ARAIA'S P.O.V
It is the same as the one that I heard when I was inside the carriage, so it is really him…
I did what he told me to do and I sat on the carpet in front of him.
There is only a small table between us.
Now that I am near him, my nervousness grows. The atmosphere inside adds up to what I am feeling right now.
I can feel the sweat on my palms…
Alpha Alejandro isn't saying anything, although I am looking at my hands I can feel that he is looking at me.
If only I could stare at someone, for sure that I would be dead by now.
I can feel that he wants something from me but I just couldn't figure it out. But what would he want from someone like me?
But then I remembered that I had this instinct and I want to believe it now.
But what could it be?
If it is about money or something I will tell him that I need to work first as I don't have any money right now.
That would only work if he lets me but I don't think that he would.
Then if it is about me being a slave…I don't know what to think…I don't want to be a slave…
You can ask anything, anything but that.
We've been sitting there without no one talking.
Why isn't he saying anything?
Do I have to do something for him to speak?
I look back on the advice that the old man gave me.
Aside from being polite, I don't recall anything that I did first when I met him.
Did I forget something?
I took a glance at him once again, he was still staring at me without saying anything.
He is really scary…
I can feel his aura from where I am, is this the power of an Alpha?
I waited for him to say anything but a minute had passed and he was still not saying a word.
I can now feel my feet being numb.
Just what do I have to do now?
Should I ask him?
I gave it a thought and after a few debates in my mind I decided to ask him first, but just as I was about to say something he finally spoke.
"Who are you?"
I almost jumped when I heard his voice.
It is not the same as before, it is more like a strict and mad person.
What just happened?
Despite the confusion, I still answered him.
"I am Araia Madrigal, my lord."
After that he didn't say anything again.
Just what is happening here? I'm not informed that the Alpha didn't want to say anything.
It's like his words are so expensive that he doesn't want to let someone hear it without paying.
A minute had passed and again he was still not saying anything.
I am so confused about what is happening here…
"Be my maid."
The Alpha suddenly said.
made?
Did I hear it right? Is it a maid or a slave?
"A maid, my lord?"
I couldn't stop myself from asking. I need to make it clear.
He raised one of his eyebrows and that made me shut up.
Realization hits me. Why did I ask him? How dare I question the Alpha?
I heard that he wants me to be his maid but I am just so paranoid to think that I didn't hear him clearly.
I was scared and embarrassed at the same time so I just looked at my hand and thought of what I should answer.
It is alright for me to be his maid because it is better to be a slave.
But do I really have a choice here?
Wouldn't he just kill me if I refuse to be his maid?
I for sure couldn't resist him and went beyond his words.
I should always remember that he is the dangerous Alpha.
**
IN THE END, I still accept to be his maid.
After I agreed to him, he sent me off on the tent and told the old one to guide me.
So that is why I am now here in the group of maids of the Alpha.
We are now arranging the things that the guards and the Alpha used as we are going to depart any time by now.
No one is talking to me and no one is paying attention to me. They only talk to me when they need something or I ask them about anything.
In short, the way they treat me here is so cold.
But maybe this is better?
Since I don't want to get any attention from these wolves…
While we were organizing the stuff, I observed that everyone is neat and is working fast.
They're like they are catching up to the movements of the Alpha. Which is amazing if you look at it on the other side.
If only the Alpha isn't scary then I would think that what I choose right now will lead me to a happy life…
But that is possible especially when I saw him kill someone instantly.
How could I be happy when I know that the one I am serving is cruel?
Just how can the wolves serving Alejandro can keep up with those things?
Are they also cruel, that is why they can just let the incident pass like that as if nothing happened?
This isn't the life that I wanted. I thought that I would have my chance to meet my family again but now, here I am being a maid of the cruel Alpha Alejandro.
I feel like if I do something wrong even if it is just so little I would get killed instantly.
That is right…
I should think about how to survive in this place…
This isn't the world that I am used to, this world is like a survival game where if you are weak you will get killed by someone who is stronger than you.
You will be easily subdued if you don't think of a way to survive…
Life isn't easy here, you need to work harder to secure your life…
It is insane to think that you will wake up everyday just to work without the certainty that you will last a day.
Who would have thought that I would experience this kind of thing?
After we sorted everything out, Alpha Alejandro rode a wolf and led the trip.
Everyone was so quiet that I could already feel the humming of the birds.
Everyone is so stiff and alert.
I was so shocked when I first saw the male wolf change its appearance into a wolf.
It was my first time seeing that so I was mesmerized by it and my admiration disappeared when I saw Alpha alejandro.
As usual, he is wearing his poker face and has this cold aura around him.
He didn't say anything to us, he just rode the wolf and they just left.
So we walked behind him.
