11. STUPID POWERS

Freya's POV

I kept pacing my room till I heard footsteps just outside my room that showed he was back. I quickly pretended that I was in panic and immediately the door opened, I jumped like I was startled. 

"Hey, I'm back." Ronald said, closing the door behind him. He walked towards me and I backed away in fear. 

"Freya, you okay?" He asked in concern. 

I nodded, still backing away from him. 

His eyes roamed the room and he frowned when he saw how scattered it looked. 

"What happened here?" Ronald asked and I could sense the anger coming from him. 

I shook my head "nothing." I muttered, visibly shaking. Ronald stared at me, it was clear I was lying to him and I let it show. 

Lilian didn't get in Kneed's graces by being strong and confident, she got it by looking pathetic. Men love it when women depended on them

"Tell me." He ordered and I shook my head. 

"What if they come back?" I asked my voice shaking. 

Ronald took a deep breath, probably to calm himself. 

"What if who comes back?" He asked. 

"The people who did this." I muttered, bowing my head. 

"Who did this, Freya!" Ronald yelled, clearly angry and I smirked secretly. 

"The maids!" I screamed out holding my head. 

"The maids, they don't like me. Can I leave. If your people don't like me, I'll gladly leave." I said, tears streaming down my face as I spoke. 

"Hey!" Ronald stepped closer, crouching down to my level. "I like you and who cares if they don't. Don't leave, alright." He said and I nodded. He offered his hand and I took it, he helped me up from the floor and placed me on the bed. 

"Why don't we teach them a lesson? Together?" He asked and I looked up at him, nodding. Of course I'm open to him teaching his subjects manners because of me. 

He took my hands, pulling me off the bed. I went on with his actions.

Just as we got outside my room, I pulled him to a stop. He turned to look at me, confusion in his gaze. 

"What if they decide to punish me when you are not around?" I whispered. 

Ronald chuckled and I wondered what was funny. "What's funny?" I muttered looking down on my feet. 

"You look cute." He said, taking me by surprise. 

Of all the things I expected him to say, that wasn't included. No man has ever called me cute, not even beautiful. I'm just that basic, plain girl you come across. 

"Don't tease me." I said and he grabbed my chin, bringing me to stare at him. 

"I'm serious, you're beautiful and cute when you're scared." He replied and I blushed red. I wanted to look down on my feet but he stopped me. "Never you bow your head when you're being spoken to." He said and shook my head. 

"I'm scared of staring into people's eyes." I stated. Was I scared of staring at people? No. But for quite a while now, whenever I stared at someone, I hear their thoughts. I told my aunt immediately it started and she had waved it off saying I was just hearing things. I believed her, but it didn't stop after that. I should probably stare at Ronald to know what he feel about me, he might actually be thinking the opposite of what he's doing. 

He tipped my face up again, bringing me to stare at him. "You see. You stared at me and I didn't eat you up." He said chuckling softly. 

I didn't hear anything when I stared at him and I sighed in relief. The stupid powers I thought I had was gone. 

"You coming?" Ronald asked, stretching forth his hand once again. 

I smiled, taking his hand "of course, my alpha." I said, bowing slightly. 

He chuckled at my little antics. We both walked through the pack house, till we got to the maid quarters. Immediately they saw us- or him in this case, they all paused what they were doing and bowed. 

"Pleased to be in your presence, Alpha Ronald." They said in unison. 

"Which of them?" Ronald asked, ignoring their greeting. 

I stared around, not answering immediately. I figured if I answered too quickly it would seem like I wanted them punished on purpose. 

Ronald nudged me and I stared at him, bringing my lips to his ears. I should probably tell you now that we are almost at the same height and I'm a really tall person. 

"Let's leave, there's no use of punishing them." I mumbled in his ears. 

"No, if you let them go now, what's stopping then from coming back?" Ronald asked in a loud voice, causing the maids to gasp in horror. I looked at them and all I can see is terrified young girls. The girl who insulted me earlier was in a corner glaring daggers at me. I focused my gaze on her I heard a voice in my head. "Don't point me, please." So she was actually pretending to be brave. I'm going to have pity on her and let her go this time, just this once. If I needed someone to take a fall for my actions, I'm picking her without a second thought. 

"Pretty please." I begged and Ronald sighed. 

"Fine, but let this be a warning to each and everyone of you. If you mess with her, you've disrespected someone important to me." He said the last part staring at me. I didn't know what to do, so I smiled and brushed his arm. 

"Who's she?" One of the maids snorted and I turned to stare at her. I'm sure I heard her speak, but if Ronald is still speaking uninterrupted it only means I read her mind. 

"I know y'all feel threatened by my presence, a stray girl walks in here and suddenly grabs the attention of their Alpha." I paused to stare at them, they were all listening with rapt attention and I continued 

"I myself have no idea how that happened. Believe me when I say I mean no harm. " I said, completing my statement. Ronald smiled at me and I turned to leave. Just a few steps, I feel dizzy and then I held my hear in pain. Believe me when I say I'm not acting right now, this is all real.
