Crystal's POV
'' Crystal!'' Mom voice came loud and clear straight into my hard breaking my thoughts making me jump off from my bed straight to the bathroom. I am a dead meat already, I thought the moment I heard her unlock my door.
I quickly tap on the shower making the water run down while I take my toothbrush from its holder, then I apply paste while dragging it through my teeth washing off the dirt in there.
Furthermore, I only hope she wouldn't wait for me in my bedroom because she can be like that sometimes. A week ago, that this also happen, as she unlocks my door and I switch the shower on, I think she heard the sound then lock it back.
In my mind, I was already happy that she has left, so I only wash my mouth then spank little water on my face. Using my towel on my face, I step out with my night gown on my body, only to enter and meet mom on my bed waiting for me to move closer.
My eyes instantly pop out like it's about to fall out while I stood rooted to the ground with my face red like that of ripe tomato.
I was embarrassed that I was caught red-handed but instead of looking sorry, I was actually grinning at mom who looks furious instantly.
That is the moment I realize that am in soup already with the way mom was staring at me without a single smile breaking from her harden face, I instantly swallow the sky comment I wanted to give out.
We both stare at each other for minutes before I finally break it and walk sluggishly back to the bathroom and do the appropriate thing. Coming back to my room, I found out mom was nowhere to be found.
Knowing am guilty, I didn't go downstairs to have breakfast because I know mom is obviously still mad at me, knowing that's how I do trick her. The maid had to bring mine up to my room, but I didn't really enjoy it like I do whenever it's with those living in the pack house.
You know the joy of having you and your friends eat together on the same table while throwing each other a glance, using it to communicate about one or two things we have left in our mouth to say. But alone in my room, there's no one I could talk to. It's just me and my room belongings, eating like a snail.
For that whole day, I didn't come down neither did I step out of my room until dad came calling for me to come out but unfortunately, it was my mom that came for me.
I was uncomfortable with thicken the air between us as I dress up and match alongside my mom to my dad's office. I had to plead with her before we reached dad's place because I know in there, any mistake I make, mom would not come to my rescue.
She would join dad and act like she is not paying attention to me, attempting to be the great Luna they are building. But unfortunately, I know she would still talk, but it wouldn't be like not pleading with her before reaching there.
Just like I had known it would be, mom didn't back me up at all in there and dad notice it but didn't say a thing, not until the visitors left.
He then asked his wife what's going on while I keep on throwing mom that glance not to say anything to dad.
But instead, mom looked away and told him what I did, and even added that she is sure I have been tricking her all this while.
It's not that telling dad would get me really punished like that, but dad scolding is the worst because he would stop me from doing some activities that he knows I can't do without.
Just like taking all my painting and drawing equipment out of my room, and he will also schedule time in which I would be able to see my friends and play with them.
To crown it all, he would make sure my lesson about the pack is tight under his watch for three days. And lastly, he would make me do some pack work with him, which are always boring to me.
I find all the paperwork boring because it's all about transaction and some kind of prisoners rubbish which I don't want to talk about. For those three days, I am always miserable, but who would I blame if not myself for making a fool of my mom?
Willing, I accepted all the punishment but still pleaded with mom so that's he can at least take me to the kitchen sometimes rather than being in dad's office for almost a day.
But mom didn't answer until the last day of my punishment which makes me delighted that finally, I am out of that hellhole called my dad office always filled with conversation which I don't think I need.
With that, I should have learned my lesson but come on, I can't do with staying up late at night.
Also waking up late because it's always cool mostly early in the morning and my body system don't help it at all.
I am always weak early in the morning, but I am afraid of going to the pack doctor, that's why I didn't even tell my mom not to talk of dad. I don't like that lady at all, neither did she like me.
Always giving my dad that look that one will know she really envy my mom and want my dad to her which I can't let it happen. She is a flirt, but I still find it difficult that dad didn't notice her.
I am sure the feelings and behavior of her didn't start now, it would have been a very long time before I am born. Moreover, rumor have it that dad and her had a past together, but I don't believe in rumor until I find out myself… TBC
