3. The Big bad Alpha

Chapter 3

*****

Handing her over to the lady with a mischievous smile was like an acronym for handing over to the devil itself.

Her smile was cold, so dark that it passed dangerous meanings to her makinVesperiaia gulp in anticipation of the ugly fate that awaited her.

"Don't just stand there looking at me like a stick!" She snapped at her and Vesperia took her cue to follow her. They walked into what seemed like a field of sweat and tears, she saw how people troop in and out from a large building that looked ancient which isn't supposed to belong to a modern place like this.

Women were working tirelessly, taking dirt, oil, stones, and all sorts of raw materials to fit the description of the work needed.

This was an open dungeon where you already see the workload kept for you.

While Vesperia stood in raw shock, a hot slap connected to her cheeks which sent splatters of pain, spreading across her cheeks.

"Get your stupid wolf ass to that field and work! Don't just stare!" The lady yelled and pushed her, throwing a heavy pan at her body so that she fell. Her fall made her collide with another woman who was carrying dirt on her head and everything splashed on the both of them, earning a screech from the latter.

"Who the fuck is this?" Her claws scratched Vasperia's face who winced in pain.

"It wasn't intentional, I swear. I'm so sorry " She whimpered in dread.

"She's the Alpha's surrogate, a useless wolf in ranking." The other lady replied and that only seemed to infuriate Vasperia's clash with her.

"Then she should watch her way!" She kicked her so heavily that she thrashed down in pain, feeling her ribs rupture.

Her hair was dragged painfully and she shrieked in fear and pain and was being dragged to the fields.

She joined in the work in no time, working weakly under the hot sun and earning burning stares from her opponents who were working.

It seemed word had spread on the kind of person she was, making life more unbearable for her.

After working at the dungeon for hours, she looked cranky, hungry, and devastated.

"Alright, move your ass to the laundry room. It's time to wash the Alpha's attire." The Chief maid said, looking at Vesperia in disgust whose shoulders sagged in despair.

She's only been here for a day and she's already seen hell.

Vesperia, who knew she had no choice, stretched her feet and dragged herself to the laundry room which was twice larger than half of her Pack's Living room.

"And who is she by the way? She smells so different?" A random blonde-haired girl asked.

"She's the new Alpha's thing, a werewolf!" The chief maid replied and they all busted into laughter.

"A wolf for the Alpha? Did she bewitch him?" Another shrieked, pushing the pile of clothes to Vasperia who swallowed it.

Tears lurked in her eyes but she didn't fret, she knew she was in the Lycans's den and she had to survive it.

The fabric was all white, and she needed a detergent to wash it despite the machines staring right at her face. She didn't know what this person would do to her so it's better she stayed clear.

"No one can bewitch Alpha Raze! I think she uses her slutty self on him seeing that he needs a successor to take over the throne." Another lady replied and Vasperia bent to carry the clothes on the floor.

"Why are you staring at us like that moron?" A loud voice startled her and she flinched.

"T–th-the machine, I can't use it". Vasperia sincerely said with her shaky voice and the Chief maid scoffed and slapped her hotly.

"Never in your life will you touch that when you're here, get the detergent, wash that carefully, and dry it all."

She gasped in shock as the tears she had been trying so hard to hide rushed down.

"It's too much, I don't think I'll do it neatly because I'm tired!"

"Are you talking back to her?" The blonde-haired girl screamed at her and kicked the bucket of water to her face.

"No–No I was just saying…"

"..Shut the fuck up !" They all yelled at her together and she swallowed, nodding her head while the Chief maid felt proud of her girls.

"Now take the soap and wash quietly." She instructed and she went over to carry the bottle that contained a liquid soap, soaking the fabric in water and adding the soap only to discover that it was a blue dye.

"You keep underestimating the powers of the throne Raze, I've told you to step up. These animals will soon come for you."

The mature pretty woman who had raised him since birth told him in frustration. She had expected to see him with a woman but looking around the Pack and the room, there was no scent of a lady. Being the Pack goddess, she knew he needed to have the full requisitions needed lest he lose the powers connected to the throne after the full moon.

"You're hyperventilating Del, I have a bride and we'll get married tomorrow. What else are the requirements? Should I walk on the sky to claim the throne!"Raze snapped.

"Listen to me Raze, you don't only need a Luna but a successor. Having her is good but bringing a legatee is better, you only have twenty-three days to announce that your Luna is pregnant for the process to continue. You've suffered a great deal for the throne, don't let your hatred over something consume you."

He sighed and ruffled his hair in frustration, recalling the fact that the so-called bride was yet to get pregnant.

"You're right." He mumbled.

"By the way, where is she? I couldn't smell her around that's why I was flipping.?"

"She's in the dung…uh hmm…she's with the maids, preparing for tomorrow"

She looked at him suspiciously and shook her head. Her dark lush hai released some tendrils to fall at her brown eyes.

"I'll see her at the wedding tomorrow then."

He nodded and blew a breath, there was no way he would tell her that he sent her to the dungeon site.

Meanwhile, in the Laundry room, Vesperia let out a serious gasp as she saw how the perfect color of the fabric became blue and stared at the bottle in shock.

She must have picked the wrong item and soiled something so important.

"Holy Moons, what have you done to the Alpha's clothes!" They cried in unison.

"It wasn't intentional! Please, I'm so–"

She was dragged harshly out of the room before she could finish her statement. They knew what they did and couldn't wait for her to be punished or exiled and a stain on the royal clothes was like a disrespect to their standards. Dyes were not supposed to be kept in a place for washing but the maids had done that so she could never be with their drop-dead gorgeous Alpha.

Vasperia was made to thrash on the cold tiles heavily before Raze who wasn't expecting any of this while the chief maid bowed.

"What's it, Jane?" He asked boredly as if their presence irritated him as heck.

"It's Vesperia, she destroyed all the Royal white fabric with Dye," She said immediately with spite and Raze raised his brows.

He wasn't shocked but he was surprised that it was coming from the lady who was going to be his Surrogate.

"And why would she do that?" He asked her and she stuttered.

"Carelessness Alpha, I think she did it on purpose because everyone had specifically told her that it belongs to you "

She said and Raze's eyes didn't even spare them a glance, all he needed to do was dismiss them and think about how to tackle the elders who were after his authority.

"That's a huge crime." He said and she replied immediately.

"Exactly Alpha, it's so bad "

"Good, throw her in a construction dungeon. She needs to learn that she's going to be my Luna." He said coldly and dismissively when Vesperia growled within her.

She got so mad at his attitude and wouldn't accept silly bullshit treatment anymore. They had an agreement and it had nothing to do with treating her like trash.

"I won't go anywhere." She said, finally grabbing the attention of the Big Bad Alpha who raised an amusing smirk.
