Alpha’s Tormented Seductress

The next morning came with a new scent in the air. Alyssa was going to be queen soon, and this was something huge that even the atmosphere agreed to.

She woke the moment the first rays of sunshine flickered into her room and once she opened her eyes, a wide smile spread across her face.

She glanced at her ring and chuckled again in delight. Likewise, she proceeded to take a bath and prepare Tim for the day as well.

Just as she did, a knock on the door distracted her. She opened the door to meet the questioning glares of Tiffany.

“A rumor is currently circulating around the palace”, Tiffany said to Alyssa the moment she walked into the room.

Alyssa coughed lightly and wore an indifferent look, intentionally hiding her fingers to stop Tiffany from catching sight of the rings on them.

“They said that there is someone who is about to be queen”, Tiffany said, peering piercingly into her eyes and searching for answers.

Alyssa remained unmoved and only gazed at Tiffany as though she had no idea of what she was uttering.

“And, who is this person?” Alyssa asked, hiding her smile and currently enjoying the taunts she was pulling on Alyssa.

“You!” Tiffany said and Alyssa started laughing aloud.

Almost immediately, she pulled out her hands and swayed the fingers at her face.

“Yes! It’s me”, Alyssa squealed in excitement, glaring at Tiffany, who couldn’t believe her eyes.

“Oh my God!” Tiffany screamed in surprise as she quickly pulled Alyssa in for a tight hug.

“You are really getting married to the man of your dreams”, Tiffany commented, and Alyssa nodded in affirmation.

Liam was the man of her dreams and there was nothing that was going to tell her otherwise.

“Congratulations!” Tiffany squealed again as they danced around the room in circles.

Alyssa finally walked out of the room with Tiffany and as though the news had spread on its accord, they met the presence of other maids in the palace who had come to congratulate her.

“Your highness!” One of the maids said, and Alyssa couldn’t help but laugh aloud.

She couldn’t believe her ears, neither did she believe that she was going to be referred to in such manner soon.

It was all like a dream, a new dream that sang of hope and excitement.

“We can’t wait of the big day! You both are really a perfect match”, another maid around commented, while the others nodded their head in agreement.

Alyssa couldn’t contain her joy. Who would have believed that the rejected princess would one day become the queen of a fierce and powerful kingdom?

“I owe you all a treat much later”, Alyssa promised, and they all broke into a loud uproar. Many of them danced with her, while others teased her with stories of how to satisfy a man and make him crave for her always.

They all retreated after Tiffany and Alyssa were informed that their presence was needed in the queen’s quarters.

The moment the news came, Alyssa had shivered in fright because she wondered what would become of her or the queen is against her marriage with Liam.

“Relax! It’s only a mere meeting”, Tiffany tried to lighten up the atmosphere, even if she also felt a little scared.

“She knows I attempted committing suicide. She would never see me as a good figure that would stand in for the queen”, Alyssa frowned as she fondled with her hair.

Tiffany patted her on the shoulders calmly, assuring her that everything was okay and that the queen may have just called to hear from them.

With a divided and inconclusive heart, Alyssa made her way into the queen’s quarters.Copyright by Nôv/elDrama.Org.

The queen was sitting on a couch and sipping from a mug of tea. Her face widened in delight the minute Alyssa walked in together with Tiffany.

She quickly dropped the tea cup and stood to welcome them with a hug.

Alyssa was shocked to her bones. It was entirely new to see the queen standing to her feet to greet someone. It only meant that the person is acknowledged with high regards in her heart.

“It’s a pleasure to meet you…future queen”, the queen commented, grinning from ear to ear.

Alyssa turned her eyes to Tiffany who gave her a gaze that said, “I told you to relax!”.

Alyssa finally let out a massive sigh of relief, after which she smiled at the queen.

“Have a seat. We have a lot to talk about!” The queen said, and Alyssa quickly took a seat.

Tea was served and as the three of them sipped from their mug of tea, a conversation ensued.

“We need to kick start the wedding plans. You know, a royal wedding is not a mere wedding. Many things have to be put in place”, The queen said, and Tiffany nodded her head in affirmation.

Alyssa was still shocked that she barely spoke. It still looked like a dream, though with every minute, it dawned on her that she was really going to be the new queen.

“You have no idea of who your mother is, right?”

The queen asked Alyssa, who lowered her head to the ground and nodded.

“I always thought that I would meet my mother. I always wished that my mother would show up someday and save me from the hands of the wicked stepmother. But that never happened”, Alyssa started, with the queen and Tiffany listening with rapt attention.

“You know, living with my stepmother was not the easiest thing. Each day on earth was presumed to be my last. I had no idea of what she prepared against me for each day. I was already prepared to die”, Alyssa said as tears started trickling out of her eyelids.

“She can never step in as your mother”, Tiffany suggested, and the queen nodded her head abruptly.

“I won’t even allow that!” The queen said defiantly, and Alyssa let out a sad smile.

“My stepmother would never be happy for me. She may try to pretend, but that is never close to her heart. She would always derive means to hurt me…similar to the day she threw hot coals at me”, Alyssa narrated and broke down in tears.

The queen was moved that she stood to her feet and walked closer to Alyssa. She hugged her tightly and placed a soft kiss on her forehead.

“I would stand in as your mother. You don’t have to worry about that”, the queen informed Alyssa, who couldn’t believe her ears.

Alyssa leapt to her feet in joy. She never thought or imagine that the queen would be so kindhearted.

“Thank you so much!” Alyssa said to the queen, who hugged her calmly.

“You deserve every good thing. Trust me”? The queen said to Alyssa, who now had tears welling up in her eyes.

Who would have believed that she deserved every good thing? Her step-sister and stepmother had always told her that she doesn’t deserve anything good. She had lived with that thoughts, until this moment.

“What are the plans for her wedding dress? I need it to be a special one”, the queen said to Tiffany, who also couldn’t contain her joy.

“I’ve made arrangements for the best seamstress in town. She would be arriving in two days”, Tiffany explained, and the queen nodded in understanding.

“You have to trust me on this one. You would look nothing less than stunning.” Tiffany said as she hugged Alyssa, who couldn’t help smiling.
