I linked Macy in the morning to get the Omegas ready to help with the packhouse.
The place was like a mansion, bigger than the Clayman's house in lucland. Seeing the place made me realise that Leo was a very simple man.
He had built the place four years ago while still married to Tamia because he was required to have something like it as head Alpha, but the couple never moved in. I couldn't blame Tamia for her choice.
Seeing they did not want to live here, I wondered how she coped with living in a palace.
People often went out of their way for love.
I would not live in this place once the issue is over.
I hope we move back to our little house.
Too much space is terrible when building a home, and this place provides precisely that.
It had nineteen rooms which were different from the number Leo gave me.
I guess he must have forgotten the count.
Three dining rooms. A lounge, a dance room, a library, four offices, a training room, Gym, and a gaming room. A room that looked like it was meant for women to practice their hobbies.
A playroom for children, home cinema. Three kitchens, each serving a dining room, all exclusive of the nineteen bedrooms, all ensuite.
What the hell were Tamia and Leo thinking to build this thing?
I had the mind of turning it into a hotel and making some money off the place when all this was over.
I knew Leo already owned three hotels, but I wouldn't want this building to waste away because there was no way I would live here.
Everyone who worked closely with Leo had a small house like ours in the settlement. Having a structure like this was required but unnecessary.
Macy came with thirty Omegas. They met me at the Packhouse entrance, and neither dared look into my eyes.
I saw my friends there, the ones that tried to disrespect me.
It was cute seeing them fix their gaze on the ground.
I wondered what the kappas did.
Knowing women weren't taken advantage of in Mountain made me suspect they were publicly shamed, as their Alpha had implied.
"Good morning Luna," they said in unison, and I smiled and nodded.
Macy looked at me, awaiting orders.
She was never rude or unkind to me, but I did not warm up to her for fear that she couldn't be trusted. So far, she had been good, and she had not worked against me in any way. She wouldn't even dare dream it now. I smiled at her, and her eyes softened a bit.
"I am putting you in charge of this task, Macy. I trust you, and I know you will do an excellent job. We have guests coming tomorrow, so I need this building ready for all of us to stay in. Leo and I will be moving here too. Do you think this place will be ready by evening?" I asked her, and she nodded.
"Yes, Luna. We clean it occasionally, so the work will be a little as the building isn't dusty.
I will also ensure the kitchen and stores are equipped for your guests." She added, and I nodded.
"All right, let's go in," I said, and Macy frowned at me, looking confused.
"What is the matter?' I asked her.
"You do not need to stress yourself, Luna," She said, and I laughed.
"We are going to clean this place together. Alpha Kyle and Max are joining us soon. I can't be idle all day," I said, and she smiled at me.
We went in and went to work.
I watched as Macy organised the women. She was really in command, and she did it so well.
By afternoon I told her we needed to take a break and eat.
Kyle and Max had joined us but were not with the ladies by then.
They ensured the training room and gym equipment were in good shape. We wanted to avoid any mishaps when our guests arrived. We needed to change faulty equipment before they arrived.
"Luna," one of the Omegas called Vanessa said, approaching me, and I did not know what she wanted.
"There are some things in one of the Master rooms that we are unsure of what to do with them," she said, and mischief was in her eyes. I could also smell it.
She would have informed Macy and not come to me directly if her intentions were good. I was up for the challenge and stood up to follow them.
"I will go, Luna," Macy said, and I shook my head.
"You can join me. I want to see the items Vanessa felt important for me to see," I said, looking at Vanessa, and she wasn't smiling.
She tried to look innocent, but I could see past her.
