The Dark Side of Fate

The Dark Side Of Fate By Karima Sa’ad Usman Novel {Book 2} Chapter 4 –

~Amelia~
I observed the argument between Alpha Leo and his friend. It was very sad what was happening to the man. From what I heard, the bastard was a douchebag and deserved all that he was getting, but I also learned that Leo was a very powerful and influential man.
Why would fate tie me to the heavens and leave me on earth with no ladder? I was aiming above my station.
His statement made me believe I might not succeed with him. Many horrible things happened to me on the streets and in prison cells. Things I never speak of and just brush aside, buried deep in my mind. I often live in denial, but I know the truth.
When I find a place to sleep at night and get through it safely without being disturbed, I know the truth because only then do I experience peace.
Leo’s words scared me and made me almost lose hope completely. I felt terrible about the dish I broke while eavesdropping on him and his friend. But it wasn’t deliberate. Honestly, his statement about breeds and high-borns shocked me and cut me deep, but I hoped I won’t be cut off guard again.
The rest of the day was hard because I had to walk on eggshells. Leo was annoyed after his friend left and did not seem to come out of it.
Seeing him, I knew he had a lot of pain, but didn’t we all?
After I had made his dinner and cleaned up, I opted to leave before he kicked me out.
As much as I was willing to put in an effort and try, I did not plan to irritate him and lose my job in the process. This was the first time in my life that I would have a semblance of peace. A place to sleep, food to eat and hope for wages without being violated. Rejected or not, he has been the kindest person to me.
I returned to the servant quarters, and everyone was there.
The moment I stepped in, the women were silent. It made me feel awkward and out of place, but it was normal. I was the new girl and not just a new girl but a Delta servant. It was unheard of.
Delta’s were usually high-borns from top families. Unfortunately for me, my mother was an Omega that had an affair with a high-born and dumbed the result at an orphanage when she could no longer cope.
I think my eyes also were the problem. If I had the money, I would buy some contacts to hide them, so I do not continue to look like something from a horror movie.
My gaunt, malnourished looks did not help matters either. That was why I was grateful for my new job. I planned to eat as much as possible to fill my body and look healthy.
I smiled to reduce the awkwardness. While some of them returned the smile, some looked annoyed and disgusted. I wondered whose job I might have taken.
I knew Omegas loved to serve the Alphas. Still, I was the only one in Alpha Leo’s house today. He did not seem like the type to fuck the help, or maybe that rule only applied to me since I am the ‘displaced thief he took pity on’.
I did not care, regardless. I had food, a place to stay, wages to collect and a fated to fight for. They could look at me with all the hate they wanted. I just did not care. My skin was too thick for their shit.

I went to my bunk, and a blonde woman was waiting there with a smile. She had blue eyes. She was too attractive for her own good. How can Alpha see me with people like this around him? I did not study them really until I saw the woman. All the Omegas were gorgeous.
“They have had care, Amelia. Sure, we would look better in their situation. Throw them into our life, and let’s see how dreamy they would look. Overprivileged bitches,” Aurora hissed, and I almost laughed but held it.
The woman smiled at me, and I returned the smile, not knowing what to expect.
“Hello, Amelia. I am Macy. The head Omega,” She said with a warm smile, and I nodded, not knowing what to say.
“This is the first time we will have a high breed with us. I want you to know you are most welcome. If you need anything, feel free to reach out to me. Alpha said you are to work only in his house. So you will take up the cooking and cleaning entirely tomorrow. I did the cleaning today, so you can sleep in,” She said and smiled at me.
“Kappa Tom told me what happened. I want you to know he will come around. He has just been through a lot,” She linked me and then winked at me.
“I will also advise you to be careful with some ladies here. You have taken their dream job,” She linked me again, and I giggled, relaxing.
I guess I would not have a hard time with Macy after all.
She left me to settle in.
I managed to change into the Pyjamas available and went to bed.
I woke up early the following day and headed to the shower. It was an open place, but I wasn’t shy. When I took off my towel, some of the Omegas laughed.
“My goddess, is that a skeleton?” Someone said, and Aurora made me turn to see who it was.
It was red-haired. I could see why she would open her trap. She had a gorgeous body. I could easily subdue her, but I did not want to create a problem that would make them report me to Alpha Leo.
I did not need anyone to tell me I was on probation, so I will be on my best behaviour.
The bitch glared at me, and I turned back to continue what I was doing. I finished up quickly, dressed up and went to work.
Alpha Leo wasn’t home when I got there. So I cleaned the house and waited around.
“Bring my breakfast to my office. Make it for two,” I heard his voice in my head, and I jumped a bit. Rarely do people link me, but it seemed I would be getting a lot of that now.
I made him turkey sandwiches with many cold cuts between the toasted bread. I did not like dry sandwiches, so I made them with sauce and mayo and added some heat.
I ate much of it before placing them in a basket and heading to his office. I asked for directions on my way and arrived there.
The office was beautiful. It had a reception and all. I wondered if this was what the Luna’s office would be like.
I waited in the reception and was soon asked to go in.
I wondered what he was doing in the office on Sunday, but I did not need to wonder much when I entered the office and found a pretty brunette in the office with him.
She looked sophisticated and alluring and was a delta like me. Only that she was a pure high-born, not a halfling like me. She also seemed to be into Alpha Leo.
“Oh good, the help is here. I am famished,” She said, turning to look at me, and she screamed from shock when she saw me. My eyes had that effect. I believed I was the only one with those eyes.
“Can she see with that thing?” She asked, referring to my eyes. Alpha Leo ignored.
I greeted Alpha Leo and refused to greet the bitch. I was also a bit defiant about it, and Alpha Leo noticed. I did not care. There was no way he would fire me for her sake. I did not care who she was. I did not work for her.
I went to the table to arrange the food.
“Leo, she is rude,” the woman said, and he chuckled.
“She didn’t do anything, Leah. You said you are hungry. You better fix yourself something from Amelia’s basket because I doubt she will serve you,” he said, chuckling, and I heard the woman growled.
“I am a guest in this pack. I came from the north to pay you a visit, Leo. The least I could get is some respect from your staff,” she complained, and he said nothing.
I served the sandwich and took Alpha Leo’s plate to him. Then I went out of my way, placed one sandwich on a plate, and dumped it in front of the woman.
She looked at the plate with disbelief.
