A joke

1198 Words
Rays of sunlight shoned through the windows. The house was so big and beautiful, covered in white and beautiful furniture. The living room was big, with a large couch and pillows, but in the middle of the room lay a man. He slept on the floor, with his back on the ground, his hands spread on the floor, and one of his legs on the couch, as if he had no life in him. His leg that was on the couch moved slightly before he put it down. After some minutes, he opened his captivating dark eyes slowly. Even with the way he looked rough and reeked of alcohol, he still looked handsome. Thin lips, a firm jaw, and beautiful black hair. He was just too handsome, even in his state. He sat up but was hit with a terrible headache. Ah! He groaned with his hands on his head as he pulled himself up in a struggle. He ran his hands into his hair as he walked towards the stairs, but before he could take the first step up the stairs, he suddenly felt something strange. He looked back at the sitting room, from the couch to the floor. He wasn't the type to sleep on the floor after getting drunk. He had some things he wouldn't do despite drunk. He kept looking at the couch, rubbing his forehead, until he finally remembered something. "Mate?" He said to himself before scoffing. "That's impossible." "Eric!" He called out in anger. Within seconds, a man walked in as if he had been waiting at the entrance of the house. "Who came here last night?" He asked with fury, but the man looked up at him with surprise. "No one came into the house, Alpha." "Are you accusing me of lying?" He raide his voice but was hit with a more terrible bang in his head. He winced, and despite that, he didn't care. He walked closer to Eric and held him by the collar. He was sure someone had entered the house, and he knew it was a woman. "No, sir. Please forgive me." The man begged before he finally let go of his collar. "Get every worker here now. No one leaves the compound." He commanded before Eric ran out of the room. He sat on the couch with his legs crossed. He was so angry that he didn't even go upstairs to change his clothes, which reeked alcohol. He didn't know what was going on, but he didn't want to jump to the conclusion that his wolf called someone a mate last night. "It can't be. She can't be the one." He thought, rubbing his hands together nervously. Soon after, the door opened, and Eric walked in. "They're all outside Alpha." Without saying a word to him, he stood up and went outside. As soon as he stepped outside, he didn't have to say anything or look further before he sought a frail creature among the employees. "Mate." His wolf called. He moved a few steps forward. The other maids, who also saw where his eyes were, hurried away, giving him a way to see the girl, who was hiding behind them. They felt that something was wrong, but none of them could say a word. *** She had been restless since she woke up that morning. She didn't know who she met yesterday, nor did she see the face because of how dark it was. She wished she had her wolf, which could have helped her see in the dark, but at that point, she didn't want to think about that. She had been given her pay and was ready to go home, but she couldn't because of her phone. She just hoped it would be time for the maids to go clean the house so she could follow them and take her phone. But not too long later, a knock came on the door, and the housekeeper went ahead to open the door. "Good morning, Eric. What are you doing here early in the morning?" The housekeeper asked, but the man did not reply to her greetings. "Alpha Aiden requests to see every one of you right now." "Request to see us?" The woman asked, her eyes popping. Even the other maids who were in the room having breakfast quickly stood up. "But why? Did something happen?" They knew the alpha didn't even know any of them except the housekeeper, who served his food and made his bed. "I don't have time for this. We need to go now." Eric said, knowing that even a minute late could cause him death. Her heart was beating so fast. It felt like it would explode. Her hands and legs were shivering. She had never seen the Alpha before, but she had heard stories of how wicked he was. He was the only ruthless one among his brothers. Him requesting to see them suddenly made her remember last night. She hurried towards the housekeeper. "I should get going." She said, forgetting how she had planned to get her phone, but before she could move an inch, "No one leaves until you all meet the Alpha. Also, wasting more time means trouble." Hearing this from the man, Amelia knew she was done for. The other maids were also scared, but they all accepted their fate and followed the man. They stood in front of the gigantic building and watched as the man went in to call the Alpha. "Maybe if I beg him, he will spare my life." She thought, but her mind drifted to how she had pushed him, which made her accept there was no way to get out of the trouble she had brought on herself. She had seen the alpha sleepwalk, and there was no forgiveness. She was already fidgeting, her lips quivering as they all stood together outside. She stood behind the maids to avoid direct contact with the Alpha. Suddenly, the door opened, and everywhere suddenly became silent. She didn't even look up. She couldn't dare until she noticed the person in front of her moved aside. She slowly looked up. Her heartbeat grew louder. Sweat poured out of her body as she continued to stare at the man, who stood in front of her with rage. She didn't know what he was thinking, but she just knew he was looking at her with so much hatred. "This must be a joke. The moon goddess must be playing tricks on me," He whispered as he kept looking at the girl. He didn't even know what to do or say to her. He turned to Eric. "Lock her up in a room." And at that same instant, he walked back into the house. Amelia thought she had heard wrong. She looked at the man who had signaled some men to drag her. "No. Please. Please forgive me. Someone help me." She kept screaming as she was being dragged away. Even the maids were surprised by the incident that just unfolded. They could not explain what had happened, nor could they help the lady who was being dragged away. They all quickly left the scene.
