| watched as Alpha Dimitri walked out of his office, his eyes meeting mine from the distance, and | looked down at my feel, avoiding his gaze as | feared getting on his bad side. The number of times that it has happened was enough to make me not want to deal with more of it, and though knowing him, | knew that it might be impossible to escape whatever his wrath was, | knew to lay low.
The anger that | could tell he felt frightened me, and | knew not to trigger him into getting annoyed with me. It was one thing to know that he hated me, but a completely different thing when it was about those that meant anything to me.
However, to my surprise, rather than walking toward the front door or the staircase, the man walked toward me. His eyes met mine, and | looked down at my feet as he stood in front of me, his b*dy towering over mine. My heart raced, and | clenched my fist as | feared what he was going to tell me after he got up from the dining table the way that he did.
“Did you eat anything?” He asked, and | gulped before nodding. The fear that | had from Charlotte doing something to harm me now that she was in charge of the kitchen worried me, but | knew that she wouldn’t be as stu pid as to do so when she was in this situation. He nodded and took a step back, heading toward the door, and | knew that if | didn’t say a word to try and change something, things were not going to be fixing themselves.
“Do you want to get something to eat? You got up before you did?” | asked, and thankfully, the Alpha stopped, not moving as he had his back to me. “I am willing to cook for you if you would allow me. And you needn't worry, | know how to use a knife and pan when | need to.”
He didn’t say a word for a few seconds, and | looked away from him, knowing that not only would he be rejecting my offer, but considering his silence, he might choose to actually either respond with an insult or just walk out on me.
“What do you have in mind to make?” He asked, making my eyes widen in surprise. He turned to face me, and | was quick to contort my expression as | forced myself to hide the smile that formed on my I*ps.NôvelDrama.Org owns all content.

“Whatever it is that you want me to make you.” | said, not looking up at the man. “I am not familiar with what you your kitchen, but | think that | can manage making something if you would have a specific preference.”
“Surprise me.” He said, and | looked at him, watching as he took a step back. “I will be waiting for you in my office.”
He walked toward the office, and | watched as he closed the door before looking down at my hands as they shook in surprise. The last thing that | expected from him was to actually have him accepting such an offer from me. And the fact that he didn’t s snap at me was something that | was more than a little thankful for.
| turned to walk into the kitchen only for my eyes to meet Charlotte’s for a second. She glared at me, but | was sure not to meet her gaze as | turned my attention to the headmistress as she approached me.
“How we may we help you, Luna? Is there anything that you would like to request?” She asked, and | smiled. Charlotte heaved in a heavy breath, and it took me a moment to realize that it was because of the fact that | was just called Luna. My heart raced and | nodded.
“Alpha Dimitri has requested that | cook something for him. He is yet to eat anything and | would like to know the ingredients that can work with as well as what he would be preferring.” | said, and the headmistress smiled. Mariana’s met mine and she smiled, shaking her head as she saw Charlotte’s reaction.
“You are not going to be cooking for the Alpha.” She said, taking me off guard. “There are rules in this place and no one aside from the kitchen staff is to be cooking for the Alpha...”

“She is the pack’s Luna, and you as a maid would be respecting what she requests.” The headmistress said, stopping Charlotte. My eyes widened in surprise as she took a step toward the two of us, but the headmistress turned to face her, you glaring daggers at the woman, challenging her to approach. “One more step forward and | am going to be sure that spend the next three nights in the dungeon with no food or water for the next two days. And believe me, the rats in there are not a pretty sight to see or spend the night with
“Who the f**k do you think you are to be speaking to me this way? Do you know who | am?” She asked, and the
headmistress nodded.
“Yes, you are the consort that has been demoted to a kitchen maid.” She said, making my chest burn for the woman. She turned her gaze to me before shaking her head. “I do suggest that YOU remember your limits before | am forced to remind you of them.”
The maids around looked at the woman before she turned her gaze to me. My heart raced, and Mariana, who was now standing beside me, wrapped her hand around my arm, pulling me back slightly.
“It is only a matter of time before | return to my position as my mate’s lover, and believe me, the last thing that you are going to want to deal with | my wrath. But judging by the looks of it, it seems to me that order is going to be setting itself once again when things have gotten back to normal. And | will be sure that all of you pay for this.” She said, keeping her eyes on mine. My heart raced and she shook her head. “Enjoy your light while it lasts. You know, it is common for weaklings like yourself to believe that they will be something that they are not. However, | will give you the benefit of liking it. It seems to me that you will be deprived from it soon enough...”
| opened my mouth to respond but the woman simply scoffed before taking a step back, leaving the kitchen as she walked out of it. My heart raced against my chest and | looked down at my feet for a second too long before the headmistress cleared her throat, motioning for all the maids to go back to what they were doing.
“My apologies for the inconvenience, Luna.” She said, looking at me with gentle eyes that would have made a crying child calm down. “You were telling me that you wanted to cook something for the Alpha...”
