Chapter 28: _Stuck Up Chihuahua

Chapter 28: _Stuck Up Chihuahua Odessa’s POV ***** After Kaelos left me in his office when his assistant or whoever called him about a problem at Elder Davina’s residence, I was livid as I pouted while trying to relax. I was still butt naked and alone, waiting for my maid to arrive with some fresh clothes so I could head to my room and have a much-needed bath. As I waited for my maid, however, my face flushed with a mix of embarrassment and arousal when I remembered all the things Kaelos did to me right here in his office. Oh, he’s good. Everything from his sensual kisses to his tongue game... Goddesses have mercy. "I can’t deny the pull that man has over my life," I muttered, using my palm to rub my forehead. "The question is, how do I break that pull? Am I even sure if I want to be his mate for the rest of my life?" As I pondered about all this, a knock suddenly sounded at the door, causing my heart to jump a bit. "Ma’am, it’s me." Caroline’s voice sounded on the other side, causing me to sigh with relief. I stared down at my naked body with embarrassment before covering my essentials with my hands after which I proceeded to yell out. "You can come in!" The door swung open, and Caroline walked in, holding a dress, a bra, and underwear in her hands. As soon as I saw that however, I groaned, forcing her to raise her head and stare at my face. But as soon as she did that, her face became pale when she realized I was naked, causing her to quickly look away. "Oh, my." She mumbled, looking flustered. "Y– You’re naked, ma’am." Yeah, and the sky is blue. I decided to dismiss her shock with a light chuckle as I stepped forward. "It’s fine, Caroline. We’re both women after all." I remarked, even though I was embarrassed. But what’s been done has been done. Anyway, I took the dress off her hands when I got in front of her, staring at it curiously. It was a blue cotton dress with some flower embroidery laced around the hem. However, I’d already begun to grow bored of wearing only dresses and gowns and lowered the dress, using it to cover myself as I stared at Caroline. "This wouldn’t do at all." I blurted, clicking my tongue. "Aren’t there more contemporary clothes in my wardrobe? Like a pair of jeans or something?" Caroline reluctantly raised her head to stare at my face, her nose scrunching just then. I tilted my head, wondering what was going on in that ginger head of hers, but never would I have imagined what she’d say next. "D– Did you and the Alpha king have sex, ma’am?" Caroline asked meekly, seeming shocked that she asked such a question herself. My mouth fell wide as I blinked at her, speechless. What on earth... What gave her the audacity to ask me that? Was privacy no longer a thing? "My apologies if that question was... Offensive." Caroline muttered just then, bowing repeatedly. "It’s... It’s just that I could pick up the scent of his pheromones all over the office and it’s suffocating and hard to ignore. Also, the Alpha king even touching a woman is a new development." I dimmed my eyes, surprised by what I was hearing. Not the part about pheromones... I didn’t understand whatever the fuck that was and didn’t even want to know. However, the part about Kaelos allegedly being hesitant about ’touching a woman’? "But he was married to Luna Celine, wasn’t he?" I couldn’t help but ask, almost forgetting that I was still naked and needed a bath. "Or, are you saying their marriage was sexless? Yikes... No wonder she’s more bitter than a chihuahua in heat." Caroline’s face became redder than a tomato as soon as I said that. Speaking of which, I still reeked of the tomatoes I fell on at the market earlier today... "No, no, no." Caroline waved repeatedly in response to my last question, shaking her head. "Their marriage wasn’t sexless as far as I know. But outside of wanting children with her... The Alpha king didn’t really pay much attention to the Luna Queen. And outside that, he’s been disinterested in the idea of doing anything with any woman who isn’t his mate." I gulped when I heard that last part. It seems this whole ’mate’ shit was more real than I first guessed. If it could make Kaelos wait so long for his mate, who happened to be me, then how strong was the bond? Just then, Caroline shook her head, seeming embarrassed. "Forgive me, ma’am. I shouldn’t be telling you all this. It’s not my place to gossip." She remarked. However, I stared at her with an amused smile, placing a hand on her shoulder and shaking my head. "Nah. As my personal maid, I insist that you share whatever information you have that might prove interesting to me." I said casually, giving her a teasing wink. She blinked awkwardly at me but I ignored that, stepping back and glancing at the dress in my hands again. Ugh, just looking at it made me wish I could do a fire spell and burn it into ash. "I’ll put this on and follow you to my room. But once we get there, you’ll bring out something more contemporary for me to put on." I remarked plainly, taking the underwear and bra out of her hands and putting them on. She seemed hesitant at my request but eventually nodded in understanding. Anyway, after I successfully put on the clothes, I gestured at the door. "Shall we?" With that, we both walked out of the office, with Caroline leading the way. However, as we navigated our way through the hallway on our way to my room, I spotted someone up ahead that instantly made me feel like I wanted to sink into the ground. Celine. "Good morning, Luna Celine." Caroline greeted her with a bow as soon as we got to her. Meanwhile, I ignored the stuck-up chihuahua and kept on moving, hoping that ignoring her would keep me away from any potential trouble with her. Oh, how wrong I was... "Stop right there, witch." Celine snapped, forcing me to pause in my tracks.
