Chapter two

" Oh really, did my father say that ? '' that sweet voice could deceive anyone who had never met the wolf behind the sheep's clothing.

" Yes he did, please don't take this to the extreme, I will just be your escort to the great Alphas gathering" I heard Jacob say.

' What! another alpha gathering? ' I asked myself, ignoring the cry for attention from my stomach.

" What do you mean by that Jacob, if I didn't know better I would have taken that as an insult "

She was the one that had insulted herself, it was very clear that she had told her father to order Jacob into being her escort, and knowing the law of the pack, there was no way he would say no to an alpha.

" Don't put words in my mouth Sabrina, I only said that because this isn't the first gathering I had escorted you to and we both know what you did in every one of those gatherings. You need to stop telling people that we are mates, you know that will never be possible "

Jacob made it sink into her and I was a witness to what Jacob said since I was ever present whenever she made a such pronouncement.

'' Is it because of Quinn, you know she can never be a mate to you, father won't allow that ".

I wasn't even surprised that my name was mentioned if she hadn't said my name I would have thought something was wrong.

" Don't be ridiculous Sabrina, what makes you think I want her as a mate?" even a stupid person would know he didn't mean what he said with the way he was stammering.

" You think I haven't noticed the way you stare at her and have that smirk on your face whenever we talk about her just like the one that is currently on your face. " She yelled, I had to peep a little to see if what Sabrina said was true, and yes! I saw Jacob grinning like an idiot.

I couldn't take it anymore so without much care, I walked past them as they both stared at me one of them having looks of desire and the other, hatred." I don't care if you like her or not but if you can't be with me, then you can't be with anyone," she said.

" Ok I admit, I like her and would love her to be my mate but I also want you to admit that you don't have any feelings for me and the only reason why you are after me is that you don't want to see Quinn happy with someone."

Sabrina fell quiet for a while, what Jacob said wasn't far from the truth, the only reason why she was even after Jacob was because he was interested in me. For someone like her, she was supposed to be attracted to alphas from other packs but here she was chasing her father's beta, someone that would never love her.

" Say whatever you want to say, she can't be yours and both of you are escorting me tomorrow," she said and angrily left the presence of the man who was filled with happiness that he was going to get close to me the next day.

Meanwhile in the kitchen,

" What do you mean Sabrina said you shouldn't serve me food? " I asked the cook who had just explained that Sabrina instructed me should eat the leftover food and not the newly prepared one.

" I'm sorry Quinn but that's what madam Sabrina said ".

Sigh, there was nothing I could do other than eat the remains from other people's plates, when have you heard a slave has ever had a choice? I gathered all the dirty dishes and ate whatever I saw.

"Quinn gets ready, you are escorting me to the alpha gathering tomorrow", I felt embarrassed as Sabrina caught me scraping every single grain of food left.

" Ok," I replied.

" The next day came fast, the first thing that came to my mind was to finish vacuuming the rooms before Sabrina noticed, so I got that dealt with.

'' Take wear this dress it's for the event, as my escort I don't want you dressing like a pig. "

I looked at the dress she had handed to me, it was old, white in color, had hand-made designs, beautiful but the only thing wrong was that it certainly does not look my size.

'' Don't you think that this dress is a little bit small considering the fact I am quite bigger than you? "

I knew I shouldn't be saying this since I wouldn't be wearing rags in public but there was no way this dress would size me.

"Have I ever told you how much of an ingrate you are, out of my will I gave you a beautiful dress but you call it small but anyway you must wear it?" She said and left leaving no room for disagreement.

I finished the chores for that day right in time for the alpha gathering. I wore the dress Sabrina gave me, and although it was tight, I was sure I still looked good in it.

" Quinn how long is it going to take you to prepare, who do you think you are trying to delay me? " I heard Sabrina scream from downstairs and it wasn't even time, we still had two hours before the event starts.

" Can you stop screaming, we are still early and what about your pack, when will they arrive? "Jacob said.

'' I want you to know your place Jacob, being my father's beta doesn't give you the right to talk to me as you want " for the very first time Jacob made her angry but that was his initial plan, to always make her angry so she could hate him and if possible leave him alone.

" Woah " I heard Jacob say as they both stared at me coming down the stairs.

' what's wrong ' I thought.

The looks in Sabrina's eyes could kill anyone as it was directed at me but I didn't do anything wrong, I simply wore the dress she gave me and nothing more. " I don't want you wearing that dress, can you take it off ".

What she said took Jacob and me by surprise.

" She is not removing any dress, we are already late for the gathering, right Sabrina? " Jacob used her own words against her as he stared at me with lustful eyes.

' I wish this ground would open and swallow me ' I said inwardly.

'' Sir please I don't want any trouble with Sabrina, I would like to take it off "

Jacob won't be in the house forever and when he leaves, Sabrina would surely make me pay if I wore that dress. I saw Jacob whisper something to Sabrina before she sighed.

'' Fine, you can wear it " she said and stormed out of the mansion.

" You look so beautiful, milady" these were the first words that came out from Jacob,

" Thank you, sir," I said

" You don't need to call me sir, I am only two years older than you, right? "

" If you would excuse me, sir, Sabrina is waiting for me, " I said and walked past him.

"What did he say to you, you know we are friends so you can tell me ?" Sabrina said with the sweetest voice I have ever heard.

"I told her that she was the most beautiful woman I have ever seen, is anything wrong with that? '' we both heard Jacob.

' This boy would certainly be the end of me ' I said inwardly but what surprised me was Sabrina, she didn't look angry instead she had this fake smile on her face.

" Whatever, can we get going," Sabrina said. We used Mr. Gabriel's limousine for the ride but that didn't change the fact that Jacob was invading my breathing space.

" Sir, please I feel very uncomfortable with you being this close to me." That was when I was finally given the chance to breathe well.

" Ehm Quinn, the door! ''

Although this was not part of my work as a maid, she made it compulsory for me to open the car door for any event we attend. " Next time don't let me remind you, " Sabrina said the moment her feet kissed the ground.

" Who are you? "

I heard her say to someone behind me, I looked back and was amazed by what I saw but what he said next shocked everyone including Jacob.

" My lovely mate, who burnt your hands? "...
