Chapter 181 Bullying was not Okay

With her plans for Coral now set in motion, she e-mailed the rough plan of the areas that she wanted her training in across to Eva and placed her phone on the bed at her side.

Now all she had to do was get hold of Coral and let her know she would be going with Eva tomorrow. Ann made her way out of their suite after letting Adam know where she was going and headed down towards the Omega quarters, in the hopes that she would find her there.

It wasn’t long before she found some of the omega’s milling about in the hallway, and as soon as they saw her, they stood and bowed their heads respectfully.

“I’m looking for Coral. Have any of you seen her?”

The girls exchanged a look and pointed down the hallway.

“Last bedroom on the right your highness.” They answered in unison, keeping their eyes firmly fixed on the floor.

Ann frowned and nodded her thanks as she made her way down to the bottom of the corridor and knocked gently on the door.

“Coral? Are you there?” There was a muffled sound from behind the door before a tremulous voice called out:

“Just a minute… I’m coming!”

When the door opened, Ann was not expecting to see the large bruise that had formed on her eye socket, nor the look of fear on her face when Coral realized that it was Ann on the other side of the door.

“Oh my goodness, your highness! I wasn’t expecting…” she blustered hastily as Ann’s expression darkened. “What happened to your face Coral?” Ann asked quietly, feeling Maeve’s anger ripple through her. She was such a tiny little thing, whoever had done this was a coward. “Nothing, your highness, it’s fine. I was just clumsy, that’s all.” She answered softly as she stole a furtive glance down the corridor where sniggers could be heard from several of the omegas that were gathering at the end of the hallway.

Ann turned her head and glared frostily at them, causing a few of them to squeak and begin to disperse, but two of them remained in place.

“Is there something that I can help you with, your highness?” Coral asked quietly.

“Yes, Coral. I want to know who did this to you.” Ann replied a little more firmly this time. Coral visibly blanched as she swallowed nervously and fiddled with her fingers in front of her, refusing to meet Ann’s gaze.

Ann sighed heavily and crossed her arms in front of her.

“Fine. Then you leave me no choice. Pack your things up.”

Coral’s head shot up and she stared at Ann with wide, trembling eyes. “What…? Please, your highness…”

“Did I stutter?” Ann replied coldly, acutely aware of the eyes that were watching this exchange with barely suppressed glee.

“No your highness…” Coral whispered in a broken voice as her shoulders sagged in defeat. “Then pack your things and come with me.”

Ann couldn’t be sure, but she was fairly sure that whatever had happened to Coral, was the work of the two senior Omega’s standing at the end of the corridor.

In Ann’s opinion, they seemed to be following this with an unnatural amount of interest, and if it meant that she would have to give them a show in order for them to incriminate themselves, then she would do what was necessary to force that from them.

Then, she would take great pleasure in making sure that they were put fully in their place when she had judged their reactions to this whole scene she was creating.

Bullying was not okay. A strong kingdom needed a strong foundation and even if people didn’t like one another, they should have enough respect for the royal household to ensure that incidents like this didn’t happen. It reflected badly on everyone.

If she couldn’t keep the staff in the enclave in order, then how could she be expected to run a kingdom well? Coral quickly moved around her room, gathering the few personal effects that she had in a small bag, and moved to the doorway.

“Is that everything?” Ann asked with a frown.

Even for an Omega, she had very few personal effects which struck Ann as quite odd. “Yes, your highness.”

Ann nodded slowly and gestured for Coral to follow her as she made her way back up the hallway and past the Omega’s.NôvelDrama.Org (C) content.

They bowed their heads respectfully as Ann passed, but as Coral tried to step past them carefully, one of the women stuck their foot out at the last minute and purposefully sent coral tumbling to the ground. Ann continued on as if nothing had happened, slowing her steps slightly, wanting them to do or say something that would enable her to act. She knew their type, happy to take whatever power they could get, wherever they could get it, and it wasn’t long before Ann was proven right in her a*s*sumptions.

“Oh silly you. Here, let me help you up!” One of the girls said as they bent towards Coral with a sinister smile, lowering their voice to barely a whisper, thinking that they wouldn’t be caught if they didn’t draw attention to it. “See? I told you that you were a freak. Even the Queen can see what a waste of space you are. You’re lucky she’s getting rid of you tonight, otherwise, you would have been able to experience first-hand exactly what I promised would happen to you.” she tittered nastily.

“What you promised?” Ann asked loudly as she turned on her heel and fixed the surprised senior omega with an icy stare. “Enlighten me, my dear. Just what exactly did you promise would happen to Coral?”

The Senior Omega swallowed nervously before plastering a smile on her face as Ann stepped slowly towards her, closing the distance with a cool, yet threatening posture.

Now faced with the cold and terrifying fury of the Alpha Queen, her wolf visible in her eyes, she knew that she had f****d up in the worst way possible.
