Chapter 5

Naomi's POV

By the time the both of us looked from below upward the voice that had just spoken was Gabriel. 

"Brother, what the heck are the both of you doing?" He asks scoffing as he pocketed. 

 Ethan quickly stood up from me. 

"I don't understand. What are you getting at?" Ethan asked. 

"Is this really happening? Are they about to begin a fight because of you?" Nolly started again. 

"Nolly, please can you just shut the hell up?! This is not the time to speak trash!" I whispered, cautioning my wolf. 

"Brother I think you are more than this. How can you stoop so low to be with a maid? This is very disappointing. I'm sure our father will be disappointed…" Gabriel was cut short by Ethan who raised his hand but had brought it down after looking back at me who was shocked by his reaction. 

"You won't come here and rudely disrespect me, Gabriel! If you have an issue you will speak to me directly and not her!" He blabbed. 

"It seems we are back to our former state. Can't we just get you a mate and forget all about this maid life? Aren't you tired?" Nolly whimpered. 

"Nolly please can you be quiet for once?" I asked, feeling irritated. 

"You know the fact that she is a maid doesn't make her any less? And if you have a problem with me we will settle it outside and not here!" Ethan barked. 

"Why not here, huh? What exactly are you trying to hide? Are you scared that I'm going to make her pay for everything she has done to Elsa? She was the reason Elsa left the table and the reason why our father slapped me. So we can as well…" Gabriel approached me as he paused. 

"Tell me why you are so mean to this young lady sitting here. Can't you see she's hurt and in pain?" Ethan asked pointing his finger at me. 

"And so? Isn't it a normal thing for every maid to get hurt? Why is hers any different? Why are you trying to defend her? Is there something I need to know brother?!" Gabriel approached me and he shot Ethan a staring look. 

"I'm so sorry…" I didn't finish my statement when Gabriel barked at me. 

"You're such a fool! Nobody asked you to talk, did we?" He scoffed. 

"I thought…I don't just want the both of you fighting over…" he shot me a stern look. 

"Can you see what you just caused Ethan? Imagine this lowlife telling us that we're picking a fight over her. This tiny little late bloomer? You should go out and meet other maids. You can't sit here idly doing nothing. You should get up and do something for what you are being sheltered for!" Gabriel spoke rudely as tears pricked my eyes. 

"Sit Naomi! You're going nowhere!" Ethan commanded. 

"You know brother I do like a challenge when I see one. As you know I've never backed out from a challenge since when we were young. And you know the funniest thing about this is that I've always beat you to it!" He laughed out loud before facing me. 

"And did you know how that makes you look whenever you are done?" I watched him Pocketed as he moved closer to his brother. 

"How?" Gabriel asked. 

"It makes you look like a fool. It makes you look so pathetic that even the goddess feels your pain most of the time and that is why you are the only one left with our father waiting for his death so you could inherit his goddamn throne! You don't have a life and you've never worked for a single thing in your life, unlike the rest of us, your brothers. You've always gotten everything you wanted on a platter of gold and you feel like you can talk down to someone who has been working in the palace her whole life? Where is your conscience brother? Huh? Where is it?" Ethan asked. 

"I love this show." Nolly laughed in my head but it wasn't funny. Because right now I don't know what my fate is. Having two brothers fought because of me. 

"Now that you just spoke I think it's time for us to tell you your own story. Shall we?" Gabriel asked, looking at me and back to Ethan. 

"You don't have anything against me because I'm a hundred times better than you will ever be. And you will never be able to beat me even in thousands of years to come Gabriel! You have always been the black sheep in the family but we have only ignored you and this time around I won't because your cup is full!" Ethan shot back in anger. 

"I wonder why you came back from Canada?" I watched Gabriel smirk. " The fact that your stupid self is here…" he emphasized the word "stupid" as I heard a resounding slap land on his cheeks causing me to gather the bedsheet and shake in fear. 

"You will learn to speak to me in a good manner and not rudely!" Ethan charged. 

"What the hell did you just do?" Gabriel asked, his voice changing and I could hear his wolf sounding within him. 

"Both of you will stop this nonsense right this instant!" The Alpha's voice resonated through the air which had caused all of us to quiver as I tried to get out of my bed.  

"Father, I won't have your son disrespect me in this manner…it's high time he knew that I'm his older brother and he gets to speak to me with respect!" He shouted.  

The rest came along, Hunter and Logan as they all stared at me.

"Huh? What's happening? Why's everyone staring at you?" Nolly asked.  

"I have no idea Nolly. As it is now I think I'm scared." I whispered shivering as I tried to make my way out. 

"Don't tell me you guys are arguing over…" Logan paused. 

"Her?" Hunter asked. 

"And where do you think you are going?" Alpha Alex their father asked. 

Trouble is looming…how did I find myself in this situation?
