Who gets the Luna

Chapter one Ava's POV I held my left chin, feeling the sting from the slap from the head maid. I slowly got off the floor, holding my dress with teary eyes, and bowed my head before the chief maid. "How dare you spill the wine on the princess's dress? Your lack of skills makes it very difficult for the entire maids' quarter!" Jane yelled angrily, and I quickly raised my hands to my face to prevent the huge impact that was about to befall me again. "Tsk, a lowly thing like you should be grateful that you have the chance to set your rotten eyes on the princess. I expected more from you, but what did you do? You messed up like how your life has always been a mess!" She cursed at me and then took the wipe from the platter. "Please, I promise that it was a mistake. I never intended to spill the wine on her, please." I begged, feeling the cold sweat that had broken through my back. I quickly backed away, hoping to get out of the mess, but the maids around me held my shoulders and pinned me to the cold floor, making me unable to move. I felt my eyes burn and turn blurry. My heart was racing unsteadily as I watched her move in my direction. I struggled to break free, but it was fruitless. "This isn't the first time you tell me this. Pin her down," Jane yelled, veins visible on her neck, and raised the wipe. I tightly closed my eyes, waiting for the pain that was about to hit my body, and my hand gritted, but nothing happened. "Stop!" An authoritative voice sounded from the door, and I felt the pressure on my body lessen as the maids quickly stood up and bowed their heads in the direction. The person's heels clicked on the titles as they made their way towards us, and a suffocating aura followed after that. "I can see that you are having a little business here, lady Jane." An elegant voice sounded out. I shook my head, and the first thing that came into my view was the silver heels, and my eyes widened. In horror, I knew who the person was. "Lady Astra, I sincerely apologized for what this lowly Omega did to the princess. I hope she didn't take it to heart." Jane bowed curtly, then straightened her back. I watched the duo conversing, and I knew at that moment that my life was about to turn into a living mess. Had I known, I should have held the jug tightly if I knew my life depended on it. "Where is its insignificant existence? Lady Astra's voice jolted me awake, and I quickly stood up. "My name is Ava." I tried to introduce myself, but she caught me off guard. "The lowly Omega? That's good; take her with me." The woman ordered, and the maids behind her all stride in my direction. "I can walk by myself," I fiercely told them, and I heard a soft chuckle. "It seems you haven't been training your maids to be cautious and respectful, Jane," Lady Astra said, then walked out of the place. I took a deep breath, dying down the anger and hatred I felt in my heart. I cleared off the tears and went after them as they dragged me to the princess's chamber. "Who do we have here? Her irritating voice resonated in the hall, and I bit my lip tightly. Princess Isabella, the only heir to the throne and daughter of Alpha Zeth, is a ruthless and bloody-thirsty she-wolf. "Greetings, princess," I muttered, and I felt a sharp pain in my legs that made me lose my balance and collapse on the floor. "Such insolence! You bow when speaking to the princess!" One of the maid's yells entered my ears, but I simply ignored it and tried to get up, but they pinned me down. "It seems she has forgotten her status so soon in the palace. Just because you live in the maid's quarter doesn't guarantee that you are part of it. You are just a lowly servant eating from the remains given to the dogs, so you better know your place if you want to survive here." Her provocative reminder made my heart bleed, but I wasn't one to give in so soon. I pushed the maids and got up on my feet. "Oh? What are you going to do now? She chuckled. A cold smile appeared on my face as I stood my ground. "It will be treason if I speak ill of the princess, but at the same time, I do think that the princess needs to go through some classes she missed. I remembered clearly that the nobles do not speak in such ways, and I wonder if I am wrong about this." I coldly replied, and I saw the veins in her head pop up. "How dare you?" She yelled angrily as she picked the hairpin from her hair and slashed it at me. Well, it was missed. A thud was heard behind me, and when I turned to see what it was, I noticed that the pin had pierced the neck of a maid, and she was gagging. "Take her to the medical ward now," Lady Astra ordered. Isabella fumed angrily, and she was ready to say another word when Lady Astra quickly intervened. "Princess, I think we should save the energy for Alpha Ethan. He will be here in two hours, and it will be a shame if he sees the pack's princess in such a state," she reminded through clenched teeth. I simply smiled and gave Isabella a mocking look.
