Chapter one
Chapter 1: Birthday party
Redrine's POV:
“Mrs Scarlett is coming” Lola yelled from the door, everyone scattered, running helter skelter in fear of getting on Mrs Scarlett bad side.
“What are you doing standing there?” Lucy yelled at me, pulling me along with her. We stood on a straight lines.
It's the alpha's birthday today and there going to be a party. Mrs Scarlett is the one in charge of slaves and maids and she's worse than the devil himself. She's here to select maids to work in the alpha's party.
The sound of her heels could me heard as she walked in with her as always patched face with too much makeup and red lipstick.
“I see you've all gotten yourself ready for selection” She half smiled which looked like she was deep frowning.
“Why is you hair this rough when last did you wash it” She asked with her hand in her hips and the other hand pointing at the girl.
“Yesterday, no this morning”she girl stuttered.
“You liar” She pulled the girl but her hair and pushed her to the floor.
“Dirty pig” She added with a kick on the girls butt.
She went on insulting and giving half approval, she never gives compliments or full approval. She checks our hair, nails, teeth,toe nails everytime, I'm sure she'd wants to check our butt holes at some point.
“What are you doing glaring at her?” Lucy pinched me out of my thoughts
“I wasn't glaring” I whispered back. My heartbeat doubled when she got to Lucy.
“What's that stain on you shirts?” My eyes widen on Lucy's behalf.
“Where?” Lucy asked with shaky voice. She dusted her clothes with her hand and luckily for her, it fell off.
“Good, step out”stepping out means she was chosen. I'm next! I screamed in my head.
“What is this?” She shouted, oops! “Why is your head scattered like you just woke up? When last did you wash your hair? And why is your shirt wrinkled like this? Where's are your shoes?”
She asked
“I woke up late and this is what I can come up with” I shrugged
“You do this every year, what is your problem?! Let this be he last time you try this with me, you brat” She pushed me and I landed on my butt.
“Ahhh!” she stomped on her foot before moving to the next person. Mission accomplished.
I'll never attend the alpha’s party, the risk of coming face to face with him is higher than not seeing him at all.
“The next time you show your ugly face to me, that'll be the end of you” Alpha Rembrary said with so much hatred and anger. He'll definitely snap my neck when he see me again.
I shake the image of me meeting him again off my head and took a deep breath.
“You should all get ready, you know how it works. The party starts at six pm you have to be ready by five pm and you should be in position by five thirty.
Is that clear? Or do I need to to write it down on a board or should I get a speaker and microphone”she shouted, I never heard her talk in a calm voice, always shouting aggressively.
“Well understood ma, very loud and clear” They all cborused at once.
“You know there's a punishment for those who delay me, be sure to be ready before I get here. That's all for the now” She turned and once again the sound of her cheap heels attacked the floor as she left our quarters.
“Lucky girl, you should teach me how to do that someday” Lucy said, and I rolled my eyes at her.
“Says someone who can't get enough sleep because she's excited to see gamma Alex” she gasped, looking around to see if anyone was playing attention to us but most of them are busy preparing for the party.
“Someone might hear you” she whispered “I don't want to get in trouble with the girls”
I laugh at her reaction “it's fine to crush on someone, but you are no longer crushing on gamma Alex”she look at me like I was crazy
“You're not crushing on him, you're overly obsessed with him” And she smiled shyly at that.
“There's nothing bad in being obsessed” She blushed and I just want to hit her face with something as strong as a frying pan.
“There's something bad about, everything is wrong with obsessing over someone that don't know you exist, I've said this several times but you wo..…”
“That's okay, it's okay” She cut me off with that “Are you going to help me get dressed or you want to lecture me while I get ready?” She asked with a raised brow.
I raised my hands in defeat, “let's get you dressed”
It's almost five pm and the girls ready, they are all looking good except Stella who's having running stomach. I sat on my bed, checking out my best friend, who was nervous about meeting her so called obsession.
“You know he might notice me for the first time, do you think he'll like me” Lucy is very petite with curvy shape that fits her stature.
“Wait! What if he turns out to be my mate?” I bursted into laughter before I could hold myself, her question had me rolling on the ground.
“Mrs Scarlett is coming” Someone yelled, I composed myself as we all stood on a straight line.
What walked straight to Stella and she landed a hot slap on her face and we all gasps
“How dare you? You should know how important this day is to me, I've walked my ass off for years and you want to ruin it because your silly running stomach” She shouted and when on about how she started working in the palace since she was a teen.
It's not a new story.
“Gamma Alex's mate” I whispered into Lucy's ear and she glared at me.
“You know I should also wish on having the beta as my mate or the Alpha too” I said, holding my nose so I won't laugh out which was causing me to make silly sound as I try to supress my laughter.
I can see Lucy trying to control her now I want to laugh out badly and this cause my eyes to water.
“Redrine!” Lucy shouted rather too loud, now all eyes are on us.
“Really?” Mrs Scarlett asked looking me in the eyes. I look at Lucy who was looking lost like me. I look at the girl beside me and she nodded so I face Mrs Scarlett and nodded a yes.
“OMG, this is the sweetest gift I've received, thank you Redrine. Now let's get you dressed” i took my hand, I'm shocked.
First she thanked me and now we are getting dressed for what?
“Dressed for what?” I couldn't shake it off.
“You just said said to going to the alpha's birthday party”.
What?!
“I'm not going!” I said sternly, tr
ying to remove my hand from her hold.
She don't to me with a smile that screams danger.
“Too late dear”
