"Side with me, not with that slave!" Aster still cried out, telling the Alpha about those things.
Yet, I do not have enough time to listen to her as it annoys me. I continued to wipe the floor and did not mind how dangerous the stare that the Alpha had made was.
"Let us talk in the room. Just do not keep messing with all the trash, will you? It makes the hallway messy!"
"Fine! But please do not be at her side!"
"Let us go!"
I sighed with relief as I saw them leaving. The Alpha had held the hands of Aster while she wanted to stay with me. Does she always want to see how I oversee these? She cannot win with me.
I know she will always win, as the Alpha was on her side, not me.
All the trash was fixed, then it was in the trash bag. The hallway cleaned, and I was thankful that I fixed those for a minute as I have used the strength for being a Luna. Then, I go back inside the mansion and drink water as I am thirsty.
I find Aster, but I could not find her, so I am working again.

"Have you heard that Alpha Winston wished you to work in the prison?" The pack guard asked me.
He is tall for me to look at, like seeing a giant who talks. "Why are you staring at me like that? Are you shocked that Alpha wants you to do that work?"
It reminds me that the pack guard was lying, yet since I was a slave, I need to follow what he told. So, I would not be in trouble. No one was approaching us, nor the Beta was not around. Telling the Beta if it were true was good, yet he could not see.
"Yeah, I mean, I agree and will follow you," I said. "It is part of my job."
There was a smile on my face. It is a fake smile that I can consistently wear every time I feel bad and neglected by everyone.
Then, the guards are explaining to me why. It is because the prison is now smelly that everyone who enters can think like they are entering hell.
But I hope it was the reason. Seeing the eyes of the guard who keeps seeing if someone listened to our conversation made me suspect I am already in trouble. Still, I need to keep on finding it out.
We have arrived at the stairs, going down to the prison. It is right that it was malodorous, but what made me stop from entering was the scent of a lovely Luna who was present inside. Like the scent of Aster.
"Aster was inside?" I asked, pondering if I was simply wrong. There is Luna who is imprisoned.
"No need to ask and start working!" said the guard.
I dozed. I continue to walk until I enter the cell of the main entrance, trying not to breathe those foul scents.
"The hated slave had arrived very well." Aster's voice is what I have heard at the end of the prison.
All the werewolves had been standing, watching me widen my eyes, seeing Aster with her precious dress staring at me. She smiled like Aster did not smell bad in the prison.
"So, why are you here? Aren't you with the Alpha to make him happy?" I asked.
"You did not come here just to clean. I am the one who demands the guard to summon your presence," she said. She walks forward, going near me.
As I blinked, she stood in front of me, transforming her eyes into a wolf.
"Do you want to play with me, Mirabella? Or you want to know how I treat all the slaves?"
"None of the above. I wanted to leave peacefully, but you keep on creating chaos!" I am about to move, but she did not let me move.
Aster gripped my hand. Her nails grew taller. It almost stabs my skin and allows me to feel the pain, but I stay calm, allowing myself to not fight back with her.
"I do not want a fight—" Before I could compose the statement, Aster had metamorphosed into a wolf and hurt me in the face. She then put her firsthand on my face as she tried to squash it.
All that I did was to order that her hands would not reach my face, but I could not move. She is using her Luna vigor while I was not. I am not battling back with her. The next thing she did was to punch me in the side, kick my knee so that I was not in balance. She was about to hit me, but I moved a bit, so her kick just hit the air.
Since I felt I would be in trouble if I did not fight back, I slowly transformed and used my strength to fight back every time it hit me. Just to be sure that I will not be bullied again.
Then, I hold the cell to guide me to stand up. As Luna, I move quickly and fight Aster back. I kicked her in the side. She was now the one who was out of balance and was slightly holding the floor.
"What now? You should not bully me. I am a slave, but I need to treat equally!" I shouted. I got the broom, about to clean, but I stopped as I saw that there were guards who entered.
The guards, who were highly ranked, saw that Aster was on the floor. I am about to tell them it was not my fault again.
"Alpha Winston," I said, as he again is what I am seeing. "It is not my fault again. Aster attacked me first."
The Alpha should not enter the prison. I know it was in the written rule, but it does not matter. What I want is the Alpha to believe what I have said to him.
"Prison her!" Alpha said to the guards with authority. "And do not let her go unless I said so!"
"Yes, Alpha Winston!" Follow the guard. Guards are now marching towards me and holding me. They walk faster until they reach me and let me enter the dirty prison again.
"You still did not change, Mirabella. You wanted to stay in prison for you to change?! Then I think it might happen now."
I was appalled and sought to stop the Alpha, but it was too late. The prison cell had locked, and I was now inside.
"Alpha, why do you always think of me?!" I cried out
