Chapter 21
Reign’S POV
I can’t thank Ma’am Sophia enough for lending me her coat yesterday. I would have died. As the day went on, the weather only became colder. I was more than shocked when Bata Miguel also came to lend me a sweater, but I already had one so he went away with it. He didn’t even talk to me but he acted nicely towards and that actually warmed my heart. So far, two Wall Street pack wolves have been nice to me.
Ma’am Sophia and Beta Miguel.
For some odd reason, I feel quite relieved that some people, even though the amount is almost insignificant, believe that I’m innocent.
I spent the night again on the wooden bed and my roommates took pleasure in taunting me all night, but I chose to ignore them.
If only my left hand was well, I would have given them something to laugh about. I hope that before the month comes to an end, before it’s time for me to leave, my hand would’ve been healed so I can give them a taste of their own soup.
I will so enjoy kicking their asses.
This morning, I’m not fortunate enough to dress up and sneak out. The fattest among them just woke up and right now I’m wondering how I’m going to get dressed before them.
Those women look like they can do anything at all to me and right now I’m scared. While with Tasha and Avery who had been nice to me, I still felt scared to go naked before them, now, what about three very frightful looking women who hate me from the depth of their hearts? What are they going to do to me?
I just pray they ignore and allow me take my clothes and dress in peace in the bathroom.
I turn off the shower and carefully dry myself with the hand towel. When I’m done, I tie my towel and go into the bedroom to take my clothes.
The women are wide awake and are engaged in a very loud conversation. The moment I step in, they all stop conversing and turn to look at me. I pause on my tracks and give them nervous glances.
“Good morning” I mumble under my breath as I hastily stride over to my bed to pick up my clothes and underwear.
“And where do you think you are going?” One of the women ask.
I don’t even know any of their names and I do not want to know. Their entire existence is nothing but a nemesis to me and I wish they could just vanish into thin air.
I stiffly turn around to face them and when my eyes meet with their piercing gazes, my breath hitches.
I have a bad feeling about this.
“I … I …” I stutter nervously and they all crease their eyebrows and that’s a signal that they are impatiently waiting for me to reply them. “I am going to the bathroom”
“What are you going to do in there with your clothes?”
“To… to… to dress up” I answer as I swallow dryly, praying in my heart that they don’t command me to dress up before them.
“And why are you going to dress up in the toilet?”
“Be… because you all are seated here”
“And so?”
“I …I …”
“I don’t care what it is you have to say. Take that towel off right now and dress up else I’ll do it for you and I promise you that it’ll be nasty!” She warns and I hesitate.
I have never done this before.
I have never had to go naked before anyone before. I am scared of what they might do to me.
I can feel tears trickling down my cheeks uncontrollably and I burst into tears when one of them rises up from her bed and walks closer to me.
“Please don’t do this” I cry but she ignores my pleas and the moment she steps in front of me, she rips the towel off my body, exposing my nudity and let’s out a wide grin.
“Such an awesome body” She comments as she looks at her friends who are equally enjoying the show. I wrap my arms around my body and try to cover-up myself to no avail.
I’m completely naked before three psychopaths who have the ability to do anything they want to do with me right now.
“Takes these hands off” She instructs as she yanks my hands off my body and they all burst into laughter once more. She steps dangerously close to me and is about to touch my breast when the room door flies open and Ma’am Sophia steps in, the moment I see, her I cry harder, hoping that she comes to my rescue.
“Step away from her!” She commands and the fat woman instantly withdraws her hand and scurries over to her bed. “How dare you! How dare you try to touch you fellow shewolf, don’t you know that’s a crime punishable by death?” She asks furiously as she walks over to me and takes off her I overall and puts on my body. I hastily put it on and wrap myself, thanking the Moon goddess in my heart for sending Ma’am Sophia to my rescue.
I could have been sexually molested!
“I will get back to you all later, for now…” She turns to face me “I’m changing your room, come with me” She says as she firmly grabs my left hand and I scream in agony as I feel an intense wave of pain course through my fractured arm. She instantly let’s go of my arm and looks at me in horror.
“What’s wrong?”
“My left arm, it hurts” I cry in pain.
“Oh, I had no idea, I’m so sorry” She apologizes and I just shake my head.
“It’s okay Ma’am”
“Alright then, take your clothes and come with me.” She instructs and without hesitation I walk over to my bed and gather my belongings and rush after Ma’am Sophia, fully aware of the glares that I’m getting form the three women.
I promise that when my hand is healed, I’m going to deal with them mercilessly. They will pay for treating me the way they did.
I follow Ma’am Sophia along the corridor and out of the security quarters to another enormous building. Along the corridor, there are doors side by side and we stop by one of the doors.
“We are here” She announces as she takes out a bundle of keys from her pocket and unlocks the door. Once we get in, I’m actually amazed by how large the room is and it’s just plain but very neat. There’s a queen-sized bed in the center and a wardrobe at the left side of the wall.
I admire the spacious room with a smile plastered on my face, it’s a lot better than the one I shared with the other women.
“Do you like it?”
“I love it!” I rejoice as I turn to face her.
“Well, this is your new room.”
“Mine alone?” I ask surprised.
“Yeah” She answers with a smile and I look at her in shock!
“No way!” I deny flatly.
“Yes, way. I’m not going to let you share a room with any of these ladies, they are up to no good, especially now that they hate you, you never know what they are up to”
“What about Alpha Hardin …”
“Forget about that stubborn boy” She says in a bored tune and I look at her in shock.
Does this woman really want a death wish?
“Now, let’s talk about your arm. What happened to it?”
“The Alpha’s guards broke while torturing me” I explain and she exhales deeply and shoes her head.
“I’m sorry about that. Does your mate know about this”
“You mean, Alpha Hardin?”
“Yeah, I mean Alpha Hardin. Or, have you got two mates?”
“No Ma’am, just that you would be in big trouble if he heard you calling me his mate.”
“I have asked to forget about that stubborn boy, he could deny that fact from now to the end of the world, but he can never change it. So, does he know?”
“No”
“You have to tell him”
“No! No!”
“Why not”
“He wouldn’t care and also I don’t want him to know, you see, we had a deal. I need to serve at the security for one month and he’s going to let me go. I just have one month to be here. Please don’t tell him anything, I’ll be fine”
“Are you sure?” She ask curious and I just nod.
“Yes Ma’am”
“Alright then, if you say so. Put on your clothes and report to your post immediately” She orders and I nod silently
She walks over to the door.
“Ma’am Sophia” I call and she turns to face me.
“Yes, Reign”© 2024 Nôv/el/Dram/a.Org.
“May I know why you are doing all this for me? Every one hates me because they think I killed my sister, why don’t you hate me?”
I ask and she just smiles.
“I can’t tell you the reason now, but for now, just know that you are a Luna and you deserve to be treated specially. I will tell you rest some other time” Then she walks out of the room leaving me dumbfounded.
She always leaves dumbfounded.
Who exactly is she? And what is she up to?
