4. Conflict

"Are you going to do something bad to me? Why did you bring me to your house?" Ana asked Leo as she looked around the house.

"Do something bad to you?" Leo asked as he sat himself on the sofa.

"How could I be bad to you. I'm a good guy." Leo folded his arms across his chest.

"There, you make me a cold juice. I'm thirsty." Leo told Ana to make him a cold drink.

Ana wrinkled her forehead. "What? You think I'm a maid? Why are you telling me what to do? Make it yourself!" Ana refused Leo's order.

Leo immediately stood up to Ana. "You think anything is free in this world? If you want to live here, you have to be a maid." Leo gave Ana a sharp look.

"Or if you don't want to, then just leave now from here. I have nothing to lose. It's your loss to lose a free place to live." Leo smiled wryly, then he returned to his seat.

Ana snorted in annoyance. She really needed a place to live, but not to be a maid.

"Are you leaving here?" Leo asked again.

Ana snorted in annoyance. "Yes, yes, yes! I'll make you a cold juice!" Reluctantly and half-heartedly Ana went straight to the kitchen to make the cold juice Leo had requested.

After about 10 minutes of Ana strengthening the cold juice for Leo, her work was finally done. Ana brought the cold juice to Leo who was still sitting on the sofa.

Ana placed the cold juice in front of Leo.

Without further ado, Leo immediately gulped down the juice greedily. He was indeed very thirsty.

After finishing his drink, Leo stood up and walked to his room.

"You can take one of the rooms here for your room. Thanks for the juice." Leo spoke as he walked into his room.

Ana raised one eyebrow. "How easy is it for him to give me a room? I just met him. Why is he so easy to learn about people he just met? That's very dangerous. It's a good thing I'm not a bad person." Ana could not understand how Leo could trust her so easily.

Ana walked to the third room, she would sleep in that room alone. She didn't want to sleep next to Leo's room.

Ana entered the room. After arriving inside, she couldn't stop being amazed by the large room that looked very comfortable.

"Wow, this room is really big and cozy." Ana sat on her bed.

"Oh my god, it's so soft!!! I've never sat on a bed so soft like this." Ana was amazed at the comfort of the room and its surroundings.

"If it's this comfortable, I think I'll have a hard time waking up when I sleep." Ana climbed onto the bed. She laid her body in the center of the bed. Then she covered her whole body with a thick, soft blanket.

"How cozy." Ana murmured inside the blanket.

"I'm going to sleep. I'm tired from traveling all the way from the forest to the city. My body still hurts from what happened yesterday." Ana closed her eyes, she was going to sleep.

"Go home. I made it safely to my apartment." Sam looked at Johnny, the beta.

Samuel was now in front of his apartment. He was with Johnny.

"Can I help you?" Johnny asked Samuel.

"Take care of our pack. Don't let anything unpleasant happen. I don't want any more chaos in our pack." Sam spoke with a stern and cold look on his face.

Johnny nodded obediently. "Yes, sir. Then I'll be right back. I take my leave." Johnnya bowed his back, then immediately left Sam.

After Johnny's departure, Sam went straight into her apartment.

When he got inside, Sam looked at all sides. "Where is Leo?" asked Sam silently.

"Probably sleeping." Sam answered his own question.

Sam walked straight to his room. Sam entered his room. He took off his shirt, he was currently shirtless.

"Why is it so hot and tiring today?" Sam asked himself.

Sam climbed onto his bed. Then he got under the covers.

"AAAAAAAAAAA!!!!" Sam was immediately shocked and screamed loudly as he got under the covers.

"WHO ARE YOU?!!! WHY DID MY BOLSTER TRANSFORM INTO A WOMAN?!!!" Sam sat up immediately, he looked at the woman with a wary gaze.

The woman sleeping under the blanket was forced to wake up. She sat up with half consciousness. Her mouth yawned widely. "Who are you?" asked Ana with eyes that were hard to open. Yes, that woman was the Ana who had been sleeping.

"WHO ARE YOU?!!! WHO ARE YOU!!! WHO ARE YOU? WHY ARE YOU IN MY ROOM?!" Sam asked in a loud voice.

Ana covered her ears, her ears hurting from Sam's shouting. "Stttttt... be quiet. I'm so sleepy." Ana pressed her index finger against her lips. Then Ana immediately laid back down.

Sam was wide-eyed. "WHAT THE HELL ARE YOU DOING?!!! WAKE UP!!! YOU'RE SLEEPING IN MY BED!!! YOU CRAZY PERSON! GET OUT OF MY ROOM!!!" Sam pulled Ana roughly.

"Hey stupid Sam!!! are you so stupid? she's a woman. Why are you so rude to a woman!!! her hand will fall off if you pull her with your strong strength!!!" Mark, Sam's wolf suddenly spoke up and scolded Sam.

"Shut up, Mark! Do you know how dangerous it is when a stranger comes into our house all of a sudden? He could be an intruder who wants to kill me!" Sam was not to be outdone by Mark.

"But you're so rude!! that woman hasn't even fully woken up from her sleep!" Mark was annoyed that Sam was so incapable of being gentle with women.

Sam was upset, he immediately turned off his mindlink with Mark.

"Why are you so rude to women?!!!" Ana was upset, she snapped at Sam.

Sam gave Ana a sharp look. Then he walked over to Ana.

"What are you doing?!!" asked Ana frantically. Ana panicked because Sam kept approaching her.

"Don't come any closer!!! don't mess with me!!! stop!!!" Ana panicked even more when Sam didn't take his sharp gaze off her.

"Stop!!!" Ana panicked even more when her back hit the wall.

"I'll break your neck if you think you can harass me!!!" Ana threatened Sam.

Sam brought his face closer to Ana. Ana's body trembled even more in fear. Ana's guts shrank suddenly.

"Stay away crazy man!" Ana forced her courage.

"Who are you?" asked Sam in his low, intimidating voice.

"I'm A-Ana." Ana replied innocently and stammered.

"What are you doing here? Who told you to spy on me?" asked Sam again.

"I'm not a spy!" Ana replied a little snapped. Making Sam angry and bringing his face closer to Ana.

Sam smiled wryly. "Do you want it to end right now?" asked Sam with a cold voice and her piercing gaze.

"AAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!! MAMA!!!! HELP!!!!!" Ana screamed at the top of her lungs.

"You think screaming will save you?" asked Sam with a dismissive smile.

"You're done for today!"

Ana's body trembled violently, she was truly afraid of Sam's threat.

"SAMUEL DOMINIC!!!!"

Suddenly the door to the room was roughly pushed. Showing Leo who came in a hurry. Leo approached Sam and Ana. Leo immediately pulled Ana's hand and kept Ana away from Sam.

"Sam!! are you crazy?!! why are you so perverted!! what are you going to do to Ana?!!" Leo was furious with Sam.

Sam immediately wrinkled his forehead in confusion.

"Are you crazy?!!! who is this woman? why is she in my room? she's a spy! why are you protecting a spy?!" Sam was upset at Leo for protecting Ana.

"Hey idiot! at least if you don't know, ask nicely! you're such a temperamental guy!!!" Leo scolded Sam, he pulled Ana's hand and led Ana away from Sam's room.

"HEY LEO!!! WHO IS SHE? WHO IS THAT WOMAN?! WHY DID YOU BRING A STRANGER HERE?!!! WHY DID SHE COME INTO MY ROOM?!!!" Sam yelled at Leo who just left.

"SHE'S OUR NEW MAID! SHUT UP AND TRUST ME!" Leo replied with a shout as well.

Leo took Ana to another room, the second room. The room in the middle, between Leo's room and Sam's room.

"Are you crazy? Why are you sleeping in Sam's room?!" Leo asked with a frustrated look on his face.

"You told me to choose whatever room I want. Yes, I chose that room. What did I do wrong? You did wrong!! Don't blame me! Just blame yourself!!!" Ana didn't want to be blamed, she blamed Leo.

"What?!! You're blaming me?! You're crazy! You're clearly in the wrong!!!" Leo didn't want to be blamed by Ana.

"Besides, why did that fierce man immediately go berserk like a madman?! He's so scary. I didn't do anything, and I told you that I'm not a spy." Ana still had a grudge against Sam who had intimidated her earlier.

"Still thank goodness I came on time. Otherwise, you might have become roast meat because of it." Leo sighed.

Ana had goose bumps, just imagining Sam's scary face scared her.

"Who was that man?" Ana asked Leo.

"I own this apartment. Who are you, and what are you doing here?"

Ana and Leo were surprised when Sam suddenly came and answered Ana's question with his cold voice. Sam was no longer shirtless, he was now wearing a t-shirt on his body.

Ana swallowed, she was terrified to see Sam. Ana immediately hid behind Leo.

"Sam, can you act like a human?" asked Leo tiredly.

"Why are you always scary like a wolf? Act like a normal human." Leo was tired of facing Sam who was always like this.

Sam was surprised to hear Leo's words just now. "You think I'm not human?" Sam asked.

"It's precisely because I'm human that I have an instinct for vigilance." Sam glanced at Ana with sharp eyes.

"Yes, but not really. You can talk and ask nicely." Leo reminded Sam.

"Never mind, explain who this woman is and why is she here?" Sam didn't want to mince words, he demanded an explanation now.

"Ana, this fierce man's name is Sam. We are friends. We have a business together and this is our shared apartment. We are like siblings. Although he looks fierce like a wolf, he's actually a good human being." Leo introduced Sam to Ana. Ana had not yet come out of hiding, behind Leo's body.

"I asked you to explain who this woman is! Why are you explaining to her about me instead?!" Sam was very upset with Leo.

"The point is that she's our new maid. Her name is Ana. Ana is a nice lady. I met her because I accidentally bumped into her. Ana doesn't have a house, so I told her to stay here on the condition that Ana becomes a maid here." Leo explained everything to Sam.

"Are you crazy?" Sam asked Leo.

"Why do you always make decisions as you please? Why don't you ask me first?" Sam asked Leo.

"Never mind, Sam. I already know what your answer will be if I ask you. I'll be in charge of Ana anyway. So you just calm down." Leo didn't want to argue with Sam.

"But you're wrong!!! why do you always make unilateral decisions? I have the right to make this decision too!" Sam didn't want to lose, he felt disrespected by Leo.

Leo towers Sam's hand, dragging Sam out of the room. "Come on out. It's not good to make a fuss in front of people." Leo led Sam out of the room.

Leo and Sam went to the living room. They discussed their conflicting decisions about Ana.

Meanwhile, Ana didn't want to bother. She immediately resumed her sleep, which had been cut short by Sam.
