Chapter 5 – Out of Danger… For Now.

Chapter 5 – Out of Danger… For Now.

I tilted my head at the food on my plate as my mind could not clearly comprehend what the Alpha had said. However, I had decided to brush it off instead and eat my food and since there was no one here in the dining area, I filled my stomach to its fullest since I am not sure when would I have this opportunity again and to see that all these dishes were very well cooked and seasoned makes it more delicious! Goddess, I could have thought of this table as the table in heaven.

It almost took me an hour to finish more than half of the food on the table, I could not take them all anymore, I am too full. I plopped myself back on the chair and rested for a few minutes before I stood up and started piling the empty plates and took them in the sink.

“Madame, I will do it.” A lady came in the kitchen and quickly tried to take the plates from my hand and prevent me from washing them.

“N-no, please, I will do it. Let me.” I replied since this is also my job and I used these plates so I should be the one to clean it

“No Madame, you are the Alpha’s guest, please, let us.” The lady said and firmly stood on the ground not letting me.

“T-then, uhm… please let me help you. I can clean the table… and where should I put the remaining food?” I asked, glancing at the table in the dining area.

“I…the Alpha might get mad to us if we let you work Madame.”

“No, it is alright, the Alpha brought me here to work too.” I smiled shyly.

She looked to the side, thinking and as if she does not believe what I was saying.

“You can just, maybe you can just take the remaining plates here in the kitchen instead and leave it there in the kitchen island Madame, the other Omega servants would come later to take it.”

“Okay. By the way did you eat already? There are a lot of foods left.” I suggested because the food might get wasted.

“We are already done eating Madame.” She replied as she started washing the plates.

And then an idea came up in my head, I should take some of the food instead so I would have something to eat during lunch later.

“Oh, uhm, can I ask for a plastic container instead then where I can put some of the leftovers?” I asked.

“Of course Madame… here.” The lady opened a cabinet and took out a tupperware lunch box and handed it to me.

“Thank you.” I replied and walked to the dining area, limping since my foot still hurts a bit.

I then put some chicken legs and breast, and rolled eggs, and some bacon on the lunch box and closed the lid. I guess that would be enough for my lunch later. Then I followed what the lady said and put the remaining food on the kitchen island.

“By the way, what is your name?” I asked.

“It is Lea, Madame.”

“Lea… such a nice name. Thank you, Lea… And please do not call me madame for I am not.” I said and did not bother to tell her my name instead since I do not have one. They may talk to me without any address if they want. I figured that she was about to ask what to call me then but I gave her a smile and quickly walked away, and took the lunch box and spoon and fork from the dining table and walked up to the stairs and then to my room where I hid the lunch box on a drawer of the bedside table and the book beside it. I walked downstairs again and search for the laundry room, I entered hallways that are not familiar to me and luckily after a few paths, I found the laundry room and saw that there are baskets of dirty laundry on baskets and lined up washing machines. So I looked for the laundry powder and filled the washing machine with after carefully separating the dirty laundries according to their color, type, and extent of dirt in them. I am used to this already.

When I am finished putting them all inside the washing machines, I sat on a small chair in the laundry room and just watched the washing machine spin the laundries inside them.

I do not know how much time was I am spending here in the laundry room for I had to clean some clothes again due to too much mud and dirt in them, the pack must have been doing a lot of work.

When the cleaner clothes were done drying I took them out from the dryer and started folding them nicely while I waited for the others to finish.

However, my head quickly snapped to the door when it suddenly opened and to my fear, it was the Alpha, who was looking evidently furious at me. Unconsciously, my hand started to tremble and my lips quiver as I felt the hot tears trying to pool in my eyes. My hand dropped a white tee shirt and to my fear of getting it dirty again, I immediately picked it up and looked at the Alpha again who was clenching his jaw as his hand was firmly holding the door knob.

“A-alpha. D-do you n-need anything?” I asked as I remember a similar scene where either my mother or brother would barge in and strike me for I forgot to do something or I have committed a mistake, or most of the time, they just take out their anger and frustration on me.

“What are you doing?” I could hear the strict and firmness in his voice as if I have committed something wrong again and that I had to be convicted of it.

“I-I… I was w-washing the la… laundry, Alpha. B-but I will be finished soon, do not worry. I… I… Uhm, is there something else I had to wash Alpha? Or something to do?”

“Did I tell you to do that?”

My eyes widened and looked at him but with his piercing and dangerous gaze at me as if accusing me of something, I immediately looked down and stared at my toes instead.

“N-no, Alpha. I am sorry.”

“Yosmin! Come over here!” I jolted at the booming voice of the Alpha that resonated in the pack house, as he called someone named Yosmin.

“Y-yes, Alpha.” A woman who was probably in her thirties immediately came and stood at the door where the Alpha is.

“Who told her to come here and do the laundry?”

The woman named Yosmin looked at me.

“I-I do not know, Alpha this is my first time to see her.” Yosmin replied, eyeing me.

“No one… No one told me, Alpha. I am sorry.” I said and felt sorry that Yosmin was called on this.

“Continue what she was doing…” the Alpha ordered Yosmin and then he looked at me.

“And you, drop that shirt and follow me.” he instructed which I obediently did as he started to walk away.

“I am so sorry, Madame.” I apologized to Yosmin.

“Oh no, do not call me Madame, just Yosmin. And it is fine, this is our job. Anyway go with the Alpha now.” She said and gestured me to follow the Alpha which I did.

I meekly followed him and we ascended the stair, and he opened my bedroom, entering so I entered as well and braced myself to get punished. He slammed the door shut which made me jot up at the loud noise again.

“Look at me.” he ordered but I hesitated.

“I said look at me.” he repeated firmly and so I slowly looked at him as I held my hand together to stop them from trembling.

“Why did go around the laundry room?”

“I-it is my work Alpha.”

“No it’s not!”

I stepped back in surprise and defense when he flailed his arms in the air, and I feared that he would hit me. I looked down and I can feel that he was watching me. I glanced at him and I could see the confusion in his eyes.

“Stay in this room, and do not do anything until I tell you so. Do not listen to anyone’s order, only from me, do you understand?” he coldly uttered.

“Y-yes, Alpha.”

He then turned around and closed the door, that was when I was able to breathe relaxingly, thinking that I was out of danger… for now.
