Moon-Bound to Three

Chapter 4: You common maid

CHAPTER 4: YOU COMMON MAID

Suddenly, I felt Laura trying to take control. I growled softly, trying to resist her from taking full control. My fingers lengthened too but Tina wasn't the least moved by it; as she bore her fangs at me.

Just then, Laura took over, scratched Ma Tina on the face. And pushed her away from me. I growled at her and grabbed her by the neck. The side of her face was bleeding but Laura cared less.

On seeing that I had lost control, Ma Tina scoffed and dipped her fingers in my abdomen. Shrieking, I quickly released her from my grip and fell flat , as my fingers went back to normal.

“Why?” I asked weakly, while gazing at her with teary eyes.

“You’re an Omega afterall. A weak one at that!” She fumed.

Her words stung. “Is this what you came to tell me?” my voice nearly a whisper.

With her hands crossed on her chest, she began. “I have two reasons for coming.” She squatted and grabbed my face strongly, “Firstly, I came to remind you that you’re Evie Blaise, a weak omega and the pack’s maid.”

As her word’s pierced through my ears, my tears flowed freely as I sobbed sadly. It was just too much to bear. She held my jaw even tighter, “Secondly, tonight is the pack’s mating ceremony, and do you know what maids do?.... They serve those stronger, powerful and higher than them. That’s what is required of you. Oh, so much blood would flow if you mess things up tonight.”

With that, she forcefully tossed me away from her hold and banged the door behind her. As my head landed on the tiles, a splitting migraine enveloped me.

I was too weak to move, hence, I lay there, crying. How dare she do this to you? Why did you resist me? I’d have had enough time to snap her neck. Why are you so weak, Evie?

I lay there, with no reply for Laura, but hoping that my wound would heal before nighttime. With nothing else to do, I drifted off to sleep, and woke up due to a loud wolf howl that signified the appearance of the blood moon.

Slowly, I ran my hands through my belly and I was glad to see that my wound had healed. I quickly ate my lunch of bread and bacon, before heading to the bathroom.

AT THE MATING CEREMONY HALL…..

The other maids held their trays filled with drinks and headed into the hall. Ma Tina gawked at me as she pointed towards the front. . I took my tray of ten filled glass cups and headed to serve the people at the front. The hall was decorated with beautiful gold linens, and golden decorative chains were placed from end to end.

The golden chandelier was the highlight. It shone brightly, illuminating the hall and giving everywhere a sparkling effect. Now, this mating ceremony was already looking like it’d be better than the previous ones.

I got to the first row, and was handing out a drink when something shook me, causing me to fall with the glasses, shattered on the ground. I stood up immediately and started picking the shards, as my heart raced.

“Evie?” I looked up to where the snarly voice emanated from and got nothing but a resounding slap on my face; creating a cut on the side of my lip. Blubbering, I picked the shards and ignored the low voices from the people seated on the table before me.

Paying no attention to them and Ma Tina, I picked up the tray, looked up and caught a brown-haired man, gawking at me. Quickly, I glued my eyes to the floor and ran off to save face. On getting to the kitchen, my tears flowed uncontrollably but it was better to cry in the safety of my room. At that moment, I heard her snarly voice behind me.

“You clumsy fool! Take the second tray and serve the drinks to those on the stage. Don’t try to mess things up for me, or you’ll be hurt so bad.”

As she shut the door behind her, I wiped my tears and picked the tray next to me. Wearing a smile, I ignored the low chattering from the crowd and headed to the high table. I felt a lump form in my throat, the moment I saw Serena; all radiant in a beautiful fish sky blue gown, sitting elegantly with the triplets.

The triplets?

Startled, I stopped in my tracks, the moment my gaze fell on Arthur. Never in my wildest dreams, did I imagine that he’d be one of the triplets. Now, I finally understood why I couldn’t catch his scent. The old books in the library, had blocked his scent.

Or could he have blocked it? Ignoring my thoughts, I headed to their table and served Serena who looked like she was about to do something traumatizing to me. I placed Arthur’s drink on the table and suddenly felt a shock.

I retreated a bit as the word struck me, “MATE”. I looked up as my gaze landed on the brown-haired man from earlier. He glared at me, showing nothing but hatred. Arthur's eye's pried me, curious, as though he had plenty questions.

And the last one with the chest-nut hair, gawked at me too. His eyes, screaming for possession.

Wait, oh no. I took a step back, wondering what was actually happening. All of a sudden, Serena stood up and looked at the triplets. Their gaze fixated on no one else but me. With a reddened face, she picked a glass and squashed it with her hands. At once she approached me and slapped me in the face.

I lost my balance and fell down. Not again, Moon-goddess.

“How dare you try to seduce the triplets? You common maid!” Serena yelled, her voice laced with disgust.

Chattering from the crowd increased.

“This is the maid who broke the glasses.”

“When did she get there?”

“Could she be the mate to the cursed triplets?”

“How can a weak Omega be mated to the Alpha’s?” “Serena should be the mate and not her?”

Cursed Alpha’s? Low omega and the Beta’s daughter? What was really going on? Moon-goddess, how could I be mated to the three of them at the same time? What if they publicly reject me right now? No. I need to run. To run from them, Serena and the pack’s people.

I slowly stood up but was suddenly apprehended by two guards.

“Until the moon decides their fate”

That was the last thing I heard until…….
