What was that for? I smiled and asked cluelessly.
I really don’t know the reason why I’m smiling I should be angry at him for kissing me without my permission.
But with Meredith hiding over there I could do nothing but smile.
I know how mad she’d be by now.
“Don’t you think we should go back? It’s kinda late already and you need to sleep” He said sitting up.
“Oh, you’re definitely right. I’m feeling sleepy already”. I stood up as well both walked back into the castle.
I laid on my bed with the smile on my face and dozed off.
I was woken by the loud shout from the Alpha.
What happened? Why is he angry?
“I’m giving you all five minutes to get down here” he growled.
I washed my face and brushed my teeth as fast as I could and ran downstairs to find him standing.
His face so cold like an ice, I can literally see the rise and fall of his huge chest.
When everyone came out of their room and assembled, he began.
“I’m gonna ask this just once and I need an honest answer”. He paused and looked at everybody’s face before he continued.
“Who went into my chambers yesterday? I could see the anger clouded in his cold eyes.
Nobody said anything, just looking at themselves waiting for who would come out and confess.
But Anna’s eyes were on me with and evil display of smirk on her face at that instance I knew I wasn’t safe anymore.
“Who went into my chambers and took my pendant?” He asked. Hos body vibrating from the anger.
“Alpha king, good mor……”
“Go straight to the point” he growled at her.
“I saw Vanessa walking into your chambers yesterday” she made a little bow to stop herself from smiling. I could see her smiling like she won a trophy.
All eyes were averted to me. At that instance I just wish the ground would open and swallow me.
“No… i didn’t go into your room yesterday. As a matter of fact i don’t even know how the chamber looks like” I defended.
“You can check my room of you don’t believe me” I said.
I could see Anna smiling wide, at that instant I knew I’m busted.
She was the first to run into my room. Ransacking and turning everything upsidedown.
“Here it is” A young guy of about twenty one said handing the pendant to the Alpha.
“I… I… Didn’t… Steal th.. at. Pendant, i swear I never went into your chambers yesterday. Please believe me. I swear I didn’t steal it.
“If you didn’t steal it then how did it get to your room you criminal” The guy who saw the pendant barked.
“I saw you sneaking into the Alpha’s chamber yesterday. Don’t try to lie, cause I wasn’t the only one who saw you. Oliver saw you as well” she said pointing at the guy.
“When did you see her?” The Alpha finally asked.
“La.. st. N… ight Alpha king” she stuttered.
“Who saw her going into my chamber last night?” He asked again.
“We did Alpha king” Oliver said.
“How sure are you that she’s the person you saw?”
“Because we saw her” Anna defended.
“You all can leave” he dismissed everyone.
I couldn’t stop myself from crying. Why would I wanna steal a pendant? What do I need it for? Why are people so cruel? First she tried to kill me, now she framed me up.
“Nessa? He called in a tender voice.
Why does he always call me with that voice? He’s making me feel guilty like I’m betraying Romeo.
I ran away from home just to look for him.
“I know you didn’t do it” he stepped close, putting a hand on my shoulder.
“And I know something is wrong somewhere, but you are not helping matters. Why don’t you tell me what you know? We can fight this together” he assured. But i wanna fight my battle alone. I’m not a weakling.
“I will tell you when the time is right. But for now I need to teach my enemies some lesson” I smiled at him.
“Thanks for believing me” I engulfed him into a hug and he reciprocated like he has been waiting for this moment.
I could see the surprise In his eyes.
I guess I would be kicking some a**ess today.
“I will make an announcement of vindication so that the pack members won’t think you did it” he said before stepping out.
I gave a small nod before laying on my bed.
How long will this continue? But who as that Oliver of a guy? Why was he supporting Anna like he was there when I sneaked into the Alpha’s chamber like they said.
I was called downstairs for breakfast, I really don’t know if I should go or not.
I don’t want those disgusting stares from the people.
But I have to go, not like I stole the pendant like those devils said.
I need to prove them wrong.
I stepped out of my room and walked downstairs to the dinning.
Even the servants stopped to take a glances at me.
I thought I would be able to pull through this but I don’t think I can.
I turned to run back to my room, but a voice called me back.
“Don’t go, come here and have your breakfast” that voice I can’t refuse called me back and I have no option but to heed to his calling.
He cleared his throat before speaking.
“I wanna say something before we start eating” he stop and tool a breath in bed he continued.
“Vanessa here is innocent” I could hear murmuring from the people including the she devil Anna and her assistant Oliver and Meredith.
“Last night I and Vanessa took a tour around the castle and when we came back it was already late so I took her to her room and bade her goodnight before going into my chamber”.
“But Alp…”
“Let me talk” he cut her off.
“Anna and Oliver could you please stand up?” I could see her vibrating in her spot.
“By what time did you see her walking into my chamber?”
“I can’t recall Alpha king”
I was thinking he’d do something, but he did nothing.
“Don’t try that again cause the next time you do, I’m gonna cut off your head. Do I make myself clear?
“Yes Alpha” they both answered.
“Why didn’t you punish them for trying to frame me?” I asked with anger in my voice.
“Can we talk about this later?”
“Fine, but they should be punished so as to learn their lesson and never do it again”.
“Can we talk about this later? He asked again.
I looked up at Anna before answering “yes” to the Alpha’s question.
I didn’t finish my food before going upstairs, what I need right now is a cold shower to clear off my mind.
I tied my towel, ready to head to the bathroom when a knock on the door stopped me.
Another distraction, I don’t wanna talk to anyone right now.
“Who is there?
“It’s me, open the door please”.
“Did he just say please? Why does weird things keep happening?”.
