Rex's POV "What do you mean you don't know where she is?" she snapped in annoyance Never have i seen my mother so upset or irritated in my life! I had successfully irritated her to the point that my very presence must have disgusted her."Your mate is nowhere to be found and you're telling ke, you don't know where she is?! " She adds, making sure to point out how ridiculous the whole situation seemed ."She ran away mother, she clearly doesn't want me " "I've met the young lady and I know she would have rejected you to your face if she wanted to" She went quiet suddenly and eues moved front the glass I held to her face in worry.Her health seemed to get worse by the passing day abd i was worried . I lost my father way back, I didn't want to lose my mother eurher.."Is this about Gwen?" She asked sharply "Mother…" "Did your mate run away because of Gwen? Answer me Rex!" She snapped The only one who dared to raise her voice on me was my mother, anyone who dare to
Joan's POV I searched everywhere for a medic but they all seem to have vanish into the thin air. Racheal wasn't home either and I couldn't ask her for help. I was starting to worry that I might not get a cure in time bit I remained calm, knowing that worrying would only cloud my judgement.The sun was starting to set when I asked an old lady where I could find a herbal store."You might have to go to the very edge of the market dear. An old man lives there, he'll get you all the herbs you need " "Thank you so much ma'am" i hurried to the direction she gave, arriv8ng just as he was abput to close the store."Good evening. Please I need something to make my aunt better…" "The store is closed" he groaned "Please! She has a fever and I'm worried it would get worse by morning" He sighed and returned back to the store where he picked up a few mixtures."One in the morning and another at night. She will be better by morning" "Thank ypu so much sir" "Ho home. Its dangerous to walk so
Joan's POV "They're still out there" Ms Anna said, staring out the window. It's been two days since the incident with Alpha Jerome and I was glad to see Ms Anna was getting better.I packed the last of my things, sad to say goodbye.Rachel has not been home since and I was starting to wonder if her mate had come to claim her forcefully. Her brother claimed he received a letter from her and according to the letter, she would not be returning anytime soon.I just hope she's okay.."I'm glad you're feeling better Ms Anna " I offered, strapping my bag of clothes on my back"What deal did you strike with the Alpha Joan? Why would he have guards watching you?" Ms Anna asked She looked genuinely worried but u couldn't bring myself to tell her what had really happened. It would only make her feel worse than she already did. "The Alpha wants me to be his maid and I asked to make sure you are well before I report to his palace Ms Anna. " That was about all I could tell
Joan's POV Why is this woman after my life? I barely even know her and yet she's nothing short of a witch scheming to hit me.For what?! I was starting to wonder if being the head maid often makes you narcissistic.I'm genuinely curious."I'll punish her myself" My eyes snapped to Alpha Jerome in shock, is he being serious right now? I clearly just walked out of paradise into hell itself and this is infcat the second time in a row..Am I cursed with bad luck?"Take her things and set them in one of the rooms on the second floor" he said, h8s eyes on me bit I could tell he was talking to Ms Whip (I don't know her name, might as well call her with an object that follows her everywhere she went)"Second floor Alpha? The nods have their quarters outside the mansion…" To my shock, he pulled out his sword, placing it around her neck and piercing her skin till blood spilled on the sword.My knees buckled underneath and my eyes wide open in horror…Is he going to kill
Joan's POV After Alpha Jerome dismissed me for a meeting, I made my way back into the main house, hoping to come across Ms Emma.I wasn't looking forward to meeting her again but she's with my clothes and she knows where my room was.Taking in the splendour of this mansion, I wondered if the maids around here see this place in its magnificence as I did.Of course not.Alpha Rex's mansion looked just as majestic ,even better than this but all I could think of was my horrible time there.I made my way up the stairs, avoiding any eye contacts. I could see the maids staring at me like I was some freak! Just great! So much for trying to be on a low profile! Of course rumors would spark because Ms Emma was ordered to take my bag to my room..I groaned as I realised what this would mean for me, I made an enemy for life! My time would certainly be miserable. Just fantastic, exactly what I need after escaping hell barely a month ago! Finally on the 2nd floor, I walked past
Joan's POVI stopped on my tracks, staring at the girl who had just asked the question."I was told to get the Alpha's food" I replied simply. I wasn't looking for any trouble and I wanted it to remain that way. "The Alpha's food she says" another girl said as though mimicking me I was trying my best not to roll mt eyes at her right now . What issues did she have with me? "His tray is over there" I made my way towards the direction pointed where a girl was holding the tray, mischief in her eyes.Just as i was about to take the huge tray from her, she drops it, earning laughter from everyone in the room.Maya kicked in and I caught the tray just seconds before it hits the ground.The room became silent as I walk out of the kitchen. The look of shock on their faces was amazing and rewarding.I wasn't some girl they could pull pranks at and for some weird reason,it felt like Maya had grown stronger over the course of one month./You're welcome dear/ Carrying the he
Joan's POV "Wipe it clean, you lazy bunch!" Ms Emma screams in my face.I couldn't tell which was more annoying, her screaming so loud or the fact that she spits a lot while at it? My job was to clean the Alpha's room and make sure his things were in place but this woman made it her business to watch me do the cleaning.Shouldn't she be supervising the other maids? Why is she all up in my business anyway? "No peck of dust on the ground, do you hear me? Not a single speck of dust! " She said for the hundredth time that evening!She was starting to annoy me. It took a great time convincing Maya to stay put and not wolf out. She's been staring all day, waiting for a chance to snap at Ms Emma's face and scar her for life! If you do that, we're going to draw attention to ourselves. We could be forced to hold metal plates Which would burn into my skin and never heal…Maya agreed to stay put and I made sure I kept my anger at bay as well. Any signs of trigger and May
Joan's POV I sat there, holding his towel and my back to the bathroom as the sound of sponge scratching hard against skin filled my ears.It was hard to ignore what I had just seen and to have witnessed something do gore and disgusting….I was set to lose my mind, certainly,my sleep as well.My eyes got a glimpse of the bloody clothes in the corner, staining the floor I had spent so much time cleaning."Towel" I handed him his towel, my back still in the bathroom. Alpha Jerome was out of the bathroom soon, looking clean and …..dare I say, innocent."That was a boar's blood" je muttered, walking towards his closet with the towel wrapped around his waist.I turned my back to him , giving him the privacy he deserved. I might be his personal maid but that doesn't give me the right to stare at his body like some fucking pervert."I went hunting in the woods with my beta and to my shock, my arrow was blunt. " He chuckled in amusement " The boar didn't take that well and jumped a
