In the big mansion of the Alpha of the Shadow Moon pack. The house was as quiet as it has always been. Some maids could be seen walking in and out as they cleaned in a hurry. They all know what could happen to them if Alpha Aiden meets them there.
They were only allowed to clean the house at their scheduled time before going back to their quarters. And no matter what happens or whatever noise is heard from the main house, no one must interfere or enter the house except the person who wants death. Rumor has it that the alpha sleepwalks at night, which makes him not want anyone to stay with him in the main house. In the hallway upstairs, a maid could be seen mopping the floor. She packed her brown hair into a tight bun. She looked messy, with the sweat building up all over her body. Suddenly, a loud ringtone disrupted the quiet hallway. She quickly took the phone from her pocket and put it in silence mode before looking around her to check if anyone was coming. "Good of you, Amelia. You picked up my call on time today." She heard the voice say over the phone, followed by a laugh, but she just sighed as she kept looking around to see if anyone was coming, because she knew the consequences as they weren't allowed to use phones in the house. "Send me money. I will be expecting it." "I'll send it tomorrow. I'll collect my pay tomorrow; please just wait." Amelia begged. She knew he would surely call her for money, since it was already the end of the month. She has been working as a maid since she was eighteen, four years ago. Apart from being a wolfless omega, her life has been so difficult ever since her mother died, and her father blamed her for her mother's death. Not that she knew who her mother was because she died when she was a baby, but she only heard from her father and had seen pictures of her. And ever since then, she has had to work for her family. Not that she was also happy working and giving her father the money, but she didn't have anyone or anywhere to go. He's the only one for her in the world, even though he's also the worst. "Just make sure you send it tomorrow, or you won't like what I'll do to you." She heard, followed by the hang-up sound. She sighed again as she thought about giving him and her stepmother the money she had worked for again. Tears were almost running out of her eyes as she thought of her miserable life, forgetting where she was. She was just a wolfless Omega who still wished to go to college and become successful, even though she knew it wasn't possible because of her status in the pack. The money she makes from side jobs, her father still collects from her. She was still thinking about her life when she heard a voice call her name from behind. She quickly turned around to face the person, but due to fear, the phone in her hand dropped. But it didn't drop to the ground; it fell into the big flower pot that was close to her. "What are you doing here? The housekeeper asked us to come together for a meeting downstairs." The maid said, looking at her suspiciously. Amelia also noticed this, and she knew that the maid might have thought that she had stolen something, given that she was just a part-time cleaner. Without bothering to search for her phone, she left the mop and left the hallway with the maid. *** She was assigned another job downstairs by the housekeeper, and she couldn't get the chance to go back upstairs to get her phone. By the time they all finished their jobs, it was already late, and it was the right time to leave the main house. Also, she didn't remember leaving her phone upstairs. They all went back to their quarters, ate their food, and went to their respective beds. Amelia, who was also packing her bags as she would leave for her house the next day, collapsed on the bed. She was so tired that the only thing on her mind was to go to sleep. But as she closed her eyes, she suddenly opened them back. She sat up immediately. "My phone. Oh my goodness! I didn't take my phone from the house." She whispered with her eyes widening. "How could you forget your phone, Amelia?" She hit her forehead lightly. She sighed as she lied back on the bed, but raised up again. She wasn't allowed to go into the mansion at night, nor could she forsake her phone until next week, when she would come back. She had a feeling that something would have happened to her phone by then, and she was the only one who knew what she faced before getting the phone. When she couldn't take it any longer, she sneaked out of the room quietly and walked out of the quarters. She was so careful as she watched for the guard monitoring the building. It took almost an hour before she could get into the mansion, and to her surprise, it was so quiet and dark that it gave her chills as she stepped inside. At that point, she regretted not taking a torch with her. She was not expecting to find a dark room, but still, she couldn't go back after what she went through before entering the house. "I think I should find the switch first." She whispered to herself, not thinking that someone might be in the room. She didn't see or know where she was going, but she just kept trying to feel things with her hands as she moved, but suddenly she felt something like a hand grabbing her by the arm. She became alerted immediately and wanted to scream, but couldn't. She knew she was caught. "I'm..." Before she could complete her words, she heard a masculine voice. "Mate." She heard him say, but she couldn't move. She was shocked that she couldn't push him away, but when she felt his other hand on her cheeks and heard him say. "You came back." His hand slowly went behind her neck, but before he could pull her closer, Amelia finally screamed and pushed him away, making him fall to the ground before she ran out without looking back.The next morning. The whole house was clean and bright, with the rays of sunlight shinning through the windows. The house was so big and beautiful, covered in white and beautiful furniture. The living room was so big, with a large couch and pillows, but in the middle of the room lied a man. He was sleeping on the floor, with his back on the ground, his hands spread on the floor, and one of his legs on the couch, as if he had no life in him. Suddenly, his leg that was on the couch moved slightly before he put it down and moved in his sleep. After some minutes, he opened his captivating dark eyes slowly. Even with the way he looked rough and reeked of alcohol, he still looked handsome. Thin lips, a strong jaw, and beautiful black hair. He was just too handsome, even in his state. He sat up, but was hit with a terrible headache. Ah! He exclaimed with his hands on his head as he pulled himself up in struggle. He kept running his hands into his hair as he walked towards the stairs, but
He took his bath and went to work, but still he couldn't stop thinking about how his wolf could call another woman a mate.He had to cancel all his meetings because he couldn't concentrate. This is the first time such has happened to him in months. "Shit!" He closed his laptop frustratingly and took out his phone to make a call. "Eric, I need every detail about that girl this night. Even the little ones." He said this before hanging up.The day kept becoming shorter for him as each minute passed by. He couldn't even get any work done until work was finally over for the day.It was already late when he came back home. Almost midnight. Something that has never happened before. Even when he gets drunk in the club, he comes back home early and continues with his drinking.He walked into the house. "Good evening, sir." Eric greeted. Eric was his assistant at work, and he had some things to attend to on that day, so he couldn't follow Aiden to work.Without replying to his greetings, he ask
In the big office.The door opened, and a tall guy with blue eyes and brown hair walked in. Nicely carved brows, strong jaw. He was as handsome as Aiden, even in his white shirt tucked in black pants. "Is something wrong? I left home as soon as you called me." The guy named Liam said before noticing his pale face. "You didn't get any sleep again?" He asked, but Aiden just sighed. Aiden had already dropped the file he was going through. He walked towards the mini-palor in the middle of the office and took a seat on the couch, before Liam also sat opposite him. "That was why I said there was a problem. I met this girl... She's a new maid in the house or so, and..." He couldn't even complete his words. He ran his fingers into his hair in frustration and sighed. Liam was the only one he was really close with and could confide in. He shares everything going on in his life with him, maybe because he's a doctor. But he still talks with him more than he does with his other brother, Jason.
The next morning,She woke up with puffy eyes. She had cried all night. Looking around the big room, she quickly moved away from the big bed. She noticed that her belongings had been brought to the room, but as she searched through her bag, her phone was not there. How can she call her father and tell him about the problem she has encountered? She cried, thinking about it, but stopped immediately when she heard a loud knock on the door.She became even more terrified as the knock kept getting louder, but still she couldn't move closer to open it. All of a sudden, the door opened. "Have you gone mad? Didn't you hear the knocks?" The housekeeper screamed, but Amelia was just looking quietly with her face all sweaty.Seeing that she wasn't saying a word, the housekeeper also sighed before dropping a pair of clothes, which she recognized as the clothes the full-time maids wear, on the bed. "You only have fifteen minutes." The woman said before leaving the room.She kept looking at the clo
The van stopped in front of a cafe in the city. She looked around and noticed that the man had gone out of the van, and she took that as an opportunity to escape. Opening the trunk, she slowly crawled out and quickly moved away to avoid anyone seeing her. She was hoping she would get caught at the gate, because the guards at the entrance of the house would surely check any car that leaves the house, but strangely and luckily for her, they didn't, which made her more thankful. She made sure she walked far away from the van to avoid any problems with her getting caught. "You're finally saved, Amelia." She kept saying this to herself with tears running down her cheeks as she walked along the route home, but suddenly she remembered something. "No. I can't." She knew that the Alpha already knew she was an Omega from his pack, and going back home would surely get her caught. Not that she also had anywhere she could go, but home to her father was surely not an option.Having no destination
The next morning, All night, she couldn't sleep. She couldn't believe she would be locked up in that small room again, but still, she didn't care. She kept telling herself she wouldn't be weak give in to his demands, even if he were to kill her. Her face looked strong and determined, with no emotions in it.Not too long, she heard a sound from the door, which made her know that someone was trying to unlock it. The door was pushed open, and two men entered and dragged her with them.She knelt on the cold floor of the living room, facing the empty couch, but she was not alone. Two men stood on different sides of the room, but not too far away from her. She kept looking at the couch, and as soon as she huffed a sigh, she heard a sound coming from the stairs. Without having to look at who it was, she already knew it was him. He walked majestically into the room, sat elegantly on the couch she was facing, and looked at the girl, who was also staring at him directly, like she didn't fear
In the bedroom given to her, she sat down on the bed, looking at the copy of the document she had just signed. She sighed before stretching forward to take the contract. And as she went through it, different kinds of emotions kept flowing through her.Party B must obey and do whatever Party A says at all times without complaining or refusing.Party B must not tell anyone about the relationship or the contract between them or talk to anyone without the permission of Party A.Party B is not allowed to leave the house without permission from Party A.Party B is only allowed to perform the activities of a personal maid for party A, including cooking and doing everything party A wants, except cleaning or going near party A's studies. There were a lot of conditions under which she couldn't even continue reading."This is more like slavery. He threatened me to sign this useless contract." She cried, trying to tear it off, but stopped when she remembered it was of no use.Suddenly, a knock ca
She entered the house and was left stunned. It wasn't as classy as Aiden's home, but the green and brown of the room blended so well, giving it its own class. Just the typical modern, dark werewolf house. She walked in between the people, admiring the beautiful halls. She didn't know what she went there for, but there was no harm in looking around. She was still looking around when she suddenly heard a voice, which she knew was directed at her. "Hey."The woman also knew she had caused a scene because of the people's gazes on her. She just walked up to Amelia and whispered, despite her tone denoting she was angry. "What are you doing here? Shouldn't you be serving drinks to the guests?"The woman did not even wait before she dragged her away from the place to the kitchen. In the kitchen. "Take this tray and go serve the guest." She said, pointing towards the drink filled with different glasses of drink, but Amelia, who was still standing there, confused, just kept looking at the drin
He got home late in the night. He entered the house to see Carrie sitting in the living room, pressing her phone. "Aiden, you're back." She stood up to hug him as he walked towards her.Aiden just stood without wrapping his arms around her. He pushed her back gently. "It's late. You should be in bed already.""I was waiting for you. Change first and come back downstairs to have dinner."He stopped in his tracks. There was only one person that do wait for him to have dinner, no matter how late he was, and he didn't even eat it often. Everything happening to him kept reminding him of her. She would leave soon, and he wouldn't see her again. That was what he wanted, but why does it make his heart feel heavy? Thinking about it made him feel so uncomfortable. Without looking at Carrie, he said. "I don't like eating dinner this late. Good night."She watched him until she couldn't see his back view anymore. She scoffed angrily. "You have nowhere you can run to, Aiden. You're only mine."
"Is this the time you wake up every morning? Starving hungry? What is he paying you for when you can't wake up early to cook breakfast?" Carrie asked, folding her arms in front of her chest. She sounded angry at the same time, smiling. Her actions could make anyone confused.Amelia walked slowly towards her. "Oh my goodness! Your neck. You're the girl. Pardon me for my mistake. I mistook you for a maid." She said, covering her mouth with her hands as though she were surprised.She stretched her hand towards Amelia in a handshake. "I'm Carrie Wills." But before Amelia's hand could touch hers, she moved her hand away, making Amelia's hand hang in the air."I didn't expect this. You don't look like anything I imagined." She said, looking at Amelia from her head to her toes. "That was why I mistook you as a maid. You're a maid. There is nothing to apologize for." Carrie laughed.Amelia was so angry. She was shocked when she saw a lady in the living room as she walked down the stairs. She
He paced up and down in the lobby as the doctor attended to her. Not too long later, the door opened, and a doctor came out of the room.He hurried towards the doctor. "How is she, and the baby?""They're both fine. Your wife inhaled a lot of smoke, but she's fine. Please monitor her more. She's in a delicate state." The doctor smiled.Aiden did not say anything. He felt relieved that she and the baby were okay. Ever since he learnt about the baby, he had changed. He wasn't sure he was ready to be a father, but he didn't want to abandon his unborn child. For the past week, he would create time to accompany Carrie to the hospital. He was ready to do any tests and attend any lesson. He's cold, and he's angry at Carrie, but he wouldn't abandon his child.He wanted to correct the doctor that she wasn't his wife, but he let go of it. What would he say she is to him? Girlfriend? Mate?"Can I go in?" He asked, to which the doctor nodded.He opened the door and walked into the room. She was m
It was her mid-exam week. She focused on reading and writing her exams well. Seeing the magazine with Aiden finally got her to sort out her thoughts. She wouldn't be selfish to separate and destroy someone's family. He will soon be a father, and it's only right that she keeps her distance. She had been planning to move out immediately after she sorts the breaking of the mate bond between them. She had finished her exams, and a few days later, it was Christmas. She didn't even have plans for how to celebrate it. Aiden was right. It was for humans. She sat in her room all day on Christmas Eve. Vera called her on Christmas Day for ice skating. She wanted to reject the offer, but she felt it was too much for her to say. She couldn't reject the Luna. She also felt she would feel okay if she left the house.There were a lot of people in the skating field, but despite that, it was fun. Vera was grazing the floor while Amelia kept trying to balance herself, but she kept falling.Vera made
He waited for her to say something, but nothing was coming out of her, not even a movement. He continued. "She came back around three weeks ago. And..." he found it hard to say. "She's pregnant."The towel she was holding around her body fell to the ground. As if the revelation of her coming back wasn't enough, she's pregnant.He had met her three weeks ago, and she's now pregnant. He had been distant. Is it because of her? Because he had seen and reunited with his first mate."You... you're going to be a father?" She asked.He nodded. "It's complicated... She's still my mate." Hearing this, she couldn't hide her tears anymore. It felt like her heart ripped into pieces. He said she was his mate. What about her? Tears ran out of her eyes. She tried to wipe it off, but it didn't stop. The girl who had left him was back. She didn't know about her, but she heard rumours. His first mate. And now soon-to-be mother of his child. She was back to take her place. She was just a substitute. Th
He couldn't breathe, couldn't think. All he could do was sit there with his eyes closed, surrounded by the suffocating silence of the water.He was confused and frustrated. It was a Friday, and he was supposed to be at work, but he had to take a break, especially after what he heard last night.He was trying to solve the matter of the two fated mates at hand when another came in. He wasn't even sure he was ready to be a father, especially after the issue with Carrie. She left him without a word, and he was still angry about that.Speaking of Amelia. She's also his mate, and even though he didn't want to understand how that was possible, a part of him didn't want to let her go. He wasn't sure of his feelings, but he knew he was attracted to her.He was still underwater when he suddenly heard a loud sound. Someone had entered the pool. He swam up to the surface, angry someone had the guts to enter his special pool. Just when he was about to get to the surface, he noticed the person was
"Alpha, Ms. Carrie is here to see you," Eric announced as he entered the room. He wouldn't have come to inform him, but since she works for the investee company, he had no choice.Aiden looked up at him. "Let her in." There was no reason to avoid her, especially after what had happened the night before."Yes, sir," Eric replied before leaving the room. After some minutes, a knock came from the door. He asked the person to come in, and she walked in. She wore a V-line neckline red dress that stopped on her thighs. "Good morning," she said with a smile, walking towards his chair. "Sit down." He said with no emotion, but Carrie still kept smiling. She sat in her chair opposite him. "How are you doing?" She asked. "What do you want? Did Mr. Bates send you here?" Aiden asked, but to his surprise, Carrie burst out into laughter. She flipped her hair to the back and asked. "Do I look like I'm here for business? I came here as Carrie, not Miss Carrie.""Then I'm busy. I don't have any time
"Who comes to a training facility this early morning?" Liam asked, looking around the empty room. He didn't get any reply from the guy, who was already sweating a lot because he had been hitting the punching bag for over an hour.Aiden suddenly called him to come, and he knew something was bothering him only for him to get there and be treated as if he was invisible. He asked him if he would box with him, but he declined. He left the hospital to join him, and he would go back to the hospital so he couldn't afford to destroy his clothes. Aiden, on the other hand, was wearing a shirt and suit pants, but still, he was in the ring boxing like he was training for a fight. To think he didn't even have a bath and was still in his last night's wear. Finally, he stopped. He removed his boxing gloves and left the ring. Liam handed him a bottle of water as he took a seat beside him.He also took it and drank it until he almost emptied the bottle. "Do you feel okay now?" Liam asked, but Aiden
The next morning, they didn't see or meet each other, not to mention eat breakfast. He went to work as usual and did his normal routine, even though he still couldn't get the thoughts of having two mates out of his mind. He didn't understand why Carrie would just come back after a few months and still be his mate. He never rejected their bond, but he never thought the bond might still be there when he had already marked Amelia. He didn't know what he could do even though he and Amelia had planned to break the bond. He was uneasy with the thought of it. And even if he breaks the bond with Amelia, he can't act like things are fine with Carrie.He stopped working when Eric came to inform him it was time to leave for the party. Work had ended hours ago, but he stayed back in the company to attend the party, and he was uncomfortable going home.The party was held at a big hotel in the city. He walked into the large room filled with different people, dressed in different classy suits and
