Remembering The Past
“Alexa! You passed the test. congratulation,” shouted Jolla so happy.
That morning, Alexandra, who was cooking, immediately widened her eyes when she heard Jolla's words. She was speechless; it felt like a dream when she found out that she was accepted to work at the Moonbright royal palace. "Did I hear correctly?"
“Yes. You are indeed accepted as a palace maid. OMG! I'm very happy." Jolla immediately hugged Alexandra.
Alexandra also shouted happily. She returned Jolla's hug tightly. “Thanks for your information. I'm going to the palace right now." Alexandra immediately went to her bedroom to change clothes. She wanted to scream as loud as she could to express her happiness. However, she endured it. Her hand stroked her flat stomach as she smiled, looking into the mirror.
This afternoon, at precisely 13 p.m., Stevan, along with Morgan and his other bodyguards, visited the backyard of the palace, where the new palace workers were inaugurated. Stevan's arrival shocked all the Lycans there. They all immediately lowered their heads as a sign of respect. Now his appearance looks so neat. A knee-length black suit combined with a maroon shirt. However, as usual, he wore a mask to cover part of his face. He deliberately wore a mask because, until now, no one knew what he looked like.
Stevan and his bodyguards began to enter the backyard of the palace. Stevan's gaze was now focused in all directions, as if he were looking for something, to the point that he didn't pay attention to his subordinates who were greeting him. Stevan's eyes immediately lit up when he saw the figure of the woman he was looking for. His footsteps immediately stopped.
“Finally, I can see the same face as my ex-lover. Are you really the Alexa I've known all this time?” Stevan thought, looking at Alexandra, who was in the back row with several other new workers. Unconsciously, a smile formed on his lips. However, no one could see his sweet smile.
“Why did you stop suddenly?” asked Morgan, who was paying attention to the king's behavior.
"Please start inaugurating the new workers," said Stevan, who then stepped towards the king's chair.
Alexandra continued to pay attention to the masked Lycan king, who was sitting on the throne. “Why does he keep looking at me? Is it possible that he knows that I'm human?"
Alexandra continued to stare at the masked Lycan King. For some reason, she felt there was something strange about the king's gaze. “Ah, maybe it's just my feeling. Who knows, maybe he's not looking at me but at another Lycan," her mind started to get restless.
After the inauguration process and the reading of the oaths of the new palace workers, Alexandra started her first day of work. She can't wait to become a successful woman who can have a decent life in the Lycan world. Being accepted to work at the palace is every Lycan's dream. She felt happy because Jolla's special concoction was so effective that no one was suspicious of it.
"Alexa, you are ordered to go to the king's private room right now," said the chief palace maid.
"Only me?" Alexandra asked, looking at several of her friends, who were also new waitresses.
“Yes. Only you. Go quickly!" answered the butler. Alexandra immediately put away the cleaning tools, then went to the king's private room.
When she was in front of the door, Alexandra took a deep breath and exhaled. Her hand started knocking on the door. “Come in!” There was a sound from inside the room.
Alexandra opened the door and sauntered into the room. There was a man standing with his back to her. "What did the king call me for?" Alexandra felt anxious, afraid that her cover would be exposed. She kept her face down.
The man turned his body to face Alexandra. “Hi, Alexa. We meet again."
Alexandra raised her head when she heard her name called. Her face looked confused as she digested the king's words, because in reality, she had never met the Lycan King before. Moreover, she didn't know what the face behind the mask looked like. “Sorry, King. Is there something you want to tell me?”
"According to you?" replied Stevan, who continued to pay attention to Alexandra's face. There was a feeling of longing that welled up deep in his heart.
“Hi, what are you two talking about?” Suddenly, Morgan came and approached Stevan.
Alexandra was still silent. She studied the words of the masked Lycan King in front of her. “What does the king mean? Is it true that he knows I'm not a Lycan? But why doesn't he just punish me straight away instead of having to play a guessing game like this?” Alexandra thought. She started to become wary, afraid that her life would end today.
