Chapter 55 - Her Eyes Twinkled Again.

"What if you find a mate in the future or I will be done with my revenge?" she asked as she wanted to be clear of the mess she was entering in. what if his mate comes forward in a week or a month. Where would she stand in his life then? And where would she go if that happened? 

She did not desire love but at the same time she would not bear more disrespect for herself.

He leaned back on his seat as he looked out of the window. Her innocent face was distracting him in dealing with her. He did not know why he felt that his cold eyes were better as he was able to look into them. But whenever her eyes showed that frail look and her insecurities, he felt that his heart was getting clutched hard and he was not able to breathe freely.

"I am not a disloyal man. Either you accept marrying me as a contract or a knot filled with promises. If I marry you, I will not leave you if I find my mate. You will be my one and only wife after all I am the one who is proposing marriage to you.`` His words were filled with sincerity and though his face did not have any strong emotions, his eyes were sincere.

Her lips parted but not a single word came out. She was not expecting this kind of reply at all. She was expecting a notice of a month or a year at most before ending this fake marriage.

To say that she was not touched would be a lie. She did not have anywhere to go anyway. With the way they had easily given her poison, it was clear that they did not fear anyone. 

And his eyes, his eyes were filled with sincerity that she did not know why, even after pressing herself that she would not trust anyone anymore. Her resolve seemed to be breaking whenever she looked at him.

'Cloud i trust him this once?" her eyes flashed a lot of scenes when she had trusted Jonathan too and so as Amelia and her eyes closed. Her face filled with the pain of betrayal when she remembered how much she loved both of them.

"I.."

"If you do not want to marry me then it is ok. You do not need to feel burdened." he stood up abruptly, making her stunned. 

He did not spare her another glance or a word as he walked straight out of her room while she continued to sit there dumbfounded. Closing her eyes, she took a deep breath as she looked out of the window. 

Why did she feel like she was still trapped in her old feelings. They had not only killed her once, but also killed her trust and kindness. Her face turned grim as she looked at the birds that were flying back together to their homes and her heart filled with resolve. 

She would not let her past decide her future. Even if they had the power to destroy her past, they did not have any right on her future.

She stood up abruptly with that thought. Her eyes filled with determination and she clenched her fists as she walked towards the door.

The maid was frightened when she held the knob of the door but before she could even move it, the door opened abruptly. And the lady stood in front of her with the intent to murder someone. For a second she felt that her eyes looked the same as their alpha.

She was looking so terrifying that the maid was stumped for words.

"Where.. Where are you going my lady? Alpha had asked us to let you rest and nurse back to health before you leave the palace." said the maid as she recovered from her initial shock. 

Hazel smiled, as she realized how he cared for her all this time, yet she never noticed it.

"I am not going out of the palace. I am going to meet your alpha. Can you guide me where he is?"  she asked as her eyes filled with determination that she had never felt before.

"Umm, I am not sure. Alpha did not like to be disturbed, my lady. Why don't you wait for dinner? Both of you are going to share dinner anyway!" asked the maid in a soft voice and hazel looked out of the window. It was already dusk.

"Hmm, then I want you to help me get dressed for dinner?"  The maid's eyes sparkled and she nodded again and again to show her enthusiasm.

"Of course, I have been waiting for this day since forever so that I will get the chance to dress up as my luna." She held Hazel's hand and dragged her back into the room.

"Let's start with giving you a warm bath filled with rose petals. Then I will prepare my best perfume for you and a lot of frills on your dress with the diamond we have brought for the day..'' Hazel felt amused by her over enthusiasm. She was behaving like a kid who had got her first doll and now she wanted to dress her up. 

Soon the bed filled with all the dresses of the closet and the vanity box filled the dressing table.

She didn't even know how she had arranged so many flowers in such a short amount of time when she looked at the water that was filled with fragrance.

The maid massaged her whole body with so much vigor that hazel moaned unconsciously. Her face filled with embarrassment but the maid was delighted looking at her reaction.

"I am glad that you are enjoying the bath, my lady." Hazel only nodded as she did not know what to say to her when she felt the hesitation of the maid.

"What is it?" Hazel raised a brow and the maid bowed down in fear, yet her curiosity took better of her.

"Umm, my lady. I wanted to know.. If you are our luna?"
