ARAIA'S P.O.V
AFTER SLEEPING for a few hours, I still feel so tired, and although I did some stretching thinking that it'll help me, I can't even last a minute in the basics.
"Ouch…" Most of my muscles are aching. This is what I hate the most…
A few minutes later, a servant came to me and brought me some food.
That's when I realized that I haven't eaten anything yet so I am famished. In the end, I ate everything that they gave me, apart from being delicious, I just can't stop myself from eating.
I even eat slowly even though no one's looking at me because I feel like I've been eating too fast.
It took me some time before I finally finished eating the food. I savor every piece of it.
Then, I suddenly remembered something, that when someone's famished, they shouldn't eat their food fast.
I just read somewhere that if you were famished then you shouldn't eat a lot of food in one go. You should eat it little by little until your stomach is fully adjusted, I'm not really sure…
It's so random for me to think about it but it helped me. My stomach's not aching…
Anyway, although I've eaten already I haven't regained my strength back yet. It's a pity because I don't want Alejandro to see me like this- wait, did I just say his name without honorifics?!
Have I gone insane?
"He's my boss!" For freak's sake!
I need to have a breather to refresh my mind!
"Oh I forgot!" I can't stand for too long…
I'm totally hopeless right now…
"Let's just rest for now."
And that is what I did, I just lay down all day hoping that I will regain my strength again.
I just spent my day thinking everything about my past this day.
How I went crazy the first time I realized that I'm not on Earth anymore and how I left Earth with a heavy heart because of my family.
It's been too long since I'm gone, is there anyone looking for me?
I've been asking myself the same question for a long time but I'm not confident that they did, especially my mother.
I stood up and walked back and forth inside the room. At this point I am just exploring everything inside this room. It's crazy to think that despite everything that has happened to me, I'll still have a leisure time like this.
I almost die in boredom, thankfully there's a few books that I can read. Thanks to Geronimo's teaching…
I saw some love stories and since I used to read this kind of book before, I kind of missed reading one. So I chose it and lay on the bed.
I am quite intrigued by the cover as it involves alpha and omega. I haven't read anything that involves werewolves before so this would be my first time learning about their love story.
What could it be?
Will it be interesting?
I started to read the greetings…
**
"Omg…"
I gasped while reading the end of the book, I still couldn't believe what happened!
How dare they say that this is just a romance story when it's a tragic ending?!
The story is about the omega who fell in love with the alpha, at first their story is happy but then when everyone finds out, werewolves around them started to object and separate them both.
They even tried to kill the omega but the alpha found out and killed them all. They tried their best to escape that place but they were discovered while running away, they fought those who chased them and the omega died in the process.
What a sad story…
I let out a heavy sigh, I wanted to read something to ease my stress but it just got worse because of this book.
It's hard for me to read this kind of book as I always tend to think about it like it happened in real life…Even though I don't want to think about it, my heart just can't…
Ha…
After I finished reading that book, I moved on to reading another book but this time it's about the history of this place.
The book is quite old and it's strange because the material isn't paper but a cloth. I scanned it first before I read it thoroughly.
I got engrossed in reading because everything in this book is interesting.
"War really happened before…"
There's a record about how werewolves fought for their place like challenging the alpha but it's more intense because their way before is much more aggressive. They don't need anyone other than themselves when fighting, like- you can challenge them when they're alone and there's nothing wrong with it.
However, it shouldn't be done this time around as it will be seen as a sudden attack.
There's also records about how they lived before but what caught my attention is that one empire lost to Alpha Alejandro's ancestors.
They fell into ruin because of betrayal… How pitiful…
I continued reading the entire book and didn't notice that it's almost sunset. I wouldn't notice if only a female servant didn't knock on the door and bring my food.
"Thank you…"
I'm hesitant to thank her because she's one of those servants who just watched while Giselle is bullying me, but what would change, right?
I ate the food and left no crumbs. It's been a long time since I ate without rushing myself. Before, I always rushed myself because I'm afraid that Alpha Alejandro would be mad at me for coming late but now…well, I'm still afraid of him.
"Not too afraid though…"
After eating, I just stand near the window and stare outside. I can see everyone within the mansion from here, I can also see how beautiful this place is. The sun set adds up to my amazement in this place, it compliments the design of this place so much. As if this mansion is made solely to match the sunset.
My thoughts were cut when I heard a knock from outside.
Who could it be?
"Come in!" I just stay where I am but my head's facing the door.
My heart skipped a beat when I saw Alpha Alejandro walk in the room.
He is wearing the same type of clothes that he wears every day, but his hair is not the same as before, it is combed neater than and it suits him well.
He is also carrying his sword which adds up to his manly style…
Wait-
What just happened?
For a moment, I forgot to bow my head as a sign of respect, if only he didn't raise his eyebrow!
"Uh- I greet Alpha Alejandro -"
"It's okay. Raise your head."
I did what he told me but I couldn't see his eyes. I just placed my sight on my foot because I can't face him directly.
What's wrong with me?
"How are you?" There's concern in his voice.
Why? I mean, why is he concerned about me?
"I'm feeling well, thanks to you Alpha."
There's a moment of silence after I said it. I don't want to ask him why he's here because for some reason I feel like I know why he's here.
I waited for what he would say but he started on the couch beside the wall, he is facing me and I know that he is staring at me.
Just when is he going to say something?
And as if he heard me, he finally said, " I want to be honest to you."
"..." Fck.
I almost say, 'as you should'!
"Y-yes Alpha."
I almost screwed up! I bit my lip in embarrassment, just a while ago I called him without honorific, then I didn't greet him as soon as he walked in but stared at him instead, and now I almost told him those words, what's happening to me?!
"I like you, you know it right?"
I nodded.
Of course I do! I will never forget that word from him.
How could I forget when the one who confessed to me is the alpha of this place and especially my boss?
I couldn't even sleep comfortably that night because I kept thinking of what I should do and what would happen from that day onwards because of his confession…
"Right. Then I'd like you to know that It pains me whenever I see you hurt."
"..."
W-what…
"So please do your best to stay away from danger from now on."
"I will…"
"And you can call me Alejandro instead, I'll like it better."
He added. He is just saying those words casually like he's not awkward to talk about it.
How can he even make a straight face while saying those words?
Again, I just nodded my head. I am not sure what to answer!
I shut my mouth the whole time he's talking, thankfully he didn't say anything about it or get mad because of it.
After some time, it naturally became comfortable for me to talk with him because he asks me about the things that I like. I couldn't help but to tell him about it since this is the first time someone asks me about it.
Our conversation went smoothly until he bid his goodbye and left the room.
According to him, he has a lot of pending work so he needs to tend to them as soon as possible, but how come he's here when he has work to do?
But I finally realized everything when he left the room. From his confession and his effort to come here.
"Did he just-" Oh my goodness.
I suddenly felt excited for an unknown reason, just what is this feeling right now?
Lastly, did I really hear it right?
Did he just confess to me the second time and told me that it pains him whenever I am hurt?
Oh gosh…
I slap myself to see if I'm just dreaming, "Ouch!" It hurts!
Then I'm not dreaming!
Woah. I can't believe it…
I can't help but to cover my mouth with my palm. H-he really likes me?!
For real?!
I sat on the edge of the bed, I feel like my knee just lost its strength. I still can't believe it!
Alpha Alejandro, who is known as a terror Alpha and wouldn't even blink when killing people likes me?
B-but it's strange…Why am I feeling like this?
What is this feeling?
It's almost as if I'm happy that he likes me that much…
"Geez…"
I didn't realize that I am now lying on the bed, everything seems like an illusion…
Who would've thought that the day where I would have a comfortable talk with Alpha Alejandro would come as well as him confessing his feelings towards me…
Wait…
Does he mean it?
I know that he already said it before and he wouldn't get anything when he lied to me but I still can't believe it.
I can't believe him as well as I can't believe myself for having butterflies whenever I think about his confession. Do I have feelings for him?
And let out a sigh.
Although I don't want to admit it, after what happened earlier, My respective for him changed and I can now see how gentle and caring he is.
Also I know that he isn't like that to everybody but seeing him put efforts to show me that he likes me is what makes my heart flutter.
Oh Alpha…
I appreciate everything that you've done for me…
"Ugh! I want to post it on my social media account…"
Too bad that they don't have internet or gadgets here because for sure if I have one, I will post a lot especially about what I am feeling right now.
I would post it and ask my friends or someone about what I should do regarding this matter as I am not used to this.
I can't ask anyone around here about it because first, they don't like me and we're not that close. Especially topics regarding Alpha Alejandro would be dangerous for me and my safety. So I can't carelessly tell anyone about his confession to me.
I miss my friends! It would be nice to talk about this matter with them, especially Bea who has a boyfriend. If it's my friends I know that they will help me and give me advice on what I should do.
Ha…
This is when everything reminds me that I'm alone right now…
