Three Alphas, Fated To One, Played By One, But Mated To One-Chapter 49: Putting the Servant in Their Place

Chapter 49: Chapter 49: Putting the Servant in Their Place

I couldn’t have a maid riding on my head if I wanted enough power to investigate my father’s murder.

I turned to her as I fastened the belt of the dress Anita had brought me earlier to wear as I left the hospital and stepped into a new life.

"Do you have a problem with the duties Lady Bernice has assigned you?" I didn’t put myself as the superior immediately, but brought out Lady Bernice since she was the one who had sent them.

Janice tensed for a fraction of a moment before relaxing again.

"Don’t try to use Lady Bernice to scare me. You are not my Luna and I won’t serve a slave." She said arrogantly expecting me to maybe react violently or something.

But I did none of that. I turned to Lilith and said to her, "Please go back and inform Lady Bernice that I will not be needing Janice as my maid. I am quite satisfied with you alone."

This will not come out as tattling about the maid’s behavior but as the former Luna, how could Lady Bernice not understand the underlying meaning? Let’s see who is going to be a slave from now on.

Janice had not just defied me, she had defied the direct order given by Lady Bernice.

"No no no please don’t go to Luna Bernice. I will do all my duties and follow your orders. I promise never to be rude to you again." Janice began pleading and I stood there watching her and saying nothing.

When I thought she knew her place, I finally spoke.

"Alright, you can stay, but if you so much as show me attitude I don’t like, you are gone." I didn’t really want to send her back as I said before and was just scaring her.

I don’t want to be known as a tyrant as soon as I gain some power. That wasn’t good for me.

Besides, I needed the identity of Luna to do things and to achieve that, I needed some people to accept me, even if not everyone.

I could already tell that my plan to leave with Karl was out the window. But this was better than running away and living in hiding.

Besides, as long as my bond and Mike remained, he could still use it to track me down.

I need better plans.

The pack house was filled with people when Lilith, Janice, and Anita escorted me back.

Some people were idling around while others stood at a distance as if to witness a historic event.

It was indeed historic for someone to go from a slave to the Luna in one day.

Whispers filled the air as I walked inside the house and followed the two maids up the stairs.

"Is she really moving to those big rooms?" Someone asked softly. Probably thinking that I couldn’t hear them since I don’t have a wolf.

"It seems to be true. I wonder why Alpha Demon is doing this." Someone else commented.

"Who knows? But what will happen to Innocent?" Another person asked with concern clearly in their voice.

"She will probably explode from anger." Another one replied, but his voice was gloating.

I have long learned to read people. Read their body language, their tone of speech, their expressions. It was how I had avoided many beatings when necessary.

Now, I could use this to my advantage. I could already tell that not everyone likes Innocent. So, I will start with those to establish my power in the pack.

My back remained straight and my steps steady. I refused to show weakness in front of these people.

I don’t know what Alpha Demon was up to, but I will use his actions to my advantage.

If I was closer to Mike’s office, I would have easier access to information.

If I was treated as something other than a disposable slave, fewer people would dare attack me openly.

If being in the main house meant I could move freely, then this was an opportunity for me, and not the trap they thought they had set.

The corridor leading to the alpha’s wing was quiet. The warriors stationed there watched me like I was some rare creature being transferred into a zoo enclosure.

I didn’t care.

Lilith came to a stop in front of a door.

"This is your room, Luna." The way she called me Luna was so smooth I nearly believed it myself. But I am not a naive little girl.

Life over the last eight years has scraped away all the expectations I ever had, especially about Mike. So, I knew this was an empty title, but I decided to take it.

It was mine to begin with, and it could get things done.

As soon as the door was pushed open, a clean smell hit me in the face.

The room was large with a big bed placed at the center of one of the walls.

Clean sheets covered the bed and a wardrobe could be seen on the other side.

A desk was placed near the large window overlooking the courtyard.

I stepped inside and noticed another door with a translucent mirror near the wardrobe.

A private bathroom.

For someone else, this would be nothing special, but for me who has lived in a space barely enough to stretch my legs, this was luxury.

Anita followed me inside and pointed into the wardrobe, "Your things have been arranged inside. Luna Bernice ordered new clothes fit for a Luna to be delivered. You can choose what you want in the closet. I will take my leave first. Settle in, I’ll come to see you tomorrow."

Anita was being a better friend than I had expected and I appreciated that.

"Thanks. Be careful on the way. I have something to talk to you about tomorrow so make sure you come." I had plans for Anita and I hoped she would accept.

"Alright." She agreed and put my laptop, which she had been carrying on the desk before leaving.
