Chapter 38 76% "I heard that he once had a mate, but she died of mysterious cales. Of course, I can't really be sure if that is the truth but it's the only rumor that mills around when it comes to the topic and it's not hard to believe. The Alpha is so stoic up and unfriendly, also very ruthless and maybe all of it could stem from the loss of his mate. I'm just saying" Christie said shrugging her shoulders.
She returned to washing the dishes while I pondered on what I had just been told.
"Did you ever meet any evidence that she might have existed, during your tworking here?" I asked again and Christie shook her head in the negative.
"Never, although I hear that after it happened Master tried to wipe out every proof that she ever existed. I'm not sure about any of it. The only maid that has been here the longest to be able to actually verify if this is actually true has refused to say a wor-" Christie was still in the middle of her sentence but a loud voice had cut her off, making her as well as myself jump in our SPOL "How many times do I have to tell you to stop spreading shit that isn't true?! This is all you do, stand here and gossip. Spread untrue stuff with all the new maids. You're supposed to be working Christie, but that's not what you're interested in doing. As a matter of fact you have no more tto actually work because you spend all your tchatting and spreading rumors!" Zoe was stood at the entrance of the kitchen and I could see the smoke fumes that cof her as a result of her anger.
Her screaming voice had attracted other maids to the kitchen and I could only hope that the Alpha couldn't hear the ruckus and tried to investigate the cause of it.

-I've told you before that it's all been a rumor. The Alpha has had no mate before. None of his mates ever died, but you still insist on spreading otherwise. You tell this sstory to every new maid. What the hell is your problem?" I could see Christie shrink besidewith her head bowed and felt bad for asking her the question in the first place, but something about Zoe was off.
She was pissed no doubt, but it was more than that. I could understand why she might be angry with Christie for talking about a rumor that she had repeatedly debunked according to her but the way she was acting was strange.
She looked too angry for the situation at hand. Christie wasn't hurting anyone by saying the Alpha's mate was dead. It was one of those informations that whether or not they were true, it didn't entirely make any difference, especially to the maids.
But Zoe was so mad one would think that the rumor had been about her personally.
"I know I'm not the new maid been fed rumors so that leaves only one other maid here." Emilia saldand when I looked in her direction, she had her hands on her waist and the look in her eyes spelt judgment.
It infuriatedthat Emilia always wanted to try and press my buttons by throwing mean comments atevery single chance she got, but I usually did my best to ignore her.
She began making her way towardsand when she was only couple inches away she began speaking again. "You're barely fit to work here and you keep ruining it with even more stupid stuff. If you haven't noticed, everyone around here are fresh maidens that are worthy. Not sluts with children She spat in my direction.
It happened before I could control it. Her words had stung so deep that they had forced my wolf to the top and before I could help it, I was swinging my hands out in her direction and riking her across the face.

"How dare you?" Emilia raged and she had just begun to move from her like move spot to attackwhen a throat clearing had sounded by the door frame. All the maids whipped their heads in its direction and when my eyes connected with the Alpha's, I felt all the fight leave my body.
His eyes left mine and I could see them search the room, as though he were looking for something. He found it in the next second.
Hozoe.
Even from my spot at the end of the room I could see the anger and disappointment in his gaze as he looked at her and I watched as Zoe bowed her head in shame.
She was the head maid, none of this should have been happening in her presence, but she had been the one to start Zoe, Emilia and Freya. Straight to the punishment room. I should meet all three of you on your knees," The Alpha instructed turning around to exit the room.
My heart dropped to my stomach.
Not again.
