Slaved To The Alpha

After checking everything inside the venue, I still have to check how the preparations are going outside of the venue. I am not sure if I can even fulfill the responsibility of overseeing almost everything for the Annual Pack Gathering. But I have no other choice anyways, and so I just went outside to see how the crew in charge of the decorations and preparations outside are doing.

Then I saw some people messing up the carpet for the entrance outside. “I told you that the carpet should be red, why is this carpet blue? Are you colorblind or something?” I am actually too worried about how the event is going to turn out despite not wanting to be there in the first place.

The guy that is setting up the carpet became nervous the moment I talked to him. He is trying to find the words he wants to say but all he can do is to mumble.NôvelDrama.Org owns all © content.

“What? Did no one inform you that this is supposed to be red? I mean come on, this is already common sense, who walked to a red carpet while the actual carpet is blue?” I am scolding him, I am not exactly sure why he would think like this.

But before the situation got way overhand, someone grabbed me on my shoulder. “Grant, give the man a break.” He said to me as the voice sounded familiar.

The moment I turned around to see who it was, I was surprised. It was my beta, Greco. He is quite young too, only twenty years old. “Greco! I didn’t expect to see you here this early.” I completely forgot about the man that messed up the color of the carpet.

Greco just pulled me to the side and walked with me around outside of the venue. “Stop being so hot-headed, you’re going to stress yourself out.” He gave me advice about what I should do, but I couldn’t help it. Everything, the Annual Pack Gathering, the preparations and the people that messed up the preparation are all irritating to me.

“I know… I just… nothing, just nothing.” I can’t tell him what the problem is, so I just kept it to myself.

“You know what would get your mind off of these petty things? Your fate, meeting her in the ball, falling in love and living happily ever after.” He tried to get sarcastic with me.

I just laughed and chuckled. “Really? You too? Do you really believe in those fairytales? Please, I don’t believe in any of those.”

He looked at me like I was insane. “And what if you do meet the love of your life, the one truly to be your soul mate for life?”

I looked him in the eyes and looked serious for a moment. “If? If that does happen, which won’t obviously come true, I would just reject her, no matter who she was. No matter how she looks, how she acts, and her attitude. None of those will matter because I will just reject her the moment I meet her.” I told him what is inside of my head, what I am going to do the moment I meet her.

Greco laughed and called me dumb. “Are you seriously this dense? You’re willing to go that far just to be by yourself? You do know that rejecting the love of your life, your soul mate, would be a bad idea, right? And it would also bring bad luck to the pack, you know all of that, right?”

He started to act smart with me, but I don’t believe in anything about what he said. “Nope, I don’t believe in superstitions, sorry.” I just said to him with a straight face and just went in the other direction to check out the people preparing for the event.

Krisna’s POV

It was finally almost time for the Annual Pack Gathering, the moment the woman who treats me like garbage has been waiting for the moment she was told that she was invited to it. I myself wasn’t exactly excited since I had to come along with her, the nightmare of my life. I would’ve been willing to go if I was by myself or with someone else other than Asthrid… But I had no choice, I was just forced to come since I am her personal maid. “Krisna, where are you?! I am in a hurry!” Someone was calling my name again, I tried to find where her voice was coming from but I couldn’t find her location. A couple of minutes had then passed, the voice calling me earlier started to get louder and louder as each moment passed. I started to get frantic since the voice was pressuring me.

“Krisna! Why are you not here yet?! Where are you?!” I could hear the voice getting louder and louder, I searched almost every room in the mansion, but I could not find where the voice was coming from, then it hit me. I knew where she was.

I immediately headed to Asthrid’s bedroom, then I found her right there looking all angry and fuming with flames. She looked at me like I was some kind of monster, she wasn’t afraid of the monster, she was thinking of killing the monster. I couldn’t talk to her with her face like that, there was a moment of silence between us. “Krisna… How many times do I have to tell you that, you should know where I am?” She said to me in a gentle voice as she started to be calmer.

“No Asthrid… You must not get angry, remember what your father said, you could get a zit, or worse, an acne just before the Annual Pack Gathering, so just calm yourself and everything will be sorted out.” She said to herself as I heard her talking to herself, but she was able to calm herself alone, with no one else’s help.

Asthrid is delightful especially when it comes to cosmetics, she wouldn’t let anything happen to her looks, her image just before a huge event happens, she is sometimes a narcissist, I don’t know what goes on, in her mind during times like this but I know that it’s not other people. Even with her awful attitude, she just barely has any concern regarding other people other than herself.

“I’m sorry Ms. Asthrid, I was just doing something earlier and the mansion is actually so huge, your voice earlier sounded like they were bouncing off the walls and…” I acted all frantic so she won’t get irritated as much, it’s a tactic I’ve used for most of my service here, especially when Asthrid’s involved.
