CHAPTER 6

Autumn's POV

After going back to my room, I couldn't stop thinking about the ridiculous situation that I was in. What the hell is going on in the heads of those alphas. I'm asking what they even want from me?

I've been trying so hard to stay away from them and leave because I want to live. They'll be the end of me if I don't get out of here. I don't care what kind of torture method they're inventing now. I don't believe they'll keep me if I continue to bring trouble to them.

While I was trying to relax in my room, I heard a knock on my door. The same room which hasn't exactly been the best place since Agatha started to frame me and get everyone to hate me.

I was deemed a bully and downgraded to a smaller room with smaller amenities. I live worse than a maid and they said it was because they wanted me to stop being too evil and learn. But what exactly do they want me to learn?

“I didn't do anything to her! Why won't you even believe what I say? You raised me! Am I really that bad?” I defended myself.

“We raised you which is why we know that we have failed to teach you properly and it has resulted in you becoming a bully. This is something we can't take. We spoiled you too much and you refused to know your place. From now on, you won't have such privileges anymore.”

That was how I began to live in a place like this. How do they even forget that and let me go today? I watched Agatha mock me for years and laugh at me because she took everything from me. But I don't want any of them anymore.

I just want to leave so I can live better with this given new life. Thinking of all the things they did to me when they found out I was their mate in the last life, I can't help but badly want to get out of here so I won't have to listen to them anymore.

I did so much for them before and they never appreciated me. Just because I have a new life now doesn't mean that it never happened to me. I still have fresh memories of death and everything else that I went through. I just can't live through it or forget it.

The only way to changing my fate is getting away from all these people. I'm giving it to them easily and they're not giving me a chance. I continued to hear the same knocking on my door which has been there for a while. Who is knocking now that I was trying to strategize?

I opened the door to find one of Agatha's minions who are the maids working in the pack house for my uncles. Agatha made sure most of the pack members and most people working here hate me a lot. I used to be so loved but I've lost that respect a long time.

I looked at the blonde haired girl who was shorter than me and standing in front of my room like I was owing her some money. I didn't say anything, waiting for her to relay the message of her master.

"What are you doing here in the room all day? You're called for dinner." She said sarcastically.

I scoffed, "tell them I'm not interested in their dinner."

Her eyes widened in shock, "what? Are you seriously refusing to have dinner when this is all you've been begging for years?"

I suddenly realized all the useless things I did in the past. I was always trying to please my uncles after Agatha made them hate me. I also realized that I did all I could to eat with them but they never allowed me. They looked down on me and Agatha always sabotaged any opportunity I had left to be with them.

If it was in the past, I would be so happy to have dinner with them. But now, I don't want to. I can't believe they even want me to have dinner with them now. Who is changing the script of my life? Was I transported into a parallel world where they actually love and believe in me?

"Are you not going to say anything? Is this your new method of playing hard to get? Do you think anyone is going to care about you if you act like this?" She shouted at me.

I had to cover my ears at the rudeness of the maid. Even if I was cast aside before, I was still the official young lady of this mansion and also the one who was officially adopted. I'm very sure I shouldn't be taking this from a maid, yet I was letting them do everything to me in the past because I badly wanted to impress the Alphas.

Now, I didn't care. But I want to go to this dinner, only because it was another reason for me to irritate them. Maybe if I do some questionable things, they will stop indulging me and actually send me out of the pack. Something like disrupting the dinner, which they hate the most.

"I'm not going anywhere until they give me an explanation on why a rude maid like you was sent to call me." I replied her calmly.

Her expression changed between fear and anger, she didn't understand it because I never acted like this with her. I've indulged in her so much that she thinks she's the boss of me.

"What do you mean? You think anyone cares how I treat you? You've started talking back to me, it seems that—"

I slapped her before she could finish her statement. She held her face and almost fell back.

"I said apologize to me and you think I'm joking about this? If you don't give me a proper apology right now, I'm going to make sure you're never able to talk to anyone for the rest of your life!" I threatened her.

"How dare you slap me?" She fumed.

"How dare I slap you?" I laughed hysterically and gave her another slap. "I'm going to continue to slap you until you've learnt your place. You are just a maid getting paid to slave around here, you think I'm on the same level with you?"

I've always been kind to them and they took that for granted. This is the reason I was locked up this small room in the first place. Maybe I should just act like the accusations so that I can get my freedom. I've been dead once and I'll do anything for my freedom in this life!

"Do you think the alphas won't punish you for being a bully? You'll see what happens when I tell them everything you did!" She shouted at me again.

I raised my hand and she quickly moved back,"Keep shouting at me disrespectfully like that and I'll show you what I'm capable of doing!"

"Besides, you want to report me? Go ahead. You're just a dog for Agatha, what makes you think they'll believe you over me?"

"What? Who are you calling a dog?"

I sneered, "Oh? You don't know yet? I beat up your master today and she didn't even get support. Your alphas don't care about her anymore. Now, imagine what will happen if I tell them everything you've done to me... You think you and your family will still be here?"

Her eyes widened in shock and she immediately went down on her knees.

"I'm sorry young mistress. I shouldn't have talked to you that way. I'm sorry for all I've ever done to you! Please forgive me!" She begged, "I don't want to leave, my family needs to survive too!"

I was a bit shocked too. I was just testing her but I never knew news travelled so fast that Agatha got beaten by me. This is the first time they're actually witnessing it, yet they always believed the rumors they heard without giving me a chance to defend myself. She wants to survive but she never thought of his I felt when they treated me like that.

"You think that I'll forgive you for all the humiliation you put me through just because you're begging me once? It's not that easy. But you have a lot of things I could use you for. You better not think of running away because I'll find you. For now, keep working around Agatha and reporting to me. Do you understand?" I asked her.

She looked confused, "You want me to spy on her?"

"Why? You can't do it? Then forget—"

"I'll do it! I'll do it immediately!" She said and jumped up, "just tell me whatever you want young mistress and I'll do it for you immediately!"

Just because I'm using her doesn't mean I forgive her but she's useful for a lot of things. I'm going to use Agatha's method against her from now on.

"I'm going out now, I expect your full loyalty or else..."

"I'll be loyal to you young mistress!" She pledged.

I smiled and made my way towards the dining room downstairs. I'm about to make them regret inviting me.
