Aurora's POV
"You lazy fool. Why aren't you done?". She scoffed, taking a position beside the door.
"I am". I said, while pointing at the bucket of clean clothes.
"What! You have no right to talk back to me!". She yells, emptying the bucket on me.
"And you have no right to do such a thing to me!". My voice bore anger as I flung the wet cloth that wrapped my neck.
A thunderous slap clinged to my face before I could finish my statement.
"Guards!". She yelled.
"Yes Luna". A guard from behind came running.
"Make her kneel before the alpha this instant.".
The guard grabbed my left arm and pulled me to Alfred's chambers.
"Long live Alpha." He bowed and pushed me to the ground.
"What did she do this time?".
"Alpha! Alpha". Iza cried as she ran towards him.
"What's the problem, my Luna?". He held her hands.
"She!". Iza pointed her fingers toward me. Her eyes bore hatred.
"Have you suddenly gone dump? Will you speak up this instant?". He said it in an authoritative voice.
"If she refuses to speak up, I think we should do away with her." Iza quickly interrupted.
I held back my tears as I felt my heart breaking a hundred and one times. Iza and I were the most adorable cousins. She lost her parents at a young age, and since then we've been sisters and done everything together.
Little did I know she had a relationship with Alfred, my first love. I loved them both so much that I couldn't think of anything else.
Iza developed the habit of wanting everything I owned, but my parents and I didn't see it as something wrong since we were wealthy until Alfred came into my life.
Alfred and I were so bonded that we didn't care if we weren't each other's mates. We loved ourselves and promised each other not to attend the mating ceremony on our eighteenth birthday and get married after that.
"Iza, that wouldn't be necessary; a little punishment will do." Alfred opposed me and drafted me out of my thoughts.
"A little punishment? This brat here doesn't deserve to be alive!". Iza yelled.
I raised my eyes to meet hers. She didn't feel any guilt, and I had to believe all of it was planned. My parents' deaths! Overthroning me, it had to be someone's doing.
"Guard!". Alfred called.
"Yes Alpha".
"Send a message to every member of the park this instant. We will be having a very special occasion.".
"Right away, Alpha.".
"Thank you, my Alpha." Iza smiled as she took her leave and left me alone with Alfred.
"How does it feel?". He mocked, leaving a smirk on his face.
"Speak up!". He demanded, a groan appearing on his face.
