Chapter 2.
Luna was done sieving the grains, she thought of relaxing on the wall of the kitchen for a deep relaxation as she was so tired and hungry but another job was immediately assigned to her by one of the maids, she was to wash the dishes.
She was the omega after all, the weakest one among them all, even the maids were stronger than her, so she had to obey.
"The dishes will not wash themselves Luna, get to work and stop being lazy! You shouldn't make it obvious that you are weak you this ungrateful child." She heard her step mother's voice from behind again, just when she was about to carry out the maid's command.
So she scrambled to the sink immediately, she almost fainted when she saw the amount of used dishes in the sink, the dishes covered the sink then on the floor and on the cabinet, she was astonished and was subconsciously counting the number of people in the palace who used all the plates.
"And why are you counting your fingers instead of washing the dishes? It seems to me as if you want your fingers to turn to eight in number instead of ten." Rebecca shouted at her, but Luna didn't heard her, she was counting her fingers but in her mind, she was counting the number of people.
Luna was lost in thought but jumped up in fright when a cold metallic thing suddenly met her shoulder.
"Ah!" She screamed. She turned to see what had happened, she behold Rebecca, holding a knife in her hand, with her face squeezed up in a frown looking like a sea witch.
"Why mother?" Luna asked tearfully. Rebecca's frown deepened, she had hit Luna angrily with the flat surface of a knife.
"What did I told you about calling me your mother? I can never birth something so weak and ugly like you and I'm sure your mother won't be proud of you either!" She raised the knife on Luna but was stopped by the chief maid who entered the kitchen.
"You are not meant to be here Rebecca, you should leave this kitchen immediately and train up your child at home not in a kitchen." The chief maid had said, Rebecca snorted, feeling stupid for being reprimanded by the maid.
""You are lucky she saved you, though I am sure she wouldn't be able to save you again next time." She then faced the chief maid, "And you, always mind your business. How I train up my child and a bastard or where I train them up should not be your business, so mind what concerns you and stop being jealous of me!" Rebecca stormed out of the kitchen after the words.
The chief maid glared at Luna, "Don't think I fought for you, I will gladly fight for a chicken than to waste my time on you. Wash those dishes clean and don't you dare break one or else you will have to face some bitter punishment." Other maids laughed as they heard the words of the chief maid.
Luna bowed her head in shame as the tears threatened to fall though she fought hard to prevent it from falling. She began washing the dishes slowly and carefully, mindful of the way she handled the plate.
"You are being too slow on the wash, you still have other things to do." One of the maids said to Luna, noticing how slow she was. Luna was frustrated and had to wash faster even with an empty stomach which led to her breaking some of them.
Finally, she was done with the day's work, which included the clearing of grass, washing of the other maids' clothes with her bare hands and she had to feed the sheep, she was so tired. On a normal good day, her work wouldn't be that stressful but due to the plates she broke, she had to do some extra works though it was just a little bit different from her daily jobs.
She walked sluggishly to her room, feeling like an heavy weight was placed on her shoulders. She only ate two slices of wrinkled bread with some mayonnaise, the mayonnaise must have expired because of the way it tasted, it was sour though she didn't thought of anything as she was eating, she was too hungry to think.
A stomach ache hit her hard as she got to her room, she have been starving lately and she overwork, so her stomach was disagreeing with her and she had nothing to eat to suppress the pain, she managed to lie on her bed and her cat went to her meowing in delight.
"I am dying slowly." She whispered to the cat. The cat stared at her in different emotions, with the look that stated that it cares and understand her, domineering all the other emotions.
Luna smiled, she wished she was that important to the other wolves in her park, she wished someone can look at her just the way the cat did, it had looked at her with emotions, care, understanding, sympathy and a lot more which she didn't know. She just wanted someone different from the rest, she wanted someone who sees something different in her, something that's different from what others saw, something beyond her weaknesses. She slowly drifted off to sleep, cuddling her cat.
Amanda was with Carl, the alpha to be, in his chamber, "I thought that maid is your sister, why did you looked at her with disgust?" Carl stated bewildered.
Amanda laughed, her laughter was cranky, "A bitch can never be my sister, I will rather be without a sister then to have one like her." Carl was so displeased with how Amanda qualified her fellow wolf but he decided to keep his cool and besides, not like he really cared about Luna.
"I would have really love to have a taste of the maid, she is too attractive to ignore but the fact still remains that she is an Omega, such a waste of beauty." Carl had thought shaking his head.
Amanda drew closer to Carl, she traced her hand from his laps to his shoulder down to his hand then drew up to his chest, she started caressing his chest slowly.
"How about we forget about that unfortunate being and have some fun together?" She asked like a slut she was, giving carl a flirtatious smile.
Carl was the type that got frick at anything under skirt, so he replied, "Sure, let's get something done." He smacked his lips on Amanda's, devouring her hungrily.
