VANESSA

BLACK DEVIL PACK.

*TWO DAYS LATER*

It's been two days since I made my escape to the black devil pack. I heard that the alpha of the pack is rumored to be ruthless and would kill any intruders, I was skeptical that he would even let me live but rather he gave me the role of a maid instead.

My life just can't get any worse. I was a maid back in the Silver wolves pack and now I'm still a maid here, it's like I have people chasing me or something. My life was so pathetic that I felt like writing about it.

I stared down at the maid's attire that I was given. It was certainly better than the old one which was very short and showed a lot of cleavage. This one was not as short and covered a bit more.

I had no one to help me with what I'm supposed to do and rather I would have to figure everything out all by myself. I made my way to the bathroom, taking my bath and making my way to the kitchen.

I saw a lot of maids lined up in one direction at the dining area. It seemed like I was late, no one gave me any instructions and so I overslept. It wasn't my fault, I just haven't slept in a soft and comfortable bed in a long time.

I tried making myself not noticed, scurrying through a corner to join them but it was like I had plotted my own downfall, I knocked on a vase causing it to crash to the ground.

Everyone's attention was now on me and my cheeks flushed out of embarrassment. The lady who I guessed was the boss didn't look so happy about it.

“Umm…I'm sorry. I didn't break it on purpose,” I apologized, bending to pick it up.

It's my first day of work but yet I was screwing things up as usual. It's only a matter of time before they behead me too.

“Do you know how much that costs? It's an antique so I can gladly tell you that even a decade worth of your salary wouldn't be enough to buy it.”

All the other things she said flew out the window as only one thing caught my attention. “I'm getting paid?” I gasped.

“Is that all you care about? You just broke a rare antique vase but all you're concerned about is money?” She scolded me.

I got a grasp of myself, realizing that it wasn't the best impression and I didn't act so well like I should but I just didn't get paid in the last one because they presumed that giving me shelter and food was already enough.

“Don't you have anything to say?” She snapped me out of my thoughts.

Waves of guilt wasted through me and I stared down at the ground, fiddling my fingers in the process. “I'm sorry ma'am. I promise that it won't happen again,” I apologized.

“What's your name? I don't think I've seen you here before? Are you new?” She asked.

“I'm Vanessa and yes, I'm new. Today is my first day of work in fact,” I told her.

She looked at me, scanning me closely from head to toe. “It's just your first day here but yet, you're already smashing things but I'd pardon you because it's your first day.”

I thanked her and we were all assigned to different duties. I was cleaning the environment when a girl who looked about my age approached me.

“Hey, new girl,” she called and I turned to face her. “The alpha requested your presence,” she informed me.

My heart skipped a beat after hearing that. Being with him only caused me bad anxiety and I'm already better at working here.

“Where is he?” I managed to ask..

“He's in his study,” she told me.

She directed me and after thanking her, I made my way to the study. I knocked on the door and a hoarse but sexy voice followed in response.

I slowly opened the door and walked close to his desk. “Good …Good morning Alpha,” I greeted.

He didn't look up at me, he just fixed his attention back on his work. I was waiting for him to say something but he kept quiet, still very focused on his work instead.

I got tired of waiting for him to speak up so she decided to intercede for him instead. “You called for me, Alpha?” I inquired.

He nodded in response and finally looked away from his laptop. “I did some analyses especially over the fact that you're still very much new so I thought of what could be better for you.”

I was confused, hoping that he's not discovered my identity because that would be my biggest nightmare.

“What do you mean?”

“I'm promoting you instead. I don't want you to act like just a maid, instead you're going to be my personal maid and serve me.”

His decision took me aback. I didn't know if I should be happy or not because I knew that many would crave for such an opportunity. But the thing was that I didn't feel comfortable round and wasn't sure if I would be able to keep shut round him.

“Are you sure? I'm fine with being a regular Job. It's not that hard and I've gotten used to it,” I tried convincing him.

“Is that so? You're acting like you've got years of experience or something,” he said.

That caused goose bumps and it made me fear of being exposed. “You don't have to worry about it and I've never worked as a maid before, this is my first. I was just explaining that a normal maid is so easy compared to a personal maid but it's fine, I can do whatever you want.”

He stared at me for a good amount of time before saying, “It's better you think that way because I can assure you that the prison floor isn't the best place to be.”
