59 Preparing For Guests (Book 2)

~Amelia~

I linked Macy in the morning to get the Omegas ready to help with the packhouse.

The place was like a mansion, bigger than the Clayman’s house in lucland. Seeing the place made me realise that Leo was a very simple man.

He had built the place four years ago while still married to Tamia because he was required to have something like it as head Alpha, but the couple never moved in. I couldn’t blame Tamia for her choice.

Seeing they did not want to live here, I wondered how she coped with living in a palace.

People often went out of their way for love.

I would not live in this place once the issue is over.

I hope we move back to our little house.

Too much space is terrible when building a home, and this place provides precisely that.

It had nineteen rooms which were different from the number Leo gave me.

I guess he must have forgotten the count.

Three dining rooms. A lounge, a dance room, a library, four offices, a training room, Gym, and a gaming room. A room that looked like it was meant for women to practice their hobbies.

A playroom for children, home cinema. Three kitchens, each serving a dining room, all exclusive of the nineteen bedrooms, all ensuite.

What the hell were Tamia and Leo thinking to build this thing?

I had the mind of turning it into a hotel and making some money off the place when all this was over.

I knew Leo already owned three hotels, but I wouldn’t want this building to waste away because there was no way I would live here.

Everyone who worked closely with Leo had a small house like ours in the settlement. Having a structure like this was required but unnecessary.

Macy came with thirty Omegas. They met me at the Packhouse entrance, and neither dared look into my eyes.

I saw my friends there, the ones that tried to disrespect me.

It was cute seeing them fix their gaze on the ground.

I wondered what the kappas did.

Knowing women weren’t taken advantage of in Mountain made me suspect they were publicly shamed, as their Alpha had implied.

“Good morning Luna,” they said in unison, and I smiled and nodded.

Macy looked at me, awaiting orders.

She was never rude or unkind to me, but I did not warm up to her for fear that she couldn’t be trusted. So far, she had been good, and she had not worked against me in any way. She wouldn’t even dare dream it now. I smiled at her, and her eyes softened a bit.

“I am putting you in charge of this task, Macy. I trust you, and I know you will do an excellent job. We have guests coming tomorrow, so I need this building ready for all of us to stay in. Leo and I will be moving here too. Do you think this place will be ready by evening?” I asked her, and she nodded.

“Yes, Luna. We clean it occasionally, so the work will be a little as the building isn’t dusty.

I will also ensure the kitchen and stores are equipped for your guests.” She added, and I nodded.

“All right, let’s go in,” I said, and Macy frowned at me, looking confused.

“What is the matter?’ I asked her.

“You do not need to stress yourself, Luna,” She said, and I laughed.

“We are going to clean this place together. Alpha Kyle and Max are joining us soon. I can’t be idle all day,” I said, and she smiled at me.

We went in and went to work.

I watched as Macy organised the women. She was really in command, and she did it so well.

By afternoon I told her we needed to take a break and eat.

Kyle and Max had joined us but were not with the ladies by then.

They ensured the training room and gym equipment were in good shape. We wanted to avoid any mishaps when our guests arrived. We needed to change faulty equipment before they arrived.

“Luna,” one of the Omegas called Vanessa said, approaching me, and I did not know what she wanted.

“There are some things in one of the Master rooms that we are unsure of what to do with them,” she said, and mischief was in her eyes. I could also smell it.

She would have informed Macy and not come to me directly if her intentions were good. I was up for the challenge and stood up to follow them.

“I will go, Luna,” Macy said, and I shook my head.

“You can join me. I want to see the items Vanessa felt important for me to see,” I said, looking at Vanessa, and she wasn’t smiling.

She tried to look innocent, but I could see past her.

I was used to Omegas and their schemes.

I grew up with them. Their wolf rank made them great schemers. They naturally always tried to scheme to deal with someone they viewed as an opponent; most of these women believed I fucked my way to the top. I don’t care; they would have done it, too, if it were easy.

We went up the grand staircase to one of the master’s bedrooms.

Seeing the door, I placed Tamia and Sylvester in that room.

I hoped they would visit one day and get to stay in it.

It was supposed to be meant for Leo and me, but they were our Mornarchs; they deserved nothing but the best.

Vanessa opened the double french door, and I entered the room.

It was exquisite, but that wasn’t the only thing that was exquisite about the room. It had pictures of Leo and Tamia on the wall. I went to examine the large and small frames. They weren’t dusty, so it meant they were just put up, and I could smell Vanessa on them. Stupid Omega.

“This is meant to be the masters, so I do not know what to do about the pictures,” the bitch said, and I started laughing. It was hilarious. Did she think I was petty? Stupid girl.

“Take down the ones with Queen Tamia and Leo. Leave the ones with just the queen on the walls,” I said, not wanting King Sylvester to see pictures of Tamia and Leo.

The ones that had just her were gorgeous, and I knew she would appreciate them on the walls. She might even take them to the north if she likes it. I just hope they visit us one day.

“What about her clothes and jewellery that are in the closet?” Vanessa asked me.

“Leave it there. She is queen. She will stay here whenever she cares to visit. I am sure she would love the arrangement,” I said, and Macy smiled at me.

I honestly have nothing to worry about.

Tamia was taken, and I was taken.

I wasn’t living in her shadow. Leo and I were in a great place. There was no time that I was in competition with her, so it could never bother me. In fact, I welcomed Leo and Tamia’s friendship. She will always look out for him and me if needed.

“This is the best room, Luna,” Vanessa said, and I nodded.

“I figured, and it is fit for a queen. The second best would be perfect for Leo and me,” I said, and everyone was silent.

“Take the two frames with Leo and Tamia to our house,” I said, and Macy moved quickly.

I turned to Venessa, who did not look pleased with my reaction and tried to mask it.

“So why did you put them up, Vanessa? Leo put those things in storage in this building. Where are you trying to tell me something by it?” I asked her, knowing her intentions, and she shook her head.

“Those pictures were put up just now and had your scent. Why do that and call me to come and see?” I asked her, and I moved closer to her.

“I am usually passive with Omegas because I understand your plight of being low-ranked. I grew up with your kind, so I understand, but you women would never learn. Trying to hurt my feelings is low. Did you think I would cry when I saw Leo’s picture with Tamia? I have a mark that says otherwise, Vanessa; this was very low,” I said, and she shook her head.

I raised my hands and slapped her. Everyone was shocked.

“I pleaded with Leo to be lenient, but you women never learn. Anyone who tries to mess with me again would be dealt with effectively,” I said, linking a kappa to join us in the masters.

I turned to Macy to give an instruction.

“Vanessa will be sweeping the streets henceforth. I do not want to have any dealings with her; am I clear?” I told Macy, and she nodded quickly, still holding the picture frames.

The Kappas arrived, and I ordered them to take Vanessa away. I decided to address the rest of the girls. Content rights belong to NôvelDrama.Org.

“I will make an example of anyone who disrespects me again. I will be kind if you are nice and behave, but I will unleash my wrath on you if you decide to make me a rival. I am not your rival; I am your luna. The earlier you all get that, the better for all of you,” I said.

“Sorry, Luna, we had no hand in this,” they said, and I knew they were telling the truth, but it was necessary to state it.

Macy had an Omega take the frames with Leo and Tamia back to our house while they continued the work. The mansion was ready by evening, and I retried home.

Leo and I moved to the pack house the following morning.

He wanted us to stay in the masters, but when he entered the place, he figured I had prepared it for Tamia and Sylvester.

“Why?” he asked, looking at the room.

“She is queen, and she was once Luna of the east. If she ever visits, she will have a place to stay, just like they created a place for you in the Volkov estate. And you aren’t even from the north,” I teased, and he smiled at me.

I figured he was hiding something but did not want to push it. He would tell me eventually when the need arose.

“So we have to settle for the other main bedroom,” I added, and he laughed.

“Tamia will love what you did to the room,” he said, and I was glad it made him smile.

We settled into our room, but it was strange. I knew we would adjust eventually.

Devin Corrigan and his fiancé arrived at noon, and I allocated a room to them.

They were both blondes with blue eyes; I could only imagine how their children would look.

Her name was Susan, and she was fascinated with my eyes and hair.

She reminded me a lot of Avery but a more reserved version. I could see us being friends.

I hoped the people of the north would visit because I was already missing Linda.
