“Oh no, not again? It's that b***h Coco. I muttered.
“You know her?” Lottana asked.
“Yes, I do. Good to see you again, Coco” I greeted my high school rival, Coco, politely.
Coco and I studied at the same high school. She hated me and was a constant bully, always looking for ways to publicly humiliate me at every opportunity.
“Good to see you too, Rose!” She guffawed with fake cheer infused in her voice.
I know those antics everywhere. Her gestures are fake as f**k.
She walked to my end and hugged me tightly, really tight. I started feeling dizzy and was about to withdraw from the hug when she whispered into my ears. “You stupid b***h, how on earth did we cross paths again? You will regret ever coming here.”
Shivers ran down my spine like a race car on a highway.
“That's enough. I don't have time for this. You shall continue your reunion later.” Lottana bellowed, breaking us up. I gasped for air as I watched Coco return to Lottana's arms.
Lottana commanded Coco to show me to my room. I wanted the ground to open and swallow me at that point. I knew instantly that there would be trouble.
“Follow me,” Coco commanded, smirking mischievously.
We climbed up the stairs and walked down the hallway to the end. There was a door at the end of the hallway.
“Here we are,” Coco jeered as she opened the door.
“It's pretty dark,” I yelled agonizingly.
Coco pushed me down the stairs of the dark room and burst into laughter. “Haha, just like the good old days. You gullible piece of s**t! Does this part of the mansion look like it's for someone like you? Hahaha, your room is in the maid's quarters, the very first one. Peasant!”
That's it, I'm going to rip out her throat.
“Coco you evil b***h!” I shouted, storming up the stairs, but Coco was quicker. She shut the door and cackled devilishly. “Help! " Help.” I banged my fists on the door, the dust on the door forming a mist on my face.
I sneezed and wheezed till my eyes turned red. I covered my nostrils with my palm and continued banging on the door.
“Are you okay? " "What are you doing there?" "That's the basement,” Anita asked as she opened the door.
“Coco happened,” I replied as I struggled to catch my breath.
“But why would she do such a thing?” she furrowed her brow in confusion.
“We go way back to high school.” I stammered, still feeling the effects of the dust I inhaled. I can taste it, yuck!
“Don't let me bug you with questions, come I'll show you your room.” Anita helped me up and we went downstairs.
We headed straight to the maid's quarters, and Coco was right. My room was the first room in the maid's quarters.
“Thank you so much, Anita.” I thanked her for helping out.
*********
A week passed by like a wind blowing through a tree. By this time, I had already gotten accustomed to my new life as a maid.
Anita and I also got very close during that period. She became my confidant. Turns out I wasn't the only one with so much hatred for Lottana .
Anita's pack got ransacked by Lottana, and she was forced to be his concubine just so she could survive. It makes me wonder how many more people in this mansion had a hidden hatred for Lottana.
“Alpha Lottana has requested that everyone be present in the living room to welcome his son, Marcus,” the guard declared.
“Alright, I'll be there in a few minutes,” I dropped the cleaning utensils in the storage unit just below the stairway and joined everyone else in the living room.
In walked a young man with broad shoulders and a nice jawline. “Marcus”. Everywhere fell silent as Lottana embraced his son.
“He has some striking resemblance with Lottana. I hope he is different from his father.” I sniggered.
“Sorry to disappoint you, Rose, but he is a carbon copy of his father,” Anita whispered, leaving me to welcome Marcus.
Marcus had a nice, or should I say perfect, jawline; I couldn't help but stare at him. My mind went blank when he caught me staring at him. He smiled moderately and turned to his father.
“My son Marcus just successfully defeated and conquered the Crescent Moon Pack. We’ll be having a party tonight to celebrate his victory,” Alpha Lottana declared.
We started the preparations for the party, and it was done after some long hours of working. All that is left is for Lottana to signal the commencement.
Several of Lottana's friends from different packs came to celebrate with Lottana and his son, Marcus.
Lottana got the party started with a toast to Marcus' victory, and the merriment began. It got loud really fast, people were talking simultaneously whilst the music played at a moderate volume in the background.
In no time, I and the other maids began asking what the guests would like to have. We moved from the kitchen to the hall concurrently; the other maids found it easy because most of them could shift, so they used their wolf occasionally.
I started feeling tired and stressed after about an hour. I stopped in the kitchen to catch my breath while the other maids continued working mindlessly.
I returned after gathering some energy from my little rest.
The maids were being touched inappropriately by the male guests and the maids didn't complain or retreat. Some were already riding the guests, half-naked. I felt bile crawl up my throat as I saw Lottana and his son doing the same thing.
“Hey, you! " Come get a hold of this.” One of the guests flashed his manhood at me, smacking his lips con
stantly.
“She's off limits, perverts.” Lottana stepped in before anything else transpired.
