**Rosalie POV**
A few days had gone by since I had been brought to my room.
The first moment I stepped into it, I was in utter shock over how beautiful it was, and the fact that he was asking me to stay here.
Well… he wasn’t really asking me himself. In fact, I had not seen him since the day he left the hospital.
It was a sunny day, and the clear blue sky was lovely. It reminded me of that pair of dangerous yet captivating eyes of his.
The cold-hearted Alpha of Drogomor, Ethan… and my master.
It had been two weeks since I last saw him. A part of me longed with curiosity to see him again, but yet… I was also terrified.
Shaking my head, I tried to brush off the thoughts about him. I should have been happy that I didn’t have to face that scary man.
“Rosalie!”
Knocking at the door drew my attention. As I stood from the small chaise in the room, I watched Vicky enter.
“Good morning! I just wanted to make sure they brought your breakfast already.”
She saw the almost-still-full plate, and sat down next to me.
“Did you not like toast? I can ask them to bring something else.”
She was worried about me, I could tell. Not because I was the breeder, but because she truly treated me as her friend.
“Vicky, the toast was tasty.” I gave her a smile. “Thank you for making it for me. I just didn’t have a large appetite… Sorry!”
I was still hesitant about a lot in this place, but at least I had Vicky and Estrella, who didn’t make me feel so afraid anymore.
“You gotta stop saying ‘sorry’, miss!”
She raised her voice intentionally, and pretended to be scolding me. Then a big smile appeared on her face. Vicky always had a lovely way to cheer me up.
“Okay, Vicky! Thank you, really.”
I could not be more grateful for what she had done for me.
“Oh, Talon will actually be by soon to fetch you. Not sure why, but he said just to let you know he was coming. ”
I nodded. Talon had been checking on me almost every day, and I had gotten used to his visits. He normally stayed far enough away for me to feel comfortable. It was hard to believe that the second-in-command of the Drogomor pack was a well-mannered gentleman.
“Here, I brought you some new clothes! Try them on for me!”
Vicky was excited for dress-up, apparently, but I was a bit confused and curious now.
When Talon came to visit, he didn’t need to notify me ahead of time. I was always in my room.
So why did Vicky come to dress me up… unless they wanted me to meet with someone…?
…Ethan?
