Aurora The Alpha's healer

Episode 12

She chose a nice rose scented powder that she poured in the water, and she helped me to wash myself. After about a half an hour, she dried my body with a towel. She put a robe on me, and led me into another room where there was a beautiful white dress. The top of that was beautifully embroidered. First she put a corset on, and she started to thread it at my back. It was a little bit tight, but maybe I felt like that because I never wore one.

When she was ready, she finished my hair. She brushed it, and just tied it back in a braid, but she left the rest of it hanging freely. Then she put the dress on me. It was really beautiful. She walked around me checking every detail, then she nodded with a smile.

"You are ready."

She gently grabbed my hand, then folded her arm around mine.

"Come with me."

We walked a lot when finally she stopped at a huge door. She smiled at me having a last look at her masterpiece.

"You can enter, he is waiting for you."

My heart started pounding faster. I swallowed, and let out a sigh. I was really excited, but there was something that I couldn't forget. I turned to her and lowered my head. She belonged to a higher caste.

"Thank you. "

I could feel she was smiling.

"You welcome."

Probably she realized that I was hesitating, so shortly I could hear her voice.

"It’s better to go in, Aurora. Don’t let your Alpha wait for you too long. "

I immediately felt guilty. She was right. If he had been waiting for me, I couldn't have made him wait so long. He is my alpha and I have to fulfill his wishes without hesitation.

I sighed, and I gently pushed the door open to see a huge dining room. There was a long table, a lot of candles made the whole room light, but I didn't really notice that. The one thing that I really noticed was him. He stood there elegantly at the other side of the room, at the huge window, he was looking at me with a smile. I quickly lowered my head in embarrassment. I forgot the rules for a moment.

I could feel him slowly walking towards me. Finally, he stood in front of me, and his body nearly touched mine. I was really surprised when I felt he gently caressed my cheek with his fingertips, and slipped them down under my chin to lift it up, forcing me to look into his eyes.

"Are you going to eat with your head lowered?"

He smiled at me and again, I felt hypnotized by his beautiful eyes.

"Yes Alpha, I mean no Alpha."

He laughed quietly. A little bit of anger went through my nerves, I felt that wasn't fair. He knew that well, I had to respect him, I had to keep the rules, even if I was too nervous, and he found that funny.

"Aurora, don't be nervous. I'd never hurt you."

His words made me feel better a bit, but they also made me think . He'd never hurt me... the question was, in what way he meant? Physically or emotionally?

He took my hand in an elegant way, and led me to sit down. He went to the other end, and sat down too. The servants started to serve the food. Actually I wasn't hungry at all, but I tried to eat a bit. Probably he sensed that, as he looked at me and asked me.

"Do you like it?"

"Yes Alpha."

The food was indeed delicious, but I think I was just too nervous to enjoy it. And also, I didn’t really get used to this kind of food. We lived a poor life. We mostly ate rice and potatoes. We were eating to keep ourselves fit and alive, never for enjoyment.

He let out a sigh and we continued eating. We didn't talk much. The dinner finished soon. When the servant took our plates away, he stood up, and stepped next to me. He held my hand and literally pulled me up from my seat, then he folded my hand around his arm.

"Come with me."

He said. I just did what he said. We didn’t walk a lot. Soon we entered a room. It had a huge bed in it and sofas, and the fire in the fireplace warmed it up. The candles gave it a dim light. It's not that I didn’t expect this, but now I was afraid a bit. I think he sensed that. He took his coat off, and put it away. My heart started racing when he stepped towards me. He caressed my two arms all the way up with his fingertips, then he held my face in his palms and looked into my eyes.

"So beautiful."

He whispered. Then he bent down and slowly pushed his lips onto mine. We started kissing. He kissed me for a long time, but stayed gentle. That feeling appeared again, the same that I felt when he kissed me first. I was in a daze. I gently lifted my hands up, and put them on his arms. Actually, it was like they moved by themselves. We kissed for a while, then he let me go, and turned me around.

I breathed faster. He folded his arms around me, and I could feel his warm breath on my neck. I bent my head back, and a moan escaped from my mouth. I never ever felt like that. From that kiss I could feel something weird in my lower abdomen. I never felt anything like this before. He moved my hair out of the way and he slowly started to untie my dress. For a moment I felt scared. Even though I thought this was going to happen and I wanted it so much, it made me feel shocked. I tried to take deep breaths.

"Relax."

He whispered into my ear, and continued kissing my neck, while he let the dress fall on the floor.
