Lilith
I licked my lips nervously, masking the fear on my face.
I thought I got all the dust. Now I was going to get caught!
“I was deep cleaning,” I muttered in a shaky voice, burying my hands in my pocket.
“And yes, I slept in my room. I was probably in the toilet with earbuds, so I didn’t hear you.”
“Okay.”
“Next time, don’t bother looking for me.”
“The last time I almost didn’t look for you, you escaped.”
“I’m not escaping again. Why were you even looking for me?”
“I just wanted to wake you up early so that we can finish today’s task quickly. Since you are not fully healed, you can do the easier task.”
A smile formed on my face. “That’s so thoughtful of you. Thank you, but Alpha gave me his permission to stay idle until I am fully healed.
Her head tilted back in shock, and her lips parted wide open. “He did? That is so unlike him. I noticed your presence is unlocking a new side of him. It’s a good thing.” She commended, jumping onto me for a hug.
I winced in pain as her body squeezed against my arm.
“Sorry. I got too excited.”
Before I could speak, the scent of honey and chocolate wafted my nose, pronouncing Alpha Casper’s presence.
“Good morning, Alpha.” We choruses, bowing briefly.
“Did any of you notice another prescription in the house last night?”
My heart almost jumped out of my chest, and sweat broke on my forehead.
I bit my lips, trying to maintain a plain look before the Alpha suspected me.
“No, why?” I asked, folding my arms and feigning shock.
“Someone was on the last floor last night. He is lucky I didn’t slit his throat!” He threatened, clenching his jaws in anger.
I swallowed, running my fingers through my hair.
“I don’t know about that. But can I ask that I go to the hospital today since I’m bored?”
“Why?”
“My mum is sick, and she needs me, plus I want to check on her. It’s been a long time since I did so.” I blurted, chewing on my bottom lip with my eyes pinned to the floor.
I expected him to decline my request since Anna told me that he never let her out of the estate, except on a few occasions.
“Fine. But come back before evening.” He said in an overprotective tone.
“Yes, Alpha. Thank you.” I beamed in excitement, hurriedly dashing to my room to change out of my maid outfit.
Luckily, my gown was washed.
While preparing, I noted that I would visit my mum first before Daphne, take a few of my stuff from my old apartment, and return to the estate.
I got out of the bathroom, peeling off the towel in front of my body before hanging it.
Walking around naked, I blow-dried my wet hair and brushed through the empty wardrobe to get my underwear and my gown.
I was applying cream when the door burst open.
I didn’t bother turning to look at the person who came in. Only Anna was capable of barging into my room.
Perhaps she came to tell me to purchase something for her in the human world. Or maybe she wanted to tag along since she would be bored in my absence.
“Could you please help me rub my back?” I asked, rubbing the cream on my legs without glancing back.
“You said the Alpha doesn’t let you out. Maybe you could tag along with me.” I suggested but was met with silence.
When I was done, I stood erect so that Anna would rub my back where my hands didn’t reach.
But the moment I thought her hands caressed my back, sparks ran through me, it was so intense, that I almost thought I was electrified.
And those hands…they were not as soft and warm as Anna’s.
I turned to look behind me sharply, but I almost collapsed at the sight.
“Alphaaa!” I released a deafening scream before shielding my boobs with one of my hands while the other covered my freshly shaved pussy.
“I’m sorry, I wanted to tell you that you should be careful because of what happened the other day.”
“Get out!” I yelled, irritated as his eyes wouldn’t leave my cleavage.
“I wanted to, but then you told me to help you.” He muttered hurriedly.
“But you are not Anna.”
“I’m sorry, I’ll just leave. Forget this ever happened. I wasn’t here. Shit!” He cursed, groaning as he scurried out of the room.
I rushed to the door, locking it before sitting on the bed.
What the fuck just happened?!
My breathing came out ragged and my insides turned upside down in distress. My heart wouldn’t slow down as it continued to beat loud and fast like war drums.
Alpha Casper just saw me naked!
Fuck!
A blend of feelings rushed through my head. I didn’t know whether to be sad or happy that he couldn’t take his eyes off me.
How did I not know he was the one?
The silence was a sign.
He must have masked his scent before entering.
I wasn’t expecting him. I thought after our disagreement, he would never see me again.
Mortified, I sobbed for some minutes, clutching the sheets over my naked body.
Emotions tore through me and I felt like running away or disappearing, never to be seen again.
How would I even look him in the eyes since we live together?!
I’d definitely be ashamed for the rest of my life.
A knock sounded on my door, making me jerk violently.
“Get out!” I yelled without giving the person the chance to speak.
“It’s Anna. Is this a bad time?” Her voice was laced with confusion.
My breath hitched as I scolded myself.
She was definitely going to throw me a thousand questions.
“Oh…yes.”
“Can I come in?”
*****
Calix groaned inwardly as his phone chimed, disrupting his nap.
“It better be something serious.”
After peeking to check the caller ID, his anger melted like candle wax.
A small smile twisted on his face as he slid on the icon and picked up the call.
“I hope you are making progress and not sitting there doing nothing like a fool!”
“Boss, stop talking like I’m useless.”
“Tell me something to make me change my mind. Are you making progress or should I get someone to do your fucking job?” He growled in anger.
“I’ve got some news,” Calix announced with a frown on his face as he tried to push the insults from his head.
He was sick of his dad ridiculing him and seeing him as worthless.
But the time when he would prove himself worthy was drawing near. Soon, when his father retires, he would become the new Alpha and also the new boss overseeing the trafficking business.
He couldn’t wait.
“Spill!” He roared.
“They’ve got Tim and I think it’s time for him to die. I don’t trust him. He would expose us to that Alpha.”
“You have my support as long as he doesn’t expose me. And what is the news?”
“I’ve done some research on the special girl.”
“Did you find anything?”
“Her name is Lilith Parker and she is working in an estate along the outskirts of the city where she was caught.”
“Good. Keep a close eye on her and ensure that she will be ours!”
