Sold To My Alpha Mate

MAYA

The guard ran off after muttering a quick ‘thank you.’ And that was the moment that I thought about what I was doing.

Wasn’t I just making myself known to more people with what was happening? I pushed off the thought when I reminded myself that his life was in danger and he needed to get medical attention as soon as possible.

“Are you okay?” I asked the man on the floor. He responded with a groan. He was tightening his cheek, trying so hard to endure the pain. I noticed that his side was oozing with blood and I grabbed his cloth and ripped it before tying it around the spot to stop the bleeding. Thankfully, it stopped immediately but it was very clear that he was still in pain.

By now, the chaos had already subsided and the guttural growls I heard outside were almost gone. I guessed the guards had taken care of it all. I didn’t know how I was going to lift the guard so I just had to wait until help came. I hoped that help would arrive very soon. I kept looking out, but nobody passed.

The maids were still trapped in the quarters where they were being protected, and the guards were busy fighting. I had to do it in one way or the other, and I had to make sure I didn’t end up hurting him. That was the moment I heard heavy footsteps coming up.

“Help!” I yelled, glancing down. I was shocked when the familiar aura gripped my senses right there and then. The Prince! I knew it was him before I even saw him. He appeared a few seconds later, followed by another man whose aura radiated danger. I guessed he must be his father, the Alpha. They were flanked by four guards as well.

His eyes followed me and it was sharp with concern as he took in what was going on. He looked around me and found the four dead rogues, then he looked at my hands. I quickly hid the bloodied dagger before I bowed curtly and opened my mouth to speak but he was the one who interrupted me and spoke first.

“What happened here?” He asked. His voice was deep but it had a tinged of worry in it. I feigned sadness and wiped off the tear that had rolled down my cheeks.

“He was attacked, my Prince. Luckily, I found him and bandaged his wound. He needs immediate medical attention because he has blood.” I announced, hoping they would throw themselves into it and help but they were still hesitant, or shocked that I had killed three rogues. I couldn’t tell which was which. The prince nodded, then he turned to one of his men.

“Take him to the hospital, immediately. The doctors should take care of him.” With the wounded guard taken care of, he turned towards me.

“Where are the other maids? You were asked to move to the emergency quarters, right?” He asked. I nodded,

“Yes, but he was dying and I couldn’t leave him to die.” I said, explaining myself.

“I didn’t ask you to explain yourself. Be very careful because you might have lost your own life in the process. What you did was very dangerous and make sure you don’t try it again. Do you understand me?” He asked. Trying to be as intimidated as possible, I went on my knees and replied immediately with my hands clasped as if in prayer.

“I’m sorry, your Grace. This will never repeat itself again.” I said to him, wondering if I had done a bad thing by saving a guard from death.

“Son, let’s go.” The Alpha confirmed his status by what he just said. I wasn’t surprised because the kind of aura he has was overpowering. It made me want to bow down before him, if possible, kowtow as well.

“Go join the other maids right now. Stay with them until the threat is over.” He said. I nodded and quickly ran up the stairs.

Thankfully, I was able to find some guards who directed me to the place. I ran as fast as I could until I got there. They opened the door and I slipped in, before releasing the breath I had been holding for a very long time.

As I entered the room, however, everyone gasped when they saw me. That’s when I looked down and saw the stains of blood on my clothes.Content rights by NôvelDr//ama.Org.

One of them approached and asked, “Are you okay? Do you need help?” She looked genuinely worried about me but I thanked her and told her that I was perfectly fine.

She smiled and moved out of the way but I could tell she was still not comfortable with the answer. I was still searching for Tianna in the white room when she started to walk towards me.

“Are you okay?” Tianna asked the same question. I explained everything to her immediately and she sighed with relief. We both walked to a corner, with me ignoring the gazes I was getting from every angle.

“How about what I asked you to do? Did you find anything?” I asked her but she shook her head immediately. She looked around one more time before she said.

“I tried to leave the room but the guards wouldn’t let me. And I must warn you of something else. This place is heavily guarded. There are guards almost everywhere, and they have sharp vision. Considering how big the Packhouse is, it will surely take us a lot of time before we get to every single room in this Packhouse. We haven’t even started this mission, Maya. We are still fucking around if you ask me.” The tone of her voice wasn’t encouraging, but I liked the fact that she was being plain honest and didn’t make things sound good when it was in fact very bad. I was disappointed that she hadn’t found anything, but that didn’t mean we didn’t have any other chance.

There were still a lot of chances and we had to take them when the time came. As the dust finally settled and a sense of normalcy started to return, Tianna and I made our way back to the room after the guard asked us to. Getting back inside, I went straight to the bathroom and sank into the bathtub.

The warm water did a lot to provide the respite that I needed as I pondered on what had happened this eventful morning. Despite our best efforts, we had come up empty-handed. Was it yet time to abandon this mission and go back home? I thought to myself. I couldn’t shake off the bad feeling that this was going to end with us failing.

We were asked to stay in our rooms for the rest of the day because of what happened. That evening, as Tianna and I were still sitting in our rooms, lost in conversation, a knock sounded at the door. She answered the door, and it was a guard.

“Are you Rose?” The guard asked. My ear cocked up straight instantly, metaphorically though.

“No, but she’s here.” Tianna replied. The guard replied briskly.

“The Prince would like to see her immediately.” The guard said with a cold tone. I felt my heart skip a beat instantly. What did he want this time?
