CAMILLE’S POV :
I was so shocked from the slap I just received, I was trying to understand why and how I got slapped and what made her think she can just go about slapping people.
“I don’t remember asking you to speak” Luna Laila said after she had slapped me. I’ve had enough and then I gave her a dirty backhanded slap, giving her a cut on her lips. That should help with her brain.
“How dare you raise your hands on your Luna?” She touched her cut lips as she shouted.
“No no no , how dare you raise your hands at me?” I backfired, my eyes filling with rage.
“You will pay for this Camille, mark my words” she threatened as she stormed out of the room.
It felt good to finally give her a peace of me, face on. Just because I’ve taken all their rubbish, doesn’t mean I’m stupid. I’m just avoiding their problems until I find a way to leave this place.
I left the sitting room, going back to the library. On my way i met one of the maids, I completely ignored her because she was one of the people that loves calling me a thief after that incident with the Luna and her missing jewelry, something I know very well that I didn’t do.
“I see your going to the library, please be kind enough not to steal any book dear” she laughed as she passed me by. But no this got to end, I turned back so fast and grabbed her arms, hitting her on the wall as I grabbed her jaw.
“I didn’t steal anything and I’m sick of defending my self. If I hear one more word or you calling me a thief, I won’t hesitate to pull out your tongue” I growled out as she nodded her head quickly in fear.
“Now get out of here” I snarled as she ran out. Serves her right. I went back into the library to continue my reading.
ALPHA AIDEN’S POV :
I walked into my office and made my way to my desk. I sat down and pulled out a set of files that I needed to keep. I organized them neatly on my desk and began to review each one. As I read through each document, I made notes and marked important points.
I wanted to make sure that all of the information was up-to-date and accurate. After several hours of work, I was satisfied that the files were in order and I put them away in my filing cabinet for safekeeping. I leaned back in my chair and let out a deep sigh, content that my work for the day was done.
Relaxing, I thought back to the argument I and Camille had. That girl is becoming something else, she Better be careful not to piss me off like she did today, I won’t take it likely with her. I stood up and left the office, on my way to go out to get some fresh air and stretch a bit.
On my way out I heard two maids gossiping quietly, they didn’t know I was coming their way as they continued talking and then I heard something shocking. As soon as the girls noticed me, they decided to take off but I stopped them.
“Come back here this instant” I commanded as they stopped and came back, shivering, “repeat what you just said”.
The first girl then started pleading, “A-alpha it was a mistake I di….”.
“Shut it” I barked out as she quickly closed her mouthed, ” I said to repeat what you just said”.
“The um L-luna w-was the one who f-framed Camille” the second girl said as she stuttered.
“Who gave you the right to say such lies” I demanded of them.
“Alpha we aren’t lying, the Luna , she hid the Jewelry in Camille’s room, we don’t even know how she got into Camille’s room in the first place, a-and when we saw her by mistake she bribed us to keep our mouth shut” the first girl started explaining in fear.
“And she threatened us, so we didn’t say anything, but when we saw how Camille was whipped, we felt really bad and didn’t know what to do” the second girl said, bowing her head in shame. This was just unbelievable.
“We are so sorry Alpha, please have mercy on us” they apologized as tears rolled down their faces.
“You should be ashamed of yourselves, knowing the truth and keeping it to yourselves” I told them feeling disgusted. Seriously what is wrong with everyone this days, “just leave. You better pray I don’t think of a hard punishment for the both of you for this”. They quickly bowed their head and walked away with speed, not turning back.
I glanced at the clock on the mantelpiece and realized that there was still time to have this talk before dinner or anything else. I called out to one of the maids who was passing by in the corridor.
“You there, maid. Go and fetch the Luna, my mother, and Camille. Tell them to come and meet me in the sitting room immediately.”
The maid nodded and quickly set off on her task. I knew that she knew that I was not one to be kept waiting and I didn’t want to incur her wrath. I watched her hurry to the way to my room I guess to get the Luna first.
I waited for them to arrive, my heart racing with anticipation.
When the three of them arrived in the sitting room, I stood up from my chair and greeted them with a short smile.
“Welcome. Please, take a seat,” I said, gesturing to the chairs in the sitting room.
I could see the confusion on their faces, unsure of what I could possibly have to tell them. I took a deep breath and began to speak.
“I have called you here today to discuss a matter of great importance. I have some news to share with you and I want your honest opinions, I don’t need any lies.
I could see the questioning look in their eyes, waiting for me to continue.
“I heard something shocking today” I said calmly as I turned to look at Laila.
“Something about you framing Camille by putting the Lost jewelry in her room. Think wisely before you lie to me Laila, is this true?”.
