Chapter 5 - Your nothing

Esme's POV

I'm on my way to work when I get stopped by Adeline. I can't be dealing with her right now my hearts to heavy to listen to her whining about something.

"Oh poor Esme. Dylan rejected you because he didn't want you so you try to make him jealous by showing up to work with a smile on your face"

I turn around waiting for her to carry on but she doesn't, she's stood there trying to make me break. It's working but I certainly won't allow her to see that. Dylan's walking towards the door and I kindly ask her to move.

"If you don't mind Adeline I have work to do"

"I do mind. And its Luna to you"

Alpha Dylan approaches us and is glaring daggers my way like I have done something wrong. What could i have possibly done to him this time?

"I told you not to come into work tonight its for guests and work members." He says so coldly.

"I am working." I tell him while looking at the floor. "It's only 4:45 alpha I said I would work until 7. Elisa told me she didn't want me slacking so I wont. I will stay out of your way I promise"

"You better bitch" Adeline says which makes me feel more nervous.

I'm on pots duty tonight and I've already had a beating from some of the maids. Charlotte's the worst when she fights because she sure can fight and I'm as weak as anything so her kicks to the stomach and the punches to my face hurts like a bitch.

"Why are you hitting me? I have never done anything to you" I ask pleading for her to stop which angers her more because she throws another kick to my ribs and I am certain I heard a crack. Alana is to weak to help me heal It's going to take a long as I'm weak in energy as it is and she cant heal me when she is also weak. She has her claws out and is growling at me. I haven't shifted yet so I am not able to emerge from human to wolf form yet so I am to take every scratch and beating that comes my way.

"You exist. That's enough to make anyone want you gone. Maybe someone will take you and finish off the job easily"

'Charlotte Mackavore. The Best friend of the one and only Adeline pierce. Not only do they enjoy shopping together but they also love to tag team on me in attempts on making my life hell'

After a few minutes I stumble to the ground taking a whole load of plates with me and glasses. they smash all over the floor leaving me laying on piles and piles of glass. The shards have sliced my hands and my legs open and I hear voices behind me and I already know that this isnt the end of my torment tonight.

"WHAT THE HELL HAVE YOU DONE" Elisa's voice booms through the kitchen.

I'm too embarrassed to look at her and all's I can do is apologise.

"I'm so sorry. I didn't mean to break them i just lost my footing"

"Yeah. She lost her footing the clumsy mutt"

I start growling without realising I am doing it and I hear Alpha Dylan's voice. Even though he rejected me I can still smell his faint smell.

"What's all this shouting for. we have guests here and what is she doing on the fucking floor"

"I'm sorry Alpha" Elisa starts speaking. "I heard a commotion and I rushed in thinking someone was hurt and I see Esme on the floor with my bran new pots smashed beside her.

"Clean it up mutt and get out. I don't want to see you here tonight. And if I ever hear you have been disrespecting my staff I'll not hold back on any torment I choose to give. Is that clear?"

I nod. Thinking he would just go away. It's bad when I have to wait until he's gone to look back up, its even worse when I wish we didn't have him as Alpha.

"ANSWER ME. DO I MAKE MYSELF CLEAR"

"Yes alpha"

with that. the prick storms of and I am happy that I only have half an hour until I am done.

Dylan's POV

I make my way back to my office were My dad (Former Alpha Bobby Langley) My mother (Luna Rose) and the Alpha from 2 different packs conversing about treaty's. On one side we Have Alpha mark of the moonlight Pack and on the other side we have Alpha Jaxon from the Midnight pack.

Alpha Mark: "Do you always talk to your staff like that?2

I'm caught off guard forgetting that they could hear everything and i try to make an excuse for myself.

"Not usually no. we have been having some issues with one of our workers. She's a little difficult sometimes and doesn't like to listen"

Alpha Mark: "Before I am happy with taking on one of your workers as a worker for me I want to view the whole place tonight before the party starts at 9 o'clock.

I look at my dad and he nods his head in approval.

Alpha Mark: If you have to keep looking at your father for approval, why are you an Alpha to begin with?

"Excuse me?" I say without hiding my irritation.

Alpha Mark: As an Alpha you have to be bold enough to make choices. I have been Alpha of my pack for 6 years and not once did I feel like I needed approval. This is what the training should have provided you with. The confidence your lacking.

"I'm sorry but you come into MY pack and talk to me like I am a child? How dare you?"

Alpha Mark stands up, He's got a look in his eyes that makes me feel nervous to be around.

Alpha mark: I am simply implying something here Alpha. I am not treating anyone here like a child. I came here because its the annual ball for this year and not only that but YOU alpha Dylan invited me here to work on a treaty with you and your pack. You invited US here for help so don't you come at me with insults and kiddie tantrums because I can quite easily walk out of this door without even worrying about what's going to happen and you are left with maybe one person. And that maybe all depends on how YOU treat him as well. So I would advice you to knock it back a bit"

After finding my self obeying to another Alpha in MY pack we continued with our reasoning for the meeting. I have never needed to have a treaty and neither did my father. I don't know why but we just hit lucky with the rogues. We didn't have a problem with them at all and then we started noticing a few on our boarders which wasn't welcoming for us nor them.

"Right so after today You will be taking Esme, Alpha Jaxon if that's okay with you? I can get her to pack her bags and be ready by morning."

Alpha Jaxon: "Alpha Langley. May I know why you want to basically sell a worker who has only ever know her life in this pack?"

"Can you care to explain"

The asshole has only been alpha for a few weeks and yet he's sitting here like he's royalty and we're to bow down to him and explain ourselves over everything.

Okay if he wants it I'll give it to him.

Alpha Jaxon: " I have had people who are in their 20's, 30's and possibly higher who have been in this pack since they were born. Their families and ancestors have been in this pack and I wouldn't dream to trade one for a treaty. Let alone one who is a supposedly troubled and doesn't listen or even starts fights. You're her Alpha can you not control your staff and have the same respect for those as you seek to find ?"

"Listen Alpha Jaxon. I understand 100% where you're coming from but I don't have the time to try and tame her. Her family didn't want her due to those reasons"

"Please think on it. I will be available all evening for you to chat with me and ask me about my staff. Now if you'll excuse me I need to get going."

Alpha Jaxon: "I'll take her back to my pack on one condition"

"What's that Alpha?"

"You need to sort all of this out. If your staff is not able to submit to their Alpha and if they cannot follow instructions as per see then you're not a leader to begin with. I have ran my pack with no additional help for almost 4 years. This pack house is too small to withhold how many people do you have?"

"A little over 140"

Alpha Jaxon: "a little over 140? Are you seriously telling me that a pack that is on average of 300+ you're over half your average?"
