Chapter 9 Some Grapes

Rea woke up when she heard a loud knocking sound behind her small bedroom door. Her eyes immediately opened, and she sat up unconsciously with her heart pounding. Turning to the side, Kilian's figure was no longer there, as if the man had never been there or come before.

Maybe Rea was just dreaming?

However, her doubts disappeared when she saw the sleeping robe Kilian wore last night draped over the shouldest of her bed. The maroon robe looks so luxurious among the furniture in this room.

Rea involuntarily shuddered. So that's right, she slept all night in his arms.

"Rea! What are you doing? Get out and work quickly!"

Rea jumped, almost forgetting the presence of an annoying creature outside the door. As prepared as she could be, she rushed to open the door while the butler's angry face greeted her.

Rea grimaced watching it. The girl lowered her head deeply as if she had just done the most sinful thing and was showing her regret. "Sorry, I'm late-"

The butler interrupted quickly, "Enough! Prepare well and come with me to the warrior arena."

Rea nodded, choosing to go back in and prepare properly as the butler said.

Then, her pair of feet now rests in the area where warriors often do training. Rea had never been to this place before, considering that this was a special area that was only intended for certain people.

Meanwhile, Rea's focus was diverted to the large stands, where the figures of Kilian and Lily—women she had seen before—sat side by side as if they were the king and queen. Rea subconsciously frowned.

Once again, the crowd of warriors who started running into the training field distracted Rea's attention.

"Go to Alpha's side, you will be needed there," said the butler who was already standing next to her.

"Why do I have to be there? The other Omegas are on the outskirts here."

Rea was suddenly afraid when she saw the dark expression on the butler's face. "You are Alpha's personal servant, so you obviously have to always be by his side to know what he needs." The middle-aged woman looked annoyed as she added, "you are not grateful enough, when other omegas have to work harder and share a bed in the same room, you actually wake up late and get your own room."

Rea swallowed her saliva roughly. Suddenly feeling guilty for some reason, even though her life was already quite difficult. Without thinking, she nodded and chose to obey rather than prolong the debate.

When Rea started walking along the edge of the field towards Kilian's position, the girl subconsciously glanced at the man. Who would have thought, Kilian actually saw her, the man smiled while propping his chin as if mocking her existence.

Rea's face turned bright red. A mixture of shame and annoyance mixed in such a way.

The man must have been happy to see her just being cursed at.

Rea was standing a short distance around Kilian. Only certain people sat in the stands close to the alpha, including perhaps Lily. After all, Rea had often heard that this beautiful woman was Kilian's favorite woman. Every important event, she was always placed next to Kilian.

Don't know how, but Rea's heart suddenly felt squeezed even though she didn't expect anything. Most likely this is just a certain effect because she is Kilian's real mate.

"Hey, you!" Rea turned her head and found Lily and Kilian looking at her. The woman looked proud as she put her arm around Kilian's shoulder while her beautiful red lips said gracefully, "can you get me some grapes."

Rea was silent. What? Fetching grapes? Wasn't she Kilian's personal servant? Then, why did the woman order her around as if she was her master.

Rea turned towards Kilian who was also looking at her. The man still wore an annoying smile while nodding that Rea had to comply with Lily's request.

Rea tightened her jaw. Honestly, Rea felt angry. But, after thinking about it, is she really that important? No, Rea is not important at all. Especially maybe for Kilian. In fact, the man just wanted to play with her.

Rea restrained herself as much as possible and put on a normal expression. She wouldn't let these people interfere with her feelings just because they acted annoyingly.

"Okay, is there anything else you need?" Rea said casually.

Kilian chuckled.

Meanwhile, Rea tried her best not to turn around and look at the man. Lily herself immediately raised her chin when she realized that Rea didn't seem bothered.

The woman smiled. Her embrace on Kilian's shoulder became tighter and stronger. "That's all, if want anything else I'll tell you later." She looked at Kilian. "Isn't that right, Alpha?"

This time Rea looked at them and found Kilian once again nodding even though the man's eyes were clearly directed at Rea. His smile didn't even leave the corners of his lips.

Rea nodded then turned away. Her body moved quickly towards the special food pack tent without trying to turn around at all.

***

The routine of the people in the food supply tent suddenly stopped when they saw Rea enter with an unusual dark aura. The girl had just vented her anger by slamming the tent fabric hard enough to distract other people's attention.

Realizing her mistake, Rea took a deep breath and bowed slowly as if apologizing.

"Is there anything you need?" a chef asked.

Rea nodded. "Where can I get grapes? Ah, this is Lady Lily's request, I don't know whether she wants grapes or drinks."

Rea remembered that when she left the stands, she could clearly see that Lily had fruit and of course wine in front of her. So, what exactly does a woman need?

Rea took a breath. Maybe the woman didn't really want it. It was likely that she just wanted to make Rea move with her orders, as if to emphasize that Kilian's personal servant was also her servant.

Base! The two of them are indeed a perfect match. It's the same damn thing!

"Ah, I think it's just ordinary grapes. Lady Lily really likes them, Alpha Kilian even specially made a vineyard for her," said another.

It felt like Rea's ears were ringing. Maybe it was the wolf in her who was roaring angrily, but Rea responded calmly.

After all, she had determined to never bring her feelings to this place, especially not for Kilian.

What she had to do was ensure that in the future Kilian would reject her, that way her life would return to normal without having to think about anything else.

"Go into the back tent, there is fruit there."

Rea nodded, then left after saying a simple thank you.

Honestly, Rea was impressed when she opened the tent door and found that almost all the fruit inside was grapes. It seemed that Lily's figure was so important that Kilian didn't hesitate to give a lot, even just for a piece of fruit.

There are various types of grapes in this place. Glancing here and there not finding anyone in the tent, Rea felt challenged to try some. After all, no one would know if she took a few of them.

Although they all looked tempting to taste, Rea was more attracted to grapes that looked bigger with an unusual dark purple glow. It was as if there was a binding spell that pushed Rea until she arrived in front of the grapes box.

The girl felt hypnotized, and was about to put the fruit in her mouth when suddenly her consciousness dived to feel someone's body close behind her. Grabbing her small waist, while his strong and big arms came forward to grab the grapes in her hands.

Rea didn't have to turn around to know who dared to hug her like this so freely.

That dirty bastard, Kilian!

Rea tried to take a step forward to escape the confinement of Kilian's large body. However, it felt very difficult considering that the girl was trapped between a fairly large grapes box and Kilian's dashing body behind her.

"Don't eat this kind of grape."

Rea suddenly got goosebumps when she heard and felt Kilian's warm breath on the back of her neck.

"This is a special grape that is cultivated to make a person drunk and passionate," he added. This time Rea pinched the man's arm hard as Kilian kissed her neck.

Rea turned angry as she grabbed another grape to smash into Kilian's face. "Damn, bastard!"

However, Kilian smiled while avoiding it. Holding Rea's arm and locking the girl's body with his own large body.

Kilian chuckled. "You think you can touch me with your little insect-like strength? Stupid!"

Rea gritted her teeth. "Get away, bastard!"

"Why are you angry? Is it because of Lily?" Kilian didn't move an inch even if Rea tried to push him. "By the way, you slept really well last night, you even snored a little."

Rea's face turned red. This time furious.

"Alpha, stop play with me!"

Kilian shook his head. "No, I think I was born to play with you!" he said casually, sounding deliberate.

What is this crazy man!
