Chapter 66
3rd Person POV
The humiliation still didn’t stop. Asthrid walked over to her and glared at her, telling her who was the boss and superior between the two of them. “Now, maid, while you’re at it, why don’t you clean this mess up? You are just trash just like your dress, it suits you very fine. You belong with that place.” She told Krisna with a confident tone of voice. She wanted to keep this going to humiliate her even more. Just by pouring that bowl of punch on her was satisfying enough but it would be even more satisfying to make her clean it up for herself.
Krisna just looked at Asthrid while her entire body was shaking. She didn’t know at this point if it was because of humiliation or anger towards the woman in front of her. She wanted to fight back now or else Asthrid would keep on doing this kind of stuff to her. But instead, Krisna’s mind wouldn’t respond, she couldn’t think straight with all these people staring at them, especially at her. She really looked like a dirty rug with the dress and the bowl of punch. She wanted to burst into tears, but she couldn’t, it was like all the systems in her body were deactivated.
“Can’t you hear me, you little maggot? I said, clean the mess that you made. Now, kneel down and use that dress to wipe it off clean.” Asthrid commanded her in a firm tone of voice, she became even more furious when Krisna remained standing while staring at her. Krisna was about to cry, but she couldn’t let it slide, she couldn’t let these people see that she also had a weak side. “What? You don’t want to obey me, huh? Watch this.” Asthrid was very angry, she grabbed Krisna’s hair and pulled her to the ground, making her kiss the wet floor.
The people gasped, and they wanted to stop her now, but the people beside them were stopping them to interfere with the scene. What she was doing to Krisna was out of the limits, she was being too much.
Asthrid laughed evilly with a smirk on her face. She was enjoying it, she was enjoying seeing Krisna suffer, especially in front of these many people while Mabelle was also silently rejoicing because of their success. “This is what you really deserve! Here, clean this side as well. Come on!” Asthrid pulled Krisna’s hair to the right side where there were still some punches and made her wipe it with Krisna’s face.
People wanted to stop them at this moment, even Greco was very furious, he wanted to go there and stop Asthrid from hurting her.
“What’s with all this commotion?! What’s happening here?” All the people inside the venue hall stopped and looked at the woman who just got inside. It was the Alpha’s mother, Letizia. She looked very infuriated as she was standing at the entrance door.
Asthrid was shocked for a moment that she couldn’t even move any of her muscles. Her eyes were wide open and her heart started to beat fast, she didn’t know what Letizia might do to her.
Letizia started to walk in the middle and went in their direction. She was surprised when she saw Krisna’s face was kissing the floor and Asthrid was the one holding her down. “What on earth are you doing, young lady? Stop this at once!” She commanded her and Asthrid stood up right away to fix her gown and look at Mom Letizia. She couldn’t speak because it was Alpha Grant’s mother they were talking about. She was vicious and Asthrid didn’t really want to make a bad impression, but this happened.Text property © Nôvel(D)ra/ma.Org.
When she turned to look at Asthrid who was looking at her with her teary eyes, she became even more furious. She didn’t like what she did to Krisna, no one would. Letizia bent down and held Krisna’s hands. “It’s alright, sweetheart. You can stand up now, let me guide you.” Letizia told Krisna in a very calm and sweet tone of voice. Krisna slowly nodded her head and stood up from the floor.
She was only looking down, she didn’t want to let anybody see her face at the moment. She was mortified and it was her entire being that lost face. Krisna couldn’t take it anymore, she tried to move her feet and she could finally move them.
“Are you okay, dear?” Letizia asked her once again, but instead of receiving an answer from her, she finally managed to run away from the ball. She took all her courage and started to run off without knowing where her feet might lead her. She just wanted to get out of there as soon as she could because her tears were about to fall and she couldn’t let them, especially Asthrid, see her cry.
“I don’t deserve this. I don’t deserve this!” She repeatedly said inside her mind as she continued to run away. Asthrid forced her to come to the Annual Pack Gathering because she thought she needed some assistance, but little did she know that Asthrid only wanted to embarrass her in front of the public. Krisna only hoped that she was happy now that she successfully embarrassed her in front of them. Asthrid really wouldn’t stop until she could make Krisna’s life miserable, she always wanted to take the spotlight because she felt like Krisna was stealing something from her when in fact she had no rival at all.
Back in the venue hall, people were still flabbergasted by what happened. All eyes were focused on Asthrid and Letizia and no one dared to make a sound.
Letizia turned her gaze to Asthrid once again. “You ruined the Annual Pack Gathering and caused so much of a commotion. I don’t know what to do with you anymore.” She said in a very disappointed tone of voice.
Asthrid was also speechless, she couldn’t say a word but what shocked her the most was when Alpha Grant was looking at her. He was at the entrance of the venue hall and he saw everything that happened. Krisna passed by him when she ran away, but he still didn’t try to chase after her.
Instead, the Alpha walked in their direction. People were even more surprised now that the situation had become even more serious. Alpha Grant, the host of the party, and his mother Letizia were now in front of Asthrid and they both looked disappointed.
Grant held his mother to calm her down, she might be attacked by her illness if she continued to feel extreme emotions. “Let me handle it, mom. Just go and take some rest.” He told Letizia as he leaned forward to whisper in her ears. Letizia just nodded at him and backed off. She went out of the venue hall to get some fresh air. She couldn’t take Alpha Jaster’s daughter anymore, the party was supposed to be fun and not to be ruined by someone.
In addition to that, Letizia wanted to save Krisna because she was the fated mate for her grandson, Grant. She couldn’t let anyone harm her at any cost, but she was late, she was still humiliated in front of everyone.
As soon as Letizia got out of the venue hall, Grant looked at Asthrid very firmly, he was also disappointed as much as his mom was. “What came into your mind and you did this petty thing?” He asked in a neutral tone of voice.
Asthrid was still speechless, she couldn’t utter a word. She was doomed, not the Alpha was mad at her and that was something that she couldn’t accept ever in her life. “B-But Alpha, she was the one who initiated the fight.” She tried to explain but the Alpha saw everything, and so he disagreed.
Grant glared at her even more and it made her feel unguarded. For the first time, she felt like her life was in danger. Asthrid wanted to burst into tears. “Maybe you can fool other people easily, but not me, Asthrid. Stop with your poor acting because I saw everything. I am warning you… stop oppressing someone who doesn’t have the power to fight back. Is that how low you can get? Stop going after Krisna anymore.” Grant told her in a cold tone of voice.
Asthrid was close to tearing up, but she was still mad at Krisna. She didn’t know why, but she was not satisfied with the results. She finally succeeded in making her embarrassed in front of these people inside the venue hall, but she felt like she was still the one who lost the game. Was it because mom Letizia and Grant came to her rescue? She couldn’t accept it and now Krisna ran away.
Grant didn’t mind everyone, the party was over the moment that the commotion happened. He wanted to chase after Krisna, but she still didn’t. He fought it off and remained where he was. Maybe, Krisna needed some time with herself at the moment. He knew how embarrassing that was if he was in her shoes.
