"That's right, Mr. Alexander himself chose the design of the dress! Starting tomorrow, you will wear that dress to be the maid who cleans this house!!"
"Eehhh??" Eden gasped.
Became a maid?
For five bucks an hour!
Tyranny!
"And this is your room while you stay in this pack. Jared, the old man, will teach you all your job while staying in this place, what you can and can't do. What time do you have to get up and what time can you eat, etc." Jackson took the notebook and explained all the rules in the pack. Eden gaped at that. The pack rules were stringent, stifling than staying at the in-laws' house.
"Why does it feel like living in a dormitory? Can't I leave the house after my work hours end? I still have to go to school in the morning!" Eden protested, her cute face wrinkled.
"Alpha allowed you to go to school. I'll have Maxi drop you off in the morning and pick you up at noon!" Jackson fixed his dropping glasses.
"But I have my own house. How about my family?? I can't leave them." Eden was still looking for an excuse to return home because she was worried about Vica's condition. Had the woman returned home by now?
"Family? You call the person who sold you to the thugs a family?" Jackson's voice rose again, and this man felt that Eden was so stupid. How many times she had been beaten and even cheated, but still loves her broken family.
"But, I need to..."
"It's almost morning. Get ready to go to school. Once home, Mr. Jared will teach you how to work in this place. We'll talk about your contract later when Alpha is back from work. We will talk about your day off, salary, and bonuses in the work agreement." Jackson closed his agenda book and left Eden's room.
Stepping at the door frame, Jackson said, "Don't try to seduce Alpha!! Until I can prove who you are, Silly Girl! So, you better stop confusing our Alpha and think of you as his Luna. You're just an Omega! You don't deserve to be my Luna!"
"Yeah… yeah, You Fussy Wolfy!" Eden muttered. Eden stuck out her tongue in annoyance at Jackson's annoying attitude. Who was made the wet dog confused?? Instead, Eden became confused when they met. After seventeen years, she found out about magic and supernatural creatures. Even Eden could read the ancient rune. Now the girl doubts her identity as a human. Who was the first that should have been confused?
"I'll be watching over you!" Jackson spun around glanced at Eden. Two fingers to his eyes, then to Eden's eyes. indeed, all of Alexander's men are so similar to him.
A N N O Y I N G!
Eden hugged her dress tightly, never expecting Jackson to know she was mocking behind his back.
Blam!
The door closed.
At six in the morning, Eden saw the dress in her hand. Without hesitation, Eden tried on the dress. Black and white dress with tassel in the chest area. A short, wide-fitting skirt, white lace stockings, and even black shoes.
"These outfits are more like cosplayer than work clothes. What was the real purpose of that wet dog giving me this job? You pervert!" Eden grumbled. She threw herself on the bed.
The bed was much more comfortable than the mattress in her house. Eden looked around. The wardrobe was still open. Rows of expensive clothes were there. On the other side, there was a wardrobe with various bags and shoes. On the desk, there was a new school bag and stationery.
"Tch, he does really care." Eden snorted softly. Alexander had prepared everything before Eden arrived. The bad incident she experienced with Marvel made Eden a day early to come to this residence.
Eden looked up at the ceiling. No, Vica screams, asking for alcohol. There was no threat from Marvel when he came home to ask for money. No sound, silence.
"Huff… at least I have a job now. Alexander also talks about a day off. So I'm going home on the day off. I hope Mom is already home, or I have to report it to the police station as a missing person." Eden was talking to herself.
Silence for a moment before Eden remembered about her daddy.
"Oh, Dad… I miss you. There are many things I want to ask you. Am I really not a human?" Eden closed her eyes to dispel her own anxiety.

At School.
Eden dropped off at an inconspicuous place, a little way from the school gates. She didn't want anyone to know that she came in with Alexander's luxury car. They might think Eden really works as a sugar baby, swore!! Alexander only makes her a maid in the pack.
"Ah… thank goodness no one saw me." Eden closed her locker door. Eden was surprised when Ace's handsome face appeared as soon as the door was closed.
"Ace!! You scared me! I could die of a heart attack, you know?!" Eden nudged Ace's arm with her fist. Ace pretended to wince in pain. Then the two laughed together.
"Haha… sorry, I didn't mean to startle you. You're the one who's out of focus. What were you really thinking that you didn't know I was coming?" Ace was attracting Eden, and his curiosity had been overflowing since yesterday when Alexander came to pick up Eden at school.
"No, I'm not thinking about anything." Eden lied.
[You're lying, E.] Ace said to himself, he knew Eden was thinking about her relationship with Alexander.
"Okay, forget it… how are you doing right now? Are you okay? Are you healthy?" Ace asked again. He was quite worried when he saw Eden fall under the alcohol effect because of the thugs.
"How did you know I was having a bad day?" Eden frowned, confused. Ace, wasn't you are not there that night!!! Yeah, how did you know Ace??
