I dragged my tired feet to my room. I kept wishing all the way that no one saw me and questioned me. There was silence in the mansion and everyone had gone to their respective rooms. Thank God that no one was found me.
I opened the room door slowly and walked in. I noticed Lily was sleeping peacefully there, totally unaware of my situation.
This room was very small, green painted wall, rough and hard wood floor, one small window and Two small bed, one of which belonged to Lily and the other was mine, I sat on my bed with sad sigh, trying to pull myself together.
My heart was so heavy. I packed all my belongings silently so that Lily would not wake up from her sleep. I was not ready to talk about my situation to her, to anyone. I stared at her for a while. When tomorrow she wakes up in the morning and didn’t see me at this mansion, she would be worried for me. She would have a lot of questions for me and I knew that I would not be able to answer all her questions honestly..
“ Sorry Lily,” I mumbled softly.
After taking my luggage, I slowly left the room without making a sound and shut the door behind me.
The mansion was very huge. The maids and servants stay on the ground floor in the corner of the mansion. Alpha's family his sister Sofia, mother and father our previous Alpha was living here.
But Alpha Xavier didn’t live here. He lived alone next door in this mansion. His mansion was also very huge and vast. I came to his mansion only once or twice. And now I had to stay in his mansion until he get bored of me and leave me in the end.
Finally, I was standing in front of his mansion. I took a deep breath and went inside. I slowly walked down the hallway, holding my suitcase tightly. His mansion was beautifully decorated. Here everything was so elegant and classy. Every time when I came I couldn’t take my eyes off it as I watched everything in awe.
I was standing outside his room, the door was closed. There was dead silence. I could hear my heartbeat clearly.
What should I do? Should I knock on his door?
“ Come inside!” His commanding voice startled me as I flinched.
I shucked in a deep and shaky breath as I grabbed the doorknob. I pushed the door open and closed them behind me.
When I entered the room his intoxicating scent hit me. I closed my eyes inhaling his scent deeply which calmed me.
I was wondering if this mate bonding was affecting him like it was affecting me crazily?
When I opened my eyes, my eyes fell on him Who was sitting on the couch, his eyes glued on me. My eyes were searching for the answers to all those questions in his eyes, in the hope that I would find something, but I found nothing except coldness.
Suddenly the room seemed more stuffy. I felt like I was trapped by him and held me like a prisoner by darkened depth of his deep green eyes. I gulped down and stared at him. He hadn't spoken since I entered the room.
I stand in the middle of his room like a helpless, innocent little rabbit who had come under the grip of a dangerous hunter and would lose his life at any time.
“What have you been doing for so long?” He asked in his dangerous calm commanding voice making chills run down my spine.
“Preparing to be your maid.” I replied rudely. He was ignoring the mate bonding that's why, I was getting angry. But as soon as I realized what and how I had replied, I immediately closed my mouth with my hand with wide eyes.
Oh God Amelia, You are definitely preparing for your death!
He didn’t say anything but I could tell he was angry at my answer or tone.
“This time I am going to let you go, but next time you will be punished for such an act, understand.” He said with a calm and cold voice and I immediately nodded my head.
He stood on the couch and came towards me, erasing some of the distance between us.
“ Answer me loudly,” he grabbed my chin and forced me to look at him. My heart pounded like a drum.
“Yes, I understand.. Sir.” My mouth dried and I licked my lips. His eyes traveled down my wet lips. His eyes became dark.
“Good! Now go to your room and be ready to do your work from tomorrow.” He said in a deep and musky voice as he touched my lips with his finger. A sharp jolt sensation ran my whole body and I lost myself in his touch.
“M…my room?” I barely get the word out of my mouth as his finger was dancing playfully on my lips. I held my breath at his action. My heart started beating so hard that it would rip my chest.
“ Hmmm… next to my room.” He brought his face closer. His warm breath fanning over my face. His lips Inches from mine as his eyes locked with mine, he looked back down at my lips. I closed my eyes and enjoyed his touch. It was a different feeling of being close like this to him. I held his shoulder lightly and he suddenly went still.
He removed his finger from my lips and held my face tightly and the pleasure turned into pain. My face was filled with pain as my eyes became moist.
He glared at me. “Don't think of yourself as special, you're just a maid, no actually you are my little pet, nothing more.” He left me jerkily.
He took a deep breath and turned his back to me. “ Now, get out of there.” He growled as he ran his fingers through his dark hair.
“ Yes sir.” I said weakly with a heavy heart and I come out of the room without missing a moment. I took a deep breath and then looked at the adjacent room. I opened the door and went inside. The room was large and luxurious. The room was many times bigger than my room. “I'll stay in this room?” I surprised. I could not believe that I had got my own room, it was so luxurious that I could not even think of a dream, whatever happened to me today was impossible for a girl like me. Today I found my mate who was my Alpha, I was promoted, becoming a personal maid from a minor maid and I got a new big new room. I should have been happy for all these things, but I was not happy.
I lay on the king sized bed that was very comfortable, not like my old hard bed. I looked up the ceiling, tears gathering in my eyes.
I didn’t know how long I lay there, crying. I was not expecting him to be so cruel. I always knew he was cruel and unforgivable, but I was his mate, his other half how could he ignore and insult me in that way. On one hand he wanted me to forget everything and not tell anyone about us, and on the other hand he kept me with him and made me his personal maid. Perhaps, He was not troubled with this, but I was suffering from such ignorance. He was my mate. But there was nothing I could do.
According to the rule of my pack I had no right on him, because I was a low grade she-wolf.
‘Don’t sad everything will be okay,' I said to myself and took a deep sad breath. I closed my eyes and tried to sleep.
Next morning, I woke up hearing a knocking sound at the door. I got up from the bed as I rubbed my eyes lazily. When I opened the door, a girl was standing in front of me, who was in maid's dress. She looked around my age.
“Hello, I'm Sara. ” she said as roamed her eyes over my body.
“Hey, I'm Amelia.” I smiled but she simply stared at me.
“ From now you will work as Alpha's personal maid.” She said rudely.
“Yes I know.” I said nervously, trying to smile.
“You have five minutes, Get ready quickly, then I will tell you about your work.” She said in a irritating voice. I had not done anything wrong, then why was she behaving like this so rudely.
“Okay..” I said. She nodded and left the room quickly.
How I slept for so long. I took a bath and got ready quickly. I felt weird and nervous. Though I was a maid of the house of our previous Alpha and here was the same work, but the first time I became someone's personal maid and it was very difficult for me, when the master was Alpha and on top of that he was my mate.
Then that girl Sara explained my work to me. I had to get up before Alpha, and take care of all his needs. She introduced me to the other maids some of whom I knew. Some of them could not believe that I became Alpha's personal maid. Some were staring me in jealousy and some were surprised why Alpha chose me for his personal maid.
I had to give Alpha morning coffee. But I didn’t know he was sleeping or he was awake.
I decided to knock before entering his bedroom. I waited for a while to respond. When I heard no answer, so I quietly opened the door. Walking inside, I shut the door behind me. I roamed my eyes to search to him. I couldn't see him, maybe he wasn’t here. I smelled his scent that was still in the room and that gave me peace. I stood there for a while thinking about yesterday.
Then my eyes fell on the couch which was outside in the balcony, Xavier was sleeping on it. Why was he sleeping there when there was such a big comfortable bed in the room? What should I do, wake him up or let him sleep like that. I put the coffee tray on the table and walked to the couch with slow steps so that I couldn’t disturb him. I prayed mentally that he would not wake up. I placed my hand on my chest and sighed in relief when I saw he was still sleeping. He looked so innocent like a baby.
