The people at the dinner table at Einar mansion were very quiet that day. Duke Jehl's gaze moved from his main wife, the duchess, to his human concubines and children. All of them chewed the food quietly except the duchess. His main wife, madam Leanna, stabbed the meat as if it was some enemy.
He didn't have to think a lot to know that it had to do with his cursed niece.
"What did she do now?"
He felt the headache building up already. Duchess Leanna started to narrate the whole story in an aggrieved manner. She skipped the part of her brother entering the omega's courtyard unannounced and made it sound like she came out of her courtyard to scare people around which happened to be her brother who was passing by.
'Just perfect.' She heard a loud snort and turned to glare at the offender. It was Aziel, her stepson and the duke's eldest son. He ate calmly, unfazed by his stare, as a lazy smirk adorned his face. Deciding to settle scores with him later, she turned back to look at her husband with pitiful eyes and sobbed.
"Honey, I don't know what wrong I've done to her. I've loved her as my own kid but she leaves no chance to humiliate me. I can't bear it anymore." With her performance, Leanna was sure that the duke will definitely be moved to inflict punishment upon the wretched girl. She was his mate after all.
In their world consisting of humans, vampires, and werewolves, only werewolves were blessed with the mate marks. Every werewolf was mated to another werewolf and the moon goddess had never assigned a human or vampire mate to a werewolf. A werewolf couple had the strongest bond and one's emotions greatly influenced their partner.
Although her husband had taken in some human concubines to strengthen his position, he shared a bond with her that those concubines didn't. And as she had expected, the duke was already shaking with anger. Alpha Robert was not only Leanna's brother but also a strong ally for the duke. If one day the duke had to get rid of his father, the alpha would be one of his main supporters.
Duke Jehl stood up furiously. He had decided to punish the rascal for all the troubles she had caused over the years. Instead of being grateful that she was given a beautiful courtyard to live in and provided all the facilities, she was out harming their important guests and scaring the servants.
So what if her father was the eldest son and next patriarch of the family? He died long ago and so did his wife. If not for his father protecting that good for nothing omega till now, the duke would have long sent her away to the mountains using her aura as an excuse. Their father, Aurelia's grandfather was already old and eventually it would be Jehl taking over the Einar legacy. He should be the sole owner of Einar mansion and it was his right to take decisions for unnecessary people living in his mansion without bringing any benefit in.
But what could he do? His father had not handed him the position of head of the Einar family yet and every time he tried to send the bundle of curse away, his father intervened threatening to disown him. Till now, he had been waiting to get his father to announce him the next patriarch of the family but attacking his allies? He decided to not wait anymore.
So what if she had a toxic aura that could be harmful for any Alpha or Beta? If a hundred alphas attacked her simultaneously, they could exhaust her aura before abducting her to bring to the Great mountain. He will pay for all the tonics and medicines that they will be needing afterwards. Making the decision, he glanced at his family and spoke, "you people continue eating. I will eat after I have made arrangements for the little rascal.
Madam Leanna tried to hide her smirk at the duke's words while her daughter sitting across didn't even try to hide the satisfied smile on her lips. The mother-daughter duo had been humiliated many times at the wretched girl's hands. Since they could not harm her directly, the duke's decision to send her away had brought them a tremendous amount of satisfaction.
But before they could even celebrate the victory, Aziel pushed his chair to go stand in front of the duke. His human mother tried to call him back in a hushed tone but he didn't pay heed to her warnings.
"Father, what are you planning?"
