Sold To My Alpha Mate

MAYA.

I felt the happiness bubbling inside me after I was done meeting with the prince. It was just the best news I had heard in a very long time. At least there was some hope that things would get better very soon. I couldn’t wait for those moments to come. It warmed me from the inside out. I knew that this encounter with him meant more opportunities to see what I had always wanted- to unravel the secrets that had caused the death of Venom’s brother.

This was just the beginning of the whole thing and I wasn’t going to back down until this was finished. I walked back to our quarters straight away and saw Tianna who was waiting eagerly for me. I couldn’t contain my excitement any longer. She had an expectant look on her eyes when she saw me walk into the room.

I walked to the edge of the bed and sat down before taking a deep breath. But just for good measure, I went to check the door to make sure that there was nobody there, eavesdropping on us. When I was done, I walked back into the room to meet Tianna who already had a wading look on her face. She desperately wanted to hear what had happened between the Prince and I.

“What happened? You don’t want to tell me anything?” She asked with a worried look on her face.

“Calm down, of course I’ll I’ll you what happened.” I sighed, taking a deep sigh again. Sitting back on the bed, the joy bubbling inside me seemed to spring up again.

“Tianna, to be honest you won’t believe what happened back there. It was just amazing.” I said, making her brows rise immediately. The expectancy she was feeling now seemed to get worse with what I had just said and I knew she couldn’t wait to hear the rest of the news.

She smiled at me and asked with so much enthusiasm in her voice. Her excitement was more than palpable, almost tangible.

“What happened, Maya? Tell me everything.” She urged.

“You’re behaving like I fell in love with him. Is that what you are thinking?” I asked, teasing her the more.

“I didn’t say that, but if that’s the case, no problem.” She replied, making me roll my eyes and laugh at her assumptions. I was pretty sure Emily would be very angry if she heard what had just happened, that I was seen with the Prince last night, talking to him late in the evening.

She would even proceed to have me grounded, or sacked if that was possible. Considering the way she had talked to me the day before, I knew she could do anything. I just hoped that she hadn’t seen anything and that she wouldn’t be told that anything happened.

“Are you going to keep me waiting? Why not tell me what I need to hear?” She asked again. “OK.” I rolled my eyes a second time before delving into the story. I told her everything that had happened exactly while meeting with the Prince and she couldn’t stop smiling the whole time. I still remembered every single word he had said to me, probably because of how overjoyed I was.

“I met with the Prince and we talked about the guard I saved. He asked if I was the one who killed the rogues also.”

“And…” She questioned, looking anxious now. “I said yes, but I told him that the guards helped me do it. I just made sure i said to him in a believable way. He was surely impressed with what I had done.” I told her, smiling through the whole thing.

“And he also asked about me bandaging the guard’s wounds which is what led to the most important news you’ll ever hear today. He asked me to meet him tomorrow. He wants to transfer me to the health department and help the doctors, undergo training and become one of the nurses.” I said excitedly.

She crossed her arms in front of her chest and nodded while biting her lips disapprovingly.

“With the way you’re smiling, it looks like you’re in love with him. Sincerely, I hope that’s not the case.” She said to me, not sparing a laughter even after I did. It looked like she had been threatened or something of that sort.

“I’m not interested in him and I will never be interested in him. You seem to think I’m one of those who will forget the mission they were sent to because of a cute boy.” I asked, chuckling and watching her shrug.Còntens bel0ngs to Nô(v)elDr/a/ma.Org

From the look on her face it was clear that that was what she thought of me, but I didn’t blame her though. Even though I had met with the Prince twice, our conversations always made it seem like there was a spark between us and I suspected he must be feeling something for me. I must have caught his attention and he might like me, but that wasn’t what I was here for, just like I had made it clear to her. She still looked a bit confused as she asked.

“Now the question is, how is this going to impact our mission, because I don’t fully get the point.” She said.

I nodded eagerly as a surge of adrenaline ran through me. The beautiful prospect that this offered was better than anything else and I couldn’t wait for the whole thing to get underway.

“Well, as a nurse or someone who works in the medical department, I’ll get more chances to work at the Packhouse than those who work elsewhere.” I told her and that was her aha moment. Her mouth slowly parted to reveal a small ‘o’.

I smiled and laid back on the bed, happy that she was finally seeing reasons why this was going to work. “I never thought that was what you had been thinking about all along. It’s a pretty good plan, however, do you know if you’re going to get the chance to go to the Packhouse every single day because that’s the most important thing. You won’t be going to see sick people in the Packhouse, but at the hospital.” She said.

I shrugged and answered, “True, but it comes down to the same thing. Making sure that I take full advantage whenever I’m going there. If the worse comes to the worst, I’ll have to use violence.”
