The Alpha King’s Possession

14. Working The Kitchens

MORGANA

The funny little male housekeeper was rather strange. He was really pale for a werewolf, with a head full o f ginger curls and pale green eyes. He was slightly on the tubby side, and he wasn’t so tall. But the best part, he was scared of me.

This would be fun…

“Ok, ma’am Liana I will take care of Morgana…” He said gulping visibly.

It seemed yesterday he was braver, but for some reason, he seemed more worried today… Did someone tell him something about me? Oh well…

“Don’t worry, Corbin will be keeping an eye on her.” Liana said, casting me a look.

I just looked back at her; she was at least five inches shorter than me. I wasn’t sure what to make of her yet, I knew she didn’t like me, but no werewolf was going to like a vampire. Just as I didn’t like them.

“Ok, so Morgana… What are you good at?” Andrei asked when Liana had turned and left.

“In the kitchen…. not much. Back home, I wasn’t allowed to be in the kitchen, it wasn’t fitting.” I said quietly.

I wasn’t really anyone anymore…

“Ahh… Ok, what were your hobbies back home?”

I cast him a faint smile. Although I would love to say weaponry, training, and strategy, I was not about to tell anyone anything more than what I had already displayed.

“I was just the spoiled daughter of my father.” I said simply.

I was his favourite child, although being the daughter of a mistress wasn’t something the queen or her family had appreciated. I’d had several attempts on my life growing up.

“Ok… Well, I will put you to work cutting the vegetables…” He said after a moment. “You can start with this bucket of onions, peel them like this….”

He began demonstrating how to peel an onion.

I’m not that clueless… but I guess after the potato fiasco, I couldn’t really blame him.

“Then cut it in half and put it here…” He continued, placing it on a chopping board and began dicing it.

That would be easy, I was good with a knife.

I had finished the onions and then was given three times the amount in peeled potatoes, which were to be cut into chunky fries for dinner.
