Joan's POVI should have known Racheal was one of those people who love to dress up and doll up for some dumb event. If Ms Anna had not forced me into attending the ceremony,I would be glad to disappoint Rachel."What about this? What do you think?" Rachel asked as she showed me another dress from her wardrobe.She had decided to keep the appointment at her room and I was shocked to find out she lived alone with her brother.Or at least,so I thought.I really never asked if she lived alone."I sincerely do not care what I wear to the ceremony." /Why don't you go to the ceremony looking like a beggar then? I'm sure it would look amazing/Maya said in annoyance.Thanks a lot for being a pain in the ass smile even though I never asked for your opinion to begin with!I wasn't exactly in the best mood to party. I was going to spend the evening in bed, catching as much sleep as I can…"Come on! it's going to be fun! I told you that already. Don't you believe me?" Rachel said

Rex's POV "What do you mean you don't know where she is?" she snapped in annoyance Never have i seen my mother so upset or irritated in my life! I had successfully irritated her to the point that my very presence must have disgusted her."Your mate is nowhere to be found and you're telling ke, you don't know where she is?! " She adds, making sure to point out how ridiculous the whole situation seemed ."She ran away mother, she clearly doesn't want me " "I've met the young lady and I know she would have rejected you to your face if she wanted to" She went quiet suddenly and eues moved front the glass I held to her face in worry.Her health seemed to get worse by the passing day abd i was worried . I lost my father way back, I didn't want to lose my mother eurher.."Is this about Gwen?" She asked sharply "Mother…" "Did your mate run away because of Gwen? Answer me Rex!" She snapped The only one who dared to raise her voice on me was my mother, anyone who dare to

Joan's POV "They're still out there" Ms Anna said, staring out the window. It's been two days since the incident with Alpha Jerome and I was glad to see Ms Anna was getting better.I packed the last of my things, sad to say goodbye.Rachel has not been home since and I was starting to wonder if her mate had come to claim her forcefully. Her brother claimed he received a letter from her and according to the letter, she would not be returning anytime soon.I just hope she's okay.."I'm glad you're feeling better Ms Anna " I offered, strapping my bag of clothes on my back"What deal did you strike with the Alpha Joan? Why would he have guards watching you?" Ms Anna asked She looked genuinely worried but u couldn't bring myself to tell her what had really happened. It would only make her feel worse than she already did. "The Alpha wants me to be his maid and I asked to make sure you are well before I report to his palace Ms Anna. " That was about all I could tell

Joan's POV After Alpha Jerome dismissed me for a meeting, I made my way back into the main house, hoping to come across Ms Emma.I wasn't looking forward to meeting her again but she's with my clothes and she knows where my room was.Taking in the splendour of this mansion, I wondered if the maids around here see this place in its magnificence as I did.Of course not.Alpha Rex's mansion looked just as majestic ,even better than this but all I could think of was my horrible time there.I made my way up the stairs, avoiding any eye contacts. I could see the maids staring at me like I was some freak! Just great! So much for trying to be on a low profile! Of course rumors would spark because Ms Emma was ordered to take my bag to my room..I groaned as I realised what this would mean for me, I made an enemy for life! My time would certainly be miserable. Just fantastic, exactly what I need after escaping hell barely a month ago! Finally on the 2nd floor, I walked past

Joan's POV "Wipe it clean, you lazy bunch!" Ms Emma screams in my face.I couldn't tell which was more annoying, her screaming so loud or the fact that she spits a lot while at it? My job was to clean the Alpha's room and make sure his things were in place but this woman made it her business to watch me do the cleaning.Shouldn't she be supervising the other maids? Why is she all up in my business anyway? "No peck of dust on the ground, do you hear me? Not a single speck of dust! " She said for the hundredth time that evening!She was starting to annoy me. It took a great time convincing Maya to stay put and not wolf out. She's been staring all day, waiting for a chance to snap at Ms Emma's face and scar her for life! If you do that, we're going to draw attention to ourselves. We could be forced to hold metal plates Which would burn into my skin and never heal…Maya agreed to stay put and I made sure I kept my anger at bay as well. Any signs of trigger and May
