Half an hour later, Elsa came out with Margaret, the understanding woman's name, who had taken her into her arms when she was in tears.
"Let's get going, before we'll be served as dinner" Margaret said.
As they came out of the changing room, They met Rita who told them where to begin.
"The bedrooms on the upper floor needs cleaning, Margaret should take the right hand side while Elsa should take the left. Be fast about it. You should be done before the party begins."
Elsa nodded sheepishly, trying not to look frightened with what Rita had said.
"A party will be held here today, so all the rooms needs to be cleaned up for the guests who will be passing the night here" Rita explained again.
Elsa stared ahead nodding sheepishly.

Lucan roused suddenly on his king size bed, getting up sleepily. He had been having a wild dream of him and his mate making love. But Even in the dream, the face of his mate remain blurry and unseen. Which made him furious.
He had never dreamt about him and his mate making love before but due to the scent he caught earlier, even his Wolf couldn't rest and was in a panic state of mind.
"Calm down boy, I'm sure we're close to getting her" He muttered to his outraged Wolf, walking over to the bar section in his chamber, he poured himself a glass of wine, and slumped down into the golden chair close to the bed.
He made a silent call to his Beta, Lewis, who came into the room in few minutes.
"My Lord, you called for me"
"How's it?"
All.... Everyone had been taken in and starting to work immediately, a d the preparations for the party tonight using full swing" Lewis replied.
"Good, any news concerning the Phonal Packs?"
"No my Lord, but a messenger is meant to deliver this night at the party"
"Okay, let me know immediately he's around, we need whatever message he's sent to deliver. I heard some other Packs have joined forces to fight against us"
"There's war on the way?" Lewis asked.
"Yes there is, and it's going to be fierce, that's why we need more packs to join forces with us too."
"And that's why we must find the Luna too. So you can claim her and be as strong as you're supposed to be. "
Lucan thought sense in what he said but .....
"True." The thought of the scent lingering about him today came back to him.
"As there been any woman around, I mean, someone visiting here in my castle today?" He didn't even know how to put the question and he knew he was sounding weird.
"Woman?" Lewis questioned, drawing his brows together. "I don't think that's true, No my Lord, there hasn't been, But there were some pretty ladies among the captives brought today........"
"Get lost!" Lucan said angrily.Lewos got up immediately to leave.
"I'll get back to you soon, you should be getting ready too" Lewis suggested as he left the room.
Lucan signed and sipped his wine solemnly.

Elsa was tired and exhausted, but she still continued working, setting tables after table and going in and out of every room to wipe them clean.
There was an Alphabetical plate of ALPHA placed on the door to symbolize that the room belonged to the Alpha.
Unlike the other doors, this was golden In colour. Even the door alone screamed wealth.
She raised up her hand to knock but stopped Midway. She took a deep breath and knocked once at first, then another, followed by a third. No response. could he be asleep?
She tried the door lock slowly and gently, shivering like they would break. It was unlocked!
She didn't Know whether to be happy about that or not.
she pushed the door opened gently and peeked inside. Thankfully, The room was empty. She went inside happily, not even looking around like she had planned. She made the bed as quickly as possible, wiped the strings clean. Cleaned the windows, word the table. And bent down to Clean the floor.
After she was done, She looked around, saw that all was in order, she carried the water filled bucket and left. Releasing her pent up breathing.
Closing the door as gently as she could just as when she'd first came in. She loved to the next room and this time, she took her time to admire her surroundings. How she wished she could get a room like this for herself.
She began cleaning, when she was done, she felt so tired that she sat sagged against the floor, biting her red cherry lips tiredly.
Even her hair was wet with sweat and sated with dust, but she tried her best to get up again. This was he last room she needed to clean, meaning she was done cleaning.
She grabbed the Bucket again and went out of the room. As soon as she came out, she saw the door to the Alpha's room opening and she turned around and went back into the room she had just clean, for she was not ready to set her eyes on him again.
She didn't Know why she's feeling this way,but he made her so uneasy. Even the thought of him alone....Since the first time she'd seen him. she'd felt a little uneasy.
She stood close to the door and few seconds later, she heard footsteps. But she couldn't really make out what they where saying.
When she felt a clear atmosphere, she opened the door and hurridly walked down the hallway to rest a little.
