679 Words
After my father was discharged from the hospital, he insisted on returning to his own city. After seeing him off, !finally returned to my home with Alpha Marcus.
When l opened the door, l was met with the sight of leftover food on the dining table from several days ago.Every corner of the house seemed to remind me that Alpha Marcus had been absent during this time.
Ignoring the moldy and foul-smelling food, i headed straight to my room to pack my bags.
But just as l reached the hallway,the door swung open from the outside.
"who are you? How did you get into my daughter's house?"
A werewolf couple stood outside luggage in hand and keys dangling from the husband's fingers.
The female werewolf, stout and angry, shoved her way forward."speak up! lf you don't tell us, we're calling the cops!"
I met her gaze with a cold smirk."Call the cops? Go ahead! I'm dying to see who your daughter is and on what grounds she thinks this is her house!
Her skeptical eyes darted around as she glanced outside."This is definitely my daughter's house!"
"Sweetheart, don't listen to her. She's a thief! Just look at that gift box in her hands; it screams expensive!"
The female werewolf's eyes narrowed at the box I held, and in a flash of fury, she lunged at me, raising her hand high.
“slap!
Her hand came down hard against my face, her sharp nails slicing through my skin.
“You shameless little slut! How dare you steal the jewelry my son-in-law bought for my daughter!"
“Do you even know who my son-in-law is? He's Alpha Marcus of Luna Corporation!"
"My daughter is his fated mate! You think you can stir up trouble in their home and walk away unscathed?”
My head twisted to the side from the force of the slap, a metallic taste o of blood pooling in my mouth. Just as I turned to escape, the husband landed a punch right in my stomach.
The suitcase toppled over, and the woman angrily scattered my belongings everywhere.
"Let's see what our daughter's little thief has stolen!”
“Don't touch my things!" l gasped,blood dripping from my mouth as l spoke.
“Oh, you still have the energy to yell? Darling, call security! This is supposed to be a high-end complex managed by Luna Corporation, and they can't even keep a thief out!"
“Honey, you should get in touch with our daughter and Alpha Marcus. They don't even know there's a thief in their house!”
Over the days that l took care of my father, l hadn't eaten or slept properly and had fallen ill-my wolf spirit weak and vulnerable. otherwise,l wouldn't be utterly defenseless against their attacks.
The couple stood over me, reveling in my helplessness, waiting for Alpha Marcus to arrive. They started rummaging through the house, the man sneering, "who bought this horrible painting? it's ugly, let's toss it out!"
He lifted the painting with a disdainful expression, and just as he was about to throw it outside, i sprang up, my eyes wide with panic. "Don't throw it away!"
"You filthy thief! when did you get a say in this?" The man lifted his foot,rubbing his dirty shoe across my face.
“stop! I’m telling you, I'm the Luna of Luna Corporation!" i gritted my teeth,my face sore and swelling, my words coming out slurred.
“Pfft, you're dreaming! You think you can become like my daughter and find an Alpha for a mate? Look at yourself;do you really think you're worthy?”
He suddenly spat a thick wad of phlegm, hitting my face.
“Yikes, look how dirty you are! what a wreck! lmagine if Alpha sees this, it’ll kill his impression of you!”
The male werewolf scoffed, getting up and continuing to haul the painting outside.
I stumbled to my feet, limping toward him, desperately trying to reclaim the painting
"Want it that badly?* The man smirked, stroking his chin.
“Get on your knees and beg.”
