When she was tempted to enter without permission, she noticed a sweet Omega approaching the office. On seeing her, a mischievous smile spread across her face; she looked fragile and naive, so it was clear that things needed to be set straight with that ornamental Queen. She might be the King's Mate, but others should enjoy the handsome King without any complaints.
"Are you Thesai Arente? Well, I was expecting someone more impressive. I'm Mirtha Jelinier, a pureblood alpha, and I just want to make it clear to you that you might be the King's Mate, but I have the lineage to be at his side. Soon he will need a partner of his stature. It’s not bad to just be a lover and a decoy, you should know your place," she declared arrogantly while Tess tilted her head, intrigued.
"Are you speaking to me?" Tess asked, locking eyes with her while Mirtha rolled her eyes in response.
"Of course I'm talking to you. Don't think you’re some insignificance, Omega Queen," Mirtha fired back haughtily while Tess just watched her closely.
"Kneel," stated the girl, observing Mirtha with a graceful air – she was beautiful and kind, but there was something about her that suggested she shouldn’t be troubled.
"Ha! Stupid Omega, I do not—," Mirtha began, but Tess didn’t let her finish her retort.
"Karam, make her kneel," Tess ordered, focusing intensely on Mirtha.
At that moment, the huge beast lunged at Mirtha, the alert secretary who was ready to defend the Queen was shocked by the appearance of the enormous animal; such an outcome was unexpected.
For her part, Mirtha was terrified; she could see in the swirling dark eyes of the Lycan, black as voids, that it lacked humanity or reason.
"Mirtha pureblood alpha, kneel or die," Tess commanded in her soft and sweet voice.
Mirtha was stuttering, the enormous snout of the animal mere inches from her face.
"Ma... Majesty, I’m... I’m so sorry, I was wrong, I’ll kneel, I’ll kneel," she gasped almost breathless.
With a click of her tongue, Tess signaled and Karam immediately returned to her side like an obedient and submissive guardian.
Mirtha stood up, unsteady, not understanding how this simple Omega could command an animal like that, until she heard Karam's threatening growl and instantly dropped to her knees, placing her head on the ground in utter submissiveness.
The secretary stood speechless, witnessing a Lycan alpha in such a submissive state was rare; the Queen was definitely full of surprises.
"Mirtha, apologize. I have not wronged you enough for you to treat me this way. Do not dare to be rude in front of me. I don’t want my King to have to deal with this nonsense. So when I speak, you Mirtha Jelinier, a pureblood Lycan alpha, listen quietly. I dislike you and do not want you near my King; he is mine, my Mate. If I see you flirting, I will take care of you publicly," Tess stated, gazing at Mirtha, who trembled at the feeling of the agitated breathing of the massive Lycan standing by the Queen.
"Majesty, it won’t happen again; I’ll be cautious, I promise," Mirtha said, swallowing hard as tears threatened to fall, aware she could die at any moment. This Omega was not as she seemed; Mirtha couldn’t comprehend where such defiance and control emanated from.
"Good," Tess said with a lovely smile before turning to Karam.
"Karan, my little rascal, back to your cages. I'll visit you again tomorrow," she chirped, watching the creature lower its head and gaze at her like a puppy to its master before leaving, cutting a path through the people who were nearly petrified.
Tess scratched her nose and entered her Mate’s office, greeted the secretary who was still agape, and excused herself into the bathroom when she saw Anubis looking puzzled. She blew him a kiss, knowing he’d scold her for her actions.
Anubis smiled, getting the full blow-by-blow account from his secretary through their bond. Outside, Mirtha was weeping uncontrollably, feeling like she had nearly died. Tess was truly bold, employing a wild Lycan to corner a domineering Lycan was madness. The elder wolves of the council demanded explanations about the Queen's escapade, while Anubis massaged his temple, aware that this puppy was growing into a true Queen, one who could stir up the Royal pack when she set her mind to it.
"Thesai Arente, come here, puppy. I want you to explain, was there a wild Lycan in the lobby of my office?" Anubis queried as Tess peeked from the bathroom door, her expression that of pretended innocence.
Anubis scrutinized her and wanted to laugh at his beautiful, mischievous girl who was growing more confident by the day.
