Return of the Alpha's Daughter

47

Two young women appeared in front of me. Their hair was all nice and well done along with perfectly manicured nails. They appeared they had never worked a day in their lives. I thought for a moment. Firing them would be way to easy. Plus this place needed to be cleaned. "Jessica and Kendall" Marcus said introducing the two. When they did not bow right away two warriors behind them made them.

"Can the two of you explain to me why this place is disgusting" They did not say a word. "Well are you not paid to clean this place?" I asked them. Again no answer. Marcus spoke up "Yes Queen Dream. They are paid quite well" he answered. "Well then Kendall and Jessica, you see these two warriors behind you. Well they now have a different job. They are going to ensure that this place is cleaned spotless from top to bottom as it should have been done all along. If you fail to do this then you will be charged with embezzlement for taking money from the kingdom for services not performed. Do you two understand?" I asked them. Their faces said it all. They were mad, but I was madder. The warriors took them away to get everything that they would need and so we could continue with the tour. "Very good Dream"my mother told me like I had just passed a test.

The place was gigantic. It was at least five times the size of the pack house. There also was a huge library that had the entire kingdoms history in it. It also contained books about the originals and their records. Those were inside of a shatterproof glass cabinet. ""Those are for looks only, unless it is you" my mother warned. I nodded. I knew they would contain information in them that others would love to know

The first floor consisted of offices, meeting rooms, conference hall and then a gigantic ball room. "Your reception will be in here and it opens to the outside. like the conference hall at the pack house" my mother explained. I just nodded. There was a nursery as well that looked very unsafe. There were no alarms, no doors and the gates that were up were broken. I wouldn't dare leave a child there. Anybody could walk out with a child that didn't belong to them. I saw my parents looking at it as tears threatened to fall from her eyes. They both were thinking about the day I was kidnapped. I wrote down a note about it and I would definitely have Nathan get with the contractors on it immediately. I just did not think now was the time to be mentioning that.

Marcus could feel the tension in my parents so we moved on quickly. Next he showed us the gym. Now this room was immaculate It had all of the top notch equipment that you could possibly ever need. There was also a sauna in the back. "I know where I will be" Gus said looking around. He was definitely the king of fitness for sure. He lived to work out.

The next area Marcus took us to were an empty theatre room and more empty spaces. it didn't make much sense to me. Marcus took us down stairs to show us the garage. The entire basement was as large as the palace and was a garage for all of the vehicles. And it was packed full. "Who needs this many vehicles" I asked looking at my father. you could see his face turning redder and redder. He was mad. I looked at Marcus who was just shaking his head no. Then I looked at a licence plate. 'REBECCA1, REBECCA2 ' and so on all the way to 10. This was ridiculous. No wonder my father was so angry seeing the way his brother had spent the Kingdom's money. Yes technically it was the palaces because of taxes, payments and all of that but that was not the point. .

As we went up into the top floor, the king and queen floor I was shocked. Not so much by the size of the room, or the enormous closets or by every luxury that someone could have on one floor, but the fact that the room had been ransacked. Dresser drawers were opened and empty, clothes were absolutely everywhere, jewelry boxes empty, even the king and queen crowns were missing. The ones that My grandparents had passed down to them. My father was glowing red. "WARRIORS!!" He shouted making the entire palace shake. Within seconds a group of warriors were there.

"YES SIR?" They shouted in unison. "Who has had access to this floor?" he demanded to know. "No one sir" the head one of the group answered. "Well clearly that is not the case cause someone has been up here" Marcus stepped in saying. The one warrior looked at Marcus like he could rip his throat out. "I don't care if you stand there and stare at me like that because it is evident that someone was not doing there job or don't know what the hell they are talking about. Now I want the warriors assigned to keep watch over this floor in this room in two minutes do I make myself clear" Marcus asked him. "That would be me sir" the warrior answered back. "And who is your partner?" Marcus asked. Now I knew why the man was so defensive seeing he was the one in charge of it. a boy around eighteen or so stepped up. "I am sir" He answered, his voice a little shaky. "What is your name?" I asked him looking at the boy. "Justin, my Queen". "Ok Justin, will you please tell me what happened up here" I asked calmly to get him to calm down. I honestly thought he would urinate on himself the way he was shaking. "No, no, no mam I cannot" He said stuttering. "And why can't you Justin if tmit was your assignment to watch over this floor" I asked him trying not to lose my patience with him. "Because I was relieved of my duty" he answered. "Ok since I am the Queen and I know that I did not relieve you of this duty, and that would be the only way you could be relieved, who is it that is giving out orders for me that I did not give" I asked him. My parents both looked at me shocked that I knew that. I'm not sure how I did, but I knew I was right. "He, he ,he did Queen Dream" Justin said pointing back to the other warrior still staring daggers at Marcus. Marcus was about to have a field day with that one I thought. "Am I in tr..tr..trouble my Queen" Justin asked still stuttering. "No Justin. You are not in trouble. But from now on, know that the only one that can relieve you from your post is myself or the King when he is announced. Only others would be the ones you see before you. You will follow their orders the same as if it were me giving them. Is that clear?" I asked. "Yes mam" he answered stepping back into line.
