The Alpha's Slave Mate

8. Is This What You Planned?

Luna's POV

I continue to look at him, trying to control the rage already brewing in my heart while at the same time trying to keep my cool so I don't do something else that may sound so stupid.

He shuts his eyes and takes a deep breath. "As much as I enjoy how much you are daring me, do not take this too far because if you do, I have a place below my house and do you know what it is called?" He requests, forcing me to look at him with confusion.

"It is called a dungeon, and I can lock you there for days, even years if I want to. Don't test my patience." He declares sharply and I gulp down hard.

The intensity in his voice tells that he means it and is going to do as he says. I bite hard against my bottom lip and notice a sort of expression crosses his features. He looks a little bit confused before stepping close to me once again.

Then he stands right in front of me, trapping me against the wall and gazing down at me with a look on his face that makes me so confused.

Goddess, he is so huge!!

His entire figure is covering me so much that I am sure anyone looking from his back won't be able to see me.

Then I watch as he brings his face closer and closer to mine till our lips are almost touching. I feel a spark of electricity jolt through my body the moment his enticing lips brush softly against mine, and this makes me gasp.

The air suddenly feels charged and a sort of tension begins to brew between the both of us. I don't know why I'm suddenly feeling this urge to hold tight to him.

He brings his thumb once again towards my lips and brushes it against it.

Oh, Goddess!

I don't know how I tilt my head up as if giving him an invitation to kiss me.

He chuckles and shakes his head. He moves briskly away from me and examines me deeply.

"Wow! I never knew you were this feisty and seductive." He says, making me blink rapidly with embarrassment.

I can feel the swelling on my cheeks and I look away. What the hell was that? What was I thinking? I wonder to myself and blink rapidly, trying to slap myself internally. That was so stupid. I just attempted to kiss my alpha when I am not his mate!! Was I seriously seducing him right now?

I'm still thinking about this when his phone suddenly rings in his pocket and I watch him take it out immediately. He places the phone in his ears with his attention still on me.

"Hello?" he waits for a while. He takes a deep breath and sighs. "Well, it appears you guys can't do things and move things forward without me. Fine, I'm going to be there in a few minutes," he says and ends the call immediately.

He looks at me for a very long while with those beautiful eyes of his, piercing deep down into my soul, making me feel confused in ways I've never felt before.

I look away from him and stare at the ground, rubbing my left palm against my elbow.

"This is not over. I'm going to be back. And by the time I return and you have not submitted to my dealings and my orders, a far worse punishment is coming for you. And it is going to continue this way, every single time you remain stubborn. And maybe at the end of the day, you might probably end up in my dungeon and remain there for the next 1000 years." He says with a wicked smirk as I look at him with disbelief.

He chuckles and walks backward slowly before turning around and then heading out of the kitchen. Then he shuts the door immediately after him.

I heave a sigh of relief the moment his terrifying aura has left the room, and then my knees suddenly become weak. I slide my back against the wall slowly downwards till I am in a squatting position. I then wrap my arms around my legs and bury my face against my knee.

This is the worst situation one can ever encounter. Goddess, please help me. I don't understand what is going on. I want to kill this man. Grant me this opportunity just this once. This is like a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. I have dreamt and imagined this moment all these years, working as a slave in the slave camp. Now, I am finally in his home, in his apartment, working as a slave. He is within my grasp at any time to do as I please. Please, just give me the power and the opportunity to grant my parents this final wish. If I can do it, I will forever be indebted to you, O Moon Goddess.

I was thinking about this when the door to the kitchen suddenly slammed open, jolting me out of my prayer.

I look up briskly to see Ava stomping towards me in all her fury, her aura of death blaring all over the entire kitchen.

O goodness me, please don't tell me this is happening right now. I think to myself as I manage to get up sharply on my feet.

" What the hell are you doing? Weren't you supposed to be making the dishes?!!" She screams loudly and before I can utter a word, she has already slapped me hard once again on the other side of my cheek, forcing me to stumble to the side and fall quickly to the ground.

"You are the most annoying piece of s**t I have ever seen in my life," she declares and slaps me hard once again. I feel a very sharp pain shoot up my brain as my surroundings become suddenly dizzy before me. I can't believe this.

"You think I don't know what your plans are? Do you think I don't know what your mission is here? But don't worry, I have caught you red-handed in the act. You are trying to seduce your alpha, my husband-to-be. You are so stupid!!" She screams, and before I can even try to turn to her to counter what she is saying, another sharp slap echoes around the entire kitchen as I feel another sharp pain against my face once again, and this forces slight tears out of my eyes.

The pain is too much. The torture is worse than I expected. What the hell is she talking about?

"Don't worry. He is not here to stop me from torturing you anyhow I want," she declares and then forces me to stand up before gripping tight against my throat and pinning me against the wall. I feel choked.

Goddess, she is so strong! That's why she will surely be deemed as the Luna to be.

"Believe me, I have the right to snap your neck and end your life right now but I don't want to get into trouble if he comes and sees your dead body. Do not test my patience, you little t**t. The next time I get you trying to seduce my husband again, I will kill you. Do you understand that? Get that into your stupid skull!!" She says and slaps my face once again, forcing me to fall to the ground weakly. Then she gazes down at me.

" You are so stupid," she says and heads towards the basin. She picks up the pieces of fish that I had managed to cut before. Then she walks back towards me and dumps everything on my head.

"You have messed everything up. Start all over from the beginning!!" she declares and tosses the tray in front of me before turning around and storming out of the kitchen.

The moment she is gone, I gaze at the pieces of fish on the ground and the tray before me, with the tears now dropping out in torrents out of my eyes.

Yeah, this is worse than I expected. I have not even gone two or three days in this building and I am already going through hell in her hands.

Oh, goddess! I think to myself, as the tears continue to drop endlessly out of my eyes, the pain in my head now is worse than ever.

It has already escalated to the extent that I feel so weak and dizzy.

I struggle to get up, but my knees suddenly feel as if a heavy load has been attached to them. I shake my head briskly and slump back against the ground, leaning my head against the wall and gazing at the ceiling.

Is this how my life is supposed to be, oh moon goddess? Is this what you planned for me?
