His Maid

After one month

Nyra woke up with a start. Even after one month, the dreams of what happened that night plagued her mind. She did not remember much about that night. But every night she dreamed about his husky voice and she immediately gets turned on.

Nyra is not understanding her reaction towards that man. After that night, she thought she would have nightmares. But exactly the opposite thing is happening with her. Now, she is dreaming about her tormentor's voice and this time, she is enjoying her time with him. 

Nyra left that small town upon her grandmother's insistence. Once her grandmother find out what happened to her, she was adamant about her decision to send Nyra back to her father and stepmother.

"Don't tell anyone about this Nyra. Never let anyone find out about that tattoo. They will kill you" her grandmother's warning ring loud and clear in Nyra's mind.

Nyra unconsciously reached to rub her new tattoo. After that night, an orange dragon tattoo appeared on her lower back. It's the reminder that proves about what happened that night.

"Nyra" she heard an annoying voice of her stepmother calling her.

"Coming" Nyra called back.

She quickly did her morning routine and rushed downstairs from the attic, which she was using as her room.

"You lazy bitch, hurry up. It's already 6 in the morning. You need to prepare breakfast for Mr Hamilton" her stepmother Barbara yelled at Nyra.

Nyra clenched her fists and nodded her head like the meek Little girl she is acting to be. 

Nyra is 22 in human years and finished her degree in software development. She wanted to find a job and move away from here. But her grandmother insisted that this is the safest place for her to live for a while. 

Nyra decided to heed her grandmother's warning and stay with her father and stepmother for the time being.

"Act timid and meek Nyra. Don't bring attention to yourself. There's so much on the line for you to lose here. Don't let them know what you can do. Hide your abilities. Act like a typical human girl. After a while, your dragon mate will forget about you. Then you can move on with your life like you planned" her grandmother's words are still fresh in her head.

"My mother is talking to you. Are you dumb as well?" one of her stepsisters Cindy sneered at her.

Cindy glared at Nyra, who is fair with unblemished skin. Her almond eyes look innocent and mysterious. Her bow-shaped pink lips are soft and full. Her straight nose and high cheekbones give her oval face added beauty. 

Cindy and her elder sister Mindy envy Nyra for her good looks and hourglass figure. She is beyond beautiful without even trying.

"I will prepare Mr Hamilton's breakfast now Mother" Nyra controlled the urge to snap at them and answered like an innocent dove.

"Spineless bitch" Nyra's step-sister Mindy muttered.

Cindy and Mindy are Barbara's daughters. Mindy is 2 years younger to Nyra and Cindy 3 years younger. They share the same father.

Nyra's father Douglas Adams is a werewolf shifter. Even Barbara Cindy and Mindy are wolf shifters. 

Unfortunately, Nyra didn't inherit her father's genes. She was blessed with her mother's good looks and genes.

Douglas works as a Butler in the Hamilton household. 

Nyra immediately went to work and started cooking breakfast for Mr Hamilton.

"Sorry I am late" another human maid Emma said breathlessly.

Nyra's father lives in a two-story house behind the big Hamilton mansion. Barbara and her daughters work as the live-in maids in the mansion. Since the moment Nyra came here, they are taking advantage of her and making her do all their work.

"It's ok Emma, get to work before Barbara comes here" Nyra smiled at Emma.

Emma lives a few miles away from the Mansion. She leaves in the evening and comes back in the morning. Emma lost her father and mother in an accident. She has a younger sister to take care of. Emma is quirky and fun to work with.

"I don't want to hear her yelling so early in the morning " Emma shudder with mock fear.

Nyra giggles at Emma's comment and they work on the elaborate breakfast meant for Mr Hamilton.

In the Hamilton mansion where Nyra is now working as a maid, Drake is standing shirtless in the huge balcony which opens from his room overlooking the nicely trimmed back yard followed by the vast thick forest extending for miles.

Drake woke from his drug-induced haze the next day evening. The girl or now his mate is nowhere to be found. He searched every inch of the forest for two days, but she just disappeared Into thin air taking her jasmine scent along with her.

Her softly spoken words of concern still fresh in his mind. He doesn't remember much about that night, but just the thought of her voice is enough to make him turned on.

Now he is having wet dreams with her voice attached to a faceless shapely body. One thing he remember clearly is her soft curves. Her soft bow-shaped pink lips. He kissed those lips for hours even after she fainted of tiredness.

Her face is hazy and not clear at all. He is searching for her for one month, but still there is no sign of her anywhere.

"Who are you? What were you doing in that forest at that hour of the night alone? Why did you offer to help a stranger in pain? Look where your kindness leads to? People are scared with just a word out of my mouth. Why were you not scared, even when I warned you to run away?" Drake said to no one in particular.

Drake looked at the tattoo of two wings in the shape of a human heart permanently etched on the left side of his chest, just above his heart.

"I never heard about this Drake. If a dragon has a human Mate, they never leave a tattoo. Are you sure that your mate is a human? Only creatures of equal power will be able to leave a mark like this. If she left her mark on your heart, that means you liked that girl before the drug took over. If she is a human, then she would have died with the way you lost control over yourself" his friend Mason's words ring in his head.

Drake is getting frustrated. Everything related to her is a mystery.

"Sir, coffee" the familiar Jasmine scent assaulted his nostrils. He looked down his balcony and looked at the fully bloomed Jasmine flowers in the flower garden.

The maid's voice is a little similar to that of his mates. His mate sounded strong and confident. But this maid is timid and weak.

Are you comparing your mate with a maid drake? He scolded himself.

Drake turned and accepted the coffee brought by the maid, without sparing her a single glance.

He sipped the coffee and close his eyes with pleasure. This is another thing that changed in the past one month. Douglas hired a new maid, who can cook like an experienced chef.

Drake usually does not enjoy anyone's cooking. But he couldn't resist anything cooked by this particular maid. He enjoys her coffee too much. It will make him feel refreshed and alert.

Nyra slipped away after she handed over the coffee to Mr Hamilton. Cindy, Mindy, and ever her stepmother are too scared to approach Mr Hamilton.

'Scary' that's the word Cindy used to describe him. But Nyra didn't mind serving him. He usually eats in the dining room. She only serves him coffee in his room.

Nyra quickly left his room and stepped into the elevator after pushing the cart inside. She pressed the ground floor button and waited to be taken down.

Nyra looked at her maid uniform in the mirror-like a wall in front of her. A white shirt and a knee-length black skirt describe her outfit.

Nyra unlike others, doesn't have to spend hours in the beauty salon. She doesn't have that much time and money to spare as well. She was gifted with shapely eyebrows and her body does not have extra hair on her hands and legs. Her skin is smooth and porcelain.

She got back to the kitchen to arrange the cooked breakfast dishes on the dining table. The Hamilton mansion is huge with 10 bedrooms. Each bedroom has it's own huge balcony to facilitate dragons to shift and fly.

The mansion has a game room, theater room, Mr Hamilton's office, a huge swimming pool in the back, and an open terrace.

The kitchen in the mansion is a chef's dream come true. It is equipped with everything a chef could ask for. Nyra always like cooking. It calms her down. 

She placed all the dishes on the table neatly with the help of Emma and waited for Mr Hamilton to come down and have his breakfast.
