Chapter Luna Of The 51
HELGA LET OUT a deep sigh as she rested against the edge of the bathtub, closing her eyes and allowing the warm water to eave her tense muscles. The fact that she and Siegren would be spending the night at the Incarnadine pack house still felt unreal to her: She never imagined that Viola would suggest such ridiculous idea, and the whole situation from earlier was so bizarre that she couldn't quite make sense of it. In the end. Siegren took the offer because he had some matters to discuss with Aldous and the new Alpha of Incarnadine. "Your Majesty A familiar voice echoed from behind the bathroom door, cau the voice immediately and couldn't help but furrow her brows in response. It w
"Yes" she answered, her eyes focusing intently on the door,
"I'm here to help you with your bathing," Lorena said, her heart beating faster.
>open her eyes. She recognized The she knew all too well.
She had no clue that her former friend would be staying in the guest room. She didn't know how she could face her or even make eye contact after betraying her. Despite wanting to delegate the task of fending to the queen to one of the maids, Lorena couldn't do it because Alpha Ezra had specifically chosent her to be Helga's personal attendant while in their pack
house
"It's all right. I don't need assistance, Helga stated as she averted her gaze from the door and looked at the ceiling instead. She already had her hunch that they would assign Lorena as her personal attendant; after all, she was the closest friend she had among the staff and also known for being the most welcoming and detail-oriented. Despite not being a maid, Lorena's knack for making Incarnadine's guests feel at ease during their stay was unmatched.,
Are you certain? Alpha Ezra specifically instructed me to ensure that you have everything you require during your stay. am more than happy to assist with cleaning your back-"
"No thank you," Helga cut her off, "I appreciate the effort, but you know well that I prefer to bathe alone, Ms. Lorena."
"O-okay, please call me if you need anything." Lorena stuttered nervously as she hastily made her way out of the room, closing the door quietly behind her. As soon as the sound of the door clicking shut echoed down the hallway, she let out a deep groan and leaned her head against the cool wall. She was mortified with herself; she should've known better that Helga would recognize her voice, considering how hard she worked and strived to get closer to her when she first arrived at Incarnadine twelve years ago. Though she was just forced by her father to befriend Helga. Lorena had grown to genuinely like her over the years and valued their friendship greatly. All the things she had done for her were genuine acts of kindness, and she treasured their bond. However, being the Beta's daughter, she was torn between loyalty to her best friend Helga, and securing her position in the pack. It pained her to see her best friend suffer from mistreatment and to have to turn against her in order to secure her own position in the pack. She was aware that kind of betrayal hurt Helga deeply, and even if she were to apologize now, it wouldn't erase their past or ease the pain she had endured for the last three months that she was staying at Incarnadine.
She closed her eyes and took a deep breath, trying to clear her mind of everything before focusing on the present. Just as she was about to leave, she caught sight of Miranda making her way to the guest room, and merely catching a glimpse of her expression was enough to confirm that she was up to something
"What brings you here?" Lorena asked, feeling uneasy. She had always known Miranda's true nature, cunning and selfish, but her father's influence forced her to play nice and appease her. Now that Miranda was officially the leader of their pack, this became even more crucial, but if she were to harm Helga who was now the Queen of Verdentia, she had no choice but to knack some sense to their new Luna.
Miranda's face contorted with anger as she seethed. "I'm going to confront that woman and make her pay for what she did."
Luna, watch what you say. Just because the Alpha King wasn't by the Queen's side right now doesn't mean you can act like you're entitled to be disrespectful to her. She's our special guest, and have you forgotten his majesty's warning earlier at the banquet? That wasn't just applied to Alpha Ezra, but also to anyone who dared disrespect or lay a hand-on the Queen," Lorena warned her, her voice holding no politeness despite addressing Miranda by her title.
