Capítulo 13: Annoying little brat
Feeling very anxious, I made my way downstairs with Claire leading the way.
I couldn't stop the wild thoughts in my head though and I could stop the way I was trembling even though it was just slightly, missing my steps a little on the stairway Claire turned back with an angry face
"Why are you being such a baby?" she asked roughly and undoubtedly infuriating me
"Excuse me miss, I don't think you have the right to compare me with a baby when you are 5 years younger than I am," I said stopping in my tracks with my hands on my hips
"If you are the older one then act like one, I already told you we don't bite so stop fearing us" she hissed and I hated the fact that she was right
"I don't fear you guys" I countered hoping to dispute her words
"Says the person reeking of fear," she said with an eye roll
"And what the heck does that mean?" I questioned getting slightly angry, that I fear them doesn't mean I reck of fear
"We are werewolves, Layla, we can sense people's fear," she said walking forward
"Ohhh," I said with some sort of realization and calm, that's what she meant by reeking of fear.
Somehow I wish I was one of them, they have cool senses and multiple abilities which makes them better than we humans
"Yeah," she said ending the little chat we were having
But then I couldn't stop my fear though, I don't know why but I just couldn't believe these people don't bite, they are part animal and I am fully human, wild animals eat humans, they are carnivores so why would they be any ĺdifferent? Probably this Claire of a girl doesn't like me and wants to bring me into the wolf's den?
I know that thinking is absurd but still, girl's gotta think of everything possible right?
Getting to the first and fourth floor from where I was before, I was awed at the sight in front of me.
I know this house is grand with the long staircase we took, but this floor really brought out the beauty of this place.
Filled with people going up and down and laughing at something I don't know and a grand chandelier brightening up the place and colorful chairs everywhere and...
"Hey," Claire said snapping her fingers in front of me and bringing me out of my reverie
"What?" I questioned with a frown, I hated that she disrupted my thoughts
"You love the view?" she asked with a smile and I looked away which is to my front to notice there was a halt in the people's movement.
Everyone was now staring at me like I was a zombie and it brought chills to my body, I couldn't stand the way they were looking at me so I had to look away
"This is Layla, the Alpha's mate," Claire said and they all looked at themselves and while some had a smile on their face, some had a frown while the rest just put on a neutral expression, and I don't know what to make of everything thing.
Somewhere in my mind I still feel like prey, maybe they're smiling because their dinner is now around, maybe the ones that are frowning are thinking why it's some skinny girl and the ones neutral don't have a complaint, they just want to eat.
Shuddering hard I looked at Claire with fear in my eyes and she just shook her head in disapproval
"She isn't used to the concept of werewolves yet so why don't you all just continue with your business while we do ours," she said with so much authority in her voice it almost matched Damien's and as a command, they continued with what they were doing.
It almost felt like they were pawns if not because I just know they weren't. Emily told me werewolves make their own decisions just like humans but they make sure not to go against their Alpha or pack rules just like we make sure not to commit any crime or betray our country.
"Aren't you hungry?" Claire asked and I just stared at her, after a while I nodded my head yes
"Let's go," she said and I followed her
"You know you are the future Luna right? The female leader of this pack, the one whose authority comes next after the Alpha's" she said stopping in front of a door and facing me
"Well I didn't know, not until now," I said with a bit of sarcasm and that is because I know, Emily already told me yesterday during dinner
"Why don't you minimize the way you fear this person, they can all smell your fear and some of them would be so happy you fear them since it means you can't lead them, not all of us want a human Luna and some would try their best to make sure they don't have one," she said facing me and giving me a very stern face that I couldn't give a smart reply
"Well I never said I wanted to lead any werewolf," I said looking away to see some of these people giving me a side glance every now and then
"Well you don't have a choice now miss Layla, it's something you have to do sooner or later so learn to get used to their company," she said before opening the door to a room while I followed her in
Entering the place I was also awed at the sight in front of me, looks like I'm going to get a slacked jaw with the number of times my jaw has dropped today
The room is a kitchen, a very grand kitchen, with people moving up and down and food everywhere.
You know there is a beauty that lies in a kitchen full of staff, it's the way everything just goes into each other but what made this place more beautiful was the foods around and the scents flying everywhere.
I couldn't get enough of it, inhaling deeper the sweet scent of different foods, I felt so relieved and happy.
If the foods here were this much, why the fuck did Emily bring such a small amount of food for me yesterday, seems like I'm going to have to fight her this evening.
Looking beside me I noticed Claire was no longer there, I look forward to seeing she had already taken her seat at the island and some people were already taking her orders.
Moving closer to her, I couldn't stop my hands from smacking her head
"What the hell?" she said turning to face me with a frown and I noticed her eyes had turned black.
The people around shifted backward with visible fear on their faces but somehow it didn't bother me, maybe it's because I've seen and felt more coldness from her brother to be bothered by hers
"Why'd you do that?" she questioned her eyes going back to the vibrant green it was before
"Maybe because you left my side without telling me or maybe because you have been an annoying little brat since morning," I said and the people around gasped out loud which made both me and Claire face them
"And is that your work?" she said to them making them scurry to their different posts
"I thought you saw me leave and decided to stay rooted in one place," she said facing me
"What is the exact kind of authority you hold in this place?" I questioned noticing how easily people listen to her
"I'm an Alpha Layla," she said and I got confused
"I thought there can only be one Alpha in a pack?" I questioned
"Yes, but then my parents birthed Alpha pups and that made me and my brothers born Alpha wolves automatically making me an Alpha too," she said
"Brothers," I said taking note of the word "how many brothers do you have?" I asked
"Two," she said smiling
"And where is the other one?" I asked
"He's not here, he now has his pack which he rules," she said and I wondered
"Why are you still here then, I mean you're an Alpha, you should have your pack right?"
"I can only build my pack when I come of age and find my mate," she said
"What age?" I asked
"20" she replied and two girls brought our food to the table, I guessed she already requested my food too
"So you have to stay here till then," I said with a full mouth which made her laugh
"Yes," she said digging into her food

Anony_Mous_1902 Who else loves Claire, please?
I'm falling too hard for this Alpha female
Looks like there is going to be another book about her... just contemplating, I can't promise.
And Layla's love for food is based entirely on me, I love food more than anything else, wait a moment, money first, then food ;)
The chapter is quite plain but I hope you guys enjoyed it.
Thanks for reading and supporting this book! I love y'all so much!!
Thanks for your love*flying kisses in Jin's style*
