The Dark Side Of Fate Chapter 451

"Did you make for two?" I asked her, and she did not answer because she had done the same thing she did in the morning.

"You know I have a guest, and you did not make it for two," I said, sounding slightly angry.

"I was beginning to wonder who was the boss," Leah said jokingly, and I was pissed.

"Do not speak of matters that do not concern you. How I relate with my staff is none of your business, Leah. You were not supposed to be in my house. So be grateful I brought you home," I told her, and she was in shock. I knew she was shocked I would speak to her that way in front of Amelia.

"Go and make something for my guest and set the table for me," I told Amelia sternly. She didn't say anything and just walked away.

I would have to speak to her when I am less irritated.

"Your food is ready, Alpha; your guest can join you," She said, and I was amazed that she could whip something up in five minutes.

Amelia had set the table for two, and I wondered where the extra came from. That was when I realised she must have served Leah her portion.

"Did you serve Leah your portion?" I asked her, and she nodded.

"It would have taken extra time to make something, and it is almost closing hours. I do not want to linger," she confessed, and I felt terrible that I might have been a bit hard on her. She had done her job. Leah was an unexpected guest.

"Sit down and join me," I said, and she looked at me amazed.

If I shared my sandwich with Leah, I could share my meal with Amelia. It would be wrong to send her to bed on an empty stomach.

"This is wrong, Leo. She can't respect you like this. No one eats with their help. Delta or not, she is your servant," Leah said, and I laughed.

"And this is my home, so mind your business," I told her, and she was silent.

"Alpha, I have eaten in the kitchen," Amelia said, reluctant to eat with me at the table.

"I know," I said, knowing she was lying and trying to avoid the awkward situation.

"I still want you to join me. So I know you did not poison the food," I teased her with a straight face, and she picked up a spoon with a smile, and we ate together. She was slow and a bit uncomfortable.

We ate silently, and when we were done, Amelia cleared the table, cleaned up and said good night.

I could see a tinge of worry in her eyes.

I hoped she would move on, really. There was no love for her where I was concerned.

I went to my room and locked the door with the key so Leah won't get some ideas. I stayed there until morning.

I waited until eight, when I knew Amelia would be in the house before leaving the room, but to my surprise, Amelia had not resumed her work. Leah was the one cooking in the kitchen.

"Good morning, Leo," Leah said, frying bacon on the stove.

"Where is Amelia?" I asked, and she shrugged.

"You spoil her rotten. I doubt she thinks she needs to be punctual," Leah said.

It was wrong for Amelia to be sloppy on her third day. Had my kindness made her feel she could do whatever she liked? Knowing that Macy would not be in the quarters, I decided to head there and wake Amelia up from sleep myself.

I also planned on deducting some money for her tardiness.

I got to the hall, and there was a lot of noise. It was as if they were fighting.

I did not want them to pretend, so I did not link anyone and stealthily entered. The servants were gathered. They stood yelling and condemning someone in the middle. Macy was busy trying to calm them down.

"Let us take the matter to Alpha. This is wrong, Jeana! Alpha Leo will be mad!" Macy was saying, and she sounded like she was crying.

"What? Are you scared of the freak or something? There is just so much a freak Delta can do to us!" A voice said, responding to Macy.

"She is a thief. We should deal with her and report after. You know how intolerant Alpha is to criminals. Why would he even let her work in his house, knowing she is a street rat and a thief? She had already tried to steal from him," I heard someone say, and knew I could not let it continue.

"Halt!" I yelled with my command, and the entire place was silent.
