DIANE'S POV
I was sweating profusely as Melody, my younger sister and I were cleaning the large hallway in Alpha Denzel's mansion. We were both wearing blue uniforms worn by all the alpha's maids.
Although we were seven maids in the house, Alpha Denzel, the leader of Starry Night Park assigned the cleaning of the hallway, his room and the Luna's room to only Melody and me.
After some minutes, I stopped mopping the floor and turned to look at Melody who was on her knees and scrubbing the floor. She was also sweating profusely.
For some seconds, I stood watching her, and she was oblivious that I was watching her because her head was bowed and facing the floor as she scrubbed it vigorously.
Within a split second, tears welled up in my eyes cos I hated seeing my sister working so hard. She was 14 years old and I felt that a young girl her age shouldn't be doing such strenuous work.
Melody and I were orphans and we had no other siblings. It was just the two of us and we love and care for each other dearly. Since Alpha Denzel brought us to this house to live with him after the death of our parents, we have endeavoured to do all we can to keep each other happy and we were inseparable.
I felt so sorry for Melody seeing her working so hard at her age and on impulse, I dropped the mop I was holding on the floor beside a bucket of water and started walking toward her.
As I got closer to her, she raised her head and looked at me and we made eye contact.
My eyes swept over her.
Melody's long black hair which was just like mine cascaded over her shoulders. Her lovely pretty round face with shining grey eyes like mine looked angelic as always.
She was a little bit skinny despite she eats a lot unlike me who has a voluptuous body and doesn't eat much.
"Melody, you look tired," I said as she rose to her feet and used the back of her hand to wipe sweat from her brow.
"Yes, I am but I have no choice but to finish my work," she said with a smile.
"Why would you say you have no choice? You have a choice because I am here. If you want to call it a day just tell me and I will do the rest of the work," I said.
"No, Diane, I want to finish my work. You work so hard every day. It will not be fair for me to leave you to do all the work alone," she said.
"Hmmm...the last time I checked, I didn't complain to you that the work is too much for me," I said with a giggle.
"I know you have never complained to me but I know that the work is too much for you and that was one of the reasons I decided to work so that I can reduce your workload aside from the salary I'm earning from it," she said.
"It's okay. After we finish working, I want you to take a shower, have your breakfast, and take a nap. Later in the afternoon, I will take you out to get ice cream," I said smiling.
"Wow...I am so happy to hear that! I have been craving ice cream for a couple of days. I can't wait to have the ice cream!" she said with excitement.
"Are you serious that you have been ice cream for a couple of days?" I asked.
"Yes."
"Melody, I always tell you to open up to me about anything you need. You should have told me that you want ice cream and I would have gotten it for you," I said with slight anger.
"I'm sorry, Diane. I didn't tell you because I didn't want to bother you," she said with a pleading tone.
"Oh, come off it! You should know that I will gladly do anything you want as long as it's within my power. My priority is to make sure you are happy. I want to see you grow up to be a fulfilled and successful woman," I said.
Melody's eyes were filled with tears as she gazed at me. After some seconds, she wrapped her arms around me and hugged me warmly.
"Diane, you have brought so much joy to my life. I can't imagine living without you. You are such an amazing big sister and I want to say I love you so much," she said as she broke into tears and quivered with emotions.
I wrapped my arms around her as I felt her quivering body against mine.
"Melody, it's alright. I love you too. Please, stop crying," I said as my eyes filled with tears.
For a moment, we were wrapped in each other's arms as tears streamed down our faces.
Suddenly, we heard a slight squeak of a door and I turned around to look at which door as my heart started racing.
I prayed in my heart that the person opening the door should be Alpha Denzel and not Luna Morgana, the wicked mate of Alpha Denzel who hates my sister and me with a passion.
Fear gripped my heart as Luna Morgana's door swung open and she stepped into the hallway. Melody and I were still wrapped in each other's arms as Luna Morgana glared at me with her hazel eyes.
"Luna Mor...gana, good mor...ning," I stuttered as my eyes swept over her.
Her long glossy ginger hair cascaded over her shoulders and her oblong pretty face was devoid of makeup. She was wearing a lovely satin pink nightgown.
"Good morning, Luna Morgana," Melody greeted her.
She didn't respond to any of us as she glared at us.
Seeing the anger in her eyes, I didn't need a soothsayer to tell me that there was about to be trouble.
"What is good about the morning, you two little bitches? Diane, why are you and your sister wrapped in each other's arms when you are supposed to be working?" she asked as her eyes blazed with anger.
"We have been working for over an hour. You can see that the hallway is clean. It was because I saw that my sister was looking tired that was why I took a break from work and was talking to her," I replied.
"Shut your filthy mouth, you stupid bitch! You are supposed to be working not talking to your stupid sister," she said with anger.
Instantly, I was filled with anger.
It is noteworthy to mention that I could take any kind of insults from Luna Morgana as well as any other person, however, I can't tolerate anyone insulting or abusing my sister in any way.
"Luna Morgana, with all due respect, please, don't insult Melody. You can insult me as much as you want but I will not condone you insulting my sister!" I yelled.
Luna Morgana's eyes widened with shock as she gazed at me with disbelief.
DIANE'S POV Luna Morgana started walking slowly and elegantly toward me and I quickly wrapped a protective arm around my sister as I glared at her.She walked up to us and for some seconds, we glared at each other."You little thwart! How dare you talk to me like that?" she spat as her eyes burned in fury."All I want is for you to stop insulting my sister..."Without hesitation, she slapped me across the face and I was dazed for a moment as Melody began to cry."You stupid idiot! So you have the nerve to open your filthy mouth to talk rudely to me?" she asked with disbelief.I didn't respond and was gently rubbing my stinging cheek as I glared at her."I have warned you several times never to question or challenge me but it seems you are hard of hearing. Anyway, since you have shown that you are pigheaded, I will show you that I'm the Luna in our pack!" she said with anger.I continued to glare at her as I felt Melody quivering in my arms. I stole a glance at her and her eyes were
DIANE'S POVThe incessant ringing of my alarm clock woke me up from sleep. I stirred for some seconds before opening my eyes. I reached out to the clock and turned off the alarm. I glanced at the time. It was 5:30 a.m.It was a couple of months after my altercation with Luna Morgana and the incident was still fresh in my memory. I remember the incident virtually every day but today, I vowed not to think of it cos it was my birthday. I turned to look at Melody, she was sprawled on the bed and sleeping peacefully.I felt excited because today, I will be turning eighteen and I'm looking forward to my first shift as a werewolf as well as finding my mate.As I gazed at my sister for some seconds, a faint smile spread across my face.Melody and I are orphans and she is the only blood relative I have since our parents were killed in a fierce battle that involved my parents' pack and the Starry Night pack which is my current pack whose leader is Alpha Denzel.I love my sister so much and she
DIANE'S POVI glanced at the wall clock. It was a quarter to six. Alpha Denzel usually calls me on the phone early in the morning on my birthdays to wish me a happy birthday, so, I was expecting his call. However, since he had not called, I decided to go and take a shower.I turned my head to look at Melody and I reached out to pat her hair with a smile on my face. I sat up and my eyes swept across the room.Only Melody and I live in the room. The other maids live in the room next to ours. Although the room was small with decent furniture, Melody and I loved it.The floor of the room was made with ceramic tiles and it was painted white. There was a moderate-sized bed big enough for Melody and me. There was a small TV on a wooden shelf. There was a moderate-sized wardrobe, a large wall mirror, a wall clock, a standing fan, a drawer, a table, and two chairs and blue curtains hanging on the window.The room was located downstairs of Alpha Denzel's mansion where all the staff that works f
DIANE'S POVI went up the stairs into the hallway and my eyes swept down the long hallway which had five rooms. Seven chandeliers hung on the ceiling and there were various types of exquisite artwork which included paintings and sculptures.The first room was Alpha Denzel's room. The second one next to it was Luna Morgana's room, and the three other rooms were the guest rooms.I headed to Alpha Denzel's room and took a deep breath when I got to the door to his room. For reasons I couldn't fathom, I was anxious.My intuition kept telling me that something significant would happen with the Alpha today and I wondered what it could be.I hesitated for some seconds before I rang the doorbell.After a couple of minutes, the door swung open and Alpha Denzel and I made eye contact.His lustrous Sapphire blue eyes looked into my dazzling angelic grey eyes and for a moment, I was held spellbound.He always has this effect on me whenever he looks into my eyes especially when we are close to each
DIANE'S POVAlthough the Alpha told me Luna Morgana was traveling and would not be back till next week, I was worried and nervous. Just the sight of that horrible lady sends shivers down my spine. If she comes back home suddenly and catches me here with the alpha, I'm doomed. I was so filled with anxiety that I decided to ask Alpha Denzel just to be sure that Luna Morgana would not come home unexpectedly. "Alpha, I know you told me before that Luna Morgana is coming back next week but I must admit that I'm afraid she might come home unexpectedly," I said with a worried tone."You don't have to be worried. Morgana went to Bowen to see her sister who is sick and won't come back till next week. I'm very sure about that. Aside from that, she always calls me anytime she travels before coming home, so, babe, we have the whole week to ourselves," he beamed with a charming smile."Alright, if you say so. I just have a feeling that something bad might happen," I said in a whisper."Oh, com
DIANE'S POV"Diane, what are you thinking about?" Alpha Denzel asked.I jolted from my thoughts and gazed at his handsome face."I was watching you and you seem lost in thoughts. I would like to know what you were thinking about?" he asked as he gazed steadily at me."To be honest with you. A lot of things are on my mind. One of the questions bugging my mind is, do we have a future together?" I asked.He was silent for a moment as he gazed at me thoughtfully."Of course we do?" he replied."How can you say that when Luna Morgana is your mate? She is the only obstacle that can prevent us from being together and from the look of things, I don't think she will leave you for any reason," I said."Why are you bothered about that? I have told you that I will reject her as soon as she comes back and make you my Luna," he said."I hope you are not rejecting her because of me cos I must admit that I feel guilty," I said."I have told you before that with or without you, I have the intention to
DIANE'S POVMy eyes widened with shock as Luna Morgana stared at me with a mixture of anger and hatred in her hazel eyes.I was confused and didn't know what to do as my eyes swept over her.She was wearing an expensive-looking blue bodycon dress that accentuated her hourglass figure.Her long glossy ginger hair cascaded over her shoulder and framed her pretty oblong face with heavy makeup.On her ears were dangling Sapphire earrings and around her neck was a Sapphire necklace.On her wrists were Sapphire bracelets. On her feet were beautiful black expensive-looking leather shoes with stiletto heels.Despite my predicament, I must say that she looked beautiful but her beauty pales beside mine.I averted my eyes and saw Alpha Denzel who had covered his nakedness with the towel he had on before.He was standing a few feet from Luna Morgana and he was looking shocked and confused."Oh, my goodness! I can't believe my eyes! Diane, so, you have the temerity to come to the Alpha's room, str
DIANE'S POV Seeing that Alpha Denzel's anger had abated, I took my hands off his wrist and he slowly dropped his hand.Luna Morgana glared at me and said, "Oh, my goodness! So, it has gotten to the point that he now listens to you and he barely listens to me when I talk to him. You even had the temerity to hold him in my presence, huh?" she said in disbelief. "Luna Morgana, I'm sorry if you feel offended that I held the alpha. I only did it to prevent him from hitting you," I said with a pleading voice."Shut your filthy mouth! It seems you forgot that you are nothing but a useless lazy maid and an Omega which is the lowest rank in the hierarchy of werewolf yet you dared to hold the alpha! For you to hold the alpha in my presence without an iota of fear shows that the two of you have been lovers for a long time. Perhaps, before he chose me as his mate," Luna Morgana paused to catch her breath. "You little slut! You think that you have succeeded in worming your way into h
