Three Alphas, Fated To One, Played By One, But Mated To One Chapter 7: The Cunning Alpha

"I don’t know what happened. I have been experiencing pain all over my body.

I wanted to go and ask for pain killers but haven’t had the ti yet." I emphasized and exaggerated the condition of my body to get Karl to stop insisting on going to watch the moon together.

What goddess fulfills desires? Isn’t it just looking for an opportunity to cheat out of my innocence?

I would be crazy to entertain his requests anymore.

"That bad? Then I’ll get you so painkillers. Why don’t you go and rest for a while if you are so sick?" Karl asked as if he was a very concerned friend.

I didn’t want to deal with him anymore so I just replied offhandedly, "Alpha Mike ordered to finish all the chores and I am not done yet. So, I can’t rest."

I ant nothing with that remark. I just wanted to get Karl off my back, but what I didn’t know was that my simple remark had opened a can of worms.

"Oh! Then I’ll get you the painkillers." Karl said before stuffing another chocolate in my hand and leaving.

The kitchen had been so quiet when Karl was there that I had nearly forgotten that there were other people working there.

It was only when Karl’s back vanished completely that another sound ca from the other end of the kitchen.

"So people are just shaless. Complaining about aches and pains as if you want the young alpha to drop everything and give you a massage. Why didn’t you just demand for him to marry you?" Soone said sarcastically.

This had beco normal whenever soone saw with Karl. They would start dropping such degrading remarks that left feeling guilty as if I had defiled Karl by being close to him.

But now, I felt nothing.

Not the guilt nor the happiness I used to secretly feel when others were jealous of .

Now, I just thought that I could at least use him to avoid so punishnts.

I didn’t care what others said about our relationship anymore.

Lunch was served on ti, thanks to the chocolate Karl had given which gave energy and his presence in the kitchen that forced the other workers to do their actual duties instead of piling them on and expecting to perform magic and prepare everything on ti.

While serving dinner, Karl handed the painkillers he had gotten from sowhere to and I didn’t stand on ceremony.

I took them and imdiately put them in my pocket.

I would take them once I was in the privacy of my old room.

For so weird reason, Mike called out to just as I reached the door.

He pushed a plate filled with pasta and at sauce towards and ordered to take it back and eat.

I looked at him long and hard before taking the plate and leaving.

Everyone around the table was shocked by what Mike had done.

Innocent was about to shutter the fork she was eating her pasta with.

That was the second ti that day that Mike had shown interest in .

The second ti she had wanted to choke to death but had to hold back.

She wanted to question Mike. Why was he showing such interest in a slave? But she didn’t dare to.

Not if she wanted to stand by his side as his Luna.

Mike didn’t like it when people questioned his authority. So, she would have to suffer in silence for now. Until she was confird as Luna.

But for the ti being, she would make Valerie’s life as miserable as humanly possible.

I took the plate of pasta back into the kitchen and found a corner before sitting down and began to eat.

I had suffered from hunger long enough to know that when I got food and an opportunity to eat, I had to grab onto it.

If I waited even for a second, soone else might show up and take the food just so that they could feed it to a dog.

So, without doing anything else, I polished the plate of pasta and stood up to wash it clean before returning it into its rack.

The other workers in the kitchen were different from .

Even though they worked in the kitchen, they were paid and they could eat whatever was left in the pot while serving. Or they could go ho to eat.

However, they were surprised that day as they watched eat such a large plate of pasta.

Moreover, it wasn’t leftovers but a fresh plate of food.

It was the first ti this was happening in eight years.

"Did you steal that plate of pasta?" The an woman who splashed with water that morning asked judgntally.

I looked at the woman blocking my way and sighed inwardly.

The woman was plump for a wolf, but who could bla her, she ate almost everything that was left after every al.

Most of the ti, she was the reason I had to eat leftovers from other people’s plates instead of what was left in the pot.

The pack might have been rotten, but there were still so decent people and so of the kitchen staff left so food for without being too obvious.

Unfortunately, the woman in front of always took advantage of her daughter being friends with Innocent and ate everything.

No wonder she looked like a hippo.

"I brought that plate from the dining table. Do you think I could have stolen a plate of pasta in front of three alphas and a bunch of shifted wolves?" For the first ti in years, I talked back to soone.

Even if it was just kitchen staff, I straightened my back and spoke.

This shocked everyone in the kitchen as well as Mike, who was just walking into the kitchen at that mont.

The kitchen went silent for a long mont before sound could be heard again.
