And when | repeated myself, tears began to form in her eyes and she pouted sadly at the. My heart constricted
in my chest at the fact that | couldn't afford to get my child a stuffed toy because of my circumstance.
“Baby, don’t cry. 1 pro...”
| had been in the middle of my sentence when | smelt it. The familiar, intoxicating scent that | had grown
accustomed to h
the last month.
“Jessy, why don’t you ctellall about this soft bunny and it’s as cool as you say it is then I'll get it for
you.” The Alpha said from his perched position by the doorway and Jessy immediately lit up, scrambling out of
her seat and almost running in his direction.
The Alpha threw a wink my way, stretching his hands in Jessy’s direction so she could hold on to him. The two
were gone in a second, with Jessy babbling about her wonderful bunny and the Alpha completely indulging her
gibberish.

“Did the Alpha just wink at you?” Christie whispered to me, surprise coating her words.
“Did he? | don’t think so.” | responded quickly, moving out of the kitchen and in the direction of the maid
quarters to avoid more questioning.
The moment | pushed open my door, it was to find Emilia shuffling through my drawers. A surge of anger went
through my frupon seeing the maid in that position and it took everything into not grab her by the
shoulders and shake her violently.
“What are you doing?” | suddenly asked and the maid jumped in her spot, obviously not expecting to see me
there.
The maid fumbled in her spot and she looked like she had been caught with her hand in soup.
Upon second look | realized that the maid looked really stressed out, there were black circles under her eyes and
she looked) really tired and jittery, like she had not been sleeping properly.
“Nothing.” She responded and that added to my fury.
-“Nothing? Emilia what are you even doing in my room in the first place? And | just caught you shuffling through
my drawers and you wantto believe that you're doing nothing here?” | asked, not even bothering to hide the
anger in my voice.
And Emilia’s features hardened at this point, gone was the scared and jittery mess that had stood in front of me
sminutes before. Emilia’s eyes darkened and the bitter snarl that | had always associated with the woman
appeared once again.
“Well Freya. | wouldn't be here rummaging through your stupid drawers if you weren't such a creep and the
biggest thief | have ever met.” She responded and | frowned.
“What the hell are you talking about?” | asked, frowning even more at her harsh words.
“This, I'm talking about this Freya.” The other maid responded, pulling the pink scrunchie that | had found in the
garden sweeks back, out of her pockets.
That scrunchie had been the result of many sleepless night and a source of worry for me.
Asides from that day when | had seen that scrunchie and the mud stains that had been found on the floor early

Although | had never seen the maid after the first time, there were times that | could smell herdingering scent in
the air whenever | returned from the Alpha’s room early in the morning
| had considered reporting her strange actions and behaviors to the Alpha on several occasions but | couldn't be
sure of the situation and | didn’t want to start something that could probably get out of control. Plus, | really did
not want to get her
into trouble.
“Well, guess whose drawers | found my scrunchie that has been missing for weeks? Yours Freya, syours that
| found the Alpha’s pictures. Is there really a problem here? Do | need to report to the Alpha that we have a thief
in our midst?” Emilia snarled, her voice raising a tempo higher.
That snapped the last straw of patience that | had to deal with the maid.
