694 Words
"Open this door right away, will you!".
A bang on my bedroom door and the sound of the commanding voice from outside my room jerked me out from my sleep.
I opened my eyes, initially confused about where I was at that moment. There was a Big Bang on my head that seems like it was tapping my memory away. As I sat confused in bed, trying to recall what happened and where I was, the bang came again.
gbiii! gbii!! gbii!!! gbiii!!! gbiii!!!
"Naomi, open this door this minute or you will have me to contend with this night! ".
My mother's voice at the other end of the door brought me back to real life. And I sprang up from my bed, and out of my confused state, and ran to the door and opened it.
"How dare you this ungrateful girl, how dare you leave the party when the party was not over yet?!". My mother yelled at me.
My mother's way of expressing anger and disappointment at someone or something is by yelling, and my late father had taught me to always be quiet, and calm whenever my mother is in that mood; she will come around when nobody is counter yelling with her, my father had said.
And so I kept quiet, and just watched my mother shout , and just prayed silently in my heart that she would just stop yelling for the sake of the banging I was still feeling in my head.
"Now can you tell me why you disobeyed me, and the Alpha's order by leaving the party half way, don't you want to get married?!". My mother asked, a little bit calmer, but I could still feel the anger in her voice.
"The party was not organised for me to get married mom, it was solely for the daughters of the Alphaking".
"The party was for every female member of this family".
"Which I am not one of them mom, I am just an orphan to them all! ". I said firmly, almost with yelling.
"How dare you call yourself an orphan when I, your mother, is standing right before you; have you lost your mind young lady?!". My mother said, with her eyes narrowed as she searches my face for to find the possible reason why I could use such word on myself.
"One of the guests from the Mill-mild City called me that. In his word, the Alphaking took me into his palace out of pity! ".i said that last phrase with a loud voice, more with a yell, as tears streamed down my cheeks. I stormed off to my bed, and flung myself into the bed and sobbed.
My mother was shocked, and for some seconds she stood frozen at that spot, and wondered why someone could call me that. Slowly, she walked up to me on the bed crying, and with an arm, held me by the shoulder and pets me.
"It's okay my baby, stop crying. You are not an orphan and you know it".
"But that is what they think if me, I was not supposed to be here in the first place". I sobbed.
"Nobody dares think such about you here Naomi, the Alpha loves you just the way he loves his daughters".
"Even Lucas thinks so mom, the other day he told me there is a secret hanging over my existence in this palace. Don't you think that could be what he meant by that? ".i asked, now fully turned and looking at my mother for full explanation.
Maybe there was an agreement between my mother and the Alpha before he could allow my mother bring me in to the palace as a member of the family, instead of a maidservant like every other captives becomes.
Maybe my mother agreed with the Alpha, 9years ago, that I be brought in in the guise of an orphan in need of a shelter, just so she can have me live close to her, and have the opportunity of raising me herself.
Maybe there was indeed, a secret hanging over my existence in the Royal Palace of Alphaking Herlbert
