I wanted till there was no noise from downstairs before I could sneak out of my room. I forgot to take water with me and I nearly died waiting for
noju
them to clear out.
1 pecked and sighed with relief when I saw no one there, I walked downstairs to the kitchen and got a bottle of water
I was gulping it down when Millicent and Olivia entered the kitchen, I ignored them thinking they would do their thing and leave me alone but they stopped short when they saw me standing there,
“Hit not the daughter of the murderer,” Olivia sperred
I covered the bottle and clamped it with my two hands to control myself. Their words didn’t bother me but the look on their faces did. They looked at me like I was some fly at the bottom of their shoe that they wanted to squash and that bothered mei
Do you have any other insults besides that?” Lasked them
Olivia sneered. “It was not an insult, just a fact. You might have the Alpha fooled about staying here and working for him in order to prove your
nocence but it doesn’t mean we would overlook it.”
“What?” I was confused, I risked a look at Millicent and was surprised to see her so stricken. Her gaze mer mane and a laughs escaped me.

“Don’t play dumb, stupid girl. You are trying to warn your way into this pack to finish what your father couldn’t do.”
I cocked my bead to regard her, “And guess who I would start with? You”

I stared at her trying to decipher if she was actually senous or was trying to be a comedian.
“Thave been going minde‘ I guess imalting someone and expecting them to take it is the way you bitches run the pack.” I looked from her to
Millkent who has not said a word.
“You thank you are the queen bees, you want to bully the new girl in remisel her where her place is. Belittle her so she feels so small, make her feel insecure so you can make yourselves feel better, isn’t that right?” Lasked with a taunting smile
You don’t know what you are talking about,” Milliceon asked,
“Welcome back, Millicent. I was beginning to think you were mame.
“Watch your cone, she is your future Luna Olivia announced.
Thurst into laughter, I slipped my knees when it became too much to bear
“My future Luna! Ethink you have it all wrong. I am not a member of this pock so she cannot be my Luna. She doesn’t deserve to be one to be honest and judging from whom she did to me? I will never respect her,”
The pan on my cheek took time to register in my head and when it stuing, I laughed. I held my cheek and chuckleil while they looked at me like I
“Why are you laughing, you freak?” Olivia sılaried. “Don’t speak to her that way.”
“Do you ever get tired?” I asked her,
“Do you ever get tired of being the guard dog for Millicent I mean, it must pay you, right? To stick to her because she has a more promising future, the Lama of the pack,” I made sir quotes around the Lama.
Millicent glared at me,
r, ber ears perked up before a devious smile spread across her lips. She slapped herself and my jaw dropped to the floor.
She fell to the floor with a scream, even Olivia looked confused but when Aragon walked through the doors, she caught on and stared sobbing.
Aragon walked in with another pack member, he stopped short when he saw Millicent on the floor, his gaze remained on me, trying to deem me quilty. I met his guze head on, daring him to do his worse.
What happened here?” he asked.
Thated that my body was tuned to him. Millicent pointed at me then at her check
“I was trying to give her a warm welcome like you said and then she became aggressive” she robbed.
I rolled my eyes.
Aragon looked at me, “Is this true!”

“Does it matter what my answer b” Lasked.
He sighed, “Yes, it dors”
I shook my brad. “It doesn’t matter. Yes, they were right, I was aggressive.”
They both stopped crying immediately and stared at me, “Are you sure!”
“Yes, can go back to my room or are you going to punishme
“Come with me,” he ordered before walking away.
I followed him to his office. When he opened his office and gestured for me to go traide, Tidal Draw Marcel there and my heart calmed down a bit,
I smiled at Marcel who just looked confused about seeing me there, he looked behind me and shot a questioning look at Aragon who ignored him.
“Marcel excuse us please.”
Marcel stood up and my heart amk. “No, please stay.” I looked at Aragon wals a little more conviction. “I want him to stay,”
“That’s not up for debate,” he said
I nodded and Marcel shot me a questioning look before he went out the door. I brought my head down refusing to look at my captor.
“What really happened out there?” he demanded.
“I already told you, they were right.”
Tell me the truth,” he barked.
I jumped up. “I don’t know why it’s any of your business. They were merely following your example of mistreating me. It shouldn’t come as a surprise ton, please leave me alone.”
Hooked up when I heard that tone, it was deadly and my eyes widened when i saw his face. He was angry anil I could take a pretty good guess at mudhry,

I took a step back. “Of course, Lunderstand.”
He clenched his fists before releasing them. “Leali told me about your decision to go to school with her,”
I was more than happy for the abrupt change in topics. “Yes, she said she was going to talk to you about.
“Why didn’t you want to talkin me about it!”
