The Dark Side Of Fate

Novel {Book 2} Chapter 7 – ~Amelia~

Alpha Leo left the house ten minutes later. He did not say a word to Leah, and I knew she was hurt, but I could not be bothered. She was shameless not to have gotten the message. After Alpha left, I turned to his guest, who was still dumbfounded.

“Do you need me to help you pack, Miss Clayman?” I asked politely with a smirk, and she was furious.

She stood up and growled at me, but she did not advance. I dared her to. I wished Alpha had let her stay longer so I could deal with her, but I believed her exit was for the best.

“I will be back. You’ll see.” She said to me, trying to compose herself, but I doubted that would happen.

She went into the room while I continued my chores.

I was yet to shower. I did not plan to shower until Leah was out of the house so I could lock the door with a key this time and shower. There was no way I was letting the omegas set me up twice.

Soon Leah exited with her bag and sat on the couch to wait for Beta Casper to take her to her hotel.

I ignored her completely and did my Job, ensuring everything was clean.

“You will always be a maid and a cook to Leo. He will never fancy you,” She said with a bored tone, and I ignored her.

My intentions towards the Alpha were my business alone; I did not need to discuss or argue with anyone. She was free to have her opinion.

“Everything about you screams ugly. Your eyes look like you are blind. I wonder if you even see colour. Your gaunt-looking face. You are like a walking skeleton. Have you seen Queen Tamia or his ex-fated, Amanda? You can never compete with them. You are just a street rat he took pity on, and you will remain like that. Seeing you, You have no idea how to get a man. I will advise you to pack your shit and move on before you get burnt, little girl,” She said, and I was glad she admitted she was an old woman.

“Glad you know you are too old,” I said to her, smiling.

“I wouldn’t be wasting my breath on someone I do not feel threatened by. So I will take your insults as a compliment because I have given you a complex. Unlike you, I do not have to lie to get his attention or stay in his home. So maybe my naivety is paying off after all,” I said to her with a smile, and she hissed at me.

There was a knock on the door, and I knew her ride was here.

“Your ride is here, Miss Clayman. It was nice meeting you,” I said and went to open the door for Beta Casper.

“Good Morning, Beta,” I said with a bow, and he smiled.

“Heard what happened this morning, Amelia. I am glad you are okay,” He said, and I was surprised Alpha had told him already.
