CHAPTER 28

CHAPTER TWENTY EIGHT

Avyanna woke up with a grumbling stomach that reminded her that she pretty much starved herself the previous day. She was always picky whenever it came down to choosing what to eat because she had unstable cravings. She would crave a particular dish but if the taste wasn't soothing, she would change her mind in that instant.
She had even ordered the Chef, in charge of the pack house kitchen to never serve her breakfast in bed, because she preferred going to the kitchen by herself to critically choose a meal.
Rita was in charge of every meal that was cooked, served and eaten in the pack house. It was her duty to ensure that meals were properly distributed three times a day in the pack house. Immediately she saw Avyanna walk into the kitchen, she curtsied in front of the Luna, and made way for her to select her meal from the dishes that were meant to be served as breakfast in the pack house.
"Rita, you look so beautiful today, what's the secret?" Avyanna smiled giving her a tiny pat on her shoulder before walking towards the table where different meals were on display for her to choose from.
"My Luna, I wish there was a secret." Rita blushed. She was a brunette, slender, tall lady in her late thirties; strong and beautiful. She always smelled of lemon or the ingredients she touched whenever she cooked. She radiated a loving energy anytime Avyanna was around her. She liked wearing dark toned dresses all the time, even when she was in the kitchen and that became her thing.
"So what do we have here for breakfast?" Avyanna asked pleased at what she saw. She had not been eating very well for the past few days but since her various encounters with the Lycan Alpha, she experienced some level of peace which she had no idea where it came from. She could not even stop imagining what staying at the Lycan territory would be like; especially having to live with such a handsome man for a week or more.
"We have Chocolate banana and PB french toast kabobs, veggie sandwich, cupcakes, Grilled cheese and pesto roll-ups, pepperoni melts, chicken sandwich and Grilled cheese hotdogs. You can combine any of these dishes with hot coffee or cold juice just as it may please you my Luna." Rita said with a smile.
"I think today I might likely try out everything because it looks so tasty." Avyanna said as she picked up a cupcake and masticated it.
She moved from tray to tray, selecting the food that enticed her nostrils and made her mouth salivate. She filled her tray with the veggie sandwich, Pepperoni melts, and Grilled cheese and pesto roll-ups, because those were the meals she really wanted to eat.
Just as she hoisted the tray of assorted meals to go and eat in the comfort of her room, she heard voices conversing at the far end of the kitchen. At the far end of the kitchen was a door that separated the main kitchen from the store room. The familiarity of the voice and the absurdity of the conversation pulled Avyanna moved towards the place the voices were coming from. She moved slowly towards the sound until she was within earshot.
She peeked through the ajar door in the kitchen and saw Nancy, speaking with someone else.
She was standing beside Mike, Will's younger brother who was Ericson's Beta. Mike and Nancy was so drowned in the conversation that they didn't even notice Avyanna's presence.
"Of all the men should could flirt with in the pack house, she chose the young innocent teenager. Avyanna was pissed as she whispered to herself. She couldn't help but wonder what other evil intentions Nancy had, or what plans she hatched.
She paid attention to Mike speaking, "Yeah, I just need to get the rations to the army."
"How is your training going Mike?" Nancy smiled flirtatiously as she spoke.
"Oh it's going good. Our Zeta, Jonathan has been very vigorous in the training." He responded stiffly, oblivious to her flirting attempts at him.
"In my former pack we were not opportuned to have a great army leader like yours, and an even better Alpha." She smiled and turned around to arrange the meals that Mike came to get. She wiggled her waist seductively as she kept talking, "I haven't seen any one so strong and ... mm, gosh! so handsome like the Alpha."
Poor Mike couldn't take his eyes off her plump sexy behind, "Well, that's..." He cleared his throat, "that's nice."
"Alpha Ericson reminds me of my Alpha back then sometimes you know. The way he is so caring and loving. The way he looks into your eyes, ready to take on every problem that you have. This pack is lucky to have him you know."
"Yeah. He is a good leader." Will nodded, still staring at her behind.
"You should work hard enough so you can be like him someday."
"I want to be like my senior brother Will, everyone talks about him too. He is humble,yet so talented, he fights so well and he encourages me to become a better man than he is." Mike bragged which gave him a little confidence as he faced Nancy.
"This bitch!" Avyanna whispered to herself in anger as she watched the drama play out. She kept watching from behind the door in silence, but what she didn't know was that Nancy had spotted her eavesdropping behind the door.
"Here you go." Nancy smiled and turned around to hand the rations to Mike. She caught him staring at her behind and smiled. She moved closer to hand him the tray, that was when Avyanna pushed open the door and walked in in them in an almost intimate manner.
"My Luna." Mike bowed nervously as he saw Avyanna walk into the room.
"What is going on here?" She asked authoritatively as she eyed Nancy.
"Mike came to get rations for the pack warriors, My Luna. I was just handing them over to him." Nancy feigned innocency as she spoke.
"Yes my Luna. I have gotten the rations now. I will be on my way." He bowed before Avyanna and thanked Nancy before he walked out of the store room, and then the kitchen with a huge bag of rations for the army in his hand.
Immediately Mike was away from the kitchen, Nancy's confidence and arrogant behavior resurfaced. She smirked darkly at Avyanna as Avyanna stared back at her intensely.
"What was that all about?" Avyanna asked silently, "The Alpha is not enough for you, you are now into little boys?"
"My Luna, I didn't see you there." She said sarcastically. "I was merely giving attention to a budding warrior. I didn't know you are a mate to all the men in the pack." Nancy mocked.
Avyanna had expected this attitude from Nancy due to her past life, but she wasn't expecting it so soon and she felt that it would be the fact that Nancy went to bed with her husband, was what gave her the audacity to speak to her in such a manner.
Avyanna had heard the noise from the next room as she was trying to sleep, she had left her bed to check what was causing the noise, only to see her husband in bed with the Omega. She didn't cause a show or even say a word about it, she only went back to sleep hoping that all her plans would go as planned so she would be out of the mess she regarded as marriage.
Avyanna was aware that Nancy was testing her patience and trying to get on her bad side. She put her emotions in check and smiled, "All the men in the pack can't be for me, We have you for that."
"I am not a slut if that is what you are implying." Nancy showed a little bit of anger as she spoke.
"For some reason, I really doubt that." Avyanna remained chill.
"Of course you would, but Alpha Ericson didn't doubt it last night." Nancy picked her fingernails as she talked, trying to incite pain on Avyanna.
"When has he ever? You are a mate to everyone afterall."
"Nope, just to the Alpha. I had the opportunity to be a slut to him last night." Nancy smiled victoriously as she crossed her arms across her chest.
"Oh, I am very well aware of that, I'm pretty sure the whole pack is too. It's good you have finally accepted that you are a slut." Nancy's eyes widened in shock that Avy knew of the intercourse she had with Ericson. She intended to break Avy's heart with the news but little did she know that Avy was ready for her.
"Tell me, is it your wolf that has sex or you, because... The only thing I'm worried about is his earbuds after all that howling you did." Avyanna smiled proudly, unfazed at the fact that Ericson lay with Nancy.
Nancy boiled in reserved anger as Avyanna turned the conversation in her favor. "Nice tray. It's a shame we Omegas don't have the opportunity to eat whatever we want like you." Nancy was trying to change the conversation into something that would pique the caring side of Avyanna.
"Well, you can have whatever you want. Here." Avyanna held the tray towards Nancy, signalling for her to pick a meal. "Come on. Don't be shy."
"Okay. That's generous of you." Nancy stretched her fingers into the tray and picked the veggie sandwich up. Just as she was about to slide her fingers out of the tray, she purposely tipped the edge of the tray spilling all the dishes inside on the floor. A part of the food that spilled stained the negligee that Avyanna wore. "Oh my Gosh. I am so sorry my Luna." Nancy teased in a sarcastic manner as she slowly ate the veggie sandwich she took out of the tray.
The anger was evident on Avyanna's face after what Nancy did. She wondered why Nancy decided to show her real side in that moment. In the past, Nancy did not reveal her real side until much later. She wondered and worried that the timeline of the present was not in her favor.
"And you wonder why Omegas like you do not have the opportunity to get meals like this." Avyanna walked out of the room.
"Not so fast my Luna. This conversation is far from over." Nancy smiled deviously, with a dangerous aura, at Avyanna.
"Believe me, It is. Enjoy the meal." Avyanna pointed at the floor and scoffed.
"Oh, I doubt that." Nancy said as she bent to the floor and grabbed a chipped ceramic from the broken plates and held it up.
"What are you doing?" Avyanna asked.
"What am I doing? The real question is what are you doing?" She chuckled maniacally as she put the sharp ceramic to her face and slowly dragged it across he face. The blood slowly flowed from her face down to her chin and soaking her cloth. She slashed across her forehead, tearing her skin slowly and surgically with a dark smile on her face. "Just have you done to me?" She cried out.
"What? Are you bloody insane?" Avyanna was dumbstruck.
"I'm bloody alright, but I'm not insane. Matter of fact, I think I have never been more sane in my life." Nancy slashed her chest again hopped out of the room screaming, "I'm sorry my Luna. I will never disrespect you again."
Ericson heard her cries from afar and stormed towards the main kitchen to see a wailing Nancy. "What is this?" He thundered after seeing a bloodied and depraved Nancy. A crowd had gathered.
Nancy pointed weakly towards innocent Avyanna in the kitchen, standing beside the broken ceramic on the floor. Ericson sent a fiery gaze at Avyanna.
"What the hell have you done?" He roared at Avyanna, the Omega smiling wickedly at the Luna while in Ericson's arms.
