“I can’t wait to go on a date with the king! It’s been so long since we did, and I haven’t been out much since I came to the pack. I think the only time I’ve stepped out was to meet the pack’s diviner. I can’t wait to see how much things have changed since the last time,” I said with a grin, speaking to Serena and Isabella, who were in the room with me.
Serena stood beside me, and Isabella stood behind me, carefully styling my hair as they listened to me talk.
Isabella’s expression was filled with confusion at my words, yet a smile lingered on her lips, while Serena stared at me with teary eyes, like she wanted to cry, smiling warmly as she gazed at the mark on my neck.
I knew why they were looking at me like that.
Because they were both surprised, yet happy, that I had been officially marked as the king’s mate and that our relationship had suddenly improved.
It was obvious they wanted to ask questions about what had happened, but they were too afraid. To be honest, I’d rather they just asked than continue staring like that in silence, so I paused and tapped Isabella to stop styling my hair.
When she did, I turned toward them and narrowed my eyes, making them stiffen under my gaze.
“Alright, alright. You two have to stop staring. I can literally feel your questions burning into me. What do you want to ask?” I asked, raising a brow at both Serena and Isabella.
Almost immediately, their faces flushed a deep shade of pink, and they glanced away, lowering their heads to stare at the floor as though it were the most fascinating thing in the room. But when they felt my gaze sharpen, Serena was the first to break and speak.
She looked at me with an awkward smile and lied,
“M–my lady, you’re overthinking things. W–we don’t want to ask you any questions. We servants don’t have the right to inquire about our mistress’s life,” she stammered.
I scoffed and raised a hand to lightly smack her on the head as I lectured her.
“Stop being silly, Serena. You two are more than just servants to me. You can ask whatever you want. It’s really okay”
Serena and Isabella glanced at each other hesitantly, but Isabella, clearly curious, spoke first.
“Then forgive me, my lady, but I wanted to ask if the king really marked you and if you are now officially his
mate?”
Her eyes flickered to the mark on my neck with a bright smile, and I chuckled before turning to Serena with a
raised brow.
“Is that what you want to know too? Is that your question?” I asked.

She swallowed hard for a moment before nodding almost eagerly, then murmured under her breath,
“Also… I–I wanted to ask if the miss really loves the king. You said you loved him this morning. Is that true?” I lifted a brow at her question and smiled, nodding my head.
“To answer your questions: I am officially the king’s mate, and he marked me last night,” I said, pointing to my neck with a smile. “And I do love him. I love the king so much, and I will always love him.”
As soon as I said that, Serena and Isabella gasped as if they had just heard the juiciest secret. The next second, they both smiled and moved closer to me.
“Really? My goddess, that’s amazing! My lady, I am so happy for you! I knew it! I’ve never seen the king even enter the kitchen before, but he walked there by himself to cook for you this morning. All the other maids were surprised, and the chef almost fainted himself!”
Isabella said, her grin wild with excitement.
Serena practically burst into tears as she stared at my neck.
“My lady… finally, finally you have been marked by your mate. You have someone who could love and care for you. I am so happy for you, my lady,” she said, and I couldn’t help but chuckle at their excitement, shaking my head at them.
They were happy for me. Really happy.
These were the kind of people who were truly by my side, they were my people.
The ones I could trust.
In my past life, I had people like that too, Serena, my father, his beta and gamma, the whole packhouse who had sacrificed themselves for me. But just because of two people with ill intentions, my life had spiraled downhill.
In the end, it was better to surround yourself with those who love you, who care for you, and who harbor no ill intent toward you.
“Thank you, you two. I appreciate it, you are both lovely,” I said, smiling at them before turning to the mirror and staring at my reflection.
At the back of my mind, I heard Sheila’s voice, soft and purring, echoing.
“Finally, after so many twists and turns, we finally meet them again. I just hope this time nothing happens. I hope we’ll be together for a long time,” she said.
My smile widened as I responded,
“I know we’ll be together for a long time. Nothing will happen, don’t worry, Sheila.”
Soon, Isabella was done with my hair, and after checking myself one last time in the mirror, I walked out of the room to find Darius standing at the door, waiting for me.

As soon as I saw him, I couldn’t help but smile, my eyes twinkling
He was dressed in simple white clothes–a plain shirt and trousers. He looked handsome and mesmerizing
His lips curved into a slow grin as he fixed his gaze on me, then stepped forward and reached out his hand.
“You look really beautiful, little mate,” he said.
I laughed softly, placing my hand in his.
“You look really handsome, my king,” I teased.
He chuckled, leaning toward my hand to place a soft kiss on it before lifting his head bef
ore speaking.
“Now, should we go on a date?”
