ALPHA AIDEN’S POV :
I could see Laila’s breath hitch as she looked at all of us in the room. She had no choice now than to spit out everything.
“I, it’s true” she confessed quietly as she looked at the ground. My mother gasped and looked at her.
“How could you do that Laila?” My mother asked her in disappointment.
“I’m really sorry Ma but Camille gave me a reason too, she has been very disrespectful towards me and I did it to put her in place” Laila said as she looked at Camille, Camille just looked at Laila back but saying anything.
“You should have told someone, than lying and stirring up all those troubles Laila” I told her.
For the first time since the gathering, Camille spoke, “don’t you think I deserve an apology. I got whipped for what I didn’t commit, got called names and the only thing you could say was why didn’t she report me? Is that the only thing you could say” she asked me, disgust in her voice.
“Watch your tone with me Camille, your not that important”, I faced her , giving her a challenging look.
“You will apologise to your Luna for your behaviour to her Camille, now!” I ordered as she looked up at me in shock, for a moment I thought I saw a look of hurt on her face but it was no more there.
“I will do no such thing Alpha” Camille stood up as she looked at everyone in the room, “I have done nothing wrong. I apologise but I will not be sorry for what I didn’t do”.
“You see it there, the disrespect. She’s just a maid with no manners, didn’t your parents teach you how to behave?” Laila stood up as she hissed at Camille.
“With all due respect Luna, do not bring my parents into this. Because they were and still is far better than your parents whose sitting at their home, doing nothing” Camille said with venom lacing on her voice, the aim of striking a nerve.
“That’s enough, both of you!” my mum shouted as she looked at both Camille and Laila, I didn’t even know what had gotten into Camille.
“Camille go to your room now” my mum commanded as Camille stormed out.
“Are you just going to let her talk to me like that and leave Ma?” Laila questioned angrily. But my mum ignored her as she left the sitting room to go sit on the dining chair, awaiting dinner.
Then Laila looked at me, “Really Aiden?”.
“Drop it Laila, let it all end here” I told her, leaving no room for argument as I joined my mum in the dining room.
Dinner was found few minutes Later and Laila wasn’t here yet. I sent for her but the girl I sent, came back telling me Laila wasn’t hungry. Hmm.
I went back to the room and found Laila on the bed, her back to the door. I walked to her front as she closed her eyes, pretending to not notice I had come in.
“I know your not sleeping, why didn’t you come down for dinner even after I sent for you?” I asked her as she opened her eyes and sighed.
“I lost my appetite, my apologies” she stated softly.
“Okay if that’s what you want. You know where the kitchen is when you get hungry” I told her as she looked at me in surprise. What’s she expecting me to force her to eat? She must be mistaken. I’m not even in an elated mood right now.
“I have a conference to attend tomorrow, I’ll be flying out of the country” I informed Laila as she sat up asking, “when will you be back?”.
“In some days I suppose. Liam will be in charge while I’m gone, he will handle the pack duties, etc”.
“I see”, she said nodding her head.
“Can I come with you?” She asked suddenly, which caught me off guard. I wasn’t expecting that kind of question from her.
“No Laila I don’t think so” I answered politely.
“But maybe I could be of help or something too if I go with you” she pressed on.
“I said no Laila, stay back here” I told her firmly.
“But it will get boring here and I would love to go with you” she continued pushing, okay that’s it.
“Go out and see your friends, find something important to do for crying out loud woman!” I raised my voice as I left the room, slamming the door. Why don’t they just listen and obey.
As I left my room, I found myself going straight to Camille’s room.
CAMILLE’S POV :
I went back to my room very upset with everything. They can’t even apologise for the pain they caused me, it’s something that’s not hard. I just couldn’t hold back anymore, it wasn’t right. Staying inside, I slept off and when I woke up, I went to go eat something. Hopefully I could find something to eat.
Going back to my room, I entered inside and then locked it.
“Aaaaaaaaaaaah” I screamed at the figure in my bed, only for me to find out it was the Alpha. Oh moon Goddess I was so scared, didn’t expect anyone to be in here. He looked at me and started laughing, umm okayy.
“Alpha, is there anything you need?” I asked him softly, as his laugh started to die down.
“You of course. Come here” he said, patting the bed,”you seem to have lots of courage lately, to talk back at me”.
I just kept quiet as he spoke, going to meet him. “I’ll be going away for a few days and of course I’ll miss your body, so this is like a parting gift. What do you say?”.
“Alpha” I protested as he shushed me, “sshhhh” he said.
“Submit”, he’s Alpha voice had a strong hold on me at that moment, I had to submit and I didn’t want too but I had no choice. I tried fighting it but it was no use.
“Submit to your Alpha Camille” he commanded as he stepped close to me, taking off my clothes”.
