Chapter 86
There were different sort of noises around me but it felt like I couldn’t hear any of it because of the awkwardness that Surrounded myself and Christie in the kitchen.
The maid had only spoken two words to me since the beginning of the day and I couldn’t tell why. She didn’t look like the was upset with me but maybe her special ability was hiding her emotions.
Christie was my best friend, my only friend if I was being truthful to myself and the fact that she wasn’t talking to me bothered me a lot. In fact, she wasn’t even looking in my direction at all. Only pretending to concentrate on the vegetables in front of her.
I knew she was pretending because they were all properly diced but she refused to pack them up. Sighing heavily. I inched closer to her.
“I think those vegetables are properly diced Christie, you don’t have to completely murder them.” I said, using her words. from once upon a time.
The smile that danced on the maid’s lips, broke a little of the ice and it made me smile a little too.
“What’s the problem? Why have you been ignoring me all morning?” I asked and she sighed heavily turning in my direction for the first time that day.
“Are you ready to tell me what happened last night or are we just going to continue pretending like the Alpha wasn’t standing behind you and you didn’t go up to his room afterwards?” She asked and I bristled in my spot, shrugging my
shoulders.
“What do you mean?” I asked stupidly. I knew exactly what she meant but I did not exactly have an answer to it so the best route was feigning ignorance,
Christie finally dropped the knife in her hands and turned to face me completely and for the first time since I met the maid, I saw anger dance within her eyes.
“Do not take me for a fool Freya. I understand if you don’t want to tell me about this. I understand if you want to keep a part of your life private but don’t respond to me like you’re talking to fool and I don’t know what I’m talking about Christie said.
I sighed heavily, feeling terrible that I offended the maid.
“I honestly don’t know what to say Christie.” I whispered truthfully.
“Well you can start from telling me what exactly is going on between you and the Alpha. Is that the reason Jessy has been sleeping in my room for a while now and you’re always up so early in the morning and acting weird”
She finished folding her arms in front of her and although the maid was not much taller or bigger than me, in the moment she looked intimidating and threatening. I ran a hand through my face and sighed once more.
There was no need denying any of it or trying to come up with an excuse, it would only prolong things and could make her angrier, which I really did not want
“Well, I don’t think I can explain it but I’ve been spending some time with the Alpha.“”
“Okay… so that means you’re in a relationship with him?”

Chapter 86
“No, not that, I’m not exactly in a relationship with the Alpha. In fact, it’s a little complicated asthe moment and I’m still trying to figure it out myself.”
“Do you love him?”
I had opened my mouth to answer this question but I shut it again when I realized that I couldn’t exactly answer the question.
Was I in love the Alpha? I liked him. A lot. But I couldn’t be sure I was in love with him, maybe because I had never been in love with anyone.
But wasn’t that the point of love? It came to ‘one and consumed them, whether or not they knew what it was or how to identify it.
“I–I don’t know.” I finally whispered and Christie pulled me into a hug.
The feeling of the maids arms around me was blissful and I just enjoyed her scent around me. Talking about the Alpha with someone else other than Jessy felt relieving. It felt like a weight had been lifted off my chest.
