Chapter 55
I wasn’t sure how long it had been since he had been awake and watching me but I could only imagine that he would have been thinking through everything just the way I had been doing since my eyes flipped open.
Everything that had happened last night was far from my expectations. It was surreal.
And perfect.
But not in the way that everyone assumed the word to be.
This was far from the way most girls described their perfect. My situation wasn’t exactly the fairytale that most people yearned for but it suited me.
I wondered what would happen if the Alpha came out to meet me on his bed again. Maybe him exiting the room was a warning for me. I could hear the shower running, so it meant that I had enough time to leave the room.
There had been no words exchanged between us while he was still on the bed and I had been unable to discern the look in his eyes in the darkness of the room but what if he got back into the room and got furious that I was still curled up in his bed.
I slipped out of the bed and began pulling my clothes onto my frame. The blinking red lights of the clock on the nightstand showed 4:11
Once I was done slipping on my clothes, I moved with stealth towards the door, pulling it open, then shutting it firmly but quietly behind me the moment I exited.
The entire house was eerily quiet and I knew that there was no one milling around at this time but it felt as though the walls were watching me, judging me in fact.
The lights in the hallway were turned on and they seemed to be beating heavily down on me. It felt too bright and even as I walked down the grand stairs it felt like every step I took had the lights shining down on me like some sort of spotlight
1 tiptoed in the direction of the maid quarters but a creaking in the kitchen stopped me in my tracks.
“I couldn’t remember if the Alpha had pulled shut the door when we had come in hours earlier but I had a feeling that he would have. He wasn’t the sort of person that would leave things like that to chances.
I inched closer to the kitchen, heart thudding wildly in its cage but before I could get to the edge of the doorframe, Emilia walked out of the kitchen almost bumping into my frame.
“Fuck.” She whisper yelled, obviously surprised with my presence.
She continued to stare wide eyed at my frame and for a moment I felt self conscious. Was it obvious were I was coming from and what I had just done?
Could she tell?
Before I could go off thinking about that my eyes caught her fingers. They were stained with something, but I couldn’t figure out what it was from my position and the moment she noticed my eyes on her hands she moved them behind her back and 1 furrowed my brows in suspicion at her.
She cleared her throat and the surprised wide eyed look that had been painting her face eased and was replaced with the judgmental mask that usually always painted her face.

She looked behind me as though to check where I must have been coming from and when she geasured with her eyes, the distance between myself and the stairs and myself and the door that led to the maid quarters her eyes furrowed in suspicion.
“Why are you up at this time? Where are you coming from?” She asked, in that ever judgement filled, bitter tone of hers that I would never get used to.
The tone annoyed me, she shouldn’t also be up at this time and her previous location was suspicious, but I was yet to judge it question her. Why did she feel like she could do it to me?
“I could ask you the same. It’s really early in the morning and you’re coming from the garden I presume. Is there a reason for that?” I countered, choosing to ignore her question.
She looked like she were about to say something but seemed to think better of it. Mouth opening and closing like a finish out of water, but then she clamped her lips shut, before sighing in what seemed to be frustration.
“I couldn’t sleep so I was getting some fresh air. She replied, doing her best to avoid eye contact.
It didn’t add up.
She wasn’t allowed out in the garden this late. I had been there just some hours before but that was different. I had an invitation from the person that had set the rule..
Then her dirty hands.
“I don’t have to explain myself to you anyway” She stated.
Huffing in annoyance before moving to walk past me with her nose in the air.
Muttering about ‘nosy sluts‘ as she went.
As the walked, the movements caused her pockets to expose some of its contents. There was something peeking out of it. I squinted my eyes, trying to figure out what it was but she was out of my sight before I could.
Since the punishment involving all three of us. Emilia had been even more cold towards me.
She refused to look, work or do anything in my direction but I didn’t mind. Not one bit. In fact I was grateful for it.
But should I be worried about my recent discovery? Was this something I had to report to the Alpha?
I didn’t exactly know what she had been up to and quite frankly I had no proof of what I had just witnessed.
Shrugging my shoulders in defeat I continued in the direction of my room.
