Maids

ALPHA ROWLAND’S POV

“Selena, that’s enough,” I said in a calm tone even though I was fuming inside.

Her mouth kept on moving as if she hadn’t heard me just now. She was talking too fast for me to understand what exactly she was yapping about.

“I said it’s enough!” I yelled. “Damn.”

She stopped talking immediately and stared at me in shock. I hardly exploded in front of her so she wasn’t used to seeing that side of me even though she easily brought it out.

“I just wanted you to know how much I love you. It’s so much that I think I might die without you. I jus-“

“Stop it. That's enough of that.” I cut in.

She froze and gasped at me. Selena had been my mistress for a while now and apart from her mouth and selfishness, she was as perfect as they came.

She walked up to me and slid her hand down my crotch. I got hard immediately from her touch but I had to protest. It wasn’t the right time.

“It’s always the right time.” She said with a sly grin.

Selena was the most seductive creature I’d ever known. Her voice and her words made it a struggle for me to continue with my protest but after a while, she sighed and gave up. I had so much to do that day and starting the day off with rough sex would upset everything I had planned down.

I walked up to the wardrobe and selected a flower Caribbean shirt.

“Where are you off to?” Selena asked from the bed as I made my way to the door.

I sighed. “Around.”

The palace was busy at this time of the day. The maids were attending to their morning rounds while the guards were getting ready to start their shifts. Just then I remembered I needed a new personal maid.

I decided it would make sense if I went around to see how the head maid was doing selecting my maid. It was harder than I expected it would be to locate her quarters but I did after a while. There was a woman there standing in front of the head maid and nodding in response to whatever the head maid was saying.

From behind, I could already see the woman’s sensual curves. Her hips were perfectly shaped with a big ass that looked sexy in the black dress she wore. Her short brown hair had the color of a grizzly bear’s fur.

“Thanks.” She bowed. Her voice was coarse and flawless in its sexiness. “I’ll resume tomorrow then.”

I couldn’t help it. “Why tomorrow?” I asked drawing the attention of both the woman and the head maid.

The head maid shook clumsily as she struggled to rise from her chair and bowed. The woman took her time before bowing.

I felt a sharp pain in my chest as she bowed. Her scent exploded inside my senses and it took control of me completely. The pain I had just felt in my chest was the same pain I had felt when I had killed the slave.

This woman is my mate! I thought in shock.

The moon goddess was giving me another chance to make things right. I smiled at her. For the first time in a long time, I was happy. My new mate was the most sensual woman I had ever seen. She made Serena look like a child in comparison.

“I’m sorry sir. I just got the job as your maid.” She said still bowing.

“How sure are you that I’m the Alpha? I haven’t seen you before so I believe you haven’t seen me either.”

She grinned as she patted her hair away from her face. She had a beautiful smile. It was effortless.

“Correct. But judging by the way she reacted when you walked in, it’s easy to guess you’re the boss.”

I was impressed by how smart she was. She didn’t just sound smart but she was smart.

“I-“

“So this is where you ran off to?” Selena chipped in coming from behind me to put her arms around my waist.

I noticed the change in the woman’s expression but it was gone immediately and replaced with a curt smile. Was that jealousy I had just seen or did I imagine it?

“Who is this?” Selena asked giving the woman a cold look. 

I didn’t have the patience for her fucking attitude and I was about to give her a piece of my mind when the woman spoke.

“My bad. I’m Freya Jones. I’m going to be Alpha Rowland’s new maid.”

Selena gave her a look over and grimaced. “You?”

She nodded. The head maid nodded. I nodded.

“You couldn’t find someone less… less this,” Selena said to the head maid waving a hand at Freya’s body.

The head maid stuttered as she explained that Freya was the only candidate she had interviewed for the day that fit the criteria perfectly. She said she was sure about Freya and vouched for the girl as if she had somehow been able to win her full confidence in just the short time they had done the interview.

Freya bowed and thanked the head maid before turning to leave. Despite Selena being there with us, I couldn’t help myself as I turned to watch her leave. She was a wonder to behold. My mate! I thought with excitement.

A thought came to me and before Selena had the opportunity to oppose, I ran after Freya and stopped her halfway. It felt weird running after a woman just to stop her. I’d never done something like that in my life.

“I wanted to ask you a question,” I said choosing my words carefully.

She said I could go ahead. I took a breath before saying, “Did you feel it too?”

“Feel what?” She asked with a confused expression on her face.”

I couldn’t tell if she was being serious or just playing dumb but I decided there was no harm in pushing further.

“The pain, right here,” I said touching my chest just above my heart.

"The bond," I added.

She squinted at me as if she was trying to understand what I was saying and shook her head. “No. No, I didn’t.”

“Oh,” I said a little surprised. “It’s fine then. See you tomorrow.”

She said she would with a smile and with that she left. I stood there staring at her till she was gone completely.
