-DOSSAM-

After mom leaves, I get lost in the books and when I remember that I have to show up for dinner, it's too late. I check myself in the mirror to see if I look presentable and then leave my room. I could see people have already resembled downstairs and started eating. The mouthwatering scent of dishes floats in the air and I realize how late I am.

Mom will kill me for this and certainly, the Luna won't like it if I walk in while everybody is eating. There's no way I could sneak in without having all the hundreds of pairs of eyes focused on me. The moment I climb down, everyone's gonna know.

Suddenly, I get an idea and go back into my room. I take out several bedsheets from my cupboard and tie them together to make a long rope. Next, I tie one side my makeshift rope to the bedpost that was nearer to the window and throw the remaining rope out of it.

Taking a deep breath, I climb out of the window and hold my makeshift rope in my hands so tightly as if my life depends on it because it really does. If I fall from the second floor then nothing will be left of me and since I am a human, it could be fatal for me.

Slowly, I slip down the bedsheet and sight deeply when my feet touch the ground. Without thinking next, I sprint towards the back door of the pack house and enter as quietly as I could manage. There are hundreds of werewolves in this house with heightened senses which makes it hard for a human like me to sneak in but somehow, I manage and do a victory-dance mentally.

After making sure that no one saw me sneak in through the back door, I run like a chicken to the kitchen. I hope my plan really works. I sneak in the kitchen and see the cooks in the middle of cooking a storm for this dinner.

"Hey Dorothy, do you need help?" I ask the head cook trying to look innocent and batting my eyelashes at her only hoping that somehow she falls for my charm. She raises an eyebrow at me and places a hand on her hips while examining me from head to toe.

"What did you do this time?" She asks sternly and I roll my eyes at her. I thought I was getting better at charming people.

"I am late for dinner and if I go there now, Luna will probably kill me." I blurt out honestly. She nods and hands me an apron.

"We want an extra hand anyway." She says and I give her an ear to ear smile but when I see her hand me serving spoons, I look at her in shock. "You're going to serve this dish." She says handing me a serving tray with a delicious looking dish in it.

"But why can't I work in the kitchen?" I asked sounding like a five-year-old complaining for not getting enough candies. I am just one step away from throwing a tantrum this very moment.

"Because last time you messed up big time." She says crossing her hands on her chest and I kind of agree with her. Last time, I did put salt instead of sugar in the pie but... but it wasn't my fault! I swear someone swapped the tags of the sugar and salt jars.

Without complaining anymore, I take the dish that I was supposed to serve and step out of the kitchen. As soon as I step inside the dining hall, I feel a heavy tension build up in the air. My heart flutters in my chest like a caged bird and my stomach churns while a thousand butterflies burst into it. Suddenly, I am so conscious about my surrounding especially a particular presence that sits just beside the Alpha.

My eyes instantly find him, sitting by the Alpha, joined by the Blonde lycan. His eyes are already on me and the intensity of heat that radiates off them is going to leave scorch marks on my skin. I forget how to breathe looking back at him. It's a surprise how I have managed to walk without tripping over and falling and make fun of myself.

Since I am supposed to serve the Alpha first, I go to him. He offers me a kind smile while I serve him the dish. Next, I move to the Luna, who's sitting right next to him. She c***s an eyebrow at me and I could literally hear her say 'don't mess up this time.'

After serving her, I move to the other side of the table and feel that same surge of power and dominance as I near the blond Lycan to serve the dish. My breath comes out short and suddenly, my hands get shaky.

My legs seem to be made up of jelly and I seem to lose control over my body. I feel him close behind me as I turn my back at him and serve the blond lycan. He offers me a smile as soon as I am done serving him. I somehow manage to return him a weak smile and turn around, dreading what's going to happen next.

Calm down, Dossam. Just don't mess up, I tell myself. I take several deep breaths before serving him. Standing so close to him, I am surprised how I haven't managed to succumb to nothing yet due to the power oozing off him.

My hands are visibly shaky but I try not to show it off. As I serve him, I feel his hot breath blow on my arm, making me shiver. I clutch the serving spoon harder in my hand due to the effect that he is having on me. My heart is racing a thousand miles per hour in my chest and mouth is dry. I gulp as I continue to serve him.

I sigh internally when I am done serving him. I thank god and feel proud for not making fun out of me by tripping or making a mess while serving.

But I was wrong. So very wrong.

When I was about to turn away and walk to the next occupant on the table, I feel his hand lightly brush my arm. I feel zaps of electricity shoot throughout my body, emanating from the skin contact. It was so strong that I lost control over my body and ended up knocking the serving tray...

on him.

Fvck!
