ENTRY OF THE ALPHAS

ENTRY OF THE ALPHAS _

The monkey came out looking so dashing and expensive...what is this old dog after now...he cheated on mother... didn't even bother to avenge his daughter instead makes a huge feast.. I am anxious to see what becomes of this little dinner..

Mother had a gloomy face as we ate.. Zuma finally cleared his good for nothing mouth to probably say trash talk...

" Disaster as struck us..we have to move on quickly..." He chocked on his drink and I wished mother did not pass him a glass of water..at least he would die before he makes any action against me...

He was about to continue when two men came in... they looked so alike... definitely twins and looked so much like Zuma... Oh heavens...is this his bastard children...?

My mother stared at them but soon look away unhappily..my guess was correct then...they are the heir to anthill...

" Meet Zainrald and Zealot...my sons..." They smiled and bowed slightly at us, I felt like wiping them from the face of the earth...

" I know it's a lot to take in but with them here we don't need to fear...males are naturally protectors..." Zuma was obviously happy...

" We wish to make you both happy..." ....

I felt so sad inside...just few days and we have been replaced... judging from their look they have been born a long time...while I was busy trying to get favor of this wretched monkey... what a joke...!!

They began to talk but my mother's silence made them shiver...she didn't say anything neither did she replied them when they asked her what was wrong. They stared at each other feeling down..

' it's best you know your place...!' I thought but then again I am a bastard...so why judge them... ironic.. really suffocating.

The dinner was dull.. I didn't bother eating at all.. I just drank the wine served to me.. I need to get intoxicated maybe I'll do the needful with my life!

Mother left first without a word... and I followed suit...

" Violet... aren't you going to say anything ti your brothers...?" This monkey is really testing my patience... what's there to talk about...?

" Sure....!" A wicked smile crept on my face and they all stared at me like am a witch or something..

" Do put up a good show for your father...he loves it!" I seized the smile on my face which make me look more serious... I bowed slightly and left the dinning hall..

I went to Ivory grave to gossip about her new found brothers...

" Are you at peace...? Are you happy knowing fully well that you have been replaced just in few days...? Everyone will support them soon enough...our practice for nothing all these years was all fantasy! Look at the people you died to protect... only if you had let me spill and all these people including those bastards would have joined you and we could have torture Zuma together...we are beautiful the devil would give us a chance to see him tortured won't he...?

You not being able to fight for your place is the greatest torture of all that you had to endure for a life time..."

After saying a few words in tears I went to my room hoping to gain some peace and quiet but as an illegitimate child you can't seem to gain any peace!

The maid came in with a dress from the monkey for me to prepare for the ball tomorrow...the worst color ti give to me is orange... Too shining and not my style. This old crook want to start to humiliate me.. let's see about that.

**********

Getting attention and attraction is one of my very skills.. I wasn't born a beautiful princess for nothing and I wasn't spoiled.

I used to learn some sewing secretly and they came in handy as at now. Redesigning the dress into a speck of beauty was my vicious plan to drive all attention to myself. Maybe I'll find a powerful suitor at this little plan of mine.

I took a flowery bath with rose petals and make sure I smell absolutely nice and unresistable. I refused any help from the maids.. this is my own get back battle number one....

I got ready after seeing myself in the mirror... I nodded feeling so proud of the beauty staring back at me. I purposely went in late so as to attract more people.

Everyone present at the party had their reasons for coming....some came to see the bastards who would easily replace alive and dead princess..., Some came to gossip but was beheaded for it so everyone kept their thoughts to themselves.

The two princes were not looking bad... everyone's favorite was Zealot...so handsome and refined but he can't get to the top of their love list all because he is handsome...

Speaking of list... Violet was number one..she walked in graciously with calculated steps and swift movements. She beamed with a simple smile that spoke of her sadness of her sister death and her untimely replacement and the choice of moving on...

" The princess is so beautiful...if princess Ivory was alive they would have wore the same dress... it's pitiful she's putting up a strong face despite being replaced..." One muttered silently

" She isn't the ambassador of anthill for nothing..." Another agreed

" But it's a bit sad that it's all going to be a past story..." Another added..

Everyone's eyes were on her through out.. and even when she was publicly removed as the ambassador of anthill..she smiled and said few words...

" Wishing good luck in putting up a good show.... " With a prefect yet fake smile on her face. She moved in with the crowd and chatted with different people of high status... Unlike the twins who felt unfamiliar and left out... but one person still made some few fans....' Zealot...' he was naturally enthusiastic and friendly..he was able to mingle perfectly unlike his brother who sat on his seat all long...

" I didn't expect you'll feel so better and looking so beautiful..."

" Prince Albert..." Violet bowed slightly

" Let's not be too formal... just Albert..." He smiled back..

" It's being a while... thanks for resucing me..." She smiled

" It's no problem...you don't deserve what happened to you... even this... sudden replacement" he felt so sad for her...

" It's all fate... I can't do anything about it. Everything has a season and end..this is mine.." she smiled bitterly

" I wish I can help you...how about a marriage alliance? If that happens you can be the most respected queen ever. Besides my father would love it..." He smiled shyly.. she walked closer leaning forward at him...

" I can't sell myself no matter what...if I want respect I already have it and I'll earn more not by marrying you.. don't push it too much Albert!" She wasn't smiling anymore and he felt stupid

" Am sorry..." He apologies but our little missy is more upset ever since she arrived at the palace...she has just been concealing it perfectly.

Violet's eyes and that of Zuma met and she saw him gritting his teeth but she only smiled at h and existing the hall...her mission was completed and it's only the beginning...

" Sister...!" A voice called her back... only Ivory calls her sister she felt irritated hearing this man call her sister

It was Zealot looking so handsome but she cares less about that...his respectful bow made her want to puke...a seedling of Zuma acting all nice...what else is she going to see tonight?

" You look beautiful tonight..." He added hoping to work his charm up on her head...but her serious gaze make him cut such plans off

"I'll go straight to the point then... I know you don't accept us as siblings...due to the loss of our sister.. Ivory...we are not anyone's replacement..we just want to make the rest of our days in anthill meaningful..."

What a joke...! She didn't say anything but slowly walked away...

" And by the way prince Zealot... you don't know anything...." She added as she drifted into the thick darkness.
