Chapter 33 33
Vivienne~~
I had turned the whole room into a mess, yet not satisfied. Why was he acting like I was nothing? Right from when he still stayed in my father's estate, I threw several signals so he would notice me, but to no avail.
Now that I had come into his palace, thinking that staying just in the same hallway with him would make it easier to get his attention, he was more in-depth with his so-called mate, who was indeed his rival. What matebond could make him act so selfish? I rejected my mate just because of him, and this was how he would treat me?
The doorbell rang continuously, and I walked closer and unlocked the door. One of the servants walked in and bowed to me. I had my father send them over when Levi wanted to assign more servants to me.
One mistake I would make was staying far from my father, as having the servants from our house would make it easier to communicate. “Why are you here? Was it done?” I asked the female, and she lowered her head, nodding slowly.
Better! I made sure that no one, not even Knox, would be able to trace her scent. Since she left the palace, it was better that I helped her meet her deceased family.
Before anyone could find her, she must have drowned herself to death.
I sniffed and walked back to the bed, where I climbed onto and curled myself together. “Leave! I want to be alone.” I ordered the servant who bowed and made her way out instantly.
At that moment, I felt a bit satisfied. My wolf was as greedy as I was. We didn't like our mate because he was a mere omega who was serving in our house, so we rejected him and sent him out. My father threatened to be sure he would lose his life if he ever disclosed that he was once my mate, because he too wanted me to be Luna by all means.
I didn't ever see my mum, as they said she died after my delivery, and my father had always sung in my ear how my mum wouldn't have agreed that I would become Knox's Luna, because she respected matebonds a lot.
At some point, although I missed having a mum figure in my life, I still thought her death was for my own good. I would have Knox, and Phoebe would join her family.
My father had been digging to find out the offense she and her family committed that led to being attacked by Alpha Knox, but he hadn't found out anything. Whatever it was would linger in Knox, and regardless of their matebond, he wouldn't mate with her.
I stayed indoors, all alone, since he left me like I was some piece of trash that he had picked up. Several hours passed without me leaving my room, and when I checked the time, it was evening, yet my chest was still heavy from how Knox had treated me this noon.
Maybe meeting him and talking it out would be better. I didn't want to speak to my father about it for now, since he had told me his agreement with Knox. But if it continued this way, I wouldn't be able to win this.
As I was climbing down from the bed, the doorbell rang once again, and the same female servant walked in, her face contorted.
I stood up, held my shoulders high so I did not look so enraged, “What is the matter?”
She raised her face a bit and responded, “Alpha king is back, but with her.”
“Her?” I asked, stepping forward. “As in, her dead body?”
She shook her head and got to her knees.
My fingers dug into my palm desperately. I almost forgot how to breathe with how my chest grew heavy as if it would explode. How was that possible? That river was deep enough to drown her.
“No way! Didn't you pay that mistress? Could she be the one who leaked her whereabouts to the alpha king?" I sounded so angry and scared at the time. The fear of the slave mistress leaking that I was the one behind this was one thing I hadn't thought of until now.
The servant shook her head, “I'm not sure it's the mistress's doing, because she was held down by the guards in her house. I'm thinking that the charm failed and the alpha king was able to trace her scent.”
I refused to believe that. My father's witch doctor was the greatest of all time and had never failed. Someone must have leaked our plan, and the most important thing was that we didn't get exposed.
“What do I do, my Lady? His majesty took her into his room just now, and he carried her so possessively…
“Shut up! Shut that crap! You all couldn't even do a good job, or she wouldn't have returned here.” I growled at her and went to sit on the bed again. I was just so confused as to what to do. “Find out who leaked it and bring the person to me, or better still, exchange something with them so they don't leak our secret.”
She quickly got to her feet and bowed to me, “Yes, my lady.”
I let out a heavy breath, yet didn't feel relieved. Just a few hours ago, I thought I had won this by getting her out of my way, and everything was a mess. I would have just been left to tame and seduce Knox if that bitch had been taken out of the way. She needed to join her family.
The worst was not knowing if I was sad or scared. Her survival made my belly twist into a knot, and recalling that someone must have known my plan and could reveal it, which would end all this hard work, was the worst thing to even remember.
‘How do I find out who leaked this attack? It can never be a stranger.’ I thought and rested my head on the bed's headrest. ‘And what can I do now to get rid of her? If Knox is all over her, then I should do something that would make him despise her regardless of their bond.’
After so much thought, I still couldn't come up with an exact idea on how to handle that alpha slave princess. I was a beta, but that didn't mean that the position of a luna didn't suit me.
—
That night, I lost my appetite to eat because the servants couldn't come up with anything positive or an idea on how to deal with Phoebe. I shifted the tray of meals to the side and decided to at least freshen up.
It was later on that my wolf suggested we go see Knox, hoping that he would be in his room all alone.
I left my room and headed to his. But I didn't expect to meet the worst tragedy of my life.
Standing at the doorpost, about to ring the bell, all I heard was the moan of a female in pleasure. Her tiny voice signified how her climax was nearer, and the fact that she begged for more caused my breath to catch in my throat.
I lost my strength and stepped backwards, my heart racing beyond control.
Has it reached this extent? Were they fucking themselves?
Since I came in here, I hadn't set foot in Knox’s room. But she was moaning for more of his còck in there.
I shook my head and stumbled backwards, returning to my room. If I stayed calm, I would be the loser. I grabbed my cell phone and quickly texted my dad.
At this point, I needed his help and couldn't do this alone. I might not survive it if Knox claims that female once again.
