AVERY
"What!" I exclaimed.
"What? Did you think you would become a princess when you came here?" She asked sarcastically, but I said nothing.
"If that's what you are thinking, snap out of it, and get into that bathroom. You only have five minutes." She ordered.
I bit my lips slightly. She sounded so harsh that it scared me a bit, so I took the uniform from her before entering the bathroom.
I went under the shower and turned on the faucet. I took a quick bath, after which I picked up the uniform from where I kept it. Raising it up, my eyes widened at how short it was. I can't possibly wear this.
I shook my head, took a new towel, wrapped myself with it before going out of the bathroom.
"Why are you not dressed yet?!" she asked loudly when she saw me. I swallowed nothing, but still spoke up.
"I can't wear this. It's too short."
"You can't wear it?" She chuckled, but frowned immediately. "Do you think you have a choice, huh? Put it on!!" I flinched, taking a step back.
"Now!!!" she yelled again, and I immediately rushed back into the bathroom in fear. Tears threatened to fall, but I held in it and began putting on the uniform.
Was everyone in this place like this? Everyone seemed bitter and cold. How am I going to cope now that I'm going to be a maid here?
After much struggle, I was finally cladded in the uniform, which disgusted me. The gown was too short; it stopped at my mid thigh, exposing my laps. Not only was it short, it was also so tight that I found it hard to breathe.
"Aren't you done!!" Hearing her angry voice, I took one last look at myself again before leaving the bathroom.
"Better." She eyed me before walking out of the room and I immediately followed. We continued walking till we got to the kitchen and the maids there turned to us.
"Gather around." She clapped her hands and they did as she said.
"This is.." she trailed off and turned to me with a questioning gaze.
"Avery." I said and she nodded before turning back to them. "Her name is Avery and she is joining you guys as a maid, okay?" She said loudly.
"Yes, Lady Margaret." They chorused.
Oh. That's her name. She must be the head here, considering the way she acts. I frowned, but it vanished when she turned to me. "You would be the Alpha King's personal maid as from today onwards and..."
"Why is she the Alpha's personal maid?" One of the maids cut in and I watched as the Court lady's face etched into a frown as she turned to her. "Are you questioning me?"
"I am the Alpha's personal maid, so why would you give my post to her when she is still new?" The girl frowned.
The court lady glared at her and turned to me without saying anything. "You would take coffee to the Alpha every morning by six and you are also in charge of his meals, but for the main time, do the dishes. Get it?" She asked, and I nodded.
She turned away from me and, after one last look at the maids, she left the kitchen. The maids began dispersing till it was only the girl who spoke up earlier left. She walked closer to me and from the look on her face; she was angry so I decided to ignore her. I made to walk away, but she grabbed my hand.
"Where do you think you are going?"
"The court lady asked me to do the dishes." I replied.
"Hey." She poked my forehead with her finger, making me frown. "What are you doing?"
"What am I doing? Who do you think you are to come from nowhere and take my position as the Alpha's personal maid?!" She yelled, drawing the attention of the maids to us.
I scoffed and shook my head. Is she seriously trying to fight with me because of that? She should be happy she won't be serving that haughty man again, but here she is, trying to fight with me.
Like...do you think I'm happy that I am going to be serving him? I wanted to yell at her, but I didn't. I only glared at her.
"Feisty, huh?" she smirked, taking a step closer to me. "Be careful, okay." With that said, she glared at me before walking out of the kitchen. I sighed. My day isn't getting any better.
"Hey." I heard someone say and I turned to see a girl who looks of the same age and height as me.
"Hi." Mumbling, I watched as she came closer to me.
"That's Mabel." She whispered, and I furrowed my brows.
"She is a witch, not a real one though," she smiled and I chuckled while she continued. "Not only is she a witch, she is also obsessed with the position of the Alpha's personal maid." She said again and my mouth formed into an 'O'
"I'm Mia, by the way." She winked before rushing out of the kitchen. A small formed on my lips as I began doing the dishes.
My day went on with me working endlessly. I noticed that the maids didn't seem to like me cause they all mistreated me; purposely giving me more work than normal, which I did since I didn't have a choice.
It was now in the evening and I was currently heading to the Alpha King's suite with Mabel. Lady Margaret asked us to take dinner to the Alpha King.
When we got to his suite, the guards let us in after announcing our presence. My eyes landed on the Alpha King, who was sitting gracefully on the couch, his eyes on his phone.
"Alpha King." Mabel bowed, and I quickly did the same. We took the food to the dining table before going back to him.
"Your dinner is ready." I announced and he looked up. He took his gaze to Mabel.
"Leave." He ordered and she left, but not without glaring at me.
"How was your day?" He asked with a smirk which seemed annoying to me.
"Did you enjoy it?" He asked again,.but I said nothing, and he nodded, standing up.
"Strip." He ordered.
"What!" My eyes widened in shock.
"I'm done playing with you, so strip and get on the bed. Now!" He ordered.
I bit my lip fearfully as I took my gaze to the floor. I can't believe we are back to this.
