Fate's Dark Side Chapter 452

They looked at me and immediately bowed their heads.

I approached them, and they parted to create a path for me to see what was happening in the centre.

What I saw was alarming.

Amelia was in her underwear, with the silver bracelet on her wrist, and they had scratched and beaten her.

That wasn't all; her eyes were wolfish blue, also an unusual eye colour for a wolf, but that wasn't what surprised me. I wondered how she could still hold on to her wolf while bound with silver.

"Freak!" I heard someone call her, and I tried to look at who the person was.

I slapped her hard across the cheek, and the rest of them knew to be silent.

"What happened here?" I asked, and Amelia's wolf receded. It was as if she was holding on for me to come.

Macy walked up to me with Tamia's pearls in her hand.

"Jeana found this in Amelia's drawer. I walked in on the chaos. They had clamped the silver on her wrist and began to beat her before I arrived. They claimed she stole it from your house, and I know it belongs to Queen Tamia," Macy said, and I collected the pearls from her.

"I know you had warned us that she steals, but I wasn't expecting this from her. I did not want to believe it, Alpha, but they found it in her drawer," Macy added.

I held the pearl in my fist and looked at Amelia.

"Why did you take it? I thought you said all you needed was a job?" I asked, but she was speechless. She finally let her tears fall as if she knew there was no winning for her.

I wondered how often she might have been in a situation like this to make her feel there was no need to defend herself.

I looked at her for a while and knew she did not do it.

Someone was trying to set her up.

Amelia wasn't the type to cry when caught red-handed. She had a smart mouth and was defiant. She had been wronged. What was I thinking, putting a delta amid omegas? They wanted to lynch her.

"Who found it?" I asked, and they pointed at a red-haired called Jeana.

I asked her to step out.

"What were you looking for in her dresser? Is that how you snoop about, searching through people's belongings?" I asked her, and she shook her head, looking scared.

"She was acting funny when she arrived last night, Alpha. I watched her look around before placing something in the drawer. I had to check because of what Macy told us you said," She defended herself.

"Who clamped the silver on her wrist?" I asked Macy, and she pointed at Mirabel, the maid that used to cook my food. She was horrible at it too.

"And who incited the mob to join hands and beat Amelia?" I asked, and Macy pointed at the two other girls I did not know.

"There will be no wages for all of you this month for daring to beat my chef. You have no right to dish out punishments. She is above you all!!" I declared and looked at Macy and shook my head.

"It seems they are beyond your control now," I said, and she bowed.

I walked to the women that incited the mob and slapped them hard.

"Next time you try this shit, I will relieve you two of your duties," I said.

Then moved to Mirabel and Jeana and slapped them too.

"How dare you try to frame someone just because you don't like them?" I asked them, and they were crying. They were too afraid to deny what they did. It was just as I had thought.

"You two are no longer needed here. Pack your things and leave," I said to them.

Then looked at the women and looked at Amelia on the floor.

I was wrong to tell them she steals and they should keep an eye on her. That was why they did what they did. I was also wrong to send her to live with the Omegas.

"Pack her things and move them to my house. She has no business being here." I ordered Macy, took the sheets off a bed, wrapped them around Amelia, and then carried her out of the place.

"Don't get used to this treatment, Moonlight. I just love your food," I teased her, but she remained silent, still shocked at what had happened.

It was going to be temporary. Until I could find her proper accommodation close by because there was no way I was letting go of good food.
