Chapter 52
***25years AGO***
***LUCY'S POV***
After Lewis was done with his very intimate make-out session with his mate Melissa right in front of me with no shame he eventually remembered my presence and practically dragged me out of the room but not before giving his mate another peck on the lips. I whimpered as he dragged me down a really beautiful corridor decorated with more werewolf portraits and into another room which was at the end, it was a large bedroom with many beds. There were about twenty beds in total, the room was neat and didn't have too much furniture besides the beds plus a few wardrobes.
***"This is one of the servant's quarters, you will be staying in here. I will send for a servant to help you get settled and started on some work soon. Wait in here while I send for her, do not move and do not touch anything with those filthy hands of yours" he said the last part warningly with disgust laced in his deep voice. I nodded quickly while he marched out slamming the door behind him.***
***I breathed in deeply "at least you are still alive" I whispered to myself, I needed to calm myself because panicking wouldn't help me in this case.***
***I did not move an inch or sit on the ground even though I was tempted to since my foot hurt like hell and I was beyond exhausted. I was really going to be a servant in a werewolf castle, I snorted, this was ridiculous but at least servants slept on comfortable beds. I couldn't even remember the last time I actually slept on a bed with warm blankets. Hopefully, the servants were human too I sighed as the door slowly opened and I turned around to look at the servant who would be helping me get settled.***
***She definitely did not look like a servant at all, in fact, she looked like those victoria secret models with pretty thick long straight red hair, she was tall and skinny with flawless snow white skin, she even had shocking ocean blue eyes and pretty freckles dotted around both her cheeks. The only thing that proved she was a servant was the plain boring long brown long-sleeved dress she was wearing. However, her extreme beauty and the annoyed irritated look on her face when she laid her eyes on me definitely meant she was a werewolf which was bad news for me.***
***"You are human! Why would the beta even spare your life or bring you into the castle, you should have been left rotting with those filthy rats in the dungeons!" she spat walking towards me. I didn't dare say a word, I was beyond frightened its not like I wanted to be here surrounded by death. These creatures would definitely be the end of me and I would rather hang than be crushed or eaten alive by these hell-born devils. So I stayed silent and it was a wise decision, the girl looked annoyed but she did not harm me. She huffed and dug something out one of the wardrobes until she pulled out a similar brown long plain dress, the only difference was this one was not long-sleeved.***
***"Here," she said throwing the dress at me "You see that door over there right behind you that's where the showers are, I expect you to finish doing whatever it is you will be doing in there within the next ten minutes. I will be waiting in here until you are done then we get you to work as soon as possible. Don't even try anything stupid with me, I will snap your kneck real quick and nobody will do anything about it. You will just be one more problem off everyone's plate" she finished her statement with a devilish grin and I swallowed hard.***
***I nodded and walked into the shower room quickly, to say I was beyond pleased would be an understatement. I have never been so happy to see a shower in my whole entire life! The room was not very huge but it was big enough to fit about twelve little square cubicle divisions with each one containing a shower. They didn't even have a glass door or anything for privacy, but then again werewolves didn't prioritize privacy very much. I quickly stripped my dirty tattered clothes and jumped into one of the showers. I almost cried at the pleasure of feeling clean semi-hot water running down my dirty bruised body. I wanted to stay in forever but I knew I didn't have such privilege so I quickly scrubbed myself until I was satisfied that the dirt was gone.***
***After I dried myself I quickly wore the ugly boring plain dress handed to me, It was ugly but I appreciated having something clean to wear. I walked out and met the red-headed servant waiting for me on one of the beds patiently. She nodded her head in approval after sizing me up and down. "That's better, you look less like some rogue wild animal. Now before I start showing you around you are going to have to follow every rule I give to you. Do you understand?"***
***I nodded my head which made her sigh in annoyance, "You will answer me and every werewolf above you with either a yes sir or a no sir, yes ma'am or no ma'am. Now, do you understand!"***
***Ma'am? She did not even look a year older than me but I did not dare defy her or any other werewolf, ever. "Yes, ma'am," I said almost silently but she heard me loud and clear.***
***She stood in front of me and started laying out the rules, plenty of rules that I hoped and prayed I would remember. "Rule number one you will listen to everything I tell you and you will do everything I tell you to do. You will not look any male werewolf directly in the eyes for every werewolf is superior to you because you are just a human. looking at any male werewolf in the eyes is very disrespectful especially if you are just a pathetic little human and they will punish you. You will work hard and you will serve every werewolf in this castle with respect. You are not allowed to talk to anyone unless asked to and unless it is required of you. You will only eat twice a day, in the afternoon and the evening when I call you. The only time you are allowed to rest is when every other servant sleeps which is at midnight up until 5 am. These are your rules, for now, follow me closely" she said walking out and I followed her very closely.***
***She showed me a few rooms downstairs that I would be helping the other servants clean, she showed me the humungous kitchen I would be working in most of the time because she said it would be better If I made my appearance in the castle more scarce since literally, everyone in the castle hated humans with a passion. She didn't even show me upstairs or on the third floor.***
***"You are strictly not allowed to go anywhere else other than the areas I showed you. If you are even seen anywhere near the third floor you will be punished severely. That is where the king and his family usually stay when he is at the castle. As you well know he will be here soon or in a few days, It is best you stay out of site If you still want to live." she said as we returned to the kitchen were a few servants were really busy cooking or cleaning.***
***"Yes, ma'am I understand," I said standing right beside her. A few servants noticed our presence and two of them walked towards us with identical smiles.***
***The one with short black her that framed her round face spoke first "Emma where in the world have you been, the kitchen has been so busy without you! I was actually worried those royal guards were harassing you again." she said with wide green eyes. I could see she was genuinely worried about her friend.***
***"I am okay but what happened is even worse than royal guards harassing me," Emma said narrowing her eyes at me. The two girls followed her deadly stare and they both gasped in shock.***
***The second girl with long wavy dark brown hair that could easily be mistaken for black stepped closer to me and I moved back a little in fear. "A human, what is she doing here?" She asked staring at me.***
***Emma sighed, "Somehow the beta thought it would be a great idea to make this thing a servant. Dont tell me I'm the only who thinks this is ridiculous Cassy"***
***Cassy who was still staring at me rolled her eyes and finally moved back giving me my space back. I released a breath I didn't even realize I was holding."She is so dead, It's only a matter of time before one wolf loses its temper and rips her head off. We can barely survive here as omega's imagine what will happen to her! She is just human."Cassy said shaking her head and walking back to a huge sink.***
***I wanted to cry, she was right and I was good as dead. Everyone in the kitchen finally noticed that I was human. Some looked at me with shock and some looked at me with pure hatred as if they would slaughter me with the knives they were using to cut tomatoes. The only thing stopping them was Emma who gave them devilish glares.***
***"What are you all looking at, get back to work now!" She shouted at them with authority, she must have been the head servant or something. She looked back at me "You, go help Cassy with the dishes now. You will be helping in the kitchen a lot. I will be back to check on you frequently"***
***I swallowed hard in fear, she was leaving me alone with all these werewolves in one room. They would eat me alive or prepare me as the royals dinner, "Yes, ma'am"I said anyways. I had no choice but to do as I was told even if it meant sending me to my death.***
