On my way to the place in haste. I was stared at by a lot of pack members who were surprised to see me dressed like this since they all know I was made. What happened yesterday made me popular and it’s so annoying.
I tried to be unaffected by them but it was so difficult. I finally got to my destination where all my colleagues were waiting. I greeted those I pal with and some gave me a strange look. I mentally rolled my eyes at them.
” Why are you dressed like this?” One of them asked.
I wanted to answer back rudely but behaved myself ” My uniform was torn from yesterday”
“Oh,” she said in understanding
” yes”
” But you know you can request for new uniform right?”
Excuse me! Why can’t you all leave me alone, I wanted to say?
” Yes I know that’s why I’m here now,” I said as a matter of fact.
She noticed my annoyed reply so she didn’t say anything else which am very grateful for.
Some minutes later, the harsh lady came in looking disheveled as if she didn’t have a night’s sleep.
” I can see you all are here already,” she said as she scan each of our faces with her eyes. She paused when her eyes were set on me and I swallowed slightly.
My palm began to sweat from her firm look ” Why are you dressed like this?”
” I.. i. My uniform had a tear”
” Then why didn’t you come yesterday for a change of uniform?”
” I was not feeling too well,” I told her. Didn’t she know what I went through yesterday?
She scoffed ” So you think you can get the attention of guys in this pack by dressing like this? Don’t be a prostitute.”
Her words hurt like shit. How dare she call me a prostitute when I was never one and will never be one. My wolf was trying to take over. She was affected more by her words. I wish I could claw out her eyes which were staring at me in disgust.
” I’m not a prostitute,” I said firmly
She raised her brows ” are you talking back at me?”
” I’m not but please don’t call me a prostitute,” I said a little calmer now.
She stood face to face with me and stretched her lips into something that looks like a snarl ” As far as you are in this pack, you are nothing but a slave and I will say whatever I think of to you because you deserve it. ”
My palm form into a fist ready to punish her for what she said. It wouldn’t be bad trying my fighting skill on her, right?. I tilt my head to the side.
I don’t know where all the bravery was coming from. Since I stepped foot into this pack, I don’t know why I feel as if I have the authority to talk back at people. It’s even becoming more worst since I find out my mate was the kind. Could that be the reason? I thought.
” What is going on here?!”
A voice brought me out of my thought. I tilt my head to the side to see who it was and funny enough it was granny Joanne. She was staring at my raised hand which was glued to the air as if I was about to slap the harsh Lady.
” What are you trying to do Melissa?” She asked with wide eyes.
I gasped not knowing what came over me. I dropped my hand down shock to even say anything.
The harsh day was busy smirking ” I knew she was stubborn Joanne. The King must know about this ”
My hands trembled in fear ” I’m truly sorry ma’am, I don’t know what came over me. Please forgive me ” I went on my knees.
She stared at me in disgust ” you are nothing but a filthy wolf. You dare to raise your hand on me? You’ll be punished by the law” she said then walked away.
I tore down. I knew this was the beginning of my downfall, I brought this upon myself. Why was I behaving like a ruler? Please come to my rescue Oh mother of Blue Moon. Please help me out here. I prayed internally as the tears flow down my face freely.
A hand helped me up. I raised my head to see who it was and was surprised it was Granny Joanne ” Come, follow me ”
I got up not able to look at anyone’s face. I felt so ashamed of myself right now. What happened yesterday wasn’t even a day old and here is me committing another offense. I can’t wait for my punishment, note the sarcasm.

Granny Joanne took me to a private room. She locked the door as she came in last.
I was about to open my mouth and talk but she made me pause by raising her hands for me to stop.
” Did you know what you just did? You just signed your life sentence. Oh dear, what made you do such a thing?” She said in worry.
I sobbed ashamed of myself ” I’m sorry, please forgive me ”
She shook her head ” This is not the time for all this. By now she has already reported you to the lawmakers and I’m sure they are in the hunt for you”
I was trembling in fear ” I swear I don’t know what got into me. My wolf was so unhappy by her insult and then that happened ”
..
” What insult?” She asked.
” she was asked me why I was in these clothes on these clothes told her I didn’t have anything else to wear since my uniform was torn. She came at me calling me a prostitute, Saying I was trying to drag attention from men with my dressing. I was not happy with what she said same with my wolf. We hated to be called that word which then led to what we witness. I was out of control” I tried to explain
” Oh dear,” She felt bad. ” Madam Lydia should have known better not to call you that. We female wolf hate that name and she knew you’d react the way you did unless….” She trailed thoughtfully.
” Unless what?” I asked eager to know
She waved me off ” Don’t worry. Right now I don’t think I can help you out if the news reaches the lawmakers”
I wiped my tears” I don’t mind anymore. I’m tired of always being the weakling. Whatever wants to happen should happen. This won’t be my first punishment or even the last. I’m ready to be punished ” I said in determination.
Madam Joanne felt bad for me ” I wish I can help you right now. ”
I forced a smile ” you’ve done so much for me which I’m very grateful for. The incident in the kitchen just opened my eyes to how kind you were. You stayed by me until my heat was over. You are a mother figure and I’m highly grateful to you. ”
” Your kinds words made me want to cry,” she said ” I’m sorry I am not of help to you right now but I promise to talk to the king about it. I pray he listens to me ” she stated hopefully.
‘ Just tell the king already we are his mate, his Luna’ my wolf said in my head making me querk a little ‘ Stop it, Lisa. Stop interrupting me’
‘ But you know I’m right. What we did to madam Lydia was right, we have all the right to punish her and you know that ‘
‘ We won’t talk about this right now I said shutting all connections.
My attention went back to granny Joanne, see looks thoughtful like someone having a mind link then stared up at me with wide eyes ” They are coming ”
Suddenly we heard a loud knock on the door and I felt like pissing my pants. I didn’t know it was gonna be harder than I thought.
” Miss Melissa you are requested at the king’s Courtyard”
