Bellatrix hugged herself as the chilly rain drenched her whole being. She trembled each time thunder struck.

Genaya, on seeing this, laughed, even in pain, "So, you're scared of thunder. What are you? A child?"

Bellatrix didn't answer her, she hugged herself tighter, hoping the rain would stop soon. Unfortunately, it kept pouring for hours.

The Alpha was in his chamber, pounding Katelyn whose moans were a beautiful melody that turned him on even more. Yes, his Luna was very good in bed, it was a pity she hadn't birthed a child for him.

That reminded him. It was pouring heavily, the breeder was outside in this rain!

'Forget it, she won't die from mere rain,' he quickly put the thought of Bellatrix at the back of his mind. Tonight, he had to reassure his Luna's sharp-set and tasty cunt that he still loved its owner.

"Fuck, Katelyn honey, you're making me want to finish all my seeds inside you tonight," he said amidst grunts.

"Then… do it Alpha, let's see… how much my cunt… can swallow," Katelyn replied with fragmented breaths. Her legs were trembling and keeping them wrapped around his waist was challenging.

But she was a stubborn woman. She had to get pregnant somehow; If she became pregnant, there would be no use for Bellatrix.

…

The next morning, Victoria rushed to the pack’s square to find her mistress unconscious. The twin siblings had been taken away to their home, both were found unconscious as well.

One of the pack's physicians, Theresa Hamilton, came over to check on Bellatrix after Victoria had taken her back to her chamber. The previously ruined door had been changed. It was only when the breeder’s fever had subsided that the physician took her leave.

Bellatrix woke up in the evening, feeling a headache and some discomfort in her back as well. Though she was a werewolf, she was an omega and her healing was nothing compared to those whose wolf rank was higher. The stinging pain from last night was gone, just a tolerable ache in her back and her head, it was okay. She felt her forehead, sure the fever was almost gone as well.

She thought back to the humiliation from those pack members. They called her ugly, and unworthy of her position. She had no right to argue back but she eventually did and got not one but two amongst that multitude punished. She should be somehow proud of that. But still…

Looking to her right, she saw her maid was fast asleep on an exquisite golden chair beside the bed.

Bellatrix got off the bed silently and with slow and slightly shaky steps, made her way to the bathroom. By the time she came out, Victoria was awake.

"Mistress," the latter called out excitedly.

"Save it!" While in the bathroom, Bellatrix had thought things through. There. was. no. need. to. pretend. anymore.

"... Mistress...? Is something wrong? Did I do anything wrong?" Victoria had on a befuddled look.

Bellatrix chest heaved as she pointed towards the entrance door, "Get out, I don't want to see you anymore. I can manage on my own."

"But... Why?" Unwillingness was greatly etched on the maid’s face. “Is there…”

"I don't wanna repeat myself," She turned her back on the anxious maid.

“Mistress…”

"You know what someone said to me last night?" Bellatrix asked, still not facing the maid.

" What...?"

"‘You’re living a carefree life!’ That's what they said. You and I know that besides the wonderful beauty treatments, good healthcare, luxurious wear and this beautiful apartment, I'm living a rather fearful life. I haven't had a good meal in the last three months. You sold your integrity for some measly rewards from the Luna. Am I wrong?"

"I... That's not true." Vicky tried to defend herself. Seeing that Bellatrix wasn't buying it, she dropped to her knees.

"Please... I... Okay, it's true. I was given some stuff by the Luna's maid, Tina. True, I was greedy and I didn't like you at the time,"

"Even now, you still don't," Bellatrix put in. “It’s thanks to you that I got on the Alpha’s bad side and got punished. I feel so foolish for believing your words about leaving my assigned residence.”

"M-mistress, please," Victoria pressed her palms together as she implored. "I swear by the goddess, I won't ever harbour thoughts of harming you again, I promise,"

"You had many chances, over ninety days to change, but you refused. You wanted my death, did you not?" Bellatrix seethed.

Victoria shook her head, "No, those things I put in your food would never kill you. You just won't be able to get pregnant,"

"How is that any different from murdering me? If you don't leave, I'll leave this residence for you to stay in."

Seeing that Bellatrix wouldn't change her mind, Vicky rose to her feet.

She then patted the creases on her dress and scoffed, "There's no use pleading with someone who's almost dead. You will be assigned another maid, but I assure you, no one will be loyal to you in this pack. You’re not a member and will never be. You’re just trash adorned with luxury, but it’s temporary, we both know that!”

“Thanks for reminding me,” the breeder was not affected by the maid’s words.

Pained, Victoria added, “And your womb at this point is no longer useful. At least you'll enjoy the Alpha's dick before you die. Or probably, he won't even have to fuck you. There are other methods, you know," she chuckled before leaving.

Bellatrix sighed, "Got rid of one pest," she muttered.

Her belly grumbled, announcing its desire for food. She rubbed her belly, "Let's go get some food,"

She wasn't too familiar with the pack, but she somehow found her way to the royal kitchen. The kitchen maids were miling about as they tried to prepare dinner on time.

On seeing her enter, a number of them stopped what they were doing.

"The punishment wasn't enough for you?" One of them said with a hostile look.

"I'm hungry," Bellatrix revealed, ignoring the posed question.

"We're making food for the Alpha and Luna at the moment. Only after that will we make you something," another maid said in a conceited tone.

" Okay. So, how long am I to wait?" Bellatrix inquired. Her stomach even rumbled to show how serious she was about the food issue.

"Well, um, maybe 4 or 5 hours. You know we still need to make something nourishing for the Alpha and his Luna's pets. We'll also make some food for the guards, ourselves..."

" I can't wait that long. I'll just make something myself," Bellatrix rolled up the sleeves of her gown.

"No, you can’t.” A black-haired, petite maid immediately objected.

“Why?” the breeder raised a brow in askance.

“Don’t act like you don’t know. You're a royal breeder. How can we allow smoke near you? Just have some patience," the black-haired maid replied.

" No," Bellatrix shook her head, "I'm afraid by the time you're done, I'll be dead,"

Yeah, since she had come here herself, it was clear to them that she must have chased away her personal maid. Someone assigned to her by the Alpha.

That was another offence she had committed. Now, Bellatrix was close to a walking corpse in their eyes.

“I said you can’t make use of this kitchen!” a brunette yelled, stepping in front of the other maids.

“We’re all omegas here,” Bellatrix tried to reason as her stomach grumbled again.

“Save it!”

Bellatrix turned to see Victoria.

And.. Tina was beside her.

“See how pitiful you are? You chased me away and minutes later, you’re already being bullied by your own kind. No, you’re not even fit to be our kind. You’re trash,” Victoria said with haughtiness.

Bellatrix didn’t know who Tina was but she guessed the latter might be, in a way, related to the Luna somehow.

“You said you wanted to make food yourself. You’ve been having it easy for this long and you think making delicious food is easy. Go on, go make your own food. The Luna has decided, you won’t get any maid to assist you in anything, just as you wanted. The cleaning of your assigned residence is solely your responsibility. Until the Alpha graces you. That is, even if he remembers you,” Tina turned to leave after speaking.

“Tell your Luna I said thanks. She should as well stop those tricks of hers, I’ve put up with them for so long. And Victoria, good luck being a rug,”

“Even if I’m a rug, at least I’m a beautiful rug, a useful one. But you belong in the trash bin. Doom is the only thing that you deserve,” with a scoff, Victoria turned to leave.

Bellatrix shook her head with a sigh and went further into the kitchen.
She was given access to two pots, and a few other utensils. Then, she chose, without complaint, from the ingredients she was allowed to take. But she wasn’t given meat. 

Meat was very important for werewolves. There was nothing like a vegetarian werewolf.

Now, these maids were forcing her to go down the path of not having meat. But that was fine. She was making food for herself, one that she didn’t have to worry about it being tampered with.

After making the vegetable dish, she wolfed it down with relish, ignoring the looks from some of the maids who trying hard not to salivate.

After making all the utensils she used clean again, she thanked the kitchen staff before leaving.

“Damn, that… she’s good,” one of the maids was forced to comment.

It was just a vegetable dish, not a single meat was in it, but it smelt so good when all she used was simple ingredients.

The goddess knew they wanted her to leave some leftovers but the latter did not.

Forget it, no matter how appetizing the food looked, it wouldn’t do what meat did for werewolves.

The Alpha soon heard that his Breeder had chased away her maid and was now taking care of her residence and even making meals for herself.

“I see,” Alpha Killian said to his Beta. “Ask the kitchen maids to give her some meat. I don’t want her to look like an impoverished rat. As well, assign a new maid to her. And that maid she chased away, assign her to the McCartney household.”

Genaya and her twin hailed from that household.
“Yes, Your Majesty,” the Beta bowed before taking his leave.

The Alpha leaned back in his high chair, a small smirk lifting the corner of his mouth as he twirled the pen in his right hand, ‘Finally showing a little stubborn side, huh? I’d like to see what you’ll do next,’ he thought. 'As long as you don't go out of bounds again, I'll not kill you, mate'
