“But how do you intend on helping the Alpha exactly? Don’t youthink the maid would be suspicious of your actions Sabrina asked me once she’d considerably calmed down

“She would at first,” I agreed with a hum Flexing my fingers as thought about the plan I’d randomly created in a flash I knew it had merit. “I’d use my relationship with Alpha Caleb against her. She will trust me.”

My animosity with the pack and Caleb didn’t go unnoticed by anyone. I never let my confusion at his change of heart showe And even now I haven’t completely forgiven him for the way I had been treated like garbage throughout our marriage.

Regardless of whether I was helping him now and here in the park as a healer I still kept to myself and refused to associate with the rest of the pack. As far as I was concerned it wasn’t worth it.

The maid might be suspicious but she would come to see how much I hated Caleb and the Wisteria Pack

I intended to use that to reel her in and gain her trust.

Sabrina sighed heavily again and muttered something under her breath.

Then she changed the subject instantly.

“What about that friend of yours, hmm? Beta Raul!” She asked me. “I think you two look good together”

Unwittingly I pursed my lips. “I don’t like Raul that way Sabrina You know that.”

“But he likes you doesn’t he? He can hardly take his eyes off you whenever you’re in a room”

I didn’t know what to say. It was true that I had noticed that. But it meant nothing to me.

“Really we’re just friends Sabrina. It means nothing,” my protests still didn’t faze her and she gave me the most telling look.

Almost like she could read her mind.

“You should make things clear with him then, if you know that you don’t want to be with him. I think she paused. “I really think he loves you.”

Raul couldn’t love me. I thought.

Love wasn’t what I wanted now. I’d had quite enough of it over the years from my childhood having a father who didn’t love me, to a mate who hated me with every fiber of his being.

Love was not what kept me alive; the desire to survive did.

We talked for a while, the atmosphere slowly growing from tense from the revelations to a calm and comfortable environment. It was almost funny how much I missed Sabrina over the years I’d been away from the Wisteria Pack. I almost wished that she could come with me when I left.

Once I was alone I laid back down on the bed and let my eyes travel over the design on the ceiling

My mind wandered and just like that it drifted to Raul again. His insistent stares and his actions towards me. They truly spoke of more than friendship. Even as oblivious as I tended to be there was no way that I couldn’t admit that

The fact that Sabrina kept pestering me about it made me question myself more. Did I not have feelings for him at all or was I just afraid it would ruin our friendship?

I recalled how he had asked me of my relationship with Caleb. on remembering my response and his reaction I cringed inwardly. Had I pushed him away unintentionally then?

I never thought that after the trauma Caleb had put me through hat I would ever find another person willing to be with me. I felt broken, used and cast aside like a toy.

But now I was faced with the idea that it wasn’t the case. Torn between my past and future I had to figure out which way to go. And worse was I had little time to make my decision. Whether I chose Raul or not, it would certainly affect our friendship going forward.

“Oh goddess what do I do?” I murmured.

I felt a mix of exhaustion and relaxation pull me deeper into a state of calmness.

Thinking of Raul I drifted off to sleep.

When I woke up the maid, or rather, spy was in my room. I hear the shuffling and listened to it with shut eyes while I returned to reality.

Trying to not act alarmed I opened my eyes and slowly stretched my arms at my sides with a relaxed hum. The shuffling stopped instantly and I knew she was watching me.

Regardless I pretended to not notice and slowly sat up to rub my eyes while a yawn left my lips.

It was still daytime and I glanced at the clock to see the time. It was a few minutes past 4pm, I mused.

Turning to the maid I surveyed her with a gentle gaze. Her eyes were fixed on me and I noticed she had one of her hands in my bag. My ire rose but I calmed myself down quickly.

I needed her to trust me.

“What’s going on?” I asked as if I hadn’t woken up to her ransacking my things. “It must be lunchtime by now.”

Acting the fool seemed to stir her and she glanced down at the notebook in her hand and backed up at me before she immediately began to apologize. Falling to her knees she clasped both hands together in pleading.

“I’m sorry miss. I didn’t mean to go through your things at all. Please have mercy,” she appeared to be on the verge of tears.

Subtly I smirked and left the bed to approach her. She sniffled like a lost child.

I inwardly rolled my eyes at her act but maintained a neutral fac

“Hey it’s okay,” I said, helping her off the floor. She stood still looking pale as she made sure to avoid my gaze. “What’s your

name?”

“Mira,” she answered her voice barely a whisper.

“Well Mira,” I sighed and crossed my arms. “You must be new to being a personal maid. I don’t like my things being touched. But I understand you were probably just trying to do your job right?”

She stiffened and after a long moment she then nodded. I could tell what she was thinking. That she had somehow escaped notice. But she didn’t know I was onto her.

“Mira,” I began. “I haven’t had the time to address you properly. First, I am not strict. I want you to do your job but you don’t have to be afraid of every little thing. I’m not picky. Secondly I want whatever happens in my personal space to stay between us. No telling anyone. Especially not Alpha Caleb.”

She snapped her head up to look at me. Her eyes were widened with surprise.

“You don’t want me to tell Alpha Caleb anything?”

Raising my brows I explained, keeping my tone light but each word had an edge to it now.

“The Alpha and I have had our differences. I’m not happy being here and I don’t want him to know anything about my personal business. Really, I could care less what happens to him. I’m only here to do my job.”

My words seemed to evoke a reaction from her. Her brows furrowed slightly but her eyes were filled with something else. Relief.

“You can trust me Miss. I’ll not betray you.” Mira said while bowing a little.
