Not One Of Us But Our Master

Chapter 10

"Not one of us, but our master." They nod at each other, "he would be most happy to take you in, maybe then you would learn to keep your moth shut." He burns and his lackeys snicker at his comment,

"I'm not surprised that something like that would escape your mouth, you don't look like the smartest anyway." She fans herself and one of the maid accidentally trips on hearing her statement, all of them gasped but quickly ran to do their work before they got fired.

He was beyond embarrassed, and she has the proudest smirk on,

"It's always good to know your place Arcadia, you're just a woman after all." He reminds her of her status in the wolf community, women are treated as objects, gifts, toys, that can be used anyhow the men please,

"And I should remind you that a woman birthed you, and if she wished she would've killed you. We have the power of life and death, and if we want we would kill all of you." She smiles at them, "so please do respect yourself or you could be hanging from that tree over there." She points to the one outside where the guards previously hung.

But her little show of power was only exciting Czar the more, now he really wanted to subdue her, he wanted her to scream and take back everything she said, he wanted her to beg to make her his, to take her and spit her right back like she was garbage. He really wanted her.

He laughs a little and gives her a little clap, "I have to admit you're very funny princess, you would be most suitable for our master, he is in need of a mate." He inches closer to her but her blades stand in between them,

"I'm not a toy that you can just give to anyone, I don't know your master and I'm not interested in marrying him until I have a good idea of what he is like." She stresses before putting the fan down,

"Well, I understand you, women nowadays don't want to marry just anyone." He thinks for a while before turning to her with a wicked smirk, "let's just say that my master and I are like twins, were basically the same." His words make her cringe.

"If that's the case then I would never want to marry someone as rude and proud as you are." Everyone and everything freezes at her words, Czar is wide-eyed, "so you can take your proposal and shove it up your anus, and when you leave please use the door." She rises to her feet to take her leave,

"Are you rejecting him? You're rejecting alpha Mace, the alpha of the most powerful clan?? Do you even know who he is?!" He is infuriated at how pompous she could be.

"No, and I don't give a damn, if he is indeed interested in having me as a life partner then tell his mother to teach him some manners, he clearly has no respect for women. Good day gentlemen." She smiles caustically before leaving them.

Everyone was frozen in shock, he mentioned alpha Mace and she rejected him straight down, she didn't even bother to know who he was, and she insulted his mother again. Good Lord, what had Arcadia done?

She had proved her worth.

By the time Magnus was coming down he stairs, he was net with angry faces, and he was genuinely dumbfounded at why the men were so angry,

"Where is Arcadia?" He asks not seeing his daughter anywhere,

"You mean your precious little princess?" He was speaking as his gnashed his teeth against each other, "she is not even 18 yet but she has the pride of an ancient wolf with all knowledge in the universe, she insulted and rejected my master!!" Czar barks like the dog he is, Magnus felt his heart rate increase to a speed it wasn't supposed to, what had Arcadia done?!

"I'm sure she didn't mean it, please don't be offended by anything she said, she's still a child and—" he tries to explain until he is cut off,

"She insulted me, fine, I'm just a Beta, but no one insults my Master and lives to see another day. Bring her down and let her be punished for her wrong doing!! Is this how you let your women do anything they please?! Who will control them if not us?!"

"Be calm Czar, she will get her punishment accordingly, but I do implore you that you do stay for the night, as a humble request." He pleads and Czar thinks about it, his ego was shattered and he didn't wasn't to be at the receiving end of the woman who broke his pride.

"I refuse, master would hear of this if she doesn't apologise like she is supposed to." He demands that she be brought down,

"Someone bring the princess immediately!!" Magnus commands and they all scurry to bring Arcadia down, "she wants to drive me mad, there's not difference between her and her mother." He murmurs to himself, he needed to get her out as soon as possible then he would find a way to remove Xerxes and his wife away from his life.

Arcadia comes down after some time with a grim look on her face, she wasn't even down the stairs completely and Magnus had already began to shout at her,

"You insolent child!! You always have a way of tarnishing my image, apologize this instant!!" He commands her but she takes her time to come down the stairs, she is a princess after all and she shouldn't be rushed,

"Father before I do that I would implore you to make him apologize to me first." Her voice is as cool as winter and her eyes are even colder, "he injured my pride as your daughter and you expect me to keep quiet. Who dares call a woman weak and a play thing?"

"Women are not to talk back at their counterparts, it's a sign of humility and respect that needs to be given to us males." He bashes her and his image falls storeys in her eyes, she saw him differently.

"And what Is the difference between a woman and a man?" All heads turn to see the Queen of the kingdom, extravagantly dressed and he was accompanied by her best man, Xerxes.
