Sold To My Alpha Mate

MAYA.

I recounted the encounter with Emily to her and how she had scolded me for speaking to Prince Lucas. She was shocked and her eyes widened in surprise with her lips forming a small ‘o’ of understanding. I told her exactly what Emily had said.From NôvelDrama.Org.

“I’m sorry, Maya. I didn’t realise it would have caused such trouble. But it’s not your fault.” She said, I shook my head, pushing aside my feelings of self-doubt.

“It’s nobody’s fault. I guess it was just supposed to happen. Let’s not talk about this anymore. Let’s focus on the most important thing and see to it that we get it done. But most importantly , we have to stay out of trouble, no matter what.” I finished. We both quickly went back to our work when we heard a knock on the door. We finished the rest and put aside our worries. After that, we returned to our room feeling so tired.

It had been a very long day and we had spent a large part of it standing and working; and the only moment I’d chosen to take some break ruined the day. All I wanted to do at this point was sleep and forget what had happened. After my bath, I changed not not clothes and fell asleep soon enough despite the rotten day I just had. However, the both of us woke up to somebody pounding at our door.

I jumped up from bed only to see Tianna full awake. She was sitting on her bed, but she was staring at the door, wide-eyed, with her dagger in her hand. I reached for mine and slowly approached the door. There were screams everywhere and footsteps thudded up and down the passageway.

The people seemed to be running, and I had no idea why they were running but whatever it was, it didn’t seem to be a good thing at all. We opened the door and opened it quickly. But there was no longer any person there. I walked out of the room and watched the chaos unfold. Fear gripped my heart as I watched the maids running up the stairs.

“We are under attack! The Packhouse has been attacked!” The male voice was loud, clear and full of panic as well.

“We need to get out of here!” I said to her, grabbing her hands. “Where are they going?” She asked, not so panicked. She had faced even worse situations in her time as a guard so it wasn’t a new thing.

“I don’t know.” I replied, “Let’s just follow them.” I said, before we both slipped into the crowd and ran up the stairs. I could hear growls, guttural growls coming from just outside the main entrance. I guessed those were the intruders that had attacked us. Following the other maids, we both ran towards the designated quarters where we would be safe. Some guards were there to see us through.

But before we could reach safety, the pandemonium got worse. The intruders had entered the Packhouse and had attacked some guards. From the way their growls sounded so close, I knew they were very close to us. It wasn’t long before they caught up to us.

They tore down anyone in their way but attacked the guards to fight them since the women weren’t a problem. The guards immediately blocked off the line and stood to fight the beasts. The rogues looked way prepared and ready to fight and the guards seemed like they were scared.

The rogues lunged at the guards and it wasn’t long before one of the guards struck one of the rogues on the side of his face with his claws and ripped off a good amount of his face. His blood and brain splattered on the floor, followed by some muscles. It was a disgusting sight, and I couldn’t leave. It seemed as if my instincts to protect had suddenly awoken. I turned to Tianna as soon as two rogues approached. I knew the guards would be overpowered in no time.

“Go up, and do what you can. We should take advantage of the chaos and see if we can find anything.” I said to her, patting her on the chest and urging her to leave. She gave me a very concerned look and asked.

“I’m worried about you. Those are ferocious rogues and…” I stopped her immediately, before she would worry herself to death.

“Don’t worry about me. I will take care of them myself.” I said. “Now, go. We don’t have much time. Try to see if you can do anything. When this has ended, we can talk about it.” I finished before signalling her to move. She reluctantly nodded and hugged me before bolting up the stairs.

The two rogues descended on the guard who had just killed one of them and started to fight him. The guard was doing his best but the rogues were fast, and they were already outnumbered.

I had barely hurried down when one of them hit the guard who fell on the floor and crashed with a thud. He let out a yell of pain as the rogues circled him like a prey. They were about to strike their last blow when I jumped into the fray with a growl and pushed the both of them off.

The first one came charging at me, and I swiftly dodged his attack before setting out my leg. He tripped and fell on the floor before I got on his back and took out my dagger. I plunged it on his neck and carved off his neck before he knew what was happening.

He died on the spot.

The second rogue threw himself at me but I struck him in the heart. It was a sad calculation that had been made out of anger but I was happy at least that I got to kill him. As soon as he dropped dead, I helped the other guard finish off the rogue he was fighting before rushing off to the wounded guard.

“Go protect the main entrance. I’ll take care of him.” I commanded, even though I wasn’t one. I was just an ordinary maid here.
