"And I gladly appreciate the offer my lord." Red said. "But there are so many other servants like me who had suffered cruel fates. I am no different. Please understand where I am coming from my lord."
All the pleading, all the pretense and all the fake attitudes of being genuine and modest only made Maria more jealous and enraged.
she turned and saw that all who were in the room had seen how he had barely even regarded her and then felt it was shame and then rage.
"So what would you desire?" He asked her.
She shook her head. "Something simple my lord. Not too much. Something that regular servant would have."
He seemed to be deep in thought and no one said anything.
Eventually he sighed heavily and gave in.
"Alright." He said. "But I will give you a room not with the other servants. A simple room as you have said."
Red curtseyed. "Thank you my lord. I am truly grateful."
Maria who had had enough of it would have loved to storm out of the room.
But because of her decorum and because she knew better, she simply curtseyed and said.
"My lord." She said. "I would please like to see that I attend to other matters of the pack."
He nodded barely even acknowledging her presence.
It further fueled her anger and rage to Red.
She carried her head well over her shoulders and then put her nose in the air as she trooped out unable to stand what was occurring.
She stormed towards her bedroom chamber and came across Bernice, who was the head house keeper.
"My lady." Bernice curtseyed.
It further fueled her anger.
She was looking for somewhere to dispel her rage. freewebnσvel.cѳm
Her anger and frustration and so she grabbed Bernice’s arm and hauled her around and gave her a very dirty slap.
Bernice and the other servants who had been passing around gasped.
They had never ever seen the new Luna of the pack behave in such a manner.
She was all always sweet and smiles.
The truth was Maria was an up tight and self righteous and horrid young girl.
She simply concealed her true self because she had moved to a new family.
But now that the cat has been let out of the bag, all hell had finally broken loose and now they all saw her for who she was.
"How dare you?!" She barked. "The Alpha addressed you on quarters for a servant before hand and you kept it away from me?! I am the wife and Luna of this pack! How dare you keep such secret for me."
Bernice who had been seemingly very shocked and in absolute disbelief held her hand to her burning cheek.
"My lady." She said. "Servant? I do not understand."
Maria glared at her further enraged.
"What?! Are you now calling me a liar?" She demanded.
