Louisa's POV
"I know you want to say something, lassie. It's been a long time since you last said something to me. So just say it," I lay on Lucas' bed and said to my wolf.
"I've got nothing to say," my wolf said. "I like Lucas and I want you to bear his babies. He's very strong and powerful. Your babies will be very strong and healthy."
"But he has been an asshole. Every time he hurts me, he tries to get away with it by having sex with me," I lowered my head and whispered.
My wolf said, "I don't think I should be the one to give you any advice on relationship problems. Human beings are very complicated and different from us. They have feelings, dignities, and ideologies that they choose to die for. But for wolves, we only focus on survival and reproduction. So, if you want me to give you advice, all I can say is that you have to figure out more ways to please Lucas, so he will want to leave some of his fluid inside your worm."
"What do you mean?" I frowned and flipped on the bed. My back was a bit sour.
"Well, you know, he has to leave some fluid inside your worm while you're ovulating, so you can get pregnant. He has had sex with you multiple times, but it seems that he didn't want to make you pregnant," my wolf said.
My face started burning.
"I don't think he would ever make me pregnant," I said. "It seems that he didn't think I'm qualified to be the mother of his children. I mean, I can't do anything right in front of him. Whatever I do makes him angry."
"He likes having sex with you. So at least you get that part right. That's why I'm telling you to find more ways to please him. As long as you keep him happy in bed, he will never abandon you," my wolf said.
"But I don't want to be his sex toy. I want to be his wife, his Luna. I want his love, not his fluid." I held the edge of the bed and said.
My wolf said, "Well, that's exactly what I'm talking about. I can't help you with that. You've already told him that you wanted his love and respect, but it seems there's no response from him. There are a lot of reasons for an Alpha doesn't want to have a Luna in their pack. In most cases, it has something to do with his past experience. If you knew about it, it would be helpful for you to resolve this issue and win his favor. But in Lucas' case, I guess it might be a little bit different."
"How's so?" I asked.
"Well, I guess he was just born this way," my wolf said.
"No one was born to be an asshole," I said.
"It seems that we have very different opinions," my wolf said.
I sensed there would be another argument impending, so I shut up.
I couldn't afford to lose a loyal friend like her.
At that time, I heard heavy footsteps coming all the way towards the tent.
Then, when the curtain was lifted, I saw Josephine standing at the entrance.
"You can't get into Alpha's Tent without permission, Lady Josephine," a soldier said.
"Really? Try stopping me!" Josephine leered and said.
The soldier used his sword to block her way.
Josephine screamed, "Take your dirty paws off my body before I have them cut off! If I'm not allowed to get into Lucas' tent, why is that filthy little slut lying on his bed?!"
At that time, Mick, my newly hired personal guard, showed up at the entrance and said, "Lady Josephine, please back off. Miss Louisa is taking her rest."
"You imbecile low creature! How dare you talk to me like this?!" Josephine raised her hand and tried to slap Mick, but her wrist was grabbed by Lynel, another personal guard.
"Hey, Lady. Chill out and back off." Lynel said, "We no longer work for you, so stop bullying my brother. If you dare to slap him, we'll slap back."
I knew I had to stop this before things escalated. So I quickly put on a gown, jumped off the bed, and walked to the door.
"Lynel, please let go of Lady Josephine and let her come inside," I said.
"But Miss Louisa..." Lynel said.
"It's OK, Lynel. I'll deal with it." I nodded at him.
As soon as Lynel released Josephine, she charged at me and pushed me onto the ground.
"You slut! Look at yourself! Lying on the ground with your legs spreading. What a slutty whore! Don't you think that you can fool me with your appearance? Maybe you can fool Lucas, but not me! I know everything that is on your mind! You want to seduce Lucas and play innocent, so he can take you to the Grand Ball tonight! No way! Not when I'm alive! I will not allow a lowbred slut like you to get to tonight's ball! Maids! Go to the Luna Tent and take out all her dresses and burn them!"
The maids who stood behind her whispered -
"Lady Josephine, we went into the tent, but we didn't see any dress."
"They were all taken by Alpha Lucas' maids to the tailor's tent."
Josephine turned back to them and shouted, "What?! Why did he take the dresses to that place?!"
"He wants to let Lady Akela choose from the dresses," a maid replied.
"Akela?! You mean Akela Nightingale from Defiant Pack is here?!" Josephine shouted.
"Yes, my Lady."
I felt so demotivated while sitting on the floor.
I thought Lucas asked Lucian to buy those dresses, especially for me. But it seemed that they weren't for me at all.
"Is Lucas going to the Grand Ball with Akela Nightingale?!"
"Yes, my Lady," the maid replied in a trembling voice.
Josephine immediately realized that she was barking at the wrong tree.
She stomped her feet and roared, "Ah! That crazy stupid bitch! I really should have poured a bottle of wolfsbane into her throat!"
Then, she shifted her eyes to me and I had never seen so much resentment in a person's eyes.
"It's all your fault, you shameless slut!" She kicked me and yelled.
My personal guards wanted to charge into the tent and protect me, but I shook my head to tell them no.
I could tell that Lucas didn't want Josephine to get hurt. She's Gamma Kylo's cousin and Alpha Titan's niece. These two people were very important to him.
Josephine noticed my hesitation. Predators like her were always able to detect even the slightest hint of their prey's fear.
"Maids, grab her hair!" Josephine said. "I'll cut off all her hair to make sure that she can't go to tonight's ball!"
