Chapter 6: Chapter - 6 : Fired From The Job

(Faedra's Pov).

I sat down in the small room I was given, staring blankly at the dirty brown wall In front of me. It's been a week since I ran away from home and was rescued by the alpha of the Red Sea pack, Alpha Zed.

True to his word, he sent someone the next day after their pack doctor discharged me to bring me to the Alpha manor, which was where the important people in the clan like the alpha and his family including the beta lived. It was a massive mansion and was way bigger and looked older and more exquisite than the one I grew up living in. I hadn't seen the alpha since the day he came to question me at the hospital. I wasn't surprised, as I knew how busy the alpha's of big packs always were.

The past week had been quite hectic for me. As I was in an unknown territory and strange pack, I was treated like a stranger and stuck out like a sore thumb. People in the Alpha manor avoided me and even though it hurt, I didn't try to socialize as I was already used to being treated like this.

At the Red Sea pack, things were different, as I joined as a maid. Of course, I didn't expect to be treated with any respect, but I had hoped for them to be friendlier here. But everyone was hostile towards me, I couldn't really blame them, I was a stranger who didn't grow up as a pack member, I was a werewolf without a wolf, unmated and pregnant with an alpha scent on me.

I didn't understand how they found out about my pregnancy, I guessed the higher-ups could smell it on me, but the maids? Rumors do spread.

I sighed loudly. 'I can't give birth and raise my child as a maid. I want to give him or her a better life. I want to find my parents, I need an explanation. Why did Alpha Liddell kidnap me and raise me as his child? Who are my real parents? Why did they let me go?' I thought quietly.

A loud bang pulled me out of my thoughts and my head snapped towards my door which was pushed open with so much force it felt like the person behind it had intentions of breaking it.

“You lazy bitch!” The high-pitched voice made my brows furrowed.

'Not her again' I thought, almost letting out a groan, just then a black shining heel clicked on the floor of the room.

I immediately stood up from the little bed sitting by the side of the room. A tall, slim woman dressed in a black and white gown walked in. Her dirty blonde hair was packed in a messy bun. A frown graced her pretty face making her look older and more mature, her eyebrows furrowed as she glared at me like an angry predator looking at its prey. She didn't look much older than me and was only an inch taller.

“Miss Roxy” I immediately greeted the young head maid of the Red Sea's pack Alpha manor.

“Bring it in!” She ignored my greetings and two girls who looked slightly older than me walked in carrying two baskets, one each full of clothes.

My eyes widened slightly, what was she doing? The two girls dressed in a similar maid uniform like mine poured all the clothes that were obviously dirty on the floor of the little room I was giving.

“Miss Roxy," I said quietly, trying to understand what was happening.

“Leave!” The girl waved at the two girls, who immediately bowed to the younger lady and left, leaving the basket behind.

“Take all these clothes and wash them” Roxy glared at me as she pointed at the heaps of clothes on the floor.

“These are clothes of some unimportant guests and some top workers around the Manor as you're not in the position to touch the clothes of the alpha and other important people in the mansion, I don't want you messing up and disgracing me in this mansion”

“B..but miss Roxy, I am done with my work for today.” We had all been assigned to our various chores this morning, and I had made sure to work as fast as I could, so I could come back to rest.

It was winter, and I was pregnant. I didn't have any warm clothes and the maid uniform I had barely helped, I would rather not stay outside for long.

“I am the head maid in this manor. You are only done with your work for the day when I say you're done for the day,” she snarled at me. “Now take these clothes outside and wash them, and you are not allowed to use the washing machines in the laundry room”

I couldn't believe my ears, I stared at the clothes on the floor and back at Roxy in disbelief. How could she do this?

This many clothes, without a machine, in Winter?

“No, I ca-”

I didn't know when she closed the distance and how she managed to hit me across the face. My cheeks felt swollen, the slap stung and for a moment, I felt my ears bleed. She hit me with more force than necessary, it made me remember Alpha Liddell's punishment. My eyes watered, and I bit my lip and tried not to make a sound and appear weak to her. I was already used to this type of treatment.

“Who do you think you are?! “ Roxy growled at me. “Where do you think you are?! What do you think you are?! Did you expect special treatment because of the little alpha scent on you, you little whore? You must've spread your little whore legs for Alpha Zed just to get into this manor. You disgust me” She stared at me and wrinkled her nose like I was the dirtiest thing she'd ever seen. “Wash these before I get back, or I'll make your life a living hell” and with that, she left.

I sat on the floor and the tears I'd been trying to hold back started running down my face uncontrollably,I couldn't hold it back and I broke down.

Why was life so unfair to me?

I wiped the tears with my sleeves and hurriedly packed the clothes on the floor.

********

“Miss Roxy, Please, I didn't do it,” I cried while she glared at me. I had just finished washing the clothes that were given to me and my back ached when a maid suddenly accused me out of nowhere of ruining the Alpha's expensive clothes by washing them with very hot water.

“You little bitch! Do you know what you have done, your three months' salary wouldn't be enough to replace the clothes you ruined” Roxy pointed at me angrily.

“I didn't do it. You said it yourself, that a lowly maid like me is not worthy of touching the alpha's clothes.”

“It is good that you know where you belong, you little whore. Who knows why you were thrown out of your previous pack.” She glared at my stomach “Pregnant and unmated, you probably whored around and were kicked out, you think you can do the same here? I want you out of this manor in less than an hour.” My eyes widened immediately, and I fell on my knees.

“I… I really didn't do it, I… I was framed, I didn't touch the alpha's cloth Roxy, please believe me” I tried to grab onto her clothes, but she kicked my hand away.

“Take your things and leave, I'll make sure the guards search you, who knows if you were sent here to steal,” she spat and left.

It all happened too fast, and before I knew it, I was kicked out of the Alpha manor. I sat there heartbroken and broke down outside the huge mansion. No one even spared me a glance or cared to know what was happening.

It was hopeless. I was really all alone in the world.
