to avoid this! But because I'm just a slave it doesn't mean anything right? I'll never be accepted here. I didn't want any of this in the first place! Your son or whoever he is to you did this to me anyways and I'm the unwelcomed one" I say the last part facing nobody in particular. I let out a short sarcastic laugh and push my chair backwards.

"I don't think I'm hungry anymore" I look into Lucian's green eyes.

"You're weak!" I stand up and leave the dinning table. I remember the way to the door I've been put in so it makes everything easier for me. My heart is racing too fast for my comfort. I overstepped! Why did I say all of that? I just made everything worse. I reach out for my zip when I hear Rietta's voice behind me.

"Let me help you" She offers from outside the room. I smile at her.

"You can't do that from outside the room, can you?" She laughs as she pushed the door further giving her enough space to come into the room. She closes the door and moves to help me undress.

"I love your dress Rain. You look beautiful in it" I laugh.

"Really?" I ask. She nods in affirmation.

"Yes. You are beautiful"

"Thank you. I felt so stupid when the blonde pointed it out that I was dressed up" I confess. If I want to survive here why not have a friend.

" I admire your strength Rain. Although my brother is being stupid you are still trying and for that I want to say thank you" I smile at her.

"I don't have a choice, do I?"

"Yes you do"

"I doubt that. Your brother bought me and I belong to him at a certain level so no Henrietta I don't have a choice" I reply.

"I guess but he doesn't see it that way. He only used that as an excuse to get you to come with him"

"I see because he doesn't want anyone knowing who I am right? I'm an embarrassment so he just couldn't come like normal people do and talk to my alpha who is his friend!" I snaps. I take deep breaths and turn to Rietta again.

"I'm sorry. I'm not supposed to snap"

"It's fine. We can train right in the morning so you can let out some energy" she offers.

"I'd like that"

"Good. I am happy you are here and I'm sure the rest of the family is too"

"Who was she?" I ask.

"Who? Lucy?"

"The blonde" I answer.

"That'a Lucy she is the Beta female" I hear faint steps from outside the door.

"Who is it?" I ask.

"May I come in" Lucian asks.

"No. I'm about to sleep" I reply him curtly. I turn to Rietta.

"Goodnight" I kiss her cheeks. She does the same and stands up. I hear her murmur something on her way out. Lucian pushes the door and comes in.

"We need to talk" He states, his tone serious. I raise my brows at him.

"I need to rest. It's not everyday an opportunity to rest comes up" I state.

"I wasn't asking so sit up and let's talk" He commands. A part of me what's to argue but like I said I might be his mate but I am just another slave he own and there are limits to what I can do. I roll my eyes and sit up.

"Five minutes" I tell him and he nods. What can be so serious that he wants to talk to me about?
