. Thank you for alll the votes and comments. Another chapter is finally here. My updating schedule is pretty irregular but I'll need your opinions. Should I update twice a week or as often as possible?

"So you're the dirty little female that is trying to take away my mate"

Have you ever been afraid in that you do not know whether to scream or stay numb.

Princess Iris grip on my neck tightened by the second.

I tried clawing her hands off but she seemed so determined to end me until her hands were no longer squeezing the life out of me.

She let out a demonic chuckle before skipping to the other side of the room as if she had not just tried to kill me.

Was she sane. I mean they call me crazy at times but her level of insanity was beyond comprehension.
.

I took in as much air as I could get while staying alert incase she tried something else.

"I'm sorry, I tend to overreact at times"she said as she smoothened down her dress. Her mood just switched as if she didn't try to kill me a few seconds ago. I knew hostility and could tell if someone loathed and wanted me dead

Overreact?Overreact my foot. She was crazy.

"You obviously are not as pretty as me and lets not get started on your hair or your clothes. You are just a servant so why would he want you?"

"..."

"I've been with the prince during his best and worst moments. I've supported him, offered solutions and sacrificed so much. I've sacrificed so much and I waited. I waited for him to finally notice me and do you know how long I waited ?"

I didn't answer to that.

"2000 years I tell you "

Wow. Thats alot of years and that made me question . How old was Xavier because he doesn't look a day past 24 but it also made me see the princess in a different light. She ... She waited for him,she has gone through so much with Xavier ,she deserves him

"What is wrong human. Did strangling you make you loose your voice? I knew humans were fragile I just didn't know that they were this fragile I mean take a look at yourself you look horrible"

"No."I whispered trying to look brave.

"Well because I am merciful ,I forgive you for liking my Xavier despite the fact that he despises you. I do not blame you. He is very handsome so it's inevitable for one to admire him."she sighed.

What was I supposed to say to that.

"Thank you?"It came out more of like a question than an answer.

She began circling ne as a preditar does to its prey and even touched my hair while she was at it.

"Ugly hair,ugly face ,chubby oh and lets not mention the ugly scars you have, this is all I need"

I was completely clueless. Why would she need all those negative qualities I have. Or maybe she wants to sacrifice me to their werewolf gods or something

"You are shivering ,human. Are you cold?"

For a minute I thought she actually cared but the cold water that ran through my hair stated different. She just poured her ice cold water on me.

She let out another chuckle that angered me further.

"Aww you look cute when you're upset"she said as she clapped her hands.

"I'm in need of a personal maid human and you seem to fit the job description perfectly"

No!Anything but that. Heaven knows what evil and wickedness will befall upon me.

"Do I have a choice your highness?" I asked hoping that her answer would be no but luck was not on my side.

She sunk her claws into my lower back and let out a snarl.

"You do not have a choice!"

Please stop you are hurting me"

"Shut up!"

"Why are you doing this Princess Iris. I have done nothing against you"

"You'll be surprised. You'll get your new set of attire from Mellissa and oh your room has been permanently changed because its too big for you"

"Then where shall I stay?"

"You'll see"

By the looks of things I might be even lucky to get a small closet other than staying in some old stable.

I gave a slight curtsy and walked out of the room wondering where I went wrong in life. I knew that working directly for Princess Iris was not going to be easy. Especially due to the fact that she thinks that I am after her mate,Xavier.

Well she was wrong and I was going to prove her otherwise. I am not as weak as she says she is and I will not let myself act pitiful.

Maybe if I stand my ground and be firm about who I am,she would probably warm up to me.

What I didn't realise soon enough was that this was all a ploy and soon enough I would forget who I truly am.

"How long do I have to wait"

"Leave it all up to me"
