ALPHA JAKE’S POV
I listened with rapt attention as Violet narrates everything that had transpired between her and Scarlet, my luna.
I could tell that she was filled with rage and I wonder what might have given Scarlet the audacity to stand up to Violet in such a demeaning manner even right in front of my servants.
“You mean she instructed Tabitha to go against your order?” I asked.
“Yes, alpha, that is what I have been lamenting about. Are you even listening?” she replied.
“Was she aware that you were acting under my order?” I inquired.
“She’s got so much guts, alpha, and next time something like this dares to repeat itself, I will not hesitate to teach her a great lesson and put her in her place” she replied.
“And what was your reaction when she still went ahead with her decision even when she learnt that you were there for me?” I inquired.
“She said it meant nothing to her, she said she doesn’t care and that whosoever needs anything from the house should come to her directly” she replied.
“What? What a show of foolishness. Does she have any idea about who I am?” I flared.
“She refused to listen to anyone, not even Tabitha or her personal maid. She was so full of herself” she replied.
“Then she does have it in her. It is in their blood, proudness is known to run in the bloodline of beta Tim of Diamond Cut Pack but now I will show her that the whole of her family put together is nothing when compared to how arrogant that I can be” I said.
“Beta Tim of Diamond Cut Pack, is that her family?” she asked.
“Hey, see I do not want you to go digging up on her,” I said.
“Oh, her father is a beta. Now I see why she had the effrontery to look me in the face and speak when I speak. But I will not let this die down. I will show her that over here, I am queen. A queen that does not need a crown to be validated. She might be something in Diamond Cut, but here in Black Moon, I am the second after you” she said.
I did not reply to her but turned my face away from hers instead.
She rolled herself in me and held my neck. She used her left hand to tilt my face towards hers and kissed me on the lips. “Agree that I am the next in line after you, Jake, I need your validation” she moaned.
“Yes, you are the next after me, and it will remain that way” I affirmed.
I held up her face and took her lips in mine. As I kissed her, she moaned quietly.
Suddenly, she moved her face away and stood up from my body. I became confused by her impromptu action as I have no idea why she had reacted in the way she did.
“And what is the problem now, my queen?” I inquired.
“I was here, why did you go for her?” she asked.
“Must we keep going over this, when will it end” I lamented.
I got up from the seat and moved closer to her. I tried to hold her but she gently moved my hands away.
“Okay, but you know the answer to that already,” I said.
In reaction, she turned her back to me. I placed my face on her shoulders and used my lips to caress her neck.
“Stop it, alpha, this is not time for this” she instructed.
“You know I hate being told what to do, right? And you will be getting punished for this” I replied.
She exhaled. “Don’t you care about me, am I not enough for you?” she asked.
“Of course I care about you and of course you are even more than enough. But you know what I want” I replied.
She did not say anything but went on to pull herself away from me and she moved a step further. “Tell me, alpha, I want to understand” she murmured.
“I want to always be in control and with you, I don’t think that is going to be possible. I don’t want love; I don’t want to be entangled in it. All I want is pleasure, one that comes with maximum control. And we both know that I would be having none of that with you” I explained for like the hundredth time.
She always made me do this, but no matter how many times I do it she will never understand and that is one of the problems with her. I want a woman that would never dare to speak when I am talking and I would never get any of that from Violet.
“But I always abide by your will, now by bringing her you have only made me less than her and you needed to see how condescendingly she had spoken to me. You must get her out of here” she said.
“But she is my luna now, things are not done that way” I replied.
“But I should be with you instead” she screeched.
“And I want absolute control, Violet” I replied.
“And you just heard about what she just did, you saw how she had dared to go against your order. This is something that I will never do” she held on to my hands tightly as if I was going to vanish if she should let go.
“Don’t worry I will take care of that. I will make sure that she gets adequately punished for that and that she does not find her voice when next she is in my presence or my name is been mentioned” I replied.
“Seriously” she smiled and came over to caress my neck.
“Yes, Violet, I will give her what she deserves” I replied.
“And make sure she never gets to speak when I am before her too,” she said.
I chuckled.
“What is the problem, Jake? She is not supposed to be higher than me” she challenged.
“She is the luna, Violet. I will punish her for going against my order. And on the issue of being supposedly rude to you, I am sorry you will have to find a way around that yourself and take care of it” I replied.
“And is that all you have to say?” she asked in disappointment.
“The two of you are my women, and I do not intend to favour one against the other. Actually, I will enjoy watching you two fight over me” I giggled.
“This is not funny” she smirked.
“Yes it is not supposed to be funny to you” I replied.
“Then if that is the case, no one should get more favoured than the other. Robert should stop paying any attention to her” she said.
“Talking about getting favoured, she has not set her eyes on me since after we arrived yesterday and I have been wrapped up in your arms to the detriment of my new wife” I replied.
“I don’t want Robert to give her any attention still, alpha. Either that or I will leave honourably” she threatened.
“I don’t like threats and you know it” I responded.
“This is not a threat, alpha. By doing that, I will be obeying your decision which you made for yourself willingly” she countered.
Now I know that she was not joking. She is my fantasy and I cannot bear to lose her. She understands me and knows just how to match my passion. I will have to do this for her if I want to keep her. Anyways, what does my luna need the beta for? She’s got a lot of maids and servants to attend to her instead.
“Maybe you should call Robert and say that to him yourself” I concurred.
“You should do that, alpha,” she responded.
“Why?” I asked.
“No one listens to me around here anymore, I bet your luna must have also ordered him not to listen to me ever again” she sulked.
“Come on, there is no way that can be possible, no one dares look down on you. You are my guilty pleasure, remember. Now call him and tell him right in front of me and let me see if he would dare to refuse you” I said.
“Robert” she called out to Robert who by this time was having combat with one of the warriors.
He stopped the fight and turned towards us.
“Come over here, Robert,” she said.
He ran up to us and bowed.
“I noticed that you have been unnecessarily close to the new girl and I want you to stop. You don’t have to attend to her any longer” she ordered.
“By the new girl, do you mean the luna’s personal maid, Lara? Of course, I will stay away from her” Robert replied.
I chuckled and this infuriated Violet further.
“And what business do I have with you escapades with a maid, Robert? I am talking about Scarlet. And I don’t care if you choose to address her as your luna or anything but I say that you do more useful things with your time” she commanded.
“I will do as you have instructed, Violet” Robert replied.
“Just go” she dismissed him with a wave.
“Now to your punishment, follow me to my chambers” I grabbed her and carried her up.
My action was sudden and this made her giggle and hold on to my neck.
“Hope you are ready for it?” I asked.
“Can I wish it away?” she asked.
I thought about her question for a while before I replied. “And for even daring to think of wishing it away, I will make it double”
“What?’ she cried.
“And now it has increased as a result of the protest,” I said.
She wanted to say another word but stopped herself and covered her mouth with her hands.
“Speak, Violet, what do you want to say?” I asked.
“Are you sure?” she asked.
“Yes,” I responded.
“Please may I request that my punishment should be split? I have been serving a lot of punishment since yesterday” she appealed passionately.
“I would have added to your punishment for this, but since I was the one that requested you to speak, I will not. You know I hate it when I am been told what to do” I replied.
“And may I know what punishment you intend to give to your luna?” she inquired.
Hmm, I have not even thought about Scarlet and what her punishment would be. I have even almost forgotten about wanting to punish her. But now that Violet had mentioned it, I will think about the type that best suits her disobedience.
“The type that she deserves” I replied.
