Chapter 82 Totem judgement
Chapter 82
Rosa's POV
“About-protecting-her.” Alpha Vexhood let it out slowly and calmly.
Like he was passing some kind of instructions to a pup or younglings.
I turned to Caramel, she couldn't look into my face, she buried her face into the ground.
I knew she had said something. Something that aggravates the situation in the room..
When would she stop this? After everything she had said about me to Ryder. Why?
I clenched the side of my gown, and balled the other into a fist .
That you can do everything to protect her…” alpha Vexhood added, his thick and commanding voice echoed through the room.
They fell into a deep silence, the sound of a needle if it fell into the ground.
I…I..” I stammered.
Allow the gods to speak,"Alpha Vexhood quickly interrupted.
that you can part your world into two for her stay in the palace.
At this time fear had overwhelmed me, my feet rigid. Maybe it is part of the spell Alpha Vexhood had casted on me.
At this same time I was looking at the totem in hand, the greenish glow. Everything it represents.
What would happen if he stretched the totem at me. How would I escape?
I knew he could, I just don't know when?
Someone who could punish his own son, with his totem for misbehaving, right in my presence what could he not do when ever he gets angry.
“ The news reached me that you have even made her the chief maid and head of the kitchen.”
I turned to Caramel, she didn't even bother to look into my face. Her face still stuck into the ground like the gods were speaking to her through it.
She knew the damage she had caused. I knew that at that point, I was teetering on the brim of being struck with Alpha Vexhood’s totem.
I have witnessed a lot of wolves both young and old, even recently was his son, thank the goddess I was there to save Ryder from his father's wrath.
I was even told that she heals the sick easily like she had been possessed by the gods,” alpha Vexhood paused a bit, he nodded his head in a pitiful manner, “ to crown it all, I was told that she looked exactly like Mila, your sister."
Alpha Vexhood fumed.
I cleared my throat and finally spoke, anything unexpected could happen and the unexpected is coming from nowhere but his totem.
“I…I’m sorry… I didn't know that my action had angered … the gods,” I stuttered, looking for suitable words to appease him. “it wasn't my idea to allow her work here in the first place?
“Then whose idea?” Alpha Vexhood asked.
“Jax's?”
Dead silence reigned in the room. My lips stuck to the roof of my mouth. Appropriate words denied my lips.
But, I did something. Grasp a glimpse of. I twisted my face towards Caramel.
“She did?”
No words. No nodding of head. Nothing at this point.
My earlier gesture had passed across enough messages.
“Alpha Vexhood turned to Caramel is that true
In fact I didn't want to have anything to do with her she told me that I should employ her to satisfy my sexual needs since alpha Jax had fallen short of that,”
Caramel flinched, she was getting buried and that pendulum of disaster may soon swing to her direction.
“That's not true… I didn't say such I was only saying she could be her confidant, someone she could talk to anytime . I am not here.
“Bang! Bang!”
The knock on the door stuck words into Caramel's lips. She reached for the door knob.
Two maids entered the room. They flinched, even one of them wanted to go back immediately she set her eyes on alpha Vexhood.
Alpha Vexhood that didn't pass through the main gate. No one saw him while coming in. His arrival may send a bit of jittery into the palace atmosphere.
Alpha Vexhood and the elders forum had long stayed away from the palace activities.
They dragged their feet into the room.
I directed my hands to them. A perfect signal for them to drag their feet into the middle of the room to directly deliver whatever news they have concerning the whereabouts of lyra to alpha Vexhood.
It's obvious that it wasn't good news, since lyra didn't follow them into the room.
The air in the room thickened. The room became heated, like the walls were closing up on us. Fear and uncertainty painted on everyone's face.
Death mocked us in his face as everyone's eyes were always directed towards the totem in his hand. Alpha Vexhood held it tightly with his right hand.
Everyone could smell death itself, its presence filling the room as he stood in the corner, a pestle clenched tightly in his hand.
In a blink of an eye he could strike and the funniest aspect of it is that no one outside the walls of this room would know the cause of our death without the traces of the cause of death, alpha Vexhood.
The two maids dragged their feet like it had been casted with iron closer to alpha Vexhood.
They knelt and bowed down on their knees like they were worshipping the gods. Not because of anything but maybe alpha Vexhood would have pity on them especially when they knew their love is on the line.
A few seconds passed, then one of them spoke, “ we have searched the whole place, but we have not seen lyra, holy one…"
He didn't finish before the other interrupted, “ a few omegas we approached even said they have not seen her today,”
Alpha Vexhood tugged a dangerous smile at the corner of his lips, then a frown followed.
Everyone perked, our heart had jumped to the front of our teeth, fear and uncertainty dominated the air.
I watched where I stood, his grip tightened around the totem in hand making a strange sound around the totem . Myself and caramel quickly exchanged glances, our breath hitched.
“Repeat what you have just said now!”
