Chapter 4 - The king's palace

The cunning lady's name was Sharon and when she finished explaining what all the four ladies had to do, she told Vivian to stay behind as she wanted to have a word with her. It wasn't the first time Vivian had been in such a situation, as she was the only stubborn woman who refused to accept her fate the way it was.

Vivian watched everyone leave the room and stood on the spot she was staying, waiting for Sharon to come to her. As it was Sharon who wanted to discuss with Vivian, she had to give up her pride and walked up to Vivian because she knew that Vivian was very stubborn and that they might spend eternity in the room if she waited for Vivian to come to her.

"Don't mess this up for me…" she sighed, thinking of how to communicate with Vivian in a way that would convince her to do things the way she wanted. "Look, I also don't want a life like this, but once you are weak, the strong treat you less human, and we cannot fight it because we are fucking weak, don't you get that?" In frustration, she explained, but Vivian was decisive and wasn't brainwashed by what she heard.

She knew that she could get stronger and that had nothing to do with her being an omega. "Perhaps if we fight, omegas will be treated differently. We aren't weak, we just don't possess a wolf and without a wolf, we are humans!" For once, she thought someone was going to hear her voice but…she made the mistake of expecting too much.

"For fuck sake, Vivian, can't you just cooperate like others?" with widened eyes, she yelled at Vivian. "Don't you dare mess this up for me and if you do that even if it's by mistake, I will make your life a living hell, trust me in this!" Sharon glared wickedly at Vivian who looked unshaken by her threat. Everyone in the club, both the staff and her fellow women, hated her gut and why she was different.

Vivian didn't know how to react to that. She never had friends because she was an omega. Her deceased father was her only friend and when the Alpha didn't reject her, she thought she had another companion in this world, but everything came crumbling within a week.

Now she was surrounded by her enemies and any mistake she made they were all more than ready to make her more miserable, but she wouldn't stop her goal of being powerful in a world where wolfless wolves are considered slaves to those with wolves.

Sharon left the room with her eyes sternly on Vivian. When she left, Vivian stood looking into space for a while as she thought about her life and how she was going to end the Lycan king's life.

She knew very well that if she ended the Lycan king's life it would affect her in many ways, and she could even get killed. However, she didn't care if she died because of her action of killing the Lycan king. It somehow ended up being her life's mission.

It was a Friday evening when the four ladies were driven to the castle for their work.

While the three others were entertaining the Lycan king, Vivian was going around the castle to learn more about her environment. If she didn't succeed that night, she would return but with knowledge of the castle.

She was getting somewhere with her plan until she got caught by one of the guards as she was going into a place that no one was allowed to get into. She even got curious about the place as he dragged her back to the room where the Lycan king was enjoying his night with the other officials.

She was pushed into the room just when the Lycan king had entered a room with one of the virgins brought especially for him.

No one noticed her presence and absence because she wasn't making any effort to be seen, and she had no impact on any one of them. Besides, most of the officials had left with some other women.

Vivian exited the room soon after the guard left as no one had their attention on her.

Vivian had pretty blue eyes with long red hair. Her height wasn't average, meaning she was a bit short, one of the reasons she wasn't always noticed when she sneaked.

She watched everywhere around her as she snuck back to the place she was caught. As expected, she saw two guards around that place, pacing back and forth.

'I wonder what must be going on in that room?' she thought and studied the guards to see if they could leave their post if something were to happen.

She looked around her and tossed something on the floor to make a sound and when it did, one of the guards went to check.

However, this act wasn't enough to assure her that they could leave their post.

Vivian felt like she had gotten enough information and decided to leave for the main purpose she was in the palace.

Meanwhile, Vivian was being searched for in the entertaining room. She thought the Lycan king wouldn't need anyone since one of her mates had gone, but when she returned, she was wrong.

She entered the room cluelessly and met Sharon standing somewhere around. When Sharon laid her eyes on Vivian, she went forward to her and landed a tight slap on her face.

"Where the hell were you?!" In a loud voice, she asked.

Vivian was touching her face as she glared at Sharon. The lady leaned closer to her, pinching Vivian's nipple, which hurt because it was with her fingernails she used to torture Vivian.

"Didn't I tell you not to mess things up for me?" Her voice came out like a whisper.

Vivian couldn't speak as none of her words made sense to anyone around her, so she kept quiet.

Sharon, not receiving a response from Vivian, pulled away. She scratched her nose bridge, looking at Vivian, thinking of what she'd do about her.

The third of them came back into the room in tears as she failed to entice the Lycan king, not in any way, and she was scolded for being so useless.

Sharon sighed in frustration. She had failed just like the other head maid. There was no point in hoping that Vivian would bring her victory, so she considered herself defeated, but to prove that she had done her best, she sent Vivian into the room where Lycan would come for her.
