Akira's POV

As soon as I got home, I looked for my father. I looked all around the house but I couldn't find him.

(Where would he go at a time like this?) I heard footsteps coming from the forest. I quickly hid myself. It's a good thing I used masking spray when I left school.

A little while later, my father and 2 servants from the main house came out of the forest. My father was carrying almost thrice as much as the other two with him. They went to the trees and changed back into human form. They got their change of clothes and got dressed. One of the servants then took a small rabbit from their piles of game and threw it to my father.

"There, that's your share for today." My father just sighed. Clearly, he was already expecting this which means this was a regular occurrence. He picked up the thrown rabbit and took it home. The servant who threw the rabbit sneered.

"Have you seen that? He didn't even complain. Come on, how low can you get? He doesn't even have a backbone anymore."

"Like any of that has to do with you? If the chief attendant never threatened to stop funding his daughter's schooling, would he even allow himself to be bullied like this?" The other one said while gathering the carcasses.

"Exactly! Why should he let himself be bullied. He's Alpha blood. Heck, he was supposed to be next Alpha. In fact, He could've been Alpha if he only gotten rid of that half-breed b*tch. He chose to raise that half-breed mutt that's why he was discarded by the main clan." The first servant ranted, not knowing that I, the half-breed b*tch he's talking about is listening. My blood was boiling.

(My father was being treated like this and I didn't even know it, and it was all because of me. But that servant is a whole 'nother story. He's power tripping over the fact he can boss my father around and humiliate him like this huh? I'll show him.)

I went out of my hiding place and approached that arrogant servant. They both sensed my presence and turned to me. I watched his face contort into a disgusted look.

"It's you? Why are you here right now? You ditched school, huh? I knew educating you half-breed mutt's a waste of resource-" Power exploded from me and spread around. My father immediately came out of the house and stopped just outside the door.

"You. Kneel." The arrogant servant fell to his knees and injured them on the gravel ground. I stepped closer to him and tilted his face to look at me.

"Remember this: you are not allowed to approach my father like this ever again." I could see his defiance and although it was difficult, he managed to choke out.

"Yeah? And if I did, What you gonna do then?" The servant challenged me.

"This." I applied pressure on his mind. He writhed in pain whilst holding his head, his screams echoing in the forest around us. I stopped only when he fainted, foaming at the mouth. I looked at the other servant.

"I-I wouldn't speak of this, milady, I promise you. I'll tell them he ate a hallucinogenic mushroom in the forest. No one in the main family would even believe me that you have this kind of power, even if I tell them, milady." He swiftly went to the pile and took a nice deer and presented it to me.

"Here, milady. It's your father's real share for helping out. I'm sorry I couldn't do anything about him. He's my superior." I looked at him carefully. He's young-looking, about 25 years old at most. I don't know how or why but I could tell this man is not lying to me. He really didn't want to be part of this but couldn't do anything about it because of his circumstance.

"You. What is your name?"

"I don't have one, milady. I was just called dumb claw by everyone. I've been branded with a seal of obedience since I'm a slave that's why I couldn't defy them. Please believe me." He immediately dogezaed so hard, his forehead started bleeding. I already knew he wasn't lying to me so I felt guilty that I scared him so much he would do this to appease me.

"Stop. I wasn't asking so I could punish you." He looked at me, blood flowing down from his forehead. I sighed before stretching out my hand towards him.

(Am I doing this right?)

(Yeah. Just wish for it sincerely while letting your powers flow towards him)

(Ok. Heal faster. Please heal faster.)

"Milady? What are you- ?!?!" The wound on the servant's forehead healed at a visible rate. I dropped my hand to my side and the servant gingerly touched forehead.

"Healed? It's already healed? Milady, did you...?"

"Heal you? Yes and no, not really. I mean, yes, you healed because of my powers but not really because I have healing powers. I only accelerated your regeneration and that's why you are healed already."

"I don't deserve it, milady"

"You can just say 'thank-'" I looked at a direction. I directed my power to my voice.

"Isn't it common courtesy for guests to greet the homeowner when visiting?"
