The Alpha and the Maid

Chapter 8

Three days. That's how long it's been since I have seen my mate. My Zephania. Dan says he is taking care of some business and won't be back for a bit, but I can't help but think that he is avoiding me.

Don't people who usualy find their mate go straight to them and never let them go?

I don't understand.

I picked up the last bit of laundry on the floor. Once news got out about how quickly and efficiently I cleaned the soon to be alphas room, so many people began to ask me to clean out their room and they would pay a pretty good price I couldn't refuse. Soon I will be able to buy thing for myself and my baby without anyone elses help. 

So I guess you can say I practically started my own private business and I love it. Lizzy and Maria are also teaching me how to cook different kinds of food. Now I make pancakes every morning. Sometimes I will make them for lunch when I have a break or dinner when I crave them which is all the time. Dan tries to show me different ways to eat them but I stick with just the syrup and the powdered sugar. 

I made my way down the stairs of the third floor where the boys live with a basket filled with James laundry. I got use to the stair by now and I make sure I know who's room and laundry I am doing so when it is finished, I can neatly put it away. 

I passes Maria on the way who was playing with Alessandro in the living room. I smiled at her because she truly loves playing with him. Even Alpha Jeremiah will take time off his alpha duties to spend time with his wife and play with my son while I am working. 

It has barely been a week and already I feel like this is home. 

I begin to make my way to the laundry room which has about seven washers and dryers. It is a big pack. I was about to open the door when I heard some giggling from the other side. It was a female I know that because what male giggle. 

"Oh yes that feels good" the female moans.

A blush comes to my face as I heard that. I don't want to intrude but I have duties to attend to and I make sure everything is finished before people come back to the pack house after school or work and patrol. 

I knock on the door hoping they would hear and begin to walk inside only to freeze on the spot. Tears fill my eyes as I look at the teen couple in front of me. 

"Oh Zeph." The girl moans. They haven't notice I entered the room.

I felt as if my heart is shattering into a million pieces. My mate is. . is cheating on me. Large tears begin to make their way down my cheeks. A choked sob makes its way out of my throat causing my mate to freeze as he is sucking on the neck of the girl. He slowly lifts his head and turns it in my direction. 

His beautiful eyes make contact with mine and for a brief second I thought I saw regret but is soon replaced by a blank look and a smirk appears on his face.

"Um excuse me you are interrupting something" The girl said. 

I took my eyes off my mate and looked at he girl. She was very pretty with long beautiful blond hair with sparkling hazel eyes. She was thin with tight short shorts. Her tank top was thrown on the floor so she stood there with just a bra on. 

"Hello is anyone home?" She said making me look at her eyes. She was giving me an annoyed look. "Zephy baby tell her to leave so we can get back to what we were doing."

She rubs is bare chest that I could help but stair at. 

"Leave for a bit Victoria." Zeph said with his deep voice that will make any girl swoon.

"What?! Why should I have to go?" She wined making even me wince with how high her voice went.

"Because I said so" He snapped at her. She grumbled a little picking up her shirt and walking out of the laundry room while giving me a death glare. 

I turned my head back to my mate. He was staring at me with no emotion on his face. No regret that he was kissing someone else.

"Zep-"

"Don't say my name" He snapped at me cutting me off and making me flinch.

"But why?" I croaked. His facial expression turned angry.

"Why? Why the hell would I want a slut for a mate?"

The breath was knocked out of me as he said that. He was calling me a slut. Memories of being called a whore and slut came rushing back to me. Tears continued to pour down my face. I opened my mouth to say something but he cut me off again.

"I waited my whole life for a mate. Some one beautiful and kind. Some one who waited for me as well. Instead I get you" He spat looking at me with such anger I began to tremble. "A slut who already has a kid that was not from me. Someone who is a rogue and a disgrace to our kind. Tell me mate how many men have you slept with. I can smell you have been with quite a few. Do you even know who the father of your disgrace is? huh?"

My breathes came in short pants as I listened to what he was saying. I was frozen. I couldn't speak.

"You can't can you?" He spat again. "I Zephania Abrahms reject you Sasha as my mate. My pathetic mate."

My legs gave out from underneath me as he said this. The man who I waited for and prayed for my entire life, the one person who is to love me unconditionally is rejecting me. The pain in my chest could not be described in words. The clothes I brought were all over the floor as the pain continued. My heart felt as if it was strangled, stabbed and stepped upon.

I looked up into the eyes of the man I called mate. They held pain and determination in them before they turned blank. Then he walked out. He left me.

I have no idea how long I stayed on the floor clutching my chest replaying everything that has just happened. I wanted to die at that second. The image of my parents so happy and loving felt as if it were all lies, that mates only caused more pain.

I picked myself up off the floor along with the clothes. I felt void of emotion at the moment. I can literally feel walls begin to surround my wounded heart as concrete stiffened it making a solid barrier. I stood up and looked around the room. 

"Never again" I whispered. Never again will I feel this pain. Never again will I let someone bring me down, never again will my heart be open to any man. The only one allowed is my son. Never again will I love my mate Zephania.

Hey everyone,
