His mistress

I staggered backward while still shuddering my head. Now I understand why they were mentioning my name and that of Alpha Damon a few hours ago.

The sudden deafening silence in the room created a sense of foreboding in me.

Alpha Damon used to be a sweet, loving and someone who cares deeply for his subjects but everything changed three years ago when he lost his mate, the Luna.

He became deeply cold-hearted and heartless and will never forgive anyone for making a simple mistake.

No one dares to say anything bad about him without having to face the impacts. He kills at his will, he doesn't care about anyone else but himself.

The thought of working under someone like that brought nothing but fear into me.

Alpha Damon is someone who takes pleasure in hurting others. He is unfeeling, unemotional, callous and cruel. I feel like I would go through hell there than here.

Even with everything my uncle and his family are making me go through, it will be better than being an underdog to Alpha Damon.

"I don't want to go there Uncle David, please don't let him take me away from here" I pleaded.

The tears I had been trying to hold in began falling on my cheeks on their own accord. I am always never able to help myself because I am powerless and weak.

"Are you insane? Do you expect me to say no to Alpha Damon?" my uncle scoffed while throwing blades at me.

"Get ready to leave my house, I did my part by raising an omega who is as worthless as you" he uttered with a tone of finality.

My uncle doesn't see me as his niece but an omega and he has treated me as one till today.

Alpha Damon wouldn't just stand up to ask me to be his maid when he had never met me before. No one needed to tell me that I had been sold out!

There are so many maids in Alpha Damon's tower he can easily choose a personal maid from, why will he want me?

I am no longer wanted in the family and this is the only way they can discard me by throwing me into the pit of hell.

I know no one here inclines toward me but not to this magnitude.

"This is the only way you can pay us back for raising you. You do not have a choice anyway, we have already made it for you" Lucia chipped in.

After a glimpse at me, my uncle stood up and left. "I feel a lot better now that you are leaving, I am not sure you will be able to survive it for a day" Karen bellowed.

For the first time, Karen said something and she was right. I wouldn't outlive it in Alpha Damon's tower.

"I feel sorry for you, my dear cousin. I will possibly hear the news of your death by next week" she laughed after voicing that to me.

Karen picked up her book and disappeared into her room.

I have never competed with her, she is the most loved and the most beautiful one compared to me so why does she hate me so much?

"Save your tears, you will need it when you get there" Lucia snorted, she hit my shoulder and also left.

My legs suddenly became feeble, I squatted on the floor with all my body ceasing to function as it kept shaking in fear.

I broke into tears, they all left me to face this dreadful situation alone by myself. I couldn't think straight, I was lost in trepidation while also trying hard to accept my new fate.

The only thing my wolf could do was to snarl furiously. This is the best time to let her out but where can we go? We can't even go outside.

I wanted to run with no destination in mind if it could help me clear my mind.

The fact that I haven't had a good run in both my wolf and human form contributes to why I am weak.

I stayed in that position for thirty minutes, my clothes were already soaked in my tears. My uncle will never change his mind even if I cry a river.

The best thing I can do for myself right now is to accept that I am going to be a personal maid to the Alpha and pray that he won't hurt or try to kill me.

**********

Waking up the next morning, I felt like there was no soul left in my body. My hair was a mess and my face was swollen from crying throughout the night.

Although I will be leaving here today, I was woken up to clean the house, cook and do the dishes like every other day.

There was nothing for me to pack except my few worn-out clothes.

Since I will most likely be given uniforms, I won't be needing some of them that are too old to be worn.

I looked around my room with a faint smile on my face. There is a high chance that I will never come here again.

It's either I stay as Alpha Damon's maid for a long time or I get exterminated by him.

"Why are you still standing here? Alpha Damon is here!" my uncle's voice echoed in my ears. For a few seconds, the blood in my body dried.

I thought they were going to take me to him, why is he here by himself?

Uncle David held my hand and dragged me out of the room. The pace of my heartbeat increased with each step I took toward him until I was right in front of the Alpha of the Sea Moon Pack.

My head was down the whole time, I couldn't look up at him, no one in the room could.

I clasped my shaky hands together, noticeably showing that I was scared, anxious and nervous. It was obvious!

"Here she is Alpha, I am sorry to have kept you waiting" Uncle David apologized. I knew he was also scared.

Even Lucia and Karen were on their feet without saying anything. There was an unnerving silence in the room after my uncle's statement.

I could feel a pair of eyes ransacking my body, those eyes belonged to Alpha Damon. He cleared his throat and crossed his legs.

"Are you sure she's your maid?" his domineering voice echoed in the living room. My head swung towards my uncle while holding my dress tightly.

What was I thinking? That I would have been introduced as his niece?

I felt hurt, angry and frustrated.

"Yes... Alpha, you can have her" my uncle assured me. I gritted my teeth together to stop my tears from pouring down and to prevent my wolf from taking over my mind.

Alpha Damon stood up from the chair, he suddenly held my arm and drew me closer to himself, raising my chin to look at him.

I wanted anything but that at that moment, an unsettling feeling in me made my eyes open in fright.

I was wholly taken aback after meeting his gaze. He is the most beautiful male I have ever seen.

He has a sharp jawline, muscular physique, attractive blue eyes, broad shoulders, and a small pink lips with a pointed nose to complement his spotless face and skin.

His face was cold and devoid of a single smile but that made him more attractive.

Alpha Damon is the definition of charming.

I lowered my gaze upon realizing that I had been staring too much, he could kill me this instant for trespassing.

"I like her" he muttered and let me out of his grip. I created enough space between us immediately he let go of me.

Karen glared enviously at me, she walked up to me and pushed me behind her.

"She's just a maid Alpha, I will gladly be more of service to you as your personal maid" Karen probed.

I and her parents stared at her in bewilderment.

Why would she want to be Alpha Damon's maid all of a sudden? Was it because he said he likes me? Or because she sees that he is devilishly handsome?

Alpha Damon examined her, he trailed his eyes on her body and growled in disapproval.

"Do not ever make stupid suggestions for me again, I won't spare you the next time it happens" he disclosed icily. His voice sounded as cold as his face.

He pushed Karen away, his eyes metamorphosing into dark blue to show how angry he was.

His attitude made Karen's anger towards me fuel up but she couldn't react at that moment unless she was praying earnestly to die by Alpha Damon's hands.

Alpha Damon stopped in front of my uncle, he held him by his collar and slammed him against the wall.

My hand flew to my mouth in shock, the angry look on his face was enough to make me shiver. "You dare you lie to me?" he got hold of the glass cup on the table and threw it on the wall.

Pieces of the glass pierced into my uncle's forehead and his arm. Alpha Damon glanced at me and laughed sinisterly .

"A maid? I know she's your sister's daughter and you lied to me to get rid of her" he articulated.

My uncle's eyes were almost bulging out of its socket, absolutely terror-stricken. Alpha Damon kicked him to the floor before letting him go.

"For lying to me, I am going to punish you in the most horrific way you can ever think of, await my judgment" he purred then walked up to me.

Alpha Damon grabbed my hand once again and took me out of the house. I gritted my teeth to numb the pain in my wrist from how tightly he was grabbing me.

I thought my heart would split into two before he let go of my wrist. After a long walk away from the house, he stopped, finally releasing my hurting wrist.

He could tell I was scared to death, it was so obvious that I was.

"I do not give this opportunity to anyone but I am going to make a proposition to you" he announced while staring at me with an expression I couldn't explain.

My lips parted and closed back as I found it difficult to form words. I wanted to speak but couldn't.

"Say something" he whispered.

"..." I opened my shaky mouth to speak but nothing came out of it.

I watched as he moved closer to me, closed his eyes and sniffed my scent. My heart palpitated as I saw him gulp down nothing.

With him a few inches from me, he raised my chin, making sure that I was staring right back at him.

"I love your scent" he confessed.

His gruff and domineering voice echoed in my ears like a lullaby that made my knees weak.

"Let's strike a deal Olivia" he paused and lightly ran his hand through my hair.

"What do you say about becoming my mistress? In return, I will take you away from your misery" Alpha Damon arbitrated.
