Chapter 3 - *Sienna’s POV*
This is far from over, i will play his little game for now but soon i will give him hell!
“Would you like help washing Luna?” The maid asked causing me to scrunch up my nose - what kind of werewolf did she look after last time?
“No i can do it myself”
She nods and exits shortly later
I ease into the bath and take a deep breath, the steam calms me as the hot water helps my aching muscles and for once I am looking forward to having a decent sleep in a bed again even if it's sharing with the alpha… thinking about being in the same bed as him makes my skin crawl.
I enjoy my bath till I’m ready to leave. I wrap the fluffy towel around my body and run my fingers through my hair, leaving the room. I see all my stuff is through here now with a long navy dress on the bed.
“The alpha requested that you will wear this dress to dine with him” The maid is clearly eager to please her master if she’s giving me this kind of dress - it is a bit too much in my opinion, i’d rather wear a romper with heels but a floor length dress?
“Tell him i am not hungry”
The maid disappeared as i found my jeans and tshirt placing them on the bed as the door swung open
I squirmed as I gripped the towel around my body - who doesn’t knock when a lady is changing!?
“Ares! Towel! KNOCK!”
The way i didn’t call him alpha seemed to have rattled him, but as soon as he looked at the towel tightly wrapped around my body his eyes almost glowed with lust it was clear his wolf was malnourished of sex
“Wear the dress and meet me in the dining hall, that’s an order - remember rule 1!”
Dammit…
I nodded and he slowly exited as he kept looking down at my body.
I HATE ALPHAS
I got changed into the ridiculously fancy dress and walked to the dining hall but there were no pack members here at all. The alpha is sitting at the end of the table staring at me watching my every move
“Where's the rest of the pack?” i queried
“Why should they dine with the alpha?”
He questioned my question with a question! Ugh how annoying!
“A fair and just alpha would dine with his pack”
We both knew he wasn’t either of those - I just wanted to hear him say it.
“Sit” he pointed to the chair next to his - i don't really have a choice so i sit beside him looking over the food enough to fill thousands
“I can’t eat all this” i mused as he gave me a look over his eyes having no emotions
“The rest will go to the slaves and maids”
That disgusted me, all of us should be eating together like a pack - not the alpha and luna eating and whatever is left goes to them. It’s cruel and unfair.
Later that night I got dressed in my pajama shorts and oversized t-shirt, and I snuggled up in bed. The alpha wasn’t here yet so I could get some sleep before he arrives.
After a few hours i felt a dip in the bed, the alpha must be getting into bed now, i inched closer to the edge to stay away from him but before i could drift back his massive arm wrapped around my waist pulling me into his chest, i try so hard to not move so he thinks i’m still asleep but then he says those words - words only mates say to each other…
“MINE”
A few weeks passed since that night, i got on with my work as Luna, visiting wolves, organizing parties, meals, balls and i even added a new job to my everyday life, attending the orphanage to help those who lost their parents find new homes - it took a long time to convince Ares as he didn’t want me to leave the packhouse but eventually he did.
I housed over 23 cubs now and I check on them in their new homes every so often, my heart beats and a genuine smile appears on my face as I know I am doing a good job.
“Sienna, we need to head back to the pack house now”
“Coming Seth”
Oh and Seth and the others were freed, they all kept a close eye on me these past few weeks - being the protective wolves that they are i know they just want to protect me
“I’m sorry you've been devoted to Gamma, Seth”
He chuckles
“Don’t worry about it Si, it means i get to protect you and help you - i would rather it be me then one of those crazy mutts”
I have to agree with Seth. The first week of doing my work I had a former rogue and all they did was stare and well it was very off putting.
As we walked into the main hall of the pack house a maid came over
“Luna, the Alpha wants you in his study”
I nod head there as Seth eyes me worryingly, Gosh he really does remind me of my dad.
I walk into the Office and sit down in front of the Alpha’s desk.
“Come closer my luna”
A shiver runs down my back everytime i hear him call me ‘His’
I walk over to him regardless as he gets off his chair sitting me down on it, my eyes widen as on his screen there are a ton of little windows all showing parts of the house. Is he spying on me?
“Why the hell have you been taking food from the kitchen?”
I let out a sigh, I hoped I wouldn't get caught by him. He doesn’t care about the pack at all.
“I was giving food to the homeless wolves…”
He grunts and rubs his face in exhaustion
“Why?”
“Cause that’s what a Luna does, she takes care of every single wolf no matter the age or ability”
Suddenly i’m spun around on the office chair as he hovers over me
“Those wolves have done nothing for the pack that's why they are homeless, so you better leave them alone to starve till they learn their lesson”
Anger surged through my body, some of those wolves were disabled or children who ran from the orphanage because they were scared of new homes.
“You are being cruel”
He moved closer his mouth brushing against my earlobe
“Cruelty is how you survive and right now all you are showing is weakness for those good for nothing wolves” How can he think that way?
“My father once told me–” i was interrupted by his snarl
“YOUR FATHER IS DEAD YOU DON'T LISTEN TO HIM ANYMORE”
Ouch - that was like a dagger through the heart as he yelled that in my face, tears trickled in my eyes as its burning moisture rolled down my face
“Burn in hell” I slipped out from under his demeanor and ran to my old room, slamming and locking the door, my breath heaved as new tears kept coming and coming. Why? Why does it still hurt? They’ve been dead for over a month now and it still hurts.
A soft knock came to the door
“Go away”
