"Disown me?! Ma???"
"Yes, disown you, divorce you as my daughter, whatever it is, you will no longer be my daughter. I am tired of having to worry about when your next punishment will be even when you haven't done anything wrong. I always have to be the one that'll have to go through the pain of witnessing my daughter being whipped to near death. If you continue with this the Alpha will not hesitate to kill you, and i don't want to be there to witness it."
" I am sorry for all the pain that I put you thorough, mama. But I have to do this, something is going on and I can't ignore it. If I have to die so I can figure out the truth, then, so be it. I am tired of living this life, a life where everything that we do is dictated by one man and his entourage. This is not the life I am destined for."
Mom quickly turns to me, her face stern, and her eyes red with anger and disappointment with hints of heartache. "Do you think that the black folk all over the world love being slaves, huh? That they want to be starving for days, sometimes weeks? Or that they enjoy getting whipped with whips laced with silver and wolf's bane? No one wants that life, but they have to accept it because nothing can be done about it! Since you choose to go ahead with this plan of yours and have little care about your life and mine, as well as your father's, from this day you are no longer my Azaniah! My daughter would never do anything that would bring harm to her family! " And with that she stood up and went to the pantry.
My wolf came forward in my mind trying her best to comfort me. "I am sorry Azaniah, our parents will soon see the reason why we have to do this"
Ashanti said this as if she is trying to convince herself instead of me and that caused me worry to skyrocket through the ceiling.
"How are we supposed to do this alone, my Mate doesn't want me. I have no friends. Our parents disowned us. We have no one on our side. I am starting to think that the moon goddess has also abandoned us too"
I heard the party in the next room stand up as they leave to go to the Alpha's office to better discuss things without disturbances. As soon as they left I quickly rushed to the dining room to clear the table and continue washing the dishes.
After washing the dishes I rush to go stand at the Alpha's office door with some cleaning supplies that I placed on the floor right next to me and wait to be called by him, also because I want to "clean the office" as soon as they leave.
The office is a great place to start to look through and then the Alpha and Luna's room. From there I don't know where else to go, but I'll figure that out later.
They continue talking for hours and hours. My feet hurt from the standing. These low heels are killing me, and I can't take them off because of the stupid orders that the Luna gave me earlier this morning. It's dark outside and they are still talking?!.
My wolf is very antsy and it's very distracting. I mean, sure, we haven't gone out to run in wolf form in over two months now, but now is not a good time for that.
The door opens and I immediately bend low in a bow as a way of submission and wait for everyone to vacate the office.
The king's Beta looks at me with sympathy in his eyes and quickly adverts his attention to the people in front of him that are talking softly. I stay bent over until I can't see or hear them at a distance. I hurriedly grab the bucket and cleaning supplies and enter the office and close it. First, I start grabbing the disinfectant and spray some on the table and wipe it, in case someone enters, the scent of the disinfectant will make them think that I am cleaning instead of going through the Alpha's office.
After wiping the desk. I begin my quest and start searching everywhere, the desk drawers, the shelves, on top of the shelves, the book case. Opening every book that looked suspicious. Until I got to one that had a lock, I could easily break it using my claws and a bit of strength, the problem is the silver. I shake the book/safe thing to see if I can figure out if there is something inside. And indeed there is, sounds like a key. A key to another safe or hidden room? Or a key to a drawer? I put the book underneath the shelf and start searching for a hidden door or safe on the wall. My hands pulling and pushing back every book on the book in the shelf.
And then the shelf divides itself into 2 as it slides open, reaveling a huge silver door, that looks heavy. Something tells me that everything that I am looking for is in there.... and the key into that room is in that book. I can't be reckless. I need a solid plan and a bit of patience. I look at the clock that is on the opposite wall and realise that I've been in here for 10minutes and So, I need to put everything back to the way it was and use a lot of bleach and disinfectant on the things that I touched. Only after doing all of that will I really start cleaning.
An hour and 30 minutes later
The door opens, the Beta and Alpha enter. Both looking very furious. The Alpha stands before me and grabs me by my neck. Forcing me to stand up from my kneeling position. "You bitch, have I not warned you earlier to not embarrass me? Have I not told you that, should you embarrass me in front of my guests you will be punished? Huh, bitch!"
Afraid of what the Alpha will do me, I've never seen him this angry before and that's scary. "F-forgive me-I Alpha pleases..." I say as I try to pry his hands off my neck. His grip getting stronger and I feel that his claws are extending. I can't die yet, please.
"Forgive You?! Never, what you've done might have cost me millions of dollars. You slimy bitch! " He had this crazed look on his face as he growled at me and threw to the floor.
"Carry her and take her to the cells I will join you in a bit" he commanded the beta.
Hearing him say that caused me to get on my kneels and crawl towards him and beg "Cells? Alpha pleases. I'm sorry. Forgive me please. I'm sorry. I'm so sorry".
Beta drags me off the floor and out of the office, "Shut up bitch! You wouldn't want to make your punishment worse by waking up our guests by causing a scene. " Violently shaking my head and allowing the beta to drag me out of the house.
We walk around the house and then straight into the woods for a few minutes which felt like seconds. There is a guard standing at the door, he opens it when he sees the beta and I approach him. The scent of blood and rotting flesh gets to me as we descend the stairs
