895 Words
I promised myself not to cry in front of all these people. I held it in and turned to him. “Respectfully Alpha, you were the one that touched me inappropriately, leading to me being startled. I didn't intentionally want to soil your expensive clothes. “He stared at me, shocked that I exposed him. “I— I did no such thing. What do you mean by touching you inappropriately? You… you are making up baseless accusations with zero to no evidence that I did that” I stumbled over his words trying to clear his name. He looked over at the other guests, trying to garner their favor but knowing who he really was, none of them stood up to defend him. But Stephanie spoke up. I believe you, Alpha Rodrick. I mean, why would a reputable man like you want to touch filthy trash like her? She must be lying, giving an excuse for how she acted. She is such a silly fool.” She walked towards us and I couldn't help but cower in fear as she got closer. I will make sure to teach her a lesson after our meal” she was standing so close to me that our noses nearly touched. I was terrified. She snapped her fingers and another maid walked into the room. “Get our guest here a room and a change of clothes from the finest dressmaker immediately.” “Please follow her, Alpha Rodrick, she will make sure to get you new garments” Stephanie told him. He seemed to be pleased with getting new clothes from a wealthy household and totally ignored me as he walked out with glee.“Mima, you are dismissed. Go to your room and await punishment.” I turned to the voice that spoke to me. It was Dylan. He looked at me with anger in his eyes. He must also not believe me, like his Luna. I trudged out the hall and into my room. I didn't think that my life could get any worse than it always was. How would I get out of this now, no one believed me. I sat on my bed staring at my ceiling when the door slightly opened and the head maid walked in.“Child, how are you doing? I heard all that happened in the dining hall.” She opened the door wider and walked in carrying a big first aid kit box. She walked towards me, sat on my bed and treated my wounds. I couldn't help but tear up as she did. She was done and was packing up when Stephanie stormed in with two guards. “Get out, now Julia” she shouted at the head maid who left as quickly as she could.” Seize her” the guards walked up to me and held me down, cuffing me again with silver chains. How did these chains not affect these people? One of the guards brought out a blindfold and blindfolded me. I was dragged out of my room. When my blindfold was taken off, I noticed that I was in a dark room. I tried to make out where I was but I couldn't figure it out. As I turned my neck to scan the walls, I felt a lash on my back which made me cry out in pain.” I don't think you know the rules about being a maid. Rule 1, never embarrass your owner.” Another s***h of the whip.” Rule 2, the visitors are always right” Another “Rule 3, never show a face of defiance” Another s***h. I began to sweat and cry, I felt like my body was tearing out. I hadn't heard from my wolf in days since her mate rejected her and so my wounds have been slow to heal. Another s***h of the whip and another and another, till my whole body was bleeding and sour. “You slut, you are so useless. Your parents should be glad they died and not see what a worthless piece of trash you have become.” Stephanie hissed as she spoke. Her words stung and I almost believed that my parents were better off dead and not seeing how weak and feeble I was now. I heard the door close and I figured that I was alone. The chains on my hand and legs restricted my movements and my wounds stung. I tried calling out to my wolf but she didn't respond. I tried again and again to locate her and connect with her but she refused to come out. I cried out in frustration. I looked up at the ceiling and began to call out to the goddess. “Why, why, why! “What did I do to deserve this, I did nothing. I have done nothing but be good, why did I deserve all these then!” I cried out louder than I intended. I pulled at my chains which hurt me the more I pulled but I couldn't help but continue. It was useless. I hated this place, I hated myself and I hated the goddess. If she was truly the mother of all wolves, she would have saved me from this hell. I felt myself drifting in and out of consciousness and then I slumped down face forward.
