A couple of weeks after the new intruder had moved in, Maria had began to grow suspicious and still fight more and more for her territory.
It was such a disgrace that she as the Luna T the pack was at odds with a mere slave.
It infuriated her.
She knew of course that she could not confront her husband because he wanted to hear absolutely nothing about it.
She grew frequently angry with the other servants and no one wanted to cross her path.
They all avoided her the best way possible .
On the other hand Red was friendly and all smiles with them.
They welcomed her, she worked and laughed with them and it burned Maria to see that all she had worked hard for had simply gone in the blink of an eye.
The woman was beautiful and everything she was not.
Since Red’s arrival she had barely had the chance to sleep with her husband.
Even though he was now much more frequently at home.
He did not for raids and combat personally anymore.
He sent his gamma and stayed more at home .
At first Maria had been delighted that her husband was now spending more time at home and that meant that he would spend more time with her.
But to he greatest horror, he barely even had any time for her.
He was training and seeing to the pack and she highly suspected that he was even staying behind because he wanted to spend more time with Red.
The one time she had tried to confront him, he had outright denied it and pointed out what she had done on Red’s first day in the house.
So she poured her anger in the people she could and slowly began to reveal her tyrant self.
One day she was marching past the halls to berate a kitchen staff for how she had handled Kitchen utensils when she passed by Red’s door.
Something told her to stop and peek.
The door itself was slightly opened.
She hesitated for a moment and decided why not?
Then she very gently walked to the door and put her ears.
It was Red speaking with someone.
Her gossip arose and she decided to do more and so quietly opened it a bit.
She was shocked to find it was none other than her very own husband with Red.
She froze but decided to still watch and overhear their conversation.
"How do you feel?" He asked her.
Red sighed heavily as she was seated on a chair and Bale was seated right across her pouring himself a drink like it was something he was used to.
"Horrible." Red admitted weakly.
"Which part?" He asked. "Your health or the new surroundings."
Health? Maria wondered what did he mean by health.
Red laughed. "Both but the new surroundings in particular. I am worried about your wife."
