Ezras's POV
"HEY?"
Hearing shouting, I snap out of my imagination that I had beaten him and told him many things, when in reality, I was still sitting on the ground after getting slapped by him.
It's not that I can't hit him in reality, but the thing is, if I really hit him now, what if he killed me or sent me back?
And if I went back, my father would do something with my mother first and then was gonna kill me too. So, let's play innocent.
Cuz I can't just beat him after all—he is the prince of this pack, and this is normal for an Alpha to hit an Omega. That's what I have heard till now, but I don't like this.
He had said so many bad things to me, but let's chill and take things with the brain. That's why I stand up and stand in front of him while staring into his eyes.
"Just cuz your lover told you I called him a whore and didn't become friends with him, you come here to punish me?" I scoff and take steps toward the bed.
I sat down on it while crossing one leg over the other.
"Do you think I was joking? If yes, then try me. I will really teach you a lesson."
"Get out of my room right now if you don't know how to talk to someone. And I think it's you who needs to learn how not to behave recklessly."
His eyes were red after hearing me. A frown was on his forehead, telling me how angry he was. But I don't care, cuz I didn't hit him—which was more than enough. He left the room, surprised after hearing me.
"Master, are you alright?" Vian touched my cheek and applied some ointment to it.
"It's nothing—just a slap. But I will pay him back for this slap one day, cuz now is not the right time."
Time was passing very slowly, and it was so cold there that every wave of cold breeze was making me shiver. Just then, a servant brought dinner for me, and I realized it was already night.
In the while, the door creaked open and a girl with white wolf ears and a white tail, wearing a maid outfit, stepped inside the room.
I didn't sense any pheromones from her—I think she was using a pheromone suppressor.
After coming inside, she first bowed and then glanced up at me. I was sitting on the chair, combing my hair, and Vian was behind me.
"His Highness has summoned you for dinner," she stated with a professional and elegant tone, both of her hands resting on her stomach as she bowed slightly in front of me.
"I don't want to eat dinner with him. Bring my dinner to my room,"
I said, my eyes on her. She straightened up upon hearing me and joined both hands while looking at me.
"Forgive me for my rudeness, but it's His Highness's order—you can't refuse it."
I don't know why they are calling me to have dinner with them, because I'm not even interested in seeing their faces. But I will have to go and see.
"Okay, let me get ready," I said, standing up to get ready, since I was wearing casual clothes.
The maid nodded and stepped back, standing beside the door to wait for me. Meanwhile, I got ready and left with Vian and that maid.
As we were walking through the hallway, there were many paintings of nature.
Luxurious pots with fresh flowers in them were also placed along the way.
Just then, she stopped, and I realized we were standing in front of a big door. From inside, I could hear chattering and laughter.
She pushed the door open, and I stepped inside with Vian. I saw that only two brothers were there.
They turned as they noticed my presence, and both glared at me before looking away.
The two brothers were sitting there, and in the main seat, the First Prince was seated. That omega, Rin, was sitting beside the Second Prince.
Servants were serving food onto the plates. Only the Third Prince was absent.
I stepped forward, and Rin noticed me. As he did, he quickly got up from his chair.
"Ezra, you're here? Come, have a seat."
His eyes were shining, and his face was beaming—like he was really happy to see me there. One of his hands was resting on the dining table as he turned to look at me.
I smiled and took a step forward, sitting down on the side of the dining table where all the chairs were empty.
I glanced at Rin. He also sat down but was looking at me while smiling. I looked away. Just then, a servant came to me to serve the food. They were about to, but—
"Don't serve him food yet. He can't eat unless Rin finishes his eating," the First Prince, Zevian, said.
I froze there, my eyes on him. What does he mean by I can't eat unless Rin finishes eating?
I noticed Rin—he was looking at me with a gloomy face, and then he turned his head toward Zevian.
"What are you saying? Why would Ezra wait until I finish eating? It's not fair and not right, Zevian," Rin said.
"Darling, I am doing this for you. He hurt you—you cried so much, so how can I let him eat the food in peace?"
Zevian's words were only a burden on my chest. I grabbed the chair and stood up, because I didn't want to eat anymore. But that didn't make any difference to Zevian at all, because he doesn't care whether I eat or not.
But Rin stopped eating.
"No, Ezra, don't go. Zevian is just kidding. You can eat now—there's no need to wait for me."
"Rin, I'm not a kid who doesn't understand who is kidding or not. And talking about food—I'm not hungry anymore. After all, I can't swallow water in an enemy clan, can I?"
