The morning was in its early stages, when Lila and Mia woke up from their slumber, groggy and rubbing their eyes while also noticing a disturbing sight in the courtyard outside. They found the servants working together, heaving a heavy and cumbersome metal sheet or slab. A little alarmed by this, they stepped out of their room and went towards the commotion.
"What is that for?" Lila inquired, her voice bearing the heaviness of slumber. She was unable to notice the uninviting expression that the staff members bestowed upon her when she inquired about the heavy sheet that they were hauling.
"Don't know who she thinks she is, sleeping while others are working," the females whispered amongst themselves, holding a grudge against her for napping while they were busy carrying out a laborious task. Lila and Mia exchanged a glance and decided not to probe anymore, preferring to simply leave it at that.
They made their way down the hallway towards the kitchen, where they were greeted by Maria, who displayed signs of surprise in her tone. "You're awake," she remarked, having expected them to remain asleep for longer.
The females responded to her with a greeting in unison, which appeared to amuse the woman. "Good morning, Maria!"
The woman told them to indulge in food quickly and brush their teeth, as they would soon be granted responsibility for a task by higher powers.
After completing their breakfast, consisted of a wholesome bowl of soup and bread, they returned back to Maria, who had initially designated their work area. They were appreciative of the meal that she had presented them.
"We have finished our meal," they conveyed to her. Maria provided a sign of acceptance with a nod, informing them that they, along with Sally, were placed in the roster for the task force in the packhouse. Following this, she advised the duo to seek out Sally and get further instructions.
At that moment, a joyful young lady strolled into the room, her features glowing at the sound of her name. She was a compact girl with a headful of curly brown curls and bright blue eyes that glistened with excitement. She excitedly declared herself, "I heard my name," and offered a hand in their direction. Mia and Lila promptly responded, greeting her back with kind expressions. This was how the day kicked off, as their new acquaintance, Sally, introduced herself, and their time spent together officially started.
Sally greeted each of them excitedly, extending her hand in their direction. They quickly introduced themselves to the new acquaintance, as she appeared quite friendly and welcoming. This marked the start of a new day, where the trio would explore different aspects of their lives and work side by side.

In 20 minutes, they arrived at the packhouse, a grandiose structure that loomed over them with its towering stone walls and enormous wooden doors. The establishment was an emblemature of power and authority, a place where significant plans were hatched and vital resources were amassed. It symbolized the power of the pack, showcasing how this establishment was the pinnacle of their influence and control.
Sally's voice echoed in the empty courtyard as she let out a sigh of relief. "I'm glad I won't be cleaning the packhouse with Vicky. She's so abrasive," she expressed, with her words resonating against the walls.
As the trio entered the large structure, they greeted the on-duty sentinels, who acknowledged their presence with quiet, respectful nods.
Lila held a bucket and mop, Mia held a vacuum cleaner, whereas Sally held the detergent, soaps, and a wiper. The interior space of the packhouse had striking high ceilings and fancy decorations, giving it an illustrious look.
"Follow me," Sally stated, heading for an elevator. "We'll begin from the upper floor and proceed downwards.
Sally continued their march, stating, "If we're fortunate, we may acquire some treats from the kitchen. I possess a friendship with one of the people present there."
The three of them chuckled and continued to follow the feisty female. They continued to wait, hearing the sound of a ping, which meant they had achieved their destination.
Sally guided the duo towards a large chamber with seating arrangements opposite to one another and a large golden chair at the conclusion of the area. The space appeared lavishly furnished and was likely used to carry out meetings by the influential alpha Zane with his elite group.
"That's the meeting location for Alpha Zane and his elite circle," Sally clarified, conveying the significance of the room to the curious duo.
The trio delved upon the assigned task, engaging in a comprehensive cleaning operation. They initially performed a vacuum of the interiors, subsequently wiping the surface with a mop, alongside washing the furniture.
Although the tasks were demanding, they worked swiftly and were able to complete the assignment in a relatively short time. With each room they proceeded to, the packhouse began to gleam under their diligent attention.
The conclusion of the work and the subsequent prospect of relaxation enticed them to continue to proceed to a new room for the execution of similar cleaning duties.
The sights that presented themselves after their hard laborious work were gratifying, serving as a visible symbol of their dedication and expertise. The trio engaged in amicable chatter, finding solace and amusement in the tedious task. The interaction between the three females made the work a pleasurable activity.
Even though it required strenuous effort, they were pleased with the outcome and preferred it to be this way. This was a typical yet significant routine in the existence of these two members of the packhouse cleaning department.
The trio of females were busy cleaning the last room when they heard the distinctive sound of heels clicking towards their location. Immediately after, Claire emerged, swiftly proceeding to her vanity table. The females halted their tasks and awaited Claire's response.
In a dismissive manner, Claire ordered them to complete the job with haste and depart the room. With ease, Sally responded that the cleaning crew would adhere to the instructions provided by Claire, followed by Mia and Lila, who acknowledged the instructions with a simple affirmation.
