Chapter 1 Wolfless omega

In the big mansion of the Alpha of the Shadow Moon pack. The house was as quiet as it has always been. Some maids could be seen walking in and out as they cleaned in a hurry. They all know what could happen to them if Alpha Aiden meets them there.

They were only allowed to clean the house at their scheduled time before going back to their quarters. And no matter what happens or whatever noise is heard from the main house, no one must interfere or enter the house except the person who wants death. Rumor has it that the alpha sleepwalks at night, which makes him not want anyone to stay with him in the main house.

In the hallway upstairs, a maid could be seen mopping the floor. She packed her brown hair into a tight bun. She looked messy, with the sweat building up all over her body. Suddenly, a loud ringtone disrupted the quiet hallway. She quickly took the phone from her pocket and put it in silence mode before looking around her to check if anyone was coming.

"Good of you, Amelia. You picked up my call on time today." She heard the voice say over the phone, followed by a laugh, but she just sighed as she kept looking around to see if anyone was coming, because she knew the consequences as they weren't allowed to use phones in the house. "Send me money. I will be expecting it."

"I'll send it tomorrow. I'll collect my pay tomorrow; please just wait." Amelia begged. She knew he would surely call her for money, since it was already the end of the month. She has been working as a maid since she was eighteen, four years ago. Apart from being a wolfless omega, her life has been so difficult ever since her mother died, and her father blamed her for her mother's death. Not that she knew who her mother was because she died when she was a baby, but she only heard from her father and had seen pictures of her.

And ever since then, she has had to work for her family. Not that she was also happy working and giving her father the money, but she didn't have anyone or anywhere to go. He's the only one for her in the world, even though he's also the worst.

"Just make sure you send it tomorrow, or you won't like what I'll do to you." She heard, followed by the hang-up sound. She sighed again as she thought about giving him and her stepmother the money she had worked for again. Tears were almost running out of her eyes as she thought of her miserable life, forgetting where she was.

She was just a wolfless Omega who still wished to go to college and become successful, even though she knew it wasn't possible because of her status in the pack. The money she makes from side jobs, her father still collects from her. She was still thinking about her life when she heard a voice call her name from behind.

She quickly turned around to face the person, but due to fear, the phone in her hand dropped. But it didn't drop to the ground; it fell into the big flower pot that was close to her. "What are you doing here? The housekeeper asked us to come together for a meeting downstairs." The maid said, looking at her suspiciously.

Amelia also noticed this, and she knew that the maid might have thought that she had stolen something, given that she was just a part-time cleaner. Without bothering to search for her phone, she left the mop and left the hallway with the maid.

She was assigned another job downstairs by the housekeeper, and she couldn't get the chance to go back upstairs to get her phone. By the time they all finished their jobs, it was already late, and it was the right time to leave the main house. Also, she didn't remember leaving her phone upstairs.

They all went back to their quarters, ate their food, and went to their respective beds. Amelia, who was also packing her bags as she would leave for her house the next day, collapsed on the bed. She was so tired that the only thing on her mind was to go to sleep. But as she closed her eyes, she suddenly opened them back. She sat up immediately. "My phone. Oh my goodness! I didn't take my phone from the house." She whispered with her eyes widening.

"How could you forget your phone, Amelia?" She hit her forehead lightly. She sighed as she lied back on the bed, but raised up again. She wasn't allowed to go into the mansion at night, nor could she forsake her phone until next week, when she would come back. She had a feeling that something would have happened to her phone by then, and she was the only one who knew what she faced before getting the phone.

When she couldn't take it any longer, she sneaked out of the room quietly and walked out of the quarters. She was so careful as she watched for the guard monitoring the building. It took almost an hour before she could get into the mansion, and to her surprise, it was so quiet and dark that it gave her chills as she stepped inside.

At that point, she regretted not taking a torch with her. She was not expecting to find a dark room, but still, she couldn't go back after what she went through before entering the house. "I think I should find the switch first." She whispered to herself, not thinking that someone might be in the room.

She didn't see or know where she was going, but she just kept trying to feel things with her hands as she moved, but suddenly she felt something like a hand grabbing her by the arm. She became alerted immediately and wanted to scream, but couldn't. She knew she was caught. "I'm..." Before she could complete her words, she heard a masculine voice.

"Mate." She heard him say, but she couldn't move. She was shocked that she couldn't push him away, but when she felt his other hand on her cheeks and heard him say. "You came back."

His hand slowly went behind her neck, but before he could pull her closer, Amelia finally screamed and pushed him away, making him fall to the ground before she ran out without looking back.
