ELSA'S POV:
Apparently I wasn't the only new recruit in the household of Alpha Nathan. As we gathered in the long hall waiting to be addressed and welcomed by Alpha Nathan and his Luna, Isabella, I kept balancing my weight on my two feet, growing irritatedly by every passing seconds. My anger kept bubbling up and no matter how hard I tried to distract myself, I couldn't. "Alpha Nathan is a monster. He is the reason you're an Orphan. Never forget that." Mr Graham's words echoed in my head. These particular words had become a constant reminder of why my life had been a hard one. The solemn reason I was there pretending to be a maid. "I'll make sure that this household pays severally," I assured myself the same minute Alpha Nathan and Luna Isabella walked into the hall. They both looked better in person. The pictures of them I was shown did no justice to how great they were looking. They both look exceptionally gorgeous with mild Auras emanating from them. Safe to say you would think they are the kindest in the world with just a glance. It bugged me that someone as mild looking as he could be so heartless to murder a friend over a little agreement. Graham made it clear that my father, Alpha Damien was a great friend to Alpha Nathan. However that friendship ended even before it began. And the so-called reason for the tragic end of my father was the woman standing by Alpha Nathan. My fist clenched as my heart twitched in pain. "You both can't have a great life while my parents wail in their graves." I gritted my teeth, trying my hardest to keep it cool. *********** "I have been looking for you." I turned towards the voice and right there with her hands akimbo was Mina gagging at me with her brows raised and a smirk dancing at the corner of her mouth. "Why?" I question flatly. I was heading back to my room after the brief minute we had with The Alpha and his Luna. Though nothing much was said, but it was exhausting to listen to the man I hated the most speak like he couldn't hurt a fly. "Well, Luna Isabella demands your presence." She announced, gaining a stunned expression from me. "Huh?" Was all I could manage to utter before Mina hooked her arms around mine and started dragging me forward. "Our Luna doesn't bite. In fact, she is the nicest person in this Pack." She declared and I rolled my eyes. "How can that be when she is the reason my both parents are dead." I pondered within myself. "In here everyone is treated equally," Mina continued to blab while I listened to her absentmindedly. "The only time when maids are frowned upon is in a situation of love. As a maid or an omega, you dare not be mated to The Alpha Heir or fall in love." I halted in my tracks the minute I heard that, my body invisibly shaking. How in the world would I carry out my plans if I wouldn't get close to Ezekiel? "Don't worry, you have nothing to worry about. The moon goddess wouldn't disgrace you like that by mating you to Ezekiel. In fact, she wouldn't disgrace anyone of us." She churned, chuckling delightfully like what she had said earlier held no meaning. I wasn't made aware of this said rule or was Mr Graham setting me up when he sent me here? Or it could be that he knew nothing about this. "The truth is, it wasn't always like that. It was recently that this rule was made by the Council members. According to them; All the Alpha Heirs starting from Ezekiel should never get entangled with maids or omega. It would no longer be tolerated to have low-lives Wolves having the Luna positions when there are better options.” Mina explained further and then continued, “well, we are yet to see the Moon Goddess disagree." Mina shrugged and kept walking forward. "That's stupid." I voiced my opinion before she could continue explaining her ridiculous story. Mina gave me a curious look and asked, "What do you mean?" A heavy feeling suddenly filled my stomach, making me unable to reply. What did I mean? "You're not planning on falling for the Alpha Heir?" Mina probed further, giving me another curious gaze as she waited for my answer. Shaking my head, I answered, "Of course not! I'm here to serve as a maid and not fall in love." This seemed to eased Mina as she let out a loud sigh of relief and smiled. "I'm happy to hear that." She unhooked her arm as we made a stop at a door. "This is the Luna's chamber. See you later." With that Mina left me standing clueless in front of the door. "Come in," Luna Isabella said from inside. With a twitching pain in my stomach, I swallowed hard and opened the door to reveal her back turned to the entrance. She was still on the floral dress she wore earlier with her black straight hair cascading her back. Funny to admit, there's something soothing about her presence and the way she carries herself: Like she's meant to be a Luna. "Elsa, is it?" She questioned and turned slowly to look at me, her gaze fixed solemnly on my face. It was like she was scrutinizing me, or probably looking for something on my face. "Take a seat, dear." She mouthed and pointed at a seat for me. I did as I was told and waited to hear why she had summoned me. A brief silence passed and she came to sit by my side, staring at me the entire time with those piercing violet eyes. I was invisibly uncomfortable since I couldn't make out why she would sit with me, a maid? "You look familiar, do I perhaps know your mother or parents?" Her brows were raised as she asked the question. "Not at all, your highness." I quickly said, trying not to arouse any suspicion. "Okay," she shrugged in response after a while and turned away. After a few minutes of interaction with her, she ended the meeting and asked me to leave. "Yes, before I forget." Her voice came as soon as I grabbed the doorknob. "You're appointed as Ezekiel's personal maid." My eyes widened and my hand dropped from the door, "what!" I screamed internally.ELSA'S POV: I kept thinking maybe Luna Isabella was out of her mind when she said I was assigned as Ezekiel's personal maid. Why would a grown ass dude need a maid or could it be she knows who I am?But there was no way anyone would link me to Amber and Damien of Crest Lake Pack. In fact, my Pack has gone into extinction. I could swear that I’m the only surviving member of Crest Lake Pack so she wouldn't know who I am. “Just take it as the odds are working in your favor. Being his personal maid would give you the opportunity to make him fall for you and then carry out your plan.” I assured myself, beaming at the rare opportunity presented to me in a platter of gold.I quickly fished out my phone and dialed Mr Graham's number.“Elsa?” His stoic voice came at the end of the phone.“You settled well?” He further asked.“Yes, I have been assigned as Ezekiel's personal maid.” I told him and from the shifting sound in the background, I could swear he took the news well.“That's great. D
EZEKIEL'S POV: "Are you okay, babe?" Rue asked as she tried to open my shirt button. I grunted and pushed her aside. "Not today, Rue. I'm not in the mood." I spat out and gulped the content of my glass and set it down."It's impossible for Zeke not to be in the mood for s*x. What happened to you dude?"I rolled my eyes at the annoying voice of my best friend. "Chris, stop it already. It's not funny." Rue stood up and picked her bag, ready to leave. "Bye." She uttered and stormed out angrily."Yoo! That's too harsh, dude. This is your girlfriend you're treating this way." Chris chastised me, clearly angry."Do you want me to leave your house?" I glared at him and he raised his hands up in surrender."Alright chillax dude. You're acting like a spoiled brat." He muttered under his breath and poured himself a drink.I huffed and looked away, if only he knew."So my father said you and I have only one year left to assume duties. With the way your mood swings, it will be hard playing yo
ELSA'S POV: My second day here and it hasn't been eventful except for the kiss with Ezekiel the previous day.I was adjusting to the life of a maid though it was hard to. Glancing at the container in my hand, I hissed in anger. “I wonder how long I have to take this drug?” I mumbled and threw a tablet into my mouth.The sour taste passed through my throat and I cringed, shaking my head vehemently.I couldn't believe that I have to go this low to complete my mission. Taking a drug that will disguise me as an omega because I wouldn't want Alpha Nathan to find out I was the daughter of Alpha Damien of Crest Lake Pack. “Are you sick?” Mina's startled me and I quickly hid the container by my side and smiled at her.“I should have some privacy.” I voiced and Mina nodded, apologizing instantly. “I knocked but you didn't answer though. And I was worried because you were taking so much time in here.” “It's fine.” I mumbled and stylishly hid the container and smiled at her. “Why are you
EZEKIEL'S POV: Chris's house was filled to the brim with people from his school. I haven't attended school all my life. I was homeschooled and any friends I had, it was through Chris. Except that I'm in college now and graduating soon so I could take over the pack. "Hey, Man!" I huffed as his annoying voice came from behind me. The loud music in the background made it difficult to hear him clearly."Where is Rue?" Chris asked and settled beside me on the couch."She is in the ladies." I stated and looked away."Your Mate?" He whispered. I quickly scanned the crowd and saw no sign of Elsa. I suddenly felt uneasy as Knight, my Wolf growled impatiently."I know, buddy. Let's go find her." I mumbled and patted Chris on his back before exiting. I searched the whole building yet I saw neither Rue or Elsa. Something told me that if I find Rue I will find Elsa. Rue had been in a foul mood since learning that Elsa was assigned to me as my new maid. I could have just told her the tru
ELSA’S POV:"You are not getting caught making out with Ezekiel?" I screamed internally, looking for a way out. There was definitely nowhere I could hide. The restroom was pretty enclosed for two people.My eyes shot up in huge fear as I realized it was not just anyone coming to the restroom, but Rue.My panic level rose to the highest degree, and I thought of several lies to tell if we eventually got caught."I'm doomed," I kept chattering. My plan hadn't matured yet to fail at this level."Be still," Ezekiel whispered, and he had his hand resting near my chest, calming my rapid breathing. Despite the worry in his eyes, his gaze held something I couldn't decipher. We waited, counting the seconds."Rue?" It was Chris's voice. A moment of relief washed over Ezekiel and me."Can you help me with something in the kitchen?" Chris requested. Something in the back of my mind said he knew about us in the restroom.As soon as we heard their footsteps fading away, our racing hearts calmed dow
ELSA’S POV: "Now, it's my turn," he whispered, guiding my hands towards his hard bulge, its length surprisingly long.A bang on the door got both of us scattering to our feet. “Ezekiel, you better come out.” Chris's voice was low, and his tone was laced with warning.I suddenly felt so bad for Ezekiel. Regardless of my deep resentment towards him and his family, I wanted nothing more than to make him as happy as he had made me.It's not news anymore that my body and soul seemingly disagree with my head whenever I find myself in Ezekiel's presence.“I will leave first.” He said, the desires in his eyes coursed through the tone of his voice. I nodded and watched him leave.After a while, I adjusted my gown, breathed in, and walked out like nothing had happened.I met Chris along the corridor with a warm smile on his face. It looked like the party was over.“He is waiting for you in the car,” he mouthed, the warm smile still lingering in his face.Brushing a strand of my hair past my e
ELSA'S POV:I had no idea what I had done, but it was pretty bad to get Alpha Nathan coming to my quarters and ordering that I should be dragged out in the field. With a little thud, the guards that had seized me let go of me, and I hit my butt so hard on the rocky ground. All the servants had gathered, and in the midst of the crowd was Rue smirking at me, and I had a feeling that my predicament had everything to do with her."Whip her until she has no legs to walk." Alpha Nathan commanded and turned to leave when I spoke up. "Please, sir, what did I do?" I needed to know what my offense was.He stared down at me with a begrudged look and said, "Your only crime was existing." His tone was so cold that I could feel the chills emanating from him.Swallowing hard, I watched him leave and got ready to be flogged. The guard on my right raised his hand, about to hit me, when I caught sight of a man in the crowd. He was in all black, with his face hidden in the shadows. I blinked twice, an
THE MASKED MAN’S POVI sat bored, staring at the man before me, wriggled in pain. He was missing four fingers in his right hand, all thanks to me."No matter what you do to me, I won't say a word," he groaned, his voice raspy and cracked. His face was puffy and swollen. Blood trickled from his lips and nostrils.I gave an evil smirk through my mask. "Not like I give a damn about you though, but for the sake of this matter, you are going to talk, or I’ll make sure to kill your entire family before your very eyes." I threatened him with my lips pulled up in a smirk.His jaw dropped slightly. "You will never get away with that." He coughed, blood splattering on my boots. "Well, you will see." I said casually, my smile gone. I stood up, adjusting my long black coat."If you're not going to talk, by the time my men are done with you, you will spill everything." I smirked and turned to my men. "Make sure he talks."I headed towards the entrance of the underground. I hadn't made it far when
