HER HEART MY TREASURE

CHAPTER 3 TURNING POINT

SOFIA’s POV

“We have to destroy her completely! Without leaving any traces, we have been too kind to Muna, and now she has chosen to bite us right in our faces! You mean Alpha Fredolf wanted to send you back.” I couldn’t keep my voice down enough, the anger obvious in my voice.

One of the kitchen maids looked over at me from her bed. It was late into the night already, and it was time for us to rest, as we would be up before four am, especially the garden and outdoor cleaners like me.

“This is so serious! Are you saying Alpha Fridolf has taken a liking to her and removed her from the maid position?” Talia asked me again. I was moved to shout at her and rebuke her for being too slow at assimilation, but right now I don’t want Talia to know how much she disgusted me, just yet, so I will need her in my plot again.

“My dear, not only that, that sly snake has her own apartment in this mansion now and the Alpha king dots on her like a princess, she’s acting like she’s not interested, but she is! I know that. Sometimes I feel like brawling her eyes out,” I complained again, eyeing another maid who stretched her neck to look at me.

“I’m here stuck in this stuffy room with three other maids, working my ass out every day. I should have listened to you and escaped from the war. I stayed intentionally just to be one of the Alpha Fridolf women and this is what I get, ?” Still complaining, I told Talia.

I knew Talia would make fun of me, and I accepted it, so when I heard her murmur something like the “I told you so” statement under her breath, I didn’t respond to it. She was actually against the plan of me staying back in the isile pack after the war and joining the captured people, but I was insistent.

“That’s not the point now. I should be asking you and Alpha Boris why you allowed Muna into the war van. Why did your husband act like that? She was his prisoner. Why did he allow her to go with other warriors, as if we both don’t know how much he loves Muna!” I intentionally threw that at Talia's face through the phone.

I couldn’t see her reaction, but with the silence on the orderly side of the phone, I knew I had hit the right spot. I hate her so much but can’t get rid of her just yet as I still need her in my plans. Talia thinks she’s smart and lucky all because she got alpha Boris' attention.

“You should hold onto your man very well, I won’t help you steal him from Muna the second time,” I spoke into the phone, trying to soften my voice with a little humor.

“You don’t need to put that in my face, I also know that you love Alpha Fridolf and you are pissed that your sister will ruin the plan of being the luna of the isile pack.” She muttered through the phone to me, obvious now that I had annoyed her.

“See Talia, this is really not the time to be so petty and proud. I have accepted and agreed that I stayed back to be captured because of my mission here and now that Alpha has fallen in love at first sight! You need to have seen how he warned me never in my life to insult or bully Muna, or he would send me back to my pack. We need a solution,” I shouted into my phone again.

“Then come back to your pack, he’s releasing you from s*****y… You don’t have to clean after Muna and answer her calls!,” Talia mentioned, obvious pity in her advice.

“Talia, I have thought of it, but that wretched mate of mine is waiting for me. I can’t come back home like a loser. Alpha Fredolf already knows that I’m staying because of my plans to be with him. Just yesterday he told all the maids in this huge mansion to respect Muna because she’s his guest. Imagine that,” I informed Talia.

She sighed worriedly but said nothing. I rolled my eyes at the maid next to my bed, trying to get Talia into our conversation. Excited that Talia was beginning to take the matter seriously, I needed her to find a solution quickly.

“Muna is a pretentious snake, always acting like a poor and sad victim, sneaking into our men's lives and overpowering their will! Just imagine the whole Alpha Fredolf publicly announcing that she’s his woman! This is so annoying!,” I kept complaining.

“You don’t need to say too much, now I know why Alpha Boris was so moody yesterday after the investigator he put on Muna’s case returned to tell him that Muna is enjoying so much respect and Alpha Fredolf is her second chance mate!,” Talia told me.

I nodded my head aggressively. Trying so hard to swallow the anger on the top of my lips, of course, Talia is the incoming Luna of the Queso pack, and she does know about many secrets of the pack, but yet she didn't tell me about the fact that the alpha king here is Muna’s second chance mate.

“You should have told me this earlier, Talia. I helped you when you needed me to give you information to steal Alpha Boris’s and now that it’s your turn to help me, you didn’t say anything until I called you!” I accused her, trying so much to sound playful and friendly.

“Urgh don’t say that, I would have called you tomorrow if you hadn't reached out to me.

Tonight? Alpha Boris just got the information today too, and he has been angry and harsh towards me since then,” Talia replied to me, sounding genuine and sorry.

“When I asked him if he was pissed that another man was treating Muna well, he told me to my face that he wanted her back, and he wanted her no matter what. Even if he has to sacrifice me! I was scared and sad when he said this to my face without blinking an eyelid,” Talia's voice got teary as she expressed her ordeal.

Deep down giving me so much joy, because I know that Talia would never opt to help me unless she needs my help also. She's too selfish, and I will teach her a lesson.

“You don’t need to cry Talia, we are going to ruin Muna, this time she’s going to disappear for good, enough of her shifting her weight around,” I tried to comfort Talia. Even though I didn’t feel any pity for her.

But yet, meaning every word I say about my sister, Muna is very beautiful and attracts people with kindness and respect. The more reason I take it upon myself to ruin her reputation everywhere she goes in Queso Park where we grew up.

“Are you sure about this? Alpha Fredolf is crazier and more powerful than Alpha Boris. What do you have planned? What am I to do? I’m ready to fight for my man,” Talia responded.

Her voice was firm and thick with determination.
