THE WITCH AND HER QUADRUPLET AlPHAS

HAPPY BIRTH/DEATH DAY

Rose's awakening the next morning was a hurried affair, the events of the previous day weighing heavily on her mind. How had she stumbled into a den of werewolves? The creatures had vanished from existence a century ago, banished after a cataclysmic battle with witches—her late mother rumored to have played a pivotal role.

She Hurriedly went over to take her bath by simply following other maids, the bathroom had several rooms so each servant could go in one at a time. After taking her bath she felt she could finally return the clothes she had gotten from Jamie's lab to him while going to clean their rooms.

She put on the new uniform she had gotten from the old cranky Bready. Miss Bready gave her two uniforms, the first was a simple sky blue gown for regular days while the second was a black, quite short skirt with a white short sleeve shirt with buttons from top to bottom.

Her role for today has been properly spelt out, just serving of drinks to the expected guests. She still didn’t know what to expect in a werewolf party. If the fairy tales were true then the last thing she wanted is for them to know she’s a witch.

Entering the common area, Rose was met with mocking laughter from Bready, the matron of the female quarters. "Wow, perfect dress bunny, try not to get blood over it after the party tonight". Said Bready the head of the female quarters in a taunting and annoying voice.

Rose couldn't help but take note of the warning, she really had to avoid getting any attention in the party till she was able to make an escape plan out of there.

As she moved through the house, marveling at its magnificent structures, Rose encountered Isabel, her savior from the previous day.

"Yeah this is the girl I was telling you about," she said holding onto Rose’s hands with a bright smile on her face as usual and drawing her closer to a male servant who was with her.

"Rose meet Jake, he's a friend. Jake, Rose", she said gesturing her hands towards Rose and Jake.

“She's by far the most beautiful girl I've seen, although I haven't seen many other girls since I've been caged in Molok's house for years,” Rose thought.

Jake looked gentle and friendly despite the look of shock on his face after he was introduced to Rose. He had black short hair, brown skin and brown eyes with a round face.

"Nice to meet you Mib, we'll all get to do some catch up later in the day after the party, right?" Jake asked with eyes totally focused on Rose, waiting for an answer.

She could sense the anxiety from the look on his face and not wanting to be a heartbreak queen so soon, she agreed to his plan especially after feeling the need to also gather much info about this place before making her next move.

They hurriedly went on to carrying out their respective tasks of the day. Rose was assigned in the crew serving food and preparing the tables for the guests while Jake was also serving drinks but on the male team. The male servants were in charge of serving female guests while the female servants where to serve the male guests.

Assigned to the crew serving food and arranging tables, Rose found her task simpler than the day prior. Emulating her peers, she navigated the halls with ease, marveling at the opulence of her surroundings while trying to avoid getting into any trouble. The best way she could do that was to avoid serving much guests, just let the other maids do the job.

Before they could get to their duty posts, some guests were already in the house, most of which slept there last night. The male guests were dressed in cooperate wears with suits and ties while the female guests had the most beautiful types of gowns she had seen, with several designs and colors. The whole house was so beautiful that it didn't even need to be decorated for the event.

She kept walking slowly around observing every furniture and fittings in the house, completely filled with awe. Her day was going very well until she felt a nudge at her back and heard a calming familiar voice whisper in her ears.

"Aren't you going to pour some drink for me pumpkin". Those words immediately sent chills down her bones and a sudden rise in her heartbeat rate.

She turned around to see Jamie dressed in a finely designed black suit, white button-up shirt and a blue bow-tie to match his darting blue eyes. His gaze fixed upon her with a magnetism she found impossible to resist. Quickly composing herself to hide any of the feelings that were choking her deep down, She replied him with a faint smile, "if you had asked using my name, I would have done so, Master Jamie".

He chuckled, "please just call me Jamie, I'm not like my brother Reece. And now that you've mentioned it, what's the gorgeous name?" He said stretching out his glass towards her.

Averting his gaze, Rose filled his glass with trembling hands, their exchange laden with unspoken tension. Despite her resolve, her cheeks were already heating up.

"The name is Mibel, flirt." If there was one thing Rose was terrible at, it was controlling her little mouth, if the stories she has heard about werewolves were true then she should be trembling on her feet.

"Okay Pumpkin, if you say so," he said still keeping the smile on his face on. "You've met my brothers, Lemar; the oldest with the nearly bald head, Reece I'm sure you already know him and Dante; he'll also come along soon".

For a second she wondered why the introduction, "does every servant get this same treatment?" She asked him. “Maybe that's why Isabel is so jolly.” She thought.

It seemed her question also caused him some choking of his own as he let out a slight cough then quickly gulped down the remaining drink. "No, only the ones that mysteriously appear in our basement".

"Great to meet you but I have work to do right about now," she said to him immediately turning away without looking back, resisting the urge to look at his cute face once more and moving to the next room which was filled with even more guests.

As Rose navigated through the bustling room, she couldn't shake the lingering impression of Jamie's charm. Despite her attempts to focus on her duties, thoughts of him lingered, sparking a whirlwind of questions about their potential connection.

She thought that unlike the others, Jamie seems very nice and also good looking. “What if he is my prince charming I’ve been dreaming of? Does he even find me attractive or is this how he goes about flirting with different maids? Maybe I should consider staying here a little longer to find out.” She thought for a moment.

Before she could delve deeper into her musings, a piercing scream shattered the air, sending shockwaves through the room. "Ahhhhhh! It's the Alpha, someone has poisoned his drink, somebody get help!" A lady screamed holding on to an incapacitated old man.

Panic swept through the room and there was sudden chaos in the room instantly, people rushing in and out of the room while Rose stood there, frozen in place with her gaze fixated on the glowing red eyes of the dying man, it was like nothing she had even seen before.

Her attention was eventually drawn from the Alpha when Reece rushed into the room with is green eyes now glowing blue just like the Alpha. Turning backward to face her, she could see the immense rage in his eyes and his bones cracking as he immediately shifted into a monster.

The beast which was now in Reece’s place immediately lunged towards her but Jamie out of nowhere was able to shove him off just in time while he was still in flight towards her and Lemar immediately rushed and turned into a beast too, holding Reece against the wall.

Still standing starstrucked and unable to figure out what to do next, Jamie seized her by the hair, his grip unyielding as he dragged her away from the fray.

She tried shaking his hands off her hair but his grip and hands were just too strong so she couldn't help but scream out loud as he kept dragging her along with no sign of concern or remorse in his body language.
