ASHER POV
I took a sip of the red wine then looked up from the glass to see the maid attending to me. I sighed and placed the glass back on the desk.
“You,” I called out to her. She flinched before regaining her composure and bowed, "Yes, Alpha."
“Haven't you been working here since this evening? You must be tired. I'll excuse you to go and rest, so call someone else to take your place.”
“That's okay, Alpha. I'm still…” she began, but immediately stopped once she felt my cold glare on her. “Who do you want as my replacement?” I guess she's smart enough to understand my true intentions.
“Who I want is…” I began as my mind drifted to early this afternoon when I was returning from the council meeting, those greedy old werewolves were really starting to get on my nerves. I was pissed and glad that stupid meeting ended without me killing anyone of them when I suddenly felt a pair of eyes on me.
I hated eyes on me all the time, it was hard enough that I had to deal with it outside, with fan girls and reporters, I didn't want to deal with the same thing in my own palace as well which is why I ordered no maid to look at me especially when I passed through them and didn't call for their attention.
I gave that order so, imagination my irritation when I felt those eyes on me, with my already sour mood, I turned around, ready to punish the maid, then fire her at the spot, but I paused in my tracks once our eyes met.
Her red doe eyes were firm and never wavered as she held my gaze. I could tell she was caught off guard by my sudden turn and that this was uncomfortable for her, but she didn't show it and remained composed, staring back at me like she was an equal to me. She had a very strong resolve, I felt some arrogance and determination behind those eyes which made her not scared of death.
So there's a lowly maid in my palace who's not scared of me? How interesting.
That wasn't the only thing interesting about her. She was beautiful, to say the least. I've met countless beautiful she wolves but hers was different, she had and ethereal beauty to her and her brown hair which was in a bun was very shiny under the sunlight.
I walked away quickly before I could do anything, what would I have done to her? I wasn't sure anymore but I was sure it's not what I had planned to do when I turned to look at her.
After that encounter, I rested in my chambers for a while before leaving to work on some unfinished business in the study until it was late at night and not once did that maid leave my mind.
I tried distracting myself with work but it was no use, I kept thinking about her, her eyes, her smooth and chubby cheeks and her shinny hair. As I looked out the window to the full moon up in the sky, I wondered how her brown hair would look under the moonlight sky with her hair down.
It finally sank into me that work wouldn't help me forget her. I tried and failed miserably and in the end, I almost got nothing done.
It's obvious what I need to do to finally rid her of my mind, I returned to my bed chambers and ordered the maid waiting on me today to send for her.
I changed into my nightwear but topped off the top before getting into my bed. I waited for her but that she wolf actually kept me waiting for two hours! I know the maid quarters is far from my bed chambers but it should only take about thirty (30) minutes to get here if she rushed here with her werewolf strength.
That she wolf is very daring, she doesn't care to cozy up to me or please me, does she not care if I fire her? Or I throw her in the dungeon for her rude behavior towards the royal Alpha? I wonder what she's thinking right now.
I recognized her aura once she was outside my quarters. I suddenly felt excited that she was here, forgetting but my previous curiosities of her rude and indifferent behavior and was just imagining how her hair would feel once my hands go through her hair.
I pretended to be asleep, I wanted to know what she would do once she saw me asleep, but not in my wildest imagination did I imagine what she would do.
Once she entered the room, she was silent. She didn't even try to call out to me as if she didn't want to risk waking me and tiptoed towards me. It was as if she was smiling, happy that I was asleep.
With that realization, a smile spread across my lips. She wanted to assassinate me but I could tell she's no threat nor does she know what she's doing because I didn't sense danger, not even when I smelled silver. She wasn't a professional assassin so I'm sure nobody sent her, it's either she's doing this because of a personal grudge or someone sent her here so I would get rid of her.
But whatever the case may be, I'm not getting rid of her. She's a different breed, a she wolf I've never met before. My pack is full of strong willed werewolves who fear no one, but even they kiss up to me, no matter how strong they were but this maid, I could tell she's not very strong, yet she wants to kill me.
I felt when the silver knife pierced through the air and was about to stab my back but I turned towards her at the last minute and grabbed the knife.
Her eyes widened, and I finally saw the look of fear in her eyes and my grin got wider, “What do you think you're doing, little lady?”
