"Sylvia, you lazy slave! Do you know what time it is? Why are you still sleeping?"I struggled to get up from the wooden bed and checked the time. It wasn't even five in the morning yet. I rubbed my throbbing temples, then hurriedly threw on my thin coat and opened the door.A fat she-wolf was blocking the doorway.With a ferocious look on her face, she pointed at my nose and snapped, "Today is the Alpha Ceremony. Why are you still asleep? Have you finished all your work?"I didn't say anything, just kept my head down.I'd only slept for less than an hour since I'd spent the entire night cleaning the conference room. My mind was still foggy."Why are you just standing there? Go finish all your work!" she roared again. Then she glared at me, turned around, and stomped away.I sighed and walked to the closet, where clothes that needed ironing were piled on the rack. Shawn Gibson was turning eighteen today, and he was going to take over during the Alpha Ceremony. I had to prepare the clothes he'd be wearing.The sun was already rising by the time I finished ironing.
