HER

— Alphas are like that… Alpha Freyr wouldn't let Luna Rebeca walk, carrying her everywhere, until she lost her patience and yelled that she wanted to go to the bathroom alone.

— Oh, Goddess! — I couldn't help but laugh, imagining the situation. — And you, are you too busy to accompany your Luna on a walk?

— I was going to get the clothes to wash…

— What clothes? — I asked curiously. — We have members who work in the communal laundry and are paid for it, and if he wanted to wash his own clothes, where would he be getting them?

— The clothes of the harem females, they told me it was my function to wash them. — He replied, smiling.

I had a terrible impression of this, his innocent look made me feel even worse.

— Can I go with you?

— Of course, Luna, if you don't find it boring.

— Tell me something, what function did they assign to your sister?

— Ah, Ingrid doesn't like washing clothes, so she was assigned to clean the room and serve one of the females.

— What did Gamma Astor think of that?

— Ah… Luna, he doesn't know. For him, we wouldn't do anything, but we want to be useful, staying idle all day is boring.

— That's right, where are we going to get the clothes?

— Right there, in the female's room. She was very generous, she said that since we take care of her things, we don't need to take care of anyone else.

I accompanied him to the harem dormitories, and he knocked on the very door I suspected.

A voice shouted from inside:

— Finally you're here, omega, I thought you were already being lazy and—

The door opened and Vivi fell silent when she saw me.

— Lu-Luna Nadja, what are you doing here?

— I came to accompany the Gamma's mate on his "task", Vivi, do you have anything to say about that?

Her eyes widened, her face so red, I would have sworn she was on the verge of an attack.

— Luna, I…

— I don't recall authorizing you to assign tasks to anyone, female!

— No… It's not that, Luna, the omega offered to work!

— He should have been brought to me, so I could allocate him to pack tasks, but you thought it was a good idea to make my gammas your servants?

Solveig was intelligent, he understood what Vivi was doing and looked at her, confused and disappointed.

— They are just omegas! — Embarrassment gave way to petulance. — Weak and useless, they should feel honored that I let them touch what is mine! Solveig's shoulders slumped, and he lowered his head, ashamed.

— What do you think Gamma Astor will do when he finds out you're humiliating his companions, Vivi?

— Maybe he'll open his eyes, recognize the mistake he made by marking these aberrations, and come back to me on his knees?

Her face turned with the slap. My hand burned with the force I used to hit her face, hoping that a little discernment would return to that brain.

Solveig's eyes widened in surprise at my action. This time, it wasn't my wolf taking over; I was very irritated.

— Never refer to them with that word again!

— You can't hit me! — She screamed and raised her hand to strike me.

Solveig jumped in front of me and took the slap she intended for me. The white skin of his face had a large red mark. When she saw that it was the omega who took the slap and not me, Vivi smiled with satisfaction and attacked him once more, out of control, screaming and striking wildly while he tried to hold her hands.

All of this happened very quickly, just a few seconds since we arrived, and soon several of my gammas appeared running, their silver eyes sensing that the Luna was being threatened.

Gamma Astor was one of them.

While two gammas pulled me away from her, Astor hugged Solveig and held his face in his hands. A storm formed in his gaze when he noticed the marks of violence.

He turned towards Vivi and slapped her with the back of his hand. She fell to a sitting position, one hand on the affected area, and a horrified look at the male she had recently called her boyfriend.

— Astor?

He looked at her with contempt.

— Take this female to prison, to cool her head!

— It's me, my love, you can't do this to me!

Solveig looked for me and tried to get out of Astor's arms.

— I'm not 'your love,' female! You threatened our Luna and attacked my companion!

— It's their fault we're not together! But it doesn't have to be this way, I still love you, I don't care if you have to mark these omegas, as long as you still love me, they are nothing!
— Viviane, we had good times, but we can't be together anymore, don't spoil those memories!

I could see the pain in Solveig's eyes, as he finally understood who Vivi was in that equation. Astor should have told the twins about his involvement with Vivi before; now, Solveig discovered everything in the worst way.

— Of course we still can! I don't mind if you mount this omega sometimes, and the female can be our breeder!

— Never refer to my companions that way! You, more than anyone, know the value of connection! You had yours, you know what you felt!

—  He's dead, you're my male now, you promised! And I'm pregnant!

Solveig fainted in Astor's arms, and I ran to hold him. The gamma was paralyzed by what he had just heard.

— You heard Astor, take this female to one of the cells to cool her head!" I ordered, and she was taken away screaming.

— Luna... I...

— Take your male home, gamma, you have a lot to talk about, I'll take care of Vivi
