I hated to be late on my first day at work. I got up early and got ready. I didn't want to ruin my life again, as I'd stupidly lost the only money I'd had, which Alpha Bolin had given me. This job could be my last shot at a new start in life, and I can't afford to ruin it as well. Observing myself in the mirror, the uniform fit me well, showcasing the curves of my skinny body after barely getting any meals back at my uncle's home.I left the room and stood in the hallways, waiting on Cavia. Upon seeing me, Cavia wished me a good morning, and I followed her to the staffroom, where she introduced me to the employees. Later, she paired me with Lovely, a dark pixie-haired she-wolf who appeared to be the same age as me, to clean the largest master bedroom upstairs.As Pixie and I dusted the master room, she said, "I know a lot of people around here; why is this the first time I'm seeing you?" "Are you from a different pack, dwelling here with your mate?""No." I dusted the wall.Not satisfi
"Welcome home, Alpha Bolin and Luna Addison," Cavia greeted them at the door.Alpha Bolin walked through the door, and his dark eyes immediately went to me at the back, as if he'd sensed my presence the moment he stepped in. My heart raced fast when she saw me, and faster when his stare turned bitterly ice-cold. Terrified, my gaze swiftly shifted from him to his Luna, Addison, my evil cousin, and I felt a sharp pain in my heart to see her stand so close to him with a hand wrapped around his arm. I lowered my gaze to the floor, wanting to leave the hall badly.If I'd known he and Addison would be here, I would never have taken the job. I wish I had asked more about the job rather than desperately taking it without caring who my boss was.My attention remained on the floor as Alpha Bolin and Addison made their way upstairs and I shook nervously, still sensing the alpha's ice-cold stare lingering on me as he walked away. He hated that I was here.As everyone left the hallway and returned
Tears ran down my cheeks as I cut the roses, utterly torn apart. Suddenly, I heard footsteps behind me, and I immediately wiped my tears before turning around with the bouquet of twelve roses. I was then surprised to see a dark-haired male with hazel eyes standing before me. He wore a dark blue suit, a shiny silver watch, and a dark shoe. With a hand in his pocket, he gave me a friendly smile. His teeth are beautifully white, and I can't help but notice how attractive he is.Observing his formal attire, I said nervously, "Good evening," and quickly spun around to walk away."Do you know what a white rose represents?" The strange man stopped me. His voice was warm and friendly.With my back facing him, I studied the roses in my hands. They're so white, beautiful, and free from stains."No, sir," I said, spinning around to face him."Please don't call me, sir." He smiledHe's more handsome when he smiles, and I cannot resist staring more at him."You haven't a clue who I am, don't you?"
Addison's eyes widened shockingly to see me. Vyke gave a warm smile, and Alpha Bolin gave me the coldest stare that sent a shiver up my spine. I swear that I could hear him growling at me in my mind, urging me to exit his home immediately.I unfroze and quickly walked to the table to place down the bowl of gravy and basket of breadsticks so I could get out of there immediately.As I placed each item down, I could feel Alpha Bolin's icy stare penetrating my skin, causing my chest to tighten and making it difficult to breathe. My fingers stiffened, and the gravy bowl tilted, spilling all over Addison's. Abruptly Addison sat up and screamed, looking down at her now ruined stylish pink dress."I'm so sorry." I apologized, freaking out at the mess I'd created.Angrily, her attention swung to me."You did it on purpose because you're jealous of me," Addison shrieked, and I fearfully shut my eyes as she raised a hand to slap me across the face.It's not the first time Addison has tried to hit
I was hurt; tears ran down my cheek as I cut the roses. Suddenly, I heard footsteps behind me. Immediately, I wiped my tears and spun around with the bouquet of twelve roses. I was surprised to see a dark-haired male with hazel eyes standing before me. He wore a dark blue suit, a shiny silver watch, and a dark shoe. With a hand in his pocket, he gave me a friendly smile. His teeth are beautifully white, and I can't help but notice his attractiveness.Seeing he's attired as someone of importance, "Good evening." Nervously, I said and quickly spun around, walking away."Do you know what a white rose represents?" The strange man stopped me. His voice was warm and friendly.With my back facing him, I studied the roses in my hands.

Addison's eyes widened, surprised to see me. Vyke gave a welcome smile, and Alpha Bolin gave me the coldest look that sent a shiver up my spine. In my head, I swear, I could hear him growling to get out of his house now.I unfroze and quickly walked to the table to place down the bowl of gravy and basket of breadsticks so I could get out of there immediately.As I placed each item down, I could feel Alpha Bolin's cold stare penetrating my skin.

The ache of her ha
"Let me go," I angrily said as he kept dragging me by the hand.His grip tightened around my wrist, refusing to let go.Worried he was going to hurt me, I cried out. "I'm leaving." I promise you won't see me again."Still, he refused to release me.Finally, he stopped in his garden at a row of red roses. He spun around and grabbed me by the next wrist, pulling me close to him. Our bodies almost touched. His eyes, as dark as a moonless night, stared into mine, upset. His stare is intense."I don't work for you anymore. So please let me go." He frightened me, and as I stared into his eyes, my body became rigid like a pole in his hands."You're going to work here until I tell you when to leave," Sternly Alpha Bolin ordered, quickly unhanding me. ""What?" As I soothe the pain he inflicted on my wrist, I find myself in a state of confusion. He'd fired me before his Luna and brother, and he didn't want me here. Why did he change his mind all of a sudden? I didn't understand."No," I bravel
“Melonie!” I heard Lovely call from behind. Swiftly, I wiped my tears, not wanting her to see me cry, but not in time. She came before me, and I turned around, drying the remaining tears with my uniform sleeve. Believing I was crying about what had happened in the living room, Lovely said, “Don’t cry, Melonie.” "Cavia, send me to tell you that the alpha has rehired you.You've got your job back.” I pretended that this was the cause of my tears and that the Alpha didn't force me to work here. I turned around, nodding. "Come, let’s go; our supper is ready.” Lovely took my hand and led me out of the garden. We went to the employee lounge room. When we got there, the sight of the table amazed me; it had many meals that were fit for its owner. At my uncle's home, he forbade the workers from consuming any of the meals prepared for him and his family. I was fortunate enough to scrape the bottom of the pots to get a small portion of his meal. “Are the meals us?” Marvelled I asked, Lovel
