Chapter 30
At last, the car slowed down and pulled along the stone driveway that circled around to the door. I watche d men dressed in elegant and sophisticated attire exit the massive front door coming straight for us. The other black vehicles slowly pulled up behind us, but ours stuck out prominently over all the others.
The closer the palace workers got to our vehicle, the more anxious I became.
This was going to be my new home for however long it took Ethan to take care of what he had to attend to. And I had a fe eling that there was no escaping this place once I stepped inside. “I only have one rule for you, Rosalie.” Ethan said, leaning closer to me, the feeling of h is breath against my neck sending chills across my skin. “Stay with Vicky or Talon, always. Trust no one else. Do you understand?“. I nodded my head, and as I did, the car door opened. Ethan stepped o ut first, and then turned toward me, offering me his hand to allow me to exit. However, as soon as I was out, he ste pped away from me, and was instead replaced with Talon and Vicky on either side of me. There was no tuming back now. I was pleasantly surprised by the size of the inside of the capitol building. The decor and architecture was even grander than I originally had expected. I had never seen the Alpha King before, and the anticipation of being beneath his watchful gaze terrified me. “Welcome, Alpha Ethan,” A petite, plump woman said with a smile as she walked tow ard our group. “The King, unfortunately, got caught up in meetings. Please allow me to show you to you r rooms.” Ethan nodded as she turned and made her way up a long staircase. Alpha Romero and his d aughter were shown to their rooms first, Madalynn once again showed evident unhappiness that she wasn‘t getting the room she wanted, but she didn’t make a big deal of it. Passing the large
wooden doors one after another, the people in our group disappeared until it was only Ethan and I left. We finally came to a large white wooden door. Our hostess turned to us with a smile. “And this will be for you and your lady, Alpha,” she chirped, bowing her head slightly befor e walking past us, back down the way we had come. I wasn‘t sure if I had heard her correctly, but befor e I could ask anything, Ethan opened the door and disappeared within, leaving me to follow him. “We‘re sharing a room?” I asked with a little uneasiness. I wasn‘t sure what I was hoping his answer would be. He spun around to face me as she shrugged off his jacket and rolled his sleeves up to his elbows. The outline of his muscles flexing beneath his shirt drew me in. “Yes, we are. Anything wrong with that?” His quirked brow was a clear sign of the irritation he felt. Deciding not to further trigger him, I sho ok my head “no” and sighed.
After a moment of silence, I simply replied, “Thank you.” He turned to face me once more. “What are you thanking me f or?” he asked in confusion. “For bringing me, and allowing me to be in your room.” “No need,” he said a s he walked toward the door. “You know why you‘re here.” He left me standing in the room stunned and unsure of what to do next. I hated it when he acted this way. It was uncalled for, and it hurt me emotionally to constantly be reminded that he didn‘t care for me at all beyond me being a job for him. After a while, I found myself changing into something a little more comfortable and form fitting. What I hadn‘t e xpected, though, was to hear Ethan‘s name from the other side of the door, and for the door to burst open once more to show another woman. A tall, curvy, dark– haired woman with green eyes stood in the doorway. Her long hair hung in waves around her face and cascaded over her shoulders.

She didn‘t seem like the sweet, innocent type, and her brows narrowed as she stepped into the room, her eyes looking around b
efore she closed the door. “Who the hell are you?” she asked with clear irritation, and yet a hint of amusement. I was too stunned to speak. “I‘m sorry… What?” Rolling her eyes, she crosse d her arms over her chest. “I asked who the hell you were… Why are you in this room? Are you one of Ethan‘s playthings? Because honestly, I don‘t have time to deal with you if you are.” Original from NôvelDrama.Org.
Another woman was angry about me being with Ethan…
How many women did he have like this? “I am not a plaything.” After dealing with Madalynn for a couple days, I was more comfortable handling invaders to my room. I was quite sure no one would hu get a sense of the situation. “May I ask who you are and how I may help you?” A glint of amusement app is it?“. As she stepped toward me, the door opened again, and Ethan and Talon entered quickly. “Georgia,” Ethan said with a tight lip. She turned, smiling at at times when it came to me. But this was his sister– he really
The wife of Royalty wasn‘t going to tell her anything? “This is Rosalie,” Talon finally said with a smile. “She is a special guest of your brother‘s, and needs time to get situated in the capital. and let Rosalie get her rest. We do have dinner tonight, and everyone should use this time to get prepar effective, because Ethan‘s sister didn‘t look like she gave a d*mn what either man had to say. “Ethan… Do you really hate the idea of love so much that you would take a breeder ins going to let her talk to him like that. … Was he? “Get out, Georgia,” Ethan demanded. It seemed as if he was trying to prevent himself from exp is down the hall, and was asking about you. She is going to be hurt if you don‘t go see her first.” Georgia rolled her eyes and smiled. “Nice job deflecting. This isn‘t over, but for now, I‘ll let it go,” she called to Ethan over her shoulder before stalking before storming from the room and closing the door behind himself once more. I was left with my own thoughts
