Akira's Fate With The Alpha King

Madam Yelena was a short greying older woman, with a permanent frown etched on her face. After Carla had introduced me as ‘another’ new maid, she had looked at me with a scowl on her pouty lips before shoving a; broom, mop and metal bucket in my hands and assigned me to the Beta’s mistress bedroom.

Each cleaning maid had to go with a guard just in case they wanted to try anything funny. Those were Madam Yelena’s words.

After long and strenuous hours of scrubbing the bathroom and thoroughly cleaning the bedroom, I and two other girls of my age were asked to trim the trees in the garden before I was finally shown my room.

It was a small room, with a twin post bed, which meant I had a roommate. I looked around for her belonging but I found none.

It didn’t take long for me to fall asleep, although the mattress was hard and the sheets were cold, I drifted off within minutes, with Eve in my thoughts.

A few minutes into my sleep, I felt someone lightly tap my shoulders. “Wake up, Akira, Madam Yelena wants to speak to us.” A familiar feminine voice spoke.

I groaned as I slowly opened my eyes. My head pounded hard and I was thirsty.

“Heyyy.” I yawned with a smile when I saw Lenny.

She grinned back, it almost felt like all that happened was a nightmare until she spoke.

“Thank heavens we’re roommates. We have to go.”

I quickly followed her to the enormous kitchen, where all the maids were gathered and madam Yelena was already speaking with a scowl on her face.

She was talking about the annual ball coming in a few days and how we needed to please the Alpha with our arrangements when I heard someone gasp beside me.

“Akira!” Eve’s girly voice rang through my ears.

My eyes filled with tears and I immediately rushed to hug her.

I quickly rambled off questions to her, mainly about what the hell we were doing here.

And she answered them all in one breath, allowing me to ask questions and giving me the right answers.

“So you’re telling me that werewolves are real, ninety percent of the people living here are werewolves and this is a ‘wolf pack’?” I asked dryly, my arms folded across my chest.

Although she answered my questions as well as she could, I still thought she was lying, none of it was making sense.

She nodded.

Lenny and I stared at her like she was out of her mind.

“And their Alpha is the infamous Alpha Ares?”

She nodded, once again.

“So Nana’s stories were true?” My jaw was almost touching the ground.

I had occasionally told Eve about the stories Nana told Ama and I. The thought of Nana and Ama had my heart clenching and my eyes teary.

“Why the hell are you still calm? I can’t stay here, Eve!” I whispered, looking around the whole place. And in my peripheral view, Lenny nodded in agreement.

Eve looked at the floor, then I knew something was wrong. “My father is a werewolf and was a member of this pack, he was among the wolves who were exiled.” She exhaled loudly. “Look, I want to leave, but I can’t. If I get caught trying to escape, my punishment will be grave because I am a werewolf.”

“What?!” I cried out, gaining the attention of the girls closer to us.

Madam Yelena suddenly interrupted us. “Except you all want to be whipped by the guards, again, I strongly suggest you shut up.”
