Chapter 4
SIA
I followed him into his office which is huge. It's even bigger than my new bedroom. It's well furnished and it looks more like the president's office. Well he's a king right?. What was I expecting?.
He sat down on his chair and fixed his gaze on me. That gaze is making me very uncomfortable because I can't look at him.
"You have a lot of work to do and you came late on your first day. You were not qualified at all yet I let it slide and employed you. You're going to make me regret my decision right?." He said harshly.
I shook in head, "No Sir, I am very sorry. We got stuck in traffic. It won't happen again."
Though I wasn't late, I have no choice than to apologize. It's not even my fault. I came at the time his driver brought me, and I was still early.
"You were supposed to start learning things from Amanda before work begins. I'm giving you an hour to learn things from her and get back here for work. Leave."
I walked out of the office and met his secretary, Amanda like he said. She's not as grumpy as he is and she thought me everything I need to know.
Then I was given a huge pile of files to work on. This can take me a whole week if I was human. I signed up for this anyway. I used my speed abilities to work fast on it. It drained my strength though, I got myself an energy drink.
Just when I thought today's job is done, he called me to his office.
"I have an errand for you. You are going to take this to the my pack. To my father's house, and give it to my mother. You have to be back before the day ends. The driver will take you there." He said and handed a parcel to me.
"Sir, how far is the place?." I asked curious.
"As far as your home. Leave."
I walked out of the company and met with the driver. He started the car and a lot of thoughts crossed through my head. Now that I've just started working, he's already sending me to his pack. What if my family finds out and comes after me?. I have no power now and I wanted to move forward before getting caught.
My luck is just great. After two hours of driving, he suddenly drove through a town. I mean this is where they all reside, the White Moon pack. He entered one of the biggest mansions and stopped in front of it.
"We're here." He said.
I quickly got down with the parcel, the place is swimming with werewolves. All of them are superior to me, there's no one like me here. I looked away and went into the house.
"Stop right there? Who are you?." A harsh voice asked.
I stopped walking, I waited for the scent to get nearer. An alpha. The person got behind me inspecting me, I didn't move. From the look of things and the scent, it's a male.
"Turn around woman." He said.
I turned around to look at him, he looks exactly like my boss. Isn't this... Oh my goodness. He's good looking but his brother looks cooler.
"I'm sure you know who I am. Now answer my question, who are you?." He asked again.
I gulped a bit nervous but I summoned my courage.
"I am Anastasia Cobbens, the new personal assistant to Alpha Kevin." I replied with confidence.
He smirked, "He hates omegas. He accept one as his assistant?. More like personal slave to me."
His words are harsh, truth be told they hurt too. He thinks I'm not worth being a personal assistant? Rather he thinks I'm his slave?.
I've always heard about Alpha Robin. He's a very heartless and ruthless bastard. He doesn't care how many people he hurts and he likes oppressing people like me. In other words, he's the trouble maker in the family.
"Slaves don't get a very large room and large salary to go with. Slaves don't work in an office, slaves don't keep top secrets for their masters. Slaves doesn't go to important meetings with their boss." I replied.
I don't know where that courage cams from but he doesn't seem to like it.
"You can talk back at me now because you work for my brother?." He mocked.
I tried walking away to look for someone who would take me to their mother.
"Stop there." He said harshly and dragged me back.
His eyes are red and he's gritted teeth are scaring the life out of me. What did I do wrong now?.
"Let me go. I haven't done anything to you." I cried.
His claws are going deep into my skin and hurting me. He is indeed a troublemaker. Why did Kevin send me here?.
"You run your little mouth like you're powerful and you dare walk out on me?!." He growled.
"Please... Stop hurting me..." I cried getting weak.
I tried to free myself but he's much stronger than me.
"Robin! Let her go!." I heard someone yell.
He released my hand which is already bleeding staining my white shirt. I looked around and saw a woman and a girl probably my age coming downstairs.
"Why are you hurting the girl Robin?." I heard the older woman ask.
"She was rude to me mother." He lied.
"You're such a shameless liar Robin. We saw you from the moment she entered the house. She was polite enough but you're too persistent in trouble." The girl said.
"Be careful Sheila. I'm still your older brother you know." He gritted his teeth.
She rolled her eyes, "As if that has ever gotten us anywhere. Face it Robin, you're acting like an immature teenager."
"Mother!."
"That's enough Sheila." The woman finally said. Then she faced me, "Who are you?."
"I am Anastasia Cobbens, I am Sir Kevin's personal assistant. He asked me to deliver this parcel to you." I said and gave it to her.
She collected it and nodded, "Good."
"I have to go back now. Excuse me." I bowed.
"No wait." I heard Sheila stop me.
What have I done wrong again?. She walked close to me and surprisingly examined my injured hand.
"Look at how badly hurt you are. And all you want to do is get back to work? You can't go back like this." She said.
I smiled weakly, "No please. I appreciate you a lot but I have to go. My boss asked me to come early, I don't want to lose my job."
"Nonsense. Come on. Your clothes are stained, you don't want to attract unnecessary attention to yourself, do you?." She insisted.
She dragged me upstairs before I could even say anything. I don't get why she's being so nice to me despite knowing that I am a low rank wolf. Everyone usually treats me like I'm useless, I know I am though.
She took me to a room painted in field green and lemon, I guess this is her room. It's girly and very comfortable.
"Sit here. Pull off your shirt while I give to the workers to quickly wash for you. They'll fix the holes and dry it up." She said.
I didn't argue further. I did as instructed and waited for her. She came in with a first aid tool for werewolves. She treated my hand, then she returned the tool.
My mind wasn't at rest as all I wanted was to get back to work. I didn't even notice her giving me an orange juice.
"I am sorry about my troublesome brother. He's always like that." She apologized.
"It's okay. I'm used to this." I replied.
"Can I ask you for a favor?."
I nodded even though I don't know what the favor is. She's been nice to me, I hope I can do her this favor she wants.
"Please don't tell my brother about this. He's gonna kill Robin for hurting his employee no matter the rank. Please."
I am taken aback by her outburst. Is Kevin really going to defend me if I told him?.
"I won't tell him, I promise." She smiled and patted my back.
"I hope you keep your promise, my brother is very persistent in getting the truth out of people."
"I won't tell him a thing no matter what he does."
She nodded and walked out of the room. What makes her think I'd tell him anyway?. Everyone knows what happens to wolves like me. I am used to being treated like I don't deserve to live. Besides he wouldn't take sides with a weakling like me over his own brother.
Sheila has nothing to worry about.
"Your shirt is done. You should start going now so you don't get back to work late."
I wore my shirt and bid her goodbye. I got into the car and the driver drove off. I saw Robin's pair of angry eyes as we drove out. I pray Kevin never sends me to this place again. At least not until I can defend myself from him.
