CHAPTER 5

1016 Words
BRIELLE At the hallway, I was mopping the floor as ordered by Argon. It was one of the hardest and stressful part of the mansion to be cleaned. He gave me the task to mop it and leave no stains behind, threatening to punish me if he discovered any dirt. The ground was decorated with brown tiles, leaving me wondering how he planned on telling if it was dirty or not. While cleaning, I heard the sound of laughter coming from behind. I stopped to see who it was, only to find Estelle and her father, Alpha Deron, stepping into the mansion. Alpha Deron, Alpha of Red Wood pack and a wealthy business man, had his daughter's arm crossed with his, as they chuckled while talking. "I am so happy for you, my princess. Finally you'll be with the man you always wanted, " He rejoiced with his daughter. Estelle blushed with joy, thanking her father for his words. "When are you two getting married?" "Dad, relax. You just can't wait, huh?" She giggled. "I'm just excited my dear. My daughter will be getting married to her true mate. I need the whole world to witness it with their own eyes," He expressed his joy, getting Estelle to laugh at him. The moment they both spotted me cleaning, their mood changed. They were disgusted. "Is that not the wolfless brat Argon said he was going to divorce?" Alpha Deron whispered to his daughter. "Yes, she's the one." "Why is she still here? I thought Argon sent her away?" They whispered to themselves, not knowing I could hear them. I acted like I was working. They were still talking. "She begged Argon to leave her for three months to fulfill the late Alpha's last wish. The brat. Now she's a servant, " Estelle chuckled. Alpha Deron chortled with his daughter, mocking me, " Useless woman. It's a good thing she lost that baby. Who knows the kind of problems she would have brought for you and your husband." "A good thing indeed," Estelle supported. Hearing what they said got me squeezing the mop stick tightly. I could feel Bane growling inside of me, desperate to come out. "Welcome!" Argon's voice came in, subduing my mood. I had to act like I didn't see him but kept on cleaning. "Welcome Alpha Deron. It's so nice to have you here." "Same thing, my soon to be son-in-law." They both shook hands with jolly. Argon escorts Estelle and Alpha Deron into his living room, after asserting his dominance over me first. "If I get back and see you're still here, you will be sorry," He sparked, showing off to Estelle's father. And it made the old man pleased. He even ordered for refreshments to serve his guest, which I obeyed. When I came into the living room with the juice, I met them laughing and talking about the wedding plans. "I hope my daughter will still have the time for her career? You know she's a super model, her fans would love to see her on the runway after she's married, " Alpha Deron asked Argon. He chuckled and assured Alpha Deron that he would allow Estelle to continue with her career. "She's a model. I can't take away her dream. She's loved by all, " He said, praising her. Estelle was blushing while burying herself in her father's hold. "That's great. I can't wait for you to get married to my daughter. When two great Alpha come together as one, the force is unstoppable." Both Alpha Deron and Argon laughed. Bringing their refreshments, I came closer to serve them. Just as I was about to offer Alpha Deron his juice, something tripped my leg, causing the whole juice to pour right on his body. The old man yelled out in anger, trying to wipe off the juice. I was shocked by this, looking at my leg to see what caused this. Only for me to spot Estelle's feet on the way. She had set her leg for me to trip. Her eyes shimmered with delight, getting into character quickly. "Father!" She cried out. "Alpha Deron!" Argon panicked, rising to his feet to help him out. But Alpha Deron didn't allow it. He slammed Argon's hands from touching him, yelling out, "All over me! Look at my body!" "Alpha Deron, I am so sorry," Argon kept apologizing. The old man's eyes fell on me, causing me to stare at him in fear. "It wasn't me. I didn't..." "Shut up, you shameless fool!" He sparked out, insulting me. I came all silent, lowering my eyes down. "I see no reason why you'd keep this woman here, Alpha Argon! How do you intend to keep my daughter happy with her around?!" He lashed out at Argon, leaving in anger. Estelle gave a fake cry, following her father from behind. "Alpha Deron, please!" Argon tried to follow them, but they left. Just then, he came storming into the living room and straight at me. "Argon, I didn't do anything. I ..." WHAM! His hand landed on my cheek with a heavy slap, sending me to the ground. The moment I fell face flat to the ground, I felt my eyes switch and my body shivering. My eyes fell on my hands, seeing my finger nails growing out long. "Is this why you chose to stay? You want to ruin my wedding before the actual day, huh?!" Argon roared. He kept yelling while I was trying to control Bane. She was mad and wanted to get out. "Let me out, Brielle!" "Bane," I groaned, struggling to hold her back. After a few struggles, I succeeded to keep her down. "Guards! " Argon called out. Two guards came in to answer his call. "Yes, Alpha?" "Take her to her room and lock her up. She won't be given any food or water until she learns her lesson. Take her out of my sight!" He passed his judgment on me. Without delaying, the guards pulled me from the ground and dragged me away like a criminal.
