Rejected but still desired

Clean up

Selena POV:

Ro showed me my room and went over the rules with me very firmly. I guess after the altercation with Alice, she wanted me on my best behavior. Usually being lectured would make me upset and throw me off for the whole day but with a spacious room like this, a queen bed, with an actual mattress! I could not absolutely, at all, be bummed out! There was a knock on the door and I adjusted my uniform as I walked over to the door to open it, "hello Selena," smiled Alice and I felt a great urge to slam the door in her face right then and there but I knew it would mean that I would lose my precious room. "Hi, Alice." I greeted in my most sweetest voice, she seemed content with that, "since you are my boyfriend's maid, I need you to clean up his room, since we made a mess... if you know what I'm saying, " she blushed and tucked a strand of her hair behind her ear. I nodded at her and made to move forward, she stepped back so I could pass and my room automatically locked behind me, "I will clean it right away," I smiled at her and she beamed at me, "I'll watch." I didn't know what to say to that so I didn't say anything, nor did I understand her wanting me to clean Ethan's room. This must be her revenge and she probably has wrecked the entire room and they're going to dock it from my wages, as I unlocked the door and let us both in, I was surprised to see that it was just the bed that was messed but there were three scents in this room. One of them was Ethan's but it was his room so of course it would be stronger than the rest, where as the other scents, I wasn't sure... I smelled Alice but who was the third scent. "The sheets need to be changed." She said non chalantly as she sat down on his study chair watching me as I worked. This was the weirdest torture method of my life. I cleaned up the soiled sheets and put on new ones, "please spray the room down with the scent neutralizer, I don't like your scent." I suppressed the urge to roll my eyes at her. "Okay." I sighed as I took out the bottle and sprayed the air, "that's it?" She asked pushing herself up, "what?" I asked back, genuinely confused by this whole interaction. She stuck out her bottom lip and huffed in a way that made me realize she was testing me, "what are you up to now Alice?" I asked in a calm voice and she looked at me and shrugged, "just testing a rumour," I rolled my eyes at her, "what rumour?" I asked and she smirked, "it doesn't matter because it's not true." I rolled my eyes and grabbed the laundry basket, "let yourself out. I have a job to do." I left after that and headed down to the laundry room. Everything seemed easier to handle now. My life becoming easier was such a blessing that- "Hey!" I snapped as I was pulled out of my thoughts, the basket of Ethan's laundry had fallen out of my hands and toppled onto the floor like bad produce. I looked up at the perpetrator and instantly bit my tongue. Ethan was standing before me with an unreadable expression on his face. A part of me was yelling to apologize and another part of me was too frozen to react. I knelt down quietly and started picking up the soiled sheets and placing them back in the basket, hoping- No! Praying! He would walk away but instead he knelt down and started to help. This startled me even further, I was terrified to even think about what would happen if someone important walked in on us right now! I cleared my throat, "Alpha Ethan," my voice shook as I spoke to him, my sassiness and pride threatened by the loss of my beautiful room, "please, don't help." I pulled the sheet from his hand but he gripped it tighter, he looked me dead in my eyes, "and if I said no?" He asked and I realized that I had not thought that far. After all he was the Alpha's son, why would he want to make my life easier!? I felt myself scowl and tug harder at the sheet, he narrowed his eyes at me before giving it a light tug and I had fallen awkwardly into his arms. I tried to push myself up but felt his, no! It can't be, I thought I felt him hold me tighter against him but I think that I was imagining that part, after all. He is big and strong and what might of felt like a hug could be him trying to balance himself or something. I looked up at him and his eyes sparkled with something as he looked down on me. "What's that smell?" He asked and I furrowed my eye brows in confusion, "what do you mean?" I asked and he let go of me and stood up holding the sheet in his hands, which made me realize that I had let go of it in our struggle. If you could call that a struggle... "These are my sheets..." His voice sounded almost accusatory and it struck a nerve and made me defensive, "yeah, it is. Your girlfriend asked me to clean up after yours and hers sexy time!" I snapped at him and grabbed at the sheet again, this time he let go, mostly because he seemed far away in his thoughts. "Yeah." I rolled my eyes at him. Him and Alice were both crazy, well, actually everyone in this pack were a bunch of psychos or sadists of some kind. I grabbed the basket and turned on my heels to the laundry room, leaving him there, frozen like a statue.
