I stayed alone in the given room. At one time, I was pacing around and time thinking about my previous pack. Then again, I tried to get some sleep, but my hurting body didn't let me do so. Hours passed when the door opened, and a familiar figure came inside. It was Amanda, Grey's mother. She was still in her white dress, but she looked more stern than before.

"Welcome to the pack, Everleigh." she tightly said. I nodded with a grateful smile. "I came to say that you are appointed to be under my care. I already have your schedule. Since I know everything that is between you and Grey, I've made quite a tight schedule to train you. Hope you don't mind?" she slowly asked as if she was going to test my reply.

I quickly nodded.

She walked over to me and handed over a paper. Her eyes scanned me from top to bottom.

"I heard you didn't bring any clothes with you. I will arrange a set of clothes and everything for you. Mealtimes, training times and leisure times are also written on the paper. Make sure you appear nice to get a good impression from others." she said.

I nodded again as well.

"I am doing this now, but don't think I've accepted you as Grey's mate. But I do hope something from you at least." she finally said and left the room after sparing me one last glance.

I gulped and stood there like a total idiot, then finally scanned the paper. The schedule didn't look really tight to me at all. My waking up time was 6 am, which was too late for me, and my sleeping time was 11 pm. There was training for three hours in the evening and the whole morning time was either omega classes or personal training from prior Luna. Everything looked so complicated, though.

I sighed and slumped myself on the bed. Suddenly I felt really lonely being in an unfamiliar pack. But there was a glint of happiness at the success of leaving Blue Crystal Pack.

Someone knocked on the door, and Kavin came inside after a second.

"It's time for lunch. Are you ready?" he asked.

I quickly shook my head. I wasn't ready. I didn't want to go outside!

"Chillax. I've got you some new clothes, take a wash, wear them and come out in confidence. And about your wounds, I will ask someone to apply some ointments to them. Alright?" he asked.

I faintly nodded my head, not wanting to be a troublesome person. When he was gone, I quickly looked through the pack he had brought. There were a lot of clothes inside which I had never owned. Though I had a reasonable number of clothes back in my old pack, I had to share them with other ones as well. And seeing clothes that would only be mine suddenly felt so unreal.

I took a new, clean towel out of the bag and went to the attached washroom. My jaws hung in amazement as my eyes scanned the beautiful place. I couldn't believe I was experiencing something that luxurious.

I took a wash under the sprinkling water of the shower, hissing and jumping when water his my wounds. But somehow, I got out of there alive, fresh and smelling so good. I felt so happy with my body's fragrance, and I felt clean as well. I've never had that of a refreshing bath in my entire life!

After the bath, I again sat on the bed after changing into the new given clothes. After a few minutes, there was another knock on the door. So I walked over and opened it to reveal alpha, Grey!

He quickly pushed me inside and closed the door behind him. Then he let out a nervous laugh.

"Quite a fuss to get here," he said.

I looked at him with wide eyes. Was he dumb or dumb?? Why did he appear like that when he clearly knew others might see him?

"No one saw me. I just wanted to see you. Is everything alright?" he asked in one breath.

I nodded.

"You should dry your hair," he said, pointing at my wet hair.

Then he walked around the room, looking for something. Finally, he grabbed a hair dryer from the wardrobe. I watched him with an open mouth. Was he going to use that on me? I had only seen hair dryers, but I've never used them to dry my hair.

"Come here, silly," he called me.

I obliged him and walked over. He made me sit in front of a mirror where I could see my reflection. I was basically a swollen human. That was the first thought that came to my mind. Grey plugged the hairdryer into a socket and switched it on. Then using a comb, he blow-dried my hair like an expert.

"I've done this to my sister almost every day," he said with a slight chuckle. I, too, smiled at his words. He might be a cold leader out there, but he also had an adorable hidden side in him. He blew my hair for a few minutes, and once my hair was dry and fluffy, he stopped.

Then he looked around the drawers and took out an elastic band.

"I am going to put on a ponytail. But I've no experience," he mumbled, collecting my messy hair. He gently combed it to a neat lot and pulled them up to tie. And to my surprise, he did quite an impressive job.

"There, my girl looks beautiful," he whispered and kissed my cheek. I turned into a ripe cherry just by his words and actions. He was becoming bolder and bolder every day. And I liked it.

I smiled and pressed back a kiss on his cheek. He picked me up and sat me on the dressing table.

"You got to wear shoes now," he said.

Then he went through the pack Kavin had brought me before. I couldn't help but adore his actions, and it was really new to have someone do everything for me~ I loved that new feeling because I never had anyone doing things to me.

"Canvas shoes," he said, showing me a new white pair of shoes.

And the next thing I knew, he was kneeling in front of me, tying the shoelaces. So I remembered Cinderella. I remembered the scene where the prince put on Cinderella's glass shoes for her. I felt so touched by Grey's actions.

He was basically a prince.

And so it was really heartwarming, and it was surprising how a mere omega like me, who had no one in this world, finally has someone to tie my shoelaces.

And I felt the love in my heart grow more and more at the thought of how successfully he made me feel like a princess. He really had no idea what he was doing to my heart.
