The Alpha King's Hunter Mate

Chapter 2

CHAPTER 2

Aubrey

Here I am in the Moonlight Kingdom, the moonlight kingdom is under the jurisdiction of King Desmond. He is the alpha king of the northerners, and just like the north, the west, south and east have their kings.

I had just arrived at the kingdom and I sneaked in, and didn't stand out, not everyone in the pack are werewolves, and that was why I was able to blend in, most humans are used as maids and slaves that can be bought easily.

I am on my way to the imperial palace of the moonlight kingdom. There is a recruitment of maids. The previous maids have been released, all maids are only allowed to serve in the imperial palace for five years and they will be released afterwards, it was to protect the secret of royalty.

I agreed to become a spy because it is what the clan needed me to do, and I knew that it was because of this that my parents had wanted me to marry the alpha king, they wanted to make it look like I'm following the orders of the clan but I won't be. They don't want me to take the risks of being a spy, and that was why they didn't say a word to me about it. The clan had indeed chosen a good time for me to come here as a spy because it is time for the palace to recruit maids.

I walked through the huge gate of the imperial palace and towards the hall where the maids are being recruited. There was a queue in front of the hall, and I stayed behind the line. Everyone on the queue is human, that is because humans are weak and they are less of a threat than werewolves, the only way for a human to hurt werewolves is by poisoning them but hunters aren't included.

The work we will be in charge of won't require much strength as we are going to be in charge of the menial jobs around the palace. There is a limit to the workers that will accept but that doesn't mean just anyone can be accepted. The physical fitness and health will be checked, and that was why the queue was much more than required. After standing for hours, it was my turn to be interviewed.

Just like I had been told everything went smoothly and all the answers to their questions had been prepared beforehand, and just like expected I was hired. I was told by one of the supervisors that I am not allowed to leave the palace unless on vacation and with that I was led to a side where the others that were hired are staying.

It was not until two hours later that they were done with recruiting, and it was a pitiful amount of people that were recruited compared to the large queue.

“Follow me!,” the man in charge of the recruitment said to us, and we all followed him with no questions being asked.

It was hard for me to believe that I became a slave of werewolves when my job is to eliminate everyone of them for the peace of mankind but then again I knew that what I'm doing right now is for the greater good of mankind as I have been instructed by the clan as they want to get rid of every purge in the world. I wouldn't have accepted coming here at all if it weren't for the fact that the clan had ordered this. Moreover this is much better than my parents plan to send me here to marry the alpha king.

I won't become a spy if I follow my parents plan but coming here as a spy is the biggest thing I can ever ask for. I feel glad that the clan thinks highly of me to send me as a spy.

Although I knew that my time here might not be good, I will have to endure it for the sake of mankind, and it will only be a matter of time before I get back at the werewolves. I will be the one who will have the last laugh, and with that I shrugged out all my thoughts as I made up my mind to focus on the task at hand.

Soon we arrived at a house which looked more of a dormitory with the title ‘Maid’s quarter’, and I stared around the place wanting to know to take in every little detail since this will be where I will live for the next period of time.

“I will leave things to you, you should explain everything they need to know about the palace and what they shouldn't do” the interviewer said to the head maid, and she nodded her head. The head maid had been introduced to us during the interview, and she was the one who asked most of the questions regarding our interviews.

As soon as the interviewer left, the head maid turned to look at us. “As you all know, I'm the head maid and I will be the one to take you through your duties and obligations. These are the rules that you must abide by,” she pointed to the wall of the dormitory.

The yellow pale paper that was pasted on the wall was conspicuous, and I had gone through it the moment I arrived. The rules state that everyone must help each other out, and that we will all be punished together if any of us misbehaves, and we weren't allowed to look any of the royal members in the eyes.

I found some of the rules formulated unnecessary but still I knew I had to follow the rules if I wanted to blend in and complete my task easily. “You must all follow the rules unless you want to lose your head” she said in a stern voice, and I couldn't help but feel bad for the other maids since they will be treated like chickens once they break the lousy rules.

We were divided into three groups, before the head maid started distributing the chores. “Your works will all be distributed to you just like you had written in your resume. You will be in charge of the house chores,” the head maid said pointing to one of the groups, and they responded immediately. “You will be in charge of cooking,” She said again pointing to another group of people. There has been a test for the group that was in charge of cooking and they were all hired after that had shown their skills which made the interview much longer.

“You guys will be in charge of serving the food, mind you, you all will be held accountable if anything goes wrong with the food, so your job is to supervise and serve the food” she explained staring at the third group which I was in.

“This is a list of everyone, and their dormitories,” the head maid said, taking out a paper that she had held behind her, and she then pasted it on the wall of the dormitory.

“You should all familiarize yourself with the environment, duty will begin in an hour” the head maid said and with that she left.

I breathe a sigh of relief after the head maid had left, I hadn't been able to calm myself down in the face of the supervisor's as I have been on tenterhooks since I arrived, I have been thinking of what to do when my identity is blown and although I hate to admit it there is no way I will be able to survive once my cover is blown.

This will be the first time I will be going on an undercover mission, although I have been taught at the hunter school in the clan on how to behave as an undercover I was still nervous and that was mostly because there is no way for us to practice with werewolves. All our practice was all simulated and this will be the first time that I will be in such a situation, and I would be lying if I say that the lessons at the hunter school didn't help at all.

I was also glad that the clan had chosen to help me jiggle down my memory about what I have been taught in the hunter's school. I knew that the only way for things to work out for me is to blend in, and not do anything out of the ordinary and if necessary I need to form a bond with my roommates, and that's what I'm going to do. I might not be as worried as I am if I were in a pack but I'm in a kingdom ruled by werewolves which is much more dangerous than being in a pack.

I walked toward my designated room which was at the far end of the dormitory, and not long after I arrived my other roommates appeared. We all exchanged pleasantries as we started unpacking, and we made small talks asking about each other's situation, and I try to make sure that I get along with them and not show my hatred towards werewolves.

The room had two double bunk beds placed one each side of the room, each room can be occupied by four people. “I hate werewolves, they behave like everyone else is under them, I don't believe that my parents gave birth to me because of how I am treated” she said with her eyes filled with anger.

“They don't treat us like they treat the others, it must be because we are weak and are no different from leeches who leech off them” another said with sadness etched on her face.

“It is good that we are all here, everyone is treated fairly and although we don't aren't going to be respected like werewolves out there but at least we won't be treated badly” another said leaning on the bunk bed with a smile on her face. It was not until now that I realized that not everyone treats humans equally.

It was now that I realized how hard the humans living in pack’s must have felt since they aren't welcome by the general public and most importantly their family is part of those who casted them aside. I knew that everyone here has a story and they all came here to be slaves to get away from the general public.

I spent the next hours listening to the words of my roommates which was all about how they were treated badly, and they all asked me about my situation which I told them about.

It wasn't until a while later that the head maid arrived, and everyone got to work, it was then that I realized that all my roommates were assigned to the same work as me. We all got ourselves familiar with our work and the head maid supervised us.

We were ordered to serve the food after it was prepared under our supervision, and my four roommates were in charge of serving the food, and while we were at that we were all silent trying to do all we can to make sure we do everything in order. We had just pushed the tray to the dining room and were serving the food on the table when I heard the sound of footsteps.

I felt the powerful aura of a werewolf, and I couldn't help but feel suffocated. I had thought that I would be infuriated and want to retaliate but it turned out that I was wrong about my speculations because I was strangely comfortable under the oppressive aura.

I felt curious about the identity of the owner of the footsteps, and although I knew that the other party's identity wasn't simple, I lifted my head up. My eyes constricted as I stared at the most perfect and handsome man I have ever seen, and I couldn't help but feel that I made the best choice b

reaking the rules of now looking at anyone while serving was worth it.
