Chapter 241

“Very funny, but I’m not sleeping on the floor.” I picked up the blanket and pillows and marched over to the
bunks.
I expected the maid to laugh and admit that she was messing with me, being the new employee and all, but instead she leapt off the top bunk and blocked me.
“My room, my rules. Either you find another room to stay in, or you get used to sleeping with the rats.”
I lifted a brow at that. “You’re joking, right? Do you even know who I am? I’m the-”
Before I could finish saying those words-“I’m the Luna“-I snapped my mouth shut so hard it made my teeth clack. Dammit; I’d forgotten again that I was no longer in my old body. And since I’d only just gotten the job that might be the one thing to allow me to see my son ever again, I didn’t want a repeat of what had happened with the Beta.
“You’re who?” The maid tilted her head, cold eyes flashing with malicious glee. “You think you’re the lady of the house now that the Luna is gone and you just happen to be somewhat attractive? No. You’re a nobody. No matter what you think, the Alpha won’t fuck you. So get. On. The. Floor.”
Goddess, how I wanted to slap this girl across the face. If only she knew who I really was.
I studied her briefly, vaguely recalling a few incidents with a servant who kept stealing other people’s food from the fridge. Some of the other staff had come to me on a couple of occasions to make complaints about this very maid.
At the time, I didn’t pay it much mind. There was plenty of food to go around, and I told them to find something else to eat or work it out amongst themselves. Besides, I had other things to worry about, like pleasing a man who didn’t want me.
What a fucking fool I was. So caught up in my own problems that I didn’t handle household issues the way I should have. Part of a Luna’s duty was to manage the household, and I had done… what?
Mope around and wish that Alexander would notice me?
Well, no more of that. I may not have been the Luna anymore, but I could still do something about problematic staff.

For now, I smiled sweetly and turned away from the maid. “Have it your way,” I said, walking back over to the corner and laying down on my makeshift “bed.”
The maid’s sneer was practically audible behind me.
The following morning, I woke bright and early–not that I got much sleep at all on the floor. I quickly dressed
in the gray uniform I’d been given, then pulled my hair back into a neat bun and hurried upstairs to check on
Lucien.
“Hey there, little one,” I whispered as I quietly approached his crib. He was awake already and fussing, but
calmed down when I gently removed the oxygen tubes and cradled him in my arms. There was a tube of
ointment on the nightstand, and I smeared some on the parts of his face where the tubes had irritated the skin.
“There. That feels better already, doesn’t it?”
Lucien cooed in response and flashed me a toothless smile. The sight made my vision blur with tears, and for a
moment, I just held him close and inhaled his sweet scent.
After changing Lucien, I made my way downstairs. The kitchen was already bustling when I entered, staff rushing around to prepare breakfast. I nearly slammed headfirst into the cook as I walked over to the fridge.
“Hey! Watch it, newbie,” the cook growled.
“Sorry,” I muttered, face reddening. As Luna, I could walk through this kitchen whenever I wanted and everyone would move out of my way–not the other way around. This was going to take some getting used to.
Taking care to avoid tripping anyone up after that, I prepared Lucien’s milk with Lilith’s help. She explained that he needed special medicine in his milk and showed me how to dose it out, then warm the mixture to the
