The Royal Orphan

3 - Irresponsibility

Zane POV

3 hours later and we were all stood on the front porch as a black SUV pulled up to the front, a man stepped out of the car and stepped up to my father introducing himself as Sergei he then left and opened the door where two tall European girls climbed out of the car, I looked over to Sam and saw his jaw drop he looked to me and had a smug grin pull at his lips 'I want the 2nd one' he stated through mind link I just chuckled slightly. The two girls were then followed by a shorter girl, she wasn't much shorter but enough to show she was still young, she had blonde hair that twisted into a braid over her shoulder, her head was down so I couldn't see her face clearly and her clothes were a loose fit. Clearing my head of the thoughts I focused on my father and the first girl who had got out of the car. 'Hello Alpha my name is Stephanie and this is Veronica and we are here to help with the settling in process, we are due to leave in 3 days on Tuesday evening, these are her documents' Stephanie said to my father professionally, he hummed a response and passed the documents to Mel, Sam's mother, who had suddenly appeared. Mel took the documents and left for the school although it was Saturday she had set up a meeting with the principle to get things sorted this afternoon.

My father then spoke 'Okay, my son and his beta will show you both to your rooms, Camille here will take the girl to the kitchen then her room, we can all regroup in an hour 1:30pm in the dinning room for some lunch. by then I expect the girl to actually look up from her feet, I didn't buy her to stare at the ground all day' a that me and Sam both stifled a laugh, the girls cheeks went rent and her head lifted slightly but not a lot. I shook my head knowing where this girl was going to land if she didn't start acting professionally. Camille took the girl and my father, the beta and my uncle left for the office, me and Sam looked at each other then the girls who were also smirking at us.

HER POV

I followed the middle aged woman named Camille through the front doors and into the kitchen she must have seen my amazement at what i have seen already because she started chuckling. 'You will get used to it, its a big kitchen but you will be cooking for a lot of people.' she said as i stopped looking around. 'we have a lot to get through so lets get started' she started off showing me the layout of the kitchen, you walk through the double doors into the kitchen and your met with an island in the center a industrial fridge freezer on the right side of the room and a large pantry, there is an industrial oven and all the kitchen appliances are kept in the lower cupboards to keep the kitchen clear and clean, there is a large swinging door on the left that leads to the dining room and a small door at the back of the room that leads outdoors to the bins and where the food delivery will arrive. 'So, you will prepare breakfast and dinner everyday but you will only be making the lunches on a weekend and any holidays your off school. I will help you this week but you are going to need to get the hang of it quickly. for breakfast you will be cooking for 8-10 people but we all eat a lot so you will need to prepare for 20-25 people. For dinner you could have up to 100 people coming to eat so prepare a starter, main and desserts, there will be adults, a lot of teens and some children too. Lunches are pretty simple but its a weekend so there will be a lot of people hanging around the Packhouse and they will come to the kitchen to collect their lunches anytime between 12 and 2pm so you need to make sure you have them ready to go. breakfast and dinners are served in the dinning room. At times you may be asked to cater for small parties or events, although for most we do hire a caterer last minute plans will fall on to you.' I stared at Camille wide eyed by the end of her speech. 'Do you know how to cook?' she asked me accusingly. 'uh yeah I think so' I replied, Camille looked me over before walking over to the counter and back again. 'Here are a few cookbooks one for breakfast and snack ideas, another for lunches and dinners and finally one for desserts. read them, learn them and plan your meals. if you know what your cooking each week and when it will make things easier. take them with you tomorrow evening we will sit and you can show me a plan for what your going to do this next week ill check it before we confirm it with the Alpha. ill then show you how to make the delivery order. I make the order tonight but ill only order for Monday so you can plan Tuesday - Sunday. ok?' Camille turned to me I nodded my head feeling relieved I wasn't going to be left to figure this all out on my own, or so I thought.

Camille started walking out of the kitchen motioning for me to follow her, we walked down the hallway passed the staircase and through a door hidden in the staircase, down the steep steps and stopped in a dark room. Camille flicked the lights on which showed the bare walls and what looked like a storage room. Camille looked at me with what I thought was concern before her face seemed relaxed. 'this will be where you will stay, keep it clean tidy it up a bit but the spare beds, mattresses, blankets and pillows stay. I'll give you 15 minutes and then I need you back upstairs in the kitchen' Camille stated before walking off upstairs. I looked around the storage room and figured I could move a few things around to give myself some more space and make it a little more comfortable, I found a few cans of a pale yellow paint and decided ill ask Camille if I can paint the room. I also found a broken wardrobe that I'm sure I could fix with the screwdriver and long rusty nail I found. there was also a desk with a missing leg but if I used the boxes down here I could turn it into a useable desk and I found a ripped chair for the desk too. there was a door next to the stairs so I peeked into the room and found a bathroom, it was nothing like the one that Mrs Garth took me in, this one had a rotten toilet a small dirty sink and a showerhead that barely worked. I figured Ii could get some cleaning supplies and clean it up a bit. part of me felt grateful to have all of this but there was this huge feeling in my chest to run, I was scared of being here but everything is going to be fine I am sure it is just nerves I keep telling myself. I notice I have been down here for a while and realizing that I don't have anything to tell the time I quickly leave my bags and rush up the stairs.

ZANE POV

After spending time with the girls we made our way to the dining hall and took our seats for a late lunch, I looked around the room and noticed everyone was there except the new girl. I looked at my father and could see him getting angrier, tardiness and lack of respect are the two things my father will not stand by. I watched my father check his watch again and look over to Camille, I followed his gaze and saw Camille worriedly staring down the hallway to the omega quarters after a few more seconds she seemed to relax before being tense again. I looked over to the door and watched as the new girl walked straight into the kitchen without even a glance our way. Camille rushed out of the room into the kitchen and Dad followed a few seconds later I heard his voice boom through the house from the kitchen 'HOW DARE YOU TO BE LATE AND NOT ACKNOWLEDGE ANYONE FOR YOU IRRESPONSIBILITY. WHAT IS THE MEANING OF THIS?' I didn't hear her reply even with my enhanced hearing so I figured she was either quiet or didn't have anything to say. 'YOU WILL SERVE THE DISHES THAT CAMILLE HAS PREPARED AND THEN WE WILL HAVE A MEETING IN MY OFFICE AFTER LUNCH. NOW GET ON WITH IT' my fathers voice once again boomed through the house before he walked back in and took his seat. Less than a minute later the new girl walked in with all the lunch plates on the trolley, I watched as her hands trembled putting the plate down in front of my father, he noticed it too and an evil smile graced his face, she then continued to hand out all of the plates and took the trolley back to the kitchen. 'F**k, Camille, will you please get the girl and her lunch and get her to sit with us?' my father asked. Camille came back and ate her lunch quietly and quickly whilst we carried on as normal having conversations and eating until Stacey, Sam's twin sister, spoke up 'So, new girl, do you have a name?' I looked at Stacey, then Sam and my father before looking back down the table to the new girl, everyone was waiting for her to speak as she looked up and looked around she seemed to shrink back into her seat more, she had a perfect heart shaped face with plump pink lips and big blue eyes, I realized that this is the first time I have seen her properly as she was always hiding behind her dark blonde hair. 'E...Ella. My name is Ella' she answered in the softest voice I have ever heard, my heart skipped a beat and my hands became sweaty, what is happening to me? I quickly looked away from her and focused on eating the rest of my lunch.
