6- Hot Juliet

Alessandra Benjamin:

We all were in the middle of the meeting when she entered the hall.  She smiled when her eyes fell on my husband.

I ignored her and kept listening to Beta Russel.

We were about to host the annual ball. Each year, a pack was given the opportunity to do it. This year, it was our turn. In my previous life, I did not show any interest in it, as a result, it was held in the neighboring pack.

It did not leave a good impression on Alpha king and he was not happy about it. But this year I wanted it at my packhouse.

We needed to host it. In the future, if Juliet would do something against my pack, I needed all the neighboring packs and Alpha King to witness my pack’s strength.

All of them along with Alpha King could come forward to stop her. They could try to knock some sense in my lovesick husband’s thick skull.

Though I had never met Alpha King, he was known for keeping his word.

“We need to prepare our guest floor for a comfortable stay for Alphas, Lunas, Betas, their mates, the warriors. Also, we better start working on that separate wing quarter that can be assigned for Alpha King. I need someone responsible. Someone who can be trusted without making a tiny mistake.”

I ran my eyes over my pack members when my eyes stopped on her.

“Mrs. Collins. Will you take the responsibility?” Nobody was expecting me to even consider it. Everyone knew how two of us despised each other.

But lately, things seemed to change among us.

“Gladly, my Luna.” She bowed her head with a smile.

“David! Emma! You two are assigned for the feasts. Design the menu for each meal. Get it approved by me. Delegate the chores to other Omegas.”

“Yes, Luna.” They both seemed excited.

Then I turned to the Drama Juliet. Last time when I was busy taking care of my skin and hair she had been busy fixing my husband.

“What are you going to do, Juliet?” She was not expecting this attack.

“Me?”

“Yeah. You! Everyone from the pack is participating and trying to be useful. You don’t belong to my pack but you are living with us. I will expect you to do something better than …”

Than to screw my husband in private. I did not speak the last part but the way I threw a sarcastic smile toward my husband, all the pack members did get what I meant to say.

And … that seemed to offend him a great deal.

“She doesn’t know what to do. She is new to our pack.”

“I know, honey.” I said sweetly, “She might be a newcomer but didn’t you tell us that she used to be an Omega? Omegas do know how to work. Look around you. Look at me!”

“After becoming a Luna, you did forget that you were an Omega, Alessandra. And you stopped working.” The whole room became quiet after that.

A pin drop silence.

I could not say anything because he was telling the truth.

“Alpha Romeo!” Mrs. Collin's voice carried respect for the Alpha but it was firm, “whatever she did in past doesn’t nullify what she is trying to do now.” Being an elderly member had its own perks.

“As a Luna, she is trying to do something good for the pack. If being a Luna, she can come out of her comfort zone so can others.” Her eyes were on Juliet. Now all the members were nodding their heads in agreement.

Romeo cleared his throat after recovering from his shock. Nobody had dared to call him out on his behavior.

But Mrs. Collins and Dr. Sebastian were exceptions.

I covered his hand with mine.

“Romeo. This is our pack and every one of us is supposed to work here and earn respect. Believe me. I have learned it the hard way. I am trying to give her the respect that she deserves. You can ask your pack members not to speak ill of Juliet. But if you want to rule their hearts then you need to treat everyone equally. Whether it’s me or Juliet.” Then I smiled at Juliet, “Right, Juliet?”

She knew there was nothing left to speak.

“So tell me. What do you want to do? Do you know kitchen chores?” I found it strange when she shook her head. As an Omega, she was supposed to know everything about housekeeping and the kitchen.

“They never assigned me these kinds of jobs.” She was chewing her lower lip now trying to look innocent and pitiful.

“But you said that you were a suppressed Omega. What you used to do throughout the day?” Here! Something was fishy.

She stammered a little when she found Romeo waiting for her reply.

 I … I … used to … clean … few … nicks and corners …”

Everyone was frowning by now, not understanding. But I knew exactly what I was supposed to do.

“Oh. You mean bathrooms? Now you should not be ashamed of doing bathrooms. Even I used to do it before I became a Luna.”

She did not know how to respond when Emma spoke from the crowd, “My Luna. I can help her in doing that. I will give her cleaning supplies and she can do it with Ava.”

 

I nodded my head and shrugged, “See? How easy it was. So now everything is sorted out. Let’s serve the drinks.”      

I wanted to laugh loudly. But wait… it was not over. When David poured my favorite champagne into my glass, as expected, she extended her glass.

David was skillfully carrying three champagne bottles in his left arm. Bowing his head he poured it into her glass.

I did not forget to raise a questioning brow at him. In answer, he nodded his head telling me silently that he had done the job.

Good going, David!

When I was casually drinking from my glass and waiting for it to happen, I heard a glass, shattering beside me.

My eyes went wide when I found Drama queen opening her blouse buttons. She was sweating profusely.

“Oh, God. Juliet, are you alright?” I asked her worriedly. But she stood up, panting and looking around for something.

The pack’s Gamma, Hilton reached to her for help, “You don’t seem alright, ma’am.”

Romeo was on his feet to reach her when something unexpected happened.

Juliet held Gamma Hilton’s head and placed her hot, wet lips right on his mouth!
