Stay

Alpha's slave

Neeko's P.O.V

The next morning...

I was woken by the Alpha's demanding voice through the mind link. I jolted awake. The first thing I did was frantically looking around for the source of the voice, failing to realize that it was through the mind link. When I didn't see or even sense anyone in my room, I sighed in relief and flopped down again.

I must be dreaming.

Get your lazy a*s here in ten minutes. The Alpha's angry voice intruded my thoughts again.

This time, fully awake and aware of the mind link, I rushed to the bathroom and dressed up quickly. Keeping the track of time, I hurried to the Alpha's office. I was neither a morning person nor a person to keep fit. So, by the time I reached the Alpha's office, I was already out of breath.

Trying to regain my breaths, I inhaled a large amount of air and knocked on his door. "Come in!"

I opened the door and closed it behind me. The Alpha was doing some paperwork. Not intending to disturb him, I waited for him to notice me. Soon enough his green orbs were on me.

"Do you still not remember?" he asked.

Why's he so stuck on this matter? Did I really offend him to the extent where he can't forgive me? But also can't punish me since I can't remember anything that happened? I dreaded that whatever I did to offend him, he wouldn't let me off the hook.

"No" was my straight answer.

"Alright! I don't mind having a personal slave to serve me" he smirked.

I was supposed to be his Beta. How did things turn out to be this way? At that moment I really wanted to protest but the thought of making him mad stopped me.

"My office looks dirty. Clean it in ten minutes" he ordered.

My eyes widened in shock. Did he just say ten minutes? How the heck am I supposed to finish that in just ten minutes?

"It's impossible to get the job done in ten minutes" I protested. His office was like a big hall that would take hours of cleaning to make it look perfect. And he wanted me to do it in ten minutes? Was he teasing me? Or was it just t*****e in the name of cleaning?

"well, all the more reason for you to start right away" he smirked. I hate his arrogant attitude!

Finding no room for argument, I started cleaning right away. I had never cleaned before let alone worked so fast. It felt as if I was competing for some precious gold medals.

Seriously? A cleaning gold medal?

It felt super uncomfortable with a certain someone staring at me like a hawk the whole time. I didn't know how long I'd been cleaning but when I was finally done, I was much satisfied with my work. I smiled in self satisfaction and dusted off my clothes, feeling the sense of great achievement.

But a certain someone wasn't happy.

"You are twenty minutes late" he stated.

I groaned internally. This person just knew how to push my buttons. Before I could say anything he threw another command, "Now go and clean my room".

I blinked a few times in disbelief. Is he short on maids? I'm his Beta not his servant. But I didn't want to argue with him since I feared being exposed. I gave him my sweetest smile that I could muster and nodded my head, "Yes Alpha"

Elijah's P.O.V

I silently watched my Beta walk out of my office. He looked too calm to be true. He must be pissed off. But I was loving this little game. I think he looks kinda cute when he's cleaning the shelfs, when he's so focused on his work that the creased lines of concentration is formed on his forehead. I think he's cute when he tries to get rid of his long strands of hair by tugging them behind his ear but failing miserably as they fall back due to the motion of his body. He's even cuter when the light passes through his silver-grey eyes, making them shine like stars.

What is this person doing to me? He's not even my mate but I can't seem to resist him. Every time he's close to me, I've to hold back myself so that I don't end up doing anything stupid and scare him. I already have a fearsome reputation. I don't want him to avoid me just because he's afraid of me. But.......

Why can't I just resist him...? He's not my mate. It's not right..... But whenever I see his innocent face, it becomes so hard to resist.... And it makes me so mad when he can't remember me.

It was pretty interesting to watch him work. By his sloppy movements, I could tell that it was his first time cleaning, which was really amusing . I couldn't miss the sparkle in his eyes when he finished his work. There was a sense of pride in them..... But he was late. So I ordered him to clean my room. Honestly, there's no need to clean my room. But I just love his presence. I want to breathe his scent.... He sure is driving me crazy. But he doesn't even know that.

"Sneeze~sneeze ~~sneeze"

Nathan's sneezing perked my ears. Having a heightened senses sure has its pros. I forgot he was allergic to cats. There must be cat's hair everywhere in my room.

I got up from my seat and headed towards my room. I just hope he's fine. When I reached my room, I was greeted with the most unexpected sight. There, in front of me was Nathan fully clothed in disposable clothes. A plastic helmet on his head, double masks and a pair of disposable gloves in his hands..... Even with all those protection, he was still sneezing. Not as much as before but still sneezing.

I watched him struggle to clean the room. Sneezing every now and then, he finally got the job done and came to stand in front of me.

This guy..... Doesn't he know how to beg me?

I left the room without a word. Soon I heard footsteps following behind me. I halted in front of my office and so did the footsteps, their owner slightly colliding with my back. I smirked, this fool! He took a few steps away from me as I turned to face him.

"Get my lunch prepared" I said without any emotions in my voice. He nodded.

I looked at him from top to the bottom, "and get rid of your armor"

I was about to turn around but his voice stopped me.

"Alpha, do you want me to prepare the lunch or you want somebody else to do it?" he asked.

I looked at him as if it wasn't obvious. He blinked at me, confused. I raised an eyebrow and gave him an intense stare.

"I got it" he gulped and turned around to leave. Satisfied, I went back to my work.

For a while I was quite engrossed in my work until a knock interrupted me. As expected, it was my Beta.

"The lunch is ready. Please come and have it" his soft voice invited me.

I put my work aside and went with him.

In the dining table, he served me a half burnt omelette . I looked at him to make sure if it was the only thing he was serving me. He didn't move to serve me another plate. His checks were tinted a bit red, probably embarrassed of his poor cooking skills.

Even so he came forward to explain and justify his action. "Alpha, I read that it is good to have light meal once in a while." I looked at him with an expressionless face. He cleared his throat, "I calculated the nutritional value and its just in the right amount. With it, you'll feel more energetic and happy" he smiled at me.

I took a bite. He waited eagerly for my reaction. Man... That was awful! But I didn't show it in my face. He was probably feeling anxious to see me eating without any expression.

"How's it?" I heard his small voice squeak. "Good." I replied even though it felt like I was eating garbage. Why am I even doing this? From the corner of my eyes, I saw him visibly relax.

Then an unwanted person entered the room making me want to kick him out right away. "Alpha, Beta" he greeted casually and sat down next to me. "What's for lunch? I'm starving." he said without realizing my glares boring hole into his skull.

He took the remaining omelette from the plate and ate it. I was so furious that I wanted to beat him to death. That was mine. Nathan made it for me. How dare he? Before I could kick his butt, he choked out." That was so awful. Who made this?" he said as he started to wipe his mouth.

I took a glance at Nathan. He looked crestfallen as if his soul had escaped his body. "It was my first time cooking. I'm sorry I messed up" he looked guilty.

Dylan, I give you two seconds to grab that omelette and toss it in your mouth. I said sternly through the mind link.

Dylan looked at me in shock as realization dawned on him. He didn't waste any time and goggled up the omelette he threw.

"Wow, that was amazing!" he gave Nathan a thumbs up . His face was twisted in a weird smile as if he wanted to gag and smile at the same time. Too obvious!

Nathan looked confused. "But you just spat it a moment ago" he said innocently.

"That's just the way I like to eat. It's more delicious that way" Dylan winked. He's a pro at making things up.

Somehow Nathan didn't look convinced as he turned to me with a determined look. "Alpha, I want you to let me cook for you everyday, till I improve" those words was enough to melt me but my body didn't know how to express it so I stayed silent for a while.

I could see Dylan shaking his head from the corner of my eyes.

"Alright" I approved.

Dylan scoffed. I don't want to die early. If I eat his food everyday, I won't survive to find my mate. Dylan complained through the mind link which I just ignored.

Nathan's smiling face was the only thing that mattered. Everything else was unimportant.
