Chapter 2

Jane P.O.V.

“Stop screaming. Tell me where you have been this last hour. There was a man for you and you weren’t home. So, I will ask again where have you been?”

“Outside to walk Beta, Dean and Brittney where here, I couldn’t stay in the house. Please stop.”

“You stupid cunt, you’re talking back to me? How dare you.”

The first punch landed on my shoulder, I felt it popping out. Shit, that’s going to hurt later when I have to pop it back in. I let him get his fury out on me. The next punch was at my ribs and I felt like I couldn’t breathe. The he hit my back and I could feel the scars burning up.

“Please Beta, please. I’m sorry Beta Arthur. Please forgive me” I could barely hear myself saying it, but my father stopped.

“Go clean the fucking table, I give you 10 minutes to do so. Every minute longer is one whiplash. When you’re done you will come straight to my office, you got me you dirty bitch?”

“Yes Beta, right away Beta.” He let me go and I stumbled to the table to get started.

I knew I had to be very quick because a whiplash is the last thing my back can handle right now. He walked out of the room and I stopped with what I was doing. First, I had to do something about my shoulder. I popped it back in and hissed at the feeling. I gave myself 1 minute to get myself together then I started to clean again. I really hurts but I couldn’t stop now.

I found a scarf and put my arm in it so it could rest. I will do the cleaning with one arm. After 9 minutes I was done and I took the scarf of and placed it back where I found it. I rushed to the office and knocked on the door. A loud growl lets me know that I can enter and that I have to be prepared for the worst.

I was back at the office in time, that didn’t mean that I was off the hook. To my surprise I walked in and he was sitting at his desk and going through some paperwork. Normally when he growls like that, he would hit me until blood was resting on the walls. This was different, he looked serious at the papers and started talking without looking up.

“Sit down and listing, I’m telling you this once and remember it carefully, if you fall this tasked you won’t get any food for a hole week and you will life in the basement for a hole.” I nodded at bowed at him, he continues talking without noticing what I did.

“As you know there is a mating search event every year. This year it’s our turn to host the event. You will take care of all the Alpha guests. That means your job is to get the guesthouse ready for our neighbors Alpha’s. I want you to get all the 14 bedrooms ready. They’ll arrive this afternoon so the house better be spotless.

They will be joining us on the outside dinner place at the packhouse for dinner, after that they will come to the house and you will be gone. I want you to do the all the rooms in the house. That means all the bedrooms, bathrooms, dinner room, the 2 living rooms, the hallways and the kitchen. Do you understand me?”

“Yes Beta I understand. The hole house needs to be spotless this evening.”

“Well, what are you still standing here for? Make sure the driveway and the garden look beautiful too. And you will also take care of the breakfast and dinner at the guesthouse, you will be cleaning the rooms when the guests are out of the house so they have a clean room to come back to. You will do all the laundry. When your done you come straight back home, even if we aren’t there. Your regular customers will still visit you.”

“Yes Beta. Right away.” I bowed again.

“We are will be at the event for Romy so she can find her mate. We won’t be home that much, that doesn’t mean that your off the hook, I’ll be watching you.” He looks at me with a stern face.

Understandable that this was going to be the weekend I won’t forget very soon, my parents will need to lose there rage on someone. That someone will be me. I bow for the last time and start walking to the hallway. My thoughts went into overdrive. Maybe I can find things so I can give myself a little break now or then, so that I will have it a little easier.

Like walking through the woods and sitting at the lake side. Once outside I can feel the breeze and sun on my skin. This time of year is the most beautiful one. Spring time, the time everything was in bloom. It is the perfect weather for walking and cleaning.

The guesthouse was a 5-minute walk from our house, it was standing in a triangle between the Pack house and the Beta house. It was the safehouse for woman and children when someone attacks the Pack. The hole house could get in lockdown and they would be safe for days if necessary.

The basement had the largest supply on food beside the Alpha house and it has a panic room. Back in the days it was the Packhouse. The Alpha wanted a new house just for his own family with some more privacy. He still allows some parties and gatherings at the guesthouse but other than that it was empty all the time.

No one kept the place clean if it wasn’t used, so I prepared myself for what I would find from the last time that something took place. When I got in the house, I saw that the outside looked good. That meant I had some luck this time. The outside was looking welcoming. I think other pack members already did it. Once inside it wasn’t as dirty as I had suspected. There was more dust than trash. That was another luck for me.

I went to the kitchen en took out all the cleaning products and started with cleaning the first floor; kitchen, 2 living rooms, dinner room and hallway. When I was done with the first floor, I went up the stairs to do all bedrooms, bathrooms and the hallways up there. After working 10 hours nonstop cleaning the hole house I finally was done, it was already dark outside and I guess that it was around dinnertime.

Thankfully I knew this time that I didn’t have to cook because the whole family was at the open dinning place nearby the Packhouse with all the guests. I looked outside the window of the biggest room and watched the moon bounce off the lake between the forest that you can see beautifully from here. I loved watching the moon bouncing in the water. When I look at it,

I dreamed of a life as a wolf and having a mate and swimming without any worries so many times.

I know it was just that, a dream. I know better than to hope that I will ever be a wolf or have a mate. Like I said slaves don’t have mates, but still can be part of a pack, because they can be useful for some work tasks according to Alpha Roan.

Like all the tasked I have at the Pack. Because I am a slave it doesn’t matter that unmated man get to do their thing with me. Unmated man can be with their mate without withdrawing sex. The unmated females are another story. They have to be virgins. I learned at school that every pack has his own rules when it comes to this subject, Alpha Roan was old school with all the rules.

My thoughts got interrupted by hearing cars coming on the driveway of the guesthouse. I panicked, picked up all the cleaning supplies and run down the stairs to put them away in the kitchen. Just in time because I hear the front door open en people talking. The backdoor is next to the kitchen so no one would see me if I went that way.

Once outside something pulled me towards the front of the house, something in me gives me the feeling to go and watch. I didn’t really understand what it was that pulled me to the front. For a second, I stopped and though about going, but then I remembered that my mother would be there and she will get ballistic once she will come home.

I turned around and walked into the forest. I wasn’t scared of it even in the dark I loved walking through it. I took a detour, after being in the cleaning for 10 hours I needed the fresh air. After walking for around 50-minutes when I went home to get some sleep.

Tomorrow I needed to prepare breakfast and clean all the rooms, so better to get some sleep for the night. I was hoping that when I got back everyone will be in their room and I had the chance to quietly sneak to my room.

When I got to the house, I see all the lights are still on and I can hear yelling, great this is not good. When I walked closer to the house, I heard what the yelling was about. I wanted to turn around but I knew I would be too cold for me in the woods all night despite me loving the outsides. As quiet as possible I opened the door and walk towards the stairs.
