Sold To My Alpha Mate

MAYA.

“M-maybe.” I replied, trying very hard to mimic what a lowly maid would feel bumping into the Prince on her first day at work. It wasn’t that hard because I’d been this way at a point in my life. I didn’t want to remember those times.

“But I’m just a maid and you’re a Prince.” I said. He smiled as he stared down at me.

“Well, you’re in luck. Is this your first day here?” He asked, breaking the silence that was already taking over.

Emily stood there, watching the whole thing. She looked like she was in some sort of trouble. I nodded, “Yes. My friend and I just started today. I’m sorry for bumping into you. I didn’t mean to. I’m sorry.” I bowed curtly, making sure I looked so pitiful.

The Prince chuckled again. His deep-voice chuckled sounded like music to my ears. He was the definition of Alpha genes. Everything about him just seemed dominating. And he had a very deep aura that anyone could feel.Original from NôvelDrama.Org.

“I can imagine. The Packhouse can be quite intimidating at first, but I’m sure you’ll both do great.” He reassured me, yet I was anything but reassured. I just wanted to get out of here as soon as possible.

“And you don’t have to apologise for bumping into me. I guess we both didn’t see it coming, but watch where you’re going next time.” He said with a hint of warning in his voice. I nodded and thanked him with a smile before walking back into the laundry room, reeling from the unexpected interaction.

The warmth of his presence lingered in my mind, but it was quickly overshadowed by the shift in his last tone. I was happy but I hoped that I hadn’t gotten any sort of attraction from him because if that was the case, then this was going to be a very hard time for me. I couldn’t imagine the Prince breathing down on my neck every now and then.

I was supposed to be here for a week, or a bit more, depending on when I got to finish the mission. I thought about him knowing my scent and catching me with it when I sneaked into the Packhouse. I was just so worried about every single possibility. Now I understood why Tianna had been worried the whole day before the interview.

I was beginning to see her own side of the story and honestly, I didn’t blame her for it at all. She was right to be worried about what we could face. Now, I had just gotten a taste of it, and my nerves were on fire. She was already ironing clothes when I walked in. Her eyes sparkled when she saw me.

“How did it go? Did you meet new people?” She asked, her eyes still focused on the clothes she was ironing. I sat down on the counter beside her.

“You won’t believe what happened Tianna. I bumped into the Prince!” I announced. Her head served sharply towards me and her eyes instantly widened. She was in shock as I calmed and told her the rest of the story.

“He spoke to you?” She asked. Her voice was barely above a whisper. I nodded, and felt a k of form in the pit of my jelly-feeling belly.

“Yes, he asked if I was a new maid, and then he told me to watch my way. But before that, he asked if we could see some other time.” I replied, feeling genuinely worried now.

“Well, isn’t it too early to flirt. He might be pulling your legs, you know? Maybe he wants to find out what kind of maid you are. But that’s not totally what I suspect. It could be… genuine.” She said. “You’re stunning, Maya. And he could be interested in you which is not a good thing if we are going to get this done.” She said, shaking her head. I nodded,. mirroring the worry that was going inside my mind now.

“That’s exactly what I thought when he said that. I knew he must be pulling my legs. I have no idea if he was being genuine, but I have to make sure he never sees me again.” I said with a voice full of worries. She nodded and replied.

“So, you broke the first rule. You got noticed, not even by the maids but the Prince himself. Wow.” She exclaimed, and that’s when I thought about it. Alpha werewolf had supernatural hearing abilities. The thought sent another bolt of shock running through me. K hoped that wasn’t true because if it was the case then we had a lot to worry about.

“It’s bad, isn’t it?” I asked her and she nodded before going back to work. I crossed my hands in front of my chest then got off the counter before walking to the fresh clothes that had been brought in.

The end of our shift was getting close and I couldn’t wait to get out of this place very soon. With what had happened, it seemed I would be avoiding the main Packhouse for a while else I was going to hide my scent and that would waste more time.

I knew I had to write another letter for Venom to let him know I was safe because he might be truly worried about me right now. I could only imagine what must be going through his head. As soon as I started ironing, the door opened and Emily walked in.

“Rose. Cam i have moment with you?” She asked. Her voice was so stern and I felt apprehensive immediately. Tianna looked concerned as I followed Emily out of the room into the hallway. She led me to a secluded corner where we could speak in private.

“Rose, I need to warn you to be very careful.” She began heatedly.

“I won’t have you punished because this is your first time. But I hope you learned your lesson today.” She said.

“It was unprecedented.” I replied tersely but she retorted.

“You are a maid here. You should not be seen under any circumstances speaking with anybody of royalty. Do you understand me?”
