Aurelia's POV

Aurelia's POV

Staring at her now, just sitting on the counter and sipping a glass of juice, I could not help but feel the same awe I felt for her the first day we met.

She was not only sweet but also beautiful.

I remember when she found her mate. Every guy in the pack seemed to be jealous and sad.

As the pack warrior pushed me into the kitchen, she slowly looked up, her eyes furrowing in question.

" Who is the girl" the chef asked, pointing a spatula at me.

" Just some filthy rouge found on the borders. Alpha asked that she be given some real work to do, and she is also assigned to work with the Luna. So take her to the Luna and put her to work immediately. She should at least work to earn her keep" he said, sneering as he pushed me into the kitchen and left.

I balled my fists, my hands itching to bury itself in his throat and watch him choke on his tongue.

Evelyn dropped her glass of juice, walking towards me.

" Hi, I'm Evelyn. Pay no heed to the pack warrior, he is very grumpy. And that is Greta, the pack chef. I would take you to our Luna." She said.

I nodded, waiting for her to lead the way even though I knew practically every corner of the pack house.

" Won't you tell me your name?" She asked with a small smile.

" Au... Aurora" I said, quick to keep my mouth shut about my real name.

" Oh hi, that's a nice name. Come along now, let me show you to her chambers" she said.

As we walked away from the kitchen, she leaned in.

" You should be careful with our Luna. No one really likes her in the pack. After our alpha Mate left, he went into a fit to find her but couldn't, so he picked his personal slut to become the Luna. And I can tell you that she is definitely not fit to be Luna. I'm so sure she would be the downfall of this pack. But the alpha doesn't want to hear the truth even though everyone speaks it" she said, filling me in slowly.

I nodded, pretending to not have the slightest idea who the alpha Mate was and who the pack slut was.

The pack slut was lina. If I was not mistaken, she had been with alpha alder for as long as I could remember.

She was always hanging around him then, claiming to be his mate and going about bossing people around.

She never hit me, thankfully.

But her insults were more painful than any whipping.

She made it a point to insult me, my parents and basically anything she saw I cared about.

I tried to avoid her like a plague then, but now, it seemed unavoidable. I would have to talk and communicate with her, whether I wanted to or not.

As I entered the room, I could not help but marvel at the sheer size of it.

Although I knew I had cleaned every room in the whole pack house, and no room was ever as large as this.

It was then it dawned on me that she had joined two rooms together to make one gigantic room for herself.

What kind of dictator was she? Well probably the type that suits someone like alder anyways.

She laid on the bed, a magazine in hand as a maid stood nearby, feeding her grapes.

" Good evening Luna" Evelyn said, bowing a little.

She looked up, like we were some sort of flies or disturbance, stopping her from enjoying her evening.

" What do you want again Evelyn? Here to disobey your Luna again? I see the beatings were not enough" she said sneering at her.

I saw Evelyn visibly tense up as she balled her fists.

Beatings? Did she order then to whip her? So many things seemed to have changed for the worse since I left.

The pack itself was sickening. Being in it longer made me feel disgusted. I nearly picked up the phone to call Dorian and have him come pick me up but I restrained myself.

" No Luna, I just brought your new maid. The alpha said you were short in maids even though you already have twelve maids attending to you alone" Evelyn said, smiling through her gritted teeth.

" Oh yes I did ask for a new maid. One of my maids died sadly, I had no idea she couldn't hold her breathe that long underwater. Like how is she even a werewolf. Just looks like the moon goddess makes pathetic excuses." She said so casually like the murder of a person meant nothing to her.

It was probably then that it dawned on me. Just what precisely I had gotten myself into.

" Um okay... This is Aurora, and she would be your new maid" Evelyn said.

She flashed me a look of pity, probably sympathizing with me for throwing me face first into the lion's den.

She finally looked up from the magazine, waving the grape girl away.

She looked me up and down, her eyes holding a demeaning stare.

" I don't like how pretty she is. She can't work in this house if she looks that pretty. I hate her eyes too. Why does she have so much hate behind them? What is she? A demon? Cut off her hair, preferably shoulder length. Then dye it black. Straighten it out. Take her out of those hideous clothes and give her a maid dress. Then bring her back. Chop chop." She said.

I was shocked. My mind barely able to process what she just said.

Chop off my hair? But why?

As Evelyn led me out, she whispered what her eyes were desperately trying to to tell me when we were both in there.

" I'm so sorry." She finally said out.
