Alpha Temptations

09 | Sensation

“Clean this. Clean that…”

Those were the words that Maya has been hearing for the last couple of minutes. She has been cleaning the dorm nonstop for almost an hour now. She didn’t get the chance to rest since she was tasked to immediately clean up and tidy things as soon as they’ve settled down.

“After you clean, go prepare my bed,” he added while sitting comfortably on the mini couch.

“Can you at least do that?” she replied while wiping the wooden floor. “It’s not that I am complaining, Huhter, but I am also tired. I also need some rest.”

“Why would I? You were brought here to do all that,” he replied and grinned at me. “So, stop complaining and just do what I said or I’ll send a letter to the Alpha to pull you out from here,” he added with a little threatening smile.

I couldn’t help but bit my lower lip in frustration. It was stupid of me to think that we’d gotten a little closer after going through all that troubles together. What did I even think that? He didn’t inherit even a single good trait from his father aside from his looks. Everything he has inside him is from the ever-kind and loving Luna of the pack.

It took me almost an hour to clean the entire dorm and prepare Hunter’s bed. After that, I was then tasked to unpack our bags and put his clothes in his closet. He even made me touch his underwear!

It’s just the first day yet I can already tell how my life would be miserable, but the good thing is that I will get the chance to hone my skills more, and who knows, I might be able to connect to my wolf, too—if I have any.

“Have you made dinner?” Hunter asked as soon as he came to the kitchen.

“If you’re fine with raw veggies, then you can now enjoy your meal,” I sarcastically replied, rolling my eyes while cutting the vegetables.

“Mind your words, Maya. Know your place.”

“Well, I was sent here to be your servant, but I was never told to talk nicely to you.” I took a deep breath to calm down. I am still mad at him for making me work my àss out as soon as we entered the dorm. “And please stop pretending that you are not aware that I hate you,” I added before starting cooking.

“I am aware of that, so you should start working on that before I become the alpha because I will never tolerate such behavior against me,” he enunciated, passing through me to get a glass of water. “I am not as kind as my father. If you keep this up, I will banish you from the pack as soon as I become the alpha.”

“Please do,” I quickly replied and looked at him straight into his eyes. “That would be the best thing you’ll ever do to me, Hunter, and I am not even joking about it,” I added with pure honesty. The only reason I couldn’t leave the pack is Alpha Lancer. I don’t want him to think that I hate his pack; that he has made a mistake of bringing me to their pack.

Because he didn’t. He made the right call to take me in. It was his mate that made everything feels like a mistake.

I don’t really get Luna Therese and Hunter. I wonder why they hate me that much when I am not even trying to steal Alpha Lancer away from them. I try my best to hide from him whenever he’s in the pack house just so his time would be spent with them and not with me. And maybe that’s when everything started. Luna Therese just waited for the perfect opportunity to ruin my image to the pack. And when they found out that I couldn’t shift, she probably grabbed that chance to taint my image.

And she successfully did. All thanks to her, I am now living miserably and have been constantly wishing for freedom even once. And I’m glad it was granted even just for a short while. But I will make sure that I will never go back to that pack anymore. I will find ways to continue holding on to this freedom.

After preparing dinner, I decided to go out for a bit and breathe some fresh air because Hunter’s presence has been polluting the air inside the dorm. And I wanted to take a break from him before I reach my limits and finally decide to stab him to death—as if I could. His face will always remind me of my savior. I can never hurt him with my own hands.

As I was strolling around and passing through dorms, I stopped midway when I felt someone looking at me from afar. My senses have been sharpened just so I could cope up with those who can shift to their wolf form. I turned in the direction where I can feel the pair of eyes and saw a massive tree.

“Who’s there?” I asked, narrowing my eyes to have a clearer vision and try to see who’s in that tree. But the shadows cast by the moonlight blocked my sight.

After getting no response, I decided to turn around and leave. But I made sure to have my guard up. I alerted all of my senses and readied myself in case they decide to attack me.

As I was leaving the place, I suddenly halted when I felt a streak of burning sensation in my heart. And it wasn’t just an ordinary feeling—I feel like it’s really burning my heart and it’s spreading all over my body like a wildfire. I even almost dropped to my knees. Beads of sweat are starting to form on my forehead as I try to endure it. Good thing it stopped after a few seconds.

Just what the hell was that?
