My winter treasure

Chapter 7.

The night was cold and frightening, as best I could I covered myself with several blankets, and silently listened to the snow hitting the window behind the curtains. This will be a long winter, and now I fear that my alpha will no longer give me his warmth again at night.

Did I make a mistake? Is this my fault? Is Theo mad at me for the things I said to him?

Those questions kept repeating in my mind non-stop all night long, as I couldn't sleep for a minute, I just lay in bed, missing Theo and regretting my mistakes.

When the snow stopped falling and the sun began to peek through the black clouds, the door to my room opened again.

"Theo?" I asked hopefully, sitting up in bed with a start.

"Good morning Mr. Nicholas, I brought you your breakfast" The soft voice of an omega girl rang through the room, entering the room with a tray in her hands.

I immediately lowered my head sadly, it wasn't Theo....

"My name is Lisa, and I will be your main maid from now on" Said the girl, approaching me to leave the tray next to me on the bed: "You can call me and ask me for anything at any time of the day, I will always be available for you..."

"What about Theo?" I asked softly.

"Mr. Gold left early in the morning in his car, he asked me to bring you something delicious to eat and made sure you take a bath."

Theo is not here? I don't think it's a bad sign, I mean, he hasn't kicked me to the curb. But I can't help but have a terrible feeling inside, not having my alpha and after such a weird night like last night, I can only think that something bad happened and that's why Theo isn't here.

"Go ahead Mr. Nick, you must eat your breakfast, the cook of the mansion prepared something special for you" Insisted Lisa, bringing the tray even closer to me.

I'm not hungry, but maybe because I knew Theo asked me to eat, I did. Slowly and silently I ate the breakfast that Lisa brought me, and then with her help I went to take a shower in the private bathroom. Everything was cold and gray without Theo, even in the middle of all the luxuries of his house, I felt so lonely... I couldn't stop thinking about him, wondering where he had gone so early, and why he didn't come back all night.

"Have you thought about cutting your hair, sir?" Asked Lisa, as she helped me dry my long black hair.

"Not really."

"If you want I can help you to do it, nowadays it is not so fashionable to have long hair in men, not even if they are omegas."

"I'll think about it..."

My answers were cutting and cold to the girl, but I couldn't help it, my mind was with Theo, thinking about him non-stop, as if my omega was suffering from not having him around.

"Are you an omega?" I asked the maid, somewhat confused: "How can you work here?"

We omegas are forbidden to work, it's not a law as such, but we omegas legally can't own anything, not even money, so it doesn't make sense for someone to work for free if they can't get paid for it. So seeing an omega girl working was very curious to me.

"Well... That's thanks to Mr. Theo. My family has always been part of the Gold family servants, and when Mr. Gold became independent, my parents were some of the servants who came with him to this house. When I came of age, which is when most omegas marry, I didn't want to, so Mr. Theo proposed that I work here as his maid. He can't give me money, but he doubled my beta mother's salary, so it's kind of pay for my work."

"Theo did that? And you're the only one?" I asked in surprise.

"Yes, Mr. Gold is a generous person, he has more than 5 omegas working for him, some in the kitchen or in the gardens, and there is also another butler who is an omega like me, but he works in his parents' mansion since last year."
