The Alpha’s Slave

Madison’s POV:

They pushed me into a dungeon, and I fell on the hard floor as soon as I lost balance. Blood gushed out of my bruised arm, but they never cared of it.

“I’m sure you’re wondering why you were brought here” Emery laughed hysterically, and I reluctantly nodded my head in agreement.

“Well, this is a place where I’m going to teach you a lesson. I’ll make you understand that a slave shouldn’t just because he or she puts on a sack dress. The slave should be ready for any punishment” Emery laughed again, and that was when It started making sense to me why she brought me there.

“But… But I haven’t done anything wrong. I’ve done everything that I was asked to do by the Master. Why should… Why should I be punished when I haven’t committed any offense?” I stammered, and tears filled my eyes immediately.

“Do you need to do anything to be punished? Being a slave is enough offense for you to be punished” She smirked, and turned to the guards at the other side.

“What are you all waiting for? Make the fire, and heat up twice” Emery spoke with hatred all over her face.

I was still chained with a handcuff. I couldn’t stop myself from crying my eyes out. Is this also another order from the Master? Did the Master order them to punish me? So even without getting into trouble, I’ll still be punished? I thought I was free from the cruel Mateo then this?

Still lost in my thoughts and sobbing silently, the other guard Basil took a strong rope, and started to tie my legs together. He took off my handcuffs, and instead chained my left hand to a left pillar, and my right hand to the right pillar.

“How does it feel to be tied up in that manner?” Emery walked closer to me with a mischievous smirk, while I shivered in fear. I still don’t understand why this woman hates me so much.

“Please… Please I beg for mercy” I burst into tears, and she grabbed me by my neck while I choked, coughing helplessly.

“You peasant! If you like cry all you can. I assure you, no one will ever hear you from here. The earlier you stop making noise the better for you” Emery spoke with gritted teeth, and let go of my neck forcefully. My hands were hurting because it was raised.

“Get the whip, give her 50 strokes of cane on her back. If you don’t do the flogging properly, I might change my mind then you’ll be the one receiving the punishments instead of her” Emery ordered with an emotionless voice that was so cold and inhumane.

Mt eyes widened in fear immediately I heard her say that I should be flogged with the long whips the guards were holding. I was speechless because I don’t know exactly what to say. Is the Master this heartless too? Why am I even asking this when I know the master is a monster?

The guards stood right behind me, and raised their whips to flog my back. I was ready to take the punishment, this is my fate and I have to embrace it because there’s nothing… Absolutely nothing I can do about it.

“Wait!” Emery ordered, and they hanged their hands on the air with narrowed eyes staring at her.

Emery snapped her finger, and two slaves walked in with a bucket of water each.

“Water? What does she need the water for?” I thought within myself. I don’t expect myself to get an answer tho, I didn’t even speak up for fear of the punishment being increased.

“Pour the water all over her body, then the guards will proceed the whipping, while the fire is being made to get hotter” She ordered, and a gasp escaped my mouth. How can a human possibly be this wicked? Pouring this water on me will worsen the pains I will feel when I’ll be flogged. I looked up to the sky hopelessly, wishing for death silently. Opening my mouth to talk, words refused to come out of my mouth. I was too dumbfounded to say a word.

The maidens poured the freezing water on me, and I shivered in cold.

“You don’t have to worry about the cold. Trust me, your body will be warm soon” Emery let out a callous laugh while I gritted my teeth.

I was dripping wet from the water they poured on me, and the cold was getting worst. Did they get the water from a refrigerator or what? Is this cold water really from the castle well?

“You may proceed” Emery turned to guards and spoke. They nodded their heads in agreement, and my heart skipped a beat immediately.

I shut my eyes trying to get a hold of myself, and the wood landed on my back. Before I could get myself to bear it, another landed on my back again. They started flogging me with all their strength. I couldn’t hold myself back anymore, tears rushed down my face. If there was anything more than tears, I’m sure I cried it out. The pains were so severe because the wood they were using to flog me was huge.

“Flog her harder” Emery ordered, and they increased the flogging the more. I couldn’t take the pains any longer, so I started wailing on top of my voice.

“Why do I feel like you’re not flogging her enough? By now, her dress should have been stained with blood. How come there are no blood stains on her dress? If you don’t do your job properly then I’ll use the permission given to me by the Master Stone to get your manhood cut off immediately” Emery yelled at them with annoyance. What more does she want? Does she simply wants me dead? I’m already losing my breath from the whipping I was getting.

They increased it, and started flogging me like they were beating an animal. I was too tired to stand, but I couldn’t fall because my hands were chained to the pillars. Blood gushed out of my back, and I wailed helplessly…..
