CHAPTER 26
ZENEVIEVA.
"Lexa! Why are you here?" I blurted in shock and earned some glares from the others who were also crouched on the ground.
They were about five of them in that position but my attention was solely focused on Lexa.
"They took me and flogged the hell out of me as soon as you were dragged outside" She shrugged. "They said it's an order from the new King."
I bit my lips in anger, her wolf growled at the sheer amount of wickedness but she composed herself.
"You…I'm sorry. You shouldn't have stayed with me. I've made you in a deep mess." I let my tears flow freely, In fact, all my pent-up emotions burst open and I cried rivers of big tears.
She let me be, coercing me and making me cry everything out.
I sniffed and stood up.
"I'm sorry." I apologized to her again and she shook her head.
"No I'm sorry, is this the shit you go through with him? I thought you're supposed to be his Luna?"
I swallowed, shame overwhelming me at once that my heart ached.
"It's complicated," I told her but she shook her head in disagreement.
"Of course, he's a beast!"
She yelled in sheer bitterness and I could see the hatred in her eyes.
"How long are you staying here?" She asked.
"Seven days."
"What? That long?"
"He said that's the punishment for breaking the royal plaque "
"Oh Vieva, how clumsy were you to break such…."
"I d.. I didn't know?" I paused, I couldn't tell her I didn't break it. What will it even change? Tyson had the overall authority and there nothing no
"Wait! You didn't break it right?" She asked, her eyes wide open and I wondered how she figured out that.
"I didn't say that."
"Oh my god! You didn't break it, how could he be so tyrannical?"
I sighed.
"He hates me so much!"
"You should learn to shut the fuck up when you're in a dungeon like this."
A loud voice yelled and the whole place became quiet at once which irritated the hell out of me.
"Who said that?" I asked and no one answered. The whole place suddenly became a graveyard.
" Who made that statement?" I asked again and a heavy footsteps was heard.
"I did! Will you shut up?"
She stood and yelled and I raised my face to look at her almost intimidated at size but I didn't flinch.
She looked somewhat masculine with her features and I wondered what sort of a lady is that.
Her hair was long and she had a scar on her face.
"Who are you?" I asked curiously, her type shouldn't be here but carrying irons with the men with such appearance.
"It's none of your business, no noises are allowed in here as long as I'm here.” She fired, clearly irritated at my boldness but I only gave her a smirk.
"Then you should tell that to the walls, not me, I never said you should have a hearing disorder"
I told her and they all gasped at my response, that must have took her unawares cause her eyes glinted instantly and in a swift move she raised her hands to hit me and yelled. "You fucking trash!!"
"You don't want to try that, do you? I'm as weak as a pin right now and I won't do a thing to you but if you dare lay your hands on me, I'll fucking kill you "
I threatened.
I came here to stay and not to get pissed. I'll keep repeating that I'll tolerate the bullying by the royal ones but not with the riff-raff like this ones, my life is already too interesting with pains to add to the list.
Tyson and his cohort had gone extreme this time around and they won't see what's coming for all of them.
I would never be a weak gamma!
"You're nothing but a trashed bin, a Queen in disguise! You have no right to tell me that shit you just spewed."
"And you're any better? You're just going to stay here and rot like a pig!"
A fierce blow landed on my nose and I fell flat on the floor.
Not moving, not feeling my body except the cold blood that seeped out of my nose and I slowly blacked out realizing that my sharp mouth didn't save me this time around.
*****
We all got up in the morning and I got prepared for my first hard labor.
Cleaning.
I was asked to clean the entire kitchen of the entire pack alone.
"That's so bizarre!" I whined in disgust l, saying to the lady who looked so pleased to assign such a duty to me.
"Tell that to the king! Your time starts now and if you don't finish before noon, another work will be added!"
The chief maid commanded as usual with her annoying tone and turned to leave.
I dragged her head backward.
"Do you know who you're talking to huh?"
She turned to slap me but I held it firm in the air and slapped her so hard that she flew to one of the tables and fell.
"You dare tell the Luna of Mudville pack to clean an entire kitchen, have you gone nuts?"
"It's the Alpha's orders!" She cried out, holding her chin.
" And you think the Luna is powerless? Do you know how your fate would be if the moon goddess ever heard of this?"
I saw a flicker of fear appear in her eyes and I grinned.
Exactly.
Unless I'm going to threaten them with words and skip work until wounds fully heal, I would work to death.
My wolf was slowly closing and licking every wound and scar mounted on me and if I stressed her too much, it wouldn't be good at all."
"I….the Alpha ordered me to make sure you're given hard labor!" She hissed in disgust and stared herd at me as If any step closer would earn her another slap.
"Then I'm ordering you as his Luna, that it's not going to happen!! I don't care what trashy punishment he pronounced.
I remain the Luna of Mudville pack, get out!!"
I yelled in anger and she crawled out in fear and I hissed loudly.
Tyson thinks doing this to me would stop me from crushing those that need to be crushed, I've had enough already.
I know I'm not fit to be in here but I never presented myself on this godforsaken Pack!!
Fate dragged me here!
"What's going on here?"
Collette walked in with two guards, displaying her arrogance in her long sequin gown and lush dark hair.
I glared at her fiercely and she was visibly pissed and irritated."You're supposed to be working!"
"You're supposed not to exist, your presence alone is a curse!"
I fired at her and she gasped with her mouth agape.
"You witch!! I see you got your sharp tongue back!" She growled, taking slow steps towards me and I grinned.
"I never lost them, now get lost!"
"Are you mad? How dare you order me out! Have you forgotten that you're still under punishment?"
"Oh remind me, that's why you lack etiquette! Have you seen how jobless you are!"
She raised her hands to slap me and I kicked the crown off her head and yanked her hair hard to make her kneel.
My wolf gets irritated at their presence and it's obvious I'm no longer in control.
"If you dare lay your hands on me, I will strip her naked and beat her to a pulp!" I yelled at the guards who came closer to me.
"Go tell the king, calm other guards!! She's gone mad!" Collette cried out in pain.
I slapped her so hard, I'm already on punishment so what's the worst they could give to me?
I raised my head to see Tyson coming in fierce rage and I knew that all hell would definitely break loose.
