OLIVIA
I rolled on the bed and opened my eyes as I felt a hot gust on my shoulder. I let out a loud squeal when I saw Alpha Damon seated comfortably right in front of my bed like he had been there, doing nothing but staring at me.
When did he come here and why is he seated there? “I thought you were not going to wake up again” he mumbled after clearing his throat.
I mentally facepalmed myself. I only wanted to rest a little but I ended up sleeping for long which I didn’t plan to.
“Good afternoon Alpha” I greeted, collecting myself. “Do you like your room? Is there anything you want to change?” he pointed out, ultimately disregarding my greeting.
What more could I want when I already have a nice room? It’s fully furnished with all the basic things I will need while I am here and two times larger than my storage room back in my uncle’s house.
I have never had a bed in my room but I do now, that’s more than enough for me. I shook my head in reaction.
“I am okay with the room, thank you Alpha” I sat on my bed in awkwardness, primarily because he was the Alpha, and also, I had nothing to say to him.
“And your assistant?” he asked. My mouth formed an ‘oh’ the moment he said that and for some reason, my heart began beating faster in fear.
I almost forgot for a moment those things Zania told me. My new assistant’s name is Claire, although she’s young, she’s the head of maids and also Alpha Damon’s On-call.
She’s at the beck and call of the Alpha and the only maid who is intimate with him. Zania told me she’s absolutely ominous and since Alpha Damon chose her over the rest to warm his bed anytime he wanted, she thought she would be promoted to the position of his mistress but I took the position.
She wouldn’t like me! She will think I stole what was presumed to be hers and detest me because of that. Alpha Damon twinkled his fingers in front of me, bringing me back to reality.
After spending a day with him, I learned how to control my thoughts so that he wouldn’t hear them. He only does it when I am tense or let my guard down.
“I uh… I didn’t meet her when I came, I was told she went to get some things outside the tower” I responded. Alpha Damon stared at me for a while without saying anything which was making me uneasy with his gaze.
If he already has someone that will satisfy him sexually, why did he bring me here? And why will he designate the same person to me?
I was happy I evaded trouble, I am not mentally stable for it right now. “I thought you already met, try and get along with her, she is nice” he vouched.
At that point, I wanted to sneer at him but I couldn’t. I can tell that he has something going on with her for him to say that she’s nice.
My head felt pudgy all of a sudden while my heart twisted in jealousy. I wasn’t jealous because there’s another woman in his life but the fact that he seems to care about her.
I feel like I might be tossed even before the one year of our agreement elapses. If that happens, where do I go to? I will become a laughingstock to my uncle and his family.
Going back there will be a nightmare for me.
Before I spoke of the one-year term to Alpha Damon, I believe that by then, I would have thought of what to do with my life.
I will also find my mate so I won’t have to go back there. Karen will torment my soul since he chose me instead of her. I will die before I get to live suitably.
I balked as I felt a hand on my thigh. Alpha Damon was gaping at me with a furrowed eyebrow, expecting me to say something but I didn’t.
“What are you thinking about so intently in my presence? You blocked me from listening to your thoughts” he mentioned.
Not knowing what to say, I vowed my head. “Do you want to go back to your uncle?” he threw the question at me. I shook my head and waved my hands in front of him with my eyes dilated.
I’d rather stay here no matter what than go back to hell. Even if here becomes hell for me, I will still prefer it to go back to the highest level of it.
“Is there anything that you want to say?” he inquired, again. I bucked up at him this time around, opening my shaky mouth to ask the question that had been dawdling on my mind since I learned of Claire this morning.
“My assistant, why did you choose her for me?” I asked. He shrugged his shoulders while crossing his legs together.
“She will take care of you better, there’s no one I can trust with you except her” my shoulders sprawled upon his reply. But then, there could be a possibility that Zania falsified those lies to me.
Again, why would she do that? She had no reason to! Or was it to scare me away? That also couldn’t have been the case.
I sighed and fidgeted with my fingers, I will get to find out the kind of person she is, why am I worried about her? She wouldn’t be as bad as my sister, Karen, would she?
“I knew you could take care of yourself before assigning you an assistant. I won’t always be around, which means that you will need the use of other companies in the tower” he paused
“I have known her since we were kids, Claire is nice to everyone. She doesn’t have a problem” he added the last part and I could see his eyes soften when he talked about her.
My head was about exploding with lots of thoughts in it, there were things I shouldn’t be thinking about. Whatever and whoever Alpha Damon likes shouldn’t be of any concern to me.
We only have a mutual agreement due to his generosity after he bought me as a slave and this is my second day with him so, why does my chest feel tight? Why does it hurt when he is just talking about another she-wolf?
What is this uncomfortable feeling?
