Anne's pov.
The night ran rather fast and before I knew it was morning. I slowly opened my eyes,when the warm sunlight danced across my skin, and the gentle chirping of crickets calmed me.I turned to where my phone was and looked at the time feeling so relaxed,I breathed in the air '
"It's 8:00am.It's 8:00am!
"I sprang up from bed throwing off the covers as the sudden realization hit me 'I was late'
my heart racing with a mix of anxiety and urgency,I rushed to the bathroom had my bath and threw on my maid wear them ran off to the Alpha's room without catching a breath.
'Knock ,knock'
"Alpha Jackson ,it's Anne. May I come in?"
"Come in." Alpha Jackson ordered .
I entered, but the sight that welcomed me was not pleasing, my wolf burned with jealousy just staring at them both .
It was the Alpha and his plaything. The Alpha layed with his hands wrapped around her, resting his hands across her body and the whore cuddled up in his embrace,feeling comfortable in his grasp.The obvious intimacy between them broke me.
"What are you staring at! Lower your eyes." He threw at me.
"Sorry sir." I immediately apologised lowering my eyes.
"Baby, who is she?"
My eyes watered as this whore called my mate 'baby'
"She is nothing but a maid." He answered denying our bond in my very presence.
My fist tightened as I couldn't stand this scene any longer,
Alpha, is there anything you would like me to do for you? If non I would like to take my leave because I can see I'm interrupting something.
"You would like to take your leave!" He said introducing a light grin to his chin
"Well...I have nothing I would like you to do for me, but you are also not allowed to leave."
"I am not allowed to leave? Why?" I asked immediately, furious.
"It's bold of you to question me but I will answer you. I know your heart is on fire ,and the smoke choking you. The pain of seeing your mate In the arms of another is unending and sharp.That pain is what I want you to experience."
My eyebrows lifted in awe of the rubbish spilled by the Alpha. I might be a maid but I still know my right.
"Pfff" I scoffed at his face.
I know what am about is rash and seem immature but I have a pride to uphold at least in front of this whore.
"Did you just scoff at me!" He shouted in anger .
To be sincere, I did freak out a little as his firm pissed off voice hit me but I maintained a straight face ,
"With all due respect Alpha Jackson, I want to correct something. I am not your mate! and as such I do not feel even the slightest pain for the disgusting entanglement you have going on there and to cut the long story short I am not going to stand here feeling nausea from disgust."I said staring straight at his eyes,
"And for your question, Yes I scoffed at you. And that's because it was quite bold of you to think I would obey such order." I said with a little smile to my cheeks
"My honourable Alpha ,I beg to take my leave." I said as I bowed in respect then left his room .
"As I locked the door behind me,I swallowed hard as every ounce of courage I had in the there jumped out the window, my legs wiggled in fear. I knew I was going to be fired 'Oh my God' I blurted out as I staggered losing my balance.
I slowly moved down the hall like a zombie when a hand touched my shoulders,
"Anne ,how are you ?"
The hand was accompanied with a familiar female voice ,one I hadn't heard for a while, I turned half heartedly to see who exactly it was and it was Elizabeth. Immediately my eyes met with her's I broke down in tears as I dived into her arms for comfort.
"Anne what's wrong?"
She asked interested at what might have happened to me but I couldn't answer I just sobbed more and she waited patiently for me to be done.
When I was done she took me downstairs to the field outside the asked me to sit with her then she went further to enquire on what really happened.
"It's nothing much, I just remembered my late parents." I lied,
I couldn't bring myself to confide in her, not because she would do anything wrong, but because I hadn't yet built up enough trust. Honestly, I didn't trust anyone.
"Are you sure?"
Elizabeth pressed, concern etched on her face. I nodded, forcing a light smile.
"Yes, I'm positive. Thanks for asking."
I stood up to leave, but my heart skipped a beat as I heard the Alpha's voice closing in on our location. My pulse racing, cold sweat trickling down my face, I panicked.
Hearing his voice approach, my heart sank as a surge of fear built up in me. I thought to myself, 'I'm going to get fired for sure.' I had already made a mistake in his room that morning, and I knew I couldn't face him.
I was paralyzed with anxiety, unsure of what to do or where to go. My friend Elizabeth noticed my distress and asked if I was okay, but I was too flustered to respond. I rushed to the entrance to see where the Alpha was, and when I didn't see him, I breathed a sigh of relief.
But my relief was short-lived, as I turned to face Elizabeth and tried to brush off my panic with a fake laugh. I quickly turned to make a hasty retreat to the maid's quarters, hoping to avoid detection. However, in my haste, I collided with a solid object - Alpha Jackson himself. Mortified, I quickly got up, covered my face, and hoped he didn't notice it was me as I slowly got up running forward without looking back.
Moving forward I hit another obstacle then out of frustration I blurted out,
"Are you a ghost! Can you please leave me alone, you don't have to follow me everywhere just to fire me. Thinking it was Alpha Jackson I continued pleading with my eyes closed ,
"Alpha Jackson pls forgive me!" I let falling to my knees " I really need this job,please! I'm an orphan."
Begging while anticipating the annoyingly sweet voice of the Alpha but then a different voice hit me,
"I don't think I asked for that information and Alpha Jackson? I Don't think I look that much like him"
A hand reached out to help me up, still down I wondered, startled, 'Who was this familiar voice'
