MALIA’S POV
“What, did you just say?” With each word she pronounced, she moved a step closer to me until she was right in front of me.
“You heard me right. I said you get the hell out of my room if you do not have anything reasonable to say to me. It’s too early for your bullshit” I hissed, refraining from batting my eyelids as I speak so she would know just how serious I was.
Before I realized it, she raised her hand, fast toward my face. Her hand moved fast but I was faster, catching her midair.
“You wouldn’t dare” I held her hand before it could touch my face. There is always a certain level of respect I can take.
“Just because you are a Luna or whatever, doesn’t give you the right to raise your hand and attempt to slap me, I will not allow that. And if you think you have every right to do that then I have every right to retaliate, and that too, even harder. I wouldn’t even wait for you to drop your hand” I looked at her dead in the eyes while speaking.
To say she was shocked would be an understatement. She made sure to look at every part of the room to see if there was someone else I was speaking to cause she couldn’t believe my words were directed at her.
“You?” She exclaimed, her voice dripping with venom. “You dare to come into my territory and think you can challenge me?”
“The last time I checked, this isn’t your territory. Relax until you are pronounced Luna to make that claim but for now, you are like every other person here. So cease with the bullshit” I still held her hand firmly as I spoke.
“You are going to regret this. I assure you with every fiber of my being that you are going to regret ever saying this to me. You are going to regret setting your foot in this pack” She pulled her hand away and pointed a finger directly to my eyes but that didn’t cause me to blink.
“I await your actions, Luna dearest. Not everyone is a weakling. Some of us are bone ready to defend ourselves even from the deadliest of beings and when I look at you, I don’t see even half a threat” I had to admit that to her out loud because that was the truth.
“You…. you bitch” She frustratedly yelled but dared not touch me.
I arched my brows at her genuinely, “No, intending Luna, not everyone is a female dog like you?”
“Just wait, I will show you to what extent my power can stretched”
“If it is that wide, you can shove it down your ass” I smiled.
She opened her mouth to speak but nothing came out so instead she stamped her feet and stormed out of the room, not forgetting to bang the door behind her.
Now that I was left alone, I could finally face the repercussions of what I had just done. She is going to meet her Alpha and whatever punishment they were going to inflict on me, I have no idea. At least let them do that while I have freshened up.
With that thought in mind, I footed into the adjoining bathroom and stripped out of my pajamas before dipping my form into the fuzzy warm water in the tub. Just what my bones needed in the early hours of the morning. I felt myself relaxing, all the unwanted energy fading away.
But apparently, the whole universe vowed to be against me today cause the moment I started to relax, I heard a knock from outside the room.
Cursing under my breath, I stepped out of the tub, wrapped myself around a towel, and footed out of the bathroom.
“Coming” I yelled at whosoever was outside the door and hurriedly slipped a simple-looking gown over my head. I ran a brush through my tangled wet hair a couple of times before stalking toward the door.
I opened the door to a guard who was patiently waiting for me. He greeted me and passed the information he had been sent to deliver.
Apparently, Luna dearest had reported me to her Alpha or something, cause he was seeking my presence in his throne room right away. I never even knew they had a throne room.
“Let me get a shoe on so you will direct me around, I will spend days trying to locate the throne room if I was on my own” I uttered and he nodded.
In a haste, I clad my feet in a shoe and walked out of the room following behind the guard to another part of the palace that I have never set my foot in.
We arrived at the throne room in a couple of minutes and the guard bowed and left me at the door. Bracing myself for whatever was to come, I pushed the door and walked in, forgetting completely that I was supposed to knock.
I met them in a very awkward position that I better not explain, I had to clear my throat for them to notice my presence and when they did, he pushed her away gently and focused on getting himself covered.
I cleared my throat again awkwardly and made the decision of stepping out only to be stopped by him.
“There won’t be any need for that, move further in, we got a lot to discuss about” He cleared his throat and rose from his throne seat, his crown hanging loosely on his head.
“What do you say she did?” He asked his plaything who was immediately by his side linking her arm with his. I nearly gagged at the sight of that.
“Relax girl, no one is going to take your bipolar man” Saying that out loud would have caused me a lot of crisis so I opted to just leave it in my head.
And waited for her to begin her explanation.
