VIOLET’S POV
“Excuse me, Miss Violet, but the luna is not around,” a servant said to me.
“I am aware of that” I replied.
“And she will not be back until Monday and even the alpha is not in” he informed me.
“I know” I replied. “And I know my way around here” I added.
Feeling reluctant, he turned around and walked away.
At least now I am the luna’s friend and he would not want to get into any trouble with her if I should report that he was harassing me on my visit.
Poor Scarlet, so she did not give any instruction against my coming around in her absence. She is too trusting and that will be her undoing.
I am aware that Scarlet had gone on a weekend vacation with her friends, Lara and Rich. I wonder why she had not invited me though. However, I was not so sure if the alpha might have returned from his usual morning patrol by this time.
I have come for something very important and I must have to speak to the alpha about it. Finally, I have something to get Scarlet out of the way for good, and this time I am completely sure that it is going to be the stroll that breaks the camel’s back.
It was not easy getting these pieces of information against Jake’s precious little Scarlet, but now that I have it, I intend to utilize it for my good.
I walked inside the Packhouse amidst stares from the servant. But I do not care about their low selves because very soon I will be the luna, then I will be in control and then they will feel my wrath.
“Sh*t” I cursed under my breath as soon as I saw Tabitha making her way down the staircase.
“Good morning, Miss Violet” she greeted with a smile.
“Good morning, Tabitha” I returned her smile.
“I am sorry but the Luna had gone on a vacation and will only be back until Monday,” she said.
“Yes, Tabitha I know. Just that there is something very important that had brought me here and the luna would be glad that I took care of it right away” I lied.
Tabitha is a hard nut to crack, getting past her around here has never been easy especially since the event in the kitchen. I have to make my visit look very beneficial to the luna and I do hope that she did not ask further questions about it as I don’t have any to give right now.
“Oh really, may I know what it is about, Miss Violet?” she inquired.
I felt so hot instantly. Now how do I get past her with all these interrogations? I knew she was going to be this difficult and I had not prepared for her as I never knew that I would have to deal with her today.
“Sorry, Miss Violet, forgive my intrusion but the luna did not say that you will be coming,” she added.
She was patiently waiting for me to come up with an answer to her inquiry. Now I have to think of a way out of this very fast. This is the only chance that I get to get across to the alpha and if I should miss today, then before I know it, Scarlet’s shadow would be clustered everywhere.
“Hmm, I… I… she… sorry, the luna…” I stammered.
“Miss Violet” she called.
Oh no, this woman is not making this any easier for me. but not to worry, it will only last for a while and once this phase is over, I will make sure that I fully establish my authority, and then, my will would be imposed on them, each and every one of them.
“Hey, Miss Violet, you are here,” a voice called.
I was instantly relieved as I turned and saw Mia climbing up the stairs.
“Hey, Mia, it is such a great pleasure to see you on a morning such as this one” I responded.
I meant what I said, every bit of them. Now I have something that would distract Tabitha from me.
“Good morning, Tabitha” Mia greeted.
“Hey, Mia” Tabitha replied and turned back to me. “I am still waiting, Miss Violet,” she said almost immediately.
“Hey, Violet, why don’t you come to help me check the new orders that arrived for the luna? It arrived yesterday and since then I have been having difficulties in deciding which would be great for the occasion” she appealed.
“Oh yes. The luna informed me about that. I thought they were supposed to arrive today?” I replied.
God, this is the rescue that I was desperately praying for. Thank goodness, now I have something to take Tabitha out of my way.
“They arrived earlier” Mia replied.
“Oh really? And that is why I am here this early. I was hoping I would be here when the deliveries arrived so that we could do the selections together and return those that are not needed” I sighed. “But now I am late”
“Not to worry, Miss Violet, that would not be a problem. I will make sure I send the rest back as soon as we make the selections” Mia replied.
“That will be great. So can we get on with it?” I said with my eyes focused at the up of the stairs.
“Actually, Miss Violet, that would be downstairs” Mia replied.
Seeing that there is nothing to ask anymore, Tabitha said. “Take care, Miss Violet” Saying this, she walked down the stairs.
Now I have Tabitha out of the way and sincerely speaking, I am most grateful for it. But now, how do I get the chance to go upstairs and right to the chambers? I must do that now before the activities here get intense.
“Oh, okay” I murmured and remained where I was.
I was delaying to speak as I want Tabitha to be out of earshot.
“So can we?” she asked.
“You see I was just telling Tabitha that there is something urgent that the luna wants me to do upstairs. I was hoping that she would be grateful to help me out with it but it seems she has more important things to attend to” I said when I was sure that Tabitha is very far from us.
“Sure, that will not be a problem. Tell me about it and let me do it right away” Mia offered.
I acted as though I was considering her offer before responding. “No, Mia, I think I should handle this personally. Can you please remain here and wait for me? It will not take long and I don’t want to start looking around for you when I am done. You know how troublesome it gets wandering around the Packhouse”
“Are you sure you can handle this alone? I can come and assist you” she offered yet again.
“Believe me, it is not much. Just hold on” I replied.
She nodded in agreement and with a feeling of gratitude, I walked up the stairs.
When I arrived, I looked around to ascertain if the coast was clear and when I was sure that it was, I went straight to alpha’s suite.
I knocked on it twice and when I got no response, I dipped my hands into my handbag and brought out the letter with me. The letter is meant for the alpha and it says that he should meet me up by 2 pm in the Pack’s spring.
I flipped the letter under the door. I hope he sees it when he arrives. After doing this, I looked around and no one was watching. I smiled to myself and walked away.
Now I will have to go with Mia. My initial plan was to get this done with and get my ass out of here but now that Mia requires my assistance, it will raise some suspicion if I should just disappear without any reason. So reluctantly, I walked down the staircase, heading to go meet Mia.
