Chapter 84
Mariam
I enjoyed my evening walk with Alpha Aiden, and I also missed grandma. How I wish she was here to see how happy I am and how my smile is helping to overcome other problems.
He made sure I got to my room safe and sound before wishing me a good night. I hurried to shower before climbing into bed to sleep.
"Don’t you think Luna will be a problem for us whenever she is not around?" Clara asked, Yes, I know she is worried about me, but Luna is a mother and definitely has other children she has to look after, so she can never harm me.
"I doubt that; she is a mother, and soon she will take me as her child." I replied, but Clara was still not cool with it.
"Clara, we should be thinking about how to recover soon so we can start training and get used to each other's strength." I reminded her.
"Yeah, you are right; let’s go to bed now." She replied, and I wished her good night as I closed my eyes instantly to sleep.
I had a terrible nightmare and was told to leave since I came with doom. I refused to believe it, and then I woke up to see Luna in my room. I yelled because, at first, I never thought she was the one until I got a proper look at her.
"I am sorry for shouting; I got scared seeing you; beside, how did you get into my room?" I asked in a polite manner, but she got angry. "So he made you bold, right? You even call the room yours; what next, will you take from me?"
"Ma'am, please do not get the whole thing wrong; I am not here for any gain; I just got saved by the Alpha, and he brought me here. I really do not know why you hate me." I should not have said these to her, but I felt I needed some answers as well. How can one just hate me for no reason—a mother at that?
"You are right; I hate you with passion, so what are you going to do about it, hum? I am not here to harm you, but if I were you, I would sleep with an eye open because at the end of the day, you are going to leave my home." She said that to me, and I understand she talks to me that way because she doesn’t like me, and there is no way she is going to mean everything she just said to me.
"I am sorry you hate me. What can I do to make you like me, ma’am?" I asked, but she laughed so loudly, saying, "You want me to like you, right?"
"Yes, ma’am, I will do everything to earn a likeness from you." I added.
"Very well, kill yourself, and I will be happy." She said and took her leave immediately, and I wondered why she would suggest such a thing to me.
"I told you, but you will not listen." Clara said to remind me again.
"Yeah, I know, but it’s just a matter of time, and she will learn to accept me in her home." I said it with full confidence.
"Are you blind to see what is happening? She is here to kill you. Why will a reasonable lady sneak into your bedroom at night? Tell me if not to kill you once and for all, then throw your body away." Clara got angry, and I noticed I was getting angry as well.
"Enough, Clara; she is not here to kill me. Okay, good night." I ended the conversation and went to sleep immediately.

I woke up extremely late the next morning, and the sun was out already. I sluggishly stood on my feet and opened the curtain to get a glimpse of the view outside.
"Good morning, Clara."
"Good morning, Mariam."
"So what are we doing today?" I asked her.
"What else but get enough rest to recover as quickly as possible?" She replied, and I smiled, saying, "You are right. Let’s get better and then do something interesting as a werewolf." I added it and got ready to take my bath.
I finished with my bath and stepped out, trying to look for Alpha Aiden, but I ended up seeing a maid that’s young like me: "Hello, Miss Mariam, my name is Sophia, and I am your new maid."
"What do you mean, maid?" "I am sorry you must be mistaken; I am not a boss here; I am a nobody as well, so I do not deserve a maid."
She smiled, saying, "No, you are wrong; you are Alpha Aiden's special quest, and that’s one reason you must have a maid." She explained, and I felt at ease, but still, it's just too much. The kindness he is showing me is more than any good person will do to me, and I really need to repay him.
"Okay, Sophia, but never call yourself a maid; we are both friends, okay?"
"Yes, Miss Sophia."
"Can you tell me where Alpha Aiden is? I haven’t seen him this morning, and also his beta as well." I asked, and the response I got made me sad a little.
"I am sorry, Miss Mariam, but the Alpha is hardly present in the morning except at night when he returns."
"Oh, I see." Gosh, does that mean I am only going to see the Alpha when he returns at night? What am I going to do now that he is not home? I have no friends here. I'm still thinking about what to do with my time before I realise I haven’t eaten breakfast.
"Sophia, I am hungry; can I get breakfast?"
"At your service, ma’am, I will be right back; wait at the dining." She replied immediately and took her leave while I headed to the dining room, which was empty.
I waited for the maid, but when she returned, her hands were empty, and I wondered why. "Did you forget something?"
"No, Miss Mariam, I was told to leave the kitchen, and there is an order saying no food should be served to you."
"What? There must be a mistake somewhere. Show me the kitchen." I added and followed her; truly, when I got to the kitchen, the maids in charge refused to serve me. "But I am hungry; and I know Alpha Aiden will not make such an order."
"Look, Bitch, if you are hungry, start cleaning; we don’t give food to lazy asses like you." The chef said angrily to me.
Unexpectedly, the other maid who got busy with washing plates poured me dirty water and spat on me, leaving me alone, and boom, I saw Luna with the chef and the maids.
The maids were crying, saying I had harmed them because they told me food would be ready in a few minutes. Tears gathered in my eyes. I really don’t know what else to do.
