Secretly In Love With The Alpha

DIANE'S POV

The incessant ringing of my alarm clock woke me up from sleep. I stirred for some seconds before opening my eyes. I reached out to the clock and turned off the alarm. I glanced at the time. It was 5:30 a.m.

It was a couple of months after my altercation with Luna Morgana and the incident was still fresh in my memory. I remember the incident virtually every day but today, I vowed not to think of it cos it was my birthday. 

I turned to look at Melody, she was sprawled on the bed and sleeping peacefully.

I felt excited because today, I will be turning eighteen and I'm looking forward to my first shift as a werewolf as well as finding my mate.

As I gazed at my sister for some seconds, a faint smile spread across my face.

Melody and I are orphans and she is the only blood relative I have since our parents were killed in a fierce battle that involved my parents' pack and the Starry Night pack which is my current pack whose leader is Alpha Denzel.

I love my sister so much and she is my best friend and confidant. I tell Melody virtually everything that concerns my life and Melody does the same. We love each other dearly and are rarely seen apart except when we are engaged in the house chores or one of us is sent on an errand.

Most people fondly call us, 'The Inseparable Sisters,' and ironically, we love it.

I averted my gaze from my sister and stared at the ceiling. I closed my eyes and recalled how I came to live in Alpha Denzel's mansion.

I was twelve years old and Melody was nine years old when our parents were killed during the war between Starry Night pack and my parents' pack.

After learning that my parents were killed in the war and my sister and I were helpless cos we had nobody to take care of us, Alpha Denzel took pity on us and brought us to his pack.

Alpha Denzel put my sister and me under the care of Naomi, his housekeeper who was a middle-aged woman.

Initially, the Alpha didn't want Melody and me to work but I implored him to allow me to work as a maid because I was always bored and because I wanted to be paid a salary even though Alpha Denzel provided my sister and me the basic needs of a girl and buys us anything we want.

After constant begging, Alpha Denzel finally agreed and I started working as a maid at the age of fourteen. When my sister turned fourteen, she also started working as a maid. Although, initially, I didn't want Melody to work as a maid, she vehemently refused and I had to let her. 

I was happily working for Alpha Denzel because he was very kind to me and my sister, and our salaries were sufficient to take care of our basic needs.

Living with Alpha Denzel in the mansion was blissful and I couldn't be happier until he chose Luna Morgana as his mate and my joy abruptly came to an end.

For reasons I couldn't fathom, Luna Morgana despises me and Melody especially me.

Luna Morgana berates us at any given time and hits Melody and me at will.

She often prevents Alpha Denzel from seeing us except when necessary. She also tries to prevent him from buying things for us but fortunately, the Alpha doesn't listen to her.

Alpha Denzel chose Morgana as his Luna shortly after I turned sixteen but before then, they were courting and she used to visit the house occasionally. It is two years since Alpha Denzel chose Luna Morgana as his mate.

This morning, although I was excited because it was my birthday, I must admit that I was disturbed and have been having sleepless nights since I turned seventeen. The reason I was disturbed was because I was in love with Alpha Denzel.     

My mind drifted to when Alpha Denzel brought Melody and me to his house. I initially hated him because it was his pack members who killed my parents.

Starry Night pack which was Alpha Denzel's pack was one of the most powerful packs in the State of Queensland, Australia, and the Alpha was greatly reverenced because he was strong and he had highly skilled warriors.

It was known across the country of Australia that no pack had ever defeated the Starry Night Pack. According to what I heard, Starry Night Pack has always emerged victorious in every battle with rival packs over the years, so, my parents' pack was no match for them.

During the war, Alpha Denzel and his warriors easily defeated my parents' pack and so many people in my parents' pack were killed including my parents.

After the Alpha brought Melody and me to his pack and we started living in his mansion, the hatred I felt for him gradually started fading away because of his benevolence and kindness towards me and my sister.

What finally made the hatred I felt for him completely disappear was when I learned that it was my parents' pack that was at fault in the dispute between them. I got this information from some of the pack members.

The pack members also told me that Alpha Denzel had warned my parents' pack several times concerning the dispute between them but it all fell on deaf ears which got the Alpha angry and he declared war against them.

After learning the truth, my perception of the alpha changed and I became fond of him. Over the years, he doted on my sister and me and I saw him as an elder brother. It took a while before I fell in love with him.

I must say that over the years since I started living with the Alpha, I have had awesome and memorable birthdays because Alpha Denzel took it upon himself to make me and my sister happy by taking us out to fancy restaurants, beaches, and parks. He also takes us shopping and buys us expensive clothes and accessories.

It is notable to mention that it was not only on my birthdays Alpha Denzel took me and my sister shopping. He occasionally takes us shopping on weekends.

I started developing romantic feelings for Alpha Denzel when I turned seventeen. The philia love I had for him gradually became an eros love and now I'm sexually attracted to him and have been craving for him.

If only he could kiss me, I guess I would be a little satisfied but I know him to be a disciplined man and would never engage in any sexual act with me because of our relationship and because I was underaged. If at all he will, it will be when I turn eighteen, so, I have waited desperately to this day.

Although initially, I was just lusting for him, now I'm deeply in love with him.

I wish I could tell him how I feel about him but I couldn't bring myself to tell him. Perhaps if I knew he felt the same way about me, I would have told him.

But the big question is, how does a maid tell her boss that she is in love with him? That would be so absurd!

Aside from that, there is a huge dichotomy between us. He is an Alpha and I'm an Omega. He is a billionaire and I'm a poor girl. He is my boss and I'm his maid. He is my benefactor and I'm solely dependent on him.

I must say that I'm deeply troubled because I want Alpha Denzel to know how I feel about him but I don't know how to let him know.

Even if I dare to tell him, I can't imagine how embarrassed I will be if he turns me down. The worst part is that it could also destroy our beautiful relationship.

Although I'm an outspoken girl, considering the huge difference in our status and class, I have decided to keep my feelings to myself until I'm sure he loves me. But the big question is, will he ever love me?

My sister used to be the only one that gave me joy until I fell in love with Alpha Denzel who has taken a huge part of my heart.

Since I fell in love with him, anytime I see him, my heart races and it always seems as if a thousand butterflies are fluttering in my tummy.

Melody stirred in her sleep and I turned to look at her. I gazed at her innocent-looking face and a faint smile spread across my face.

The only person who knows I'm in love with Alpha Denzel is Melody.

Initially, I didn't want to tell her but I had to when she noticed that I was always feeling moody after I turned seventeen and she coaxed me to tell her what was troubling me.

Although I don't know how Alpha Denzel feels about me, one thing I'm sure about is that he is fond of me which everyone knows and perhaps that is why Luna Morgana despises me.

On second thought, could it be that the Alpha sees me as his younger sister or his adopted child? I hope not cos I find it dreadful. With all the willpower I could muster, I banished the thought.

I have to believe that he sees me as a desirable lady and not as a child or his sister. Even if he doesn't have romantic feelings for me now, hopefully, he will someday and perhaps even fall in love with me.

I believe we would make a perfect match. The age difference is not so much. He is thirty years old and I turned eighteen today making him twelve years older than me.

I think Alpha Denzel likes me enough to fall in love with me which is my greatest dream. However, the biggest obstacle on my path is Luna Morgana.

I know it is wrong to take another female's mate but I can't help myself. Aside from being in love with Alpha Denzel, I craved to make love to him and I have vowed that I will give my virginity to no man but him.

The big question is, even if Alpha Denzel falls in love with me, will he ever be mine or we would just remain secret lovers for the rest of our lives?

I don't want to be his secret lover cos I know it is wrong. What I want is for him to be mine. Unfortunately, I guess he can never be mine because of Luna Morgana except he rejects her which I strongly doubt he will.

Hopefully, if I meet my mate, I might fall in love with him and fall out of love with Alpha Denzel. However, my intuition tells me that I will always love him.

Oh gosh, why am I even bothering myself about this on my birthday? I'm getting myself worked up unnecessarily.

I should be thinking of the fun I will have today because I know that Alpha Denzel will take me and my sister out as he always does on my birthdays.

I'm looking forward to the various places he will take us to and generally looking forward to the fun we will have today.

Aside from the fun I hope to have today, I'm looking forward to meeting my mate and experiencing my first shift.

I had thought I would shift as soon as the clock struck twelve last night as it happens most times with werewolves.

However, a werewolf can still shift any time of the day he or she turns eighteen, so, I was optimistic I would shift before the end of the day.

Another thing Alpha Denzel does on my birthdays is that he usually gives my sister and me a day off from work, so, we will not be working today.

Above everything, I'm glad that Luna Morgana traveled to see her sister who lives in Bowen and the Alpha told me she won't be back till next week.

Despite the day looking promising, I had a hunch that something significant would happen today which I hope will be good considering that it's my birthday.

However, I could feel a sense of foreboding and I wondered why I felt so.
