Second Thoughts After Divorce

Chapter 10

Rod’s POV

It has now been two whole days and the Alpha still hasn’t spoken one word to me….

en still sent food un to

He hasn’t killed me yet either, which I was eternally grateful for, in fact, he even

sent food up to my room three times a day!

Ruth came every morning, handing me some new clothes and a list of chores for the day- all to be done during set hours of course, when the Alpha

was out….

I wasn’t sure whether I was supposed to be offended that he now couldn’t stand the sight of me (not that he would be the only one) or if I should be relieved that he’s left me alone since the incident….

Despite my chores continuing, I haven’t been told to clean his office since what happened either.

My chores now consisted of cleaning his bedroom, bathroom and today I was told to do his laundry – which thankfully- there was a small laundry room on our floor.

Having his own laundry space, only meant that I didn’t have to carry the items back and forth up and downstairs like I thought I would overall task was easy!

I currently resided in the small, warm laundry room, enjoying the scent of the fresh clean clothes. I was in a routine now of washing, drying and taking the fresh clothes out from the dryer before folding them in to set piles of shirts, t–shirts, shorts, trousers, jeans, underwear etc.

Once I had finished with his items, I decided to toss

css in some of my own for a quick spin–meaning I would have some extras in my room despite Ruth bringing me up new clothes and underwear each morning.

I would soon enough have a full wardrobe of my own at this rate!

The Alpha stuck to his word though and did in fact send me up some comter clothes to do my chores in as opposed to wearing my rag.

The fabric he sent was soft, yet plain, and consisted of either a leggings and t–shirt set or a shorts and a t–shirt set. Ruth had so far given me two baby pink sets, two grey sets and today had brought me two black sets.

Even with my cleaning clothes, I was now spoiled for choice!

It was much brighter and nicer than the rags they so kindly forced me to wear back at my old pack… the mere difference in our packs already was just uncanny! It seriously was a case of rags to riches when I compared my old cleaning job to this one.

Despite the sadness that set within me, having not spoken or achieved anymore of the Alphas attention, I felt more content in my day to day life here already.

I had to remind myself, that although the Alpha had been overly kind to me in my first few days here, he owes me nothing!

He doesn’t have to see me or even speak to me regularly. I was getting ahead of myself…. the bottom line was, I am now his maid, and I am to serve him to the best possible standard if I want to stay here.

I enjoyed working on this floor by myself though, with Ruth being the only person I had interacted with so far besides the Alpha, as it seems nobody ever comes up here.

I did sometimes stare out of the windows in longing to be outside perhaps even helping the gardeners.

I would often stop to look out at the massive back yard coated with bright green grass, colourful flowers and a large pool and outside bar. It was truly like a scene from a movie.

I decided in the end, that it was luxury enough to even admire such grounds from my window, as opposed to being out in them…..

I didn’t have to go outside….

The Alpha probably wouldn’t want me outside anyway, incase word got out that the Alpha had a runt as his maid.

I swallow at the thought, deciding I was much safer upstairs, hidden away from his pack keeping to myself.

Chapter 10

I press the machine button on, having added some scented beads to the wash, before taking the first tall pile of clothing down the hallway towards the Alphas bedroom….

By speaking more with Ruth each day, I learned that she was retiring soon, which was why the Alpha needed a new maid for the floor.

Ruth explained that the females in the pack would jump at the chance to be on the Alphas floor on a daily basis, which is why he made the right choice with m me as Ruth said I was the humble and trustworthy‘ choice.

I don’t know if the Alpha would agree with that anymore though… in his eyes, I had already ruined that small trust by snooping around in his office when I was only supposed to be cleaning it…

Ruth was a lovely woman though, and I was glad she was able to retire soon and enjoy her life. Her husband was one of the packs trainers, since he was now too elderly to fight in the wars himself, so the Alpha had posted him as a trainer for the pack which Ruth said he enjoyed nonetheless.

I also learned that she has two children – a daughter and a son- and that her daughter has three kids of her own ages four, six and ten who she adores.

She couldn’t wait to retire and spend some more quality time with them, however, I did feel sadness knowing that soon, I wouldn’t see her as much.

I would be alone again, like I always have been….

runt.

I had grown fond of our daily conversations, having never met a woman who seemed to look past the fact that I was very evidently a weak ru

Ruth didn’t seem to judge me at all, and I was more grateful for that than anything else….

I enter the Alphas large walk–in closet, having now roughly worked out where his things go, as I waste no more time before beginning to organise his laundry.

I repeat the process with the second pile, bringing it back to his room and organising the items again…

During my daydreaming, my body tenses instantly when hearing the bedroom door suddenly slam shut

It must be him….. have I gone past my time slot? Maybe he doesn’t know I’m still in here?

With that, having decided that I don’t want to run into anymore trouble with the Alpha, , I exit the closet with my head down–eyes fixed on the floor.

“Alpha sorry… I haven’t checked the time so I may be over with my chores… I was just putting away your laundry- I will leave and come back later to finish. I announce, not daring to make eye contact, before I shuffle my way towards his bedroom door to leave.

“Rose…” His command comes, as I freeze inches from the handle – halted in my steps.

“Alpha?” I reply, my back to him still.

“I am going for a shower. Finish your work.” His curt response comes next, as I suck in a breath.

I can do this…..

I nod twice, exiting the room to head back for the next pile of laundry… I’m almost done anyway!

Whilst I am there, I move my own bundle into the dryer, before returning back to the room with the last of the Alphas clean clothes.

Thankfully, the Alpha had already gone in to shower, which meant that I could attempt to finish folding and putting away his clothes before he got

out…

I fumbled with the folding, doing the best that I could in the time that I was given, before I rummaged through the set drawers – placing each thing in an appropriate space.

Just as I was on to the last pair of trousers – I heard the bathroom door unlock – which meant he had already finished…

I mentally curse, having wanted to avoid causing him anymore stress, as I tuck the trousers away in their drawer.

I look around to ensure I hadn’t missed anything, before inhaling a slow steady breath of defeat – preparing to face him again on my leave…

“I am finished Alpha… I announce softly, my eyes foed on my sock covered feet beneath me.

Chapter 19

I hear him groan loudly, which causes me to tense – praying that the frustration wasn’t directed at me – as I begin to shuffle my way back towards the

door.

“Rose…LOOK AT ME!” I jump out of my skin when I hear his growl, my eyes widening from the command.

1 tum in my heels slowly, my head now raised and my mouth slightly ajar.

his very own piercing green orbs as I drink in his naked torso – fully covered in tattoos and still wet with water

“Y–Yes sir?” I turn, my eyes locking with hi droplets.

A mere towel hung loosely on his hips, highlighting his very dominant V line and abs as I practically drool at the man before me…. “Sit down! I want to talk to you!” He points next towards a small desk chair, as I nod and waste no time on moving towards it.

What could he possibly have to say now.
