take a nap

" You don't have to be sarcastic with me. If you didn't stop walking, this would not have happened." She bites.

I can tell that she is angry from her tone of voice but that only makes her sound adorable.

I turn slowly to face her.

" Are you blaming me?" I ask with a hint of amusement which can't be hidden even after trying to conceal it.

I don't know what's happening with me. To my pack Members, I am that no nonsense Alpha who will not hesitate to snap your neck if you talk back to me. But when it comes to her despite meeting her just today, something forces me to be tolerant.

What I would have considered a crime earlier, maybe even now when done by someone else, is funny coming from her.

I regard her with my black orbs and her Hazel one’s sparkle. But I know it's not out of happiness. She is angry at me and for some weird and unfathomable reason, I find it amusing.

" How can I dare?" She answers, albeit sarcastically making me smile.

I stalk towards her, forcing her to move back until her back hits the wall.

I cage her with my arms before tilting my face to observe her closely.

Goddess! She's beautiful, too beautiful to be real.

Her well manicured eyebrows are the first thing I notice apart from her mysterious eyes.

I fight the urge to trace her facial contours with my sinful hands. Something Inside me gives me that extra push to touch her but I clench my fists, stopping my hands from acting on impulse.

Leaning over, I pretend to kiss her. I smirk when she closes her eyes, perhaps anticipating my kiss.

My wolf purrs happily, probably thinking that I would claim her lips.

" Careful how you speak to me. I am still your Alpha."

I walk away with a smile. I am glad nobody is within the vicinity. Otherwise I don't know what they will think about my behavior. Strangely, I don't know what to make out of my behavior too. 

I have to admit, teasing her is much fun.

Maya POV

I don't know what came over me. Something about his words naturally irk me. The Alpha can't seem to say a line without sarcasm entangled with his words.

He is not what I expected. When I was still a Luna at Silver Moon pack, the Dark Lord according to rumors is a giant. I won't deny that Killian is huge, but I have come to realize that all men from the Midnight pack are well built. Maybe from the training they undergo.

Seeing him acting like an asshole, I don't know if I should hate him or not.

But regardless of how I feel, he's the Alpha afterall and I can't afford to be disrespectful or I can kiss goodbye to my peaceful days here.

After his attempt to kiss me, scratch that, after I misunderstood his acts and anticipated his kiss, the Alpha barked orders before leaving me there, all flustered and ashamed of myself.

I don't Know what's wrong with me.

Two weeks have passed since I last saw the Alpha. As his personal maid, I get to clean his office,room and wash his clothes.

I don't hate my duty here, afterall, every Lady gets to be assigned some work.

Although we don't get to do manual work,we help with cleaning the packhouse.

I have come to realize that here, we are treated better.

The Alpha gave out the permission for the Ladies who arrived as offerings to interact with the pack members here.

As a result, some have developed relationships.

I could care less about being given that liberty. 

Such relationships are bound to be doomed, not after those males have found their fated mates.

As someone who has experienced betrayal, I don't dare think about getting involved romantically with anybody.

It's not like any of them would be interested in me. I am old and was already married.

Theo has not let me go despite leaving his pack.

I still bear his mark. His mark is a constant reminder of his betrayal. Something that made me happy in the past has turned into an eyesore.

I wish everyday that I can erase that stupid mark from my body but I also know that without Theo breaking the bond himself, there's nothing I can do about it.

Today, I have been cleaning the Alpha's clothes.

I can choose to use the washing machines but I prefer to hand wash them.

I used to do the same for Theo. As a Luna, I never allowed any servant to wash my husband's clothes.

Here, I am afraid if I don't occupy myself with work, I might end up crying myself to sleep thinking about Theo.

My Wolf is too weak and everytime I think about Theo, it weakens her even more.

My human has gotten over Theo and all I feel for him is hate and disappointment but the same can't be said about my wolf.

She is still connected to Theo through the mating bond and continues to suffer.

I want to help her get her shit together and move on but with the mark connecting the two, it's hard, almost impossible.

I don't Know what Theo is thinking.

He should have let me go. If it's not for me walking around covering my mark with my hair, the now ugly mark would have been seen.

That could be considered as a challenge to the Dark Lord considering that I am now a member of the Midnight pack and not Silver Moon pack anymore.

By the time I am done arranging his clothes in his closet and cleaning the room, my back screams with protest. I have been burying myself in work in an attempt to escape reality. I can't believe I have been working from morning to evening and even skipped my lunch.

Promising myself that I will only lay down for a few minutes and head back to my room,I climb to bed.

" This feels so comfortable." The silk covers feel so soft and the mattress invites you to lay on it.

Closing my eyes, I decide to take a short nap.
