Chapter 2

Roberta's POV:

Today was the day I was to leave, somehow I woke up and forgot all about Alpha Narcisse asking Alpha Sebastian to take me with him. His beta, Beta Manuel nicely reminded me when I nearly had a panic attack from seeing my things, or what was left of it outside the palace doors.

But just to try my luck, I thought to talk to Elijah, maybe he could reverse this verdict. Even if it would be out of spite, I was willing to take that risk. What is the worst that could possibly happen anyway?

After all I have heard of Alphas who rejected their moon blessed but kept them around the pack. I was willing to risk it.

“Are you out of your fucking mind? Why do you think you can come in here in the first place? Did you hear me stutter when I rejected you? Get out of my sight, at least have the decency to go with the person that wants you for whatever reason!" Elijah said to me so heartlessly that I ran out of his room. This just got so much worse.

Just as I ran out of the ballroom where he rejected me and declared Charlotte his Luna.

I bumped into a petite person who didn't let me through even after I had apologized. It was Lucia, the only person besides her family who has looked at me and seen a person not an omega or a gold digging bitch as I have been labeled in this pack.

“Robby! Come here, I heard you were going with Alpha Narcisse. I just need ten minutes and I'll be ready to go with you." Lucia said to me.

“You weren’t invited." A voice said from behind her and Lucia turned with her signature glare.

“I would love to see you stop me." Lucia said with her arms crossed over her chest. I thought Beta Manuel was going to flip out on the disrespect she was showing but he surprised me by laughing.

“The big boss has the final say on such things.” Beta Manuel said and walked away. Lucia scoffed before pulling me in the opposite direction. She immediately threw things into one of her boxes, things she labeled as essentials before tugging my arm and walking to the palace doors.

Alpha Narcisse was standing there but there was a scowl on his face as he checked the time. My bags were nowhere to be found. He seemed to be in a hurry for something, a meeting perhaps or maybe he just wanted to leave this goddess forsaking place as soon as possible.

“We are leaving now, ditch the extra.” Alpha Narcisse said and turned to open the door to the backseat of a very impressive car.

" I think not! Wherever she goes, I go or nobody goes anywhere!” Lucia yelled at the top of her voice, fear raced down my spine as Alpha Narcisse turned very slowly to look at her with blazing eyes.

" And you are?” Alpha Narcisse said to Lucia in a cold voice. I swear these people were trying to give me a heart attack. There was only so much show of dominance that my omega wolf could tolerate.

An involuntary whimper escaped my lips, immediately drawing Alpha Narcisse's attention. His eyes softened a little, maybe I was hallucinating it because his eyes returned to steel immediately.

" Get in, I don't want to stay here for a second longer." Alpha Narcisse said to Lucia who looked mightily pleased with herself. Then she turned to me and gave me a side hug. An amused Beta Manuel walked up to us and took her bag.

“You're riding me, oh sorry, you are riding with me." Beta Manuel said to Lucia who frowned but followed him to the passenger seat of the car that Alpha Narcisse was already inside.

Beta Manuel held the door for me until I entered.

The car ride was uneventful until the air suddenly became heavy. It was getting difficult to breathe. I thought it was just me until Lucia began to visibly struggle as well.

“Relax, the more you fight it the worse it becomes. We are close to home, it's a security measure that you'll adjust to quite quickly." Beta Manuel said from the driver's seat.

I noticed that a fog soon covered as the drive continued. Soon it gave way to a majestic view.

My eyes widened as I took in the scene before me. Everything looked like a scene out of a movie.

But all bets were off when we got to the palace. Lucia and I stood side by side gaping at the structure.

“Would you ladies fancy a little tour? I assure you it gets better when you step inside." Beta Manuel said to us, but for some reason I turned to look at Alpha Narcisse who had a blank look on. When he gave a sharp nod, we turned to Beta Manuel who looked amused.

We saw a lot of beautiful things but we're scared to touch anything, before we put a mark on it. Something Beta Manuel wasted no time in teasing us about.

The tour was forced to end when Alpha Narcisse was seen at the end of the hallway that we were currently touring.

“Come with me." Alpha Narcisse said and turned around. Lucia and I moved to follow him but Beta Manuel held her back.

“Not you, we are going this way." I turned to see Lucia walk away with Beta Manuel.

“This will be your bedroom." Alpha Narcisse said to me, it was obvious that he was struggling to be nice to me.

I walked into the room that called the one I was given at my former pack a hovel in multiple languages. But just as I turned around to say thank you to Alpha Narcisse, he said the most absurd thing ever.

“My room is next door and can be accessed through here. You are welcome anytime.”
