The next day came, and it was already the full moon party. Many Alphas came with their Lunas and other important members of their pack like the Beta and Gamma.
Jason’s Beta and Gamma were present too, but he was the only one without a Luna. Alpha Milo walked in holding his beloved Luna Christine. They both kissed passionately as they entered, and everyone there cheered happily. Those two were so in love with each other.
“Boy! You need to get a Luna real quick, you are missing out on countless things,” Jason heard beta Justin in his mind as Justin spoke through a mind link.
“For real, bro, you are supposed to have given birth to one kid at this age. You really need a Luna,” Gamma Jeff chipped in.
“It’s not yet late for me. I’ll find my mate,” Jason replied to them, still through the mind link.
“You are still hung up on that fairy girl, right? Seems you want to get married when you are old. Late marriage is no more trendy.” Justin said.
Justin, Jeff, and Jason have been friends since childhood. Jason was the Alpha while Justin and Jeff were the Beta and Gamma respectfully. Those two were the only ones who could talk to him casually. Actually, they used to be four until the fourth person betrayed him by sleeping with Roselyn.
“Also, I really feel you were hallucinating the day you say you saw that fairy. Fairies don’t exist, wake up man!,” Justin added again
Jason heard Everest (His wolf) growl angrily in his head. Everest wiggled it tail in anger.
“The Jacinta you see is better than the imaginary fairy you don’t know,” Jeff added.
“Enough!” Jason said with his authoritative Alpha voice, and they all disconnected from the mind link.

So far everything was going on well, they were given a four-course meal by the maids instead of a buffet. Jacinta was there looking and making sure everything was okay and if the maids were doing well.
Jacinta only just came in. She has been away since morning. Jason had earlier informed the maids that Jacinta was the one to supervise them for the next four days and any day she missed out on her duty, they were to report to him.
But Jacinta, being smart, gave the head chef money to make up for her absence, of which the head chef happily collected. The head Chef also shared the money with the other kitchen maids because if any of them spill what happened, she’ll be dead. But, one of the maids rejected the money and the head chef quickly ran to inform Jacinta, but she didn’t find Jacinta.
*** A few hours later***
Jacinta smiled warmly and greeted the guests that were present. They all admired Jacinta’s body features and wondered why Jason hadn’t mated with her yet. She was beautiful, she had a pointed nose, her slender figure and waist like that of a model.
Jason was impressed when he saw how serious Jacinta was with her job. He initially thought she was going to defy his order and he also had something terrible planned out for her if she did, but seeing how she was seriously carrying out her duty, he was impressed.
“See how admiringly Jacinta is staring at you, bro, are you really not going to give her a chance?” Jeff spoke once again through the mind link when he spotted Jacinta staring intensely at Jason with a dreamy look on her face.
Jason looked up, and his eyes locked with hers. Jacinta smiled brightly at Jason. All those who were present saw how bright the smile she gave to Jason was, and they instantly knew she was so into the Alpha. The head chef came in and whispered something to Jacinta, her smile faded immediately and she walked away.
Everest hissed angrily as Jacinta walked away. Jason always knew his wolf never liked Jacinta; the dislike his wolf had for Jacinta was something he couldn’t understand. It was much more than his dislike for her.
“Bang!” The crashing sound of plates was heard, forcing everyone present to look towards the direction of the kitchen.
“What do you think might be going on in there?” Justin and Jeff simultaneously asked using the mind link. Jason gave both of them an evil gaze and they both disconnected and composed themselves.
****
Jason has never looked at her as long as he was doing right now. Jacinta felt so happy and excited that she couldn’t help but smile. She could sense that he was impressed from the look he gave her. Maybe he was starting to like her.
Jacinta saw the head chef coming in and wondered what she was coming to do. The head chef and her girls had just finished serving the food, so why was she back?
The chef immediately whispered something into her ears and her beautiful smile faded. Who was that fool that was proving stubborn? She immediately left for the kitchen.
“Who is that wretched fool?” Jacinta angrily stormed into the kitchen, startling everyone in the kitchen.
“That one over there,” The head chef pointed to the maid that refused to accept the money. Jacinta gave the maid a very hot slap, and the plates the maid held crashed to the floor.
Jacinta walked around the maid, keenly scrutinizing her. This maid looked strangely familiar, but she couldn’t place it. What even gave this stinky maid the audacity to reject her money? She was very sure the maid had never touched that amount of money in her entire life.
“Why didn’t you accept the money, slave?” Jacinta spat, but the maid remained silent, with her already red face facing the ground.
“I am talking to you! Are you deaf?” Jacinta yelled exasperated. Jacinta felt disrespected by the maid, how could an ordinary maid like her ignore her when she talked?
Jacinta growled at the maid and the maid flinched.
“I ju… st didn’t feel like taking it,” The maid stuttered, she was already getting scared. Her pregnancy made her feel weak, and she couldn’t get involved in a fight with Jacinta if Jacinta decided to turn into her wolf form. Aside that, Jacinta seemed to be stronger than her. But regardless of what Jacinta said, she was never going to accept that money. If her colleagues were so desperate for money, she wasn’t. She would never be a slave to money; her integrity can never be bought.
“Shut that shitty hole you call a mouth! Now, you’ll take the money and keep silent forever,” Jacinta ordered with finality.
“I’ll report you to the Alpha,” The maid spoke now with all boldness, staring at Jacinta eye to eye. Jacinta was taken aback, but before she could react,
“Report what to me?” Jacinta heard a masculine, cold voice that sent chills down her spine.
****
Jason decided to come check the cause of the plate crash he heard. However, just before the door post of the kitchen, he could hear Jacinta’s voice yelling, but he couldn’t make out what she was saying.
Immediately Jason got to the door post, he heard someone voice that sounded like this of a maid say,
“I’ll report you to the Alpha!”
Report? What does that even mean? Who was she going to report to him? What was she going to report to him?
“Report what to me?” Jason asked, everywhere suddenly fell silent and Jacinta, who was backing him, stood motionless.
