Yes, I swore to myself that I wouldn't see alpha Grey anymore. But things didn't go the way I planned the next day. Fah and I were appointed to clean some of our pack member's rooms when Luna barged inside.
"Listen, girls," she said in her usual authoritative voice. "There are seven guest rooms we've reserved for the visitors and the tea room. I want you two to have them cleaned by tonight. They will stay for more days, so they should be clean."
That was the first thing we heard early in the morning :) nothing could be worse. Luna gave me the stink eye and left the room, ordering some others to do this and that.
"Total, there are eight rooms, right?" Fah asked me as soon as she left. I nodded. "How about we split and go? Four each. You can choose whatever you like," she said.
I smiled at her words. Though sometimes she treated me like a baby, it came in handy. She was older than me by around five years. So she never wanted me to do hard work though I insisted that I could do it because I was old.
"I will take the tea room and three more rooms," she said before I could decide. I gave her a judging look because it was evident that the tea room was large and complex to clean with all the ornaments.
"This doesn't come to you free, Miss. Every. It would help if you made me a cup of coffee after doing your part," she said, batting her eyelashes.
Knowing the decision was already taken, I nodded and shooed her out of the pack member's room. Then I collected the cleaning items and put them in the rolling cart. I glanced at the neat room and walked out of the room, closing the door behind me.
Then I quickly pitter-pattered after Fah to catch up with her. She pointed at the first room on the third floor and walked towards the tea room with a duster, washcloths, and a basket.
I opened the first room and peeked inside. Woah, it looked... like a total mess! Who the hell lived like a monkey!? Argh.
I huffed in annoyance, not being able to decide how to start and from where to start.
'I swear this person's mate is the unluckiest.' I groaned in my mind.
'I hope it is your mate.' came Sparkle's reply.
'Very funny. Then it's going to be your mate as well, genius. Don't try to be funny.'
'Fine, Miss. Every. Whatever you say. Now chop-chop, start working before the guests arrive.'
She was right.
So I first decided to collect the clothes and things on the floor as well as all over the bed. I mean, how did this person even sleep with a mattress like that?! Sigh, anyway, I took the clothes around and put them in a separate laundry bag, then wrote on the bag 'number 1'. Then I tidied the bed and put new sheets on them.
I thought it was going to be easy. But honestly, there was a lot to do. It took me nearly one hour to clean the first room, and then I trotted to the second to find it even worse than the first.
I copied what I did with the first room and cleaned it, starting from the laundry. I was only halfway through cleaning it when someone opened the door and came inside. I froze.
There was a guy at the door looking at me as if I was a stalker looking around his room. So I quickly pointed at the small trolly with cleaning objects. He looked at it with a questioned look and then nodded.
But he didn't leave the room. So I had to clean the rest under his watchful eyes.
"Why are you cleaning this room anyways?" he suddenly asked.
I quickly showed him that I couldn't speak. He nodded in understanding.
"I am Kavin by the way. The beta of the Dark Moon Pack." he introduced himself to me with a frown. I slowly shook hands with him and withdrew. "Do you go in the woods by any chance?" he asked.
I nodded, but I was confused.
"Mmm, okay. You can leave if you are done here."
So I quickly collected the cleaning equipment and left the room.
I sighed in relief when I was outside.
'So the training and thingies are over?' I asked Sparkle.
'Most probably. I wish the other room is a girl's.'
I opened the third room and poked my head inside. There was no one there, so I laughed to myself and went in. The room was... clean?
'I don't think there's anything to clean here.' I told.
'Yes. Let's leave.'
'Nope. There. Laundry.' I pointed at a pile of used clothes and walked over.
I was thankful to whoever was in the room for keeping the room clean. I took a new laundry bag and started putting the clothes inside. Most of them were turned backwards, so I had to turn them to the right side.
I was filling the laundry bag with clothes when I heard the water running inside the washroom. There was a washroom attached to the side of the room, and the door remained closed.
'Oh god, there's someone inside.'
After a few seconds, the sound stopped. I quickly stuffed the clothes into the bag, trying to flee from the room but stopped when I realised I had to put clean sheets on the bed. I groaned and pulled the used bed sheet. Then I quickly pulled the pillowcases, but I wasn't fast enough.
I was about to put the new sheet on the bed when someone came out of the washroom. And stupid me, I crouched down in fear. I didn't want that person to think that I was an intruder.
It was silent at first. So I patiently waited for that person to leave the room or something. And then I realised I'd left the cleaning trolly in the middle of the room. What a brain I've??
I heard soft footsteps and the ruffling of clothes. And silence again.
"I can't remember this being here." I heard a familiar voice mutter.
It was alpha, Grey. What the actual duck???
And he was talking about the trolly.
Thinking it was better soon than late, I quickly rose from the crouching position to see an image I would never forget.
He was naked.
