I was so thankful to Ma Olive, no one has treated me the way she did, and I can only give the credit to Aqua. Good things started happening since she arrived, we were overwhelmed, and Olive suddenly asked us to stop working as maids though she said she had still been paying us. My family depends on my salary and she knows that, but I think she got her plans, and I know it’s connected to the Lycan Alpha King and his Betta, my mate. Honestly, I’m tired.
I’m tired of loving him alone and being the only one that will always try to make us work. I know I’m not his standard, I mean a maid for a betta, but then I never choose to be who I am and I don’t think that anything is wrong with it. The scene of his every ignorance like I never existed brings tears to my eyes. He’s just like the Alpha or maybe worse. I could remember my last heating period, it was hell for me, it was so painful that I nearly ran to his door at midnight but who am I kidding?, he has a separate mansion in Alpha Rudolfo’s packhouse and its under restriction as no lowlife like me is allowed in there.
These days I’ve decided to go with whichever plan ma Olive has for me knowing fully well that Ricco does not care, I don’t know how but I can remember vividly back then… the states he normally gives me I wasn’t eighteen then, and finally when I turned eighteen. I was so happy and excited when I found out that he’s my mate, I mean I have a crush on his baby face, the way he carries himself, his manly demeanor has always enticed me making me fall head over heels for him even before I discovered he was my mate, but painfully that fateful day I walk up to him with a smile on my face but what I never expected was the reaction he gave me.
He completely ignored me like I never stood before him to confess my happiness of being his mate, and then it dawned on me, he already knew a long time ago and yet he kept his distance and that means one thing I am not needed in his life. I was shattered. I was broken beyond measure. He never rejected me with spoken words but with action I’m mateless, he’s from a wealthy family related to the King, he’s family doesn’t live in the packhouse but their estate is well known in New York.
I tried once because it wasn’t easy going into their mansion, the day I met his mom she was happy and excited even his siblings but I can only say luck was not on my side, while I was having a happy moment with his family after I told them everything, he came in and unknown to me he decided to visit that day, I was startled when I saw him the look he gave me, his mum tried to talk him out but he shunned her, and right there…. though he never asked me to leave as he stood watching me it’s crystal clear he wanted me out. His family gave him pleading eyes but he wasn’t having it.
“I don’t know why you don’t want me but I’m not here because you’re wealthy, I’ve always loved you even before I found out you’re my mate, that’s why I’m so excited”
That was my line of words as I stood before him that day trying to make him see reasons with me, I was just an ordinary eighteen years old girl who found her mate. But he wasn’t having it as he stood then… watching me I knew it was useless as he kept on eyeing the door and me, I knew I was meant to live, I looked at his family and I realized even though they were rich, he’s word is final they couldn’t do anything. I took a deep such then… after looking at his cold face, I took that as a cue and left, while I was at the door he started yelling at his family for letting me in.
I could remember when I had my first shift my mum nearly cried as she couldn’t bear to see me in pain. She wanted to go to him but I knew it was pointless, so I endured every pain with a broken heart and gritted teeth. Looking back years have passed. I’m no longer that eighteen years old girl and yet he has never taken two glances at me. I tried many relationships but they ended up running away from me for no reason.
While I walk in through that door with Aqua after ma Olive took us our, and I saw him with the Alpha and other important people having a discussion, he gave me that kind of look of years ago, and as I walk towards my room after seeing Aqua, I made a decision to myself, I’m going to get married to whoever ma Olive chooses for me, it’s time for me to stop dreaming about someone who can never me mine, I walk into my room as I walk straight to arrange my clothing in my closet, it has been a long day and I feel like taking a bath. I walked into the bathroom as I pulled off all of my clothing, I got under the shower allowing the cold water to soothe my pain.
I reminisced about all that has happened today, and a smile crept onto my lips for the first time in years. Something good finally happened to me and it’s all because of my dear friend “Aqua”. My thought was suddenly distracted when I heard sounds from my door
“Who’s there!?” I shouted but got no response
“Baby is that you?” I asked, meaning Aqua but got no response. I rinsed off the remaining soap in my body and wrapped a towel around my body. It stopped just below my knees. Knowing it’s Aqua I walked out of the bathroom. I froze on my spot when my eyes came in contact with a Rage filled Ricco, I halted on my step sensing the anger in him
“Who the fuck is baby!?” He yelled, taking slow strides towards me, while I took back.
