Chapter 3: CONGRATULATIONS!
"What happened here?!"
All of them were startled when they heard this familiar voice boom inside the room and the alpha's figure appeared before their eyes.
Sarah and Esther hurriedly lowered their heads, looking afraid when they noticed the alpha's eyes fall on them.
"Why do you want the guards to enter the bathroom?" Xaden asked, his voice dripping with venom. Not to mention Zuri, even the guards knew it was something inappropriate to do, let alone the alpha.
Despite their conversation the other day, he was not going to let anyone tarnish the pack name and he had made himself clear about that.
"The Luna is inside the bathroom? What are you doing here?" Xaden didn't raise his voice, he didn't have to, because they could feel his wrath as clear as day.
"Alpha... this..." Sarah then explained what happened, how she accidentally poured the hot water on the luna and now they needed to ask for the guards help to carry the luna out, because there was no way for the two of them to do it by themselves. "I didn't mean it, Alpha. I am sorry. I am truly sorry."
Sarah and Esther immediately knelt down, they begged for the alpha's forgiveness instead of the true victim, who was still inside the bathtub.
Upon hearing that, the two guards looked mortified. They thanked the heavens that they didn't immediately barge in and had been cautious enough.
"We didn't think straight, Alpha, we are very sorry for what we have done. Please, forgive us..." they said in a small voice full of remorse.
"Leave," Xaden said in a deep voice. "Call the healer here."
The two guards immediately went out of the room, scolding Esther and Sarah on their way out because the two of them almost made them get killed by the alpha.
"There is no way the Alpha will kill you," Sarah retorted quickly once they were out of the room and the alpha couldn't hear them. "The Alpha doesn't care about his mate. He doesn't love her. Don't you know? The Alpha actually went out of the pack for a month right after their ceremony!"
Sarah and Esther immediately apologized to the luna, but it didn't sound genuine after their apology to the alpha.
"I am really sorry, Luna. I didn't mean to pour the hot water on you." Sarah lowered her head, she didn't dare to look in her eyes.
"Yes, I can understand, you can mistake my head for my feet. It happens." Zuri replied coldly, her words dripping with sarcasm.
Meanwhile, Esther didn't say much, instead, she let Sarah do the talking.
"That's foolish of me, I am really sorry."
Xaden said nothing, so didn't Zuri. She didn't make them stand up either, nor did she say that she forgave them. She would deal with them later.
However, aside from the burns on her shoulder and chest, the healer had something else to announce to them.
"I will give you an ointment for the burns on your shoulders and chest, Luna," Sera, the healer, said. She looked so young, probably only two to three years younger than Zuri. "But..."
"But?" Zuri narrowed her eyes. "Is there something wrong?" She knew that no wounds could leave scars on a shifter's body, so her own body wouldn't have any scars either. If the opposite was the case, her skin would be littered with them by now.
"Let me check more thoroughly this time," Sera said. She looked more serious, her brows squinted and her eyes narrowed.
She checked on Zuri for less than five minutes before her eyes lit up and she looked at Zuri, beaming.
"Heavens!" She exclaimed, excited. "Congratulations, Alpha! Congratulations Luna!"
Zuri's heart skipped a beat when she realized what the healer was going to say and she was right about that.
"Luna! You are pregnant!" Sera announced it excitedly, as she smiled ear to ear.
