Rejected, And Became A Heiress (Cara)

George pales, realizing that I might have overheard his criticism of my work.

"The phone service had to be reinstalled, and a new number was necessary. Funny, the phone company said they left you several messages, but never heard back? Don't worry, I handled it for you." I smile triumphantly at him as his face turns to a glower. George clears his throat and mumbles an excuse that I don't care to hear anyway

Just then. Alaric walks in and asks to know what we were discussing.

"Hello Alpha King. I was just explaining to George why we had to reprint all of the free kitchen pamphlets. I say simply. "The phone number mishap, right?" Alaric asks immediately.

I smile at

at him, "That's the one." At least someone around here is paying attention

"Low-born bitch, George growls softly.

Not softly enough, though, because it's met with a much deeper, much more menacing growl from Alaric.

"What did you say?" Alaric asks slowly, his voice a deadly calm.

"I-II didn't say anything, Alpha King, sir. I... umm.. I was talking to myself." George begins to visibly shake in fear. Alaric steps closer, so close he's only an inch away from George's nose. Alaric is much taller than the Gamma, so much so that George would have to tilt his head just to look Alaric in the eye.

Not that George would dare.

"Just say it, you coward. Out with it. NOW!" Alaric commands him, daring the Gamma to disobay the direct order.

George seems to consider this for a moment. His cheeks redden and a wild look develops in his eyes. The Gamma seems to decide that he can bear it no longer, it's time to say how he really feels.

"FINE! She's a low-born bitch who NEVER should have gotten this job!" George yells at Alaric.

In

my time working for the pack, I have never even heard of a Gamma, or any wolf for that matter, talking to the Alpha King

this way. We all hold our breath, waiting for Alaric to respond.

Alaric sighs, but it's oddly calm. "I had higher hopes for you, George."

He picks a speck of dust off of George's shoulder, before clapping his large arms around George's shoulders.

George looks like he might wet his pants

"There's no place for that classist attitude in Pack DarkWood." Alarie wraps a hand around George's throat. "I will not tolerate anyone, noble or otherwise, talking down in my staff,"

1 watch George try to gulp, but Alaric's grip is too firm. George's face is turning redder and redder by the minute.

"EVERY member of this office has been handpicked for their professional abilities. If you can't," Alaric grips George's throat harder. "Or WON'Tsee that, then it's time for you to go."

A small drop of blood flows from the skin on George's throat, Alaric's nails pushing too deep.

"George Benson, you are hereby and forevermore EXPELLED om Pack DarkWood. Alaric announced ominously. He releases George with a hand thrust.

"But- but you CAN'T! It's all HER fault! She's trying to frame me" George pleaded. He was shrieking,

"That's ENOUGH" Alaric yelled, loudly enough that all of us present jumped. "For that, you'll live out the rest of your days as a packless rogue. I will personally call the neighboring packs and urge them not to let you join." Oh shit. To be packless, to be a rogue, was for most werewolves fate worse than death. Our kind needs to be in groups.

The elders say sometimes it takes as little as a few days for a rogue to lose his mind entirely.

George had to be escorted out of the building by security. Alaric assured me he'd do everything in his power to keep George and his noble family far away from me.

Later that evening, Alaric again tried to proposition me for sex. again used my medical excuse to turn him down.

"It isn't normal for this sickness to last this long. You're going back to the hospital." Alaric was firm, the earlier encounter with George putting him in a positively sour mood.

I didn't try to argue.

While at the hospital, Alaric was pulled into another room to speak with a doctor. I saw my opportunity at last.

My chance at freedom. Finally, after waiting for weeks.

I have to try. I'll never forgive myself if I don't.

I burst out of the room and run as fast as I can.
