Sarai’s POV I stood there, speechless, as the head maid continued to rattle off the different jobs that everyone was going to be delivering. I looked around the room to find Cynthia, and she did the same, staring down at me like I was a stain on the wall. It was common knowledge that Simone never had anything kind to say to anyone, ever. Oh, I was upset! I had heard rumors of the other girls who had managed to get through a day working with her and how they had ended the work shifts in tears. The crowd dispersed, and all around me, all of the people who had been paired to work together went in search of each other, so they could get to work. Cynthia crossed the room and made her way towards me, her eyes already narrowing in disgust. “Look here, loser. We are supposed to be working together today, and I have a perfect record. Plus, it is always my job to clean the rooms, and I know a whole lot better than you, so do as I say, and don’t touch anything.” Biting down on my tongue,
Sarai’s POVAfter a few seconds had passed, I opened my eyes carefully, shocked that I had not yet felt the impact of the slap on my face. It was a shock to me, and I was surprised to see that it was not even a slap in the first place. With a finger pointed at Cynthia, he began to speak. “You are doing an appalling job of watching this other maid. You have come here many times before, and you know how I feel about other people touching my things.”Cynthia colored and smoothed down her skirt, stammering through a greeting. “G-g-good morning sir,” she responded,“I tried to get her not to touch anything. I told her to just stand in the corner of the room and not do anything. I did give her instructions, but she seems to be incapable of following them.” She seethed, biting out the last part at me. I blanched and attempted to sink into the ground and never come out again. “Agreed, that she is clumsy, but you should have been checking in on her on occasion. From what I heard, her ar
Sarai’s POVIt seemed like learning this new information about me had made Cynthia see me in a kinder light, and now she spoke to me, instead of at me. “You know, now that I think about it, you aren’t actually so bad. You’re just doing the best that you can. I still think that you are a slut.”I watched as she walked in front of me and I froze in place, fighting the urge to laugh. Usually when she said things like that, it was accompanied, always, by violence of some sort. Now she had limited it to just being verbal, which shocked me, and I hadn’t decided weather or not it was in a good or bad way. I really didn’t mind it. I suspected that the reason she was calling me a slut was because of the false rumor that had started a while back, telling everyone that I was sleeping with someone in order to get access to the library. I had never even met the man. At least she was happy, wasn’t she? Silently, we both went into the next room, where she showed me all of the steps to actually
Damon’s POVI was so upset with myself that I kept pacing around the room. This was the first time I will do something to a maid and get this pained.“Am I truly falling for her?” I thought to myself.“I had better not”.The Pack might get into chaos but how will I solve it when my heart is dangling and I can’t even tell which is truth or lie.“I shouldn’t have rejected her so coldly, I think she deserves better” I said aloud.My wolf said gently to me, “don’t blame yourself so hard. It was something you couldn’t control. Not even I could help you”“But that gives me no right to brutally reject her, leading her to shame.” I said feeling all concerned.“Isn’t that why you sent Beta Timothy to search for her in the woods, arrange her new bedsheets and other stuffs? Don’t bite yourself so hard.” My wolf said.“You don’t seem to understand this at all. I was out of order.” I said frustrated.“You were out of order but doing all of these makes it easier to know you are still a good person.
He said that? I was really furious. Of all the people who could accuse me of killing my elder brother, Samuel isn’t. He had made the comment ironically but it still upsets me. How dare he say such to me. “Samuel Evens, you knew I didn’t kill him on purpose. I wouldn’t have done that!” I retorted.“Be calm man, I was just pulling your legs. You shouldn’t be falling for all of these again.” He said with a smile.I was calm but the truth is, I don’t like it being mentioned. Although I knew no one else can say that to my face jokingly as Sam would and he is also that person that pretends to be mean just to get you into being serious and listening to him.I had invited him over but he didn’t come which means that him coming around this time must hold water aside from the whole lady thing which is what I want to know.“What is your purpose of visiting because I know you wouldn’t have come to just hear me rant over your name-given library girl.” I asked.“You are silly, can’t I come to yo
Sarai’s POVI was in the middle of conversation with Beta Timothy when I heard Alpha Damon’s question. Ignoring that and not thinking so much about it, I just went ahead to greet him as I should.“Good day, Alpha Damon”. I said. The space was cold and he didn’t really give a response. I don’t know why so I went ahead to sooth my curiosity.“Alpha, what brings you here, this is the maid’s quarter” I asked him politely. He was just looking at me but Beta Timothy spoke instead. “I think he is here to check out the maid’s apartment.” I wasn’t so cool with the response but couldn’t say anything because I was a maid after all. I mean, I didn’t care to watch the show named Alpha vs Beta.I might be a nerd but I can of course sense the tension between Beta and him!“Beta Timothy is right, I just wanted to check around a few places if not everything so as to get more familiar. Yes.. that’s it.” He stuttered as he spoke and that gave him out. Actually, it was cute of him doing this. A st
As we were walking, he popped up a question. “How do you think the maid can work efficiently in the Pack? I need your honest opinion.” He asked me and that left me no other option than to feel really elated.My opinion was needed for the first time in the Pack. I thought about it so well before responding.“Actually, there is need for more hands and since getting more maid isn’t a good idea, I will recommend we improve the tools used. Like getting a vacuum cleaner and mower to cut the grasses. Also, there’s need to check the routine of food for the maids and also stop the ranking system that insinuate that one maid is better than another. This is just my honest opinion.” I said.This was an amazing response from me especially with the way he was smiling and nodding. I could see he was really interested in what I was saying.“You are indeed smart. The way you chose your words especially when you said more hands are needed but more maids shouldn’t be called into the mansion. I am so im
Alpha Damon’s POV“Do you think the Pack might get attacked on soon?” I asked my wolf as I walked towards the riverside that has been my escape point as well as a meditation point.“There is a possibility that the other Packs might want to attack thereby looking at the situation of things first before making a decision. It’s just my own opinion though.” My wolf said.“I understand and agree with you. If this Pack stays several days without an Alpha, they might end up launching an attack on us.” I said.“But you know that you alone understand this. Many thinks of you as an Alpha who killed his father to rule. I trust and believe your judgement but I can’t speak to others on your behalf. I am so sorry about that”. My wolf said.This riverside is like a stream that houses all my unsaid thoughts. My deepest secret, the truth about me and any other thing that has to do with me which is why I cherished is so much and didn’t want anyone to know about me and the riverside.After seeing Beta
