Chapter 62 - New Position

"You have not mated yet? The flow of energy in your blood is telling that you had not even met your mate. Strange! Did both of you have a fight and ignore each other?" his tone was full of surety as he shook his head in disappointment. A warm glow passed from his hands and absorbed by her body. She felt rejuvenated with the flow of energy but his words still did not make any sense to her.

"........" she was right! He was a crazy man who was uttering nonsense. She wanted to beat him but at the same time thank him. What a dilemma!

"If the flow of energy increases it may create pressure in your heart. So it would be better if you mate with alpha as soon as possible!"

Hazel had tossed and turned in the bed all the night whenever she remember the words of the strange man who was a witch precisely.

Could there be any truth in his words! She shook her head and let the matter go! She was not the luna to begin with then how could she have the berserk energy of a luna! It was his illusion since he thought that she was the luna! That was it!

The thought finally made her feel better and she closed her eyes to sleep again. After all, tomorrow was an important day of her life.

When the sun rays played with her face in the morning, an excited smile formed on her face. She woke up with a start and looked around. It took her mind a few seconds to adjust and realise that she was still in the inn they had brought her.

Feeling the movements, the maid that was standing beside her bed, bowed her head and kneeled to get a sleeper for her.

No matter how many times it happened, she still felt awkward with it!

"My lady, shall I prepare the bath for you? Alpha had said that he is taking you out for breakfast." the maid was grinning ear to ear as she told that to hazel with red face.

"Hmm. Thank you!" was all she said as her stomach churned with anticipation. 

This time the girl had filled the bath tub with jasmine as hazel walked into the water. She could feel the strong smell covering her all other senses.

"The fragrance is stronger than yesterday!" The maiden bobbed her head up and down with fiery eyes.

"Yes! My lady. Last night you did not have a good time with the alpha. I will try all the scents until we know which smell would attract him towards you.'' The words sound so ambiguous that heat started to rise on Hazel's cheeks. 

She wanted to tell the maid that there was nothing going on between them and no matter which fragrance she used, they were not going to come closer, but she closed her mouth shut.

She did not know if she could trust her or not!

The bath was rather rejuvenating as she felt her body melting under her strong messages. She even moaned unconsciously again, gaining a chuckle from the maid.

When she looked at the dresses on the bed, they were more luxurious and expensive than yesterday and they all were new too with none of them repeating even if she had not chosen them in the past.

She did not even want to ask where the dresses had gone as she had noticed how luxurious they were living there.

Looking at her adorned in expensive clothes and rare jewels, even Hazel was having a hard time believing that it was really her in front of the mirror.

"Is there some problem, my lady?" the maid asked hesitantly and finally Hazel blinked and shook her head.

"No! I think i should leave now.'' She stood up and walked towards the door but before she could open it, it creaked open from the other side.

".........." Richard was standing in front of her in an official uniform. His clothes had a wolf that was roaring as he viciously showed his canine, it was a black and grey dress that was making him look majestic and above all of them. Even she felt intimidated by his presence even when he was looking at her kindly.

"Are you ready, hazel?" His voice was like music for the ones present there and they looked at him as if he had come out of breath taking painting.

She nodded and a warm smile formed on his lips, finally making her calm. He took her hands and kissed the back of her hands and then wrapped his arms around her.

He escorted her out like a newlywed couple that both surprised her and embarrassed her.

She did not dare to look above as she could feel the gazes of the knights on her yet not even once did she try to take her hands away or showed any reluctance. 

'This was the path I had chosen for myself to change my past and have a bright future.' she reminded herself as they walked towards the carriage.

"You would be announced as the wife of the emperor, the new empress of the Alienore kingdom while we visit the palace of your emperor and then the finance ministry as your first visit. Even if they recognize who you are, they would not dare to disrespect you with your new position."

"You can behave as if you are the owner of both places and do as you please. You even had the right to kick anyone out of there." he added meaningfully when he gave him the first glance after walking out of the room. She looked back at him yet she felt embarrassed when she noticed the heat in his gaze that was unnerving her. She adjusted herself in her seat when he continued again in a somber voice.

"But if you have any hesitation in being called my wife, then tell me now and I will introduce you to something else!"

"..............."
