I Shrunk back with fear , terrified of what would happen and how i got to an unknown
building. The room I was very big and I was lying on a king size bed totally different from
what I was used to.

“We rescued you from a guy that was about to r**e you “ He said giving a small smile.
“ I hope you’re ok”
I blinked, trying to process what the stranger had just told me. My mind was foggy, and I
struggled to piece together what had happened.
"Rescued?" I mumbled, my voice hoarse.
"I... I don't understand.
"
The man took a step closer, his expression concerned.
"You were attacked on the road. My
friend and I were passing by and intervened. We brought you here to recover.
"
Slowly, fragments of memory started coming back to me. The rejection, running away, and
then... I shuddered, not wanting to think about what almost happened.
"Thank you,
" I whispered, pulling the blanket tighter around myself.
"Where am I?"
"You're safe,
" he assured me.
"This is my guest house. I'm Ryder, by the way.
"
I nodded, still feeling overwhelmed.
"I'm Olivia,
" I replied softly.
Ryder smiled gently.
you'd like us to contact for you?"
"Nice to meet you, Olivia. Are you hungry? Thirsty? Is there anyone
At the mention of contacting someone, I tensed up.

"I see. Well, you're welcome to stay here

"
"I'll bring you some food and water. WeHe sent someone who I presumed to be maid to bring food for me . After eating , I was
shown where to stay.
As I settled into the room Ryder had provided, I thought of where to go from here. I had no
plan, no money, and nowhere to go. The kindness of this stranger was all that stood
between me and complete desperation.
After a restless night, I made up my mind. I had to ask Ryder for help, even if it meant
swallowing my pride.
The next morning, i woke up very early, I saw some maid working. I Decided to join and help
them clean as a form of appreciation. While I was cleaning, a thought crossed my mind.
Since I had no where to go, I can as well stay here and become a maid. All I needed was a
roof over my head.
After I finished cleaning with them, I ask around for Ryder and was directed to his room.
I placed a gentle knock on the door and Ryder asked me to come in.
" Good morning sir,
" I began hesitantly,
" please I... I need to ask you something.
"
He looked up, his expression open and attentive.
"What is it, Olivia?"
I swallowed hard, fighting back tears.
"I don't have anywhere to go. My family... I can't go
back there. Is there any way I could stay here for a while? I'll do anything to earn my keep.
"
Ryder's face softened with understanding. He was quiet for a moment, considering my
request. Then he spoke, his voice gentle but firm.
"Olivia, I understand you're in a difficult situation. I'd be happy to help you out. In fact, I might
have a solution that could work for both of us.
"
My heart leapt with hope.
"Really? What is it?"
"We're actually short-staffed at the moment,
" he explained.
"If you're willing to work, you
could stay here as a maid. It would give you a place to live, steady income, and time to
figure out your next steps. What do you think?"
I couldn't believe my ears. It wasn't the future I had imagined for myself, but it was far better
than anything I could have hoped for just a day ago.
"Yes,
" I said, nodding eagerly.

"Yes, I'd be so grateful for that opportunity. Thank you, Sir. I
He smiled warmly.

"I'm sure you will. We'll get you started tomorrow. For now, rest and——————————————————-
T oday made it a month and two weeks since I started working as a maid here and Ryder as
been so nice to me, to the extent that most people here started to gossip about how he
treats me. We have been preparing for this huge event that is coming up tomorrow . I heard
werewolves from other packs will be coming here to grace this big event.
As I bustled around the hotel, helping with preparations for the upcoming event. Werewolves
from other packs would be gracing this event and we were asked to make it colorful.
I was arranging flowers in one of the grand suites when I overheard two other maids
whispering nearby.
"Did you hear? The Lycan King himself is coming!"
My heart nearly stopped. The Lycan King? Here? I tried to steady my shaking hands as I
continued my work, desperately hoping I had misheard.
But as the day wore on, more rumors circulated. Not only was the Lycan King coming, but he
had booked the entire top floor for his entourage.
I felt fear envelope me, if the Lycan king is coming here, what if he recognizes me? What if
his step brother tagged along. Different thoughts filled my mind. I was distracted from my
thoughts when one of the maids tapped me at my shoulder. Get ready, sir Ryder just
informed the head Nurse that the Royals from Moonstone pack has arrived. He assigned
you and the head nurse to serve them during their stay here.
Immediately I heard those words, I felt dread in my stomach. If the Moonstone royals have
arrived, it means that The Lycan king and His step brother were here already.
Before I could respond to the other maid, I heard the head nurse call my name rushing over
to the entrance. They are here, the other maid will go and walk them to their rooms.
Once they have rested for about thirty minutes, Go and serve them their food. I nodded
responding to her.
I took a deep breath, trying to calm my nerves as I prepared the trays of food. Thirty minutes
had passed far too quickly, and now I found myself standing outside the royal suite, my
hands trembling slightly as I balanced the heavy tray.Gathering my courage, I knocked gently on the door.
"Enter,
" a deep voice called from inside.
I flung the door opened, my eyes widened in shock as I entered inside and met the same
person that made me run away from the pack.
My mate. The same wolf that rejected me.
