Chapter 3 - Chapter 2 - Alpha - Work

Last night had my head spinning. She's never tried so hard to please me like that. I almost lost composure. I need to control that bitch in bed.

"Alpha?" Her muffled voice calls, for the third time. It's only been three minutes since I put her back in.

"I gave you a whole hour to do whatever you wanted, Lilly. What do you want?" The annoyance in my tone isn't forced anymore. I really do have work to do. I love her, but she can't be my whole life.

"Why do I have to stay here?" She asks softly. My annoyance fades away at her mournful tone. I know she loves me, and this must be killing her.

"I... I don't have room for you here. And if anyone saw you..." I don't finish the thought. Getting caught on the ifs of my situation is only going to hurt me. "I have to work, bunny."

"Yes, Alpha." Her sigh is soft, resigned. I will get you out of there, I promise. She can't hear my desperation, my own breaking heart, and I don't trust my voice to hold that in right now.

The keyboard is loud, and I'm sure Lilly can hear it through the thin sliding doors that old closet has. Hopefully it's soothing her, and not annoying her. She's never complained about it, at least. An email pops up in the bottom right of my screen. A little omega named Ethan has been doing the work I slack, and he sends me an email after every completed task he does so I know. My Luna would be pissed if she knew I had a lackey. Or, a supposedly dead princess in my 'extra boots' closet. Nobody has a closet for boots. My Luna isn't the smartest.

"Lilly, stop moving around, you're distracting me." The words come out too soft, too gentle. I can't multitask to save my life. She's oblivious, though, so at least there's that. She'll never know anything, as long as my face is composed.

"Sorry, Alpha." I can barely hear her response. She sounds hurt, as if that offended her. I suppose she must be restless. When I get enough money off this stupid job, I can buy a better house. Lilly will have room. And, my Luna, I suppose. She never stays inside long anyways, but if it makes her happy.

My day goes by the same, shushing Lilly and working for hours on end, without a break. Anything for the money, for Lilly.
