The alarm rang at exactly five o'clock in the morning and Julia and I prepared to go to the bathroom to take our bath, until we remembered that we weren't going to have breakfast if we did take our bath.
We were torn between going to the kitchen to work and getting caught for not taking our bath, or going to take out bathe and missing breakfast.
At that moment, both our stomachs growled and we decided to go for breakfast that morning. We wet a rag and cleaned our body with it before changing into the maid's clothes and going to the kitchen.
" Julia, Maya, I need you guys to clean the chef's room before seven this morning, " the head cleaner ordered and we turned to look at her.
" Ma'am, we need to help out in the kitchen, that's where we were assigned to, " I voiced out for the both of us, but got a slap as a reward for it.
" Are you trying to defy my orders? I said
I left the Omega's house without any permission and walked to the house of the higher-ups, going straight to Victor's room as I knew he didn't start work until after breakfast.I knocked on the door and entered inside after being given permission to. He was lying down on the bed, his eyes wide open and I walked to sit on the couch." I'm surprised Serena isn't in your room, " I pointed out." Are you not supposed to be working? Were you given permission to leave when you aren't done working? " He asked, glaring at me." I left without asking for permission. You can report to them if you want to and I'll take my punishment without any complaints, " I responded and he sat up, his eyes never leaving mine." The look in your eyes, I don't like them. You look angry, " he pointed out." Yes, I am very angry and I want to kill someone right now. Funny,
Two weeks had passed and it went easier than expected, at least, I was alive even though I had lost so much weight. Like I demanded, Victor had ordered Sarah to stop the punishment against Julia and I was the only one suffering for it.Beaten five strokes of cane for coming late to work, eating twice a day, punished for every single mistake I made, I managed not to die since I was doing all that because I wanted to survive.I wasn't given dinner again today because Serena complained of dirt where I cleaned. I went to my room and saw that Julia was already there, laying down on her bed and a plate of food was on my bed." Eat that, I managed to steal it from the chefs, " she told me and I picked up the plate and placed it on the table." Why would you do that? What if you got caught? " I scolded and she smiled at me." C'mon, Maya, we did this a lot whe
" I think I might be pregnant, " I admitted in between cries. His eyes widened in hearing what I said and he instantly pulled me inside, closing the door as he engulfed me in a hug.I cried on his shoulders, unsure of what I was going to do if my assumptions were correct. Unsure of how I was going to survive with the pup of an Alpha inside of me" Are you sure about what you're saying? " He asked and I showed him the glowing mark on my shoulder for confirmation, as well as my reddened palms.He let out a shaky breath as he went to sit down on the couch, using his palms to rub his face." And you want to run away? " He asked again and I went closer to him, nodding my head. There was no way I was going to let my child be born in the kind of suffering Victor was giving me." He wouldn't believe me if I told him he was the father of the baby. There is no n
" You're pregnant? " She asked loudly and I put a finger on her lips, indicating for her to be quiet before nodding. " For Alpha Victor's baby? " She asked again, this time in a hushed whisper and I nodded again." Wow! What a sickening plot twist this is, " she commented and I giggled, placing a hand over my mouth. " So, what do you plan on doing? You can never tell him about the baby, " she stated." That's why Gabriel and I are planning to run away from this pack. We're going to his mother's side in Australia, " I informed her and she bit her lower lip." Is that not risky? If the both of you get caught, it will surely not be a good thing. We don't make decisions that affect us, right? But you seem to be doing that lately, " she pointed out." That's because I'm trying to protect the people I love. I can't think of myself right now, staying in this pack with a baby mean
VICTOR BLOODBORNEA knock was heard on the door while Uncle Unkar and I were having a conversation. After a ' come in ' from me, my guard came inside the office, bowing at us." Alpha, we have some unusual movement from Beta Gabriel, " he informed me and I glanced at my Uncle before turning back to him." What unusual movement? " I asked him." I'm not really sure, but he seems to be doing something discreetly. He is being very sly with it and that's what made me suspect something, " he replied and nodded slowly, rolling my tongue inside my cheeks." Look into it, and get back to me if you find anything useful, " I ordered and he bowed again before walking away." What is Gabriel up to? " Uncle Unkar asked and I shrugged, there was no way I was to know about it." I'm going to find out, " I responded.
VICTOR BLOODBORNESerena and I were having wine in the dining room, talking and reminiscing over the past when a guard ran inside the room panting heavily." What the hell is wrong with you?" Serena scolded, eyeing him with contempt and he bowed in apology." I'm sorry, Alpha, Gamma, but I have urgent news for the both of you, " he said and Serena glanced at me before turning back to look at him, motioning for him to speak up." Beta Gabriel has been confirmed dead, " he announced and Serena stood up abruptly, her eyes widening in surprise. I raised my head to look at him to see if there was any hint of a lie in his eyes, but there was none. He wouldn't even dare to lie about something like that." How the hell did that happen? He was fine when I saw him this morning, " Serena asked him." He was shot twice in the chest by an arrow
" What did you just say? " He bellowed, but I stood straight, not willing to back off from the fight I had started." You heard me well Victor, I am declaring my intentions. You messed with the wrong person and I am going to prove that to you, " I assured. He pushed me to a wall, pinning my chest with his elbow." How dare you? " He growled at me. " Wife or not, I am your Alpha, you don't get to challenge my authority, ".I wanted to talk, but what came out from my mouth was blood, spilling on his arms. His angry look was taken over by surprise and fear, releasing me instantly. The mark had begun to overpower me and like Gabriel said, I was already losing blood because of the baby." What is this? " He asked, pointing at the blood on his arms." It's none of your business, " I uttered, averting my gaze from him." Nothing? Blood sp
" No, " I informed, but she shook her head. There was no way I would let her put her life at risk after I had managed to secure it for her." I'm not going to let you do this alone, Maya, " she informed me, but I shook my head also." We've talked about this, why are you trying to back off on your word now? "." I said so because I felt you were in safe hands with Gabriel if you left the pack. Now, he's dead, I cannot stay here while you try to endanger your life. We are doing this together, " she insisted, reminding me of Gabriel's death again. My eyes got teary, but I blinked furiously to send the tears back." And I said no, Julia, why can't you listen to me? " I snapped at her, raising my voice slightly." I'm not going to listen to you this time around since you're not listening to me about your revenge. We have been stuck with each other si
Chapter 229MAYAThe next day, Victor woke me up with his hands in my sleep shorts. I moaned and he made quick work of turning me into a quivering mess.He had gotten very good at this. I smiled as he came up and planted a hard kiss on my smiling lips."Come on, we're going on a date. To make up for the last one that was interrupted," he said, hoisting me up.I smirked, liking that he didn't ask this time way more than I was willing to admit. I jumped into the bathroom and I took a long shower. One longer than I expected because I shaved everywhere and everything.It was when I was picking an outfit I remembered I didn't ask him what type of date it was. So settle on cargo pants and a cute crop top that I tied up in the back. It was secure in case I needed to tackle anyone but still very cute.I went down for breakfast, which was eggs, br
Chapter 228MAYAWe set out early the next day. The trip was chill, mostly because I connected to the car's sound system and I was able to play my own music. I had great song choices.But Bella wasn't relaxed. She kept tapping her feet while looking out the window. I would gently point it out and she would stop after apologizing only to start a few minutes later. I gave up after the fourth time. I'd even caught her almost putting her cute purple nails in her mouth once or twice.I didn't know what she was worried about. She was a nice, pretty girl. She had done her hair up in a ponytail and curled it. She was wearing a black t-shirt with cute denim shirts and black Nikes.I immediately came down to stretch my spine when we arrived. But after a full body stretch I noticed that Bella was still sitting stiffly in the car.And Nelson has
MAYAI went back to my room and laid down staring at the ceiling. I hadn't realized that they thought that way about me. I wasn't mad or sad, it was just something I had to accept. I was roused out of my musings when someone knocked."Who is it?" I yelled."It's me, Victor," he replied.A small smile began to spread on my face. "Come in."He pushed the door open and made a beeline for me. He kissed me and then lay down beside me. "Hey.""Hey. Where have you been?" I enquired."I went for a run. Then a quick dip in the stream. Very nice.""That sounds lovely."He must have heard something in my voice because he sat up, then propped his head on his palm and looked at me. "Are you ok?" Victor asked, cocking his head.I almost told him but what would th
MAYABella walked downstairs rubbing her eyes. She stopped in her tracks when she saw us in the kitchen, surprised to see us for some reason, and then straightened."Good morning," she greeted and walked to the fridge, rooting around in itI looked over to Julia to confirm if I was the only one who thought she was almost cold. Julia's brow was furrowed, the expression on her face mirroring what I thought mine would be.Lily cleared her throat. "Excuse me Alpha," she whispered and walked out of the kitchen without looking back. She also thought Bella was being weird."Is something the matter?" I asked."Nope," Bella answered quickly.Now that was definitely a little curt. I wasn't in the mood to walk around the issue so I came out and stated my mind."I think there's something going on and I'm not going to
MAYAI woke up very early the next morning, feeling so sleepy even though I knew that it would be so difficult for me to go back to sleep. I quickly freshened up and went downstairs, going to the kitchen to take a bottle of water." Good morning, Lily, " I greeted her, going to the fridge to grab the bottled water." Good morning, Alpha. You woke up early today, you couldn't sleep? " She asked." I just felt so excited this morning that I couldn't help but wake up early. And what's with the formalities? Do you really have to call me that when we go way back with each other? " I asked and she chuckled." I just felt it would be comfortable for me to call you that since you're my boss, " she answered." Whatever makes you comfortable. How do you like your work? Is it too stressful? Is anyone being rude to you? " I asked but she shook her head." Surprisingly, no. They are all respectful and nice, and I don't regret coming here with you. I have a good and comfortable place to sleep, I ea
CHAPTER TWO HUNDRED AND TWENTY FOUR (224)MAYAAfter I was done talking with Ken and he had agreed to do exactly as I had told him to, I left his room, heading to Julia's.I knew she would be asleep already, but I still felt the need to talk to her that night and not the next day." Maya, what are you doing here? " She asked as she came to open the door, rubbing her sleepy eyes. I entered the room without saying anything, sitting on the sofa." I came to talk to you, " I answered, raising my head to look at her." Tonight? Can't you wait till tomorrow morning? It's pretty late and everyone is fast asleep, so let's just talk tomorrow morning, " she suggested, but I shook my head, not willing to listen to her." I need to talk to you tonight, I might not have the chance to do that tomorrow morning. You should sit down and listen to me, I won't take much of your time, " I promised and she heaved out a sigh before sitting on the bed." Why didn't you tell me? " I asked and she raised a br
MAYAI froze in my seat upon hearing what Ken said. I wasn't expecting that kind of confession from him, especially since I came to his room with the intention of trying to urge him to propose to Julia so that they can get married." That was unexpected, " I blurted out as I didn't know what to say. He opened his eyes slowly, staring at me with a confused expression." You're not angry? " He asked and I shrugged, still speechless." I don't just know how to respond to what you said since I wasn't expecting that kind of confession from you. But you must have a reason for wanting to break up with her, so I can't get angry at you just like that, " I told him." You didn't even ask me why I said that, " he pointed out and I snorted." Of course, I would ask you as I believe that I deserve to know. I was just trying to gather my thoughts in one piece to avoid it shattering again, " I responded and took a deep breath, closing my eyes. Upon opening it back, I clasped my hands together, raisi
MAYAEveryone went silent after hearing my announcement. Happiness filled Carissa's eyes, but Julia was cringing in disgust, staring at me." Hey, why would you even think of pairing Bella with Nelson? They are obviously incompatible, " she pointed out and I felt the need to correct her on that." What makes you think they're incompatible? Have they met each other? Why would you say something like that and try to jinx it? " I scolded." I'm not jinxing anything, Maya, I'm just stating the fact. Bella isn't cool headed, neither is he, " she argued." But they haven't met with each other yet. No one can predict what their feelings would become. Besides, what's wrong with Nelson? He's a cool guy, he is competent and has a lot of potential, " I retorted." But…… " she tried to argue again, but I was quick to stop her." Just because you don't like Nelson doesn't mean he is a bad person, Julia, " I told her." I'm not saying he is a bad person, I was just trying to voice out my opinion on
MAYAWithout wasting any more time, Victor and I began to pack our bags, making preparations to travel back to the Moonfire Pack." Why do you guys have to leave so early? I was glad that I wouldn't be lonely in this big house anymore and you're leaving again? " Nelson whined, pouting and I engulfed him in a hug." That's why I have been urging you to find a woman you want to settle down with. Stop having flings and one night stands anymore, you should get married to avoid being lonely during times like this anymore, " I advised and he instantly pulled away from me." No, thank you, I'm not ready to commit myself to a lady yet, " he admitted and I nodded, handing my bags over to him." Then, die in loneliness, " I spat out before walking out of the house.Victor helped us out our things in the back of the car before entering the dr
