I regain my composure and stood tall. " I'm not afraid of you."

Alexander laughed darkly. " No? Then why are you trembling beneath me?"

I wasn't even aware that I was trembling. Stupid body.

I stared into his eyes. " I'm not."

" Lying doesn't suit you, Violet."

I shrugged. " And neither does being pinned against you."

He stared down at me and closed the small gap between us. I felt his hard chest pressed against me.

" Are you going to do something about it?" he questioned darkly.

I swallowed and looked up at him. " Maybe."

He smirked, not saying anything.

I smirked back. " You never told us who you chose."

His blue eyes lit up. " Isn't it oblivious?"

I thought for a second. " No."

He bent his head down and whispered into my ears. " You, Violet."

I smiled inwardly and did a happy dance. Step two of the mission is complete. Now I just have to survive being his royal slave. That shouldn't be too hard, right?

Alexander interrupted my thought. He lowered his head, trailing his nose down my neck. He inhaled deeply.

" Do you want to know why?" he questioned, his warm breath fanning against my skin.

I shivered. " Yes."

" Because you smell the sweetest."

My eyes went wide. Oh my god.

Alexander smirked as he removed himself off of me. " I'll see you later."

" Yea," I say breathlessly.

Alexander turned around and faced the other girls.

" You may go," he says dismissing them.

They get up and turn to leave.

" Mia," Alexander calls after her.

Mia turned around. " Yes, master?"

" Take Violet to her room and bathe her."

Bathe me?

" I'm perfectly capable of bathing myself," I say.

He growled. " Don't question me and call me Master for now on unless I say otherwise."

I bow my head. " Yes, master."

" Leave," he commands.

What's up with him? One minute he's playful, and then the next, he's demanding.

Mia waits for me as I walked over to her. She takes me back to the castle and leads me through several hallways and stairs.

I'm thankful I had her as a guide or I would get lost.

She didn't speak to me once until we reached, what I assume, was my room. She opened the door and I followed her in.

The room wasn't big but it wasn't small either. It had gray walls, minimum furniture, and a small tv.

It reminded me of my apartment. I live in a small studio apartment with hardly any furniture. There are no pictures on the walls and no food in the fridge. Only ramen noodles in the cupboard.

I know it sounds sad but that's all I need. I'm always out hunting.

" Wait here," Mia says, walking past the bed and into another room. She turns on the light. I stand in the room awkwardly waiting for her. I hear her shuffling around and then water running.

She comes back out. " Strip."

I wasn't shy and quickly take off my dress.

She stares at my naked body. " You truly are beautiful. I can see why he picked you."

My cheeks blushed. I'm not good at taking compliments.

" Thanks," I reply in a shy voice.

Mia smiles. "Let's get you into the water before it becomes cold."

She turns around and walks back into the bathroom. I follow her.

The room wasn't big or small either. In the center was an old fashion bath tub. Mia stood in front of it and motioned for me to get in.

As soon as my body enter the warm water, I instantly relaxed. I lean my back against the tub and close my eyes.

I felt Mia hand dip into the water before she lifted my leg and started washing it.

" I can wash myself. This isn't necessary," I say with my eyes still closed. An aroma filled my nose. Jasmine and lavender.

" I know but I want to. It's Master orders," she replies.

I was no hurry to protest, so I remained quiet as I let her wash me. After, she handed me a nightgown to put on.

We sat on my bed as she braided my long hair.

" It should have been me," Mia says.

I frowned. " I'm sorry, Mia. I know how much you wanted to be his royal slave."

" You're not sorry."

" I am."

" Then leave this place and never come back. Let me have what was mine," she pleaded.

My frowned deepen. " I can't do that."

" Why not? I know a way out. No one will know you're gone until it's too late."

My heart broke for her. In a twisted way, I knew how much she cared about Alexander. She deserved to be his royal slave more than me.

I sighed. " It's complicated."

She finished my braid and stands up to leave. Once she reached my door, she turns her head to the side.

" Watch your back," she says darkly then disappears out the door.

Crap.
