CHAPTER THREE

As she turned to her left, which led to her room, she sighted two men coming towards her direction.

She quickly ran back, and hid herself behind the pillars which were so big enough to hide her small features, including her torn clothes which she held in her hands.

"That Omega of a girl isn't in her room, where could she have gone to?"

One of the guards,Tim, asked his colleague as they came out from Andrea's room. They have gone to check on Andrea to find out if she was dead, or alive as mandated by Klaus.

"Alpha klaus won't be happy if he hears that the girl is nowhere to be found. He believes that the girl is already dead".

The other guard, Paul said, walking past the pillars. His senses couldn't dictate the smell of another wolf in the hallway.

"Can you imagine she tried forcing Alpha Klaus on herself, who does that?"

Tim said, still surprised about what he heard.

"I never believed that Andrea could exhibit such behaviour. That's so unlikely. She appears calm, and acts gentle".

Paul reasoned, as they exited the hallway.

Andrea became shocked as a result of what she heard. 

"How could he lie about something like this".

She muttered to herself. She wiped the tears that were about to drop from her eyes, and hurriedly ran to her room.

Andrea closed the door behind her, and sat down on the floor. 

She thought about how life has been unfair to her, nobody to love her, nobody to treat her like a child that she is.

"Of what use am I to this pack? Even my family treats me like a slave. Seems I was born mistakenly."

She said to herself. Thinking of her late father who loved her before he died. 

"Death took my cherished father from me, and here I am suffering in the hands of my mother, and worst enemy, Klaus."

She muttered sadly. The squeaking of the rat in the room brought her back to her senses. 

The Rat has been of some great help to her, it has been her companion ever since she was brought to her room.

She stood up, and went to freshen up. She dipped her head into the bucket of water, which eased the tension in her. 

As she cleaned her body, she wondered when her suffering would end.

Andrea had a change of clothes. The rat jumped on her leg squeaking as if it knew that she was about to go out.

Andrea bent down, and touched the rat's head. She went to take the bread which had been on her table, and dropped some bread for the rat to eat.

As she was about to stand up, a sharp voice pierced through her senses, throwing her to the other end of the room. She tried to cover ears, but the voice rang into her head.

"If I wait for you one more minute, you won't like what I will do to you. Don't you know we have preparations to make regarding the full moon, huh?"

The voice said. It wasn't difficult to figure out the real owner of the voice. It was her mother's voice after all. 

She knew her mother, Mrs Linda was mad at her, and would do anything to her if she waited for her in the kitchen.

Andrea went to the kitchen immediately in order not to incur her mother's wrath. She saw Mrs. Paula already in the pack's kitchen.

"Good morning, Mrs Paula."

She greeted. Mrs Paula turned to Andrea, and smiled at her as she was so eager to see her.

"Good morning my child."

Mrs. Paula replied to her greetings, beaming from ear to ear.

"Let me take over from you ma'am."

Andrea said, as she looked round the kitchen, she saw that there were servants in the kitchen who were helping to make the full moon sacrifice a good one.

"No, my child. As you can see we are almost done, but before then, your mother has given a directive that you shouldn't be given any food till you are done with your work."

Mrs Paula said. She has been the pack's chef, and has treated Andrea so differently. She manages to save some food for Andrea, knowing fully well she is not always eating well.

"Okay ma'am".

Andrea replied smiling. She always feels happy anytime Mrs. Paula is around, because she is one of the few people she can talk to at any time.

"Take those grains to the mill stand, and grind them okay. When you are back, I will give you something to eat before you continue."

Mrs. Paula instructed. She watched as Andrea left the kitchen, she felt pity for her.

"Okay ma'am, I will be right back".

Andrea said. As she was about to leave, she was shocked at who she saw. She gasped barely audibly.

Klaus was standing right before her, with two men. He saw the shock on her face and without hesitation, he looked into her eyes.

"What has he come here to do this time? Has he come to inflict more pain on me? Why can't he just let me be?"

Andrea muttered to herself. She lowered her head as she could not look him in the eyes.

Everyone in the kitchen couldn't understand what was happening. 

"Why will Alpha Klaus stare at a woofless Omega like that, it is uncalled for?"

One of the maids in the kitchen asked no one in particular, as she could not withstand the drama that was unfolding right before her.

"You are surprised to see me right. Good thing to see that you are not dead, because I have prepared your casket for a befitting burial".

Klaus' voice came, attacking her on her senses. She closed her eyes, and clutched to her bag tightly, she was fully ready for whatever he might have planned for her.

"This girl, or whatever you guys call her, can someone remind me of her name.

Klaus requested, feigning ignorance. He smirked as he enjoyed every bit of display he was exhibiting.

"Her name is Andrea Wilson".

The maid who felt pissed earlier on replied, feeling excited as she answered the Almighty Alpha Klaus. She loves seeing the Omega being embarrassed.

"Thank you for reminding me of her name, pretty one".

Klaus said, moving a few feets away from her. The Omega had slapped him on his face by rejecting his offer, and he had vowed to make her life miserable. 

"Andrea Wilson approached me....".

He paused when he saw three female werewolves coming into the kitchen, and towards his direction. 

Klaus smiled immediately when he saw them. Someone had informed Mrs Linda, about everything that had transpired in the kitchen, and she came running to the kitchen with her two daughters. 

"Seems this would be fun".

He muttered, considering the fact that Andrea's mother, and her two elder siblings despise her, and cared about him so dearly.

"So as I was saying, this woofless girl approached me this morning, trying to force herself on me".

Klaus blurted, as he watched the expression on everyone's face which he had expected.

"What!".

Andrea exclaimed. She was shocked at what she heard. She knew she wouldn't escape from this one, no one would come to her aid, not even Mrs. Paula the chef.

"I told her that I wouldn't try such a thing with her, because we are not mated, and we are yet to know our mates. I am keeping myself for my mate".

He said, feigning sadness, and at the same time bitter, so that everyone in the kitchen will believe him.

"She insisted that she wants to do it with me, and that she can't resist me anytime she sets her eyes on me".

He continued, as he watched their heads turning in disgust at what he said. No one would doubt him, and he knew it. He was such a great actor.

"I told her that doing anything with her would be detrimental to me as the future Alpha. She tore her clothes so that I would be tempted".

Klaus said, glaring at Andrea. He planned to deal with her in a way that she couldn't imagine.

"So what happened next? Did you oblige to her request? Were you tempted?"

May asked angrily. She could not believe that her wolfless sister would have an eye for the same man she loves.

"Why would I do that? I pushed her to the wall, and then she slumped. I used that as an opportunity to leave the room".

Klaus said pitifully. Andrea looked at the faces of everyone in the room, it appears that everybody believed Klaus. Who won't believe him when he is their future Alpha.

"Please don't believe him, none of what he said is true, he was...…".

She was interrupted by a heavy slap on her face. Lila had slapped her , and it got her rolling on the floor.

"How dare you try to force yourself on him, ain't you ashamed of yourself? So you think you can pin him down by having a pup for him huh?"

Lila asked, dragging Andrea from the floor where she fell to face her. Andrea looked at Mrs. Paula, but the poor woman had turned her face to the other end.

"You literally knew he was, and still mine, and you went ahead with your gullible plans. You laid down on the floor pretending that you are lost".

May said violently. She went to stand at the back of Andrea in order to prevent her from escaping from her sister's beating.

Klaus kept on smiling as he watched the Omega's family carry out their anger on her. He wished she had just died, but before then, he would make sure that he had had a taste of her in whatever way.

"She behaves like a gentle dove, but within, she is an ass hole".

One of the servants said, as she continued with whatever she was doing. Lila hit Andrea, and May dragged her hair from behind. 

"Please enough, enough of the beating. You guys should take it easy on her".

Klaus said, seeing blood on Andrea's forehead. He knew that she had become weak, and he pretended to show some remorse.

"What do you mean, are you suddenly developing some affections towards her or what?"

May asked, as she raged in anger, knocking Andrea off from her feet. Andrea's face had gotten swollen, and she has gotten tired from the whole torture melted out to her by her two sisters.

It was as if the ground should open, and swallow her. She has faced the worst embarrassment ever. She never imagined that this day would come.

"Come, let's leave. It is too hot here".

Klaus said, as he removed May's hand from Andrea's hair. He gave Andrea a smirk, as he left the room. 

Andrea closed her eyes in shame. No one stood up for her, everyone thought she actually did what she was accused of.

"Why are you still standing there? Will you get out of this place, before you infect the others with your evil mindset".

Mrs. Linda said irritatingly. She wished she hadn't given birth to Andrea. That's the only mistake she has always regretted. 

"Chameleon in wolf's form…. Ohhh, it just occurred to me, you don't have any wolf in you. Shameless girl".

Lila blurted. An outburst erupted into the air. Andrea couldn't withstand the atmosphere, and ran out of the kitchen, as tears came rolling down her cheeks. Her heart has been ripped into pieces.
