Lexa was least bothered with what Belle and her maid discussed. Heading towards her room, she saw Anatalia and some servants setting the dinning room. It was like a feast was about to happen, and she wondered what might be the reason. It would be considered inappropriate to ask about it now, she thought and continued heading to her aimed place.
Getting to where her room was, she pushed opened the door and stepped in, closing the door with her right hand. Lexa sighed as she moved towards where her little bed was, and she collapsed on it, due to fatigue.
She had no idea when her eyes became weak, and she felt drowsy. Soon, her eyes were shut, and her breathing became steady. The young girl slept comfortably, turning around the bed and muttering incoherently.
*********
It was now dusk, and the big flaming ball was beginning to set, it's bright rays dying down, and it decorated the blue sky with a faint orange and yellow color, with some tiny clouds around it. It was like an art, made by an heavenly artist and created with lots of patience and endurance, leading to a rare and beautiful portrait. It was simply amazing and unique.
Lexa was still in her room, sleeping innocently and was unaware of anything.
Finally, her peaceful rest was interrupted by a gentle knock on the door. The knock resounded again, and Lexa groaned slightly. She was annoyed by the interruption and thought about who could be disturbing her peace.
With a lots of mental struggle, she weakily got up from the bed and sauntered to the door side.
Lexa opened the door with her right hands while rubbing her eyes together with her left hand.
" Lexa, you are such a sleepyhead!" Anatalia shook her head as Lexa opened the door, and she complained jokingly to the young girl.
" Whatever! Why are you here? You just disturbed my resting time," Lexa grumbled and rolled her eyes lazily. It was obvious she was still sleepy from the look on her face.
" Ouch! That's hurt. You can't even let me in huh."
Anatalia crossed her arms over her chest and acted like she was annoyed.
Lexa exhaled and stared dully at Anatalia, " My bad, come in."
The young girl moved aside for Anatalia to step into her room, then she shut her door behind.
" Have you eaten something?" Anatalia turned to Lexa, the moment she was inside the young girl's room.
Lexa knitted her brows, realising there was nothing in her tommy, and immediately her stomach grumbled, which made her felt embarrassed.
" Guess am right, and that's why I came."
Anatalia sniggered and shrugged her shoulders.
" Well, am starving," Lexa went ahead and sat on her bed while yawning loudly.
" Don't worry, I will get you something now. A minute please."
Anatalia made a single sign with her right index finger and left the room instantly.
Lexa smiled, " Okay."
Soon, Anatalia came back to the room with a small tray of food on her hands. Walking in gently and placing the food on a small stool beside the bed.
" Thank you Ana. You are a really good person, how can I ever thank you?"
Lexa was sincerely grateful for all Anatalia's action right from the day she was captured and brought to this pack, then to this very day.
Finding someone like Anatalia was truly rare, and it was a real blessing to Lexa. She wasn't used to people caring about her, and she had grown to care for herself all alone. But Anatalia caring for her made her feel something foreign, a feeling she has secretly craved more, and it made her felt blissful.
" Shhhh, just eat okay?"
Anatalia chuckled and silenced her. She was only trying to act like a big sister and a friend to Lexa, cause she saw herself as one.
" Okay," Lexa replied cutely and nodded. Then, she started eating her dinner.
Anatalia just stared at Lexa, as the latter ate her meal.
Five minutes later, the young girl was done eating and packed her dish.
" Am full." Lexa gently rested her back to the wall and rubbed her tommy with her hands.
" That's good."
Anatalia adjusted herself properly on Lexa's bed and laid on it, staring at the room ceiling.
" How is your new duty going?"
The female servant turned to the young girl and questioned her.
" I don't know, but am managing. Just that the Princess is a pain in the ass!" Lexa shook her head, sympathizing with herself inwardly.
" Don't worry, it will be fine," Anatalia assured her and smiled encouragely at her.
Then, Lexa suddenly snapped her fingers together as she recollected something.
" I saw you and the rest earlier, setting the dinning table as if you guys are preparing for a feast," She had been wanting to ask about that earlier, and now was the perfect time for it.
" Ohh that? Well, haven't you heard the rumours?" Anatalia inquired curiously from Lexa, because she thought almost all the servants in the Alpha's house were already aware of the circulating tittle tattle.
The young teen looked a little bit stunned and furrowed her eyebrows, " What rumours?" She didn't understand what Anatalia was saying and instantly appeared curious.
" About the Prince of the Crescent Moon Pack. He arrived here today, and he is staying at one of the guest rooms in the Alpha's house," The female servant explained, but Lexa just arched her brows.
" So? I'm not interested in all those. It none of my business," Lexa commented and shrugged her shoulders. She wondered why people love to gossip on unnecessary things, and it really baffled her.
She was a girl that cared less about all that and instead focusing on something relevant.
" Hun, it not mainly about that. The thing is the Alpha Prince of the Crescent Moon Pack found his mate here, and it happened to be Princess Belle," Anatalia moved closer to Lexa and whispered in a low tone, letting the young teen to know the main heart of the rumour.
" Ohh, is that so?" Lexa didn't fully get what Anatalia said, but before the latter could say anything, she beat the female servant to it by asking a weird question, " What is a mate?"
" You don't know what a mate is?" Anatalia questioned back, seemingly surprised and wondered what kind of a rogue Lexa was.
Lexa scratched the back of her head awkwardly and bit her bottom lip, " Yes, I don't know what it is."
" Humm...." The female servant hummed and paused, trying to gauge if what Lexa said was true. After realizing the young teen was indeed saying the truth, she proceeded to answer her question,
" A mate is like a soulmate or more of a soulmate, do you get it now? "
" Ohhhh, so that's it......" Lexa nodded her head and trailed off, recollecting the discussion she heard between Belle and her maid.
