Joan's POV I stared down at the white cloth belt I had tied around my waist, over my shapeless gown.Something kicked in my head, anger maybe, when I realised what made the Alpha stare at me that way last night.I was not only angry but irritated by his actions! Staring at me like some pervert.Despite my hatred for Alpha Rex and his father,I would rather have Rex staring at me that way rather than Alpha Jerome.How could he…My thoughts were cut short when I felt someone tug at my hair from behind, pulling me to the ground. Who…I glared up at her, swearing to curse her out if it was Ms Emma. I would rather have anyone do anything but getting handsy with my hair is certainly out of the question!To my shock, it wasn't Ms Emma but a lady cladded in the most expensive attire that hugged her curves. She was both elegant and graceful and her skin shone, spotless and beautiful to behold.A woman built to pleasure a man both physically in appearance and…the other areas I

Joan's POV Maybe I should have kept the 'beast' in check because now I was face to face with the Alpha and Lady Gina as well as my accuser Ms Emma, was standing right behind me ."My lord,this filthy maid has been not only disrespectful but last and insolent! I gave her chores and she has refused to do them! She called me names and even tried to hit me Alpha !" I shut my eyes, keeping my anger well bottled in and in check. Of course she would try to play victim and get the Alpha to punish me severely! My eyes lands on lady Gina, would me trying to seem innocent save me at this point.I flashed her a small smile and returned my gaze to the feet of the Alpha."Why is this any of my business Emma? Do I appear as someone who cares about such stupid matters?!" "Alpha, she's your personal maid. I wanted to ask your for your day on this before doing anything Alpha" The silence that followed was uncomfortable and I could feel the Alpha's gaze on me."Maid" "Yes Alpha

Exhaustion weighed heavily on me the next day, my body aching and bruises stinging even more than before. As the morning light spilled into my room, my weariness tried to pull me back into the embrace of my bed. But before I could find solace, Ms. Emma barged into my room, her face twisted with anger."Why are you still in bed, you lazy fool?" she screamed, her words like knives in my ears. Without warning, she grabbed a fistful of my hair and yanked me up, forcefully reminding me of my duties. "Get to work!" she spat, her grip tightening, and I stumbled out of the room, pain radiating through my scalp.Joining the other maids, I tried to blend in as we went about our cleaning tasks. But it seemed that none of them wanted to be associated with me. They avoided me, casting glances laced with judgement, as if my mere presence tainted their own reputation.Silently, I swept and cleaned, the monotonous routine a bittersweet distraction from the persistent ache in my body and the heavines

Joan's POV I continued with my daily routine, sweeping and cleaning alongside the other maids. The bruises on my skin were still as horrible as before, causing a constant ache. I couldn't help but wonder if the ointment Lady Gina had given me was making them better or worse. The pain persisted, but I held on to the hope that it would eventually fade away.As I worked, my mind drifted to the cruel and wicked nature of life. It felt like the world had dealt me nothing but hardship. I questioned why I had been subjected to such suffering and what I had done to deserve it. But alas, there were no answers, only the harsh reality I had come to accept.In the midst of my thoughts, a guard approached, breaking my train of thinking. My heart raced with fear as he directed me to come with him. I couldn't imagine what the Alpha would want with me. "W-Why should I go with you?" I stammered, my voice trembling, hoping for some explanation.The guard's expression seemed stern as

JOAN’S POV“You are next” his word kept ringing in my head but I stood rooted in my spot finding it hard to let the words snick in my head.When I was told that Alpha Jerome had summoned me, the last thing I expected to walk into is this. Only watching that as it unfolded was shocking enough and now he want to repeat that with me.For some unknown reason my mind trailed back to my night with Alpha Rex and though he was anything but gentle with me, they were entirely two different people. When Alpha Rex made love to be thou he claimed he hate me, I know he hate me but there is some sort of compassion in it while this, this scene I just walked in to is just like two animals having sex. There was no other form of emotion apart from lust and as sure as hell wouldn’t want to have sex with someone like that so I shifted back a bit, ready to make a run for the door in case he decided to attack.I swiftly wipe away the tears threatening to run down my cheek before he even have the opportunit
