The Dark Side Of Fate

Novel {Book 2} Chapter 4 – ~Amelia~

I observed the argument between Alpha Leo and his friend. It was very sad what was happening to the man. From what I heard, the bastard was a douchebag and deserved all that he was getting, but I also learned that Leo was a very powerful and influential man.

Why would fate tie me to the heavens and leave me on earth with no ladder? I was aiming above my station.

His statement made me believe I might not succeed with him. Many horrible things happened to me on the streets and in prison cells. Things I never speak of and just brush aside, buried deep in my mind. I often live in denial, but I know the truth.

When I find a place to sleep at night and get through it safely without being disturbed, I know the truth because only then do I experience peace.

Leo’s words scared me and made me almost lose hope completely. I felt terrible about the dish I broke while eavesdropping on him and his friend. But it wasn’t deliberate. Honestly, his statement about breeds and high-borns shocked me and cut me deep, but I hoped I won’t be cut off guard again.

The rest of the day was hard because I had to walk on eggshells. Leo was annoyed after his friend left and did not seem to come out of it.

Seeing him, I knew he had a lot of pain, but didn’t we all?

After I had made his dinner and cleaned up, I opted to leave before he kicked me out.

As much as I was willing to put in an effort and try, I did not plan to irritate him and lose my job in the process. This was the first time in my life that I would have a semblance of peace. A place to sleep, food to eat and hope for wages without being violated. Rejected or not, he has been the kindest person to me.

I returned to the servant quarters, and everyone was there.

The moment I stepped in, the women were silent. It made me feel awkward and out of place, but it was normal. I was the new girl and not just a new girl but a Delta servant. It was unheard of.

Delta’s were usually high-borns from top families. Unfortunately for me, my mother was an Omega that had an affair with a high-born and dumbed the result at an orphanage when she could no longer cope.

I think my eyes also were the problem. If I had the money, I would buy some contacts to hide them, so I do not continue to look like something from a horror movie.

My gaunt, malnourished looks did not help matters either. That was why I was grateful for my new job. I planned to eat as much as possible to fill my body and look healthy.

I smiled to reduce the awkwardness. While some of them returned the smile, some looked annoyed and disgusted. I wondered whose job I might have taken.

I knew Omegas loved to serve the Alphas. Still, I was the only one in Alpha Leo’s house today. He did not seem like the type to fuck the help, or maybe that rule only applied to me since I am the ‘displaced thief he took pity on’.

I did not care, regardless. I had food, a place to stay, wages to collect and a fated to fight for. They could look at me with all the hate they wanted. I just did not care. My skin was too thick for their shit.

I went to my bunk, and a blonde woman was waiting there with a smile. She had blue eyes. She was too attractive for her own good. How can Alpha see me with people like this around him? I did not study them really until I saw the woman. All the Omegas were gorgeous.
