The Alpha’s Slave

Axel’s POV

Immediately I heard the Master’s voice, my heart skipped a beat. I can’t let him see Mona if I really want her to survive.

Mona went on her knees holding my left leg tight pleading for mercy. I don’t why, but I have a very soft spot for her. I tried so many times to kill it off, but I never succeeded in doing that.

“Shhh… Do not make a sound, unless you want to implicate yourself” I mumbled, and rushed off to meet the Master.

“Master?” I walked to him, then bowed slightly at him. Master Stone stared at the corner where I walked out from suspiciously.

“What is going on Axel? What are you doing outside there when you should be inside the Castle?” He furrowed his eyebrows, and my heart skipped a beat. I know that I won’t be in danger if he finds her, but I just feel bad for Mona because the Master won’t think twice to behead her.

“Nothing Master. I was just so pressed that’s why I went over there to urinate. I couldn’t wait to get into the castle. I’m sorry Master” I apologized. Even though it was a lie, I just hope he would buy what I just said.

“Alright… Let’s go” The Master snapped, and I followed him immediately. I looked back, and winked at Mona gesturing her to go through the backdoor.

The Master and I walked down the hallway, and got to his chambers. I unlocked the chains used to lock his chambers, and he walked into the dark chambers.

Even if it was dark, Master Lucien and I already know our way into the chambers.. with or without light.

I turned on the light, and brought out his robe, and a black animal skin slippers from the other corner of the wardrobe.

“Here Master” I handed them over to him, and he nodded his head without saying a word. I could tell he was disturbed. Should I ask him about Madison? I stopped myself immediately I remembered the slap I received at the valleys.

Just then, we heard a faint knock on the door. The knock came again, and he flared up in anger.

“Who comes to the Master’s chambers uninvited?” He roared, fear gripped me but I was already used to him.

I walked to the door, and throw it open. Lady Delia walked in wearing a worried face. Immediately the Master saw her, his anger subsided immediately.

“What do you want, Delia?” He asked backing her, and staring at the window that was closed with the thick curtain.

“Lucien, I don’t understand her anymore. She just doesn’t want to eat any longer. I don’t know what else to do” Lady Delia sobbed. The Master’s eyes that was fierce and fearful slowly became mild, and sympathetic.

He gradually turned his gaze to Lady Delia who was also in tears.

I could see tears circulate in the Master’s eyes the moment he saw how down Lady Delia looked.

“Have you called the doctor?” He managed to speak, and the tears poured down. No one would ever believe that the Master does cry. With his mean and cold look all the time, one would swear that he has never shed a tear before.

“The doctor has visited, and said that there was nothing wrong with her, but she still haven’t tasted any food or drink” Lady Delia replied, and the Master sat tiredly on the bed.

“I can’t… I can’t go and see Zara at the moment. I won’t be able to bear it”He sniffed hard wiping off the tears, and his face returned to the brutal face again.

“Please Lucien, I think you should come and talk to her. She has refused to listen to me, and that’s becoming unbearable for me” Lady Delia cried out.

“I will, but not just today. I can’t go now. I won’t be able to stand the sight of what’s happening to Zara. I want you to assure me Delia, that you’d never get tired of taking care of her” The Master turned his gaze away, and I knew he was crying even if he wasn’t looking at us.

“That was a promise I made many years ago, and I will forever keep that promise” Lady Delia said before leaving the Master’s chambers.

There was an awkward silence between the both of us. All I did was stand like a statue in front of him while he backed me still in agony.NôvelDrama.Org: text © owner.

“My Lord, should I get you a maiden to have a good time with, so that you can calm your nerves? Should I call Emery?” I asked anxiously, and he shook his head in disagreement immediately.

“I don’t want to see any of them” He snapped. The silence continued, but not until we heard a tiny voice singing. The voice was melodious, and sorting. It kept on singing for sometime, and suddenly stopped.

The Master turned to me sharply, with furrowed eyebrows.

“Whose voice is that?” He asked, and I shrugged. He waved at me gesturing me to leave so that he could lie down, and I did.

Lucien’s POV

It was getting late in the night, and no single sleep crossed my eyes. I kept pacing around restlessly.

This isn’t unusual because this has become a part of me for the past six years. I have insomnia, and I haven’t ever had a decent sleep up to two hours or even an hour. While others sleep, all I do is walk around or stare at the ceiling until daybreak.

I sat on the large bed staring out of the dark window. All I was seeing was darkness, and all I heard was the chirping from birds and crickets.

Then, I heard the voice again. It was singing melodious, I tried to ignore it but I just couldn’t bring myself to.

“Axel!” I called out knowing he was in front of my chamber. He answered quickly, and rushed into my chambers.

“Who is the maiden singing that song? Find her, and bring her to me” I ordered, and he nodded.

He walked out, and returned few minutes later with Madison who looked so scared. She fell on her face in fear.

“She’s the one” Axel told me, and I scoffed.

“Sing, slave” I ordered her with a mean voice…..
