Rejected by the Alpha Mated to the savage Lycan

I was running around the palace, trying to get everything done on time. I haven't been given even a minute of rest and today was only hectic for me. It doesn't seem to be getting better, rather it's getting worse.

“Vanessa!” The head maid screamed my name.

I flinched, making all the things I held fall to the ground. I was only going to be in more trouble now that all these are broken. I tried using anything I could find to cover it, but it was already too late since she had seen it.

“You bastard,” she slapped me hard on the face. It took a lot of me not to burst out crying, there were many more dishes, but she didn't care as long as she hurt me.

“Are you sent to me by gods to frustrate me? Do you have to do anything to infuriate me? You're nothing but a filthy human.”

I stared blankly at the ground, trying my best not to cry. It wasn't the first time that she's been insulting me, and I was already used to it.

“Clean that up and come and help the cooks.”

I nodded in response and started picking it up, dropping it inside a trash can nearby. She hissed and walked away, leaving me alone there. I was the only one left alone to clean a lot of dishes and also prepare flour the natural way.

It would take them nothing to get flour, but they just wanted to torture me whichever way they could. Being the only human in the pack would only make others treat me inhumanely.

I was adopted by a werewolf couple when I was a baby, ever since the death of my biological parents and I have no memory of either of them. I was raised by them and didn't know my identity as a human until their death. My parents kept it hidden from them, but when I didn't get my wolf at eighteen, they discovered my identity.

It was also the first time for me, and it pained me to know that I had been an outcast all along. They wanted to kill me, but after pleadings from some set of people, they decided to just let me live only if I agreed to live as a maid. I had no choice and had to live with it, hoping I would gain my freedom soon.

I miss my parents every day and can't help but blame myself for their death. It's a guilt I'm not sure whether I would ever escape from.

“Aren't you done yet? Do you want me to start yelling again? Why are you just bent on making me miserable?” The head maid yelled.

I cleaned up the kitchen quickly and ran up to her. “I was only busy with some things. I'm done making the flour and we can start making the food,” I explained.

She scoffed, “Can you keep your excuse? You can't ever be vulnerable for once. Always making excuses after excuses.”

I didn't argue with her and later joined the others. We all continued what we were doing, and I was given most of the work as usual. I couldn't complain and just had to endure it all.

I was doing my work quietly while one of the girls started up a conversation with the other.

“Did you hear that the alpha son is going to introduce his Luna today? I don't know who she is, but I think that's the motive of the party?” she revealed.
