Chapter Five: The Alpha's Eyes

Lila's POV

After the party, I resumed my cleaning duty the next day. I was exhausted, Jade is making my life hell by giving me plenty of work to do.

“You’ve done enough for today, go to your room. I'll find someone else to continue for you.” Holly said and patted my back.

I felt so relieved after she dismissed me, I trudged to my room, tired and worn out.

I couldn't shake the feeling that I was being followed but I was too exhausted to look back.

I entered my room and was about to shut it behind me when it was pushed back.

“Hey, girl.” Nolan pushed the door and forced his way in, shutting the door behind him

“What do you want?” I asked bluntly.

“I saw the way you were staring at me when I just arrived here. You want me.” He declared.

“You are mistaken, I don't want you. Please leave, I need to rest.” I jeered.

He pushed me on the bed and climbed on top of me, cuffing my hands over my head and tying them.

“What are you doing?” I exclaimed, tears forming rapidly behind my eyeballs.

I lay on the bed with my hands tied, crying, sweating, and scared to death. Praying for someone to save me.

Nolan unzipped his pants, threw his waist-belt away, and then leaned in closer to me with an evil grin

"Do you know what I want?" he scoffed coldly. His arms grabbed my breasts and he sucked my nipples, making me moan against my will.

"I want you, and I take what I want.”

He was about to take off my panties when Holly barged into the room and stopped him from his act.

I was so released and grateful to Holly after he left. The moon goddess did not abandon me as I assumed.

********

The weeks went by with Holly protecting me from Nolan’s advances and Jade's wicked act of torturing me.

Vance called all his concubines for a meeting. I was wondering if I should attend because he has not once touched me. And I do more work as a maid than what Holly and Jade do as concubines.

“Everyone listen up! My first son and Alpha of the Bloodthorn pack, Alpha Cole, is coming to find a mate in this pack. We shall hold a party, a feast, right here in the mansion for him.” Vance declared.

Jade would be responsible for selecting the maids who would work at the party.

Holly would be in charge of the preparations, while Lila would arrange beautiful, strong, and capable wolves that are fit to be my son's Luna and mate. Vance informed us and left.

I was stunned with my mouth open.” Did he just give me a befitting role to carry out?”.

“Congratulations Lila.” Holly patted my back and left to start up her task. I was left alone with Jade who glared at me with anger written all over her face.

“Don't you dare think you're important to him?” He only offered you the task because you're the late Alpha's daughter, and you’ve been in this pack and know all the ladies.” Jade mocked my little victory.

I ignored her. I don't care about the reason why Vance gave me this task; I am only happy that I won't be working so hard as a maid at the party as I did at Nolan's welcoming party.

Preparation started in earnest for Alpha's Cole's visit. I was allowed to visit my mother for this task, to help me choose and make sure all selected female werewolves were available on that day.

It wouldn't have been difficult for me to command their respect and achieve that, knowing I am the most disrespected and humiliated member of the pack due to my wolfless state.

A day before Alpha's scheduled visitation. I and Holly had some free time to chat after finishing our task for the day.

“Have you met Vance’s first son before?” I asked her. I have been very curious about Alpha Cole and was wondering if he is the same as his father and brother in character.

Holly sighed deeply before answering.

“No, I have not.”

But I have heard that he is a billionaire, very hot and handsome with a body to die for.

“If he's all that, why does he need to find his mate here in the Nightshade pack?” I heard the Bloodthorn pack and other packs have much stronger and more beautiful females than us. I was more curious about the reason for Alpha Cole's visit.

I don't have an answer to that Lila. I guess we will find out when he arrives tomorrow. I need to rest, tomorrow is a long day. Holly replied and left for her room.

I also went to my room in the maid's quarters, still thinking of the real reason for Alpha Cole’s visit. It just doesn't make sense to me. I feel there is something more fishy going on, and I pray he doesn't end up being like his promiscuous father and half-brother.

******

The following morning.

“I look good.” I admire myself in the mirror just beside my cupboard. I had gotten up very early, not that I wanted to, but I didn't want to face Vance or Jade's troubles.

After a few more admiring looks in the mirror, I stepped out of my room. The hallway was quiet and empty.

I got scared at first, but when I began to hear murmurs coming from the living room, I felt at ease and motioned towards the living room.

What the hell is going on here? I saw Holly and Jade standing like they always do when they want to welcome a visitor.

“You are late,” Holly whispered to me as I joined her where she was standing. Alpha Cole is here.

Before I could respond, Vance came in with his son Cole, and we all bowed to greet them both. Vance introduced us as his concubines when my head was still bowed in greeting.

Cole tilted his head to see who his father pointed to, he made eye contact with me, and I nearly shitted my pants.

For some reason, I don't know, my heart thumped loudly as they met him.

“MATE.”

We both said, and his eyes suddenly turned cold as he glared at me with anger and displeasure written all over him…
