The concubine assistant
" If I'm an animal, I'd rather be reincarnated into a werewolf. "
The year 1995
"Wake up Ariana, time to pack your things! The King's Butler is here to take you!" A roaring sound like thunder hit Ariana's ears. She groaned in her sleep. She's still not in the mood to open her eyes but when she felt a rough hand-shaken off her shoulders, she has no choice but to get up.
" Is this my birthday gift mom? To be sent in the palace?" She asked her mother Mira while her eyes weren't opening yet.
" Yes! It's the only way to pay off our debts. You're now eighteen and I told the King to select you as his concubine assistant!" She said she doesn't care about her feelings.
Ariana frowned and set a moody face to her mother.
Today is her birthday and some parents throw a big party for their daughter but she's not one of them. Her family was very poor and his father was a shoemaker only. Sometimes, she's dreaming to be like the King, he's the ruler of his own Kingdom and the law.
" Okay, just give me five minutes to prepare my things mom" she mumbled and drag her feet to the bathroom. Her mom left her and entertained the butler who was patiently waiting for her.

Ariana Ferrer bid goodbyes to her parents and she was sent alone to the palace with the company of the King's Butler Charlie.
She wanted to weep after leaving her town but this was her destiny and she has no power to decide for herself because her family would suffer the consequences.
At last, they came to the Arcadia Kingdom where royal families lived there. Her eyes were fascinated by the beautiful scenery in front of her. The place is cool and spacious.
The whole place was also covered with many guards at the entrance like war soldiers in their outfits. They looked like a gladiator.
" Come, follow me!" Charlie called out my attention while we are entering the King's room.
I'm a little nervous because this is my first time to work and to meet the King. I heard rumors that he's still hot even he's older.
"My Lord, I have the girl and she will be serving Concubine Amaya!" He told him with a bow as a sign of respect.
King Markus set his eyes on her with full of earnestly. He scanned every part of the young lad in front of him. He raised his eyebrows once and he blinks twice as a sign of acceptance.
" What's your name, young lady?" He asked her with a soft tone in his voice. The Alpha King played well to the newcomer in the palace. Ariana was not aware that she lured herself inside the family of werewolves.
" You can go inside. I'm now leaving." He told me and I just nodded. Now I'm alone, just by myself inside this woman's room.
" Come in!" I heard her arrogant voice. She seemed not good for everyone. She looked spoiled.
I came in and when she comes out from her bed covered with a lace cloth around it, she was very young, I think she was the same age. I'm surprised to find a concubine so young and beautiful.
I waited for her to ask me anything. She just sat in her golden chair and comb her long and shiny hair.
She stared at me from head to toe. I'm not surprised about that because the King also did that to me when I met him and introduced myself.
" Hmmm, your not that bad to be my assistant. Anyway I'm Amaya and you are.." she paused.
I quickly answered back. " Ariana, I'm Ariana Perrier, my lady," I said.
She nods her head. She's not even smiling at me. I'm afraid on my first day since I don't have any experience in this line of work.
" Okay, Ariana, whatever your name is, just call me Amaya, and tonight the King will hold a big party for the victory from the Invaders so you have to help me okay?" She said and I quickly nodded at her.
