The mean lady

but she did it on purpose, she threw dolly into the lake and told me to fetch Ava, Ava had superpowers,
the water won’t harm her, that’s what she said, but the water did harm Ava, now Ava got hurt because
of that mean lady,” tears began to flood Meeka’s eyes as she remembered everything that had
happened. Seeing Ava being all fried up reminded her of daddy and the bad roggies that attacked her
pack that blessed day.
He knew it. Someone had taken advantage of this little girl’s innocence and used it to try to kill
Ava. And that person was living right under this roof; after everything he’d done for this pack, they
chose to betray him like this. He would make sure he found out whoever it was and make them pay.
Lucas walked over to Meeka’s chair and picked up a tissue, using it to wipe her wet eyes.
“Meeka?”
“Yes Alpha?”
“Can you tell me who the mean lady is?”
“Yes…. B-but… Meeka doesn’t know her name.”
“Can you describe her?”
She shook her head, “No, “she didn’t even know what ‘desrie’ means.
But Lucas wasn’t giving up.
“If you see her, will you be able to know her?”
Meeka nodded her head confidently.
“Yes, I saw her today and I even told her about Ava and the lake. She then called Meeka bad
words that mommy doesn’t like us to say,” she looked left and right, making sure no one except alpha
would hear what she was about to say, then she whispered the forbidden word into his ears. “She
called Meeka ‘stupid.’”
Lucas chuckled at Meeka’s sharpness. He would love to dine with her again at any time soon, but
for now, there were important matters on ground to take care of.
“Meeka, is there anything else you need from Alpha?”
“Yes, I want a lollipop!” Meeka jumped, revealing her teeth, Meeka sure did love goody-goodies.
“Kiron!”
The door opened, “yes master.”
“Tell all the female dawners to gather in the halls, I’ll be out with Meeka in a few moments, EVERY
single female must be there, except for Ava. Do you understand that?”
“Yes master,” Kiron bowed.
“And one more thing Kiron.”
“What is it master?”
“Ask the supplier to bring Meeka a lollipop when he’s coming to deliver today.”
**********
“That’s her! That’s the mean lady who told me that Ava has superpowers!” Meeka pointed right at
the mean lady the minute she saw her; it had taken a while going through all the female dawners but
they’d finally gotten to the culprit.
Lucas couldn’t believe it; it must be a joke. He looked at the woman Meeka was pointing at, and
then back at Meeka.
“Are you sure?”
The little girl nodded her head with full force. Meeka is sure its no mistake, she’d know that mean
lady’s face anywhere.
“Yes,” she responded. “She even offered me a lollipop, it had the bright color red like this one…”
she brought out the sticky red candy from her mouth and showed it to Lucas before putting it back in
again. “…but I told her no thank you, mommy says not to accept candy from scary people,” Meeka
continued confidently, the lollipop Lucas gave her swirling in her mouth.
He looked back at the culprit.
“Vivian, but why?”
Vivian bit her lip. She knew she should have tried harder to persuade that little shit to take the
poisoned candy from her hand, then she wouldn’t have to worry about her running her big mouth, but it
was too late for that now. Her betrayal made Lucas mad, no doubt he was going to punish her, or even
kill her for what she’d done, but if she were going down, she wasn’t going down alone.
“Ria was in on it too,” she stated shamelessly, pointing at her other who stood beside her. “She
even helped me dig out the sign.”
“W-what? How dare you, Vivian?” Ria turned to Lucas. “She’s lying. Vivian, tell him the truth, tell
him you’re the one who had the plan to get rid of Ava in the first place, you were the one who planned
everything that happened in the lake that day, it was you who planned it, Vivian. It was all you!”
Lucas had seen enough, he turned to Meeka.
“You can go back to your mommy now Meeka,” she’s standing right there, he pointed at a teary-
eyed Suri who watched everything. She was surprised when she’d seen the food delivered for her and
her second daughter today. Nani assured her that her baby was alright, she just wanted to see things
for herself, and truly, Meeka was even brighter and happier than she was before!
“Mommy! Mommy!” Meeka jumped as she ran to her mother’s arms. Suri grabbed and hugged her
tight, unable to contain her joy. After pulling from her mother’s embrace, Meeka turned to Jannie who
stood beside them and hugged her too, she then brought out the second green lollipop from her pocket
and gave it to her sister.
“Alpha Lucas says to give this to you.”
Jannie looked at the candy as if she’d just been offered a million gold coins. She beamed brightly
at the alpha.
“Thank you, Alpha Lucas!” And he smiled back. All the female dawners that had gathered could
not help to share their affection at the family reunion. How Lucas missed being part of a family. He
remembered how he’d lost two families, both the one he made and the one he was born into at a very
young age, he wouldn’t be able to live with himself if he made any other person go through the same
torture he’s had to go through of losing someone you hold very dear to your heart. It was only right that
Meeka and her mother should go unpunished since Ava survived and is now doing fine, and the best
news of it all, the culprit that caused this whole misfortune had been found.
He dismissed all the other females except for the two ladies who were still arguing over who was
to blame and who was not.
“The both of you, to my chambers, now.”
