Maid for the alpha

CHAPTER4

It was absurd how someone could go from being a normal maid to being a hot wet mess in torn pantyhose.

Imogen was on the verge of running after the Alpha...she had to physically stop herself from doing so.

Steadying her breath, she slowly stands from her kneeling position, knowing fully well that she has to get up and leave this place before anyone sees her.

As quickly as she could, she straightened out her dress and picked up her mop cap that had fallen off her head while simultaneously running her hands through her messy hair, before sprinting towards the maid's quarters

On getting there, she holds her breath as she pushes the double doors open, quietly praying that no one else would be in there

"Thank goodness," she says as she walks into the room to find out that she was the only one present

She goes ahead to undress, after which she proceeds to the washroom to take a much-needed shower. After taking a quick shower, she stealthily walks out of the washroom and creeps right into her bed.

Imogen lays in bed, staring up at the ceiling, while contemplating going to find the Alpha but finally decides that it is best not to.

"Why would he do this?" She asks herself, fiddling with the silk bed linen

She felt like screaming in frustration but instead, she closed her eyes and willed herself to sleep.

Unfortunately, sleep eluded her as he was all she could think of when she closed her eyes.

This was the very first time she had seen him up close and in the light. He was breathtakingly handsome. He had dark thick hair which was styled to perfection and his eyes were enchanting. They were a perfect green color... the most beautiful eyes she had ever seen... and his lips...

Her eyes flung open as she began to feel wetness pool between her legs

"Ugh" she groaned in frustration

She couldn't stop twisting and turning restlessly in bed

She needed him desperately...

"My fingers hurt from washing pots and pans all day"

"Was this ball really necessary"

"She's so spoiled"

"How old is this girl again?"

Imogen was in no way, shape, or form bothered by the endless complaints from her fellow maids as they returned to the quarters at noon.

After all, she had not experienced any of the things the girls were complaining about. If anything, she wished they could be quiet.

However, the only thing other than her mate that bothered her at the moment was the pair of eyes that were currently boring holes into her skin.

She had been trying her best to ignore the judgmental stares, none other than Griselda had been giving her since the close of work.

Although she had seen this coming, given that she had been casually laying on her bed as the others came in, she was by no means in the mood for it, neither was she in the mood for whatever it was that Griselda had to say as she approached her bedside

"You came back in here after I left" Imogen let out a frustrated groan, her palms sliding up to cover her face as Griselda spoke to her

She was already feeling very frustrated after her encounter with the Alpha and she so wished to be left alone, curled up on her bed for the rest of the night. But of course, Griselda was not aware of any of this

"While we were working our asses off all day, you were in here sleeping" she continued, standing with both arms at akimbo as if she was ready for a fight.

Even though Imogen was not in the mood to talk, she knew she had to shut this down quickly as Griselda was not exactly being quiet and was starting to draw the attention of other maids

"I was permitted. I am unwell" Her voice was merely above a whisper as she replied, making her lie even more believable

Well, it was not a lie, she had been permitted by Hans after all

"I see" was Griselda's next comment followed by an almost inaudible

"feel better" before she stalked away.

Imogen let out a sigh of relief she didn't realize she had been holding. The last thing she wanted was to get into any form of trouble in the House of Horez, especially now that she had been rejected by her mate who was the Alpha... she let out another frustrated groan and buried her face into her mattress.

She knew she could be easily thrown out of here and she did not want that...

Where would she go?

The loud chatters of the other maids slowly faded as deep thoughts clouded her mind...

It felt like her whole life was spiraling out of control.

She vividly remembers the conversation she had with her mother during the last full moon. She remembers it like it was yesterday...

"Your mate is your destiny" her mother had told her

She scoffed

"Indeed" If only her mother was here to witness how she had been treated by her mate the first day they met... how she had been rejected...

Tears stung her eyes as she realized that she would never see her parents again.

Yes, they were omegas and they had nothing... they lived poorly, they did not have luxuries, heck they barely even fed... but at least they had each other

Now she had no one... she was all alone

She remembered the night that her life took an unexpected turn.

The night she came home to meet ashes... the night her parents had been burnt alive in their tiny home.

A lot of Omegas had been killed that night and till this day she did not understand why...

They had always been on their own... they never rebelled, never went against any rules...

They were just killed for no reason.

Sometimes she secretly wished she hadn't gone to the neighboring village to stay with her friend Kattie for the weekend... she wished she had stayed at home that weekend...

Closing her eyes tightly, she forces the images of that night to go away

She so wished that the Alpha would accept her... she longed to be accepted by him...

Her entire being needed her mate.
