The Tribrid's Revenge

Chapter 2 Rose

I finished getting everything cleaned up and put away around 2 am and I am completely drained. I don't know how much more my body can take of this. The only good thing that happened today, I wasn't beaten. I know that is only because other alphas are visiting and most of them do not believe in abuse and enslaving other pack members. It's almost like their visit is giving me a break my body very much needs. 

Walking to my room sent a hot, stabbing pain into all of my bones. I was counting the steps to my room to lay down when I was hit with the most mouthwatering smell I have ever smelt, pine trees and freshwater from a creek. Maybe the luna got a new spray to impress the visitors, but I don't care, I just want to go to bed. My eyelids are too heavy to keep open, let alone investigate this delicious smell.

When the door to my room came into sight I couldn't help but run the best I could to the door. All I wanted was to be locked in my safe for the next few hours. I quickly run my fingers through my hair, as I don't have a hairbrush and change into the sack that I have made in to PJs and laid down. That's when I heard the sound of a lock being secured. Alpha Maximus is afraid that I will run in the middle of the night so he had a security lock out on my door so once I'm in for the night I can't get out. But nothing is worse than being a rogue, you will be killed on sight if another pack sees you. 

I laid in bed that night waiting for sleep to consume me, but it never did. All I kept thinking about was the scent that I picked up coming to my room. He is very tall and handsome. He has blonde hair and bright blue eyes that I can see myself getting lost in for hours. I could see through his suit that he has a lot of tattoos that make me want him more.

When I looked at the old alarm clock in my room and saw the time, I knew it was my birthday and that only meant one thing. The scent I picked up was that of my mates. I never thought this moment would come. What if he rejects me? I don't know as much as I should about werewolves but I do know about mates and when you get rejected the pain becomes too much and it has been known to kill wolves. I know for a fact that I will die from rejection. 

I know I'm not the picture perfect mate, I'm too thin and pale. I'm scared of everything and I learned a long time ago to never speak. With my lack of education, I'm not mate material. I now laid there preparing myself for death tomorrow as sleep finally consumed me. I woke up the next morning before my alarm to being punched by alpha Maximus.

"Get up rat, your duties start early with our visitors and I will not have them be disappointed or your beatening when everyone leaves will result in your death." He stated as he stared me in the eyes with the look that he's not lying.

I very quickly got out of bed and put on my normal, brown itchy potato sack from a dress on and ran to the kitch to start breakfast and quickly got to work. By 6:30am I had eggs, bacon, toast, pancakes, and sausage cooked and set out like a buffet. Next I went into the pantry to retrieve the different types of juice we had and started putting them into pitchers when the scent I caught last night hit me and made my heart stop for a split second. My hands began to sweat as I felt a presence behind me, too scared to turn around. 

"How long have you been awake and cooking? By the looks of it, it looks like you started at 3 in the morning." The mystery man spoke with evidence in his voice he's trying to break the ice.

I knew better and knew I had to watch what I say or else I would pay the price for even the smallest slipped up. I'm not even supposed to talk to anyone, especially guests.

"Not long" Was all I said to him and afraid it was too much already. But I could feel the alpha aura pouring off of him and started praying I wouldn't be rude.

"Playing hard to get I see?" He chuckled.

I ignored him and went back to getting the juice set out. Thankfully last night I went already and got almost everything set out so I wouldn't be running around like a mad man this morning trying to get everything done. The smell was making my stomach growl, I hope he doesn't hear it. Once I had everything set out, I figured it was safe to speak.

"Sir, breakfast is ready, would you like me to make your plate for you?" I asked in the most polite way I could.

"I can make my own plate but thank you. Is that what you wear when you cook or is that the only clothing you own?" He asked with a look in his eyes to not lie to him but I had too, I didn't want to die even though my life is so horrible. 

"No sir." Was all I could manage to get out of my mouth. 

"You're lying to me. They smell like that haven't been properly washed and its obvious that was made from the sack that potatoes come in, actually that's the company I get them from." The tone in his voice made me shiver with fear. Not of him but what my alpha was going to do if he brought this up to him.

"I have to go get ready for the day sir, if you'll excuse me." I spoke softly and with respect bowed to him and took my leave. 

Once I was out of the kitchen, I let out the breath that I hadn't realized I was holding. What just happened here? Everyone is cruel to me but yet he had a softness towards me. It's probably the mate bond that's impossible to fight. Who am I kidding, he would never accept me. Just as I was about to open my bedroom door, a large man grabbed my arm and spun me around and pushed me against the wall and I instantly covered my head. The puzzled look on his face did not go unnoticed by me. 

"Is there something wrong with breakfast sir? I can make you something else if you would like?" I was praying to the moon goddess that he wouldn't say anything to how I reacted to him.

"No, it was fantastic! I wanted to thank you and talk to you. I know you feel the mate bond, and I..." I cut him off before he could finish and ran straight to my room. I could not face the fact that he was going to reject me so I hid in my room until I could no longer smell his scent. I know at some point I am going to have to face rejection but not today, not the day or the gala.
