ALPHA TYSON
CHAPTER 9
ZENEVIEVA
I didn't wait for anyone to tell me to march forward and join the maids in cleaning up.
We were all sweeping the large terrace of the palace but the stares I'm receiving from these maids weren't adding up to anything.
I ignored them and focused on my job, they continued to stare and bulge their eyes out as if I'm a kind of curse that might Infect them.
A maid carelessly swept and kicked sand in my eyes, qiy the dust swirling in the air that made me coughed out loudly
I dropped the brush and there was no iota of apology from this silly girl.
She pretended to be more busy as she swayed her hips past me and swept further giggling with the others.
My knuckles cracked, my fingers curled Into a tight fist and I felt a grinding in my teeth that made my body tremble.
How dare she?? I walked after her and Yankee her clothes backwards making her stagger.
"You kicked some sand into my eye while sweeping, it wasn't something inevitable right?"
She hissed long and hard and continued sweeping.
I smiled and turned back as if I was leaving but returned with a fierce kick that sent heavy dust and sand on her.
She let out a shrill scream that echoed and got the attention of everyone.
"What's wrong with you!" She yelled but I ignored picking up my brush to continue sweeping.
No one was willing to hear what happened, what she did or what prompted me to react that way but everyone supported her and started calling me names.
I gasped.
"When she attacked me first, none of you said anything! Y'all acted like an enclosed pit. Now I suddenly turned to the worst because I did the same right?
"Oh just shut up, you useless rogue! You think you've got balls just because you're being tagged as the king's mate huh? You're no different from a prostitute begging for attention!" She fired heavily at me and I dropped the brush.
"What will you do huh, if you truly belong to the throne as claimed why will you bend so low to sweep with maids like us or are you just a side chick mate or side rogue or gamma?"
Another chirped in and they all burst out laughing.
"Continue…until she beats you all to a pulp. She recently kicked the Prince's ass and slapped his lover in a heated argument.
I'm done here!" One of them said and stared at me with hatred before leaving.
My body was vibrating in anger as I stared at these three whose aim was to rant rubbish at me.
"How dare you all?"
I asked calmly and coldly but they chuckled.
"Not even the Prince can stand you, I just wonder why you're allowed in this pack!!
You get to see the Prince, the Princess, the King, and even the Queen!!"
"Exactly!! No wonder the princess requested scissors to piece her wedding clothes. She just appeared from nowhere and started causing havoc."
"The princess tore my clothes?" I smirked at her as realisatiom just my brain with horror leaving my voice.
"What will you…"
I gave her a heavy punch to shut the hell up and the whole place became quiet.
"I'm asking again, did the Alpha's sister tear my clothes?"
They all became mute and I flared.
I picked up two brushes from the floor and used them on their cheeks, slapping them.
The one on the floor got up to hit me in the back and I gave her a fierce kick making sure to break her bone.
I was so pissed that I badly wanted to use a tree trunk on them.
Collette should better not cross paths with me or else, it will not end well.
"That's enough Zenevieva!"
I turned my direction to the voice and met with the chief maid.
I rolled my eyes.
"Am I going to the dungeon already? I should at least break more bones to make my stay worthwhile" I said Haughtily, loving the look of disdain in her eyes.
"You can't skip breakfast, your coronation and wedding ceremony is lurking around."
She said and I scoffed.
"It's too early for expensive jokes! I'm already tired of these scumbags."
"If you are going to skip your meal then tell me on time so that I can give it to those in the dungeon."
Well, she looked serious. Maybe she was given an order.
"Fine, let's go."
I said and followed her to the kitchen, everyone was already present, eating their meal and I sat down for mine, ignoring the stares as usual.
"You look pretty…and famous." An unfamiliar voice said and I turned to my side to face the girl that said so.
"T.. thanks," I said not to trust her a bit. That was the first time someone had ever complimented me sincerely.
"I was captured yesterday from the pack…I got lost."
"I'm sorry about that." I pressed my lips feeling sorry for her.
"You're the Alpha's mate right?"
I rolled my eyes.
"I know right? I'm famous!" We both chuckled and my meal was presented before.
A mouth-watering fried steak chicken with pasta.
My mouth watered instantly.
"You're quite the Prince's favorite." She winked and I scoffed.
I took my spoon to dig into the meal before me.
This is a rare meal so I must savor it with anything in me.
A loud bang distracted us all and we all turned at once.
A little girl was so bloodied and beaten to a pulp but she still knelt and begged.
"Please…just spare me some water?"
"Get out!" The guards yelled at her and she ran around kicking and falling down meals to escape fierce whips from the guards.
"I didn't kill them! Please don't kill me."
She pleaded and a heavy blow landed on her lips.
My heart clenched.
"That's enough!! Can't you see she's just a little girl?"
I yelled.
"That's none of your business. She's a witch and killed her parents with her powers."
I gasped.
"Don't touch her or I will report to the king that you harassed the future Luna of the Mudville Pack and you surely don't want to know the consequences that come with such an offense!"
I yelled and they gritted their teeth and left.
I turned to the girl who already made a mess everywhere by running around.
She should be in her teens, with long red hair that covered her face and bruised heavy lips that hid her beauty.
I carried my food and water towards her and made sure she sat well on the table to eat.
"Thank you!" She broke down crying and I urged her to eat quickly.
She dug into the meal and ate mannerlessly but I was glad that she finally ate something.
Everyone watched, while others sneered at me.
The girl beside me just shrugged and concentrated on her meal.
I stood up and was about to leave when she gave a terrible cough.
I gave her water but she sputtered it away, coughing severely which made me.
Some particles of food left her mouth with blood and I gasped.
She clutched her stomach, screaming in pain and I froze, watching her struggle for breath before my very eyes.
