Serving the Cursed Alpha Prince

9

Gina

It took me another minutes closed to hours to finish tidying up the room. All the while, I kept replaying Lady Hera’s voice. An omega will always be an omega. So weird that I found myself thinking about it too much. I don't use to bother whenever I've been taunted with my rank. But somehow today, It hurts. The bitterness that settled in me when she uttered those words were unexpected. And more reason because of the situation. I know I cleaned up the room before leaving with Maria. I can't get it wrapped around my head why everything is out of space. As if someone did it on purpose.

I don't want to jump to conclusion when I don't know the truth behind it. But then again, if someone didn't tamper with the room, it wouldn't have been in the situation. I don't understand it.

I descend down in a slow step. My heart did a flip when Lady Hera threw me a look. She was seated at the dining together with the Alpha whose attention was focused on the newspaper that sat in front of him. The look wasn't pleasant. I had to discard the scent of freshly baked bread that resonates through my nostrils. I averted my eyes from them and proceed to make my way to the kitchen. “Learn how to do your work diligently without involving lies inside” Came her voice. This time around it was in a normal pitch. I said nothing only form my lips into a thin line and walk away.

“What is going on Gina?” Maria attacked me with question as soon as I entered the kitchen. She was plopped atop the big center table that was in the kitchen sipping on her tea. “I have no idea too” I answered with a shrug.

“What happened?” Mrs. Rosa asked placing a tray containing the bread on the kitchen counter. Before I could signal Maria not to tell her, she began talking.

“Lady Hera claimed her room wasn't tidied up. And Gina did that before we left for the jogging” Maria explained. I rested my back on the table.

“How?” Mrs. Rosa raised her voice in question. I know everyone will be confused as much as I am. “You told me you're done with your work earlier. What went wrong?” Her expression was void of confusion.

“I’m also confused. I'm very much sure I tidied up her room which was even the hard one among the rest. But then I don't understand. When I saw the room, it looked so unkept” I explained sinking in a sharp breath.

“I’m sure someone did that on purpose. Taking advantage of our absence” Maria said taking another sip.

“And my attention was solely focused on what I was doing. I didn't really know the situation outside. Don't mind that dear. Whoever it is, will surely be caught one day. Come have your breakfast”

Mrs. Rosa is right. If someone did that on purpose, one day that person will be caught. I collected the cup of sizzling tea from her outsretched hands.

I took a bite of the bread that was still hot. “How is it?” Maria asked her eyes dancing with excitement. You would think she was the one that baked it. Mrs. Rosa didn't even pay attention to us. She already know how her food is having effect on people.

“I love it. Fluffy and tasty” I took another bite. Again and again. In the end, I asked for more which Mrs. Rosa gladly gave me. Maria and I left for the room. I immediately crashed on the bed as I rub my palm on my stomach. I don't think I can eat anything again. My stomach can burst in that state.

Vanessa was the only one in the room apart from us. She was pressing on her phone. “What do you think went wrong earlier?” Maria asked stretching her legs on the other side of the bed. We were sharing the same bed.

“I have no idea. Lady Hera wouldn't give me the chance to explain myself. Like she was angry”

“That woman is always angry. Believe me all that she's doing is unknown to her husband. Alpha Marco is always busy. Going out early and coming back late” I noticed that too. Because since the day I came, we met not more than twice.

“He works at the bank in the city. He's the chairman”

“I bet that isn't an easy job for him. He’d barely have time for himself” Maria nodded in agreement.

“It isn't. And then he has a pack to lead. Alot of responsibility”

I sat up when I remembered something that has been on my mind since the day I came to the house. I'm sure Maria will have an answer to it. “I wanted asking you this for a while. Don't they have any children. A daughter or a son. I don't see any of them around or anyone talking about them”

“They do have a son. But speaking about it is banned. Anyone that is caught talking about him will be punished” I was confused at her statement. What sort of rule is that. What was the reason why his name should not be mentioned. I was more than curious.

“And you're not going to break that rule?” I said on purpose hoping she'd at least tell me something.

“If it's this. Then no. I fear the wrath of the Alpha”

“How would he know then? I mean no one is here to hear us” I ushered back.

“He has someone controlling everything. My grandma is among. And there are prying eyes also” For the first time since I met Maria I saw a hint of fear in her eyes.

There are lot of mysteries in the pack house. Somehow, day by day it's making me curious. Where is their son and what was the reason why talking about him is banned from the house? I state out the question in my head. But nevertheless, dropped the topic.
