Three
CARLA’S POV.
I inhaled deeply before stretching my right hand to knock on his door. The music blaring loudly from inside. I adjusted the bowl in my hand containing the wines and twisted the knob, pushing it open.
I tried to avoid eye contacts as I walked over to the big table in the middle of them all. It was Alpha Dawson’s friends. They were having an night hangout or so they called it.
I placed the bowl on it and took the wines in it out, placing them on the table.
“ Who brings wine without cups?.” I heard a feminine voice say but I ignored.
“ Only a dumbass, I guess.” Another of his friends said.
I ignored them all and walked towards the cabinet in the far end of the room to pick some wine cups up then head back to the table. There were just spoilt rich brats that lacked manners. All they ever did was drink and party. Just like him.
“ Pour me some wine.” A female wolf said and I looked up to see her sitting beside Alpha Micheal, one of the powerful Alphas in the kingdom, on his right while another sat on his left. She was a blonde and she had on a skimpy black dress.
Alpha Dawson was no where in sight.
“ Okay Ma’am.” I responded and passed a cup to her. “ Which of the wines, Ma’am?.” I asked.
“ Pinot.” She responded and I picked it up, twisting its top with the wine opener. Soon it was off and I poured her some.
“ Pour some for me too.” The deep masculine voice ordered. I knew it was Alpha Micheal, one of the most dreaded and most hated male so I do all in my power to not look at them or look them in the eyes. Because It was against the rules of the kingdom to do so since we were Omegas.
I picked up a cup for him and stretched it out to him. He stretched his right hand to take it and his skin comes in contact with mine.
I held my breathe and let go of it when the cup is finally in his palm. Picking the wine, I poured him some.
“ It’s okay.” He said and I placed the wine back on the table.
“ I will take my leave now, Alphas.” I said looking down.
I heard him chuckle loudly.
“ Stay on that side till we need your service no more.” He ordered.
I opened my mouth to say something, to tell him I want to leave but instead, I say nothing and step aside.
I tried not to look their way while wondering how long I had to stay there for.
I watched from my side view as the blonde got up on her feet and started to dance while standing in front of him.
“ Twerk for me!.” Alpha Micheal ordered and she did as told, bouncing her butt on his laps.
His hands found her butts and he held it firmly.
“ What are you looking at?.” A masculine voice said and I turned my head to see, Max. One of the youngest Alphas in the kingdom.
“ Nothing, Sir.” I responded coldly.
“ What’s your name?.” He asked as his eyes ran over my body. It felt as though he had peeled off my clothes with his prying eyes.
“ Carla.” I responded coldly, trying to keep my distance since his breathe reeked of alcohol.
“ Dance with me.” He ordered.
I raised a brow to look at him.
“ Not interested.” I replied rudely while trying to be polite. I knew he would leave soon all I had to do was ignore him just I do to the others every time a thing like this comes up. They were all the same, ranging from the Alpha himself to his friends. They all acted alike and think alike.
He let out a dry laugh.
“ I never asked.” He responded and dragged me by my left arm. “ Dance with me now!.” He ordered.
“ Still not interested.” I replied and looked away, not ready to have any more conversation with him.
I could feel Alpha Micheal’s eyes on me as though he was an eagle but I pretended to have no knowledge of it so I tried not to look his way.
“ You should dance for us after all that’s what your kinds are for. Pure satisfaction and entertainment.” Alpha Micheal said with a chuckle and I formed my fists together out of anger.
“ You should dance with me. Servants like yourself are puppets for my kind.” Max said and I looked his way to send him an angry glare.
Was this what he had told them? I meant Alpha Dawson? Did he tell them that I was just the same as Joyce was? That I was just his puppet too?.
I wondered.
“ Please leave.” I said still trying to be polite. Although deep down I wanted to hit him till he passed out but I knew that disrespecting those in power had its own consequences.
“ What’s happening here?.” I heard him question. His eyes keenly on Max.
I had not noticed him walk in. I meant Alpha Dawson. It made me wonder where he had gone off to at first.
“ This useless maid here refuses to dance with me so I had to put her in her place.” He responded accompanied by a laugh. “ You should have seen her face when..”
His words trailed off the minute Alpha Dawson landed an heavy blow on his cheek. A reaction I had never expected.
Why was he suddenly doing this? Why was he suddenly pretending to be different from any of them?.
I watched him as Max placed his hand on his cheek, widening his mouth and closing it and the sight of it made me want to laugh out loud right in his face.
He scoffed before stepping closer.
“ What was that for?.” He questioned.
“ Well…only I have the right to discipline my servants.” Alpha Dawson responded.
Max tuts.
“ Is that why you slapped me? You hit me for her. A commoner like her.” He scorned.
“ Like I said, only I have the right to discipline my staffs so mind what you say.” He repeated again, rather too calmly.
Staffs!.
So that was what we were. Just some staffs that only him could order around.
I immediately knew that it had to be it. It had to be the reason he was standing her staring angrily at his friend. Because Max was not him.
“ Or else what?.” He dared and moved closer to me. “ Would you beat me for her?.” He asked.
“ You could try me and see.” Dawson replied.
Max clenched the teeth and sent him an angry cold stare then turned towards me before walking out of the room.
“ That wasn’t right, Dawson. We are friends. You shouldn’t treat your friends like that.” Talia said.
“ It’s my kingdom and my rule,” He yelled, his anger evident.
Talia tuts.
“ You never change. Still arrogant and so full of himself.” She said and picked up her small White bag then walked out of the room.
“ Who else wants to leave? You can do that now.” He yelled angrily and I got so surprised that he was going this far.
I watched them all leave, picking their things one after the other.
“ You shoved me out of the way..for her.” Raina said and eyed Carla hatefully. “ You will be back begging…very soon.” She added and stormed out of the room.
I watched him drag in a breathe then let it out with his mouth formed in an O. He ran his fingers through his hair and turned to look at me.
“ I’m so sorry that he…”
I stared at him, disgusted and irritated that he would act so innocent. I finally summoned courage to put him back in his places
“ I never asked you to defend me. I can defend myself.” I snapped at him, angry and pissed that he would decide to use me in a way he pleased.
He rolled his eyes at me.
“ I just saved you. You can at least say thank you.” He said, his angry glare on me.
Did I just hear him right? Did he just claim that he saved me? Was it from a trap he had set himself? A bet he had made with his friends? Wasn’t that why he had left the room for them?.
“ Thank you?.” I scoffed. “ But I never asked for your help.” I yelled angrily at him, eyeing him badly.
He scoffed.
“ I had to help you..” He paused and it made me wonder why.
“ I never asked for your help.” I said to him, my voice now calmer than before as I rolled the words off my lips slowly then walked out before he could give a response.
