Love And Hatred (GXG)

Four

I woke up after a couple of maids started yelling my name, it was early in the morning and Dione would show me where to work and what to do. I put on my uniform and walked out of the room, all of them had already left so when I saw Dione stand there with a displeased look on her face I knew I had come too late. "Eight minutes late, do better." She spoke before walking off, I followed her and groaned.

She showed me the room I was supposed to clean. It was big and seemed like an office of some sort. "Make sure to clean everything, but do not go into any of the cabinets, those are not yours to touch or clean." I nodded. I wondered what could be in there, perhaps something I am not supposed to see. "And no, there is nothing important in them, she simply does not like that we go through her work matters or personal belongings." I nodded again.

"I will come by a couple of times and come get you when it is lunch, be good." She left and I smiled. I took a good look at the office, it was dark, with a desk, two chairs across from each other, a bookshelf, a sofa, and some plants. It was a cozy place, a place I would not mind staying in. The bookshelf had all kinds of books, I quite enjoyed reading them. We only had one bookshelf in the pack home, I had read them all multiple times since I was a child. I wanted to read new ones, the ones Lilith had. 

I decided it was best that I started cleaning, I got lost in thought for a while when cleaning so much that I had not noticed Dione watching me in the doorway until she had finally spoken. "You are doing well, I am proud you are doing your job." She smiled and looked at the spots where she had seen me clean, she glided her finger over the surface of the desk I had just finished cleaning and looked at it, no trace of dirt was found. "I am pleased, continue what you are doing. Two hours until lunch."

I was left alone again and began cleaning, the room was pretty clean from before, I suppose it was because she always had maids to do it. I took a glance at the two drawers that were attached to the desk and decided that it wouldn't hurt to look so I did and with my luck, the door swung open, and in came the mistress of the house.

Of course I struggled to get back up, she must have noticed what I had done. "Well, well. What do we have here? A disobedient wolf?" She walked up to me, the height difference was more obvious when we were that close. It made me a bit nervous, but I would never admit that to the vampiress. "I was told to clean this room, that is what I am doing," I replied.

"Don't play smart with me, It makes me rather irritated." She walked past me and opened her drawers and sighed. She took some papers out of the drawer. I felt her hand on my upper back, her hot breath close to my ear. "You are on thin ice." She whispered before leaving. Goosebumps formed quickly on my skin in a shiver. The vampire turned once to look back and then left the room.

That woman was intimidating, what would she do if she caught me doing something I wasn't supposed to do again? I decided it would be best if I didn't think of it so I began wiping the bookshelf and the books. After two hours I was finished and satisfied with my work. Dione came to get me for lunch.

Most of the workers were already there. I sat down beside Dione as I was supposed to for some reason. The food was good, so much better than what we had received in the mines and so much more. I looked around the room, the queen was nowhere to be seen. "Why are most of the workers here women?" I asked Dione.

She watched me for a few seconds. "That is what our queen picked out, you are here because you were personally picked by her. There are multiple factors as to why you were picked." She spoke. I hummed. I mean it did make sense since we worked for her, of course she needed to know her workers. She leaned into me again to tell me something else. "As I said, she likes taking her maids to bed, more female workers means more women to bed." I leaned into her ear and asked "Has she bedded you before?" Dione ignored my question and continued to eat her food.
