Chapter 3
“Who’s here again? I don’t exactly know who you’re talking about do I?” She was sarcastic, the servant then suddenly looked nervous, in my mind, I was imagining him exploding in front of Asthrid.
He then cleared his throat and fixed his posture. “It’s… It’s your father ma’am.” He was hesitant, like I was when I talked to her last time. He wasn’t sure if she’d get furious or not, as I was.
But I was actually surprised that she didn’t throw a tantrum, or just flat out got furious at the person she was talking to, if that was me, I surely would’ve gotten another mouthful from her. “Krisna!” Asthrid suddenly turned to my direction and looked like she was looking for her next prey.
I was startled and looked her in the eyes. “Yes?” That’s all I could say since she looked like she could go off at any time and just explode.
“Come with me to the living room, I’m quite sure my father is there.” She just plain out told me to come with her.
At this point, I was quite confused about why I have to come with her just to see father who is just in the living room. “Okay ma’am.” I wasn’t sure on how to respond, so I just agreed and just went on with the flow.
The moment I saw father, he was actually quite charming, his voice sounded deep, but not too deep, it was just in the middle. He was charismatic as well.
Asthrid didn’t look too excited to see father, she was just staring at him while waiting for him to say what he’s going to say to her. “What is it? This is a surprise visit.” She said to father with almost little to no respect for him.
But he just took this like his child was throwing a tantrum at him, all I could see was a spoiled child talking back to her father with no respect whatsoever. “I’m just going to make this quick so just listen well, I have something to tell you that you might like. Pack your bags sweetie.” He stopped talking to make the surprise more suspense than it already is.
Asthrid was curious and so was I, but she couldn’t wait to know what her father was talking about. “Come on! What is it?!” She yelled at him as she looked like she was feeling the euphoria in her veins. Father chuckled and smiled at the two of us. “You are invited to the Annual Pack Gathering!” He shouted with that enthusiastic voice of his.
She just screamed at the top of her lungs as she was excited to even be there. “Oh really?! Thank you! Thank you so much!” Her tone from earlier just disappeared out of nowhere, it changed to a more lively and excited tone.
“It is to be held at the Snow Pack this year, so you know that the venue isn’t exactly normal.” He said in a serious voice as he looked enthusiastic about the whole thing.
I didn’t understand much about what the two were talking about aside from the obvious, I was kind of excited for her as well, even if she is a horrible human being. “Alpha Grant!” She suddenly uttered the name out of nowhere while she was in the middle of a conversation with father.
That name seemed familiar to me, but it wasn’t ringing any bells at all.
“I can’t wait to meet him! I almost forgot that they’re going to be at the Annual Pack Gathering!” She sounded and looked ecstatic, Asthrid was having a blast, just from thinking about the Annual Pack Gathering.
As I watched her, filled with joy as she imagines her fantasies in the Annual Pack Gathering, I then realized something dreadful. Since she is going to the Annual Pack Gathering, then I have to come with her as well. I did not see this coming, all I could do at the moment was to just accept everything and move on. “Umm… Do I have to come with you to the Annual Pack Gathering?” I asked her in a gentle tone of voice to see if she would let me off easy with this one.
But she just looked me in the eyes for a couple of seconds before laughing a little. “What do you think? Are you seriously this dumb? Do I have to tell you everything? Especially the obvious?” She started to talk to me with sarcasm, I knew that questioning her wouldn’t end well at all.
I just tried to look as clueless as I possibly can by looking at the ground or the ceiling and avoiding eye contact with her. “I’m sorry, I was just not sure earlier. Thank you for clearing it up for me.” I said to her with a sarcastic voice in which she almost immediately noticed.
She started to get furious again, she was about to throw another fit, when suddenly father stepped in the middle of us and was able to control Asthrid and prevent her from even shouting at me. “Please, just calm down. You could have another acne on your face if you’re always stressed, or you could even lose your hair.” She started to scare her, in which he actually succeeded.
Asthrid tried her best to behave as she didn’t want to get any of those things, even if she looked like she wanted to punch me right in the face at the moment, she was able to control herself. “Sorry and I don’t want to get any of that, especially when the Annual pack gathering is nearing right around the corner.” She said in an enthusiastic voice as she changed her attitude.
I was confused on why she would just change like that, I didn’t know at this moment if she was just joking, or if she was really dumb. But her father was able to get her off of my back for now.
“So… Krisna, get my things ready, I’m going to do a little experimentation about my clothing, and what I’m going to wear on the Annual Pack Gathering.” She just said to me without even shouting at me.
I just nodded at her, and got everything setup for Asthrid in her room.Text property © Nôvel(D)ra/ma.Org.
