Alpha Martains's POV Her scent lingered in the air, taunting me. I needed to find a way to keep her close without loosing my control. I cannot deny the fact that I want her close to my side. She is like a force pulling me closer to her anytime I see her. I can't rush things. "Come off it, Martains. You are the alpha and you should be in control." I shouted at myself. I did regain my composure a bit after relaxing in bed for a while. I had to be at the pack house today so I stood up and left the room for the pack house. I met Luciana on my way out. She was just coming in. "Are you still home, darling? I thought you would be in the pack house? Thank goodness I did not go over to the pack house to look for you yet, I would not have seen you." "Yes. I was in my room doing somethings so I am just heading out now." "Be safe at work then. Do not make me worry so much." she said and placed a kiss on his cheek. To test her to see if the food incident was Emily's own doing or an order
Ashley/Olivia's POVMy mind raced as I left Martains's office. I couldn't believe what had just happened.From a maid to personal assistant, it was a drastic promotion. But what did it mean? Was this a trap, or an opportunity? I had to be careful, but I also had to play along. For now, I would have to accept my new role and see where it would take me.On a second thought, I reasoned it as a good opportunity. Martains was giving me the opportunity to come closer. I did not even have to stress myself much to achieve this.I got to the kitchen to see the head maid run up to meet me, smiling. "I heard you've being promoted by the alpha."Phew! That was fast. Was that how gossips spread? I just stepped out of the alpha's office and the news has reached almost everyone.I nodded in affirmation to her statement and continued to go do the dishes.She stopped me half way, "Don't bother about that. You don't work here anymore. I don't want the alpha to hold me responsible if he still finds yo
Luciana's POVI just came back to the house in the morning to hear the news from my loyal reporters."There is a maid the alpha seems to fancy. She has been going to his room a lot.""He overlooks her errors and smile about it. She is leading the alpha away.""She cooked a great deal of food on her first day here. I think she was trying to impress the alpha and he is gradually falling for her charm."Who is that wench?" I screamed."It is the new personal maid of the alpha, Emily, your highness."My mind thought of her when I heard all of this. Nobody would had been in this house for a long time would date challenge my authority. She is the only one that is daring me right now. "Why is Martains swayed aside just because of this little devil? No! I must stop this! She cannot ruin things for me. I would get her out of my way. She can't be a temptation to the alpha.""Damn it all to hell." my teeth clattered as I swore through the open holes."Call that servant over here." I barked out
Alpha Martains's POVEver since I met Emily, my day was always fulfilled. She brought a kind of joy I have not experienced in such a long time and a crazy desire to have her.I do fancy beautiful women but I haven't felt this kind of attraction for anyone except her. I must admit, I have fallen for her. I tried to suppress showing it but my body and expression always betrayed me whenever she was around.It was such a blessing to have her as my maid. I want her to be more than this. I wanted to have her on my bed but she has kept being headstrong."She would fall for my charm one day. A day would come that she would not be able to resist it." I said, smiling to myself.Days had passed since she became my maid and everyday, she did things that amazed me. It was foolish of Carl to think that she was an enemy.I was growing fond of her. I found this kind of attraction much different from the ones I have felt with every other lady and had my way with them. It was as if it was a reunion or
Ashley/Olivia's POVI brought in the food he had asked me to prepare but I found him sweating profusely in his sleep, and his chest rose and fell steadily."You asked me to prepare a meal and here you are sleeping. Don't tell me you aren't going to eat this food and my efforts would be in vain. That is not going to happen at! You would eat this even if it is a bite." I grumbled beneath my breath. It was torturous to prepare a meal and have it thrown later without eating it.Was he pretending to be asleep?"Your food is here, alpha. I would go prepare your bathe now." I said as I made to drop the tray on the table."Stop pretending to be asleep. I am going to wake you up this moment." I hissed as I did not get any response from him.I raised my head to take a closer at him. He was sweating more profusely than he was when I entered and his lips moved shakily although I could not hear any sound.His hands clutched at the bedsheets and there was a look of pain on his face. Was he having a
Ashley/Olivia's POV"Thank you for being here for me, Emily but I want to be alone. I can manage and I still have other work to do. You can go now." Martains said, releasing me to go.I breathed in some fresh air after leaving Martains room."Phew! So much for being a maid to your enemy." To maintain my sanity and avoid constant meeting with Luciana, I was always out of their way.Whenever I saw her coming, I passed a different route. Although we lived in the same house as superior and maid, I was just perfect in avoiding her path.She did not also have time for me as she must be preoccupied with whatever evil she was planning. I was not going to relax because I knew she had eyes everywhere around me.Every of my moves and actions were reported directly to her.I was not just a maid in the house, I did other things during the other hours when I was not working.When I wasn't working, I was either out training, sleeping or handling some paperwork Martains gave me to work on overtime.
Ashley/Olivia's POVI watched as the unknown person who talked with the maid disappeared into the woods. He took a path leading deeper into the woods and out of the territory."What was he doing with Luciana's maid? Who was this maid working for? Was she working alone?"I looked closer at her but she did not seem like one who was involved in secret dealings.From my observation of her at the house, she didn't have the power to do things that are evil by herself. "There must be someone behind her." I concluded."And that person is no one else than her employer, Luciana."That is the only credible thing I thought of now. She would have been threatened by the Luna to run such dirty errands for her.The maid also made her way out of the wood. I made sure there was no one around before I came out from where I was hiding.With a deep breath, I stepped out from behind the tree and followed the maid at a distance, careful not to be seen by her.She took a detour and went another way in the w
Lance's POVI was surprised to be dragged out of the hallway by Emily. I was on my way to Luciana's room when I saw her at the door eavesdropping."Where are you dragging me to?" I asked, confused."Just a bit and we would be safe.""Safe? Are you in some sort of trouble with Luciana? Did you get on her bad side?"We stopped moving and she left my hands. She was looking flustered."What's wrong, Emily? Why were you standing there at the door?" I asked.She hesitated, rubbing her hands against each other, "I was to get something for the luna.""And?..." I urged her on when I saw her relax.She looked around as if she was scared if anyone would hear her."Tell me what is wrong and stop hesitating. What did Luciana do to you?" I took her hands in mine, soothing her tensed palm."We can't do this. The luna would skin me alive if she sees me holding hands with you." she said and dragged her hands out of mine."Did she threaten you?""No, alpha. Do not think of it that way. I was just there
