Chapter 0405
SELENA'S POV.
"I said I don't like any of the outfits you've presented to me! Get me another one!" My voice rises with each word and I'm shouting by the end of the sentence. The servants standing before me shriek in horror and exchanged terrified looks.
It's been over thirty minutes now and they've been presenting outfits to me but I don't like any. They don't seem to have any taste for fashion. "But Selena..."
"Selena?" I scoff in disbelief. Did she just address me by my name?
Me?
I shoot her a piercing glare that almost makes her shrink on her spot.
"How dare you! How dare you call me by my name? Don't you know who I am? I am your future Luna, you dimwit!" I scold yet again and the girls fearfully take a few steps back. The girl who just called me Selena instantly bows.
"I'm very sorry Ma'am. It was a slip of the tongue. Please forgive me. It won't happen again, I promise." She apologises fervently and I roll my eyes, caring less about it.
"Whatever." I look back at the pile of clothes on the couch in front of me. "Like I said, I don't like any of the clothes you just presented to me. Get me new ones." I order firmly. One of the girls clears her throat as she turns her gaze to my face.
I can see the fear in her eyes. I can see how much she's trying to muster the courage to say what she wants to say to me and it makes me so happy. It gives me joy to see them fear me so much. I am mated to the Alpha King whom they fear and respect with all their hearts. I expect them to do the same for me. Even if I have to instil that fear in their hearts on my own, I will do so!
"Ma'am Selena." The girl finally speaks after many seconds of soft contemplating. "These are the clothes the designers delivered today. If you want new clothes, we'll have to call them to bring them over."
"And what's stopping you from doing that?" She quickly shakes her head.
"Nothing, Ma'am."
“Good. You have one hour to present me with new, better outfits."
"Yes Ma'am." The girl swivels on her heels and scampers out of the bedroom, probably cursing at me in her heart for being a bone in her throat, but I don't care. I am their future Luna and they will serve me the way I want to be served whether they like it or not!
"Ma'am Selena, would you want me to serve you your breakfast now?"
"Serve it only when you're convinced that I will like it, because if you bring me another tasteless meal, I will throw it on your face."
"Understood." Another girl leaves.
"What about your bath? How do you want me to run it this time around?"
"The last time I said to make it warm, you made it hot. Who knows what you're going to do this time? Just leave, I'll do it myself until I find someone who can do the job perfectly."
"Does that mean I can leave now?"
"Yes. You all are nothing but incompetent idiots."
She bows and exits the bedroom. Now it's just me.
I rise from my bed and heave out a silent breath. A small smile creeps on my lips.
I'm in Alpha Reagan's chambers. It still feels like a dream to me.
Now that I'm here, I'm going to do all I can to...
A knock on the door interrupts my thoughts. I signal whoever it is to come in and soon, the door is pushed open and behind it stands an elderly woman whom I instantly recognized. Her name is Charlotte. Alpha Reagan Introduced her to me this morning. She's the head of the servant department in the castle. She oversees everything that to do with Alpha Reagan in this chambers. The way he spoke so highly of her made me understand that she's very dear to him.
I don't like her.
"Yes." I ask with raised brows she eps into the room, maintaining a calm and collected composure.
I hate the fact that she's not wearing a servant uniform.
She might be the leader around here, but she's still a servant and so she has to wear a uniform.
"The servants told me none of the clothes suit your taste and that you demanded new ones." "They told you well."
"And that nothing they did seemed to satisfy you."Copyright Nôv/el/Dra/ma.Org.
"They didn't serve me properly. I was greatly dissatisfied with their manner of service."
"And in what way did they not serve you properly, if I may?" She insists and I'm completely taken aback by her question, but not more than her tone.
I don't like it. I feel like I'm being interrogated.
"Are you questioning me?"
"Isn't it obvious?"
I scoff.
I chuckle in disbelief.
"Wow!"
"I just want to know where they went wrong so I can correct them and have them serve you better next time."
"I think I know the first thing I'm going to do when I become Luna. I'm going to fire all of you. You all are nothing but a bunch of lazy and incompetent..."
"Is there anything else you need?" She cuts me off with an expressionless look on her face.
This old hag!
"Yes." I raise my chin. "I need you to tell those worthless servants they'll be fired the moment Alpha Reagan finds out how poorly they served me Sout today. And you too will be fired for talking back at me.”
"Call me if you need anything.” With that, she turns on her heels and exits the room. Only the Moon goddess knows the derogatory curses she's raining on me in her heart right now, but that's none of my business.
What I know is that I'm back and a lot of things are going to change around here!
